It would come sooner or later. Five days later, Knight Fernando finally led the main force of the legion to the town of Mora March. At the same time, Susanna had quietly left the Holy City.
In a few days, Susanna's intense emotional changes and inner contradictions were beyond description in words. From the initial shock and disbelief, to acquaintance, to serving and sleeping together day and night, Susanna experienced too much. Too many emotions, such as confusion, surprise, pain, sadness, etc., surged in Susanna's heart, bringing her to the edge of explosion. But for her mother, she not only had to endure it, but also forced herself to smile. If An Fei was by her side, Susanna, who never cried, would definitely throw herself into An Fei's arms and cry desperately to vent her inner misery. Unfortunately, she was destined to survive this darkest day alone.
Perhaps, it is inevitable for children to owe a debt that is difficult to repay. Susanna did not recognize the other party at first, but the old woman recognized Susanna at first sight and stared at Susanna. She was already dying. It even burst out with vigorous vitality.
In fact, in the past few days, the old woman had to sleep many times a day. Even Susanna's return could not make her change this habit. But every time she woke up, she would talk to Susanna a lot. Some topics have been repeated countless times, and some topics have just been remembered. When tired of talking, they will fall asleep again, only to wake up and talk again.
In the darkest night, Susanna talked about the benefits of Anfei, which made the old woman smile and fall asleep contentedly. But when Susanna rested for a while and opened her eyes again, she found that her mother beside her had no sound.
The funeral was hosted by Saul himself, but Susanna was like a wooden figure and allowed herself to be manipulated throughout the entire funeral. She did not speak or shed any tears. Even when Yolande appeared at the funeral, she did not react at all. .
After Susanna left the Holy City, an inconspicuous carriage quietly drove out of the north gate. After walking forward for about twenty miles, we turned down a small road and ran quickly towards the east. Just as we entered a forest, the driver suddenly flew up like an electric shock and hit a big tree on the side of the road. On the tree, when he rolled to the ground, large balls of blood spurted out from his mouth. People with good eyesight can clearly see the blood and even the fragments of internal organs mixed in. It would be impossible to survive.
A gray figure appeared in the coachman's position. Although the sun was bright, it could not illuminate the figure clearly. The horse pulling the carriage ran for a while without anyone driving it and stopped automatically.
Like a frog who has seen a snake, Phillip sat numbly in the car, with an angry look in his eyes from time to time. Sometimes it turned into fear. After a long, long time, it was fear that got the upper hand. Philip said in a hoarse voice: "You are here..."
"Master Philip, where are you going?" The gray figure said calmly. His voice sounded very feminine. The so-called feminine here means that his tone was obviously very kind. But it just gives people a chilling feeling.
"I'm going to visit a friend." Perhaps because he couldn't bear the question, Philip's voice suddenly rose: "Do I need your permission to leave the Holy City?"
"As far as I know, Lady Susanna is not your friend." The gray figure ignored Philip's rhetorical question. Or he was too lazy to answer: "Go back, Lord Philip."
Philip fell silent, but his eyes became more and more determined. People said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. People only ignore the threat of death when they are young. When they get older, they develop a strong fear of death. , But this was wrong for Philip. He was not afraid of death. The key was whether the death was meaningful. Today, he thought he had found the best opportunity.
"I have never left Your Majesty for decades. You should also understand what it means for Your Majesty to ask me to stop you. Your Majesty is already angry, very, very angry..." The image of the gray man could not see the fighting spirit in Philip's eyes. Same, he still said calmly: "Not only must there be a good start, but also a good ending. This is His Majesty's attitude towards all the heroes of the empire, including you, Lord Philip. I hope you will not let down His Majesty's good intentions. Let alone test His Majesty’s patience.”
"Julande's kindness? Haha..." Philip suddenly laughed loudly: "I have served Julande for so many years, and I still don't know what kind of person Julande is! Prince Deschelet, Prince Dionysus, Which one is not a hero who has made great contributions to the empire? So what happens in the end? Haha... You can hide it from the people of the world about leading troops to rebel, but don’t try to hide it from me. You have already killed them and led troops to rebel. They are just two puppets, so Yolande can not only get rid of them naturally, but also kill a large number of nobles who are dissatisfied with him!"
The gray figure didn't say anything, just looked at Phillip indifferently.
"even
Even a brother, Yolande, can kill someone, let alone someone else! Now I am no longer of use to him just because I am old, let me tell you! Phillip roared angrily: "Sooner or later you will be useless!" "
The gray figure showed a look of pity in his eyes: "Do you know why His Majesty has never given you actual power? Because your mind is too simple. Being a swordsman is enough. If you are asked to do anything else, you will definitely get into trouble. Your Majesty must punish you when the time comes, but you don't understand this, and instead feel resentful towards His Majesty."
"You fart!" Philip shouted.
"After His Majesty implemented the restructuring, he received strong opposition from the nobles, including Prince Deshelet and Prince Dionysos. They are the leaders of the nobles and control more than half of the army of the empire. What does this mean to Your Majesty? ? He will have to stop the restructuring!" The gray figure shook his head slightly: "I know it is meaningless to say this to you, because you did not agree with the restructuring at the time, but for me, I support all of His Majesty's decisions , if Prince Deshelet and Prince Dionysus had not died, how could the Maho Empire become as powerful as it is today!"
"Anyway, you are the winner now. People in the world will believe whatever you say." Philip said in a sarcastic tone.
"I also know that what bothers you the most is that His Majesty does not allow you to retaliate against An Fei." The gray figure sneered: "You and I both know who Zeda is. What bad things has he not done? If we investigate carefully, at least a dozen murders will be directly linked to Zeda!"
"There are so many untouchables in the world, so what's the big deal if a few of them die!"
"It seems...it really doesn't make sense to reason with you. You think An Fei is the murderer of Zeda. In fact, the real culprit is you. If it weren't for your doting, how could Zeda become That look?" The gray figure said helplessly: "This is also one of the reasons why His Majesty does not want to reuse you. How should I put it... The concepts are different. Your Majesty believes that the nobles can enjoy life to the fullest, but at the same time, I hope the nobles understand Who is supporting them? You must learn to be grateful and respect them. If you cannot do these, you should at least learn to be kind."
"Thanksgiving, let's be grateful to those untouchables, don't you think you are too funny? Haha..." Philip laughed again.
"Untouchable... Yes, you liked to put these two words on your lips when you were young to show your nobility. In your heart, I am also an untouchable." The gray figure looked up at the sky, surrounded by The air suddenly turned cold: "It's getting late. After talking so much nonsense to you, I have done my best. Philip, do you still not want to look back?"
The smile on Phillip's face became even more arrogant: "Do you think you can protect that bitch by stopping me? Do you think West and Glendon will do nothing? Do you think Wolf King Manchusli will grow old? Stay in the Holy City honestly?"
"Your Majesty has always thought that you are simple-minded, and I think so too. It seems that I was wrong. You are more stupid than I thought." The gray figure said lightly: "Even you know it, how can your Majesty not know it? Besides, you shouldn’t have told me this. With your reminder, His Majesty will make up for the mistake immediately.”
Phillip's expression became stiff, and his fighting spirit that could be described as crazy shrank instantly. He knew very well the strength of the man in front of him. He thought that if they died together and caused heavy damage to the other party, it would be difficult for Julander to free up his hands to protect him. Susanna, Sol and Stig are about to go to the northern front, Mioric is still in Tumen Business Alliance, and others just take advantage of this opportunity, An Fei killed his grandson, he will destroy An Fei wife.
However, since Yolande knows everything well, his desperate efforts become meaningless. In other aspects, Yolande must have made arrangements.
"Philip, I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. Either you go back, or you draw your sword," the gray figure said slowly.
"I..." Philip gritted his teeth and spat out a humiliating answer after a while: "Okay, I'll go see His Majesty."
"Please." The gray figure said calmly.
Phillip's body turned into a meteor, crashed through the carriage, and flew straight towards the Holy City. Perhaps he was afraid that he could not bear the humiliation, so he never dared to look back.
"Untouchable...what a noble Philip..." the gray figure murmured, and the carriage under his feet suddenly turned into countless fragments in the dazzling white light and flew everywhere, and the four horses pulling the carriage also flew out with a scream. Far away, the gray figure disappeared, just as abruptly as when it appeared. If Yolande was here, he must know that his old friend is very angry now, and the consequences will be serious...
