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

I am disappointed with this country and my past beliefs.

What Clotia really condemned was this act of betrayal, not the idea of ​​choosing another way out to "save" the Dawn Kingdom.

In other words, if Precier were to seek another wise leader, even if it was the Holy Empire, it shouldn't be...

Grulit Morningstar, the king of the enemy country, is an invader who intends to destroy the Kingdom of Dawn.

"There is no point in saying more. Now that I have made the choice, I will not regret it. No matter what the reason is, the Dawn Kingdom is now..."

At this point, Presil's expression dimmed slightly.

The once glorious Dawn Kingdom is now...

As a native of Dawn, how could Presil not feel any resentment or loneliness?

It's just that when disappointment far outweighs these emotions...

"Even if the Saint Lady was forced into a desperate situation?"

"She is your Saint Lady. The only one I believe in now is..."

"You have said these words to the Saint before..."

"Enough!! This is different!! His Highness Morning Star...he gave me many chances, I don't want to..."

Precier refused decisively.

Even if the saint really became like this for some reason, she would not and could not turn back.

I have seen His Highness Morning Star's kindness and retreat towards me time and time again...

Even if I can only become a marginal figure next to the other person.

But these favors, the other party's promise to oneself, that will try to preserve everything that the Dawn Kingdom originally had...

You have to give back.

What's more, even if the Saint can return to the way she used to be, can the current Dawn Kingdom...change back together?

Having come to this point, the Dawn Kingdom has already... no future at all.

Noticing the determination in Precier's eyes, Clotia tactfully stopped talking about this topic.

Maybe this is what they call... People with different ideologies cannot work together?

I never thought that this sentence would one day be applied to myself and my former colleagues.

"To be honest, I actually... envy you for choosing a path that allows you to see the future, and for letting go of the past and following your new master. Even though he is my enemy, I have to admit that the King of Morning Star is indeed... a wise ruler. Your choice is not wrong. What is wrong is... this world."

Clotia smiled self-deprecatingly.

Even if the act of betrayal was true, Precier had done nothing wrong.

If I were in her shoes and experienced what Precier had gone through, I would probably make the same choice.

Unfortunately......

If the Saint Lady hadn't changed, if the Dawn Kingdom hadn't changed, even...

If the first person I met was Grullit Morningstar...

But what’s even more regrettable is that there is no if in reality.

"We're here. Above is..."

When they arrived at the secret door leading to Maria's room, before Clotia could say anything, they heard a series of noises from above.

It seems like someone is... dragging something.

But the place above my head should be the Saint’s room, how could... this happen?

Fortunately, there are special magic items in the passage to block detection and magic fluctuations.

But even so, the two of them still tacitly lowered their voices to avoid the possibility of being exposed.

After all, this is inside the palace. Given their current situation, if they are discovered...

Even though Presil had the "life-saving item" given by Morning Star, she still didn't dare to be careless.

"That's right. I can't mobilize the power of the abyss as easily and directly as you can, even if I rely on the props given to me by that master. But that device is different. You should also know what the power of the void beast represents, right?"

The sound came from upstairs, and it visibly startled the two of them.

Because the owner of that voice is the Saint of the Dawn Kingdom, Christine Maria!

But let’s not talk about the fact that her tone just now was totally inconsistent with her usual saintly tone.

And the words spoken...

What do you mean I can't mobilize the power of the abyss as easily and directly as you? Who are you referring to?

And the other party mentioned... that sir, the power of the void beast...

"Even if you can get everything from me, so what? It still won't change the fact that you will die, a miserable death!! Even if my soul and even my body will be completely taken over by the Void Beasts, what about you? You are also a dog to these beasts!!"

A hoarse voice came, accompanied by...

A slight knock on the floor.

It's almost as if...it was done on purpose.

The most surprising thing was that even though the voice was extremely hoarse, which was the result of someone maliciously damaging the vocal cords, the two of them could still vaguely distinguish that the voice was...

After all, it was the existence that changed their lives and gave them hope and faith...

No matter how the voice changed, they could not make a mistake.

Saint...

Two saints?

What on earth is going on?

Get everything.......

The Saint is really...

Was he really replaced by someone?

This most unlikely situation...

Chapter 98: The Omniscient and Almighty Lord Morning Star

Even though the voices above their heads had long since faded away, both Precier and Clotia were still in... shock.

The astonishment and confusion in his eyes took a long time to dissipate.

What did they just hear?

The saint is dragging another saint?

Why are there two saints?

impossible! impossible!

If the saint was replaced, and someone else pretended to be her, it would be impossible to fail to detect whether it was her strength or her bloodline.

Moreover, they had been with the Saint for so long, it was impossible for them not to notice...

Thinking of this, Presil was obviously stunned.

The sound of the morning star seemed to echo in my ears again.

His Highness the Morning Star...has asked this question more than once.

Did the Dawn Kingdom's series of plans start at "a certain point in time"?

Did the changes in the Dawn Kingdom and the Saint begin at......the same time......

perhaps......

It’s not that they didn’t notice it, but that they never doubted that...the most unlikely possibility.

Not to mention that such substitution is simply impossible, ordinary people would never do such a dangerous thing.

How could a saint who has so many trusted followers around her not notice that she was replaced?

But...

The most dangerous is the safest.

It is precisely because no one thinks about it that...

What’s even more terrifying is that His Highness the Morning Star had actually already... guessed all of this.

Otherwise I wouldn't have asked those questions specifically.

Before, Precier couldn't understand it, but now it seems...

The other party noticed it from the first time I asked.

They had never even come into contact with the Saint, let alone understood the Dawn Kingdom and the Saint as well as they did.

His Highness Morning Star's vision and wisdom...how far have they come?

With just a few words, one can guess that the Saint Lady has been replaced by...!

After making sure that there was no more sound from above, the two finally removed the magical disguise of the secret door and came to this extremely familiar room.

The traces of dragging...are very obvious.

It was still reminding the two of them that everything that had just happened was real and not... a nightmare.

This time, even Prashant didn't know what to do.

Not just because of the incident itself.

besides.......

His own betrayal.

How should I...

Facing the real saint?

"Wait a minute, here..."

Just when Presil was confused, Clotia beside her seemed to have discovered something and hurriedly bent down to check.

Looking closer, it seems...

Lines left by blood.

The most important thing is that this texture...

Prehill was most familiar.

This was...the code used between the intelligence organization I used to belong to and the Saint.

Although they look like simple symbols, they can be used to express different things through simple arrangements and combinations.

Usually it's simple situations like time, place or people.

This time the symbol is a location.

It was just that the Saint noticed them and wanted to... leave some clues!

But.......

Looking at the symbol in front of her, Precier hesitated.

If she told Clotia the meaning of the symbol, or even went to that place with Clotia.

There is no doubt that there is a high probability that there is a chance to save the saint.

But that is why...

If he did nothing, or even just lied about it, the saint would most likely die.

But the death and disappearance of the saint are almost beneficial to the Kingdom of Grullit.

On the contrary, saving the saint would most likely change the completely one-sided battle situation.

Should he betray again and choose Dawn Kingdom again, or...

Because of nervousness, Presil swallowed subconsciously.
