It is not important to Xia Lan if it is determined or unintentional to save a person with dying intentions.

He doesn't care about Tirrant's future life and death, but now, what he needs is the value and harvest of saving him.

"Who are they?" Xia Lan asked again.

"The detained noble ministers of the kingdom." After a while of silence, Tirrant looked at Xia Lan beside him and said.

The two positive and negative words of ungratefulness and gratitude seem to be difficult to express in Tirrant. His willingness to say this does not mean his gratitude.

"Why?"

If Tilrant and his friends seized the noble ministers to coerce an important bargaining chip from the king, then what is the purpose of the man in black robe involved in his mouth?

"You want to know?"

"Would you say it?"

"Who are you?"

"Norvid Silandov Yare."

This is the second time Xia Lan has spoken his pseudonym.

"Oh?" After such a familiar name wandered around Tirrant's mind for several times, he suddenly remembered the escape incident of the noble that Anqiro had reported to him, and among them was the name Nolved Zelandov Yare.

"You are the one who escaped with Ammanta when we were taken into custody in the complex building?"

"Do you know me?" Xia Lan frowned slightly.

"Of course, my deputy once reported to me about your escape, and the nobles who conspired with you had to confess you to save their lives." Tirrant said.

So that's it, but although this unexpected unfolding is a bit beyond Xia Lan's expectations, it is always a good thing.

"What makes me wonder is that since you escaped from our custody, why didn't you leave? Instead, you saved me regardless of danger. What is your purpose?"

He was very confused.

"If all this is just my curiosity, would you believe it?" Seeing Tilrant's smiling face, Xia Lan slowly said: "I participated in a grand and rare college festival full of interest, but I was inexplicably kidnapped. I think no matter who it is, you will be angry to understand the cause and effect."

"Your lies can deceive others, but you can't deceive me." Tilrant said in his eyes.

"But this lie can show that I am an innocent person." Xia Lan smiled calmly.

...

"If Vassen said nothing wrong, the road ahead is the direction to the abandoned back door that blocked the abandoned years ago."

Laqi and Maggie stayed at a fork in front of the college road. The dim street lights stretched out the figure of a girl. In the quiet late night, the cold wind blew gently, and I couldn't help but feel the coldness invasion.

Occasionally, the sound of the wind roared among the woods deep in the dark, and Maggie's body would crouch tightly at Laqi's hand. In such a large academy, the two lonely people would always have a kind of fear that would invisibly affect their hearts.

Following the path that Raki pointed to, Maggie looked from a distance, as if endless darkness was swallowing up.

Not all girls are as bold as Laqi, with a calm and pretty face that shows no expression, as if her emotions were not affected by the outside world.

"Laqi, what if they have left the academy?" Maggie asked with concern when she thought of Brother Xialan who was worried about her.

"Maggie—"

Laqi sighed lightly, turned to Maggie and looked at him, "Do you like him? No, maybe I should say, do you love him?"

Looking at Laqi's solemn appearance, Maggie mustered up the courage to look up and said, "Yes! Maggie likes Brother Xialan very much."

"Can you tell me why you like him?" Laqi asked immediately. "Don't say that he liked you because he saved you, because that's not love."

"No." Maggie quickly waved her hands on her chest, and her fair and small face showed a rare serious look, saying: "I like Brother Xia Lan not because he saved me. Although I have always been grateful to him in my heart, I have never liked him because of gratitude. You have never seen Brother Xia Lan's true appearance, cold and ruthless. Many times you will be very scared, but when you forget to be afraid, you will find that he is lonely and painful."

"I have never known Brother Xia Lan, his origin, his past... but this is not important, because I like him, feel sorry for him, and I always want to take care of him by my side, and I don't want to make him suffer or make him sad. Every time I see his smiling face, I feel happy, as if my whole body is filled with warmth... There is no reason to like someone, because your heart will tell yourself that this person you like."

After listening quietly to Maggie's self-confession after she finished speaking in one breath, Raki stretched out her hand and gently patted her behind her coughing and asthma caused by her rapid words.

"If you really like someone, how can you give up easily when his life and death are uncertain? The inner hesitation and retreat will only make your feelings not really reward."

Maggie finally understood the intention of Raki's initial words. In this one-way relationship, she hesitated in her unyielding persistence.

There is no reward or result, and it seems like I am trapped in a maze and confused before that unknown relationship.

She reached out and grabbed Laqi's hand and took a step forward.

"Laki, let's go."

Even if there is no result, at least I have worked hard and made no regrets.

...

"Can you tell me now what their purpose is?"

"Their purpose is to weaken His Majesty's authority from beginning to end."

The two people on the stone chair, Sharan and Tyrrant, hindered their negotiations and finally broke the ice.

"Those noble ministers are His Majesty's most loyal supporters. If they die, the sudden vacuum of power will give many people the opportunity, and His Majesty cannot monopolize this feast of power; in this way, His Majesty's power is restricted, and as one rises and the other falls, those who have the intention can intervene in controlling the rights more." Tilrant explained coldly. "Their actual purpose of cooperation in the first place is to use me to achieve open murder! Unexpectedly..."

"I didn't expect that they even dared to assassinate the Kingdom Guards, right?" Xia Lan said in.

Tirrant snorted coldly: "Although the two elite legions of the royal capital are under the control of His Majesty on the surface, it is difficult to guarantee that the non-commissioned generals of the people have not suffered from counter-espionage rebellion over the years. The kingdom guards are different. They have been firmly in control since His Majesty ascended the throne. As long as the guards are not in chaos, His Majesty will have enough military power to protect his throne! Humph, maybe he did not expect the destruction of one of the three kingdom guards this time..."

Political power, military power, and undercurrents against His Majesty the King seem to have not ended, perhaps, this is just the beginning.

"Who is behind them?" Xia Lan asked the topic of concern.

"Wolance!"
