Genshin Impact: Furninna, sister, I am really not a pervert
Chapter 128 A Belated Contract (2)
Holmes grabbed Remus' hair, forcing him to look up and look directly into Holmes' eyes, enduring the pain of his torn scalp.
"Answer me, Remus." Holmes' eyes could not feel any warmth that should be expected from humanity. At this moment, Remus felt as if the blood in his body had frozen.
"Heart of God... No, where is Egolia?"
As soon as Holmes finished speaking, the next second Remus felt his neck being clamped by an invisible giant hand. A feeling of suffocation quickly spread throughout his body, and his body was lifted into the air.
"I'm sorry, I, I don't know." Remus felt as if he couldn't breathe for a moment, which was a manifestation of the person's spirit and strength being stronger than his own.
"But... I will give you everything I have... I don't know what you want, but, but..."
Remus fell to the ground in a mess. His dignity as a demon god disappeared in front of her. He was as helpless as a mortal who had lost his weapon.
“Cough cough cough! I… cough cough cough——”
The demon god Remus endured the severe pain in his body and knelt down in front of Holmes again, disregarding his self-esteem and pleading with her: "'Water King', I beg you. I hope you can show mercy and let my people go. They are all innocent. Their only crime is that they followed a tyrant like me!"
Holmes looked coldly at the demon god Remus kneeling in front of her, and thinking of the same stupid things he had done as the Red King Xumi, she could not feel a trace of pity in her heart.
Holmes didn't even look at her, turned his back and said to Remus in a cold voice: "I'll say it one last time - I'm not the 'King of Water', at least not now..."
"..."
Remus knelt on the ground without saying a word, and Holmes had already understood the meaning of his action.
Holmes crossed his arms, without even looking at Remus, and said coldly with his back to him:
"Are you trying to arouse my sympathy? What a pity, long before you ignored my advice and established this kingdom that went from prosperity to decline in the blink of an eye."
"I have long anticipated that one day you will regret what you have done, and kneel before me without any dignity, begging for my forgiveness, for your actions, for your people, and for a shelter for them."
Holmes turned around and looked at the demon god Remus who was kneeling in front of her, her voice was so cold that it made people shudder.
"I admire your courage to resist 'fate', but 'Fatuna' is called 'fate' precisely because it is destined and cannot be defied." Holmes stared down at Remus and said in a cold voice, "'Fatuna' is the 'rule' that governs the universal phenomena of all things."
"Your birth, your rise, your power, your failure. These have long been recorded in the stars. Your fate has long been recorded in Fatuna."
Holmes chuckled and said to Remus in a relaxed tone: "That is to inject vitality and vigor into the rise of Fontaine civilization, and then your empire will cause war in Fontaine."
"Then the Pure Water Knights attacked the Empire, and the Heart of the Fetal Sea, Egolia, accepted the fragments thrown by the 'Original Man' and became the true Water Demon Egolia."
"In this game of chess played by Heaven, you are the chess piece abandoned by Heaven."
"Sacrifice the rook to save the king? Ha, this is just a plan of heaven to abandon unimportant chess pieces to protect important chess pieces."
Remus took a deep breath despite the severe pain, raised his head and looked into Holmes' eyes, pretending to be calm and said: "That's why I want to beg you who are not recorded in the starry sky to bless my people."
Holmes was stunned and his face was extremely cold.
"Where did you get the news?"
"The 'Prince of the Water Country' told me."
"..."
Fenina saw with her own eyes that Holmes turned around and lowered his head, thinking about something, his brows furrowed, and he was in a very bad mood.
"Did he...tell you anything?"
Holmes turned around and looked at the demon god Remus who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "You'd better not try to be smart with me. I can tell whether it's true or not at a glance."
"The 'First Lord of the Water Kingdom' told me to build this prosperous country as the prophecy showed, and then when the empire collapsed..." A trace of light purple lines gradually appeared on the cheek of the demon god Remus, like a broken scar.
"I am loyal to you."
"..." Holmes was silent for a moment, then frowned and said coldly, "Why do you want to be loyal to me?"
"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life."
"..."
Holmes lowered his head and stared at the demon god Remus in front of him, just like the first time he met this ignorant guy, but this idiot didn't seem to be as stupid as he imagined, and perhaps there were some good points in him.
"That old guy should have told you what the price of loyalty to me is, right?" Holmes snorted lightly without even looking at the demon god Remus, and walked past him towards the palace gate.
"I will give you everything I have, even my life." The demon god Remus lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "If you fail, you will never be reincarnated... and fall into the abyss."
Holmes stopped in front of Fenina, who was a bystander. She was only one step away from Fenina. Holmes turned around and asked knowingly: "Even so, do you have to follow me?"
"Once you make your choice, there will be no turning back. If you betray me, I will make you..."
As soon as Holmes finished speaking, the demon god Remus put on his plaster mask again, stood up, knelt solemnly in front of Holmes, and said in a cold voice.
“Once you make a decision, you will never regret it.”
Holmes looked at the former king of the empire who had abandoned his dignity and now knelt before him, which was completely different from before.
"Remus, you pledge your loyalty to me. Is it really for your people?"
Hearing Holmes' question, the demon god Remus raised his head and said seriously: "Yes, I want to resist the fate of this world called 'Fatuna' for my people."
"Then the empire you built with your own hands is about to be destroyed. Don't you regret it?" Holmes narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Your country..."
The demon god Remus shook his head and said seriously: "As long as the people are still here, then... the empire will not perish."
"After all, my original intention in establishing the Lemurian Empire was to lead humanity to resist Fatuna. If Egolia can lead them to do better than I did, then it will all be worth it."
Holmes was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.
"You are sure you want to be loyal to me, right?" Holmes' tone gradually calmed down. She said softly to the demon god Remus, "Once you embark on this path, there will be no turning back. Even so, will you follow me?"
"My people will follow Egolia after the war because she is more suitable than me to lead people into the future. And I follow you because you can lead us to resist the fate of the world and resist Fatuna."
"The fate in the starry sky definitely did not record what happened today. This is the first step for me to follow you and resist fate."
