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

I...was right about him.

"Xiaoye, please... leave for a while. There are things I want to discuss with the King of Morning Star alone."

"But......."

Xiaoye frowned visibly as she listened to Helius' words.

Who is the other party? He is a tyrant who “can be killed by anyone”!

Not to mention the matter of the Abyss Warlock, the other party's massive invasion of Dawn has caused countless Dawn people to be displaced because of the war.

Along the way, she and Helius had seen too many innocent people suffering because of the war.

Such a tyrant who kills innocent people and provokes wars wantonly...

How could Xiaoye be willing to let His Highness Helius meet the other party alone?

If that tyrant wants to do something to His Majesty Helius...

"Don't judge a gentleman by your own standards. Although we have never met, I believe in him. It's a kind of... intuition..."

"No! Your Highness, how can you meet with such a person alone..."

"Really? Since Xiaoye doesn't want to take it, then I don't think I want to take today's medicine..."

"Ah? Your Highness, you are cheating! I...I...I will leave, but I can't go too far away! And if your Highness really encounters a problem, you must..."

"Don't worry, Xiaoye, when have I ever done anything unreliable?"

Chapter 92: War... is war

"It's our first meeting. I'm sorry that I can't greet you with the highest etiquette due to health reasons..."

Looking at the Morning Star that came before him, Helius also spoke with a smile.

This Gruulite Morning Star...is younger than he thought, and even looks younger than himself.

But...

Through those eyes, Helius saw...a maturity and calmness that was absolutely beyond the ability of a man of his age.

It's like a mature soul existing in an extremely young body.

"It doesn't matter. Welcome or something... Prince Helius, you are joking. You have come in person, so I am the host and I should be the one welcoming you."

Morningstar shook his head.

The moment he saw Helius, the last trace of doubt in Morning Star's heart disappeared.

The same look and expression as in the original work.

A person's behavior can lie, his character can be disguised, and even his appearance can be completely covered up.

But only the eyes...

Eyes don't lie.

And the look in Helius' eyes was enough to make Chenxing certain that the other party was not a time traveler.

If you weren't a time traveler, everything would be simple.

"After all, it was me who called you out without permission. I am sorry for wasting His Highness Morning Star's precious time."

"Let's just have a normal chat. Prince Helius came all the way here, so he didn't come here just to flatter me, right?"

Morning Star waved his hand.

This kind of "ritual sense" like red tape...

I really can't adapt to it.

Just say what needs to be said. Is it necessary to make both parties so tired?

What is the art of language? Chenxing just feels that it is time-consuming and laborious.

"I'm sorry, it's just... it's my first time meeting His Highness Morning Star, and I'm a little excited... As for why I came here this time... it's actually not a big deal, I just have some small things I want to discuss with you."

Helius had nothing to hide.

To be more precise...

When talking to someone like Chenxing, there is no need to worry about the nobles' etiquette.

It really made Helius feel relieved.

The only time I can experience this feeling is when I am chatting with Xiaoye.

Of course, Helius had no intention of belittling the other party.

Just think...

People’s current concepts are…too “old-fashioned”.

Even the Holy Empire, which is almost like a "leader", is no exception.

It is precisely these most complex "rules" that have the greatest impact on efficiency that are highly sought after by "superiors".

This is really...too sick and too deformed!

They say they want to consider the ordinary people of the kingdom, but are those rules and regulations really considering everyone?

"A small matter? It can be a small matter that can make Prince Helius take such a big risk to come here?"

"To me, it is indeed just a small matter. Since Your Highness Morning Star wants to be more direct, then I will speak directly. What do you think about the war?"

Helius smiled, but his expression changed noticeably when he talked about the topic of war.

His eyes were always fixed on Chen Xing's, as if he couldn't wait to find the answer he wanted before the other party even opened his mouth.

This question also made Chenxing stunned.

The second prince of the Holy Kingdom really has plenty of free time.

What is this? Coming all the way here to have a "talk about heroes over wine" show with me?

Unfortunately, he is not the Emperor Liu, and Helius is definitely not Cao Cao.

"What can I say? War... is just war, there is nothing to say!"

Although the question was strange, Morning Star still chose to answer it.

At least in this alien world, Helius is the first "native" who is not offensive at first impression.

and......

Chenxing was also quite curious, what was the meaning of Helius talking to him about this?

"War... is it just war? Easy to answer... War is indeed just war..."

Helius said, sighing for no apparent reason.

"Whether it's a war of aggression or a war of defense, whether it's out of goodwill or malice... No, it should be said that no matter what the banner is, it's just a war in the end, a war between people, a war between different races..."

"I thought that as a member of the Holy Church, Prince Helius would severely rebuke me as the instigator of the war."

Chenxing teased with a smile.

After all, in the game forums, the Holy Kingdom is notorious for its hypocrisy.

The typical type of person who wants to put on a good show after becoming a BZ.

On the surface, it is said that for the sake of peace, war cannot be provoked, and any "sinner" who attempts to provoke war cannot be let off.

But in reality, it was the Holy Kingdom that fought the most!

Let’s not talk about the various conflicts with Blood Moon Island.

Whether it is in the "name" of protecting the Elf Forest from any infringement or targeting the dwarves who want to mine ore at the edge of the Elf Forest.

Or they could form an alliance with the Dawn Nation under the banner that "gender discrimination" should not exist.

Ultimately, it's all for the benefit of the Holy Empire itself.

The purpose of targeting the dwarves is to monopolize special mineral resources in exchange for the dwarves' forging technology.

As for forming an alliance with the Dawn Kingdom.

Whether it is the Houndstooth High Territory or the Kingdom of Grullit, as long as one of them is strong enough to annex the other two surrounding countries.

They will threaten the Holy Empire closest to the Dog-tooth High Territory.

The Dogtooth High Collar completely despises the Holy Empire, and the former Kingdom of Grulith is not in the Holy Empire's eyes.

In the end, there is naturally only one choice left.

Even this last option comes with a chance to study the power of the abyss.

These actions of the Holy Empire...

There's an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

They say that war is bad, but wasn't the establishment of the Holy Kingdom based on a genocidal war against dragons?

If the Dragon Clan had not been fighting almost all races on its own, how could the Holy Empire have had the opportunity to take advantage?

"If it were my relatives... maybe they would really do what you said, but I think... war is not necessarily a completely bad thing sometimes, although the essence of war is still bad."

Helius sighed.

It seems that the impression that the Holy Empire left on the leaders of various countries...is indeed giving him a headache.

But he also understood that he had no right to blame.

After all, if it weren't for the "despicable deeds" of the successive kings of the Holy Empire, there would not be the powerful Holy Empire today.

It's just that some things...can't be put on the table.

Otherwise, if it were him, there would be some practices...that he would have to do under certain special circumstances.

Just like...the war that is breaking out right now!

"Second question... Your Highness Morningstar, is the purpose of your war... just the Dawn Nation?"

Chapter 93: Actually, You Owe Me a Favor

The moment this question was asked, Helius's expression became noticeably serious.

Any war must have a purpose.

To be more precise...war is a "tool" to achieve a goal.

The point is never the war itself, but what those who rule the war want to gain through the war.

At least in Helius' opinion...

Morning Star’s goal is definitely not just the Dawn Kingdom.

Before coming here, Helius went to check the extent of the damage to the capital of Dawn Nation...

Even though the Dawn Nation has always claimed that it was caused by a failed experiment.

But he knew very well that it was man-made, even... caused by one person alone.

That person, the one who possesses such earth-shattering power, is right in front of him at this moment.

It's Grullit Morningstar in front of you!

With his own strength, he was able to destroy most of the capital of the Dawn Kingdom, which had the Saint of the Abyss!

This war is totally unnecessary!

In other words, Morning Star alone can completely destroy the entire Dawn Kingdom.

Since the other party didn't do that, it must be......

The target is not the Dawn Nation!

The Dawn Kingdom is merely a foil to this war.

But what is the real purpose... Helius just can't guess.

Is it the houndstooth turtleneck from the same neighboring country?

It's unlikely. The Dogtooth High Collar is in chaos right now, and Morningstar has also sent the red-haired demon over there.
