King's Landing Second Element

He broke into his home without warning. The tax officer only heard a few screams from the guards from his house. He didn't even have time to get off the woman's belly. Uninvited guests broke in and came to his bedroom.

"Tax officer Rick, you have been arrested for being involved in bribery. Just wait to be beheaded, hahahaha!"

Among the three uninvited guests, the tallest man roared like a beast, and the tax officer turned pale with fright.

"Okay, Daidas, don't startle the target, be quiet."

The headed middle-aged stopped the laughter of the burly man who was called Daidas. The middle-aged man looked upright, like a battlefield battlefield leader, not angry, but at least he could speak better than the rude burly man. .

"You, who are you guys, why are you going to my mansion at night."

Tax officer Rick suppressed the fear in his heart and tried to ask.

He had heard that the emperor had recently had a killer organization targeting bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen, which appeared at night. So far, many colleagues have been assassinated. What Rick is most worried about is these killers. They are desperadoes who kill people without blinking. Will reason with you.

"We are the Three Beasts under General Asides. We are ordered to arrest you. According to the investigation, you are suspected of bribery of a large amount and deducted imperial taxes, so you can only come with us."

"General Ai, Asides...Guru!"

Hearing the middle-aged self-introduction, Rick was suddenly shocked and sweating.

The strongest general in the empire, General Esdes, who returned triumphantly from the northern border suppressing foreign nations, did have three powerful imperial emissaries under her command, known as the "three beasts." Doubt the origin of these three people.

Moreover, his bribery and tax evasion are not secrets at all. They can be found out with a little investigation, but what makes him surprised is that the imperial capital has many corrupt officials like him, why the famous "three beasts" would Find him overnight?

"Don't pretend to be there and tell you that your guards have been killed by us because of resistance. If you dare not cooperate, use the torture method that the general gave us to let you taste it and let you know what it is. living hell."

"No, no! I dare not! I will cooperate! I must!"

The tax officer, who was frightened by the threat of the burly man, knelt down and responded loudly.

He didn't want to be tortured unexplainably. If he was arrested and sent to jail, he would be taken care of by the tax minister above, and he still had hope, but if he offended General Esders, he would not know how he died.

"We came here this time for another purpose. As long as you can cooperate, we will give you a chance to redeem your sins. This is what General Esdes meant. I hope you can grasp it and don't dig your own grave."

Chapter 0238

The southern fortress guarded the city. After Ye returned here, he immediately took Cynthia to the room where Taeko and Cornelia were trained. The mental trauma could not be recovered in a few days, and after that incident, The two of them were very worried. Although they weren't to the point where they didn't want to think about food, they were obviously more haggard.

In particular, Cornelia has a sad face every day. After these days, the whole person has lost weight, and the mental state is very bad. If it continues, it is likely to be crippled and eventually become ill.

But now, their concerns have been completely brought up.

"...!"

There are only five people in the room. In addition to Taeko and Cornelia, there are Tsukushi, Ye, and Cynthia.

At this moment, except for Ye, the three of Taeko and the others were all pale, staring at Cynthia in a daze.

Their lips were trembling, no one could speak, and the three pairs of beautiful eyes shone with incomparably complex brilliance.

"Sorry, I saved you only because you were valuable in the first place, and the master was right. After I rescued you, I left a spiritual imprint in your body. As long as within a certain range, I can pass this imprint to You control, this is a special ability of mine, the same as the healing ability to save you."

Cynthia knelt at Ye's feet, like the lowest pet, with a silver collar around her neck.

She closed her eyes tightly, her beautiful face was bloodless, as gray as paper, she seemed to be completely heartbroken, and there was a desperate silence all over her body. Even if she apologized to Taeko and the others, she looked dry and stiff, like A doll that has lost its soul.

"why?"

Taeko murmured three words from her mouth, her eyes flashing with pain and sadness.

She never doubted that Cynthia was her benefactor who saved her. Not only she, but Cornelia and Tsukushi also believed in them. They could not forget Cynthia’s voice, let alone the familiar feeling, the ethereal aura in her body. , Unique in the world.

The moment Ye brought Cynthia into the room, they had already determined her identity, but they had never thought about it that the mysterious revolutionary figure was a girl about their age.

"Do you really only treat us as chess pieces for the revolutionary army?"

Tsukushi couldn't help but asked with difficulty. Her expression was even a bit bitter. If Cynthia nodded, all the gratitude in her heart would turn into anger and resentment, not only for herself, but more for Cole. Nelia and the others are not equal.

For this benefactor, the three of them are willing to endure cynicism in the revolutionary army, willing to incarnate as the killer Shura, and let themselves be stained with blood. If it were not for this benefactor, they would not have to suffer that kind of mental torment, and even almost caused it to be irreparable. The consequence of this, everything of this originated from the benefactor who saved them.

"Sorry."

"You, do you just say sorry!? You saved us, I really appreciate you, and gave us a chance to be born again, so that we can let go of our grievances and become friends, but why did you do that? We almost Just kill your own friends! It doesn't matter if you use us and treat us as pawns, but you let us kill each other, why did you save us in the first place!?"

Cornelia, who had always been gentle and elegant, kept calm, suddenly cried and questioned as if stimulated.

Facing Cornelia's painful questioning, Cynthia trembled slightly.

However, she still lowered her head and didn't give herself any self.

"Sorry, you hate me, blame me, and curse me. If the master allows you, you can kill me."

"you……"

Cornelia trembled with anger and blood surged.

She pointed at Cynthia with a pale face, and was speechless for a long time. Finally, after many days of mental pressure, coupled with this strong impact, Cornelia turned her eyes and fainted.

"Sister Cole!?"

"Cole!"

Tsukushi screamed, but Taeko was the first step to hold Cornelia, and they looked worried.

"We have died once for the revolutionary army! So the life we ​​owe you has been paid! From now on, we have nothing to do with you, and the revolutionary army! Master, please save sister Keer, I miss her I must also be completely disappointed with the revolutionary army! Sister Keer will definitely be with her master in the future, so please save her!"

Cole's fall finally caused Tsukushi to explode. She stared at Cynthia angrily, gritted her teeth and cut off Kinyi, and finally put on an expression of worry and whispered to Ye.

"The kindness we owe you, what we have done for the revolutionary army in these years, is enough to offset most of it. Whatever owes you, I will pay for it. You can take my life back anytime. As long as you speak, I don't hesitate Just commit suicide. But you must remove the spiritual imprint on us. From now on, we will never help you or the revolutionary army to do anything."

Taeko also made a decision with a cold face. She was not an indecisive person. At the beginning, for the task, she had no mercy at the friend Cornelia she had just met with a sword, and cut her mercilessly, showing her heart. Of firmness.

"General Ye, I hope you can save Cole. I can do anything for you before being taken back. This is my oath."

After ending her grudge with Cynthia, Taeko bowed her head to Ye for the first time.

Although she is usually silent and expressionless, her inner firmness is not worse than that of the red pupils, or even worse.

The person who makes her really willing to bow her head is the object she delivers to her body and mind. She has always done what she said.

Ye Jing looked at everything quietly, without saying a word.

After a long time, he got up from his seat and walked slowly in front of Taeko and the others.

He stared at them condescendingly, his amber eyes flowing with inexplicable light.
