Chapter 236: The Tin Knight and The Witch of Heaven’s Change (6)
“You killed Jeras and his subordinates, shook the nation with the bone flute. You saw through Mombi’s identity, destroyed our old capital, and now you’ve even conquered this tower and come before my eyes,” Lotbart Rognir continued speaking in an extremely calm manner. “Truly remarkable achievements. Unparalleled majesty. You’ve done well to come this far with barely a handful of people. Regardless of likes or dislikes, I can’t help but acknowledge at least that much.”
He showed no signs of impatience.
Despite everything he had built up so far crumbling down, he remained rational even in front of Adelaide, who could be called the culprit.
As if to say that this itself was the qualification of a king.
“Adelaide von Lennart. I know about you. I investigated you. A girl who lost her family and fell to ruin due to the plan we devised. Your anger towards me could indeed be called just.”
Like a wise and benevolent king, he affirmed Adelaide’s actions.
He judged her desire for revenge as righteous.
“However… even if the direction is correct, the blood spilled while walking that path cannot all be justified. Countless lives ended due to your actions. Among them were many who had no connection to your father’s death and were just living as members of the tower. Is that all? You shattered a city, so innocent residents living there died, and because your actions caused a war, the damage from that is also enormous.”
But it was a cunning deception.
While not denying the goal itself, it was rhetoric that condemned the sins she had committed and pointed them out.
“How far do you intend to go? How far will you advance? Your father and your domain’s soldiers were annihilated, so do you also intend to annihilate our bloodline? Like my granddaughter you just passed by, will you slaughter even children who know nothing?”
Adelaide did not answer Lotbart’s words.
