Chapter 074 ◇The most innocent coercion



Donald returned the salute to Jules without changing his face, with a gentle and innocent expression on his face, "Looking at your formation," he looked at the honor guards around him, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Can I tell you something polite? My own words? Just a word, Lord Jules."

"……Please say."

Jules leaned closer, forcing Donald to put his mouth next to his ear, "I know the little secrets between you and your dearest Mr. Clavis. If possible, I don't want to reveal these .”

After finishing speaking, Donald laughed a few times at a normal volume, "That's it, Lord Jules, I'm done talking, you can let go of the hand holding the sword hilt."

Jules straightened up slowly, the expression on his face didn't change at all, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice, and asked in a normal-sounding tone, "I don't understand what you mean, Clewis told me But you asked about a violin in a very strange tone...is that what you meant?"

"If you want to ask for details... can I talk to you? Privately. I don't think these words are appropriate to say publicly."

"If you want to confess, I'd love to hear what you have to say." Jules ordered without changing his face. "Search Donald and take him to the passenger car. Leave five people behind and search his body thoroughly." In the carriage, don’t let go of any doubts.”



Jules's first reaction was flat denial.Donald did not continue to press on this question. Jules was honest but not a fool. On the contrary, he was smart, quick-witted, brave and persevering. If he was determined to hide something, he would not reveal any flaws.

"Master Jules, what do you want to do with me?"

"In addition to me arresting you here, Clewis went to the city of Saint Grace to arrest your father, and Imo went to Maid Heights to arrest Brother Warrant instead of Kravis. We started these three aspects at the same time, and you have no chance to inform They also have no chance to ask anyone to annihilate relevant evidence for you."

"...I thought you wouldn't do anything other than passively transfer my people away."

"Yes." Jules said very directly, "As I am doing now...we know enough, including your collusion with the White Wings. And I will not stop, you have no chance to convince me not to Pursue this matter again... No matter what the reason is, you started this completely unnecessary war and killed many people."

Donald still didn't show any expression, but just responded lightly, "Yes."

There were three Litton fathers and sons, and Jules had a long conversation with them.Balk looked fat and stupid as a pig, but this did not succeed in hiding from Jules' piercing eyes.Jules can see the clues of Balk's shrewdness and cunning under his fat appearance, which is also the evidence of the fat man's cunning and cunning.In fact, he is not bad at thinking, he is calm and has room for doing things, and he dares to sacrifice the bargaining chips in front of him in exchange for greater benefits in the future.He has held power for a long time and is greedy. He can do anything for profit, and he is not small, with a kind of worldly ruthlessness; Apden is loyal to his father, and he may be almost greedy, but On the contrary, his personality is much simpler, not so vicious.Since he was trusted and cared for by his father since he was a child, he will be more vulnerable in case of trouble... This person is purely an accessory.

Donald was the toughest one.On the surface, he is pure and handsome, cheerful and gentle, but his heart is very heavy.

"You are not greedy."

"Ah, because it's unnecessary. No matter how much money there is, it's useless to me... I have no desire for power either."

"You don't approve of your father's ambition either."

"Indeed...Actually, I think it's stupid for him to pursue this kind of thing."

"But your assistance to your father is not just to deal with it."

"Yes. But please forgive me for keeping the reason secret, Lord Jules."

Donald speaks frankly that even Jules' anger at spying on himself and Kravis is almost subsiding.He didn't really dislike this handsome, polite young man...

"Exactly, what did you do?"

"Now that I think about it, Lord Jules, you have actually been wary of me, right?" Donald shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I was only paying attention to the subtle expressions between you and Lord Clavis, but I didn't notice that I was already suspected ..."

"I doubt you because your attitude is too strange."

"That's not my illusion."

"If it's not an illusion, it's an illusion." Jules didn't relax his vigilance, and insisted that the scandals that Donald had detected were all false accusations, "So, in addition to trying to secretly bribe the personnel of the Wang Li dispatched army and transfer the troops' Besides trying to convey the trend, what else did you do?"

"The movement of the troops? Hehe...Since I tested Mr. Clavis, you two no longer discuss with me about the march of the troops, so there is no later period. I often have to wait until the troops have traveled a certain distance Only then can you guess where you want the troops to advance."

"anything else?"

"The amount of military supplies and supplies... but my father is responsible for supplying the Sun Shadow Legion's supplies. He already knew about these things. In fact, I didn't do anything at all. The configuration of your troops is guessed by myself. The direction of the troops' movement It's also my own speculation..."

"It's easy to say." Jules sneered slightly, "Attempted to bribe the personnel of Wang Li's dispatched army..."

"It's not an attempt, I haven't even started to buy it yet..."

"There is sufficient evidence in your private notes, including that Imer, who surrendered to us from the White Wing Legion, was called a traitor by you, which at least reveals that you personally stand on the same position as the White Wing Legion. These are... ..."

"It's all very weak evidence, ridiculously weak, and the charges are too small for you to arrest me yourself. Lord Jules, other than these, I'm just secretly spying on the secret between you and Lord Clavis , I did nothing else. Just like that, Mr. Jules, who has always been strict and business-like... Do you think you still have a good reason to arrest me?"

Jules felt that he was wavering, "I have no dark secrets with Klevis."

"Heh... heh, heh...haha..." Donald suddenly went uncharacteristically and let out a conceited laugh, "Actually, I saw it with my own eyes, Lord Jules. Don't forget, the second verse you used The compartment was rebuilt from a prison car."

"It's true that the carriage was transformed from a prison carriage, but that doesn't prove anything. Tell me about your father's plan? You..."

"Master Jules, Colored Snipe Troop, Kajada Valley."

"what?"

"That time when you were estimating how long it would take for the Painted Sandpipers to reach the Kajada Valley, Master Jules," Donald still respectfully said to him, but his tone was arrogant, as if he had suddenly changed, "If If you still remember, it was you who said, "The Clavis I need is not a sounding board, you have your own stage, and I can't force you to stay by my side", and then, Lord Clavis left I came to you, praised your noble and beautiful appearance, and leaned over to kiss your alluring lips."

"...Donald." Jules looked calm, but his back was covered with cold sweat.

"I saw it with my own eyes. There was a hole in the door from the first car to the second car, about three feet above the ground, under the doorknob. You couldn't see the hole when you were standing. Eye-catching...Of course, I'm kneeling there piously, spying on the little secret between you and Mr. Clavis..." Donald's expression seemed calm, and his tone was very steady, but his voice seemed to tremble slightly, without any pause He said, "Kneeling there, I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Clavis bent down his usually tall body, and praised you in his usually indifferent voice, 'Suddenly I think you are so beautiful.' Yes Yes, and then he bent down to kiss you. Lord Jules, I still remember very clearly that beautiful face of yours... that smile that was only seen by Lord Clewis. Of course, in this I was sure of this before. The way Mr. Clavis looked at you was so gentle that he almost desecrated your beautiful face."

There was something wrong with Donald's tone... Jules seemed to have thought of something, but he was drenched in cold sweat at this moment, and he didn't have the mood to think about the meaning of Donald's tone, so he reluctantly replied indifferently, "Oh, is that so?"

"It's all right if you remember that day."

"...Well." Jules couldn't answer at this moment, he could only hold his right wrist tightly with his left hand, so strong that he almost didn't regard his hand as flesh and blood, the two thin gold silk bracelets on his right wrist were now All embedded in his flesh, the pain made him almost want to cry out.

He had always been afraid of pain, but now the pain forced him to clear his mind.

The courage that flows day and night in the veins of the Guardian of Light has never stopped, and he has no reason to be timid.He has been proud of what he has done for many years, and for his glory, he does have a conduct worthy of anyone.Donald threatens him... Donald threatens him with his relationship with Kravis...

What was his love if he had now succumbed to Donald's intimidation?How could his pure and unadulterated love for Klevis be used for coercion?Yes, he did love Clavis.

so what?He did nothing wrong.

Jules stood up slowly, his waist as straight as a gun.

"Donald Lytton, listen carefully. I, the Guardian of Light, Saint Jules, will never yield to anyone's threats, and I will never agree to any exchange of conditions from you."

"You don't care?"

"The requirement of the patron saint is celibacy, and there is no prohibition on love. So far, there is no record of such a requirement... The Holy Land has never prohibited a patron saint from loving another patron saint. That is to say, according to my own judgment, My personal incident does not constitute dereliction of duty by the patron saint, and neither I nor Clavis have violated the regulations of the holy place. I believe His Majesty's judgment is the same."

"I believe this must be a scandal, whether it is in the Six Rainbow Star or the Holy Land. Does it not matter if you lose your reputation?"

"I can take any blame, and I'm sure Cleves does too."

Donald raised his head and looked at Jules silently.He didn't see any expressions of anxiety, regret, or fear on the other person's face, but only saw this man's attitude so firm that he couldn't see the slightest wavering.But Jules saw unusual emotions on Donald's face, as if some of the things that Clewis had mentioned...

"Hoo...Master Jules," Donald smiled innocently again, "I can give you a little kindness, instead of threatening or coercing you. You are a person who will carry out your duties no matter what the situation is. I Believe it. So... what I am making will definitely not be a request against your conscience."

"If that's the case, you don't have to export threats."

"I pointed out the secret between you and Mr. Clavis, not to threaten..." The innocent and kind-hearted smile on Donald's face seemed distorted for some reason, "I'm just I want you to know that I am a silent insider."

Jules vaguely guessed something, but he still asked, "Why?"

"Forgive me for trying to keep it a secret again...Master Jules." Donald's smile was as gentle as ever, and he looked very sincere, except for the slightly twisted corners of his mouth. "Can you hear what I want to ask?"

"I'm more interested in the term 'silent insider'."

The twist at the corners of Donald's mouth became a little more serious, and there was some frenzied emotion hidden in his dark brown eyes, ready to come out.
