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

Should we condemn everyone just because most people did something wrong?

"Maybe...something happened to the Cat Tail Tribe that we don't know about? I think...Morning Star is not that kind of person!"

Lilina didn't know what was wrong with her.

Especially when I hear Melodie say this kind of thing, I always subconsciously want to refute it.

I want to prove something for Morning Star.

Did Chenxing really do anything wrong?

If you put yourself in the king's shoes and think about it, if you were the king and faced those forks in the road, most of your choices would be the same as his, right?

Just like Lilina herself, for the sake of the Holy Kingdom and her loved ones, hasn't she joined wars again and again?

"Then why did he release Michael?"

Melody sighed.

Trying to create and occupy a demonic church is indeed a heinous crime.

But is it right to just release the Devil's Morning Star directly?

"But he also said that Michael might not be a bad person."

"As for demons, do you think there are good demons? Have you... seen a good demon?"

"Aren't you?"

"Me? Hehehe..."

Hearing Lilina's answer, Melody smiled.

But this smile looks so... sad.

Am I really...kind?

If it is true, why was it me who first opened the gate to the starry sky, why was it me who started the war between demons and angels, why was it me who killed my friends one after another...?

"I'm not as kind as you think. I just... have no other choice. But you are different. Morning Star is not the only choice for you. You can also... Never mind. Just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Melody shook her head.

How could she not see the look in Lilina's eyes?

That look was just like the one Isolde once gave Chiba Kyohei.

When a person is addicted, if he can really wake up, Isolde will not...

After all, it was me who harmed everyone.

If I hadn't appeared, Chiba Kyohei wouldn't have walked on that road, and wouldn't have met Isolde, and all the things that happened afterwards wouldn't have happened.

Even if I had never opened the door to the starry sky...

"Is it really wrong to choose Morning Star?"

Lilina looked up at the sky.

Maybe it's true, as Melody said, she has other options.

But she still chose Morningstar.

Maybe Lilina didn't realize that she had already been deeply influenced by Morning Star without realizing it?

Everything the other person says and does, everything they do...it's really hard to "clear" from your mind.

But at least, Morning Star did give her hope.

It’s not just a hope for yourself!

Otherwise, why should I envy Agnes? Just because her life is freer than mine?

Not!

What she envied was that Agnes could have what she wanted, and could choose and walk on a path that she believed was right.

And you are not alone on this road.

It turns out that what I wanted was just trust, mutual trust.

Just like at this moment, Morningstar would let himself and Melody act together.

Instead of being used like the Church and the Holy Empire!

Lilina wanted to live, not as the current Judge of the Holy Temple, but just as herself, just as Lilina.

She had not been able to do it before, nor could she have done it.

But Agnes, who should have been unable to do it, did it because of Morning Star!

Because Lilina could see that in Morningstar's eyes, Agnes was never the so-called red-haired devil, nor was she a terrifying force that could be exploited.

In Morningstar's eyes, Agnes was just...Agnes.

A woman who loves him and is loved by him.

"I heard from Morningstar that Isolde never loved the First Templar Inquisition. Do you...know that?"

Melody was visibly stunned when she heard Lilina's question.

"When did he...say that?"

Chapter 34: Contradictory Melody

"You...don't know?"

Lilina was also stunned.

Chenxing did not hide anything from her about Isolde and Chiba Kyohei.

This also made Lilina subconsciously believe that the people around Morning Star, even those like Melody who had not yet completely "surrendered", also knew about it.

But right now...the situation is obviously different from what Lilina thought.

"Morning Star told you? When? What did he say?"

Listening to Lilina's words, Melody's eyes were filled with tension and anxiety.

Why... did Morning Star say that Isolde never loved Chiba Kyohei?

Logically speaking, since Chenxing already has his own memories, there is no reason for him to say such things.

She saw with her own eyes whether Isolde fell in love with Chiba Kyohei!

Unless, Morningstar and Lilina are trying to deceive me together?

But he noticed the look in Lilina's eyes, it didn't look like she was taking advantage of or deceiving him.

Given Lilina's personality, she would never do such a thing easily, even if it was an order from Morning Star.

Or is it that Morningstar is unilaterally exploiting Lilina?

Melody couldn't figure it out. The most important reason was...

She had complete faith in Isolde.

After all, in her opinion, it was she who killed the other person, and it was also she who made this relationship, which should have been beautiful, finally turn into nothing.

Guilt and self-blame drive Melody not to, and dare not, doubt the past.

not to mention......

Is Isolde using Chiba Kyohei? There is no evidence at all, right?

In the end, it was Isolde who died, and the one who was being used was the one who was alive and well?

Or... does Isolde have other purposes?

Of course, Lilina was also confused.

Even at this moment, she was a little unsure whether she should explain everything to Melody.

If this gets out, what if it affects Morning Star's plans?

But if he didn't say it, Morning Star never had any intention of hiding this matter. Maybe... Morning Star just wanted to tell Melody the truth about this matter.

Lilina wasn't sure, because if she took a wrong step, she might really drift further and further away from Morning Star.

"I......"

Lilina opened her mouth but still couldn't tell the details of the matter.

Melody naturally noticed her performance.

"I understand. I don't blame you. After all, you have to consider yourself, but at least...can you tell me that these words were told to you by Morning Star himself?"

Regardless of whether this was intentional by Morningstar.

She had to figure out everything about her own past as well as the past of Isolde and Chiba Kyohei.

Even if you can only find a little clue, it is better than knowing nothing at all!

The regrets of the past made Melody dare not miss any potentially useful clues.

Because she understands better than anyone that some things, even if just one wrong step, a seemingly insignificant step, is enough to overturn the entire world!

It was like if I had known Michael's situation earlier, if I had seen through the tragedy of the dragon clan earlier...

"Indeed...Morning Star told me personally, just before we set out. Sorry, I didn't know either..."

Lilina's eyes were also full of apology.

She could understand that this matter seemed extremely important to Melody.

Even she herself was a little curious.

Why did Isolde...never love Chiba Kyohei?

Could it be that this "story" that has been praised for thousands of years, this history from thousands of years ago, is false?

The story of a princess falling in love with a brave man is the dream of many young girls who are just beginning to fall in love.

But now suddenly someone said that the princess might not be a princess anymore, and the brave man turned into the dragon.

Such truth...

It's hard to be convincing.

But for some reason, Lilina believed it.

It’s not because these words came out of Morning Star’s mouth, but because of the look in Morning Star’s eyes when he said these words.

"No need to say sorry, I should thank you, maybe..."

Melody looked towards the center of Blood Moon Island with an unnatural expression.

I wanted to say, "Maybe what Chenxing said is true?" but I couldn't say it out loud.

Whether it was intuition or all these clues, they seemed to remind her that Chenxing was not lying.

But with the truth right before our eyes, who would believe it is true?

"Let's...complete the plan first. At least you can't resist now. I also...chose Morning Star. We have to complete this plan no matter what, right?"

Lilina did not continue the previous topic.

The most important thing right now is to prevent the church’s plan from succeeding.

Perhaps according to Morning Star, releasing Michael was not a good thing.

But it is certainly better than having this power controlled by the church.

Lilina understands the dark side of the church better than anyone.

Only by experiencing it personally can you understand the desperate and suffocating dark side!

"I understand, but thank you for being willing to communicate with me, a sinner like me!"

Melody smiled.

It had been a long time since she had been able to communicate normally with others in the same capacity as she did now.

There aren't so many grudges, just something to talk to each other.
