Chapter 304 (2): Despicable, Treacherous, Distorting Truths, Hypocritical Snob
“Wake up. The Queen may be beautiful, but as your senior in life, I’d advise you to give up,” Wayne said coolly. “Beauty ultimately becomes nothing more than a pile of bones. I, on the other hand, prefer the skeletal beauty.”
Julia perked up. She knew that Master loved her.
Coming from the Death Knight, talks about abstinence carried more weight, but Douglas had no interest in dwelling on it. He steered the conversation back on track.
“Sir Knight, Auston used his position as the liaison to fool Her Majesty and you, being disloyal to Her Majesty and dishonest to you. That’s why I replaced him. Nothing more.”
When the Death Knight didn’t say anything, Douglas breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “I’m here for another matter. Her Majesty has prepared her goodwill and hopes that you’ll appear at the critical moment as her ally.”
“Oh? What is the Queen doing?” Wayne’s curiosity was piqued. “Speak plainly. I don’t like people who only tell half the story like Auston. Don’t worry. My previous experience with the Queen was quite pleasant, and I promised that I would welcome more of such collaborations.”
“Sir Knight, a world war has erupted. The situation in Windsor is far from ideal. The Life Alliance and the Church of Heavenly Father are encroaching, and the Church of Death...”
“That’s enough. You’re even more dishonest than Auston!” Wayne scoffed derisively. “I told you, just tell me what the Queen wants. Don’t try to make it seem like you’re doing this for my benefit. The Church of Death? You speak as if you know the goddess well.”
“You’re right, Sir Knight.”
With strength came privileges, and the strong were predictably unpredictable. Douglas had no choice but to follow the Death Knight’s way.
Also, the Death Knight had been mentioning Auston every three sentences, which was bizarre. What was so great about Auston that everyone who had ever met him couldn’t stop thinking about him? This was supposed to be a conversation between Douglas and the Death Knight, yet the ex-liaison kept coming up. It was grating.
“Sir Knight, Her Majesty is preparing to reclaim the power she had delegated in the past, preparing for war and the encroachment from the Life Alliance and the Church of Heavenly Father. The Tulip Families, who benefitted from the delegation of power, are gathering strength to strike back. Her Majesty hopes that you’ll stand by her as an ally.”
