At night.
Candice crossed her knees with her hands and tilted her head, waiting for someone.
Just like Desiya's words, Tadra brought her here specifically, and of course she understood what the other party meant.
He is no longer a child. How can he not understand what the other party wants to do in a place like Shahai where mercenaries hang out?
but······
"What are you sighing for?"
Rama's figure suddenly appeared.
"projection?"
Candice couldn't understand.
She rubbed her eyebrows, looking confused.
Could it be that I understood it wrong?
In fact, they really just want Aru Village to surrender and then join the Shahai?
"The elders asked you to come here."
He threw a lot of projection equipment throughout the tribe, which could appear at any time.
"On the one hand they thought I was completely out of the tribe and wanted to tie me down to something."
“Besides, they also took in the Morahs of the fools.”
Candice thought thoughtfully, "It seems that you have a deal with the Fools, but the other party is not satisfied with the chips you gave and wants more."
For a notoriously violent organization, the best way to get something is certainly not an equal exchange, it would be too expensive.
Why not find the owner, have a gentle and interesting conversation, and ask the other person to transfer the item to you?
"If I show up, they can catch me."
At the time of the early trade, Rama did not have any reputation. By the time his value was revealed, the fools could no longer find him.
"This may be a bit straightforward to ask," Candice pursed her lips, "But I have a question. Are you avoiding them because you find it troublesome, or because it is really troublesome?"
"Repent that you compromised too soon?"
The nature of the question was obvious and Rama did not answer it directly.
"A little." Candice nodded slightly.
Her heterochromatic eyes were gentle and seductive enough under the moonlit night.
"You see, the reason why I came here is known to all, and it is to save Aru Village."
"It sounds a bit like sacrificing for everyone," Rama thought for a while, "But Ms. Candice, you know that this kind of words will not only make a person feel guilty, but may also make him more happy. .”
"So bad?" Candice smiled, "Are you such a bad person?"
"Obviously." Rama nodded, "Isn't that how the outside world promotes me, a tyrant, a dictator..."
"These are very bad comments, but I don't think they are bad." Candice stretched, "At least it means you have both power and strength."
Just like what you have besides money, in terms of direction and development, there should be many people hoping that they will be scolded like this.
What's more, this is really not a curse.
Yes, yes, I have nothing but money - but isn't that good?
You can continue to scold me. I am very happy to hear this.
"I want to keep Aru Village, because you gave the order first, so I can only choose to compromise."
It could delay time...but Rama had already wiped out all the tribes by then.
For a person who has used war to defeat so many opponents in a short period of time, you have to drag him along while waiting for the Order to come up with a price, and finally compete with each other.
Candice thought about it and simply chose to compromise.
If you reach out first, then you have the final say.
"But when I got here, I found that you couldn't even protect yourself."
Candice smiled and asked, "So does this count as being deceived?"
A reasonable question, Rama thought for a moment, then shook his head in denial, "It doesn't count."
"This is your own guess, but I don't think the Fools are an insurmountable opponent."
After a brief exchange of information, Rama recalled for a moment.
"If fools are not a problem, then what are my problems, Your Majesty?"
She drew out her voice, her tone soft.
Rama frowned slightly, "I have already explained that they want to use their wives and children as shackles."
"So you don't want me?" Candice took courage, "I thought you wouldn't care about these things. After all, you have simply described these things."
shackles······
This rhetoric is very consistent with the outside world's perception of Rama.
This brutal dictator started a war in the sand sea. He didn't care about anyone's life or death, he just drove the wheels of the chariot where he wanted.
Candice couldn't say she was surprised.
Rama is already very close to the status of the king of the sand sea. In terms of the power of the king, if he is really obsessed with a woman too much, it is not a good thing.
This kind of infatuation and true love is usually in stories and rarely happens in reality.
"Let me think about it, are you anxious?"
Rama raised his eyebrows slightly, "I will explain to you what value my marriage should have in the eyes of others."
"And your understanding is that my marriage has only value."
The rhetoric is not difficult to understand.
"The queen is not something that the king cannot lose." Rama recalled for a moment and confirmed that this statement was not too much. "Children are not something that the king cannot lose."
Feudal Dynasty clearly states that the queen's greatest value lies in the team of relatives behind her.
As for the children... the two dragons don't meet each other, it's quite clear that what I give you is yours.
Of course, being alone is not just talk.
For those who sit at the pinnacle of power, they really have nothing they can't afford to lose except their crown and scepter.
But the truth is not so simple and crude.
"Since these things are not unique in value, losing these things is not an unbearable loss."
"You're better at math than I am."
Rama was filled with admiration, "How ruthless."
It's not that it can't be seen. Ever since he sat here, it was obvious that the guardian of Aru Village was ready to sacrifice his life.
She hopes to use herself as a bargaining chip in exchange for the interests of Aru Village.
The choices and reasons are almost the same as Nasida's. In this place of Xumi, everyone really has their own persistence and beliefs.
When I think about it this way, I always feel like I am a bad person who takes advantage of others, but it doesn't seem to be a bad feeling.
Candice's face turned red.
She did not believe that Rama did not know her true intentions.
Strictly speaking, no one in the tribe is unclear about the meaning of her sitting here now.
The dignitaries were waiting for Rama's reaction, and then observed how they could suit him and how they could deepen his interest in the tribe.
Many people thought that Rama wanted to be the king, but looking at his current situation, he didn't appear much but still wanted people to respect him. He didn't want to be a king, but a god.
Candice herself knows it too.
Aru Village does not have to exist.
The only value of their existence is actually to keep a map completely consistent.
Whether they surrendered or were destroyed was irrelevant.
"It's not that you can't tell at all. This is your business, so of course I won't refuse."
The projection gradually shattered, and Rama's figure emerged from the fragments.
Of course this is not teleportation. If a beauty is in your room, you wouldn't really put up a projection to communicate with her, would you?
He stretched out his fingers and pressed gently on Candice's honey-colored skin.
As the old saying goes, people are ugly in all kinds of ways, but beautiful people are always the same.
It's true.
Even after living in the desert as an adult, Candice's skin remains soft and smooth, like brocade.
"After all, I admit that I have a vested interest in this matter, so I certainly have no reason to refuse."
The Ecclesiastical Council did not see anything wrong with oppressing the desert people. They were naturally the oppressors, not the people who were oppressed, and naturally they would not empathize with the oppressed.
This is the same reason. It is difficult for a vested interest to resist something that is good for him.
Candice is not that soft without her soft, sweet slurping sound.
After all, she was active in the sand sea as a warrior rather than a beauty, so her skin would not be so sensitive.
"Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing to say these words at this time?"
He paused at the beginning of his words.
"What do you think?" Candice raised her eyebrows and put her arms around Rama's neck.
It took me a long time to muster up the courage to sacrifice my life, but if I continue to express my position, it seems that I am a little urgent.
But even if we don’t say it, what’s the point?
She is already sitting here, and others have probably already thought about the entire process.
Candice took a deep breath and continued to swallow her last bit of dignity.
"Okay, okay, all of you are really saints of your own family, and sacrifice will always be at the front." Rama reached out and pressed her lips, "I know what you want, it's just Aru Village. ,I agreed."
"You guys are all sitting here, so I'm done."
This is not about giving up just because you want to refuse. This kind of courage cannot be inspired casually. It would be a little inappropriate to refuse again.
"I don't want to reason with someone at this time," Rama couldn't help but sigh, "But you have mustered up so much courage, I have to be a little more human."
"Can you stop when you are talking?" Candice whispered in Rama's ear.
This is a very standard desert beauty, and it completely fits Rama’s stereotype of this kind of person.
This understanding comes entirely from Cleopatra in film and television works, that is, the very famous Cleopatra.
His palms naturally slid down Candice's back, and finally rested on her waist.
"So just be a little bit more human."
Rama played steadily.
"You always have a point."
This kind of speech is a bit biased towards love talk.
Wake up!
"To be fair, you are now the victim."
Between people and the heart, Rama prefers people and does not necessarily pursue the heart.
But if there is room for maneuver, he doesn't mind taking away people and hearts.
"You feel aggrieved, and you don't want to be with someone you've never met, but the future of Aru Village is in his hands. You feel aggrieved, but you still want to please him."
"I understand that you all have your own ideas, and this is your freedom."
Compromise is not uncommon.
The only communication between him and Candice is here. If this person has any intention of wronging him, he can only find the answer from A Rucun.
Candice hugged Rama without saying any words.
"Because you have determined that you are sacrificing. Although it is a subjective initiative, from an individual point of view, you still think that you are only giving but not getting anything."
"When what you give is precious, you will still be unhappy."
"Okay, okay, stop analyzing." Candice sighed, "Has anyone ever said that you are bad at talking?"
Rama recalled it, "Yes, but I don't agree with what he said."
"Did I analyze it wrong?"
"Yes, yes, your analysis is so right." Candice squinted her eyes, "Let me guess, your next answer should be compensation measures for the victims, right?"
"But this kind of thing about me... Okay, okay, just keep it simple. It's also my ability to serve people with sex, right? At least I have this kind of beauty!"
Giving up on myself.
No matter how she said this, Candice felt that something was wrong, so she simply chose the most direct explanation.
"You said that I chose this path for the sake of Aru Village. As a victim, those who benefited should know my sacrifice, but you wouldn't say that, would you?" Candice was a little skeptical.
This is the first remedy.
"No matter how low my emotional intelligence is, I would never say such a thing." Rama shook his head.
Wake up the villagers in Aru Village and tell them that you will receive preferential treatment because of the relationship between Candice and me. You must remember Candice's efforts.
To be honest, this is not making amends, this is trampling all their dignity underfoot and rubbing them together.
"Anyway, your core message must be that...well, your efforts will be rewarded, right?"
Candice was speechless.
"It's really greedy to want to take away your body and soul."
The beauty's head was pressed against Rama's ear. She recalled the plot of the Inazuma light novel she had found temporarily, tentatively stuck out her tongue, and gently licked Rama's earlobe.
The explanation means that I know your helplessness, and I don’t think your initiative is cheap. If I like you, I still like you.
Rather than saying that I know your helplessness, so I pulled away and left you here. When you fall in love with me wholeheartedly, I will do things with you that adults should do.
Now there is no need to carry it.
Rama took a deep breath and put aside his unnecessary thoughts.
The night is still long, and there is still enough time to slowly teach more in-depth things.
