"...Okay, then let me explain a little more clearly."
Langdon took off his coat and put it on Flora, hiding her skin from the torn part of her dress.
"If forgiveness is all you want, I've forgiven you."
Surprise bloomed in Flora's eyes: "Then—"
"but."
Langdon lowered his head slightly, and looked at Flora: "As I said, forgiveness is actually very simple. It's not time, there are other reasons to be shaken, because whether you hate someone or hate someone, it's all about you. It's a constant emotional drain, and if you don't put in the fuel, it will go out sooner or later."
"...I don't understand, what exactly are you trying to say..."
She looked at Langdon, and Langdon was looking at her.
Unlike the previous calm and rational, Langdon's eyes were a little sad.
Flora felt ominous, as if what Langdon was going to say was something she didn't want to hear... But didn't Langdon forgive her?What could be wrong?
Langdon whispered.
"Flora...I'm actually very sad, because I found that even if I can forgive you, I can't trust you anymore."
[ps: add more tweets.Trusting again is the hardest part... good night everyone. 】
49. It's really not a delusion of persecution (3k)
Langdon couldn't lie to himself, and if he said forgiveness, everything really seemed to be restored to the original state.
He had always found Flora difficult to understand.
She was always cute when she was a child, and then she became the same before she knew it. This time she chased after the Principality of Stuart, and she was so cautious that she seemed to be a different person.
A person once stabbed him from the back, but now he voluntarily blocked the knife for him...
Why can people become so fast?Could he really trust her again?Would she really not change again and give him another knife?
Langdon could forgive Flora for what she was doing now, but he could no longer trust her in the future.
He himself felt so sad about himself.
"...You want to forgive, I have already forgiven you, that's it, you have a good rest, I'll go and see the situation."
Langdon carefully adjusted the overcoat on Flora, and then called the maid to accompany Flora.
Flora stared blankly at Langdon, tears slipping down unconsciously.
He treated her so sweetly and tenderly after a long time, if Langdon didn't say what he just said, Flora would even have the illusion that everything had returned to its original state.
But those cruel words still echoed in her mind.
Why, haven't you already forgiven?What does it mean to be able to forgive, but can no longer trust her...
Flora wanted to say that Langdon had become cold, but she could feel that deep in Langdon's gentle eyes, there seemed to be a sadness comparable to hers.
Langdon didn't mean to torture her, he really wanted to trust, but found that he couldn't, and even he himself was suffering from it.
This fact almost broke Flora's heart.
It was her fault that Langdon had become like this, and now it was her own fault.
Her trust in Langdon was too hasty, and Langdon's tolerance made her think it was easy.
But she was wrong. Trust is a very precious thing. The one that was once broken by Flora herself, now even if he forced Langdon, he would not be able to get a second one.
"Landon..."
Flora reached out tremblingly and grabbed the hem of Langdon's shirt who was about to leave. Watching him turn around patiently, she gently asked her if she had any questions.
No, this is not what I want, this is different from what I thought, I regret it, what I want is not simply forgiveness——
But Flora looked into Langdon's eyes, but couldn't say anything, she could only keep apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Langdon...I'm sorry..."
I'm sorry... It's obviously all her fault, but the gentle him suffers so much because he can no longer trust her...
What a cruel thing she did to Langdon, who was once tolerant and kind like a god...
"Don't cry." Langdon patted her on the head. "I have good news for you. The nanny should have arrived. Don't worry her...I'll go and check. If there's nothing wrong, you can go back quickly."
He looked at the maid again, and said, "Take care of her, she was injured just now."
The maid hurriedly supported Flora to agree, and watched as Langdon pulled the hem of his clothes out of Flora's hand, turned and left.
Flora stared obsessively at Langdon's leaving back, tears streaming down her face.
Why is she a saint?
If she had been an ordinary person, it would have been better if she had just died at that moment... Langdon would not be stingy in entrusting his trust to a dead person.
She disregarded Langdon's persuasion in order to become a saint, and she personally turned Langdon into a suspicious look.
The world really has retribution.
Thinking of Langdon's advice, the maid comforted Flora: "Your Highness, don't cry. The Duke cares about you very much. May I help you to rest next to me? Or go back to your room directly?"
Flora slowly came back to her senses.
...Yeah, anyway, Langdon had returned to caring about her.
How greedy she is, she actually wants to go back to the past in one breath.
Langdon was right, time is the best medicine.
Now she can't confess to Langdon, and the confession will be rejected, but compared to before, there is already a huge improvement.
All she needs to do is wait and keep working hard.
If you give up now, there is really no future!
"……I will not give up."
Flora's murmurs dissipated into the air before reaching Langdon's ears.
After all, Langdon is the Duke. With such a big event happening tonight, it is impossible to keep entangled with Flora. After all, it should be almost the same here, so I hurried over to check the situation.
Because they knew that they were not demons, drinking was more at ease. Some people even drank several cups in one go to prove themselves.
It has to be said that the nobles are really entertaining and restless. When Langdon came over, they were already in the side hall as if the banquet had restarted, drinking and chatting, laughing, the band was playing music, and many people were dancing... Langdon I almost thought that what I saw before was a hallucination.
Langdon: "..."
Shalltear saw Langdon, and hurried over to report: "Duke, everyone can understand, and they've all drunk, there should be no more demons."
After all, most people are very afraid of death. It is beneficial for normal people to quickly confirm whether there are new demons.
But Langdon sighed: "I'm not sure. After all, Flora also said that some demons can actually endure... Now that I have mentally prepared, the test is just better than nothing."
The palace directors at the side were all silenced by Langdon's words.
... I always feel that the words of that demon clan just now have some truth, and their duke is a little delusional.
What Shalltear noticed was that Langdon's name for the saint had changed back to "Flora"...Although it may have been easy to say for so many years, just now Flora sacrificed her life to save others, Langdon He also went to talk to Flora for a while, and his attitude is not so cold now... Shalltear felt that Langdon had probably forgiven Flora.
However, she is busy with work, and Shatia herself has an imperial brother in the castle, and her identity will be exposed to crisis at any time, so she doesn't have the energy to think about it. She just wants to arrange the work in front of her first: "If you want to confirm whether there are other magic If you are from the family, you probably have to wait for the interrogator to see if you can find anything."
Shalltear has already followed the plan, and on the grounds of condolences, sent drinks mixed with [divine blood] to the people of the Heka Empire who did not come to the banquet. They said that no new demons were detected, which also included This part of the people.
After Langdon left Flora, Bridget immediately followed up closely to protect her. Hearing this, she couldn't help but interrupt.
"Shouldn't there be any? I delayed the time according to the plan, but no accomplice jumped out to help him. Even the assassination of the Duke was distracted by himself."
Langdon was persuaded: "That's right... If you calculate the probability, a demon is almost enough... Ah, Your Highness Leonard, are you okay?"
The second prince of the Heka Empire doesn't look very good.
His face was flushed, he was holding a glass of wine, his hands were shaking all the time, he looked like he had drunk too much because he was overwhelmed by drinking...
As the owner of this place, Langdon had a problem at the banquet receiving distinguished guests. It was originally very rude, but this demon was brought by the second prince of the Heka Empire, so the nature is completely different. Now the pressure is on Heka. On the side of the Card Empire, they had to make good compensation to Langdon.
Therefore, as soon as the second prince saw Langdon, he began to apologize: "...I am very sorry, I really did not expect him to be a demon... I, I am so close to him, I have always trusted him... I can't see it at all ..."
His hands trembled more when he was agitated, and Langdon hurried to comfort him.
"It's not your fault. It's hard to tell the demons apart. Now that you find them, you can feel at ease. But if this happened, the group might have to stay with me for a while longer."
The second prince forced a smile: "This is what it should be... well, but how did you come up with the idea of testing the demons?"
Is it because of persecution paranoia! ?
They could vaguely hear the howling voice of the staff from a long distance, and some people had even discussed it in private...
Langdon coughed and lowered his voice: "Well, it's not that the saint is here, and... you came to the August Empire, don't you just want to discuss this matter with our emperor?"
The second prince shouted in his heart.
The saint has been in the imperial capital for so long, when did you see the emperor treat you with [divine blood]? !
But it is true that his mission to the August Empire this time is to represent his father and Emperor August to discuss the demon race with the Emperor August. Because of the appearance of the Son of Prophecy, the secrecy is kept secret from the people below. The royal family has been notified by the temple, otherwise how to mobilize everyone to fight against the demons?
With the status of Grand Duke Stuart, it is normal to know the existence of the Son of Prophecy. It is a bit early to start preparing for the demon war now, but it is not completely incomprehensible.
Alas, but earlier has the advantage of earlier, such as going to interrogate his staff now, the staff——
Absolutely will not confess him.
Because the staff didn't know that he was a demon.
Oh my god, today is really thrilling. He just got the wine glass, and before he could drink it, something happened to his staff, otherwise his first reaction would have been exposed.
To be honest, he was really shocked, he didn't expect the staff to be the same as him.
He acted as an aide, and his aides acted in front of him, but it turned out that he was actually one of his own...
It's not that his hands are shaking now because he's afraid or he drank too much. In fact, he just took a sip and sprinkled the rest quietly. The shaking of his hands is because he can't suppress his body's reaction to [God's Blood]!
Fortunately, his acting skills are good, and he found a good reason, so he managed to fool him.
Thinking back now, it’s no wonder that the staff and his goal were the same, they always wanted to find out from Joshua where the seal of the temple was kept by the Royal Family of Saliere.
There is a small part of the demon king's soul in it. If you pay too much attention to it, you will actually look a little strange, very demonic.
So, as a staff member of the demon clan, he made up a reason that "obtaining this seal can overwhelm the temple, and use it to exchange conditions with the temple to support you as the emperor". He also pretended to believe it, and thought it was a coincidence.
In the end, the two of them actually wanted to find the seal and release it, so that the Demon King could recover completely, right? !
Alas, if part of the soul is missing, something will definitely go wrong in the reincarnation of the Demon King, he is so worried...
[ps: add updates at night]
50. So you are also a princess (3k)
In any case, Langdon felt that being able to detect a demon was not a loss, otherwise he might not be able to lose the impression of being a persecuted paranoid...
All he needs to do is to appease the frightened guests... Well, for now, he doesn't need to bother too much. Food and wine are served in the side hall again, and the band has already moved their instruments here...
Langdon took a glass of wine, walked into the crowd, and had a private conversation with important ministers and nobles.
His appearance means that the matter has completely calmed down, and it can be regarded as a stabilizing effect. Some ministers who always thought that he was young and unable to bear the burden, said this time with emotion that it is fortunate that he is thoughtful and has a relationship with the saint. good……
Then the people around echoed: "It's our principality's luck to have such a grand duke!"
You have counted all over the world, how many people can make the saintess take out so much [divine blood]?Only their grand duke!
Before, I vaguely heard that the Grand Duke seemed to have a conflict with the saint in the imperial capital, why did he give a gift, and the gift was returned... At that time, I thought it was a trivial matter between young people, but looking at it now, it is really unnecessary Don't worry too much, the saint just sacrificed her life to save the Grand Duke and acted as a human shield for the Grand Duke!
As long as he can win over the saintess, at least in dealing with the demons, he will definitely have an advantage over other places.
...Ah, but, it seems that I heard that the Grand Duke has a good relationship with the princess who awakened the blood of the elves...
It's a bit difficult to choose. For an elf mage, the offspring may not be able to awaken the elf blood, it can only guarantee that she will become the principality's combat power when she is alive, but for a saint, the child born will definitely be very talented...
The horoscope has not been written yet, but many ministers have already begun to imagine the benefits that the Grand Duke's wedding can bring.
Speaking of which, what about the princess?
Due to the relatively quick evacuation, not many people saw the scene where Bellatrix dropped Langdon and left, at least the ministers in front of her didn't know about it.
Therefore, a minister couldn't help asking: "Duke, have you seen the princess? Although she is an elf mage, it should be the first time she has seen this kind of situation. Remember to comfort the saint after you finish consoling her." Princess……"
Langdon: "..."
