The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 168: The third miracle


As the quarrel between Arthur and Orpheus became more intense, their voices became louder and louder.

Although they haven't started smashing things or taking action yet, they have obviously started to get involved. Everyone else in the room either stayed away or remained silent, watching them argue.

In this fierce quarrel, the first person to become uneasy was Selicia, who was not allowed to go over to break up the fight under Annan's order.

But she was not upset because the two friends were quarreling, nor was she worried that they would fight here...

After all, neither Arthur nor Orpheus are idiots. Arguing with reason can also be said to express one's own position and ideas - not to mention that they sincerely believe that the other party is wrong, and they will not think that there is anything wrong with their own words.

But let’s talk about it.

It would be unseemly to fight in front of a **** and the Duke of Winter——

After all, they are not ordinary people with no scruples.

Arthur is the cardinal of the Pardoner, and he will not do anything unreasonable in front of his own gods; while Orpheus is about to form a close cooperative relationship with Archduke Annan...or to put it more clearly, that is Ofishi needs Annan's help.

Although they are superior, they are still rational.

But it is impossible to take action - but after getting the upper hand, it is still inevitable to start to settle old scores with each other.

The reason why Selicia feels panic is...

This was the first time she realized that there was such a strong conflict between her partners.

The more she listened, the more terrified she became.

The depth of this conflict was obviously not a conflict that arose during their separation.

But it is a conflict that has existed for a long time... maybe even before they met on "Silver". It's just that they took care of their own emotions and obeyed their own management without revealing this contradiction.

But because Selicia didn't notice it at all.

She used her charm to force these people together. As they traveled, the conflicts between them not only did not ease, but instead accumulated and deepened.

Celicia did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Every time they quarreled, they thought it was just a trivial matter and would step forward to pull them apart. Arthur and Orpheus are both very rational and mature people... Just as they won't fight now, they won't show their conflicts when they are persuaded by Selicia.

This conflict is like wine, accumulated in the bottom of my heart. The longer we travel together, the more mellow it becomes...

——As a result, the conflict between them has never been truly resolved.

On the contrary, it was because of their strange physical relationship with Selicia that they were both lovers. The initial "hate" and "hostility" had gradually turned into "hate". It's just one step away from turning into "murderous intent".

It was only now, when Annan really made them have a good fight, that Selicia realized from their behavior that although she was a lover with both of them.

But she actually doesn't understand them at all.

It's like a mother who doesn't understand the conflicts accumulated between her two children. Instead, they simply "stopped the fight and waited for them to calm down before thinking". As a result, the conflicts between them gradually accumulated into hatred.

"...Is this my fault?"

Celicia murmured in a low voice: "I was too arrogant before, which made their relationship become like this..."

Annan, who was in front of him, turned his head slightly and glanced at the trembling Selicia.

He sighed and said softly: "Yes and no."

Celicia didn't realize the crux of the problem at all.

The demonic confidence and charm that Celicia once possessed have been lost along with her loss of gold rank.

In other words, as the "Captain in the Stone" and boasted as the "poppy poppy in the deep rock", Selicia seems to have everything in hand and can deal with everything calmly. Confidence is exactly the foreign thing hatched from her extreme inferiority complex in the past.

It was her memory of having nothing that was so vivid and strong that made her feel such strong confidence, self-esteem, and pride when she "had everything." Just like a successful person who comes from a grassroots background and starts from scratch... it is precisely because she knows the "suffering of the bottom" that she has such a clear understanding of her current success.

That's why she has such dazzling confidence.

For the "Silver Troupe" who are all losers, that kind of self-confidence is the "starlight" that leads them to become human again, or the "torch" that guides the future direction.

If I had to use one word to sum up her, it would be - [Captain].

It is precisely because of Selicia's comprehensive suppression in terms of appearance, level, ability, etc... That kind of almost crazy casualness that is not afraid of anything and does not care about any moral values, for these wandering and confused people For losers, it’s the poisonous and addictive poppy.

All the crew members on the "Silver", including Lucia, are lovers and have had **** with Selicia. But other than that, Selicia doesn't think much of anyone other than "her crew."

——That kind of relationship is actually closer to the taming of her by the Winter Defying Man than "lover" or "lover".

That is, the relationship between "dog and owner".

After Selicia fell back to the Silver level, that absolute control naturally broke down.

Just like "pets" that are relatively friendly to each other at first, they will become completely different after leaving their owners.

The conflict between Arthur and Orpheus is exactly what they will never show in front of Selicia... their "true selves".

In the final analysis~IndoMTL.com~It is precisely because of their positions that they cannot coexist.

Arthur Burning Tooth's wish is to become the head of the family.

The head of the Zhuoya family is also the master of the Lava Forbidden Tower—a member of the "Advisory Council" and the real power behind Denisowa.

But what Orpheus wanted to do was to revive Denisoja. Not to become the hollow "King Denisoya" with an empty title, but to take back all the power that has been suppressed and divided by the oligarchs and nobles.

——The contradiction between them is irreconcilable.

The realization of one person's wish must be accompanied by the shattering of another person's wish.

Rather, being able to stay together for so long... is a miracle in itself.

The miracle called "love".

——The third miracle.
