As early as six years ago, Thales, who had not yet become a prince, was told by Gilbert in Mindith Hall:
The history of stars has never lacked blood.
Crimson.
This is, the real blood?
Thyls fixedly looked at the emotional Semuel.
The other party reminded him of the roar that the former Duke of the North had almost hopelessly vented in the Fuxing Palace a long time ago.
The same hatred.
The same pain.
The same bleak.
And the same...all the money.
The atmosphere in the storage room reached a depressed climax, and even Belletti, who stopped in front of Thales, dropped his weapon in a trance.
Semuel’s gasp was filled with long-lasting resentment, and Nakey bit his lower lip tightly, and Barney looked up like a lost traveler in the fog.
As for Saker, he just clutched his forehead and dropped his head deeply.
No words.
Even the fast rope, who tried his best to behave as irrelevant, unintentionally revealed a thought and surprise that the low-level mercenaries didn't have, and looked at Thales.
What do you want to do?
But Thales ignored him, just staring firmly at the focus of the court.
Finally, after the extreme hustle and bustle and the extreme silence, the once-disappeared voice reappeared tremblingly:
"What are they talking about, Saker?"
Thyles, who was in a complicated mood, turned his eyes away.
I saw Barney Kneeling on the ground, staring at a pair of eyes that seemed to have been ravaged by a storm, and asked blankly:
"Father? Canstar? They..."
Sackel did not speak.
The knight trembled and turned his head slightly.
He concealed his face in that moment so that his colleagues would not catch a glimpse of it.
This is not what he wants.
No.
Never.
But from Thacker’s silence, Barney Jr. has already sensed something.
"Their allegiance...is another star? Another...Your Highness?"
Barney Jr. repeats in a daze, ignoring the loss on Naki's face and the unhappiness in Semir's eyes.
"Answer me!"
The other party's unusual silence stimulated Barney, and his tone became increasingly urgent.
Naki snorted.
Little Barney turned to him when he asked for help.
"Ask your father, ask our respected deputy captain," Naki whispered, the irony and accusation still lingering in his tone: "He is the one who came forward in secret, and gave orders to him. Promise instigator."
"It's a pity he didn't tell you."
Little Barney's loose eyes focused.
On the other side, Nai sighed like a fate.
"Enough."
Finally, Thacker's boring and mechanical voice sounded hollowly. He loosened his tight forehead and exposed his face to the fire again. His pupils were faint, reflecting the burning torch on the ground without a thought.
Insensitive.
Like a dead person.
"Why can't you let go," the penalty knight said in a daze, "let go of everything in the past."
"Keep everything in its original state, no increase or decrease, no more, no less."
Finally, there was still a trace of fluctuation in his steady and empty tone: "Let them end here."
"Why not."
These words made many colleagues' complexion slightly changed.
Naki's shoulders were shaking, he looked at Barney, with an ironic wry smile:
"Yes, why not?"
Wow!
Little Barney suddenly got up from the ground!
The senses devastated by the alchemy ball made him stagger for a second before he could stand firm.
"Because... Saker, because if that's true..."
At that moment, the embarrassed little Barney showed a rare excitement from his numb eyes:
"If the Scarlet Year is really a...it means...it means..."
He looked eagerly and eagerly at his other colleagues: Weeping Cannon, Sobbing Brie, Desolate Tardin, Belletti and Nye exchanging eyes.
I seem to want some support.
But none of the colleagues responded, only Semir sneered disdainfully.
Thyls sighed softly.
He cleared his throat and spoke in the unbearable silence and darkness:
"That means, Barney, the people who vowed allegiance to the royal family of Canstar, including your father, maybe they did not treason."
The prince's words floated in the dungeon, making Barney's eyes more and more bright.
Tyers felt the exhaustion and pain all over his body, and tried his best to make his voice sound stable and friendly, so that he could comfort the wounded poor man in front of him a little:
"At least not so absolute and thorough."
The voice of the prince made the guards react differently. Some bowed their heads and said nothing, some opened their mouths, and some closed their eyes and sighed.
But Thales ignored them, he just spoke slowly, with the loneliness and sorrow that a teenager never had before:
"They are still loyal to Canxing, but just follow orders..."
"In the infighting of the royal family, choose sides to stand in line."
"Choose the main one."
Then fight to death.
Thyls buried this sentence in his heart.
Little Barney's expression loosened slightly, as if he had some relief.
The members of the guard were silent, whether they knew it or not, regardless of their title.
The dungeon was silent again, but the fast rope watching by the side felt that the silence this time was no longer so uncomfortable.
"Really, are they," Little Barney nodded quietly, repeating blindly:
"They are just...they are just..."
On the other side, Thaker let out a long sigh.
"Don't blame them, Barney," there is sadness hidden in the penalty knight's eyes:
"Especially your father."
"In that chaotic era, family, vows, righteousness, loyalty, tradition, kingship, relatives, kingdom, majesty, majesty... They just, they just don't know in so many objects..."
Sark Elton paused, as if organizing his own language:
"What should I be loyal to."
After saying this, the penalty knight closed his eyes lonely and released his clenched fist.
Little Barney stared at the floor tiles blankly. He was filled with contradictions and suddenness, and he seemed to be speechless.
But at this moment, Naki sneered again with disdain.
"Humhhhhhhh..."
Everyone raised their eyes.
"You are too optimistic, Saker."
Naki shook his head, eyes flashing gray:
"You missed a part and didn't say it."
"The worst part for us."
Barney was taken aback.
Thyls's expression tightened.
What?
Naki’s voice is suffocating pain:
"If this is the truth of the Scarlet Year, it means..."
"It means we..."
Nakedon lived, as if he couldn't speak anymore.
Sackel did not speak, but his numb facial muscles began to tremble.
Semir seemed to understand, he took the conversation.
"I understand."
Semir’s resentment disappeared without a trace, and what followed was a depressed mood:
"If the Scarlet Year is a **** infighting in the family, **** homicide..."
"Barney, even if I try my best to escape from prison, and tirelessly seek help and revenge, even if you work hard to atone for your sins and send this prince named Canxing back to the capital..."
A few seconds later, Barney figured out something.
His slightly **** face solidified again.
The slackness in the face disappeared, and with it came a lingering fear.
The reaction of the members of the guard was mixed. Some expressions showed relief, some numbly shook their heads, and some frowned.
"Even if we find out who is the mastermind and inner respondent of the coup..."
"Even if we prove the innocence and loyalty of ourselves and the rest of our colleagues..."
"Even if we..."
Semir choked up when he said this, lowered his head, speech lonely:
"It doesn't make any sense anymore."
Little Barney's body seemed to be severely hammered and shook severely.
"For the stability of the rule, the reputation of the royal family, and the authority of the Palace of Rejuvenation, whether it is King Kessel or his successor, or the entire Star Kingdom, will never allow the ugly truth of the Scarlet Year It was revealed, let alone made public, in broad daylight."
Semir glanced at Thales from a distance.
There are too many things in that glance: hatred, unrestrained, desolate, desperate...
Thyles feels heavier.
"On the contrary, the people we have sworn allegiance to, they will do everything possible to bury the truth, cover up the facts, and distort justice."
"Because people think that the noble and wise Star Family cannot be the person responsible for Scarlet Years."
"The ‘True Killer’ of the year will always and only be the mysterious ‘mortal enemy’ of the Rumored Canstar Royal Family, ‘it’ only hides the curtain and never shows up."
Little Barney is like a walking dead, listening to Semir's words blankly.
"And our... colleagues who died in battle will never wait for justice. The 37 people who died are unlikely to get Zhaoxue, and the survivors can only bear a stigma for the rest of their lives."
"As the royal guard of the Star Kingdom, we can only be and must be traitors to the enemy!"
Sacuel shook sharply, as if struck by a flash of lightning.
His colleagues all turned pale, with sad eyes, as if they were undergoing the final judgment.
Semir's words are getting more and more rushing, more and more ruthless:
"We can only be negligent sinners, incompetent cowards!"
"Never reverse the case, never stop until death."
Except for Semir's voice, the dungeon was terribly silent.
Semir took a breath and slowly recovered his stability, but the desolation and despair in his tone could not be added:
"No matter how innocent and pitiful those who don't know, no matter how pure and loyal a lone minister like Barney is, no matter how unjustly unwilling like me is to complain."
"No matter how miserable and desolate your father's **** is, you can't help it."
"No matter how unfair this is to us."
Little Barney's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Because..."
Semir looked crazy:
"Because as the royal guard, we are destined to be victims under the nine-pointed star emblem... and scapegoats."
Thyls listened in silence.
He remembered the numb and frozen expression of King Kessel V standing in front of the stone urns of the Can-Star family in the Tomb of Can-Star.
[I don’t know how much you know about us, or what you imagine about the name of the star. 】
Thyls took a deep breath.
He just felt that the air in his lungs became colder and denser.
Sackel turned his head, as if he couldn't bear to listen anymore.
No one can see his face.
Semir raised his head:
"This is why Sackel prefers to remain silent, why Naki doesn’t want to ask for justice and just wants to leave silently, and why everyone is pretending to be deaf and dumb when the prison breaks down. Numb."
Semuel said miserably:
"Because they know it doesn't make sense at all."
Barney Jr. looked at his colleagues in disbelief, and many of them bowed their heads in shame in the face of his gaze.
Sackel still said nothing.
"Barney, for eighteen years, the things that have supported us to live--whether Xixue has been wronged or justified, or even the ridiculous so-called revenge, are all vain."
"All the struggles we have done, all the hopes we have, all the aspirations we place in our hearts, all the answers we seek: justice, justice, truth, innocence, freedom..."
Semir’s words are choppy with breathlessness, and there are insoluble pains in them:
"All in vain."
Little Barney turned his head mechanically, the expression in his eyes getting stiffer and numb.
Semir took a deep breath, looked at the bottomless dark corridor, and ended his words with a sad smile:
"In a corner of history, we, the former royal guards, are destined to bury their bones in dust and lose sight of the sun."
Plop!
The fluttering words seemed to knock Barney to the ground again with unprecedented strength.
Nye let out a soft breath, Belletti remained motionless.
Taldin, Curry, and Cannon seem to have fallen into eternal rigidity and silence.
The dungeon is silent again.
Naki stared at a torch beside him with a faint smile, turning his cheek unaccustomed to its flame, and letting a muffled sound in his throat.
"Do you know what I am most jealous of and hate you most, Barney?"
Naki is low and tunnel.
"Eighteen years, although you have lived stupidly in lies."
"But at least, you still live in the hope you have woven."
"In this bottomless dungeon shrouded in darkness, you live in the only place... where light can shine."
With a soft muffled sound, the torch on the ground went out.
Naki's figure was once again taken into the terrible darkness.
Thyls closed his eyes lightly, not looking at Barney's bloodless expression.
[The history of stars has never lacked blood. 】
At one time, Thales' understanding of "blood" was still on the surface. The scene he could think of that best matched the word was the ecology of beggars in abandoned houses in Xiacheng and the gang struggle in the underground world.
With the change of identity, journeys and broadening of knowledge (whether he wants or not), Thales gradually touched the pulse of the Scarlet Year from different angles:
The silence in the tomb of the star, the desperate roar of the Duke of the North in the Fuxing Palace, the speechless mourning of Lyman's Pass, the nostalgia for the old days in the eyes of veteran Jenard, the flower of the fortress is both cheerful and heavy With his eyes, Little Soldier Willow talked about the desolation of the dead girl, the lonely figure of the wrath of the kingdom under the setting sun, the coldness and loneliness of the ghost prince tower, and the pale and trembling of Marina when she expressed her love.
Too many people are trapped and unable to extricate themselves.
Thyls thought he was beginning to understand the cruel side of the Scarlet Year.
Until now.
Until now, the members of the Royal Guard who met again in the prison of bones, there was cruel suspicion and confrontation between them.
This is the Scarlet Year.
An eternal nightmare that shrouds all, as if you can never wake up.
"Hahahaha..."
Barney's bleak laughter broke Thales' heavy thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Barney's face is no longer gloomy and sad.
Only a smile is left.
"Hahahahahaha..."
numb, static, false and indifferent smile.
Like a clown in a circus.
Like the smiling faces they painted with paint.
A smile that makes people faintly disturbed.
No one knows what is hidden under the arc of the smile.
There was a tingling in Thales' heart.
"That's it!"
Little Barney laughed and shouted desolately.
"Allen, Walker, Bobby, Molian, Larley, Kim, "Skull", Rogo..."
He murmured nervously with names that made Thales feel unfamiliar. He didn't even look at the people around him. He just stretched out his arms towards the dark ceiling and laughed wildly:
"Eighteen years of imprisonment, so much bloodshed, so long persistence... It turns out that it didn't make any sense."
Barney smiled so that the marks on his face curled up a bit:
"We, what are we fighting for? What do we live for? What do we die for?"
No one can answer him.
Naki stared at him coldly, while Semir snorted softly in his nose.
Sacuel seems to have become a sculpture, silent amidst Naki’s accusation, Semir’s confession, and Barney’s questioning.
Taldin and the others have lost their expressions, but lost hope.
Thyls shook his head, and responded negatively to the look in the fast rope's query.
Little Barney's laughter slowly became stagnant and difficult to understand, and he fell down again.
"For what?"
Belleti stared blankly at the former Chief Pioneer.
"Barney..."
He spoke embarrassedly~IndoMTL.com~ It seemed that he wanted to comfort Barney, who seemed to be completely gaffe, but he couldn't speak.
But the next moment, Barney's actions made him feel shocked!
Dacha!
The little Barney, who was laughing enough, put away the arc and grabbed his long sword that fell to the ground!
Everyone was shocked.
Even Thacker looked up.
I saw Barney's eyes flushed and he was shaking.
He put the sword blade on his palm.
He fixedly stared at the sword's edge that had gone through several battles, with curls and missing edges.
Then turned the blade to...
Own neck.
At that moment, Thales suddenly changed color when he realized what he was going to do!
