Chapter 1463 (2/2)
Then he asked Su Cheng in a hesitant tone:
”Su Cheng... Are you really... Going to kill Jeanne Darke, the 'Saint' of the Lorraine Empire?”
”What?” Su Cheng raised his eyebrows. ”Do you know that 'Saint' Jeanne?”
”... a long time ago, I had a short and happy friendship with her.”
”Well... So - are you going to plead with her?”
Leia: ”
Leia didn't speak.
But her behavior of not talking is tantamount to acquiescence.
”... alas.”
Su Cheng sighed lightly.
”If I can, I don't want to kill the saint...”
”After all, the 'Saint' is said to be a very young man.”
”And I haven't done anything wrong.”
”The only thing we did was to offend our britannian empire. It was just that our first war of annihilation of the Lorraine Empire failed.”
”But on the battlefield, each is his own master. She fights for her country, and we fight for our country. Winning or losing on the battlefield, death and injury are just ordinary things, so I don't hate her.”
”But... She can't die.”
”Her present identity is no longer an ordinary Luo Lin army general.”
”Her present identity is already the 'Saint' of the Lorraine empire.”
”It doesn't matter whether her 'Saint' is worthy of her name or not.”
”Whether the subjects and soldiers of the Lorraine Empire believe that she is the 'Saint' who can save this country is the most important.”
”However - quite unfortunately.”
”These days, according to my investigation, many subjects, generals and soldiers of the Lorraine Empire dislike Jeanne as a 'Saint' who can save them from fire and water.”
”We all believe that as long as the 'Saint' is still there, the Lorraine empire will be saved and there is hope for revival.”
”There are a lot of people who believe in the power of the 'Saint'.”
”If these people unite together, the power that erupts cannot be underestimated.”
”So the 'Saint' must die.”
”I have to destroy the spiritual beliefs of those people.”
”Only by doing so can we completely eliminate the threat of those who believe in the power of the 'Saint'.”
”I'm sorry, Jeanne. Anyway, I must kill your old friend. ”
Su Cheng's tone was firm.
Every time you leave any room for maneuver.
”... really... Can't you be merciful?” Leia's tone was cautious.
”... sorry.”
”Su Cheng...” Liya raised her hand and scratched her hair. ”It's hard for me to do this...”
”Jeanne is my friend... I don't want her to die...”
As soon as Leia's voice fell, Su Cheng answered without thinking:
”I am an integrated Knight of the British Empire. I must strive for the best interests for the British Empire.”
