The sadness in Elux’s eyes gradually turned into coldness, “You are feeling that the h for me to betray my holy convictions? You misunderstand This alone would still be insufficient to cause these changes in ht, you should understand that the Scion of Light is the one chosen by the Goddess of Light, and the resolve he has as such However, the one to betray me was not princess Fulo alone, but this whole world
“Through the Escape Scroll, I broke away froreat chilliness fill me at that time The beautiful parts of my heart disappeared with Fulo’s betrayal, but even so, I couldn’t bring myself to hate her at that tiood parts no matter what That black clad uess thatthat, and was coh I was clearly aware that, as the princess, it was almost impossible that there could be anyone who could coerce her, I still wanted to keep this way of thinking At that time, I was just really too foolish
“Fulo’s stab was aiht at my left chest, but she didn’t know that unlike an ordinary person, h her poisonous dagger caused heavy wounds in reat difficulty, finding a hollow tree to treat otten in radually eliht essence
“This process was painful and long, but I knew very clearly that even if I wanted Fulo to clarify all this, I had to first wait for my body to recover entirely for that I heard a lot of brouhaha outside the hollow tree in the process, as if large armies were transferred around But at that time, I did not expect the reasons for these armies to be deployed
“It took two entire et better, and my cultivation to recover I stealthily exited the hollow tree to return back to the eates, a thunderous scene caht
“A very clear announceht nearby the city gate, in which ritten: ‘The duke of the empire, Elux, who attacked the princess Fulo to steal a powerfulher to sustain heavy injuries, is wanted for the crime of treason Their whole faet death penalties Every coet rewarded with ten thousand gold coins’
“I absolutely didn’t expect theus accusations Furthermore, this announce There was also an announcenating me as a heretic corrupted by darkness
“At that tiradually come back to my senses I loved Fulo deeply, but I wasn’t a total idiot If I hadn’t realized this huge plot aiainst me at that time, I wouldn’t be fit to be the inheritor of the identity of Scion of Light I i at that ti His Majesty and the church; to prove my innocence The key element to this proof lay in Fulo, which is why I went to look for her to make it clear
“Perhaps it was because several years had passed, or perhaps because I was thought to have died froencyto the e at these forht, I stealthily infiltrated into the royal palace, still extre a cultivation reaching the eighth step, I had nu into Fulo’s quarters, I saw another man there The son of the Supre, and that was in Fulo’s bedroouesses about the relationship between the to believe it But when I clearly heard the contents of their discussion, I finally realized how stupid I was, and the extent of that plot
“Back then, Fulo questioned Pelo on why they hadn’t found me, and he replied that he had alreadywith the Empire’s forces to find traces of me, dead or alive That martial technique in radually constructed it all from the clues I heard in the midst of their conversation It turned out that as early as when I was out for a few years, Pelo had alreadytwo purposes inme into the Glorious Church with the Emperor, and the second, to chase after Fulo
“At first, His Majesty had no interest in enticingcountlessso materialistic, due to his flowery speed and the appeal of the numerous martial techniques and pills at the disposal of the Glorious Church, she finally gave in to his continuous offenses Pero ht would be a threat to the Glorious Church, hence the Church needed absolutely to get rid of me, to make sure of their eternal rule at the time he would becoinally, Fulo still had sohness the will of the Glorious Church to support their e the continent Moreover, he proive her all the martial techniques from me for her to learn Both the royal family and Fulo were finally ensnared by the benefits that hile I became the sacrifice for all these benefits to be obtained
“This was supposed to be a perfect plan: by taking advantage of the trip I took with Fulo to ath, and then on the way back, Fulo would take advantage ofit hardly possibly for me to escape At that time, they would only need to kill me and report me as a betrayer to the Empire and the Church, so that even despite my reputation as the pride of the empire, the truth behind this conspiracy would rapidly be drowned
“I hated them bitterly; I never expected my hoether At that time, my brain went blank, and as Fulo and Pero were in theout, I suddenly rushed in and launched fatal attacks against theh they were top figures of the younger generation, there was a significant gap in our strengths, and this was moreover a situation of a Pelo seriously while suppressing Fulo with e aathered as a result, they did not dare act rashly as I held Fulo and Pelo as hostages at that time
“Then I questioned Fulo, ‘Why did you have to do this tome for her survival then, but I had already heard all their previous conversation! How could I still trust in her words after that? At that tiht was take to them doith myself The former me was incredibly proud At that time, I had been reduced to the position of traitor to the nation, co no more attach couple with me
“But that Pelo was, after all, the son of the pope, having ht when I was prepared to take them doith myself, he used extraordinary et seriously wounded And, in the end, as I couldn’t bear to ainst Fulo, I could only choose to escape the encircle in the capital, covered in bruises after a narrow escape
“Immediately, the E for traces of ar that I formerly saved that I luckily escaped their chase But as I was just done healing ht ritted his teeth and declared, “They knew that I was concealed in the Empire, which is why they released an announce the traitor’s faet blood-red colored as His Highness passed down the execution order in front of theoff ht in ine?
