Chapter 714 - Final Battle - Part 4 (1/2)
Yes, Robert betrayed this woman because Rosalie rejected his confession by saying she had someone she loved. Jealousy and ambition took over him, and he plotted the rebellion. The rebellion was just a trick to force Rosalie to accept him, but until the last moment, Rosalie still rejected him.
Even when she was poisoned with Mana Corroder, the poison that ate her mana, causing her not to be able to execute any skill, she still rejected her. He threatened her that he would sell her to whore house for the nobles after having fun with her. Even after all of that, the woman chose to kill herself instead of accepting him. The person who had been loyal to her, helping her to establish the strongest kingdom in the Ortis Continent.
This was the main reason why the Lionax Kingdom kept hunting down The Fotia Legion. The strongest knight legion and also the one that Rosalie treasured the most. Rosalie never told him who the man she loved was. He thought Alton was the man she loved; hence he used everything in his hand to destroy Alton.
Disbanding the legion, purposely leaking out the information that he killed Rosalie in order to incite an attack from the Fotia Legion's members, so he had a legitimate reason to hunt down the Fotia Legion and use his power to force Alton's best friend to surrender.
Robert could no longer feel the pain as he recalled everything in the past, and tears flowed down from his eyes at his last moment. He did not know why he could see her in the last moment of his life, but his desperate gaze turned into a gentle and loving gaze. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. ”I l-lo-lo-ve y-you….”

The notifications of leveling kept ringing in his head, but Tang Shaoyang ignored all the notifications and looked back at Rosalie with his eyes widened open. He was sure that he did not hear things, and Robert Kingsley said ”I love you” at the last moment of his life. He could not understand what actually happened as this was totally different from what Rosalie shared.
Robert betrayed her in order to take over the kingdom, and he planned to make her an exclusive prostitute for the high-ranking nobles. That was the whole story from Rosalie, and she never mentioned the fact that Robert loved her. ”Are you lying to me?”
”I am not. I just never mentioned the part where Robert confessed to me, and I rejected him. I don't think that counted as lying, right?” Rosalie smiled as she glanced at Robert Kingsley. There was no pity or even sympathy in her eyes, she looked relieved that she had achieved her vengeance, but revenge did not give the satisfaction she expected. ”Maybe because I am not the one who killed him?” She muttered in a low voice.
”That's true. You did not lie to me, and it does not matter anyway.” Tang Shaoyang released the old man from his grip and checked the transparent screen in front of his eyes. He checked how many levels he got from killing a Legend Rank. ”I am sorry about killing Robert. I kinda forgot about your thing with this Lionax Kingdom.”
[You have reached level 2489!]
Three hundred thirty-two levels, his level increased that many by killing a single Legend Rank, and he had another Legend Rank waiting for him to kill. Despite the gain from killing a Legend Rank and bonus Attribute Points from [Slayer Absorption], he was not happy because he did not see a sign of advancement to Ancient Rank. ”Maybe it's level 2500?” He muttered unhappily. The other advanced their rank when they reached level 1500, but he almost doubled up, yet he was still in Epic Rank.
