Chapter 1173: A Tough Decision
Even though Rhode wasMarybelle’s response, he still felt discouraged He gazed at the bedridden, skinny, yellowish, and unconscious Lilian and couldn’t help but feel his heart ache He had known Lilian for a considerable aer sister Due to this reason, Lilian’s predicament broke his heart But even so, he took in a deep breath to stifle the uncertainty in him and asked
“Are you sure there is no other way, Marybelle?”
Upon hearing Rhode’s question, Marybelle nodded slightly
“Yes, Your Majesty Rhode There isn’t any issue re the presence of Chaos in her arm But just like Miss Gillian said, the power of Order contained within it feels really strange I’m not sure if Chaos would use the power of Order and alter Her Majesty Lilian’s body and spirit from the inside-out So, I think the safest way is to kill her” Marybelle said, let out a cough, and raised her head “Of course, Your Majesty Rhode, if you’re willing to, we can always resurrect her afterward Through the rinsing of the power of Order, I think there shouldn’t be any after-effect”
“Ugh…”
At that moment, Rhode finally understood what Marybelle meant when she said she was powerless in this situation It wasn’t that she couldn’t do it, but it was just her ‘better-to-be-safe-than-sorry’ attitude that was doing the talking She was just like before For safety’s sake, she was even willing to abandon her body to let Rhode transfor this to others Perhaps this option orthy of consideration, but Lilian was as though an object in Marybelle’s perspective Since Lilian was eroded by Chaos, Marybelle believed that the most reliable method was to elier sister exchanged looks and noticed the helplessness in each other’s eyes Marybelle was a principled person She was merciless to others but more ruthless to herself, so if she determined that this matter wasn’t safe and wise, she would never do it It was especially so for Lilian’s unique identity If she were truly invaded by Chaos, Marybelle would definitely place eli her as the least important After all, all troubles would be solved after killing her, while resurrecting her later ht cause several unknown aftereffects to show up If Chaos lurked inside Lilian’s body and altered her thoughts later, Rhode and the rest would definitely not notice it
Intellectually speaking, Marybelle’s decision wasn’t wrong But emotionally, it was totally unacceptable
“Can you do so about this?”
Rhode knew that he e Marybelle’s view even if he persuaded her, which hy he asked his younger sister for help instead After all, she was the original Void Dragon who created the deity wardens and Marybelle would surely respect her to a certain extent Upon hearing Rhode’s doubt, the younger sister shook her head helplessly and answered in a lowered voice
“It won’t work even if I persuade her; Marybelle is just that serious of a person It will be tough to e her mind”
er sister’s answer, Rhode knitted his brows Even though he understood Marybelle’s concerns, he could never kill Lilian on his own Besides, even if he couldn’t, he wouldn’t want others to do it either Be it whether Lilian could be resurrected or not, anyone who did the dirty ould be under extreical pressure
Rhode had also asked Stefania about it The latter had some ideas, but rules were different in every world, which hy she couldn’t guarantee that her ideas would work This hy Rhode could only give up the idea of taking the evil path and continue to think of other fitting means
“Is there really no other way?”
Sonia was clearly reluctant to accept this fact She knitted her brows and gazed at Marybelle with so, Sonia coer sister or daughter It was due to this reason that she strongly objected to Marybelle’s suggestion, which was also why her tone of voice was filled with vague indifference and hostility The rest noticed it, but they exchanged glances with one another and didn’t say a word
“I think this is the best way”
Marybelle gazed at Lilian and said fir Marybelle’s answer, Sonia scaht Even though there weren’t any changes in Sonia’s expression, her gaze was filled with obvious objection Upon detecting Sonia’s hostility, Marybelle twitched her brow and extended her aric wand appeared in her hand In response, Sonia’s face turned dark She stretched out her ar a faint and blurry radiance
Looking at this scene, everyone was appalled They didn’t expect to witness such a state of mutual hostility shortly after their return to the continent Many of them knew about the deep relationshi+p between Sonia and Lilian If Marybelle were to lay hands on Lilian, Sonia would surely defend Lilian with all her life There would be no roo On the other hand, Marybelle was also a stubborn person who trusted that everything she deterh to the end Anyone who stopped her was her enemy Since Sonia defied her, she was basically an enemy of Marybelle now
“You want to kill Her Majesty Lilian just because of one possibility? I cannot accept that, Miss Marybelle If you’re uncertain of your chances, I would need to ask you to leave”
Sonia glared fiercely at the young lady before her The silver-whitish, circular mirror in her hands emanated a faint radiance
“It is by no on soul heir to be eroded by Chaos But just in case, we need to be prepared to face any possible unexpected situation You can’t guarantee that no traces of Chaos will reon soul heir behind you, can you?”
Marybelle raised her ly incouarantee that traces of Chaos will remain in Her Majesty Lilian’s body, can you?”
Sonia twitched his brows She narrowed her eyes and stared at Marybelle
Everyone gazing at this scene were at their wits’ end Sonia was deterer on Lilian, while Marybelle was resolute in doing so No one expected things to turn into this stalemate in an instant Alice and Marlene who stood at the side watched blankly They were at a co Sister Sonia Please calh to gather their attention before stepping forward Upon hearing her voice, Marybelle and Sonia shi+fted their gaze to Christie and each took a step back albeit e headache He didn’t expect Sonia to be this agitated If he knew this would happen, he would have handled the situation himself But now…
“Marybelle, do you really not have any other solutions?”
The only thing Rhode could do noas to step forth and ask again Facing his question, Marybelle shook her head
“This is the safest method, Your Majesty Rhode”
“Hmph, after all is said and done, the truth is that you aren’t capable enough”
Sonia lowered her gaze to the ground and h her voice wasn’t loud and it sounded like she was soliloquizing, none of therumbles The crowd forced a sht beto in the first place Fortunately, this had nothing to do with Rhode If not, he would have turned around and left immediately He knew clearly that he would sink deeper if he were dragged into it When that happened, he hly out of luck if he mishandled the situation
