Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!

"News came from the royal city that the eldest prince, Rainless, launched a coup and the old king is now missing. This news is still being blocked, but I estimate that it will spread throughout the kingdom in no time..."

In the conference room, all the members of the Free Heart gathered together, listening to Fina's cold explanation in silence.

So that's how it is. Hill nodded secretly as he listened. This indeed matched the plot of Kingdom Rebellion. From the player's perspective in the previous life, everything happened so suddenly, but this time he got different information.

Sure enough, there are definitely signs before a disaster strikes.

But this doesn't seem to be a sign anymore, but the disaster is already upon them, and they know...

"What's the news from the royal city?" Hill thought for a moment, raised his eyes and asked, "Are there many people supporting the eldest prince?"

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at Fina again. Unknowingly, Hill had already been regarded as one of them.

"No news, the situation is very chaotic," Fina shook her head, "but our Free Heart Mercenary Group owes the old king a lot of favors, so..."

"Hill," she said halfway, and suddenly looked at Hill: "You stay here and continue to recruit the Chosen Ones to find Borg's relics. Knimu, you stay with Hill, and the rest of you, come with me to the Royal City. Any objection?"

"Have!"

Hill and Knimu spoke at the same time, which warmed Fina's heart.

She knew they were worried about her. After all, the Heart of Freedom could be considered the old king's faction. The situation was so chaotic now. If she took people back to the royal city, she might be charged with treason.

"I want to go with you!" Knimu spoke first, her tone anxious.

Obviously, this carefree girl also noticed something.

"Don't you like Hill the most?" Fina sighed and lowered her eyes slightly: "Now that the two of you stay here, no one will take care of you anymore, isn't that good?"

"No! No, no!" Kneem shook her head desperately: "No, not only Hill, but also the captain, Rhodes, and... everyone should be together!"

“........” Fina was silent and looked at Hill.

She knew that she alone could not make Knimu stay, and only if Hill was willing to help would there be a chance...

After Hill said "yes", he became unusually silent.

She is analyzing the current situation.

According to the plot of the previous life, Fina was not in a hurry to return to the royal city, but stayed in Bell Town to continue digging for relics, and "by the way" to protect the residents and players in this town just in case.

Then the kingdom was in chaos, and the neighboring country invaded. Fina and her group died on the way to Emerald Bay while protecting the residents of Bell Town and the players...

But now, Fina decided to return to the royal city first.

The reason is easy to find. It was she who changed the course of the plot and made Fina feel a little more at ease about Bell Town's ability to protect itself. At the same time, after all, Hill did not accept the old king's favor, so in order not to implicate her, he killed two birds with one stone and left her and Knimu in this place.

However, this result was not what Hill wanted!

If Fina returns to the royal city now, she will only die faster!

So she pondered for a moment, then slowly raised her eyes: "Are you willing to sacrifice all those who follow you for the justice in your heart?"

"What did you say?" Fina frowned suddenly, and then said in a serious tone: "Do you mean that you don't recommend me to do this? I have met Prince Rainless several times, and he will only be a tyrant! Besides, the old king will never fall so easily!"

"Well, he was a tyrant, but he overthrew the old king," Hill nodded, "which proves that the old king was not a qualified king either."

"You!" Fina glared angrily, but after a pause, she sighed, "You, absolutely cannot say that in front of other people!"

In fact, she also knew...

Accepting the other person's kindness is one thing, but whether or not you recognize the other person's ability is another.

The old king might be considered a benevolent ruler, but he is definitely not a wise ruler!

You can see it by just looking around and seeing the nobles who only oppress the common people and the endless bandits in various places.

The old king wanted to impose light taxes on the people, but he did not have the ability to do so. As a result, all the benefits went into the hands of various nobles, and the entire kingdom did not become better.

Not to mention his initiative to make the Goddess of Mercy the goddess of state religion.

Churches of the goddess of mercy can be seen everywhere, and priests manage the town... The abandoned altars of the god of war and fire on the roadside...

When this decree was promulgated, the followers of the massacre protested. There has never been a country that encourages people to give up their fighting spirit....

Not everyone is Alice, and not everyone is willing to try love and peace.

Maybe it is because of this that some people would rather support the eldest prince than the old king... An ambitious prince and a cowardly king, a timeless and classic plot...

However, this ambitious prince is not much better.

This is also the reason why Hill did not tell Fina that the old king was indeed not dead!

In the previous life, at the end of the kingdom's chaos, because the eldest prince and the old king were not suitable for governing the country, coupled with various unrests and the duke who held power, the kingdom was finally divided into five countries!

There is the Imperial Territory controlled by the empire which is mainly composed of humans, the Kingdom Territory of the old king, the Prince Territory of the eldest prince, the Duke Territory controlled by three dukes, and the Free Territory which is fought over by orcs, goblins, and players of various races.

Of course, this is not what Hill should care about now. She only cares about the life and death of Fina and her group...

The death of Fina and the others was related to another reason that had already been obvious....

"Captain," she thought for a moment, staring into Fina's eyes seriously, "There is something I have never told you. Borg's relics... have been found."

"!? " Fina's face was instantly filled with question marks.

"Found it?" She was a little dazed. At this moment, she was thinking about not finding the relic, but what reason she could use to keep Hill and Knimu in Bell Town...

"Come with me," Hill said without explaining anything. He just moved his head towards Fina, then looked at the other members of the group: "The space there is limited. Only the leader and I can go."

Everyone nodded, Fina remained silent and followed Hill out the door.

At the last moment before leaving, Hill glanced back at the group members in the room.

In response to her, the members looked at her expectantly. Even Knimu stopped making a noise and looked at Hill seriously and nodded, which was rare.

It seems that they don't want to go back to the royal city. They like this peaceful town. None of them are stupid. But if Fina insists on going, they will never complain!

So they hope Hill can persuade them...

Head.
