Chapter 379. The Premise of The Deal
[The Queen's Crown: Jealousy]
The contract from the Queen granted the holder of the crown the command authority once a day.
Both parties bound by the contract can be teleported once.
Type of teleportation: non-magic [Cooldown time: 1 natural day]
[Crown Seal: rejects all contracts of the opposite sex.]
[Current contract expired: young girl's crown-redemption.]
This was the upgraded version of the Lucia actively releasing the girl's crown.
As for the latter, it was the "delayed 12 hours of opposite sex debuff purification effect from Evelyn.
Strictly speaking, there was no difference between the two. It was a fair competition, and the Queen's crown itself was a debuff.
In other words, if Evelyn's redemption could take effect immediately, then she would have won. Unfortunately. due to the delayed removal characteristic, the result was the opposite. It was suppressed instead...
It was because of jealousy. [Jealousy] was more powerful than [Salvation].
"Is there any way to remove this?"
Char asked Mitsuya in his mind.
However, he regretted it as soon as he asked.
"I don't know."
Sigh, it was a waste of effort.
The Goddess's answer was as expected.
"But I think... We can try the previous method?" She suddenly added.
"Eh? What is it?" Char asked.
"It's the method you used to resist the 'handcuffs of the mad man."
"You're saying that the 'Queen's crown' is a curse? "
"No, it's of a higher level than the curse, but it's still not as close as the originalist's. authority."
"Oh ... I understand."
Char stared at the crown on the back of her hand for a few seconds before taking a deep breath.
The "Tinder of The Origin" suddenly appeared in his hand in the shape of a dagger. He immediately turned it around and stabbed it at the dark rose pattern!
At the same time, the classic sorcerer's verbal cleansing skill was activated!
Lucia's sly smile disappeared.
Some of the Dark Elf Queen's authority was indeed related to authority, but she could smell a special scent from the dagger that made her heart tremble. The waves from Char's body were actually trying to pry open the crown seal!
She suddenly panicked!
If this broke the bond between the two of them, then she would no longer be able to make the other party believe her... She would rather die than face this situation!
Lucia grabbed the dagger without a care.
She wore a ring on each of her hands, and the silk threads that were emitted from them interweaved like a pair of gloves as thin as cicada's wings. They firmly blocked the sword.
Because this was a slow skill and not a defense skill, the Tinder of the Origin's defense ignore effect did not take effect. Otherwise, she would have at least had her fingers cut off.
However, because it was not a defense, Lucia's finger was inevitably cut, and blood flowed down the invisible dagger, making the scene look a lot more miserable.
I just want you to believe me so that you can live. I don't mean anything else...
She pleaded with a sobbing tone.
Char sighed in his heart and held back his strength.
He really could not stand it.
Lucia in front of him was completely different from the past... If this was a charm skill, he was not ready to resist.
If this was her real self... Then he really could not do it.
"It's not that we can't cooperate, but there's a condition, and I don't like such a method. If you can, please keep it," Char said.
"Why... Why did you reject me?" Lucia continued to plead.
"You're really disgusting like this. It's not the first time I've seen you," Char sighed. "Do you have to act like this?"
Lucia's expression immediately changed to one of disgust.
"Hypocrite! Don't tell me you've forgotten how you treated me in the past?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten."
Hearing her admit that she had recovered some of her memories, Char was relieved. He spread his hands and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with that. In the past, you were strong, and I was weak. I was chased away by your forces and hid here and there like a stray dog. Have you ever shown me mercy? Have I ever condemned you? I don't think so, Your majesty.
"What about now? When you were strong and I was weak, you tried to use me. Now, it's the other way around. You're using tricks to threaten me. I understand this very well. I firmly believe that the weaker side should use all means possible. I even feel a little happy that I've met my match. Then, I successfully resolved your threat and showed enough mercy, but what was the result?
"After that, I approached and blackmailed you through various means. The situation became that I was stronger and you were weaker. I didn't have any extra mercy to 'repay' you. I have a clear conscience.
"What about now? When you were strong and I was weak, you tried to use me. Now, it's the other way around. You're using tricks to threaten me. I understand this very well. I firmly believe that the weaker side should use all means possible. I even feel a little happy that I've met my match. Then, I successfully resolved your threat and showed enough mercy, but what was the result? It's your turn to put on a weak stance and condemn me? Don't you think that there's a double standard?"
Lucia was silent for a minute, and after confirming that Char would not listen to anything, he asked.
"What's the prerequisite you're talking about?"
"You need to apologize to Evelyn. "I'll apologize sincerely from the bottom of my heart," Char said without hesitation.
"Impossible"
"Why should I apologize?!" Lucia said angrily. "What did I do wrong? I used my own methods to ascend the throne, and she also obtained the freedom she had dreamed of. This is a reasonable deal for both of us, so why should I apologize?"
"Reasonable? Do you think this is reasonable?" Char laughed and said, "Deception and betrayal. She always thought that you were her light, but you slandered her behind her back and hurt her with bad words. Do you think this is reasonable You were the one who hurt her."
"If you didn't tell her the truth, then this wouldn't be considered harm at all. She would always remember the perfect Lucia in her memory, and not me! Besides, do you really think she didn't hurt me?" Lucia's voice suddenly became hoarse, like a cat with its fur standing on end. "She's as brilliant as the sun, but I'm like a moth. I can only keep getting closer to her, and then I'll be burned... I can't resist this summoning at all. Is she not in the wrong?"
"Why do you think she's willing to be friends with me? Isn't it because she's more beautiful, more outstanding, more powerful, and has a purer bloodline than me? Char, you don't understand Dark Elves, and you don't understand women! She didn't need a friend at all. She just needed a follower to set off her beauty and to show her mercy, kindness, and elegance at all times!
Char was shocked. that's f*cking ridiculous. What do you mean she's too outstanding and that's why she's hurting you?"
"Why do you think she's willing to be friends with me? Isn't it because she's more beautiful, more outstanding, more powerful, and has a purer bloodline than me? Shaya, you don't understand Dark Elves, and you don't understand women! She didn't need a friend at all. She just needed a follower to set off her beauty and to show her mercy, kindness, and elegance at all times! I'm the one!"
Char was stunned as he listened to her roar. He looked at her face that was so close to her that it looked like a devil. She roared hysterically, resentfully, cursed, and went crazy with jealousy...
He seemed to have gotten to know her all over again.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to know nothing about her past.
It had always been like this.
This woman seemed to be a hurdle in Evelyn's life. Once Evelyn passed, the hurdle lost its meaning and disappeared from his sight.
If she did not, then he would take the initiative to get rid of this obstacle and let her go over...
It was as if she was just a scene, not a living creature, without her own will, without interaction with the characters, and only appeared with the main characters, and left with them.
However, after this round and her sudden awakening, she had a different image... A weirdo with three views and an incurable idiot.
Char did not think that anyone was born like this. Those who looked beyond saving, those who looked crazy, might have been through some kind of terrible stimulation.
He could understand, but he might not accept it.
He would not accept, forgive, or be generous on behalf of others because that would be stupid and arrogant. This was also the attitude he had adopted regarding Lucia's incident.
He did not directly reveal the truth to her. He only revealed the truth bit by bit so that she could be mentally prepared and slowly let go of the knot in her heart. As for the final result, it still needed time. However, on the other side of the matter, he suddenly saw a different problem.
This was what Lucia thought?
It was as if she had never seen the light, and she did not believe in warmth.
No one had ever mentioned her past, not even herself, and he had never searched for it.
What kind of environment and past could create such twisted and vengeful thoughts and ideas?
"So, you think her sympathy is a kind of arrogance?" He asked, "Even if she didn't do anything and just stood there quietly like the sun, as you said... It's also a mistake?"
Lucia was stunned and then fell silent.
She did not say it, but Char knew that was what she was thinking.
"Alright, I promise to take you out."
Char snapped his fingers and let the matter pass.
"Let's talk about how we can escape."
