As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

Not to mention the various experiences that Clotia had before being captured, she had already been affected by various ancient events in the basement of the Black Sand Castle.

The Dawn Kingdom and the Saint Lady...are they really as glamorous as they appear?

It should have been an extremely simple question, and it was a simple question that all the people in Dawn Country could answer easily.

But at this moment......

Clotia was confused.

Each experience seemed to remind her that the Saint Lady was no longer the same as before...

From the moment I was demoted and called a sinner, everything seemed to have changed.

It’s just that I’m still reluctant to face it and admit it.

“I…I don’t know…”

Clotia lowered her head, not knowing how to answer Chenxing's question for a moment.

What should I say and what can I say.

Being a prisoner was already a fact, and the other party did not sentence him to death immediately, which was already... forgiving.

Clotia also understood that the Morning Star in front of her, the king of the Kingdom of Grullit who was known as the tyrant, was not at all as rumored... a tyrannical dictator.

On the contrary, after a short time together, Clotia felt...

The other party is very similar to the former Saint Lady.

Whether it was helping the orcs without regard for the cost, or just some simple words and attitude...

"About the Saint Lady... do you know anything?"

Clotia hesitated for a long time, but still asked, even using honorifics subconsciously.

After all, the other party is his benefactor no matter how you look at it.

According to the agreement, I should do the same...

But I didn't expect that the person I had high hopes for and admired a little bit had actually been my enemy all along.

It's really... ironic.

But even so, Clotia still wanted to know.

Is it me or the Saint?

Is it true that my loyalty has changed, or is it... just like what Precier said?

It's simply because Lady Saint, the country of Dawn is completely... hopeless!

If this is really the case, then my own belief, my own persistence......

What is it?

"I'm sorry, but I don't know about that either."

When Chenxing said this, the hope in Clotia's eyes was completely... shattered.

She understood that as prisoners, the only fate waiting for her and Ophelia was... death.

Thinking of this, for some reason, Clotia felt a little...envious of Precier who was standing beside her.

It is said that a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Perhaps compared to the current Saint, this Grullit Morningstar... is really much better.

It was lucky that Presil was the first to wake up and see through all this.

But...

In the end, there was no chance to find out the truth.

Understand the Saint Lady and the truth about how the Dawn Kingdom has become what it is today.

"but......."

Chenxing changed the subject, causing Clotia to raise her head again instantly.

but.......

"Just because I don't know now doesn't mean I won't have a chance to find out the truth. The opportunity... is right in front of you. How do you choose..."

Chenxing opened his hands, and what he wanted to express was... already very clear.

only.......

"Don't even think about it! Tyrant! Sooner or later, the Saint Lady will..."

Ophelia noticed Clotia's hesitation and hurriedly opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Morning Star before she could finish her words.

"Tyrant? Me? Did I set up a hatchery for Void Beasts in the Kingdom of Grullit and then frame my subordinates for it?"

Morning Star snorted coldly.

The simplest words left Ophelia unable to refute.

They saw the truth with their own eyes!

Even on the way to being transferred to the cell, they saw with their own eyes the scene of the current capital of the Kingdom of Grullit.

Could such a well-organized city really appear in the territory of a tyrant?

"I......."

Clotia opened her mouth, obviously moved by Chenxing's words.

At least.......

At least this is the truth...

"Claudio! We all swore to be forever loyal to the Saint!"

"I know......."

"Now that you know..."

"It's because you know me that I want to know the truth!!!"

Clotia could no longer control herself and screamed almost at the top of her lungs.

How could she not know how important loyalty is to a soldier?

But.......

But what if this so-called loyalty is pushing the Dawn Kingdom into the abyss?

What if this loyalty was wrong from the beginning?

Does loyalty mean that we have to blindly... blindly believe in everything, regardless of whether it is true or false, right or wrong?

"Loyalty... Ophelia, you have also seen the Void Beast Hatchery in the capital, and you have also witnessed the bones of those who died in the hatchery... Is such a Dawnbreak Kingdom... really worthy of our continued loyalty???"

Clotia clenched her fists.

She knew that Precier's behavior was... undoubtedly the most shameful.

But......

Clotia didn't know why.

The faith that was once the most indestructible is now...

Once doubts and questions arise, they will take root in your mind and will never go away!

Chapter 87: Praxier's Request

"I will never betray the Saint Lady. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!!"

Ophelia simply turned her head to the other side.

It's not that she doesn't want to refute anything, but it's all really just as the other party said...

The more you refute, the more your inner faith will be shaken.

Even Clotia fell silent for a moment.

She knew that maybe she was really wrong, but...

How could she not know what agreeing to Chenxing's request meant?

No matter what the premise is, betrayal...is always betrayal, and it will always be an indisputable fact.

"Don't worry, I will give you enough time to consider it, but only until... the end of the war!"

Chenxing was not in a hurry for the other party to give a reply.

He also knew that it was difficult for someone like Clotia to make such a decision.

On the contrary, if the other party really agrees directly, it will give people the feeling of being a fence-sitter.

This loyalty is also one of the reasons why Morning Star took a fancy to Clotia.

There is nothing wrong with loyalty, the only thing wrong is... choosing the wrong monarch to be loyal to.

"Thank...thank you...Morning Star...Your Highness."

Whether intentional or not, Clotia's address to Morning Star was clearly honorific.

Maybe in her mind, Morning Star's performance is indeed worthy of this honorific title.

Worthy of the title of king!

Morning Star did not stay any longer, but turned around and left the cell with Precier.

For a moment, the entire cell fell completely silent.

Both Clotia and Ophelia were...struggling and hesitating.

Outside the cell, as the iron door closed again, Morning Star also stopped.

After all, the main reason for coming here this time is because of Presil.

About what Precil suddenly wanted to say to herself.

Chenxing was also very curious about what Presil wanted to talk to him about at this time, and she had to talk about it... alone.

"Don't you have something to tell me? Now you can..."

Morning Star waved his hand to temporarily disperse the guards at the prison gate, indicating that Presil could say whatever she wanted to say.

only......

Although I have informed Sheila that she wants to discuss something with Chenxing, she is still... a little hesitant.

Because she knew that what she was about to say next... would undoubtedly be rude and excessive.

His Highness Morning Star gave her a chance to choose, and even when she wanted to continue resisting several times, he did not blame or punish her.

This can be said to be the ultimate tolerance.

but.......

Precier gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and made a decision.

"Your Highness, please spare as much of the people of Dawn Country as possible in this war!!!"

Precier knelt on one knee, not daring to look up and meet Morning Star's eyes.

She was so nervous that cold sweat soaked her back.

But even so...

Even though they knew that this request would make Morning Star angry, those people from the Dawn Kingdom...

Morning Star also understood that the people that Precier was talking about were not just the ordinary people in Dawn Kingdom.

Also included......

The warriors of Dawn Kingdom who will fight on the battlefield.

For a moment, Morning Star also fell silent.

Not that Morningstar would actually get angry at such a request.

After all, Precier was born and raised in Dawn Country.
