Looking at Fayance's slowly approaching figure, Tasia felt her whole body stiffen involuntarily. She felt scared, but only a little anger supported her, preventing her from retreating or falling.
However, Fyence did not walk towards her. After turning on the stage, he walked directly to Philip.
Fayance grabbed Phillip's shoulders and lifted his upper body directly.
Tasia stepped forward with concern, "Philip——"
"Don't come over." Fayance said coldly.
Tasia stood there, watching Fayance whisper in Philip's ear... It should be a very brief sentence, but it immediately made Philip's face change slightly.
Philip turned to Fayance and murmured softly. From the words in Philip's mouth, Tasia recognized that he was asking, "Really?"
Fayance nodded solemnly, and then Philip cried softly.
Tasia had no idea what was going on, but she could see that Philip was both remorseful and guilty at the moment.
"Tasia..." Philip shook his head slightly, "You should do what Mr. Fayance said..."
"But they almost killed Officer Si Lei last night!" Tasia looked at Philip in disbelief, "Now they want me to sneak into her residence-"
"It's Hesta's residence," Feyance corrected. "I'm sorry for what happened to Officer Si Lei, but you also heard what the people at the scene said: Si Lei was not dead, she was rescued. !」
"They all said she was almost dead!" Tasia interrupted Fiance angrily, "Ms. Hestad was almost dead too. What on earth did they do to make you so jealous-"
"They are trampling on us!" Fiance also raised his voice, "These mercury needles are all from the same group. Maybe Si Lei is also the same as them. Do you think she is really as kind as she appears? Is that so? Don’t be naive! She is someone who stays with Hesta every day, do you believe that she doesn’t know anything about it!?”
"Everything?" Tasia was still very confused, "...what everything, everything what?"
"All the murders that happened on the ship!" Fayance looked at Tasia, "All these...the massacres against us, the massacres against all male passengers, were all plots created by them themselves - and now we are not only connected to them Their purpose was not clear, and they even gave up their leadership position to our enemies in vain!”
"The enemy..." Tasia's eyebrows trembled slightly, "You are exaggerating. Have you forgotten who rescued us from the hanging chain when we boarded the ship? It was Li——"
"It's just a little sweetness specially designed to confuse people." Fayance's eyes narrowed to a slit, "Think about it, this is obviously a boat bought by Mr. Robbeglier, and this trip was originally intended for It was prepared for us, but a bunch of unknown people showed up out of nowhere—a few mercury needles, hundreds of soldiers, and..."
"You are making excuses again!" Tasia screamed, "Bernhard and the soldiers he brought on board were clearly part of the plan - look at Mr. Gobelin and General Bernhard You know the relationship! Fayance! I know what you are doing! You just want to drive Hesta out so that you can sit in the position of judge——"
"No!" Fyence frowned, "I will not sit in the position of judge!"
"Do you think I will believe it? You—"
"The person who will sit in the position of judge is you! It's you! It can only be you Tasia! It can only be you Tasia! It can't be anyone else!"
The entire Grace Theater fell into silence. Tasia opened her mouth slightly, and the spotlight in the distance cast a long slanting shadow beside her.
She didn't move for a long time, as if she was fixed in place by a spell.
Fiance spoke again, "I got some news... In short, among us, there is no one else qualified for this position except you, I am very sure of this.
"When you ran for the adjudicator, you also came on stage," Fayence looked at her. "All of us believed that you were the only candidate among us..."
This sudden change made her feel ironic, and Tasia felt tired. She didn't understand why these responsibilities that made her tired fell on her again and again. Her feet, which were already aching from standing, finally gave out all their strength, causing her to slowly slide to the ground.
"...I can't do it," Tasia whispered, "I simply..."
"Don't be stupid. Now, go to Hesta's room." Fayance walked forward slowly, stood in front of Tasia, and looked at her condescendingly, "Since you have enjoyed the privileges, you must assume obligations—— "
Tasia raised her head suddenly, "What privilege...? What do I enjoy...enjoy..."
"Your privileges started from the moment you boarded this ship," Fayence frowned, "Don't rush to refute! This will only make you appear hypocritical and ungrateful!"
Looking at Feyance's unruffled gaze, Tasia laughed and burst into tears, "What on earth are you talking about..."
Fayance grabbed Tasia's hair and tried to help her stand up again: "Take your responsibility! Tasia!"
Tasia closed her eyes and still smiled: "...Then you might as well kill me too."
"Is it more difficult for you to fulfill your responsibilities as a judge than to die? Don't be ridiculous!" Fiance suddenly let go of his hand and looked back at Philip, "Philip!"
Philip had a dagger in his hand at some point. His hands were still trembling, and his whole face still showed the sluggishness after being frightened. "Tasia... trust Fayance and shoulder... your responsibility." "
Before Tasia could react, she saw Philip stabbing her thigh with the dagger.
"Phillip...?" Tasia's eyes suddenly widened, "What are you doing?"
"Please... go to Hesta's room, this... is very important," Philip's facial features twitched slightly because of the pain, but he gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger forcefully, "Can you... promise me? ?」
Hot blood spurted out. Even though Tasia didn't know much about anatomy, she knew what such an exaggerated amount of bleeding meant.
Phillip gasped and looked at her almost pleadingly: "...can't you?"
Before Tasia, who was still in shock, could speak, she saw Philip raising the dagger high again——
"Yes! Yes! I can go!"
She almost cried out and said this. Almost at the same moment, she heard Fayonce above her head let out a soft cry.
She supported the ground with some dejection and stood up again.
How did things develop to this point...
This question is far beyond what Tasia can think about.
