"So you made a choice?" The expression on Aliena's face was complicated... more complicated than when she first entered the Tigris. From the perspective of Giuliano's wife and children, he is really a good father, husband, and man...
Either betray family and love, or betray morality and conscience, this is a single-choice question.
"Choice"... She suddenly hated this word.
"You know... Betrayal, after taking the first step, the road below will be much easier. This is probably the so-called 'degeneration'." Giuliano said in a very calm tone: " I originally thought that the old and new factions would continue to confront each other, and with His Majesty's patience, he could wait until the death of Melore and Henrietta... It's a pity that fate is always so cruel."
When he said the last sentence, there was a sadness and helplessness in his eyes, guilt for Melor, guilt for the fallen soldiers of the 23rd Ranger Regiment, and apology for Kudelia and Alena , all revealed.
"I'm Giuliano, not Melore... I don't have an elder brother like Henrietta holding up the blue sky behind me, I can't be a big man willfully, I... choose to be a little man."
The last sentence is self-deprecating, but more like an indictment of unfair fate.
Many people admire Melore as a real man, but how many people can see Henrietta's contribution? Without Henrietta's sacrifice, there would be no regrets in Mellor's life.
This is the love of an elder brother for his younger brother, as thick as a mountain.
Many people can't see it, and can't feel it.
Kudelia and Alena couldn't see it. I can't understand that... Giuliano can.
Is Rosgar a villain? Is Giuliano a villain? There was a struggle deep in Aliena's eyes, and the word "choice" seemed to tear her soul in two.
Kudelia raised the gun, aimed at Giuliano's heart and pulled the trigger.
"Boom." The gun rang. This time the bullet missed the ground and was nailed precisely into Giuliano's chest. Take his life and his pain, and his sins.
"Treachery is an unforgivable sin." Even if things develop to this point, even if Giuliano says everything,
Kudelia still can't say a soft word, she is still so mean.
It's just... She didn't kill the staff on the first floor, but turned around and walked towards the door. When she passed by Tang Yun, she whispered something again. "Thanks."
Unlike the first meeting, this "thank you" is very sincere.
Aliena was woken up by the gunshots, closed Giuliano's eyes with her hand, sighed softly as if saying goodbye to someone, and left the bridge behind Kudelia.
Their steps are heavy, but their hearts are even heavier.
On the way to the Tigris they had a lot of hatred, a lot of anger, but in the end. These hatreds and angers are like clouds of smoke dispersed by the wind, without a trace, but with more melancholy and sadness.
Kudelia thought a lot... and suddenly understood her uncle's love for her father. It is as thick and reliable as the Tianfeng supporting the sky. She also thought of the old man's love for her, sometimes very strict, like a qualified father, sometimes very nagging, like a nagging mother.
Then, she smiled, a very warm smile.
Tang Yun patted Freya, who looked listless, and took her hand to walk back. This was the first time she experienced this kind of thing, and it was also the first time she experienced the feelings Tang Fang had experienced many times. A little heavy, a little sad.
After Giuliano's death. Those emotions of anger and disdain are like the few fine sands in an hourglass, which are quickly drawn away by the gravity of the planet. Kudelia made her choice. The accountability for betrayal also comes to an end. Although it is not perfect, it is very complete, just like life.
Freya's hand was a little cold, like a pool of water in early autumn, not refreshing, very graceful.
"If big brother was here, what would he do... Kudelia is really a good person."
Freya glanced at her sideways and said, "Freya doesn't like her."
"Then do you like Zhou Ai?"
Freya shook her head, then nodded again, and said seriously: "Tang Fang likes it, so I do."
Tang Yun was very speechless about this... and felt that Freya did not recover her memory, did not become a dull gourd like Tang Lin, but simply looked like a little girl who didn't grow up, maybe it was a lucky thing.
Now she has no hatred, no anger, no painful memories, she is simply attached to Tang Fang, and lives a heartless life, which is really enviable.
"Actually... Kudelia was just being mean."
Freya's belly cries interrupted her daydream, so she put aside those heavy thoughts and topics, squinted her eyes and said, "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah." The girl rubbed her belly and said.
"I'll treat you to ice cream, as long as you don't tell Big Brother about it..."
Freya shook her head vigorously, "It's wrong to lie, Tang Fang will punish me severely."
"Are you kidding me? Big brother is willing to punish you?" Tang Yun put her hands on the girl's creaking nest with a threatening face, "If you dare to tell big brother about this, what will happen... Hmph."
The girl shrank back, pouted and said, "Woo... If Tang Fang finds out, he will spank my ass."
Tang Yun reached over, slapped her pointed buttocks, and twisted her hard, "Is that so?"
Freya thought for a while, then shook her head, "You don't feel comfortable beating..."
"I'm not comfortable beating." Tang Yun squinted her eyes, "Brother is beating comfortably?"
"Yes, yes."
"This guy who runs the train with his mouth full of words." Tang Yun said angrily, "He's obviously an old driver, but he always says he's a 'novice on the road'."
"What is an old driver?" Freya looked curious.
Tang Yun responded casually: "The old driver is someone who is good at sailing."
Freya said, "Then I am also an old driver."
Tang Yun gave her a gouged look, and said to her heart that you are not an old driver, you are an old driver... the car pushed.
………………
Kudelia, Tang Yun and the others walked a long distance before Sephiroth and Kentaro put away their guns, glanced indifferently at the faces of the staff in the equipment pool on the first floor, and then turned and left.
"If it were me, I would definitely not let them go."
"It's a pity you're not her." Sephiroth sighed heavily.
"I don't understand why Kudelia forgave them... You must know that those guys are not merciless in killing their former comrades in arms."
"There are many things in this world that we can't understand. That is Kudelia's choice... The soldiers of the 23rd Ranger Regiment chose to sacrifice their lives for her. She chose to let those people on the first floor go..."
"How come you are just like that little girl, saying some inexplicable things."
Sephiroth shrugged. There was no response, so he stepped forward faster. Ken Tairo snorted coldly and dodged to catch up.
The lights in the corridor no longer flickered, and the brightness returned to normal, casting a bright white light on the bulkhead, but the frozen blood on the ground became darker and darker.
………………
When Tang Yun defined the term "old driver" for Freya, on the other side of the Khanos star system, Captain Tang sneezed twice in a row. Withdrawing his gaze from the direction of Tektronix, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
The space outside the glass window is wiped with floating flashes, which are the wreckage of the towage ship in the airspace near the Sais naval port. In a closer place, one warship after another shuttled past, silently, but as heavy as a mountain.
Elena and Kyrenia sat on the rattan chair by the pool. The former frowned, as if thinking about something, while the latter looked haggard, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. Looks like he hasn't recovered from his previous experience,
She is strong, just like her father. He is a good boy who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. But she is only a child after all, today's events have given her too many shocks, the pressure from the war, from the souls of the dead, and from the responsibility has not yet crushed her body and spirit, which is already very commendable.
Kyrenia didn't want her to participate in this conversation, but the stubborn girl said that it was her responsibility and obligation. Since he chose to take this road, he would not stop because of the roughness and mud ahead.
then. She came here to experience the aftermath of the war head-on.
Vivi fell into her arms. Different from before, quiet like a doll.
Opposite Elena and Kyrenia. It was Gilcott with an expressionless face and Henrietta with deep eyes.
On the wooden table between the four wicker chairs, the Spirit Realm system projected data, video after scene, and reports from the local magistrates.
With Oscar, Antley, Sliffin and others present, these trivial matters do not need to be handled by the two of them personally. They just use the data network to understand the situation of Kahanos.
Griwald has already contacted Seth Naval Port, and is cooperating with internal forces to clean up the remnants of the warp speed interception network on the first layer. At the same time, martial law is being implemented to prevent greater turmoil within the Kehanos system and cause more bloodshed. event.
After losing the leadership of Anthem Will, Elizabeth, and the princes, the members of the new faction who stayed in Kehanos fled to death, and now there are very few left. The exclusive intelligence department of the old faction is hunting down those officials of the new faction who did not take advantage of the chaos to leave. The Khanos war has entered the final finishing process, and next... If Henrietta is ruthless enough, there may be a big purge in the political arena of the United Kingdom of Turancus.
It's brutal, but fair.
Gilcott stood up from the wicker chair he made himself, walked to Tang Fang, looked at the brightly lit Seth naval port, and the warships with various injuries at the pier, and said in a low voice, "It's over..."
His body exuded a smell of sweat, not heavy, and naturally not pungent, but it did not match the expensive suit, white shirt, bright tie, and prince status.
But at this moment. No one would care whether his body was fragrant or sweaty. Anthem Will's death represents the end of an era. Tomorrow, the United Kingdom of Turanx will usher in a new starting point. It may be full of killings and bloodshed, but... for many people, at least they can see hope.
"No, this is just the beginning." Tang Fang turned around, leaned against the railing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at Elena's mournful profile, and said, "The future...maybe more difficult than when Praiseville was here."
Gilcott knew what he meant, and Henrietta was determined to support Cyke Bacal, Elena, Cui Enhao and others to carry out reforms in the United Kingdom of Turanx, but it did not mean that other members of the royal family had no objections.
The Olipold family is not only Hymn Will and Henrietta, but also many royal family members who rely on the royal power to make a fortune. The old prince Arnasi also escaped from Kehanos before, and Allen and Mielson took the The famous "Scorpio" also escaped safely, not to mention that in addition to the royal family, lords with different surnames control nearly 60% of the country.
If they engage in tricks of obedience and disobedience, or even vigorously resist reforms, resulting in a situation where government orders are difficult to get out of Khanos, then the ideals of Elena and others will become illusory, and Henrietta will lose her prestige and status. Ushering in criticism from all over the country... because the people are so easy to deceive. As a politician, he knows very well that the propaganda department has ten thousand ways to fool them and confuse the public.
Since ancient times, not many reformers have had a good end. They were either persecuted to death by vested interests, or their reform ideas ended without a problem.
The visible enemy is not to be feared, but the invisible enemy is to be feared.
Praise Will is the enemy seen...interest groups are the enemy invisible. Hymn Will is a symbol of kingship, but kingship is a puppet of this vested interest group.
Therefore, even if Henrietta and herself support him, they will persuade the people around him to support him, but it does not mean that the next thing will go smoothly.
So, like Tang Fang said, this is not the end, this is just the beginning.
"Actually... What Kylenia said is quite right. You need to make an example and kill Edwina, Li Yun and others in a quick way. In this way, the resistance will be much smaller."
Tang Fang didn't speak, but looked at Kyrenia who got up and walked and sighed.
"I know what you are hesitating." She walked to the other side of him, leaning on the railing with her slender palms, looking at the flashes of light in the distance like Gilcott: "Sometimes I am very strange, since you once Served in the military for 6 years, life and death should be taken lightly. But the truth is, you are too soft-hearted... kindness is a necessary quality of an enlightened leader, but too much kindness makes you weak , so that you are afraid of your hands and feet... You should be a long sword that splits mountains, not a treasured sword that hides the front in the box."
"Only punish the chief evildoers, and leave the rest alone... This is the usual method of control used by those who have won the country in the past dynasties. Eliminate the core members of the new faction, stabilize those local lords, and then divide and win over the middle faction with aggressive tactics. Eliminate the opposition by force, and in this way, the road to reform will be much easier.”
