Chapter 88 (2/2)
When he reappeared, he had come to Jeanne, and the cold blade had been clamped on her elegant neck like a swan.
The people present were stunned at first. After two seconds, they reacted and showed a look of amazement. The two middle-aged people quickly pulled out a firerope gun and pointed at rolle.
Rolle gently patted Jenna's pretty face with the blade and whispered:
”This is my last warning to you, don't play with fire, little girl.”
Jean Na shed two lines of clear tears in her eyes, as if she were frightened to cry, sobbing and saying:
”Are you going to kill me and destroy the only hope of the people here?”
Rolle replied impolitely:
”Hope? Don't stick gold on your face. If you, a naive and short-sighted guy, can be called hope, the people here are really desperate.”
Then he took back his sword and added:
”For the sake of the children at school, I'll leave, but you'd better get rid of that absurd idea.”
Rolle turned away and didn't look at the belt any more.
Two middle-aged men had been pointing guns at him, but they never had the courage to pull the trigger.
After he had gone a long way, Nana was relieved and sat down in her chair, sweating.
After a while, she sat up again and asked the old man in a low voice:
”Sorry, teacher, I screwed up.”
The old man shook his head, patted her on the shoulder and comforted:
”In fact, you only screwed up half. He didn't kill you on the spot, which shows that there is still hope...”
”In fact, he is not against our resistance movement, but against your plan, which is normal. Even I think your plan is too crazy, although it may be very effective and it is the quickest way to overthrow the Principality of Maud...”
Jeanne could not help lowering her head and said wrongfully:
”Do you even think so? As Mr. roll said, I am a naive and short-sighted little girl?”
”But I just want our people to get rid of suffering earlier.”
The old man handed her a handkerchief and continued:
”You shouldn't ask me this question. I'm just an old scholar who has done research in the tower all his life. I don't know much about other things...”
”The people around us are actually the same. Students, farmers, hunters and farmers don't know how to fight tyranny.”
”You should ask Mr. Rawl. He can certainly give wise advice. He is the real wise man.”
Jeanne's face could not help showing a surprised look. She didn't know how the old man came to this conclusion.
”Remember the legendary story I told you about the 'grey King' of the Empire?”
Jean Na was stunned, and her eyes suddenly glowed again.
”Take that belt and talk to Mr. roll again...”
”However, remember to change your clothes first. You're only 20 years old this year. It's not good to always dress up so old-fashioned.”
”Mr. rolle is very gentle with the children. If you dress younger, you will be much better.”
The old man continued to remind.
