"Why did you risk yourself last night?"

"You're still enjoying it when you end up in person?"

A double image seemed to appear in front of Thales' eyes.

Those are the faces of Anker and Doyle.

The young man took a deep breath, concentrated his attention, and tried his best to explain:

"Last night's banquet was a tricky situation. It was a dilemma. No choice was appropriate."

"So I personally left the stage to find a third way, to show them a completely different Thales Bright Star, so that we..."

But right now.

"lie."

Thales paused after speaking.

"You ended up personally, not because of 'us'."

King Kessel stared at him from a distance, as if watching a chess game:

"And just because of you."

"You want to save both the pieces and the game."

Thales felt a chill in his heart.

"Because this is who you are."

"No matter what happens, you always want to find a way to satisfy everyone, a perfect choice that meets your highest expectations."

"It's best to be calm and harmless."

"Avoid the ugliness and sacrifice you least want to face."

Thales felt his breathing becoming more and more sluggish.

"I--"

He wanted to speak and relieve the pressure, but...

It's no use, Thales.

The young man opened and closed his lips in vain, thinking bitterly:

Useless.

he knows.

Thales lowered his head in a daze.

And like he said, there's nothing you can do to hide.

no excuse.

"But what I don't understand is..."

The king's words continued:

"Didn't damn fate give you a damn response every time?"

Thales was startled.

At that moment, King Kessel's eyes seemed to cut open his chest:

"You killed everyone at the national conference, but you received more people's malice and suspicion."

"You tried to turn the tide in Longxiao City, but you raised an enemy who is even more terrifying than your predecessor."

"You spoke for the Grand Duchess in the Palace of Heroes, but you put yourself in the danger of public outrage and had to turn to worse allies."

"You had an ambiguous attitude in the Saber Tooth Camp, and it seemed like the situation was improving. However, at last night's banquet, you were slapped in the head by the unrelenting conflict between the two sides, and you were in a state of utter confusion."

Listening to these personal experiences, Thales felt his body becoming more and more numb.

is that so?

Regarding his choice...

Destiny, has it responded every time?

"Just like last night, you wisely and tactfully protected the chess pieces and the chess game, winning your position and reputation..."

The king said sarcastically:

"But he left the shit on his ass for the whole kingdom to wipe."

Thales had a meal.

More excuses emerged from the bottom of my heart, but when the words came to my lips, there was no way to say them out.

"The third way? Ha, it's like you are used to the casual attitude of street beggars, but you delusionally want status and honor."

Hearing these words, Thales couldn't help but be shocked.

"You wander to the top of the cliff, but you dream of the view of the sky."

"I also feel that as long as I am brave and not afraid of death, I can keep my feet firmly on the ground."

Kessel's accusations were like sharp knives, carving into his heart.

The king's sharp eyes left Thales and looked into the void.

"Just like you and that girl from Longxiao City."

Thales, on the other hand, allowed the voice of the Supreme King to penetrate into his ears, unable to do anything:

"You tell yourself that a strong ally can bring benefits to you because of your values ​​and position."

"But you also tell yourself that out of emotion and desire, a beloved lover makes you willing to give."

The next moment, King Kessel’s words took a turn for the worse:

"But if you confuse these two points and drift between them, you still think that you can handle both left and right with ease."

"Then you are wrong."

The king's eyes were filled with coldness as he spoke word by word:

"Until you understand that every time, every self-righteous perfect choice has a greater price."

The boy swallowed again.

"I think she, Lady Blazing Blood, has proven her worth and position in that battle."

Thales corrected his voice so that he would not sound so confused.

But for some reason, his sentences stuttered:

"She's powerful...she can be powerful."

"She can bring us benefits..."

The king snorted coldly.

"You know," he looked directly at Thales and said coldly:

"I'm not talking about her."

Thales' body swayed slightly.

The Iron Fist King said sarcastically:

"North Star."

Polaris.

It's the North Star again.

Thales has never hated this title as much as he does now.

As much as he hates this moment.

"What about you?"

After several struggles, Thales' words finally sounded faintly.

"His Majesty."

The young man's voice was not loud and the pitch was not steep, but it sounded like he was asking feebly after going through hardships:

"Dear Ms. Jini, is she your ally or your lover?"

In the darkness, King Kessel's eyes suddenly moved.

The surrounding air is no longer solid.

But there was a sense of tension on the eve of an avalanche.

"And you are really, as you said, a person who despises emotions and impulses and only cares about gains and losses..."

Like a drowning man gasping for breath when he comes out of the water, the boy's words rippled:
To be continued...
