Chapter 523: Hit the Snake at its Weakest Point
"You were the only one on the royal wanted list, but in order to allow you to walk the streets of Country Y with honor, he still took the gamble. The feelings between you young people are always sincere and passionate, and it's touching."
Charles didn’t look like a literary youth, and now that he was sighing like this, Shen Weiyang felt more and more panicked.
"Duke Elliston, what do you mean by betting? If he goes to the Colosseum, will I be fine?"
"Just call me Charles," Charles sighed softly. "Offending the Queen isn't unforgivable, and it's not impossible to leave the Colosseum. The only prerequisite is that one must defeat ten top-tier beasts before leaving. Her Majesty will also show mercy and forgive his sins."
Shen Weiyang's lips turned pale as he thought of the giant rat they encountered when they were in no man's land.
If Ye Xiuli is really behind the Colosseum, then those so-called ferocious beasts in the Colosseum are most likely the ones that Chu Xi mentioned before that came out of the space crack.
She asked Charles in a trembling voice, "Duke Charles, have you ever seen those ferocious beasts in the Colosseum? What kind of beasts are they?"
Charles only went to see it once, but that one time was enough for him to remember it for the rest of his life.
"There are tigers, lions, and all sorts of other creatures, but they're bigger than the ones I know, and they look a little weird. They're also more powerful and faster."
Sure enough, it was not an ordinary beast.
Even if it was an ordinary beast, how could Leng Huaijin, a mortal, defeat it?
You can't give people guns in a place like the Colosseum.
Charles looked at Shen Weiyang in a daze and apologized to her with a little guilt.
"I'm sorry, Zhao Zhao. It's not that I didn't try to stop him, but I really couldn't. I only had contact with him a few times over a decade ago, and as an elder, I really can't teach him a lesson."
Shen Weiyang forced a bitter smile and comforted Charles: "You don't have to blame yourself. No one can persuade him to do what he wants to do. Even if I was sober at the time, I couldn't persuade him if he decided to go."
How ridiculous.
He had previously warned himself not to take risks on his own initiative, but in the blink of an eye, he went there himself.
Leng Huaijin, you bastard.
Charles comforted him, "Don't worry too much. That kid is very capable. Maybe he will be fine. The Colosseum will give you weapons to defend yourself."
But there will be no hot weapons such as guns and ammunition.
Shen Weiyang looked at Charles and asked, "Did he tell you how long he asked you to watch me?"
"He said it would take about a month," Charles paused, hesitating slightly. "According to the rules of the Colosseum, if he can hold on until the end, which is the last duel in a month, he said that if he can't return by then, he asked me to contact Colonel Lu of your Country A."
Shen Weiyang clenched his fists and held back the pain in his eyes: “Duke Charles, can I go in, into that Colosseum with him.”
Charles immediately stopped him, saying, "Zhao Zhao, don't be impulsive. If you go in now, you'll only be able to challenge the other ten beasts alone. Not only will you not be able to help him, but you'll also be put in danger yourself."
Looking at Shen Weiyang’s helpless and painful look, Charles couldn’t bear it and sighed: “You can only go through the last duel. This is what Her Majesty the Queen specifically said.”
Shen Weiyang sneered: "She wanted to see me in pain because of Ajin's injury, to avenge me for causing her sadness by wearing her daughter's clothes that day?"
The other person was his sister, so Charles couldn't comment on anything. He just sighed: "She had two children, one was Haya's father, and the other was Anna. They're both gone. It's quite pitiful. That's why I can be a little extreme sometimes."
After he finished speaking, fearing that Shen Weiyang would misunderstand, he immediately added an explanation: “Don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying that she is right to do this.”
Shen Weiyang understood: “Don’t worry, I didn’t think much about it, thank you for being willing to help us.”
After she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment and asked Charles, "Duke Charles, could you please tell me what the relationship is between Her Majesty the Queen and Ye Xiuli, or Prince Suoya?"
Charles was stunned: "Why are you asking this for no reason?"
Charles was kind to her and willing to help her, so she didn't want to hide it from him, so she said directly: "I suspect that the person who framed me that day was Ye Xiuli."
Charles's expression changed, and he said earnestly, "Then you should stop being curious about this kind of thing. Do you want to find out about the dress?"
"Zhao Zhao, Her Majesty was angry that day, but she's a queen, so she can't be stupid. Doesn't she know someone is framing you? Doesn't she know who's at fault? But even if she knows, what does it matter? You shot her crown off in public, bringing shame to the royal family. This matter must come to an end, and you must pay the price."
His tone was a little hurried and stern.
"Zhao Zhao, don't get too involved in the royal family's affairs. It won't benefit you. Let me be frank with you. Even if Her Majesty knew that it was Ye Xiuli who framed you, it wouldn't change the current situation. Besides the pain of losing her daughter, Her Majesty is using you as a scapegoat to vent her anger and maintain the royal family's authority and reputation."
Shen Weiyang clenched her hands, wondering what else she could do for Ajin.
She really wanted to go to the Colosseum and share his suffering, but her reason told her not to.
The consequence of sharing hardships was that the situation went from bad to worse and they died together in the Colosseum.
The most sensible thing to do now is not to cause trouble in the Colosseum, but to wait for Ajin to defeat the last ferocious beast in a month.
But she had to do something.
Being framed into such an embarrassing and helpless situation, I absolutely cannot let it go.
After Charles finished explaining the interests at stake, his tone softened a bit. "Zhao Zhao, I'm advising you this way because I consider you my idol, a friend of different generations. It's not that I don't want to talk about royal family matters, but there are some things I only know a little about. Although I'm Her Majesty the Queen's brother, the connection between me and the royal family is already very weak."
"I know," Shen Weiyang restrained her impatience and anger caused by the royal family's excessive behavior, and thanked Charles in a calm tone, "I am very grateful that you can tell me so much."
Charles looked at her uncertainly and asked, "Have you figured it out now? Will you still go to the Colosseum to find him? Are you still going to worry about the dress?"
Shen Weiyang shook his head.
Charles was relieved. "That's right. The more times like this, the more you need to stay calm. Don't you people in Country A often say that impulse is the devil?"
Shen Weiyang: “Don’t worry, I won’t be impulsive. Ajin is still in there, and I can’t be so smart as to hurt him.”
Every resistance she puts forward against the royal family will only cause Leng Huaijin to suffer more.
But you have to hit the snake at its most vulnerable part.
In this incident, the royal family is just a pawn.
