Chapter 414. Acting
For Joshua, this was a single-choice question.
He had also wisely chosen not to be arrogant, but to temporarily abandon his dignity and choose to live.
After all, it was not embarrassing to be loyal to the Queen.
He consoled himself.
However, more than that, they looked at Char with vigilance.
What was this guy trying to do?
At first, he thought that the other party was just a Jester who knelt under the pogranate skirt of the pavilion, and that he had more ans than others. It seed that he had more tricks up his sleeve...
That was a hundred million points.
This kind of person was definitely not soone that Lucia could deal with easily, and the other party was definitely not acting to carry out Lucia's will.
"Let's exchange information, Your Highness."
Char pointed outside the tunnel.
"The sll here is too bad. It's not a good place to talk. Why don't we go there?"
Joshua raised his eyebrows.
"You guys..."
Char shrugged. just like how you solved the problem inside. "We've also taken care of the outside. You should be glad that the soundproofing here is very good, so the noise hasn't been heard from the outside. There are at least 40 minutes left before the safe ti of one hour. We have enough ti to talk."
Since Joshua dared to break out of the prison and was not worried about being exposed on the other side of the tunnel, it ant that he had bought enough ti for his escape.
In other words, he was definitely not in a hurry to escape.
Char's goal was not as simple as just running away. He mainly wanted to go in and see what Prisilia was doing-other than doing sothing like f*cking n.
Of course, it would be best if he could ruin her plan.
After all, his goal had never been to simply complete a certain mission, just like what the famous scumbag Allie said, since he was looking for excitent, he might as well be more thorough.
Hearing this, the corners of Joshua's mouth twitched, but he did not refute.
It was just as Char had thought. He had bought himself two hours to escape, which was definitely enough.
What was worse was that even if he wanted to run, the other party would not let him...
The three of them returned to the calm underground river.
However, this ti, the shimring surface of the water was no longer poetic, but a turbulent undercurrent under the calm surface.
"I'll start first."
The Prince clearly had a clear understanding of the current situation and was very tactful.
After being sent back to the main force as a "corpse," Prince Joshua quickly woke up.
His mind was filled with the woman that Char had ntioned repeatedly, Prisillia, so he imdiately brought his n to look for her personally.
At that ti, the Prince still had the confidence to control everything...
Until he was slapped in the face by the truth.
Previously. when ir died at the hands of Char, as a powerful noble, his death should have provided Char with a generous reward of material and reputation. However. in fact, what Char got was no different from killing a soldier...
The answer was also obtained from Joshua.
Before Char killed him, ir had already betrayed him.
The latter's unusual actions in front of the two armies showed that he was not willing to share the cake with one more person, but he was also forced to do so.
He had long been taken over by prisilia's subjects and beca the commander of the light pole. Killing such a commander would not be recognized by the system, so the rewards were pitifully few.
If he didn't want to die, he could only betray his old friend, Joshua.
Now, it seed that Prisilia's thod of killing with a borrowed knife was really ingenious. If Joshua died because of Char, it would be purely an accident. Those who originally obeyed him would naturally not target anyone other than Char. Instead, they would turn to ir. The latter had already submitted to Prisilia, so the change of power was like pushing a boat with the current.
Unfortunately, Char had interfered, and the plan had failed, and they had even lost to ir.
ir was insignificant, but his death had aroused the suspicion of so people, including those who were absolutely loyal to Joshua
Therefore, when jobuya led the group of people to face Prisilia, the group that was originally united as a steel plate was now in opposition.
Only then did he realize how many people this guy had secretly won over.
Logically speaking, with the story developing to this point, there should have been a good show of a coup, but the result was as simple as kicking over a child's pile of sand.
That was because ivanshid had appeared.
This monster. who had t the pavilion several tis and should have died. long ti ago, was resurrected. In an oppressive and suffocating silence, it killed dozens of soldier leaders who took orders from Joshua, almost cutting off half of the latter's wings...
Taking advantage of the fact that the giant's PTSD had yet to fully recover, he turned the frightened soldiers into weaklings and instantly dominated the situation.
At that ti, Joshua was negotiating with Prisilia in the tent. If it wasn't for the latter's clumsy way of stalling for ti, which made him realize that sothing was wrong and flip the table on the spot, Char probably wouldn't be able to see the living Joshua.
However, even if he did, he was too late.
Having lost half of his wings, Joshua had lost the ability to fight to the death. Fortunately, Prisilia did not intend to kill him. She only imprisoned him in exchange for his subordinates to behave themselves and not cause trouble.
Just like that, he had co all the way to the Blue Moon County and beco a prisoner. He had then used the sacrifices of his subordinates and the little cuties that he had arranged in advance to get out of it... This was sothing to be discussed later.
It was almost as Char had guessed, but there were a lot of details.
"That woman really hides her true self well."
Prince Joshua gently massaged his wrist, which was probably damaged by the anti-magic shackles.
"He... He was rciless when he killed. This cruel woman."
"I don't understand why Ivan would show you rcy."
Char rubbed his chin, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"It sounds like she didn't show off her muscles directly, but asked you to negotiate first, and then let Ivan make a move. Don't you think that's unnecessary?"
"That's why I always feel that that guy's purpose is very strange..."
Joshua narrowed his eyes as if he was trying to recall.
"He's cold and rciless, but he's afraid of us? That's right, it was like this. He, no, I should say the two of them, seems to be trying their best to prevent us from fighting on the way."
"Oh?"
Char suddenly had an idea.
"But she doesn't look like a kind and indecisive person at all."
"Ha, how is that possible..." It was as if Joshua had just heard the funniest joke in the world. "She's rciful? I'd rather believe that she doesn't want to lose so many male companions."
"What did you think of?" Lucia noticed the change in Shaya's eyes.
Char shook his head.
"No, I still have to think about it."
"Hmph..."
Although Joshua did not say anything, his expression turned slightly cold.
"Sigh, Prince, you're so boring." Char couldn't help but say, "I really didn't think of it."
"What are you talking about? I don't have any dissatisfaction," The old man said in a strange tone.
Char was so angry that she wanted to give him a good beating.
"This is just my guess. He seems to want us to return to Surseus with the most people, so he has been urging Prisilia along the way. However, that woman has always hated being pushed and shoved. I know very well that she had to listen to this guy's orders because he is powerful. Thus, I'm very sure that the reason she stopped at the Blue Moon County, other than to find the local beast spirit to vent her anger, is to wait for that fellow."
At this point, Joshua looked at Lucia.
Your Majesty, although we were unhappy before, Prisilia is our common enemy. This is a great opportunity. Otherwise, once that demonic guy returns, we will have no chance at all.
He then looked at Char.
"Although you're very strong, the pressure I felt from that person is definitely much, much stronger than you."
"Oh... Is that so?"
Char raised an eyebrow, revealing the unruly aura of a young man.
He seed to be dissatisfied with his loss to that guy.
At the sa ti, he made a hold your horses' gesture to Lucia behind his back.
"Then, what is your plan, Your Highness?" He asked.
