only god

67 - I'm going to lose you
Tertullian was still kneeling on the straw, his hands clasped together, the whole person maintained this posture, and fell silent.

I have never seen God myself, never.

But I have never been so close to God.

The rain is still falling, as if it will never stop.

In the darkness, there were a few pattering footsteps outside the cell, as if someone was being supported by others and was walking towards the cell.

Tertullian opened his eyes, still clasped his hands together, and looked out of the cell door.

The sound of rain mixed with the sound of footsteps.

A torch slowly approached the cell door, and by its light Tertullian saw a robed figure supported by another.

"Dertullian."

King Jalesto spoke slowly while holding a torch.

His tone made it impossible to hear his emotions.

The queen who supported Alesto was the queen of Alesto. The latter looked at Tertullian worriedly, fearing that the people inside would hurt her husband.

"Go out first, I can do it alone."

King Alesto spoke to the queen in a low voice.

The queen nodded slightly, helped King Alesto sit down, and walked out of the prison.

Inside and outside the cell, only the brothers Alesto and Tertullian remained.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

King Alesto spoke, with anger in his tone.

Tertullian bowed his head and said nothing.

"You led the slaves to rebel against me!"

"How dare you do that?!"

Amidst the sound of the rain, King Alesto stared at Tertullian with disdainful eyes, and the latter's silence made his anger even stronger than before.

"The Colossus has fallen, the Colossus of Father has fallen, what are you doing? Are you going to destroy our glory?"

"Answer me, Tertullian!"

"answer me!"

Tertullian listened in silence, without saying a word.

His silence seemed to admit all the accusations to his brother.

King Jalesto took a deep breath after questioning, the tingling pain in his side made him temporarily suppress his anger.

I made promises to my father.

Jalesto warned himself.

He stared at Tertullian with his head bowed, and then said slowly:
"The nobles will judge you and execute you, Tertullian. The leading noble is the most eminent wise man in the kingdom, and they call him the sage Bolan. You must die if he accuses you!"

King Jalesto looked at him, watching his every move,
"And I... your brother, I am willing to give you a chance, I am willing to endure the endless abuse of those nobles, I am willing to let those poems that praise me become slander.

Many have testified that you are a dragon slayer.What a great feat, for which I can pardon you if only you admit your fault. "

Tertullian raised his eyes at this moment, and looked at Alesto.

King Alesto saw the eyes of his brother, and the years of blood and kinship made him understand at once what Tertullian was thinking.

He wondered if those slaves could be pardoned.

"Impossible! Tertullian!"

King Alesto refused angrily:

"I know what you're thinking, but I'm telling you, it's not possible, someone has to take people's anger. And I'm just taking you out of that anger."

Hearing Alesto's words, Tertullian averted his eyes.

"You don't accept the terms?"

How could King Yalesto not understand what Tertullian's move meant? He sneered and said:
"Do you think this is a negotiation? Tertullian!
Do you think you are on an equal footing with me?
I am your king, and you are but a prisoner now! "

Still Tertullian said nothing, but let the words fall to his ears.

King Aresto was annoyed by his silence.

What is he doing?
Are you ignoring your own words?

King Jalesto's side began to ache, irritating his burning heart.

But he still endured and suppressed the manic anger.

"O Tertullian,"

"Have you heard the grief of the Kingdom of Logos? Ever since you told others 'God is gone', the kingdom has been crying day and night. What you have done has almost ruined the happiness of all the Logos people Once."

"Yes, almost, not completely destroyed. We still have room for redemption.

As long as you're on trial, admit it's all your madness and your fault.

As long as you're on trial, allowing those slaves to take their rage, let go, let go of your beliefs, let go of your beliefs you won't die.

As long as, as long as you promise me and accept my arrangement, I will still reuse you and protect you as I promised my father. You know, you only have me. "

King Alesto put down his kingly posture, and persuaded Tertullian earnestly and earnestly in a gentle tone.

Tertullian looked at Alesto from time to time, but did not give any answer.

He is still silent.

Jalesto's anger reached its peak in an instant.

In an instant, his flank was in extreme pain, and under the light of the fire, King Alesto's face was hideous.

The pain reminded him of that nightmare.

The curse of King Sabo still seems to be lingering in his ears.

【"You will fight with Tertullian, and you will see each other's swords. You will die at the hands of your brothers. You will be blinded by desire, and you will die badly, because my god has granted my curse."】

King Jalesto felt angry, and amidst the burning anger, there was a flash of panic.

In the dream, his brother, Tertullian slowly ascended the long steps, hoping to get his hands on the throne of his king.

There was no trace of affection in his eyes, only greed, darkness, and hatred.

King Jalesto recalled that nightmare, and at this moment, that nightmare was so close to him.

O own brother, why rebel, why say: God is gone...

There is only one reason.

"Do you want to replace me?! Tertullian!"

King Jalesto said excitedly:

"You want to sit on my throne! For this reason, you will not hesitate to destroy the glory of the Logos and the happiness of the Logos."

"My brother,

You are so greedy! "

King Jalesto suddenly stood up from the ground, enduring the pain in his side, he paced around the cell, his whole body was furious and burning with rage.

He was motivated to kill by the nightmare, and at this moment, fueled by anger, the murderous intent became more and more intense.

"I won't persuade you greedy person again, ten poisonous snakes together are not even one ten-thousandth of your size."

"Judge you, judge you, let those nobles judge you, let you die, I have done enough for you, I did not violate my father's promise, it was you, you betrayed me!"

Tertullian heard his brother's angry cries and only looked at him, seeing that his hands were shaking.

"All poetry will curse you! Defeat you! Because you want to destroy everything in the Logos, you are a viper, a dragon, I used to trust you so much, and even now I want you to change your mind. But I woke up , you are not worthy of me, you are eager for my throne, and you will not hesitate to kill me."

When King Jalesto finished speaking angrily, all his anger had been vented, and the beating heart in his chest suddenly became empty, and there was nothing left inside.

Alesto's cheeks were wet, and he wept with anger, but also with betrayal, and because he had to break his father's promise.

He looked at Tertullian, pained by the silence of his brother, who was looking straight into his eyes.

Alesto expects Tertullian to say something, whatever it is, but don't be silent like this, don't watch yourself cry like this, God, please let him say something!

But Tertullian said nothing, but stood up.

He walked over step by step, silently came to Jalesto's side, stretched out his hand, and stretched out the prison door.

Through the cold prison door, he hugged his brother.

Alesto was stunned, and Tertullian hugged himself, just like he once hugged his father.

He still didn't say anything, but that was all he answered.

Tertullian's embrace shook Alesto's heart.

Jalesto was trembling all over, he was crying, the anger quietly left him, only sadness remained in his empty heart, he didn't know why he was so sad, tears kept falling in the sound of rain.

Jalesto said tremblingly:

"Stay away from me..."

"Dertullian, I am losing you."

　I'm asking everyone for tomorrow's catch-up, tomorrow is Tuesday again (tears)
