In Ark Simulator, why do I always start out as a ruthless person?

But even so, Gertrude still gritted her teeth and forced her way into the parliament.

"You can't die... Qi, you absolutely can't die..."

"If you die, I...I..."

I have nothing left!

The intense fear and uneasiness that she realized belatedly made Gertrude lose her mind at this moment, and she even showed a bit of fearlessness that did not belong to her, a kind of bravery that was meant for survival after a desperate situation.

This fear was not entirely because she was afraid of losing her power and status.

More importantly, Gertrude herself couldn't explain it clearly... a collapse like the collapse of her spiritual support.

There was no way he was going to die.

He is the man she has chosen, the one who can overthrow the twin queens and become the Emperor of Leitania!

There is absolutely no way he can die!

Just as Gertrude was about to re-enter the fire with this thought in mind.

A Golden Law Guard who was looking for other ways to break through the fierce fire suddenly noticed a figure on the roof of the parliament...

It was a graceful figure wearing a military uniform, with long orange hair.

And the figure with the extremely conspicuous blood-red long horns that the woman was holding in her arms was exactly——

"That, that's His Royal Highness the Regent!"

"His Royal Highness the Regent is fine! He's still alive! He's still alive!"

"?!"

For a moment, the ecstatic voice of this Golden Law Guard not only stunned everyone present.

Even the two queens in the twin towers in the distance were shocked by this sudden scene!

"How can this be?!"

When the twin queens saw Chen Qi, who appeared on the roof of the parliament on the magic screen, the expressions of the twin queens couldn't help but twist.

"Impossible! How did he know our plan?!"

"Could it be that Gertrude is pretending to cooperate with us? But we have never disclosed the assassination plan to Gertrude! How did he prepare in advance?"

The Black Queen suddenly stood up from her seat. Everything she saw was obviously beyond her expectations, so much so that even though the reality was right in front of her, she chose to deny it.

"Even if, even if he knows our plan!"

"How did this woman manage to stay undetected? Even our 'Voice of the Queen' didn't detect her?"

"We didn't even notice her, what's going on?!"

"…This is Casimir's triple crown, the mace."

However, compared to the Black Queen, the White Queen remained calm in such a desperate situation.

Looking at the mace on the magic screen, Queen White vaguely guessed the answer to the question.

"That's it, that's it."

"The people of this land have some sense of Originium skills in their bodies. As long as we can sense the rhythm of Originium skills, we can accurately identify a person's location."

"In Leitania, the land of Originium arts, our spells, equipment, and tools are also centered on the rhythm of Originium arts."

"But, she is a defective product!"

These days, Queen Bai, who has always been paying close attention to Jian, Chen Qi's right-hand man, has completely understood her life experience.

Even though Queen White had a good temper, she gritted her teeth at this unexpected woman and explained with words squeezed out from between her teeth:

"There isn't even a trace of Originium skill fluctuation in her body!"

"So, the 'Voice of the Queen' didn't find any trace of her, and even we couldn't find her!"

"She has been lying in ambush on the rooftop, and has been prepared to rescue Qi when he is in danger!"

"*vulgar Leitanian slang*! Damn it!"

The last chance failed again. This time, the Black and White Queen’s psychological defenses completely collapsed!

In the political field, assassination, such a lowly and despicable method, can only be used once!

And it must succeed!

If the assassination fails, what awaits them will be the counterattack from the other side's united party and endless political purges!

More importantly, this would cause their image among the people of Leitania to plummet!

They will be the twin queens who rescued the people of Leithania from the tyranny of the Witch-King.

A dirty politician who is willing to resort to such despicable means as assassination to eliminate his political opponents!

They can't afford such a price!

"hateful!"

The Black Queen gritted her teeth, and immediately used her Originium skills to condense her own weapon, and was about to walk out of the twin towers.

"where are you going?"

"Is there any need to ask?" The Black Queen gritted her teeth and said with determination:

"Go and kill the remnants of the Witch King!"

"As long as we kill him, Leitania will no longer be ruled by the Witch King's ideas. Only in this way can we avoid war—"

"Hildegard!"

This time, the White Queen shouted even more harshly than before, stopping the Black Queen who was about to pick up her gun and go into battle.

But when the Black Queen turned her head, she saw a scene that surprised her.

His sister, who was always in charge of the overall situation, was now sitting on the throne with a tired look on her face. She said bitterly as if she had given up all resistance:

"Let's face it, we...failed."

"From politics to public opinion to the conspiracies and schemes that we used to disdain... we have failed."

"Even if we kill him, it will only drag Leitania into a deeper abyss. Even then, we won't be able to wash away the stain on our bodies."

"Give up this meaningless resistance, Hildegard... At least, let Leitania bleed less."

……

"Fortunately, I made preparations in advance."

"That student of Frémont's named Ermengarde has come up with this really cool little gadget. It can put you in a cube and then let you out."

At the same time, on the roof of the parliament, Jian pulled Chen Qi out of the sea of fire with a princess hug.

As she looked at Chen Qishi in her arms, who was unharmed except for his burnt clothes, she revealed a calm smile.

"I didn't expect that I, who have no adaptability to Originium techniques, would have such an advantage."

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have relied on fighting when I was in the slums, but learned to steal, I might have lived a better life."

"Then I will lose my most trusted general, mace."

Chen Qi, who was held in Jian's arms, was still a little frightened - although he had already made the plan, when it came to implementing it, Chen Qi's fate was still in Jian's hands.

With the raging momentum of the fire, if the speed of the mace was a little slower, he would have burned a layer of skin.

Chen Qi, who only showed a little sincerity in front of the mace, hesitated and asked when he noticed the Golden Law Guards who finally discovered the two of them below the parliament:

"Mace, isn't this posture of ours a bit indecent?"

"I am a regent after all, and will soon be the emperor of Leitania. How can you hold me in your arms like this?"

"What's the matter?"

However, Jian's smile widened a little, and he chuckled with a hint of evil humor:

"Regent? Emperor of Leitania? Wasn't it me who pulled you out of the sea of fire?"

"If you think it's unsightly, why don't you just escape by yourself and stop ordering a poor man like me around?"

"That's what I said...but please give me some face."

Faced with the mace that was deliberately used as a joke, Chen Qi felt even more helpless.

But this time, without waiting for Chen Qi to speak again, Qian, who had understood what she meant, quickly put Chen Qi down from her arms before the people below gathered together.

"Okay, just wait here, my great emperor."

"And the Originium loudspeaker you requested is ready for you. If you give a speech here, I guarantee that half of Trillintelme will be able to hear it clearly."

"I still have some tasks you assigned me to do, so I'll leave the rest to you."

After helping Chen Qi to stand again, Jian's expression returned to his usual indifference, but his tone was still quite teasing as he said:

"Remember, this time, you must deal a fatal blow to those two high and mighty queens."

“…Yes, I understand.”

Chen Qi looked at Jian who jumped down from the roof of the parliament, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - Jian was really his good comrade.

Having shared hardships in the slums until today, Jian could have had no respect or boundaries for Chen Qi, and no one in the party dared to say anything bad about her.

But Jian knew clearly when and in what occasions she could joke, and when she should maintain the status of a subject, give more respect to Chen Qi as the monarch, and not undermine his dignity.

Jian may not have political wisdom, but her mind, which knows what to do and when, is smarter than countless people.

"boom."

On the other side, after jumping down from the roof of the parliament, Jian walked slowly towards Gertrude after landing.

"Crack!"

The next second, the big sword in Mace's hand fell to the ground, and the blade was only a few centimeters away from Gertrude's head.

Before the terrified Gertrude could react, the cold voice of the mace came:

"Gertrude, I have the right to suspect you of treason for allowing an assassin who was trying to kill the Regent to enter Parliament."

"Here, as the regent's guard, I will arrest you!"

"Someone, take her down to me."

"Yes!"

As soon as Mace's cold voice fell, two figures wearing the same armor as the Golden Law Guards, but like ghosts, came from the left and right, and pulled away Gertrude who was lying on the ground.

At this time, Gertrude finally recovered from the danger.

Her Majesty is not dead.

Everything went smoothly as planned.

Then next... Qi, you will soon become the Emperor of Leitania!

Gertrude, who understood all of this, felt that her body, which had been paralyzed by the horrific assassination, began to regain consciousness again.

Moreover, in order to continue to paralyze the Gemini Queens, or to give Chen Qi more momentum.

Gertrude put on a full show and even began to wail at the top of her lungs!

"I, I didn't betray you! I didn't betray you!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness! I didn't betray you! Please forgive me! Forgive me--"

I have to say that Gertrude's acting is first-rate.

Her cries, the confession, cowardice and heart-wrenching regret in them, are so heartbreaking that anyone who hears them will cry.

But for all the Leithanian people who witnessed this scene, this just proved that Gertrude's betrayal was not groundless!

And now, Chen Qi, standing on the roof of the parliament, has only one thing to do.

Lead his loyal subjects and warriors to put an end to the reign of the Twin Queens once and for all!

"——The people of Leitania, and the brave warriors of Leitania, I am the regent, Qi."

Standing proudly on the roof of the parliament, Chen Qi raised the Originium loudspeaker in his hand and spoke the speech that he had memorized long ago to thousands of Leitanians one by one.

"Just now, we encountered an unprecedented, despicable and heinous betrayal!"

"In order to protect their power from being taken away, the Twin Queens sent out their loyal lackey, Earl Hyacinth, to try to assassinate me in the parliament. Let the hero you support die here!"
