Chapter 446 Forced

I don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune to meet a cynical and unambitious heir like Rodney.

However, being born into a royal family, some things cannot be controlled by one's own control. Even if Rodney has no ambition, he will not end well in the end.

In order to make him understand all this, I took him to a place alone and turned on the preaching mode.

After some preaching, Rodney smiled. He told me that he knew early on that his brother would be detrimental to him, and since he had no support from any powerful forces, sooner or later he would become an obstacle on his brother's road to the throne. Bones.

That's why he entrusted his sister to me, and because of this, he wanted to spend more time with his cousins ​​and have more fun.

Regarding his self-defeating explanation, I was very helpless. After being silent for a while, I said: "If you fight hard, some things may not be possible, but if you don't even have the courage to fight, you will definitely fail."

"So, don't say I'm heartless. I never promised you from the beginning." I said calmly: "You still have to protect your own sister."

After that, he turned around and left.

Before I had taken ten steps, Rodney rushed over, grabbed me, and said with a bitter look on his face: "How could you do this? I just want you to protect her life. I have no other request!"

"Sorry, I can't help." My expression was very indifferent and my voice was very cold.

"Please, can you?" Rodney begged, "I don't have many friends left who I can trust."

"Do you still consider me a friend?" I asked.

"Yes, I have always regarded you as a friend," Rodney said, "The best kind!"

"Haha" I sneered: "If you really regard me as your best friend, then why don't you believe what I say? And why don't you consider my persuasion? You are willing to be like a pig waiting to be slaughtered. Waiting for your brother’s butcher knife to fall?”

"Then what else can I do!" Rodney's expression was very sad: "The eldest brother controls most of the nobles and powerful officials, and the second brother controls most of the guilds and wealthy businessmen. What resources can I use? What else? Can you compete with them for the position of city lord?"

"Who said you have nothing?" I said hoarsely, "Don't you still have me? Aren't we friends?"

"You?" Rodney shook his head repeatedly: "I know you are very powerful, but you alone cannot help me seize the throne. Therefore, I still hope that you can promise me to protect the safety of my sister, at least let me The family has left a line of blood.”

"Since you don't believe me, forget it." I shook my head in disappointment: "I still say what I said, it's up to you to protect your own sister. I'm just an outsider, so forgive me for not being able to help."

"Wait, wait a minute!" Rodney quickly stood in front of me and said, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Hey? Do you know what to do if you ask me? What were you thinking about just now?"

Rodney sighed and said helplessly: "Actually, I never wanted to ask. Isn't it because you forced me to have no choice?"

"Please remember," I said, "You were not forced by me, but by your two brothers. You must bear grudges. Bear grudges against them. I just want to help you continue to live."

Seeing Rodney nod, I added, "You have to think about it carefully. Once you choose to ask me to help you, you can never look back."

He nodded again.

"Not only can't you look back, but you may also do things that make you feel bored or even disgusted." I said lightly: "Maybe, there are also things that will make you painful."

Rodney hesitated and nodded again.

"Even when necessary, you need to kill your two brothers with your own hands." I said coldly: "Listen up, it is you who kills them yourself, not someone else."

"Why, why?" Rodney looked embarrassed.

"This is the only way for you to become a city lord," I said, "Don't worry, your two brothers' paths are exactly the same as yours. The only difference is that they are already ready to kill the other two brothers. "

"But I, I don't want to."

"There are many things you don't want to do, but if you can't convince yourself to kill your own brother, you will never have to worry about what you want or don't want to do in the future." I said coldly: "Because you are already dead, of course. If you die, your sister won't live long. Believe me, your brothers must know how to eradicate the root cause."

"me"

Rodney said "I" for a while, but he didn't say a complete sentence. He hesitated for a long time, and I even became a little impatient. Then he said: "I, I don't think I can do it."

"You really can't go down?" I raised my eyebrows: "You have to think about it, this issue is not only related to your life, but also the lives of your sister and even a lot of your cousins."

"Give me some time to think about it, okay?"

"Of course" I said: "Don't talk about some time. You always have time before you really need to make a decision. Don't worry, I won't force you, but you still have to think about it yourself. Once you decide, don't make any more decisions." If you change your mind, no one can help you."

Rodney nodded.

After taking him back to the twelfth floor, I still put on a smile, but Rodney couldn't smile anymore, and there was a lingering tangle between his eyebrows.

Eva seemed to notice something was wrong with her brother and wanted to ask something, but Rodney shook his head and refused.

Seeing him become distressed all of a sudden, as a friend, I felt uncomfortable. However, he must bear what he should bear, whether it is future power and wealth, or pain and twists and turns.

This is almost everything that happened this month. Of course, the most important thing is that Phoenix, Cagalli and others have reached level six, which means that they can enter the next level of space, and On the contrary, it is time for the promises I made to be fulfilled.

In other words, the days of single brushing are over.

Early in the morning, I didn't wash up and go out as usual. Instead, after washing, I sat quietly at the door, teasing Xiao Zhi, who had also just gotten up.

This beetle monster, which was about the same size as me at first, has now grown to waist height, and its body has grown to half a meter in length.

When you turn over and lie down on its back, it feels like lying on a hard, heated bed. If you spread a blanket, it won't be a problem for two or three people to sleep.

"I didn't expect you to grow so big!" I patted its back and laughed.

Xiao Zhi squeaked proudly, raised his front paws, and started dancing, looking like "I'm really awesome."

Suddenly, I remembered the first time I met Xiao Zhi, so I said, "Xiao Zhi, do you have any news about the female beetle monster you took a photo of before?"

Xiaozhi lowered his head sadly and let out an extremely disappointed squeak.

"Did he run away with someone else? Did you find him?" I asked.

Xiao Zhi waved his horns.

"Has it become ugly? Don't you care about it anymore?" I asked again.

It wiggled its horns again.

"Could it be that" I lowered my voice and said solemnly, "it died?"

Xiao Zhi squeaked, but still waved his horns.

Me: "You're so lost if you don't die. Come back and I'll help you catch up!"

Xiaozhi raised his head, glanced at me, and squeaked excitedly.

At the same time, a woman's roar came from the room: "What are you calling one person and one insect so early in the morning! You're not letting anyone have a good night's sleep!"

I, Xiaozhi: (⊙﹏⊙)b
