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

This was also the experiment he wanted to do.

If two or more people soak in the dragon blood pool together, will the power of the dragon blood pool be diluted, resulting in...

The improvement each person received was only half of the original amount or even less.

Although it's just a small experiment, it's also to prevent other people from making mistakes when soaking in the water in the future.

After all, the effect of the Dragon Blood Pool can only take effect once.

That is to say, everyone only has one chance.

So.......

Among those around Chenxing, the one with the lowest loyalty and the most suitable person for this experiment is naturally Clotia in front of him.

If it weren't for that saint, the other party probably wouldn't have joined his side at all.

Even though there is a contract, Chenxing still has some distance towards her.

That is to say...the kind of distrust that is different from that towards others, only towards Clotia.

To be precise, it is incomplete trust.

It would be a bit of a waste to just randomly pick someone, and I’m not a philanthropist.

After much consideration, only Clotia is the most suitable one.

It was Chenxing's thought, so Clotia naturally didn't know.

Hearing Chenxing's words, Clotia also opened her eyes wide.

His Highness said...

Let yourself and the saint... soak in the dragon blood pool?

Although I have never known what the function of this so-called dragon blood pool is.

even.......

Other people in the Kingdom of Grullit, at least those around His Highness, are not willing to... "share" any confidential information with him.

Although I did choose to be loyal, this kind of loyalty...

Clotia could understand that no matter whether it was other people or His Highness, they were all... somewhat distant from her.

But think about it, I made this choice just for the Saint, how could she accept me?

only.......

Still a little uncomfortable.

It's like, even though I don't have any other thoughts in my mind, I'm still considered...

It was almost exactly the same as when he was framed by the fake saint.

But today, what His Highness just said...

"Your Highness means that I am with the Saint, not that I put the Saint...in?"

"Of course, together. What else?"

"But, but..."

Clotia's eyes were full of disbelief.

Even though she didn't know what effect this dragon blood pool had.

But since the curse on the saint that even the immortal cannot solve can be solved by soaking.

Then as long as you soak in this dragon blood pool, you will definitely... gain extraordinary benefits.

Clotia could clearly feel the power contained in the dragon blood pool.

I clearly... clearly...

why?

Why would you be willing to soak yourself with the saint?

Why would you be willing to let yourself, who is more like a slave than a subordinate, enjoy the benefits that should only be enjoyed by those around His Highness?

Chapter 18: No reward without merit

"But? Haven't you always hoped to become stronger? Now the opportunity... is right in front of you!"

Morning Star glanced at Clotia.

The other person's tangled eyes...

Chenxing thought that Clotia had noticed something.

but......

With Clotia's personality, if she were to use power as bait, she would probably be easily hooked, right?

After all, everything that happened in the Dawn Kingdom has already been deeply imprinted in the other party's heart.

Each time, the changes were due to lack of strength...

"Become stronger......"

Clotia's performance was indeed the same as Chenxing had guessed.

The look he gave towards the Dragon Blood Pool was full of hesitation.

And there is the unwillingness hidden beneath the hesitation!

If I weren't so weak, would I have noticed long ago that the Saint had been replaced?

A saint would not suffer such hardship.

The Dawn Kingdom will not...

And that time at Black Sand Castle, if it wasn't for His Highness's intervention...

Those innocent orcs have probably already become food for the void beasts.

It’s all because of…my own weakness.

Now with such an opportunity....His Highness's reward....

Even Clotia's heart was touched.

His Highness not only did not blame himself for thinking about the Saint while being in the Kingdom of Grullit, but was willing to...

Indeed, he is a wise ruler.

No wonder Presil followed His Highness so wholeheartedly, even going to various places in the Dawn Kingdom to persuade them to surrender.

Maybe it's really like what Prashant said.

The Kingdom of Dawn will only get better and better under the control of such a prince.

But looking back at myself, I still...care about these barriers, and care about...the past.

His Highness has given me so many chances.

But I actually still doubt that such a prince would have any improper thoughts about the saint and myself.

I am really...unforgivable.

Even if the saint survives, can it change the ending that the Dawn Kingdom no longer exists?

Moreover, as a subject and a soldier, now that I have sworn allegiance, am I worthy of His Highness' trust if I am still hesitant?

"Your Highness, I can..."

Clotia took a deep breath and made a decision.

Unlike the previous forced, this time......

If you were a saint, you wouldn't want to see yourself in this muddle-headed state, always dwelling on the past, right?

You can't go on like this, Clotia. Your Highness's gentleness can't be the reason for you to do this again and again!

The Kingdom of Dawn no longer exists, but its people are still alive and living on that familiar land.

It is even more appropriate and natural for me to continue to protect them.

Keep giving your all to this land!

"This request may be rude, but... Your Highness, please do something to me as... a punishment! Or... let me do something for you, anything is fine!!"

Clotia knelt in front of Morning Star with a determined look in her eyes.

Clotia couldn't continue to accept His Highness's rewards like this.

As a subordinate and as a soldier, you must take responsibility if you make a mistake.

What's more, one cannot receive reward without merit.

It even makes you feel...

I am so useless.

Obviously I can't do anything, but I still have the nerve to do it...

At least, do something for His Highness.

It can also be regarded as... expressing loyalty to His Highness!

Prove to my future colleagues that I have no second thoughts!

Having found her goal again, Clotia no longer seemed to have the previous gloom and confusion in her eyes.

Perhaps doing this... would be very unfair to the Saint.

But after the saint wakes up, I will apologize to her!

Clotia also believed that the saint would definitely forgive her given her character.

After all, this is also for...the people of Dawn Kingdom.

Well, for that land and the people on it!

"You don't have to be like this, Clotia. Didn't I promise you that I would save Maria? I am a man of my word."

Chenxing did not expect that Clotia would suddenly undergo such a transformation.

It's just a dragon blood pool...

Not that exciting, right?

For Chenxing, a time traveler, the Dragon Blood Pool is actually just the first step.

What he really values ​​is the power of the various bloodlines in the Tyrant Shop.

The Dragon Blood Pool can only play a supporting role.

Even if the orcs don't have a dragon blood pool here, he naturally has other ways to replace it.

but.......

Chenxing glanced at Maria beside him.

Maybe it’s because of this saint.

“Brainwashing” is really harmful!

If I had known that this saint was so useful, I would not have left Ophelia to Lilith.

"No! It's not just about the Saint, I just..."

"Okay, Clotia, let's soak in the dragon blood pool first. Other things... maybe we can talk about them after this."

Chenxing waved his hand and didn't want to continue this topic.

After all, I am still waiting to unlock the power of angels and demons at the same time.

not to mention.......

I still have many questions to ask this saint.

There's something about the mastermind that even the game doesn't mention much about.

The other party definitely knows about it!
