At this moment, Kasha and Qina had expressionless faces, but their eyes were cold.

"But you know this."

Observing the expressions of the two people, Thales finally confirmed:

"You knew it long before you cooperated with him and tried to take back the Emerald City for him."

This time, the two sisters were silent for a long time.

But Thales was also very patient and waited quietly.

I don’t know how long it took.

"Of course, we know." Kasha said softly.

"Just like a wife knows her husband." Qina said coldly.

"Just like a subordinate knows her boss."

The twins said intentionally or unintentionally:

"Like a son understanding his father."

"Like a minister who understands his king."

"Even if the latter is so selfish that he doesn't realize it."

Thales thought of Ambassador Hashat's evaluation and fear of Zhan, as well as his own experience in the Fuxing Palace, and fell silent for a moment.

"But so what?" Kasha came back to her senses and took a deep breath.

"This won't change the facts." Qina said coldly.

"We still won't help you."

"On the contrary, you, after being humiliated by the Kevin Deere brothers and sisters, your reputation has been ruined and you have no way to retreat."

Thales was silent for a long time.

"Forget it, Your Majesty," he sighed, "Zhan, does he know that you are so two-faced and take advantage of the situation, and you are trying every means to get him along with you?"

Surprisingly, the twins showed no fear and sneered in unison.

"I thought you knew the Duke very well."

"It seems to be nothing more than that."

Thales frowned.

"Do you think Lord Zhan didn't think of this when he asked us for help?"

"Do you think he had to be bitten by a giant crocodile to get help? Wouldn't he be willing to do so?"

Thales' complexion changed slightly.

He looked at the two sisters with calm expressions and no shame, and suddenly understood.

I see.

Jenn knows.

They know it too.

In the chess game, everyone knows what price they have to bear and what consequences they will face.

But they still had no hesitation.

Move forward towards the established route.

Because within the kingdom, the rolling furnace has been opened.

It's so hot that it burns everything.

They were not allowed to hesitate for a moment.

He realized again that the two sisters in front of him were not people like Tanganga who would give in in the face of fear and threats.

but……

"Don't you feel bored?" Thales said quietly.

"Bored?" the twins asked curiously.

Thales sighed softly:

"Yes, boredom, this is what Mira...Ms. Miranda said to me."

The Karabiyan sisters looked at each other with disdain:

"Mira?"

"Miranda?"

"Big crazy batch in the north?"

"The ruthless woman of steel?"

Thales nodded.

"For you, this trip to the Emerald City, this storm of seizing power, this unusual political game, no matter how good or great you are, even if you drive me out of the Fuxing Palace..."

The prince's eyes were vague, recalling Mira's act of loyalty to him at Star Lake Castle:

"The South Shore is still the Kevin Deere family, it's Jenn, this duplicitous boss who is in charge."

Thales looked at the two girls:

"The Emerald City is still operating in the same way as before, unchanged."

Sister Karabiyan paused, seeming to be angry and puzzled:

"Is not it good?"

"Isn't that the purpose?"

Thales shook his head.

"As for you two, Kasha and Qina, the de facto managers of the Karabiyan family..."

He looked at the two of them quietly, his tone not without regret:

"Even if you reach the top, your limit, your best in this position - I think you have done it - you still have to bear the world's expectations of you to 'marry a husband'."

Kasha and Qina looked at each other intently.

"You still have to work hard to gain space to safeguard your own value and freedom, but at the same time you are forced to pretend to be crazy and act stupid to find the ideal 'husband who died early'..."

Thales thought of something, and the more he spoke, the more emotional he became:

"You can still only spend costs that far exceed the gains, to 'manage up and down, smoothen relationships' on another level, do things you don't like, and pretend to be things you are not used to, just for..."

Thales sighed:

"Are you really not bored?"

This time, the two sisters were confused at first, then lowered their heads and remained silent for a long time.

Until they suddenly raised their heads and spoke again, with a hint of imperceptible anger in their words:

"When His Highness questioned us, he was condescending and confident."

"But he forgot his own position and situation!"

Thales frowned.

I saw Kasha and Qina talking to each other, making sarcastic remarks, directly piercing the prince's past weaknesses:

"You were born a bastard illegitimate child, but did you do so voluntarily?"

"You went to Exeter as a pledge, but of your own free will?"

"You were in danger at the Blade Tooth Camp, but did you do so voluntarily?"

"You dueled at the royal banquet voluntarily?"

"You left the dilapidated Star Lake Castle voluntarily?"

"Is your mission to the Emerald City voluntary?"

The two sisters groaned angrily:

"And you really..."

"Aren't you bored?"

Thales opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless and could only remain silent.

So the demon twins armed themselves with guns and clubs and pursued the victory:

"In the Kingdom of Stars, you seem to have a high status."

“It’s actually redundant and embarrassing!”

"The relationship between you and His Majesty is complicated. We are suspicious of each other. It is difficult to trust, let alone reuse."
