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

"Indeed, from the elves' perspective, they did nothing wrong..."

Morning Star said softly, and this attitude made Melody feel a little relieved.

But until Chenxing showed that smile on his face again.

"But what does this have to do with me? In other words, whether the elves are dead or alive, whether they will perish, and whether the ancient elf tree can continue to exist, has nothing to do with me and the Kingdom of Grullit, right?"

"But even if you conquered the Elf Forest, obtained everything in the Elf Forest, and gained the power of the ancient Elf Tree, what would that mean? You can obtain the resources of the Elf Forest through other better and more peaceful means, right? Would destroying the elves and the Elf Forest bring you any benefit?"

Listening to Chenxing's words, Melody became nervous again.

She knew that Morning Star had actually been eyeing the "piece of meat" of the Elf Forest for a long time.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a piece of fat meat as the Forest of Elves?

But the question is, how will Morning Star treat the elves, especially after knowing the truth.

Would a "tyrant" who would so directly massacre an entire cat-tail tribe really be willing to let the elves go, let alone the elves who once had the same origin as the void beasts?

If humans were really willing to let the elves go so easily, Beatrice's mother would not be threatened by this matter and choose...

"That's right. Whether the Elf Forest is destroyed or not doesn't really mean much to me. What I care about more is the resources of the Elf Forest and the heart of the ancient elven tree. But... you still don't understand one thing, Melody."

Chenxing shook his head, his tone so contemptuous.

It was as if no matter whether it was an elf or a void beast, it made no difference to him.

Even if the elves in the Elf Forest were replaced with orcs, dwarves or even lizardmen, or even humans!

Will Morningstar's actions towards the Elf Forest change?

"Does it matter whether I want to destroy the elves or not, or whether the elves have done anything wrong?"

Chen Xing's words also made Melody completely silent.

People are always discussing what is right and what is wrong, even in this world.

Who wouldn't want to have a legitimate reason for their military campaign? Just like what the Holy Empire has always shown.

But in Morning Star's view, since it's all war and destruction, and since he has been regarded as a tyrant and an enemy, why should he care about these things?

Since one or two of them think that they are tyrants and have chosen to stand against me, saying one lofty and glorious word after another, I should just be straightforward.

Chen Xing knows that he is not a good person. It is precisely because he knows that he is not a good person that he does not need to restrain himself anymore.

If it were before, I would still consider the Holy Empire and worry about its problems.

But now...

Since the Holy Kingdom has no way to extricate itself from the war on Blood Moon Island, and the matter of the Dogtooth High Collar is just around the corner, why should he care about what methods he uses against the Forest of Elves?

"The outcome of the Elf Forest is not decided by me or the Kingdom of Grullit. It depends on the elves' own choices."

"You're just forcing them to choose!"

"Really? From the beginning to the end, I forced the elves, just like... am I forcing you now? Didn't you tell me this voluntarily?"

Chenxing held Melody's hand and carefully admired her fair palm and skin.

Both the smile and the look in his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"I am a very kind person. When others hope that I can show leniency, I will give them a chance, just like now... Do you think I should give you another chance, Melody?"

Hearing this, hesitation and struggle flashed in Melody's eyes.

The implication of Chenxing's words couldn't be more obvious.

The fate of the elves depends on the choices they make. In other words, if the elves choose the path of the cat-tailed tribe, Morningstar will send the elves on their way without hesitation.

But if she could get a chance, a chance to go to the Elf Forest and help the Elf Forest make a choice...

It is even possible that the Morning Star refers not only to the Forest of Elves, but also to other races and other countries.

Whether it is the current Houndstooth High Collar, the Kingdom of Rune where the dwarves are located, or the Holy Kingdom and Blood Moon Island that are currently at war!

The existence of these countries, the survival of races, and even the survival of innocent people all depend on...how Melody can make them make better choices.

But the price of this opportunity is...

"Whatever I can give you... haven't you already taken it?"

Melody almost gritted her teeth, still unsure whether she should take this step.

After all, as long as she takes this step, whether it is forward or backward, whether it is towards hope or towards the abyss.

Once you take this step, you will never have the chance to regret or change.

"Oh, it's okay. Don't worry. I have plenty of time. You have such a long and almost eternal life, so you also have a lot of time to think about it. Who made me so kind that I never force others to make a choice?"

Chenxing spread his hands.

That look made Melody feel for a moment that the other person was the real devil.

Obviously, he has complete control over himself and is fully capable of forcing himself to "make a choice".

But I have to...

I have to watch myself walk over little by little.

Watching myself falling into the abyss bit by bit, looking forward to... admiring my own expression full of guilt and regret.

Faced with this kind of treatment that played with her body and mind, Melody was unable to put up any resistance or struggle.

I can only watch everything happen and wait for it to happen!

Even if I can already guess what kind of situation is waiting for me in the future.

"Okay, now that I've finished talking to the teacher, it's time to go meet that student. I believe that compared to you, Ms. Melody, your student may be a little smarter..."

"What do you want to do to Beatrice? Didn't your men already say that Beatrice knows nothing?"

When Beatrice was mentioned, Melody really got nervous.

Facing such "torture", I naturally won't have any complaints.

In Melody's opinion, this was all punishment for everything she had done.

But Beatrice was innocent! He had promised Beatrice's mother that he would take good care of Beatrice and protect this...everything that was left of his friend.

But the means shown by Morningstar...

"Really? But I feel like she knows more than you, the teacher!"

"Morning Star!! What do you want? No matter what you say, you know I can only do what you say. Why do you have to make me make the choice myself? Isn't the result the same for you?"

This was the first time in all these years that Melody felt so broken.

Knowing that some "tragedy" will happen, you don't even have the right to close your eyes!

They even have to raise the "butcher knife" with their own hands and chop down the people they swore to protect and guard.

"If I force you, wouldn't that make me a bad person? I can't bear the title of a tyrant!"

Chenxing sneered, stood up and prepared to leave.

And where I would go after leaving the room had already been made clear to Melody.

This undoubtedly reminded Melody that she only had a short time to think.

The time it takes to walk from Morning Star to the door.

Maybe, just as Melody said, Morningstar can really control Melody just by giving orders.

But doing so, just this level of "punishment" is not enough to calm the king's anger.

Melody also knew that this situation was destined to happen from the moment she made the choice to stand against Morning Star.

She had no other choice but to accept it.

"I promise you! I will help others make better choices. I will find a way to make other countries and other races choose to surrender. Please..."

It was not until Chenxing put his hand on the door handle that Melody finally spoke, and even prostrated herself in front of Chenxing.

How high and mighty you were in the past, how humble you are now.

She also knew that what Chenxing wanted to see was nothing more than this kind of situation and this kind of scene.

"Well, it's not bad, but the posture is a little bit off. I still think your students can do better!"

Chapter 3000: Becoming the enemy of the whole world! (+)

"Morning Star!! You just said..."

Faced with Morning Star's response, Melody was undoubtedly even more devastated.

What the other party wants is that you take the initiative to do these things, to take the initiative to do things that are completely opposite to what you should do?

Now I have already agreed, and the other party has also promised that as long as I agree...

"What did I just say? Hazuki?"

Chenxing ignored Melody and instead asked Ye Yue beside him with a smile.

"You said you were considering whether to give Ms. Melody a chance and whether you would not force her to make a decision!"

"Oh, yes. You see, Ye Yue remembers it better than you do. I have already said that I will not force you to make a decision. Isn't this still me forcing you? And since it is a consideration... after careful consideration, I still think that your student is more suitable!"

After Chenxing finished speaking, he didn't give Melody any more chances and quickly left the room with Ye Yue.

Melody's repeated pleas were only met with the sound of the door closing and the almost heartless footsteps that were getting farther and farther away.

Looking at the closed door, Melody sat on the ground in a daze.

Maybe it was not until now that Melody realized that the other party was just playing tricks on her.

I just want to appreciate the desperate expression on my face.

Even at this point, even Melody was confused.

She just wanted to fulfill her promise, just wanted to protect everything, just wanted to make up for... the sins she had committed.

Why did everything evolve to this extent?

Melody looked at her hands in despair, even though it seemed that all this was because of Gruulite Morningstar.

But in her opinion, the ultimate cause of all this was herself.

If I hadn't hesitated...

No! If I could save Beatrice's mother, or even fulfill Isolde's wish that time, if I hadn't opened the door to the starry sky...

None of this will ever happen.

But no matter how much regret or guilt you feel, nothing can be changed.

What was supposed to happen has already happened.

Even things that shouldn't happen are about to happen.

And I, the real sinner who caused all this, could only watch it all with my own eyes and could do nothing.

Even Melodie himself suddenly had the idea of ​​ending it all.

If I just let myself become a walking corpse, a puppet in the hands of Morning Star, maybe I won't be able to endure or think about these things.

But as soon as this idea came to mind, it was completely cut off by Melody.

It's not the time to give up on yourself yet. Everything is not yet completely irreversible.

There must still be a chance, a chance to change all this...

Melody bit her lips and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.

She knew that she had to endure this pain.

At this point, the only one who can help yourself is yourself.

The other party just wants to see my despair, so I must... grit my teeth and hold on!

We will definitely find a way, a way to change everything!

Regarding the matter of Melody, Morning Star's purpose in doing this was certainly not just to vent his anger, nor was it simply to play a trick on the other party.
