Ark, they don't revolve around you

Royal Club.

The fireplace was burning red, and there were luxurious paintings on the walls, of astonishing value.

It was quiet except for the sound of the old gentleman flipping through his newspaper.

As the most upscale club, talking is not allowed here. All communication is done with gestures. Even reminding the waiter is done by coughing or ringing a bell.

In Morgan's opinion, he was simply insane, or rather, the nobleman of Londinium was somewhat insane.

But she couldn't get angry, so she went into the private room. When she saw her two compatriots practicing fencing, she couldn't help but complain out loud.

"Next time, try a different place, at least not coming to the club, Dagda?"

"You should come here more often. The nobles of Londinium always play cards here." Dagda shook her head. She was dressed in formal clothes, but she didn't like this club very much.

"Let's not talk about the club's problems. The key is the doctor, right?" said Filin, who has short light blue hair with drooping bangs that cover one eye.

That's Daphne.

The few people here are undoubtedly Vina's core team, supporting her "Glasgow" in Londinium.

Morgan is the think tank, Dagda is the knight of the tower, and Daphion, as the daughter of the Duke, is the confidence of Vina after she ascends to the throne.

Morgan rubbed his fingertips, as if just saying the words took all his energy: "Doctor, kill Indra."

This made Daphne and Dagda open their mouths in surprise: "Really?"

"No doubt about it." Morgan's eyes were gloomy. "You know the relationship between His Majesty and the Doctor. This incident has a great impact on His Majesty."

"The Steam Knight was defeated, Sir White Wolf died... We finally won." Dagda bit his lip.

In contrast, Daphne was calmer: "What do you think?"

"Dagda, activate the city defense artillery and put the whole city on martial law. Daphne, the sword guards should still listen to you. I will let the gray hats spread out and try to find out as much information as possible."

Morgan pretended to be strong, "In short, we can't let the doctor succeed so easily."

"You want to attack the Doctor?"

"We have no choice, Dagda, Daphion, it's either you or me." Morgan shook his head. "If Vina can't do it, then I have to do it... I may die, but I won't give up Londinium."

Her eyes were bright, as if burning with flames.

Until a hand gently patted her shoulder, and the owner of the voice concealed endless resentment: "Why bother, Morgan?"

Morgan stiffened instantly, a chill running down her spine, she turned her head stiffly and saw a dark shadow.

The man was dressed in a black suit, holding a silver-studded cane and wearing a half-top hat. He seemed to have been in the corner for a long time before finally speaking.

It was only then that he drew attention to his presence.

That's the doctor.

Zhuang Ning glanced at Morgan quietly, picked up the snack and put it to his mouth, muttering, "Are you already planning how to kill me? I thought we had the most basic friendship."

The pressure was like a block of iron hitting my shoulders, and the hall fell silent.

Morgan tried to touch the door behind him, but it felt as hard as iron and he couldn't move it at all.

"The curse has hardened it, so you can't get out." Zhuang Ning raised his lips calmly, "Don't be so distant. I've already killed one person today, so at least I won't kill the second one right away."

"I'm not a murderer, and killing people doesn't bring me pleasure. As for Indra... Hannah, well, I'm sorry."

He sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and picked up the newspaper.

[The devil is approaching. Who is creating dark clouds over Londinium? ]

"That's a bit too much. What do you mean by creating dark clouds?" Zhuang Ning complained. Seeing that a few people were still standing, he waved them warmly, "Why are you all standing? Sit down. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Morgan bit his lip hard, pulled himself together, and sat down nervously.

"I'm revisiting my old place. I was too busy before and didn't have time to take a good look at Terra. Now I have the leisure time." Zhuang Ning put down the newspaper and talked freely.

"Revisiting the old place?"

"I went to the slums first, and I met Indra who was out of the underworld boxing scene." Zhuang Ning said calmly, "She attacked me, and I killed her. Because it was annoying, I sent her head to you, Morgan... This happened this morning."

"Yes."

"But to be fair, there's no need for me to kill her because she's in the way..."

He placed his hand on Morgan's shoulder again, "Do you want to be the second person to get in the way?"

Morgan shuddered.

Her thoughts seemed to freeze and she could only feel the cold wind.

Two years.

What happened to this person in the past two years? Why did he become like this...

Morgan's throat was dry and she was extremely anxious. She told herself that she had to say something.

She had always been proud of her intelligence, but now it couldn't function. Her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't utter a word.

Zhuang Ning seemed to be bored. He snapped his fingers, and the heavy pressure in the room dissipated a little.

Morgan gasped for air, faster than she could, and Dagda roared.

"Doctor, what exactly do you want to do?"

Dagda was born in Manchester, the last Knight of the Tower.

She has always adhered to the requirements of a knight and regarded Vina as her lord.

A knight is a sword, slashing at anything he can reach, even if that person was once her guide.

"Dagda, I didn't allow you to speak." Zhuang Ning looked at him.

Dagda resisted: "I am Lord Manchester, I only obey the Queen's orders!"

"well said."

Zhuang Ning sighed, "Do you know why I came here on purpose?"

"..."

"Because I wanted to see if Londinium had changed, but there wasn't any... Dagda, people like you who are obsessed with the title have no self-awareness."

Morgan felt the tide of emotions rising from Zhuang Ning.

For him, crushing these people to death was no different from crushing ants.

But he still looked around calmly, bowed his head, and had a compassionate look.

It's like mourning.

Mourning? But would one mourn for a squashed insect?

Morgan quickly stepped forward, held down Dagda's hand as she was about to make an attack.

Unlike Indra, nothing is more important to Morgan than staying alive.

"Well done, Morgan. It's because of your character that I'm willing to talk to you." Zhuang Ning smiled. "As for your statement about wanting to kill me, I can take it as a joke."

"The situation is set. Soon, there will be a storm in Londinium, and this storm will affect the entire land."

"You are an excellent administrator, and I hope you will be loyal to me."

"you?"

Morgan almost laughed.

Loyalty? If it is a former doctor, it is not a bad idea, but.

But now you have killed Indra with your own hands, what can you ask me to pledge my loyalty to?

"Because if you don't pledge allegiance, I will kill you." Zhuang Ning said calmly, "Don't get me wrong, I don't need you."

Morgan's face changed rapidly.

Unable to fight, unable to escape, she is the fish on the chopping board, and Zhuang Ning is the owner of the knife.

So, should we do it?

Now, here?

She lowered her eyelids: "You want me to betray His Majesty?"

"Of course." Zhuang Ning smiled, "A loyal minister should not serve two masters."

He acted as relaxed as possible and rang the bell, and a waiter came forward and brought them new snacks and tea.

It was getting dark.

After thinking for a long time, Morgan let go of Dagda's hand, and slowly walked to Zhuang Ning under the latter's shocked gaze.

"I seem to have no choice." Morgan knelt on one knee, "I can offer my loyalty to you, what do you need me to answer for you?"

Yes.

She knew the Doctor and had seen what this man was capable of.

In Londinium, Morgan watched with his own eyes how Zhuang Ning trained Vina to become a king.

He appears kind on the surface, but his heart has long been stained black.

So Morgan was not surprised and made himself bow down.

But her action hurt Dagda, causing the Tower Knight to yell, "Morgan, have you forgotten that you are here to discuss how to eliminate the Doctor?"

Morgan ignored him, but Zhuang Ning stood up and looked down at him.

"You can kill me, but I will not surrender," Dagda roared.

Zhuang Ning sighed: "Okay."

In his hand, there was condensed source stone, which was burned by the fierce fire, impurities were removed, and it was broken into shape.

He raised the sword and was about to swing it down.

But it froze in the middle.

Zhuang Ning turned his head silently, and saw Morgan gritting his teeth with a ferocious face, stabbing his heart with a dagger!

This is a double act.

Dagda and Morgan worked in perfect harmony, without even needing to communicate.

The strong are often arrogant, and what Morgan wants to seize is this moment of arrogance.

There is only one chance. Use this poisoned dagger to completely kill the doctor who taught you this truth!

Then, Morgan heard a crisp sound.

The voice was so blunt that Morgan was stunned and withdrew his hand.

The dagger was broken by Zhuang Ning, and the blade embedded in Zhuang Ning's body melted in the flames.

The hand covered in flames grabbed Morgan's throat, and his voice contained regret:

"I am disappointed."

"Morgan, you, like Indra, are only loyal to Veena."

"I rarely ask others for anything, but you are a special case. You betrayed me in the end..."

"Put her down!" Dagda roared and was about to punch.

But before that, a sword pierced like lightning and sank into Dagda's lungs.

Delphine, who remained silent in the corner, held his sword and sighed softly: "Sorry, Dagda."

Dagda was in disbelief, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Daphne is the newly crowned Duke of Windermere. During the Londinium Incident, her mother was almost the only loyal subject among all the dukes!

But now, as the Grand Duke of Windermere, Daphion betrayed him and stabbed his own people with a knife without mercy!

Not only Dagda, Morgan also widened his eyes and whispered in pain: "Daifen, you..."

"Sorry." Daphne pursed his lips, "It's all for Victoria."
