Hilley came back to his senses and shook his head.

"This is not what I said, but... someone said it," the eldest lady said vaguely, which made Thales puzzled. "It is also someone's... principle of 'dealing with others'."

someone?

[It’s not just me saying that...]

Thales was so excited.

Just now, he was sure that he heard something, as vague as coming from underwater:

[Little Liuzhi, this is me and you, this is our common principle...]

Xi Lai trembled slightly, turned pale, and bit his lower lip.

【My partner...】

The next second, the vague sound disappeared.

Lausanne II was still deep in thought, seemingly unaware of anything.

Thales knew that this was not the time to ask questions. He could only swallow his throat, pick at his ears that were ringing slightly, and bury his doubts deep in his heart.

"Okay, so what are you doing?"

The prince turned to the killer and asked:

"If you want to know why you ended up like this, then Belicia should have put everything together..."

But this time, Lausanne II stopped telling riddles. He spoke happily:

"I have lived three lives."

Thales and Hilley exchanged glances.

I saw the vampire killer looking at the flickering lights and speaking in a daze:

"In the first part of my life, I was a squire of Knight Joaquin, a reserve knight who came from the bottom."

High-spirited, naive and frivolous.

"In my second life, I was a terrifying killer of the Blood Bottle Gang who killed without blinking an eye and showed no mercy with his sword."

Going through ups and downs, being cynical.

"The third life... I am a monster returned from hell. I am cursed with immortality and curse the damned people."

Cold, numb, and extremely twisted.

"Years ago, because of Joaquin's relationship, I followed the king to the Emerald City, but because of conflicts with other attendants, I was falsely accused of oppressing the people. Thanks to Crown Prince Midir's mediation, and...a certain local judge

Thanks to the officer's integrity and the king's magnanimity, he personally apologized, so I was able to get away with it."

Lausanne II spoke clearly and unhurriedly, and his expression did not change at all, as if he was retelling someone else's story.

Thales and Hilley looked at each other, and both resisted the desire to interrupt and ask questions.

"But the royal family lost face, and I felt uneasy and guilty about it, so I decided to do something to make up for it: at the subsequent general election, I put on the armor of a classmate's squire and took his place.

"

All disasters begin from here.

The vampire killer raised his head, and in the darkness and turbidity, he found the clear but tough attendant of the past again.

"Wait a minute, your classmate doesn't have any objections?" After all, Heeley couldn't hold back and was the first to ask.

"In that unjust case in which I was framed, Aknett was injured in the hand and unable to fight because of me," Lausanne II sneered, "I think I am also obliged to do something for him."

He said in a daze:

"Just like that, I held my breath and gritted my teeth, fighting and winning all the way until the finals."

Thales' expression changed:

"The opponent is Prince Horace?"

Lausanne II nodded in a daze:

"The Sword of Light."

As a knight master and teacher, Joaquin originally knew his own strength, but before setting off to the Emerald City, he repeatedly told him not to participate in the competition or to be in the limelight...

Looking at it now, many years later...

Lausanne II shook his head and pushed away the unnecessary memories from his mind:

"But just one day before the game, some caring people found me."

Hearing this, Thales and Hille both moved.

"They promised me: As long as I lose the game beautifully after a fierce duel, let the second prince win smoothly, and complete the royal story of Horace returning from the Terminator Tower and winning the championship..."

Lausanne II said in a deep voice:

"After that is accomplished, there will not only be other rewards, but they will also help me settle the aftermath of that unjust case, including conflicts with other attendants, including impersonation while wearing other people's armor. Neither Aknett nor I will be affected.

Punishment, if one day... they will not forget my achievements."

Hilley showed a disgusted expression and spoke out Thales's thoughts:

"No surprise - don't tell me, you agreed?"

Lausanne II looked obsessed and shook his head:

"After that, other people found me."

He continued:

"Compared with the previous group of people, they are better spoken, more confident, and more... upright."

Lausanne II said numbly:

"They told me that the crown prince has been established and the throne has been determined long ago. For the sake of the overall situation of the palace and the stability of the kingdom, it is not appropriate for the second prince to win the championship at this time, let alone enjoy the cheers of the crowd and win boundless prestige at this time."

The overall situation of the palace...

The kingdom is stable...

"Besides, the Crown Prince has worked hard to clear up my grievances, and you should repay his kindness in a timely manner...or something like that..."

He took a deep breath:

"So...if possible, they can provide help, so that I can be more aggressive and play the game more intensely, so that I can openly 'unable to hold back' and cause Horace to be seriously injured and disabled - they even gave me a penalty for this."

Gave me a bottle of poison."

Thales and Hille both frowned.

The prince was seriously injured and disabled.

This is not as simple as losing the game on purpose.

"And these two groups of people... put you in a dilemma?" Thales said in a deep voice.

Lausanne II snorted coldly.

Two groups of people?

Or...are these the same kind of people from beginning to end?

"Then why don't you just go to the king directly?" Thales couldn't help but said, "Confess to him and ask him to make the decision?"

Lausanne II smiled disdainfully.

"When both Zhan and Federico have their own agendas and try to persuade you to do what they want, Your Highness," he did not answer directly, but asked the prince, "Why don't you go to the wise and wise King? Please ask him.

Call the shots?"

"I..." Thales hesitated to speak.

"Placing undue expectations on greater power or higher strength, hoping that they can solve the problem," Healy said quietly from the side, "This is the first step of the fallacy."

Thales couldn't help but ask:

"Did 'it' say it again?"

Hilley trembled and raised his head.

"That was the first difficult duel in my life." Fortunately, the killer interrupted their conversation in time. "The difficulty is not the skill, but the psychology."

He hummed softly:

"That's right, the Sword of Light is very strong after he learned it from the Tower of the End."

Lausanne II's eyes were bright:

"But it's not that strong."

Especially among the team of accomplices around him who all had their own agendas, flattered him, and forcibly praised him as "the best master in the history of the Bright Star Royal Family".

"In five rounds, I found his inevitable flaw."

Speaking of this, Lausanne II sighed:
To be continued...
