Chapter 445 The Unexpected Yukino
Hakuto's cold words not only chilled Laeticia's heart, but even Charlotte looked at him with some disbelief.
Based on her previous interactions with Hakuto, he didn't seem like such a cold-blooded and heartless person. So why was he able to say such cold-blooded words now?
"If it were from a personal standpoint, I would have some compassion. But unfortunately, I am now standing on the standpoint of the nation. Therefore, I will not harbor any personal compassion."
"Besides, the ordinary people of this country are not innocent. They enjoy the benefits of the country, so on what grounds can they say that this has nothing to do with them?"
"So don't use my sympathy to morally blackmail me. As long as I have no morals, you can't blackmail me. And I have never been a moral person."
Laeticia and Charlotte looked at Hakuto, not knowing what to say. Hakuto had said he was an immoral person, so Laeticia suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
Hakuto's statement of "I have no morals" directly left Laeticia unsure of what to say. Continuing to ask Hakuto to save the people of France seemed like a joke.
"Alright, Laeticia. I came here for profit. If you want me to sacrifice my interests for the sake of so-called sympathy, for the sake of so-called lives, to reduce bloodshed, then I'm sorry, but you've misjudged me."
"If there is profit, then no matter how many people die, it doesn't matter to me."
Laeticia sighed. Although she had already guessed this would be the outcome, she had still held onto a glimmer of hope. But now, that hope was completely shattered.
Laeticia smiled bitterly and shook her head. Charlotte looked at her somewhat hesitantly, wanting to say something. She also wished Hakuto could stop the war from breaking out. But Charlotte also understood that she couldn't bring herself to say it, nor could she open her mouth.
Although she had already had a relationship with Hakuto, to be honest, Charlotte didn't think Hakuto would change for her sake.
So Charlotte hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't speak.
Laeticia looked at Hakuto without speaking. Hakuto ignored her. He held Charlotte, smelling the fresh scent of her hair.
"Let's go. Back to the room."
After speaking, Hakuto picked up Charlotte and was about to return to the hotel room. But unexpectedly, Laeticia followed him for some reason.
Hakuto stopped and turned to look at Laeticia. "What are you doing?"
Laeticia glanced at Charlotte. "I want to have a good chat with Charlotte. Is there a problem?"
"Chat my ass. Charlotte and I are going to talk about life. Why are you following us? Want to be a third wheel and disturb us?"
Hakuto rolled his eyes and directly ignored Laeticia. Then he carried Charlotte into the room and closed the door tightly.
Watching Hakuto and Charlotte enter the room, an annoyed look appeared on Laeticia's face.
"Bastard."
She muttered curses under her breath but didn't speak again. Knowing that if she continued to follow, she would definitely be kicked out by Hakuto, Laeticia could only open another room next door.
Throughout the whole process, Charlotte kept her head buried in Hakuto's chest, not daring to lift her head. She was afraid that if she did, she would see Laeticia's gaze.
However, after entering the room, the thing Charlotte had imagined did not happen. Hakuto simply placed her on the bed, then sat down on the sofa and fell into thought.
Meanwhile, Laeticia next door was chatting with Artoria and Morgan in the diary copy chat group, hoping they would give up on taking revenge against France.
[Laeticia: @Morgan @Artoria, the people of France are innocent. I hope you can refrain from starting a war for the sake of these people.]
[Morgan: ???]
[Morgan: Where the hell did this saint come from? When France actively invaded Britain before, why didn't you step up and tell France not to invade Britain? Now that Britain wants revenge, you step up and say the people of France are innocent. So if France had successfully invaded, the people of Britain would have deserved to die?]
[Laeticia: No, it's not like that. If France had really invaded, I would definitely have come out to stop it. I just don't want to see a war happen. Once a war happens, it will be uncontrollable. Britain lost so many people in India because of the war. If they continue to wage war now, even more people will die.]
[Artoria: Whether Britain will go to war against France is not for us to decide, but for Hakuto to decide. If Hakuto wants Britain to go to war, then Britain must go to war against France. So if you want to stop the war, go talk to Hakuto.]
Artoria didn't waste words and directly told Laeticia that whether to start a war or not depended entirely on Hakuto. If Hakuto wanted a war, then war would happen. If Hakuto didn't want a war, then war wouldn't happen.
[Laeticia: I can't convince Hakuto. If possible, I would like to invite you both to help me persuade Hakuto. War only brings pain to the world.]
[Morgan: Should we say that this is worthy of the owner of the Jeanne D'Arc? Truly a saint. But what you want to be a saint has nothing to do with us. I don't care how many people die.]
[Yukino: Although war does indeed bring misfortune to the world, I still have to say that some things are unavoidable. Miss Laeticia, having kindness is a good thing, but sometimes you should think from Hakuto's perspective.]
[Kaguya: Yukino, I'm really surprised that you would say that. I thought you would agree with that saint's idea of stopping the war.]
[Erina: Indeed, Yukino is the most saintly person among all of us. I truly didn't expect her to side with Hakuto this time. It's really unexpected.]
[Alice: That's right. It's really surprising. I didn't expect Yukino to change her personality.]
[Yukino: What kind of image do I have in your minds?]
