The girl was very puzzled and looked at her brother with wide eyes.

"This is the inevitable choice for the family's future. You can't follow the same path as me." Perses shook his head, and under his gaze, the girl gradually lowered her head.

"You join the organization, take a small role within it, and then settle down."

"The next one to two years will be tough. You have to persevere, do your job well, and impress others."

"Brother, do you trust the Fairywood organization so much? Didn't you say before that they were a group of naive idealists?"

"Yes, very naive, but also very cute. Don't you like people like this?" He pointed out the things that his sister usually paid attention to privately.

"People are different. My path is not suitable for you. Because of the protection you received as a child, you lived in a simple environment and did not suffer too many setbacks. Besides, it would be too inconvenient for a girl to enter my line of work." As the night grew colder, he put on the coat beside him.

"I'm sure you understand what I'm doing. It involves a lot of killing and scheming, and the people below me probably have all sorts of ulterior motives."

"If you rashly participate, you will only be eaten clean, and then I will have to spend time seeking revenge or picking up corpses. This is really unpleasant."

Hearing these words, the girl opposite could only bite her lip and dared not refute.

"But, but is joining this organization a good choice? Although I have some good feelings towards them, I feel that their hope is not very high." The girl hesitated and expressed her thoughts.

"Naive." Persais commented simply.

"Do you think there are certain businesses in the world that are guaranteed to make money and have no risk?"

"No, in fact, even I have tried and failed time and time again, and then found a slightly more stable way."

"The Southern Territory is in chaos, so there's naturally room for me to maneuver. This is a rare opportunity, but it's destined not to last long."

"Once someone unites this land, arms dealers like me will inevitably become a thorn in their eyes that they hate and need to be removed."

"Do you think I can resist the search and pursuit of those soldiers? If I had that kind of strength, I wouldn't even be doing business here. I would have become king long ago."

"The prosperity and power we see now are only temporary."

"But we can go somewhere else and spend the rest of our lives in a safe place. In fact, I am always worried about my brother's safety." Although this brother is cruel and cold-blooded in the eyes of outsiders, for Linos, it was this brother who protected her since childhood and allowed her to grow up safely.

"Then I can do some simple and normal business, and my brother won't have to show up in public and attract bad people." She said in a low voice.

"childish."

"Carrying a large amount of unexplained wealth to a foreign country, facing an irresistible power, is like putting yourself on the chopping block to be slaughtered."

"Then we can bring more people."

"That would be more conspicuous and difficult to do." Persais stopped the innocent sister from speaking.

In the southern border, he is a well-known warmongerer. If he went to other places, he might be easily wiped out.

"Although I only sold the goods at 20% of the price this time, it is not a loss-making deal. In fact, many of them were obtained without spending any money." There was a hint of blood behind his words.

"Now is a critical and tense moment, and the other party is in urgent need, so they bought a large amount. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find such high-quality customers in the future." Perses then briefly explained the reasons for this transaction.

"Everything deteriorates over time, including weapons and goods."

"You've seen the Empire's army. They're updating their weapons year after year. If these goods are held for too long, their value won't appreciate. There's even a risk of depreciation. So now is the best time to sell them."

"I understand, but in the end, why did you send me over?"

"Because you are suitable." Persais bent down, took out the wine stored under the seat and poured himself a glass.

"You have a simple and understandable personality, and people can see through you at a glance. Although this is not conducive to competing in a dangerous environment, it is easy to gain trust around those noble people." He sniffed the aroma of the wine gently and drank it in small sips.

"As the Eastern saying goes, even fools have their own happiness." He glanced at his naive sister with his narrow eyes.

"With you there, they'll have more trust in me, a notorious person, which will be beneficial to long-term cooperation. Also, having a group of people like this to help me look after my sister will free up my hands to do many things."

"If they fail, I will take you away before everything is over. Even though this will delay me for a few years, it's not a big deal. After all, a fool's time is worthless."

"If they succeed, that's even better. You joined early, so as long as you perform a little better, it won't be difficult to get a mid-level position. After all, you have to take care of my partner's face."

"By then, it's best to find a suitable man to marry. He should preferably be around your age, not too complicated, and not too outstanding. You can't control him."

"This way, your life will be more or less settled for the rest of your life, and I won't have to worry about you anymore."

"If I encounter any mishap outside, at worst I can come to you to take shelter from the wind and rain."

"No, no, brother is not that kind of person." Linos shook her head. Although her brother had always been confident and calm, as their biological sibling, she could still sense the subtle changes in him.

If that moment really came, this brother would definitely not flee to me for refuge. He was so proud and confident that he would not allow anyone around him to see his miserable appearance. That would be more painful than killing him.

The carriage moved slowly in the night, its wheels rolling over the gravel and clods of earth on the roadside, making a slight noise and shaking slightly.

Persais looked at the silent night, put down his empty wine glass, and then spoke slowly.

"Everything must come to an end,"

"When I was young, I studied at the Royal Academy and met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was as bright as the sun. He was surrounded by many outstanding people. Those geniuses were like stars surrounding the moon and flowers in a cluster, filling me with hope and beautiful fantasies about the future of this country."

"But just one wedding, all the flowers withered, and the country changed."

"My life and career are like walking on the edge of a dangerous cliff, which may collapse at any time, but you will live in a stable place and pass on our family line."

“Everyone has a different mission, and this is what you do.”

"I understand, Brother-sama."

Lenore looked at the man in the dim candlelight and answered slowly, and the carriage slowly fell into silence.
