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

But at this moment, the Holy Kingdom suddenly withdrew from the battlefield and stopped fighting for the time being.

This was clearly a good opportunity to press on with the victory, or even to send a large force directly to the island, but they just gave it up!

It's almost like... they're intentionally giving Blood Moon Island a chance to catch its breath.

It's hard not to be suspicious.

Even the Scarlet Prince's eyes were filled with confusion and sorrow at this moment.

If the Holy Empire continues to fight, it won't be a big deal.

Even if they could really come to the island, the Scarlet Prince had already prepared for a fight to the death.

That was a back-up plan that even the Holy Empire was unaware of, and it was a last resort that must never be used. It was a last resort that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt one's own eight hundred.

But at this moment...

The Scarlet Prince did not doubt that the Holy Empire had obtained information about him.

What he was worried about was that the real purpose of the Holy Kingdom...or more precisely, the real purpose of Asfield, who was currently leading the troops, was not Blood Moon Island from the beginning.

This crazy suicide attack alone is already very wrong, and now with this sudden truce...

"I understand. Tell the people below not to let their guard down. The Holy Empire's troops may come back at any time. I have a feeling..."

The Scarlet Prince looked at the blood-red sea outside the window.

Although the sea here has begun to become increasingly red since the demonic power cursed this area.

It's like this island...is bleeding.

But at this moment, there was more human blood in the sea water.

Be it lizard people or humans.

They are all living lives, dyeing the nearby sea water red.

This makes this already extremely depressing sea area even more terrifying.

This atmosphere is like a sign of impending storm.

Everything seemed normal yet extremely strange, reminding the Scarlet Prince that something big was really going to happen.

"I see. Besides...Melody is here again. This time..."

The lizard man said this with a somewhat conflicted expression.

Logically speaking, no matter from his former identity as an orc or his current identity as an "orc traitor", he would never allow humans to get close to him.

Not to mention that they are currently engaged in a head-on battle with humanity's most powerful kingdom.

But this time, Melodie not only came again, but also brought three humans with her.

Especially the only male among them, who inexplicably gave them a sense of fear...derived from biological instinct.

"what happened?"

The Scarlet Prince was also slightly stunned.

Logically speaking, given Melodie's personality, she would never risk coming here if it wasn't something really urgent, since people from the Holy Empire were nearby.

No matter what, she openly represents the Adventurer's Guild.

Melodie's sudden appearance, once noticed by the people of the Holy Kingdom, it will be difficult for the Adventurer's Guild to carry out its affairs within the Holy Kingdom.

This will naturally affect some of Melody's own "actions".

And what I wanted to say, Melody had already made it very clear last time.

She is not the type to chatter.

Unless this time...

"Master Melody also brought... three humans this time, two women and one man. The strength of these three people is definitely not simple. At least I really can't see through them at all, especially the man..."

"Two women and one man? Is this what you chose, Advent One?"

The Scarlet Prince murmured something and shook his head helplessly, and naturally guessed something.

Although this was indeed within his expectations.

only......

This woman who once brought hope to all races ultimately chose to go her own way.

I still chose the prophecy that was already vague.

If everything in this world could really be predicted in just a few words, would there still be so many surprises in this world? Would there still be so many...wars?

There is no such thing as destiny!

"Let them in. Also... don't let anyone else know. As for those who already know..."

"Sir Scarlet Prince! Just because of a few humans..."

"But what if this human man is the now-famous tyrant, the King of the Kingdom of Grullit, Grullit Morningstar?"

The Scarlet Prince's words directly blocked the lizard man's words.

Gruulite Morningstar!

This name might have been described as completely unfamiliar a year or two ago.

Even if they knew something about it, no one would think that the other party would become the biggest threat in the eyes of all forces!

But the truth always brings people all kinds of surprises.

The least favored Gruolith Morningstar, leading the least favored Gruolith Kingdom, has now become the "giant" second only to the Holy Kingdom.

and......

Don’t forget that there is still someone in the Grulith Kingdom whose strength is equal to or may even surpass that of the current Trial Templar!

Red-haired demon! Agnes!

No one wants to encounter that blood-red figure on the field, not even the Holy Empire’s troops!

"Don't be nervous. Just think of it as a test before you take over from me. Sooner or later, you will take my position, sooner or later..."

The Scarlet Prince patted the other's shoulder and explained with a smile.

His eyes seemed to have softened a lot.

But the moment the lizard man left, those originally gentle eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

After all, he said that anyone who knew about this would not be able to survive!

Chapter 14 If I were Agnes

Although Blood Moon Island can be considered a country in a sense, the building in front of us cannot be considered a palace at all.

To something more like...a small town mayor's private residence?

However, it can be seen that the situation on Blood Moon Island has not been very good.

If it weren't for the geographical advantage and the unique demonic power on this island, it would have been a pipe dream to hold out for so long in the hands of the Holy Kingdom!

Morningstar shook his head.

These lizardmen are no different than those in the original game.

Even if the Scarlet Prince has great abilities, as long as he has not reached the level of a god, there will be no hope for this war.

Even though the eldest prince of the Holy Kingdom had been fighting this war with the intention of maximizing casualties from the beginning to the end.

When the gap in power is too great, no conspiracy or trickery can fill that gap.

No wonder in the original game, the lizardmen on Blood Moon Island followed their "new king" in the end, almost abandoning their physical bodies, and hid in the "dreamland" where only demons could exist.

Not only Morning Star, Lilina could also see the difference in strength between the Lizardmen and the Holy Kingdom.

This also further proves that Asfield is indeed planning something.

Even if the Blood Moon Island had its own trump cards and would not be taken down so easily, the casualty ratio would definitely not have reached the current level of ten to one.

Thinking of those soldiers who died on the battlefield without even knowing it, Lilina clenched her fists.

They may not know that even death has become a "prop" to be used.

From the very beginning, they were not fighting to defend the Holy Empire.

You will never know the truth until you die...

Does Lilina love the Holy Kingdom?

The answer is of course yes.

Even though her childhood in the Holy Empire was enough to be called a nightmare, and even though she had witnessed the true dark side of the Holy Empire with her own eyes.

But Lilina always felt that it was not the Holy Kingdom that caused all this, but the church that had been exploiting this kingdom and the people in the kingdom to achieve its own goals!

Originally, Lilina thought that as long as there was a way to overthrow the church and free the Holy Empire from the church's control, everything would change.

Even if we can't completely realize the hope in our dreams, things will definitely get better and better.

But it turned out that Lilina was still too young.

Because from the very beginning, the church had no intention of leaving this country any chance.

The fact that Asfield, one of the crown princes, was a tool of the church was enough to prove all this.

Once Asfield succeeds in taking power, the Holy Empire will probably... never have a chance to turn things around.

Thinking of this, Lilina subconsciously looked at Morning Star beside her.

The other party probably thought of this a long time ago.

Otherwise, how could he possibly contact Prince Helius, who was supposed to be his enemy?

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit terrifying.

But think about it in another way. Such a Morning Star...may really be able to change the current situation.

Just like he did change things in the Grullite Kingdom.

Of course, the red-haired demon god who was supposed to be equal to her also changed at the same time.

Then can I also be here with the other person...

It seemed that Innessa had really predicted it right. In the end, the only one who would help her, was willing to help her, and had the ability to help her was Grullit Morningstar!

Perhaps because she has been influenced by Morning Star during this period of time, Lilina's eyes have changed when she looks at Morning Star.

From curiosity at the beginning, to confusion and dissatisfaction, and now to...trust and admiration.

Looking back, Lilina even began to feel that her current self was so unfamiliar.

Or maybe... my current self is the real me, who has been wrapped in the cursed armor and the name of "Judgement of the Temple"?

"Why? Miss Lilina... have other ideas?"

Although he never looked at Lilina from beginning to end, Chenxing could still feel her gaze.

This is not the first time.

On the way here, the other party would always steal a glance at me from time to time.

Once they realize that they have looked over there, they will quickly turn their eyes away like a kitten to avoid direct eye contact.

It’s just that cats don’t want to look each other in the eye because looking each other in the eye represents hostility and provocation.

But for Lilina, it seems to be a different situation.

Chenxing had seen this kind of behavior and had also felt it in other people.

For example...

Los, who had just been brought back to the palace, and the current "little fat dragon".

"What can I think? I'm just wondering... if we just come to Blood Moon Island like this, will these lizardmen really be willing to treat us kindly?"

Lilina wouldn't panic like some little girls.
