Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 145 Rose: I survived again.

In fact, if possible, Rose Oliana didn't want to speak at this moment, but planned to continue to escape.

But unfortunately, her body was about to reach its limit. After all, she had spent the past few days in pursuit.

"President Rose, I'm Claire!" Claire spoke first.

"Claire, why are you here? Are you here to catch me too?" Rose Oliana poked her head out from a corner and asked.

"Catch you? How is that possible! I came here just to see you off." Claire shook her head and said.

"See you off? Are you willing to help me leave the capital?" Rose Oliana asked with a little surprise.

"Unfortunately, it's not. We just plan to end your miserable life, that's all!" Li De on the side said.

"You are Claire's younger brother, right? So, Duke Doem has changed his mind about taking me back, and is he planning to kill me?" Rose Oliana's tone was much lower at this moment.

"No, that Doem didn't change his mind. After all, you are valuable to him only when you are alive. Even if you are in the state of being possessed by a demon, he will not change his mind." Li De shook his head and denied it.

"So you are from the church?" Rose Oliana asked after a moment of stunned.

"Asking so many questions won't change anything, President Rose, just accept it." Claire answered.

"Accept what?!" Rose Oliana looked at Claire in surprise.

But the next second, she felt that her body could not move.

This is also natural. After all, this dark underground waterway is the most suitable environment for Claire's shadow ability to play.

As long as Claire's mind moves, she can restrain Rose Oliana's mobility by fixing her shadow.

"Don't struggle, President Rose, with your current strength, you can't break free." Claire was already beside Rose Oliana while speaking.

"Claire, you..." Rose Oliana hadn't finished speaking when she saw Claire condense a ball of magic power and then press it on her body.

Then a rather contradictory feeling appeared on her body.

Cold but unusually warm.

With this power, Rose found that her demon possessed state had disappeared.

But before she had time to be happy, her neck felt restrained, and a strong sense of suffocation followed.

"Why is this."

"It is necessary to treat it first. After all, if you don't treat it first, if you die and cause magic to run wild, it will cause a lot of noise." Claire gave an explanation at the end of Rose's life.

Seeing that Rose had no life span, Li De immediately exchanged for a replacement card.

But before using it, Claire suddenly sent a message to Li De through the power of the contract.

"Sid, can you be dominated by the will of President Rose after the replacement?" Claire looked at Li De and blinked.

"Why, sister." Li De looked at Claire who sent the message with some confusion.

"Sid, Elizabeth is ultimately controlled by New's consciousness, while Mary has always been just the maid of the Bloodthirsty Queen. Even though she is bound by the power of the contract, but..." Claire's thoughts were not continued here.

But Reed knew what Claire meant, that is, she was afraid that Mary would have second thoughts because Elizabeth was replaced.

After all, although the contract can control Mary's life and death, it is afraid of people who completely give up and don't care about life and death.

Obviously, Mary belongs to this type.

She didn't know about the replacement card before, but when she experienced it herself, it was inevitable that she would think too much.

This is the hidden danger that Claire wants to eliminate. Even if she knows that Rose has a problem with her personality, at least she has more concerns than Mary, and it is much easier to control.

As for Claire's reminder, Reed had never thought about it before.

But after experiencing the incident where Claire killed Alexia on her own initiative, Reed also understood that unless he made strict regulations in all aspects, he could not eliminate the possibility of someone taking advantage of the loophole.

So it seems that letting Mary's will take the lead is indeed risky, after all, Elizabeth cannot use the power of the contract to monitor her heart at any time.

But if Rose Oliana's will takes the lead, there will be no such hidden danger. At least she will not do anything harmful to her father or the kingdom.

Especially since Sid once saved her life, with her character, even if she knew that she was contracted, she would not do such a thing as repaying kindness with hatred.

Of course, no matter whose will takes the lead in this, it is not important to Reed. What is important is who has lower risks.

Since Mary has the potential risk of losing control, let Rose Oliana take the lead.

"Just listen to my sister." Reed responded immediately.

The next second, the replacement card turned into a stream of light and drilled into Rose Oliana's body after Reed used it.

As Rose Oliana's body turned into a stream of light and shot into Mary's body, the familiar magic fluctuations appeared again in Reed's perception.

Although it was not as strong as Elizabeth's at that time, this magical fluctuation was definitely correct. The blood of the two had indeed merged and returned to their ancestors.

After some operations, Li De immediately chose to take Rose Olyana's will as the dominant one.

When the fusion was completed, Rose immediately hugged her head.

After all, after reversing the order of priority, it was Rose's turn to inherit Mary's memory of a thousand years.

Even if Reed helped her delete 80% or 90% of this huge memory, it was equivalent to more than two complete life memories of other people.

So the mental burden of accepting this memory was not small.

After a while, Rose Auriana finally recovered.

"My Lord, thank you for giving me a new life. Please tell me what to do next." Rose knelt on one knee and bowed her head and asked.

"When Elizabeth arrives, you will go back to the embassy. Alexia will treat your father at that time." Reed said after thinking for a while.

"My Lord, how to deal with the people coming from the Kingdom of Auriana this time?" Rose continued to ask.

Doem must die, but the people who came this time were not only Doem and the guards, but also other nobles in the Kingdom of Auriana.

"If you and Elizabeth think it is necessary to leave a survivor, then the survivors must not know that Alexia has been there." Reed gave such an answer.

"Yes, my lord!" Rose replied immediately.

"There is another thing." Li De said again before turning around and leaving.

"My lord, please speak!" Rose continued.

"After your father recovers, you must go and get the key of [Black Rose] back. Don't let Mordred's people have the opportunity to take it away." Li De said.

"I understand, my lord. After taking the key, I will immediately give it to the master to seal it." Rose said immediately.

"You and Elizabeth can take it, but if you want to take it, don't wear it." Li De reminded.     "Yes, my lord." Rose replied immediately. Although she still had some doubts in her heart, she didn't ask.

After all, the identities of the two are completely different from before.

"These are for you!" Li De said and took out a set of items that were the same as those given to Alexia before.

Although Li De has not yet taken Rose into the room, it is only a matter of time.

Therefore, she will not lack what other women should have.

"Thank you, my Lord!" Rose continued.

"I'm never stingy with my own people! Finally, how do you plan to deal with your mother, Princess Reina?" Reed asked.

After all, if Mary's consciousness was dominant, Reed would not ask this question at all.

"My Lord, can I ask you to spare my mother's life?" Rose was silent for a while, but still plucked up the courage to ask Reed.

"Roz, don't push it." Claire warned in a low voice.

"It's okay, sister, as long as it doesn't affect the plan, we can discuss it. So if you insist, you can save her life." Reed said immediately.

"My Lord, I beg you." Rose immediately expressed her attitude.

"Okay, but the death penalty can be exempted, but the living crime cannot be escaped." Reed said immediately.

"Thank you, my Lord, no matter what kind of punishment, I can accept it." Rose's voice at this moment was full of gratitude.

"Then let's seal her in stone for a thousand years. I will let Beta go to the Kingdom of Oriana. If we don't kill her, we have to eliminate the slightest threat she may bring in the future. We can only let her accompany you and your father in the form of a stone sculpture." Li De thought for a while and said.

"My Lord." Rose paused after hearing Li De's verdict. After all, she didn't expect Li De to punish her sinful mother in this way.

But she was her mother after all. Even if she did too many things that she absolutely couldn't do, Rose couldn't bear to do it to her.

"Rose, there are some things that your father who loves you deeply may not care about for your sake, but as the ruler of a kingdom, you have to deal with the betrayers, otherwise where is the king's prestige?

The mistakes made by your mother are unforgivable. In some special countries, not to mention her, even her relatives will be killed. Since her life cannot be used to warn those guys with bad intentions, then use her body.

I think this curse of living a life worse than death should be more able to deter those evil-minded elements lurking in the dark. So you should know how to publicize it later, right?" Li De looked at Rose and asked.

"Yes! My Lord, I understand." Rose replied with tears in her eyes.

"Don't be so sad, what Sid said just now is just to teach you how to take advantage of this matter. The consciousness of those who are truly petrified by Beta will stay at the moment of being petrified. No matter how long it takes to remove the petrification, she will not feel the passage of time." Claire explained after seeing Rose's expression.

"Thank you for your mercy, Lord, and thank you, Claire." Rose, who heard this, looked up in surprise, and then answered with a relaxed tone.

Because it would be better to die directly than to be sealed and let the spirit be in a state of torment. This would be less cruel.

But if it is as Claire said, then being petrified is nothing.

After all, a thousand years is just a moment for the sealed person.

"Sister, let's go!" Li De said to Claire beside him.

"Okay, Sid!" Claire, who took Li De's arm and glanced at Rose, turned around, and then the two slowly disappeared into the darkness.

After Reed and Claire left, Rose contacted Elizabeth, her immediate superior, through the power of the contract.

"Master! I am Rose Olyana." Rose called to Elizabeth.

"Are you Rose?" Elizabeth was quite surprised at this moment.

"Ms. Claire told me that there are potential risks in keeping Mary's will, so she suggested that the master keep my will." Rose answered.

After all, this was the message Claire left her through the contract before she left.

Of course, Claire actually told her more than that.

There are two other sentences. The first one is that if I kill you once and save you once, we will be even.

The second one is that you originally owed Sid a life, otherwise your experience would have been ten times or a hundred times worse than now.

"I understand, wait for me, wait for me to explain and then go to the capital of Midgar, at most a few hours, then we will directly kill into the embassy. In addition, don't call me master anymore. Strictly speaking, I am just your boss, and our master is only that lord." Elizabeth said immediately.

"Yes, Lady Elizabeth, I understand. It's just about the people in the embassy. In addition to Doem and his minions, there are other nobles and some servants of the Kingdom of Oriana. Regarding these people." Rose seemed to want to fight for something.

"Roz, except for your father, there are no innocent people in the embassy. The possibility that people who can follow Doem at this time are not involved with the Diabolos Cult is too slim.

Even if there are innocent people, it can only be blamed on his bad luck. If you want to curry favor with Doem and take shortcuts, you must be prepared to be liquidated. As for the servants you mentioned, who can guarantee that there are no members of the Cult mixed in?" Elizabeth's tone is not as gentle as Li De's.

"I'm sorry, Lady Elizabeth! I'm too naive." Rose was depressed after hearing this.

"Rose, the struggle between us and the cult is a life-and-death struggle, so we would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go. You haven't adapted to your change of identity yet. When you adapt, you will understand that your father used to need to maintain political balance like the King of Midgar, because he was not strong enough.

But we can suppress all dissatisfaction within the Kingdom of Oriana, so we don't need any political balance at all. There is only the survival of those who obey and the death of those who disobey. Everything is subject to the master's judgment. All hostile forces in the Kingdom of Oriana will be wiped out. That's all.

Of course, this is my future responsibility. I am not asking you to change anything. In fact, it's good for you to keep the status quo. You know, the people will like a kind successor after all. As for cruelty, leave it to me.

But I don't want to see you bring this innocence and kindness that should be seen by the people and the outside world to me. This should be a means to confuse the outside world, not a reason for you to continue to be stupid."

After listening to Elizabeth's words, Rose's face was quite gloomy.

Because Elizabeth's words have already doomed the future of the Kingdom of Oriana to be bloody.

"I understand, Lady Elizabeth, I will do my part." Rose replied immediately.

"That's good, then find a place to wait for me to contact you, don't let the master down." Elizabeth said and disconnected the communication directly.

When Rose disappeared in the dark underground waterway, Elizabeth in the dark tower stood on the terrace and looked towards Midgar.

"Lady Claire!" Elizabeth took the initiative to contact Claire.

"Elizabeth, what's the matter?" Claire didn't expect Elizabeth to contact her.

"In two hours, Rose and I will go to the embassy and clear out all the people from the Kingdom of Oriana in the embassy. In order to ensure that they are all caught, I need you to come forward." Elizabeth sent her thoughts over.

"Are you talking about the Diabolos Cult members who are secretly guarding outside the embassy?" Claire asked after thinking for a while.

"That's one point, and the other is to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to slip away." Elizabeth continued to explain.

"Such a big commotion can't be hidden from anyone. Even if unimportant people escape, it doesn't matter, right?" Claire asked in confusion.

"Yes, after all, only in this way can the king's anger be highlighted. We need to let the outside world know what consequences will come after the Diabolos Cult fails to attack a king." Elizabeth explained patiently.
