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

Ye Yue yelled excitedly, and her humiliation and anger levels began to rise.

Even Honkai rose by two points.

If I had known that doing this would have such a miraculous effect, I would have done something more to Agnes in front of Ye Yue.

However, seeing that Love's Laboratory was still not loaded, I gave up the idea.

What's more, Agnes was never a tool to him.

Even if doing so could quickly take down the troublemaker Ye Yue, he was unwilling to do so.

Of course, if it was Agnes who took the initiative, that would be a different story.

"She didn't refuse, so what are you doing? After all, to Agnes, you are just a traitor, right?"

The words that Chen Xing blurted out obviously startled Ye Yue.

No matter how much unwillingness there was in his eyes, he could only sit on the ground dejectedly, biting his lips in self-blame.

"Or... you can join as well and continue to be Agnes's adjutant. Wouldn't it be nice to be with her every day?"

Chenxing said something tentatively, but did not get any response from Ye Yue.

I took a look at the compliance value and there was no change.

Come to think of it, only a fool would accept such a simple and crude approach.

"Join? Commit violence for you? Kill innocent people everywhere?"

Ye Yue snorted coldly, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Chen Xing was still filled with hatred.

"You still don't understand. Do you think...even if I didn't start a war and target those Abyss Warlocks, none of this would have happened?"

Morningstar smiled and shook his head.

After all, Ye Yue is too young.

War is an inevitability in world history.

Even God hopes to harvest more souls and hopes for more wars. How good can this world be?

Ye Yue did not continue to answer.

It's not because she doesn't want to answer, but...

When it comes to this topic that was discussed last time, she doesn't know how to answer.

Without Morning Star, can this kingdom really be at peace?

These days, Ye Yue has also been thinking about this problem.

Even she was a little...confused.

If there had been no Morning Star, would there have been fewer wars?

But even if she is confused, Ye Yue will never forget Chen Xing's crimes!

Those who died died because of the war instigated by Morning Star, there is absolutely no doubt about that!

"Forget it. Who can help me to be so kind? Seeing that you are so lonely, I specially asked your superior to come and chat with you to relieve your boredom."

Chenxing spread his hands and did not continue.

He understood that making someone like Ye Yue obedient was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Being impatient at this time will only have a counterproductive effect.

and......

Who said that if Ye Yue is not obedient, we can't use her to deal with the rebels?

Morning Star patted Agnes on the shoulder, turned around and left.

When the day comes when the rebels are defeated, Ye Yue’s expression will definitely be...very good-looking.

With Morning Star's departure, the prison fell into silence again.

Facing Agnes, her former savior, she felt so guilty that she didn't know what to say, and she didn't dare to face her directly.

Just like Chenxing said, no matter what, her act of betrayal is a fact.

Even if you use so-called righteousness as an excuse, betrayal is still betrayal.

"His Highness has ordered that your death sentence will be carried out in the square in three days."

Agnes spoke first, giving a gentle reminder.

The voice was still the same as always...no emotion could be heard.

After hearing this, Ye Yue still remained silent.

She had already thought that death would come sooner or later.

Maybe the tyrant doesn't have the patience to continue wasting time with me?

But this is not bad, at least I can finally... be free.

As for the tyrant, he can only be left to his companions.

Until Agnes spoke again...

"The executioner...is me."

These words made Ye Yue raise her head instantly, and the guilt in her eyes became even stronger when she looked at Agnes.

That tyrant...

Is it such a bad taste?

Let the general personally...

Chapter 45: One Step to Heaven, One Step to Hell

"I......"

Ye Yue slowly opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

How should she start? How should she say it?

I am about to die at the hands of this benefactor, mentor and even best friend.

However, the other party still believed that what he did was right, and thus became the tyrant's...executioner.

"sorry......."

Thousands of words came to my lips, but only these three words remained.

She could only say these three words, even though the general might not understand the meaning of "sorry".

However, this apology did not get the response that Ye Yue had imagined.

On the contrary...

"Shh..."

Agnes made a gesture to keep quiet, and at the same time, she slowly stretched out her other hand, and the wave of magic spread out instantly.

It seemed as if a special barrier suddenly opened up, covering only the area surrounding the cell.

Noticing this, Ye Yue also raised her head in surprise.

The General did this...

"You once said that His Highness...has pledged allegiance to an evil being, right?"

Agnes' words also made Ye Yue stunned.

Looking at Agnes's eyes that remained calm, Ye Yue wanted to find something strange in them.

Even though the general had imagined the scene of her being willing to believe it countless times, she found it hard to believe this time.

Even though this was her only chance of survival now, she would not forget that the tyrant definitely hoped to get news about the rebels from her.

The more the situation was like this, the calmer Ye Yue became.

Although she really hoped that this was true, she had no choice but to trust the general, whom she once trusted the most, at this moment.

"I know what you are afraid of. You are worried that His Highness sent me to trap you. It is normal for you to be on guard... No, I should say... If you were not so alert, I would think you were too... incompetent!"

Agnes' words remained the same as always.

Even Ye Yue, who had been by her side for a long time, found it difficult to tell whether Agnes' words were true or false.

"General, you want to..."

"You don't need to address me like that. Haven't you already chosen to be loyal to the resistance? A subject cannot serve two masters!"

Agnes' words, as well as her tone of still believing in Chenxing, also made Ye Yue less vigilant.

You're not here to get some information? Then what's the purpose?

If it was just his own head being chopped off, given the General's personality, he would never say a word, let alone ask the kind of question he just asked.

"No matter what, you will always be my General, even if I say this in my current state..."

Ye Yue looked at the handcuffs and leg irons on her body and smiled self-deprecatingly.

She also wanted to stay by the General's side, but for the sake of the people of the Grullite Kingdom, she couldn't, she couldn't do it for her own selfish interests...

"Tomorrow...I won't kill you."

Agnes ignored Ye Yue's words and just spoke her own words.

But these words made Ye Yue's eyes flash.

Not killing myself? This is not something a general would say, right?

In the end...

"But it doesn't mean I won't kill you later. At least... I want to know whether His Highness is really... really like you said!"

"General, you want me to help you..."

Ye Yue frowned, and for a moment she was unsure whether this was Agnes's own idea.

If not, given the general's personality, this kind of acting would be very awkward, right?

But if the general suddenly became suspicious of the tyrant at this time...

Did something happen outside?

The life in the cell these days made it impossible for her to get any information about the outside world.

This cell was almost tailor-made for her, there wasn't even a jailer.

The tyrant's guards took care of the daily meals, and it was difficult for her to get any words out of the girl.

not enough......

Right before she was imprisoned, it seemed like the elves were arriving.

Could it be that the tyrant had some conflict with the elves, and was exposed and captured by the general?

"Given your character, you should not do anything that would betray your country for personal gain. However, this time you took the initiative to show goodwill to the elves and even personally presented the results of your research on the abyss..."

When Agnes said this, Ye Yue also reacted.

Is that really the case?

That tyrant wanted to win over the elves to complete his evil plan?

But the result was counterproductive and the general discovered something was wrong?

Even though Ye Yue was thinking in this direction, she still remained a little wary in her heart.

Although she felt bad for not believing the general's words, Ye Yue still understood that the overall situation should be taken seriously.

The point is...

I can't die here in vain. Even if this is a trap, I have to find a way to get some useful information to pass on to my companions.

At least one thing is certain.

Judging from the tyrant's methods, he definitely wants to use his death sentence to capture more rebels.
