Chapter 285: We are not killing, but protecting

He was not the first person to discover the fire, but he was the first person to rush into the fire with water on his body.

“Help…Help…”

Someone was begging behind the door, his voice as weak as a cat's.

Without time to think, Gwatt pushed the door open with great effort, picked up the injured Dean and rushed out.

The fire was so big that it hurt like hell when it burned on my body.

When he staggered out of the fire with Dean, Dean had completely fainted, with one of his little hands tightly grasping his robe, which showed the most primitive desire and appeal of human beings for survival.

Gwart was overwhelmed by the emotion.

He wanted to save more people. After he pulled the robe out of Dean's hand, he was about to rush into the fire again, but was stopped.

"Father!" Gwart looked at the man who stopped him, his eyes full of disbelief. "Father, what are you doing? There are still people in the fire! I can save more people!"

The father didn't say anything. He just glanced at the unconscious Dean and made a gesture.

Immediately someone came out from the darkness, grabbed Dean by the collar and was about to throw him back into the fire.

"Father! Don't!" Gwart was dumbfounded. He didn't know why his respected father would do this. "I rescued Dean with my own hands. I rescued him! Father! What are you going to do?"

"You want to save him?" the father asked.

"Yes, father, I can save more people!" Gwart said anxiously as he looked at the fire: "If father doesn't let me go, it will be too late!"

His father didn't say anything, nor did he move aside. He just looked at him quietly.

Finally, his father made a gesture, and the man threw Dean back into Gwart's arms.

Gwat held young Dean in his arms, feeling even more relieved, when he heard a suppressed cry.

Immediately afterwards, a little girl had her mouth covered and her hair pulled, and was thrown into the fire right in front of him.

The opponent's movements were so quick and skillful that he didn't even have a chance to stop him.

"No!" Gwart was completely shocked by the scene before him: "Father!"

Gwat put Dean down and was about to run into the fire, but someone held him down from behind and pinned him to the ground.

"Gewatt." His father came to Gewatt's side and looked at the flames rising into the sky with him. His voice was cold and indifferent: "This country has become rotten. The people of this country have been blessed by the Star God, but they have lost their reverence for the Star God.

From today on, they should recall the prophecy about the Star God and everything about the Star God.

The Holy See is the closest entity to the Star God and is the one who directly conveys the Star God's guidance.

The royal family and people of this country are extremely stupid.

If they disrespect the Star God, they will definitely suffer the punishment from the Star God.

This is the punishment of the Star God!"

Gwatt looked at the flames rising into the sky and listened to the people being burned to death inside wailing and crying out in pain. His mind was in a mess.

Even after a long time, he could not forget that scene. Whenever he was alone, he could feel the burning pain brought by the fire and the hoarse roars and pleas for mercy.

And the last words his father said to him in the firelight that day: "Gwat, remember, only by sacrificing a small number of people can we gain the happiness and safety of more people. We are not killing, but protecting."

Not killing, but protecting?

Yeah?

Are you guarding?

Gwat didn't know, he only knew that his father didn't get the result he wanted, but instead angered the royal family.

Prince Leon and Princess Leon held a grand wedding in Starfall Park, and he also went there that day.

The princess is very beautiful.

Although not as good as his sister, he could see that Leon loved her very much, and his eyes were bright when he looked at her.

From childhood to adulthood, Leon had never looked at Vivian like this.

Maybe Leon really never loved Vivian.

On the day after visiting the wedding, he returned to the Vatican in a daze to meet Vivian.

He had thought Vivian would be sad and weeping, but she wasn't. Instead, she was trimming the branches of a bunch of lilies. Seeing him come in, she smiled at him and said, "Brother, did you go to see the prince's wedding? Was it lively?"

"It's okay." Gwart didn't know what to say to Vivian.

"That's great. I wanted to go and see it too..." Vivian sighed regretfully, "But my presence there might just be a burden to Leon, and my father would be angry too. Forget it~ As long as he's happy, that's all that matters."

As Vivian spoke, she continued to prune the branches and hummed the nursery rhyme sung by the Church in praise of the Star God.

Gwat had a lot of questions to ask Vivian. He wanted to know if Vivian would mind if Prince Leon married someone else. He wanted to know if Vivian would be sad. He wanted to know if Vivian wanted to eat, play, or go anywhere.

But Gwart's mind was also in a mess, and he really didn't have the energy to care about Vivian's thoughts.

[Vivian isn't the only one suffering! ]

When this thought came out, even Gwatt was shocked.

When did he become so extreme? He actually took his anger out on his own sister.

So far, Vivian is the most innocent person!

Perhaps he was unable to face his own meanness, so he fled from Vivian's side and walked around the Vatican in a daze. He began to doubt his life, his faith, and even his father.

Everything I believed in before became unreal and ridiculous at this moment.

What is true, after all?

At this moment, a small hand held his fingertips.

Gwat looked down and met a pair of big eyes and a wounded face.

It was the child he rescued from the fire.

He said his name was Dean.

His parents both died in the fire, and he was the only one who survived.

"I remember, it was you who saved me." Dean looked at Gwart with eyes sparkling with admiration: "Thank you, Mr. Gwart, it was you who saved me. From now on, I will carry on with my parents' share and live well!"

After saying this, Dean blushed and ran away. After stopping, Dean turned around and waved his arms vigorously at Gwart: "Thank you! I will live well!"

The moment he heard those words, Gwat felt unprecedented relief. He still managed to hold on to something.

Maybe my father was right. They were just sacrificing the lives of a small number of people to make more people happy.

Yes, my father was right.

He also protected Dean's life and future happiness.

Gwat could feel that when the sunlight shone on him that day, it was warm and had the fragrance of flowers.

But now...

Gwat looked at Dean, who was kneeling at the door with an almost desperate look on his face, and Gwat's head buzzed.

How could this happen? How could this happen?
