Chapter 68 The End and Beginning of Everything...
Chapter 68
68.1
Lorenz Ebrard is not dead.
Olidisi lowered his eyes, and finally saw the truth of his previous life in mid-air:
In the southern reaches of Clare Bay, Lorenz's knights had "lost" the battle, defeated by the red-haired Count Felix. A chilling southerly wind blew, and the gentle murmur of Clare Bay's waves seemed to wail a mournful lament for the fallen knights.
The broken "Star Compass" flag fell in front of Clare Bay, and Lorenz Abrad lay on the charred ground. His left arm was cut off at the shoulder, and the bright red blood soaked the knight's armor.
"His Royal Highness Prince Constance wants to see the body of Lorenz Ebrard." said a knight.
Another knight kicked Lorenz: "Is he dead?"
"Dead as a wretch." Someone leaned over and flipped Lorenz's eyelids. "He's not breathing, his heart isn't beating. His arm is completely broken. 'Little Oplunsi's Morning Star' is just that."
Another knight uncertainly picked up his spear and stabbed Lorenz Ebrard in the stomach again.
The body on the ground didn't move at all.
"Hmm," the knight mused, "he's definitely dead. Throw him in a box and send him to His Royal Highness Prince Constance. He's always been against His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness hates him. I heard that His Royal Highness wants the Morman mermaid to make him into a puppet."
Euridice watched as the knights of Clare Bay carelessly tossed Lorenz's body into a box and carried it to Islay. They kicked away his severed left arm.
When Prince Constance saw Lorenz's body on Islay, he was very sorry: "Why is the left arm missing? It's not complete anymore."
However, before he could lament for too long, the corpse on the ground suddenly opened its eyes—
Lorenz quickly flipped up from the ground, and the knight sword in his right hand drew a cold light in the air!
Someone yelled, "It's a trap!"
But it was too late.
The Oprunsi Knights lurking on both sides of Isla Island suddenly rushed out and fought together with Prince Constance's knights—
The Knights of Oprunci pretended to be unable to defeat the Felix family and feigned defeat in Clare Bay, but secretly crossed the sea. Their target was not Count Felix, but Prince Constance!
Eurydice looked at Constance with first horror, then rage; she watched the seriously injured Lorenz fighting with Constance, and watched the two knight swords almost collide in mid-air, sparks flying.
Constance said with a malicious look, "The only one who could completely stop your heartbeat and hide it from those idiots must be Rokolan. He is the king of the mermaids, and only he can do this perfectly and hide it from everyone."
Lorenz sneered, and Constance's expression twisted: "Roklan, he is our father, but in his eyes there is only mother, not us children!"
Lorenz did not answer.
He simply swung his knight's sword hard, cutting off Constance's head with one blow!
Olidisi looked at this scene and murmured, "It seems that some things will never change..."
In the previous life, King Lucinda ultimately won.
The Gray Wolf still defeated the Caragaran family and won the Castle of Ravenmont; Lorenz also beheaded Prince Constance on the island of Islay.
These results are eerily consistent, making people shudder at the majesty of the goddess of fate.
However, although the results are the same, the processes that lead to these results are very different:
In the previous life, when the war finally broke out, Prince Constance was well prepared, and a protracted war ensued between him and Queen Lucinda.
The knights of both sides fought again and again. In the north, in the south, and on the island of Islay, countless corpses piled up on the plains and in the bay, forming one nameless grave after another.
The Knights of Oprunci, the Knights of Ravenmont, the Royal Knights, the Knights of Valdemore... countless knights and soldiers lost their lives in the war.
And citizens are not immune.
Hesong and Simon, these seemingly "insignificant" citizens died in the turmoil of war; Euridsi and Judge Adelaide, they also died in the burning of the "witch hunt".
The creatures on the ethereal continent were caught in the painful flames of war, their peaceful homes were destroyed, the lives they had built over a hundred years were ruined, and all lives were devastated.
"War is ruthless," Oridesi said softly. "When the war escalates, I... am just an insignificant life that died in it."
She said this, calmly watching the fire consume her, and also calmly watching Lorenz Ebrard, who had lost his left arm, riding the royal Pegasus, screaming in agony in the air above the Judgment Square:
"Oulidsi!"
"Oulidsi!"
"Wake up, Ol' Ridsey!"
“…”
Olidisi suddenly woke up!
She suddenly sat up from the bed, and a sharp pain came from her right shoulder blade. She couldn't help but put her hand on her right shoulder.
Euridice looked around in confusion, finding herself on a bed in a castle guest room. Before she could fully grasp her situation, Lorenz had already hurried over and supported her.
"Tisi, you're awake. How are you?"
Oulidesi was startled and suddenly grabbed Lorenz's left arm.
"Your arm..." she said. "You didn't lose your arm."
Lorenz didn't understand her question for a moment, but patted her shoulder soothingly: "I'm fine, Tisi, I killed Constance. He didn't hurt me. Don't worry."
Euridice did not relax. She grabbed Lorenz's sleeve and asked, "War—how's the war going?"
Lorenz said comfortingly, "Don't worry, we won. I killed Constance, and Duke Karagaran is dead too. When Herson tried to assassinate you, Queen Lucinda pierced his palm with an arrow. You're fine, Tisi. We're all fine."
After Lorenz said this, Euridice finally calmed down.
In the dream, the war of the previous life gradually faded away. In the next life, the memories before the coma resurfaced in his mind along with the name "Hesong".
"Yes, Hesong." Euridsi had completely calmed down. "Constance threatened him with Master Catherine and Zoe, but he chose to betray me and held me hostage on the city wall."
Lorenz nodded, "And Queen Lucinda stopped him."
As Hesong's dagger stabbed at Euridsi, King Lucinda drew her bow and shot an arrow through Hesong's arm and Euridsi's shoulder blade. The silent king solved the problem with a feather arrow.
Olidisi raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"No," she said, "Herson didn't want to kill me."
Lorenz was stunned. Olidesi smiled and said, "Hesong, he still doesn't have the courage. He only talks fierce words, but he can't kill anyone, especially me. The angle of his dagger was wrong. He was just pretending. He can't hurt me."
Lorenz was a little stunned: "Then..."
"Queen Lucinda wasn't trying to stop him," Euridsi said, her smile becoming a little strange. "Perhaps, she wanted to prove Hesong's guilt in assassinating me, while also highlighting the fact that 'she saved me.'"
Lorenz was silent for a moment, his expression becoming somewhat complicated. Olidesi didn't dwell on Hesong's topic anymore. She asked instead, "Speaking of Master Catherine and Zoe, do we have any news on them?"
Lorenz nodded and changed the subject, replying, "Gray Wolf led the Valdemore Knights to take over Ravenmont City. She has already rescued Master Catherine and Zoe from the dungeon."
Hearing the name "Gray Wolf", Oulidsi showed a look of concern: "Oh, Gray Wolf... She took over the city of Ravenmont."
"Yes. Duke Caragaran is dead, and all is well."
"You mean, the Valdemore Knights, led by Gray Wolf, peacefully took over the city of Ravenmont—and a serious war broke out between them?"
Lorenz was startled, as if confused, and subconsciously shook his head. "No, they didn't. When the Grey Wolf Knights arrived, Duke Karagaran was already dead. The Grey Wolf Knights took over Ravenmont City without any trouble—oh, it is said that Duke Karagaran was killed by the Duchess, so chaos broke out in Ravenmont City, and there was basically no one to resist the Grey Wolf."
Oledsi raised an eyebrow, looking a little interested: "Oh, Agnes Felix killed her husband?"
Lorenz nodded. "Agnes Felix, her daughters Cecilia and Bertha, and her sister, Count Felix, and her two daughters, all escaped. They claim to be descendants of the warrior women, the Vikri clan... I don't know if this is true."
"Perhaps." Euridsi recalled the battle in his previous life that had "killed" Lorenz. "They are indeed very skilled in martial arts."
Euridice said this, and her tense back finally relaxed slightly. Her fingers finally loosened Lorenz's sleeve.
"That's great," she whispered to herself. "Duke Karagaran is dead, and there hasn't been a large-scale conflict in the North. The citizens are all fine too, without such large-scale casualties."
"Well," Lorenz held her hand, "don't worry. The citizens in the city may have been a little frightened, and there were some rumors of war, but it was over quickly. There were basically no casualties among the citizens."
"Yes." Oulidesi murmured, "Opulensi City is fine. Adelaide and Joan are not dead."
There was a hint of doubt in Lorenz's eyes, but he still said, "Of course, Adelaide and Joan were not involved in the war. Everything is fine in Oprunsi City."
Olidisi raised her eyes slightly.
The Lorenz Ebrard in front of him did not lose his arm, and he himself was not burned at the stake as a "witch".
The war started seven years earlier, and the Caragaran family and Prince Constance were not as well prepared as they were in the previous life. The existence of "Witch's Grace" further divided the power of the nobles, allowing people like Caroline Charlize to exert their own strength.
Lorenz knew nothing about all this. He just held Euridsi's hand, with genuine concern in his eyes.
Olidisi suddenly smiled.
"Very good," she said. "We won at a lower cost. This is really... great."
"Indeed." Someone said slowly, "It's all over."
Oledsi paused and turned her head away:
King Lucinda was slowly approaching her.
