Chapter 154 The truth under the night

"Do you think there really is such a person in the world? He is willing to give selflessly and bear the scolding of so many people." Thorne stood on the deck, looking at the sea level in the distance, seeming to be talking to Jim next to him. talk.

In the quiet night, the sea breeze blew Thorne's hair gently, as if in response to his question. The ship rocked gently on the rough sea, as if the sea was also silently telling a story. Jim stood quietly beside Thorne, staring into the distance. He took a deep breath and looked towards the star-studded sky.

"Yes, Thorne." Jim's voice was as gentle as the night wind, carrying deep thoughts. "There do exist people like that in this world, those unknown heroes who are willing to shoulder responsibilities, silently contribute to others, and are willing to accept doubts and accusations."

Thorne nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the distance. "But why do they do this? Knowing that such a road is full of ups and downs and bitterness, I always feel that this is incomprehensible.

Mr. Jim, what do you think? "

"Mr. Thorne, this kind of words... shouldn't come out of your mouth, right?"

Jim narrowed his eyes and looked at Thorne with a dangerous look, reminding him of his status as the bishop of the church.

"There are only two of us here. I don't think I need to lie to you about some things. I think compared with people like Calvin, you should be able to understand my thoughts. Those high-sounding lies can just be deceived by outsiders, right? "

"..."

At this moment, the sea breeze is blowing gently, the ships are passing through the boundless night sea, and the starry sky is as bright as diamonds, but under all these beautiful appearances, there is an unknown conflict hidden. Jim's expression kept changing. He felt the different meaning in Thorne's words, and the uneasiness and anger in his heart surged like a tide.

The ship rises and falls on the rough sea, and every surge is like a heartbeat, gently swaying the entire hull. That is the sound of the night sea and the whisper of the wind. They intersect in the boundless deep blue and weave into a quiet and mysterious picture. The stars twinkle in the night sky, as if they are rain of diamonds from the sky, dotting this quiet and beautiful sea area.

The moonlight is like a silvery glow, gently shining on the sparkling sea, and every ripple is lit up, like an elf dancing in a dream. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the sea water has a faint silvery luster, like a silent silver sea. This is a forgotten night, a moment when the sea and the stars whisper.

The lights on the ship's side were weak and warm, emitting a faint halo. Those bright light spots are like gentle eyes, watching every ups and downs of the sea. The sails on the ship swayed in the breeze, making a light whistling sound, as if the song of the sea was rippling in the wind. This is a melodious and tragic symphony, a communication between nature and human souls.

In the distance, a bright moon hangs in the night sky. It is like a guardian, watching every lost soul on the earth. The moonlight shines on the sea, forming a silver road leading to the unknown in the distance. In this silent ocean, the moonlight is like a guide, leading the ship through the abyss of night.

Jim stood by the side of the ship, his eyes crossing the stars and the veil of night, staring at the distant future. At this moment, he seemed to be integrated with the sea and the starry sky, becoming part of the night. In this environment, his heart was as turbulent as the waves, but it seemed to contain a deep tranquility when blown by the wind.

For a moment, he thought of murder.

"Thorne, I advise you to be careful." Jim's voice was deep, with a cold light in his eyes.

"Second Prince Sirius is not the kind of person who can be manipulated at will, and I can't guarantee that I will pretend I didn't hear your words and deeds like this."

Thorne smiled slightly, but was not at all moved by Jim's threat. "Mr. Jim, you misunderstood me. In fact, I just want to know the truth. If the Second Prince Sirius is really that kind of person, why should he be afraid of my investigation?

I'm just curious, because it's really hard for me to understand that someone can be so perfect, isn't it? Especially since I have never met him, I have no idea what kind of person Sirius is.

But I can believe you. After all, I can feel that Calvin is different from me. He is a person who really has a sense of responsibility for his position. The person he believes in is you, so I am willing to choose to believe you.

So I hope I can learn a real Sirius from you, okay? "

Jim took a deep breath, a look of determination in his eyes. "Okay, Thorne. Since you are so determined, then listen to my true account." He seemed to have made up his mind, staring at the sea in the distance.

The sea breeze blew over the side of the ship with a salty and wet smell, blowing Jim's black hair and carrying his words into the distance. The starlight shone on his face, sketching a deep and mysterious picture.

Thorne waited quietly, his eyes locked on Jim's face, knowing that there were more secrets hidden in this man's heart.

"The past of the second prince Sirius was indeed shrouded in indifference and misunderstanding." Jim began to tell, "He is the second prince of the empire, but he has always been ignored. His brother and sister both thought he was a waste. Don't take him seriously. In this huge royal family, he is always a marginal figure and cannot integrate."

Thorne felt the complex emotions in Jim's words, and felt a little sympathy for the second prince in his heart. "Then what?"

Jim sighed. "Everyone thinks that he is a waste and is not qualified for the responsibilities of the royal family. His brother never hides his dissatisfaction with him and even excludes him from the core of power.

do you know? His brother even chose to accuse Sirius of colluding with the Chester Empire and attempting to rebel because he felt that Sirius's existence would bring shame to the royal family. "

"Ahem... Well, I am from the Chester Empire, so your use of 'collusion' is a bit rude."

"Sorry, just a metaphor."

Jim didn't look apologetic at all, he just continued to create a miserable persona for Sirius.

"However, Sirius was not depressed by these treatments. On the contrary, he studied hard and honed his talents, but even so, his efforts were always ignored." Jim's eyes flashed with reluctance.

"Then why does he have to sacrifice everything for this country, even if he is always ignored?" Thorne asked curiously.

Jim smiled slightly, with admiration for Sirius. "Because he is a grateful person. Even if he is ostracized and criticized, he is still willing to give everything for this land and the people.

And he is not completely alone. At least I have always been his friend. Although we have different identities, it is indeed a destiny to become such good friends through life. "

"Are you talking about yourself?" Jim nodded shamelessly, "I was just an ordinary servant at the time. When Lord Siris was being bullied, I stood up and stood in front of him. And behind me When I was desperate and went to steal something to eat, Lord Siris also found me and gave me a job.

He knew that I would never have a chance to develop around him, so he also recommended me to his brother. Sirius was so naive at the time. He thought that his brother was the most trustworthy and good person, so he helped him by his side. I can definitely live my best life.

Although I know that Lord Siris and I are fundamentally different at all times, but we two people who should not be talking together have really become lifelong friends.

Of course, in my heart he is also my lifelong follower, and I regard him as my only master.

Going back to the story just now, when I knew that the eldest prince was going to kill him later, I was actually in pain all night. Especially when I knew that I was the one responsible for this mission, I had the idea of ​​​​committing suicide at that time. "

Thorne was obviously completely attracted by this story, so he couldn't wait to ask: "But you didn't commit suicide, so what happened next? What happened?"

"In the end, I decided... no matter how many people misunderstood me, I would still be the one who could save Sirius' fate.

I faked Sirius's death to make him think that he could survive by 'lucky', and even pretended to be an ungrateful person in front of Lord Sirius to ensure that my plan would not be exposed. You can ask others about this. I believe everyone will give me the same evaluation: a great prince’s good dog.

But that doesn't matter, I don't care what other people think of me. "

"..." Thorne said nothing, he just looked at Jim with admiration.

"Lord Siris finally returned to the palace, and I also exposed the evil deeds of the eldest prince in front of everyone. In fact, everyone still remembers what happened that day, but in the end we failed, and the eldest prince succeeded in seizing power after all. , so no one can cleanse my stigma anymore."

"What a similar plot."

"Yes, only a few people trust me, just like there are only a few people who trust Siris. In fact, there is no royal waste, it is just everyone's prejudice.

These people did not understand Lord Siris's thoughts, and they took it for granted that he must have hatred in his heart.

Don't you think this is ridiculous, Mr. Thorne? First he treated you with malice, and finally he slandered your nobility, saying that there is no possibility of truth, goodness and beauty surrounded by so much malice. Whose fault is this? "

"Yes." Thorn looked at the sea in the distance with a wry smile, "Whose fault is it?

In short, it can't be the fault of our discerning public, right? "

"Yeah, how could they be wrong?" Jim smiled and patted Thorne on the shoulder, "But now that there is such an opportunity for the 'good guys' to admit their mistakes and the 'bad guys' to clear their names, do you think we should How to do it?"

"Of course you can't miss it."

On the other side, inside the secret cult organization located underground in Fela. It was dark at night, and the church was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. The dim lights cast strange shadows among the vaults. Rosette was wearing a black robe, with a mysterious headscarf covering her face, as if she were a ghost emerging in the dark night.

Rosette's expression was solemn. She stood on the high platform and stared at the crowd, her voice as low and majestic as the night wind. "Brothers and sisters, we have a new beginning tonight." Her eyes penetrated the darkness and seemed to be able to see through everyone's thoughts. "Of course, people may have doubts about me, but I will prove my worth with practical actions."

The members exchanged doubtful looks with each other, while Michelle, the former leader and matron, remained silent in full view of the crowd. The atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense, and Rosette decided to demonstrate her leadership status through a special mission.

But even if someone doesn't speak, Rosette is not ready to let the other person go. The master's father had always treated him well, so Rosette didn't want to pull him out to attack at this time. But Michela is different. She felt that this woman was dangerous and she had to do something about her first.

"Michela, if you have different opinions, then please accompany me on a special mission." Rosette's voice echoed throughout the church, and her eyes scanned the members present. "This is not only an opportunity to test our unity and trust."

Michelle frowned slightly, she did not believe Rosette easily, but under the gaze of everyone, she stood up and expressed her doubts. "Okay, tell me what kind of mission this is."

Rosette fell into silence for a moment. She took a deep breath and whispered mysteriously: "We need to go deep into Siral's territory personally and understand his movements. It is best to cause an accident under his nose." , Only in this way can everyone know how terrible we are. This can also better consolidate the power of the organization. And if you can participate in it, you will be the core figure of the organization."

Michela hesitated, but eventually she nodded. "Okay, I'll support your plan. We really need to ensure the stability of the organization."

"This is the best."

Rosette's expression seemed even deeper at this moment. She stared at the departing members with a calm determination in her eyes. The black robe fluttered around her body like a ghost dancing in the night. She seems to be the queen of the night, controlling the fate of everything.

In the dark corner of the church, she turned around quietly, her mysterious smile looking even deeper under the cover of her black robe. She knew that this mission would be a critical step in the future of the entire organization, and she was the leader in this dangerous arena.

As these people left, Rosette looked at Michela who was about to throw herself into a trap, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

"This is your decision, so don't blame me for being unreasonable." Rosette's tone revealed an unfathomable confidence, as if she was dancing with the unknown power in the night, destined to rewrite this story. A dark history.
