Huge eyes floated in the chaotic sky, with drops of dark mist seeping out from the edges.
Angus felt a chill on the back of his neck and suddenly looked to both sides.
At some point, the earth was filled with unspeakable weird things.
They look like people, but they are not people.
The five limbs seemed to be misplaced and constantly twisted, and each person's facial features were mechanically performing strange rituals under the giant eyes.
Angus stood up and looked behind him.
The dark believers that spread thousands of miles all reveal terror and ominousness.
Soon, those inhuman creatures stood upright. They reluctantly pulled their decadent bodies and began to dance in opposite directions, as if welcoming the gods observing the world from above.
The huge crow flew in the air, its beak slowly opened, and several swirling tongues flew in the air, collecting the black smoke seeping from the sky into its mouth.
All kinds of crazy scenes flashed through one eye in an instant.
Angus's head was held down by a giant disembodied hand and forced back. His eyeballs seemed to be pinched as he looked at the crow blankly.
The moment he looked at the scene in the crow's eyes, Angus's sanity began to collapse.
Everything in front of him seemed to become more ups and downs, and the obscure cries from the mouths of the believers became gradually clearer.
His eyes seemed to be eroded by smoke and became cloudy, and he muttered slowly:
"god."
...
The monotonous black color of ancient trees covered the entire room, with only a little bit of animal fur adding a little color to the room.
Kefla was sitting on a chair, leaning on the back of the seat, holding a tea cup, facing a thin man.
The man in front of her is her brother.
Jiaxiu Delin.
The man is relatively handsome, with straight and three-dimensional features, and always has a kind smile on his face.
His body does not have strong muscles. He seems to be too thin for a knight family.
Kefla was a little anxious, putting the tea cup in her hand on the table and picking it up from time to time.
The conference hall had been quiet for such a long time, and she didn't know what her father and Victor were talking about.
"Sister, please be patient."
Jia Xiu seemed to notice that Kefla was restless, and he smiled and reassured her.
Kefla looked at Jia Xiu, adjusted her emotions a little, shrugged, and said to her brother:
"It seems like what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Tell me, what do you and father want to do?"
Gwen needs to be called back to talk about the engagement, and even Victor needs to be called back.
All Kefla could think of was a change of engagement.
But her father excluded her again, so Kefla was even more confused.
What do they want to do?
Jia Xiu took the cup with the remaining tea from Kefla, replaced it with another, filled it with hot tea again, and smiled.
In this extremely cold place, there is nothing better than a cup of warm tea.
He pushed the hot tea in front of Kefla and said as if he mentioned it casually.
"Sister, what is your standard for judging justice?"
Kefla frowned, a little confused.
Why do you ask about this?
"You are older than me, so you should know better than me what kind of character my father was like back then."
Hearing Jia Xiu's words, Kefla lowered her head, as if she was lost in long memories.
When she was very young, the Delin family was not in the northern part of the empire, so she had a very deep impression of her childhood.
At that time, Saul VIII had just succeeded to the throne, and it was the time when he needed to win over people's hearts and consolidate his position.
At that time, Angus was also one of Emperor Aubrey's capable men.
But his justice was even more paranoid than Gwen's today.
That's even to the point of being pathological.
There was no room for evil in his eyes.
Once there is an existence that does not meet his standards of justice, he will only completely erase it.
As a politician, Kefla naturally knew what was going on among the nobles.
There are well-meaning nobles who do charity and help the poor, and there are also many nobles who exploit farmers and workers and do all kinds of evil.
If Kevlar is to be used as a criterion for judging kindness.
Discuss the deeds but not the heart.
But Angus was different at that time.
Even those nobles who do charity will have impure motives once Angus finds out.
Then this powerful knight will let them taste the sharpness of the sword's edge.
So this bigotry can no longer be called justice.
But Kefla didn't understand this when she was a child. She was like a very ordinary daughter, worshiping her upright father.
Until Emperor Aubrey decided that Angus's paranoid justice was beyond control.
So he asked the Delin family to move to northern Xinjiang and sent him to guard this cold place.
Although guarding the northern border was still a very important position, for Angus at that time, it was tantamount to the emperor's distrust of him.
As a result, Angus felt that his faith had suffered a heavy blow.
He agreed that he was doing the right thing.
But even the monarch who followed him thought he was wrong, so what was the point of maintaining his justice?
Angus, who moved to the north, began to keep to himself, recruiting apprentices here, carrying forward his knightly style, and doing his best to guard the northern frontier.
His justice is no longer so paranoid, and he even seems to have forgotten the justice he once had in his heart.
Later, as Kefla grew bigger and bigger, his younger brother Jia Xiu also gradually revealed his talent and edge.
Finally, Gwen was born.
Kefla likes her sister very much, but for some reason, both her father and Jia Xiu seem to avoid her.
Until Gwen grew up and showed her unusual abilities.
A heart of justice.
As a result, Gwen has not received any love from her parents since she was a child.
Angus, who was just at first, is no longer just, so Gwen's birth is more like a mockery and shame to Angus.
At least, that's what Kefla thought.
"So why are you talking to me about this?"
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the engagement between Gwen and Victor."
Jia Xiu shook his head and said with a half-smile.
"No, of course it's relevant."
"The engagement between the two can no longer continue."
Hearing Jia Xiu's answer, Kefla was a little confused. She looked at Jia Xiu and her brother who spoke astonishingly, as if she wanted to get a suitable answer from him.
"Why?"
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, and it seemed that even the air could form ice crystals.
Jia Xiu sighed.
"At this point, it's time for you to know something."
"Do you really think Gwen's heart of justice is just an ordinary innate ability?"
After listening to his brother's words, Kefla's face suddenly darkened and became extremely serious.
Jia Xiu still said indifferently.
"If you have read the description of the Goddess of Justice, then you will feel how similar that goddess is to Gwen."
"The same paranoid justice, the same ability to examine good and evil."
Jia Xiu's cold words reached Kefla's ears word by word.
Kefla understood everything.
Why, father, he has been silent to Gwen.
Why did they break off Gwen and Victor's engagement?
"Because Gwen needs to maintain this justice all the time, no one can influence her."
Victor is the one who might influence her.
Gwen couldn't like anyone, she couldn't yearn for anyone.
Once those unnecessary feelings arise, the justice in the heart will deviate.
Therefore, Gwen has not been exposed to family affection since she was a child.
As for that illusory love?
Ha, her engagement partner is Victor.
If it were the former Victor, it would be okay to keep this marriage.
Because Gwen, who hates Victor, will not let Victor affect the justice in her heart at all.
And now Victor is influencing Gwen subtly.
Anyone can see that Gwen's feelings for Victor have gradually changed.
"So, she must always maintain absolute justice in her heart."
"……Is it."
Kefla was silent for a while, then looked at Jia Xiu teasingly.
"You and your father want Gwen to become the goddess of justice?"
"It's not me, it's my father."
Jia Xiu corrected Kefla's mistake and smiled indifferently.
"From beginning to end, my father has always been a believer in that goddess."
"never change."
…
"It's so funny."
Kefla suddenly laughed, and there was something sad in her laughter.
"In my eyes, he has never changed."
"Although I know that he is not acting for profit, but now, his behavior makes me even more disgusted."
Uh-huh!
A silver-white dagger touched Jia Xiu's neck in an instant.
Jia Xiu sat on the chair without moving at all, as if he was not the one whose life was restricted.
Kefla's slightly trembling voice sounded:
"Gwen is his daughter, my sister, a living person!"
"Just because of that mythical legend, she lost the care and life that a normal girl should have."
"Jia Xiu, aren't you even a human being?"
Jia Xiu took out one hand and slowly pushed the dagger away from his neck.
"Sister, family love accounts for too much here."
As if he was extremely sure that Kefla would never take action, he said calmly:
"There are some things that my father should do throughout his life, and as his son, I should also share his worries."
Kefla's hands were a little weak. She tried to hold the dagger tightly and put it against Jia Xiu's neck again, but she couldn't do it.
Just as Jia Xiu said, family love accounts for too much here in Kefla.
but……
"I'm sorry, you have already fallen short."
Kefla put away the dagger, her expression was neither sad nor happy, she just explained slowly.
"Gwen's heart of justice has failed."
"...?"
Suddenly, there was an astonishing explosion in the conference room, and the powerful air wave shook the glass of the house where Kefla was located.
The huge explosion completely attracted their attention.
Kefla was stunned for a moment.
what's the situation?
Victor is having sex with his father-in-law?
