The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Claire, who thought Meluetta was feeling uneasy, comforted her.

It's just that she didn't expect Melueita to shake her head,

"Although it may be a bit imprudent to say such things now. But sister, more than fearing me now, she is actually looking forward to it."

Melita said with a smile,

"I'm looking forward to what kind of life the three of us will live after leaving this mansion. Is it living in seclusion in a remote mountain? Is it becoming an adventurer? Or..."

As Melueta spoke, she didn't know what she was fantasizing about, she suddenly twitched a bit, and then suddenly waved her hands as if canceling the fantasy scene,

"Ahem, in short, in short! After my grandpa and grandma passed away, I have been living alone for many years. Therefore, when I think that there will be two more family members soon, I feel that no matter how difficult the future will be, I can also Stick to it."

As Melueta said, she put her hands in front of her chest and clenched her fists vigorously.

"future..."

Listening to this word that seemed so far away from her, Claire fell into a moment of silence before speaking with a desolate expression,

"I have no future. The organization has a different attitude towards well-wishers and betrayers. There are many people in this world who are blessed by the gods like you. However, the organization's betrayers... there are not many people .My existence will only bring you endless disasters, and... I am a sinner, and I cannot ask for help from the kingdom or the church like you. Otherwise, the lightest punishment is a lifelong prison. We cannot be together ..."

Claire's words made Melueta's emotions suddenly agitated.However, before she could say anything, Claire's next words made her even more disbelieving.

"Also, he won't run away with us, but will stay in this mansion forever."

"why!"

Melueita was at a loss for a while, and she didn't quite know why she was asking, what exactly she was asking.

Naturally, Claire would not answer his own related matters, but talked about Riber.

"If you think about it for a while, you can understand what his proposal means. Just burning this mansion will not buy us time. Because it is just a mansion, no matter it is for the Earl, For the organization, it is not a wealth that cannot be given up. It is far less important than you. Therefore, unless the mansion is burning, there is no wealth in the mansion, no matter for the Campret family or the Church of Scourge. The loss is in it...otherwise..."

Listening to Claire's words, Melueta gradually opened her eyes wide,

"Moreover, it is very possible that he wants to be buried directly in the fire. Didn't you also see that day? The scar on his neck. You asked me before how to cause such a wound, and now I can tell you. ..”

Claire made a simple gesture and made a hanging posture.

"How, how... How could Mr. Riber..."

Before the words of objection were finished, Melueta suddenly realized something.

She remembered.

When she saw Riber for the first time, the other party's mental landscape was like a black swamp, full of pain, struggle, depression and despair.

However, when he saw Riber again, he seemed to be a different person, or to say he had been reborn, and the landscape in his mind had completely changed.

Although in a mess, full of confusion.

But it is also clear and bright that could not be compared with it before.

It was also from that day that Riber began to assist her in escaping from the mansion.

Melueita had never understood why there was such a huge change in Riber's body.

But now she understands.

Riber did try to kill himself once, but failed.

Doesn't the person who died once get a new life?

"People like us are not easily killed in that way. However, he still chose the most painful way to end. I think, in addition to wanting to punish himself, he should also be choosing Let the power be handed over to the gods. If he can survive, then he will do what he wants to do at the end regardless of the cost. For example, now, let you escape... and I wanted to give up my life, now If you sacrifice him again, you shouldn’t care anymore.”

Claire said, sighed, her tone was a bit embarrassing,

"Remembering the day when he kidnapped you, he also told me that he hated you. I also thought that he would never walk the same path as me. But I didn't expect that we are actually the same. Probably, People in the dark, the pursuit of light is a kind of nature. It is normal to be disgusted by such a dazzling light suddenly. But in the end, no matter whether it is burned by the light or exposed to light Regardless of his own ugliness, he will still pursue light..."

Claire looked at her sister in front of her.She looked a little ordinary, but she was the ideal posture in my heart.Can't help but hang his head a little ashamed.

And Melita, who had been silent for a long time, frowned at this moment and spoke in a reproachful tone,

"Since then, what kind of strange things have my sister been saying? What kind of bright and dark things... The reason why Mr. Riber is in such pain, and even wanted to kill himself at one point, is obviously because of my sister?"

"...Eh?"

Volume 27: Chapter [-], The Strange Shura Field

"Didn't my sister say that Mr. Riber immediately guessed the sister relationship between you and me? And that happened after that. How to look at it, the cause of Mr. Riber's complete despair is all It's because Mr. Riber feels that he has done something that I'm sorry for you!"

In the previous conversation, Melueta asked Claire why she attacked Riber without saying a word.And Claire, who has always been very weak to her sister, can only explain in a soft voice.

Therefore, most of the incidents, Melueita is very clear.

So, after sorting out the timeline, she came to this conclusion.

"How could it be? How could he be overwhelmed by this matter?"

"I just want to ask why! Obviously, compared to me, who was just a stranger at the time, no matter how you think about it, Mr. Riber cares more about his sister's affairs. Moreover, there is a limit to people's ability to bear. Originally, Riber The husband has been in a state of near despair. Then, he learned that I was the only relative of my sister who was kidnapped, and then my sister would not hesitate to betray the organization to rescue me. It has always been mixed in the organization, family and the closest Between my sisters and sisters, no matter what choice I make, it is a wrong choice, and anyone else would collapse!"

"This..."

Claire still didn't want to admit it, but some soft parts in her heart were touched by Melueta's words.

Riber is indeed a person who has been in negative emotions.

He seemed to hate everything, especially his own family, which made him live in an organization like the Church of Scourge since his birth.

The reason Riber asked Claire to call him Shane was because Shane's middle name was taken from his mother's name.

However, he didn't really admire his mother very much.

The only reason why he has a better impression of his mother is simply that she passed away very early, so he has never seen her ugly side.

As for Riber, whose mind has been distorted to the extreme, if there is someone close to him, it is probably Claire who grew up with him and has always faced the same pain and struggle.

It's just that Riber is usually like a stone sculpture without human emotions, so it's really hard for Claire to notice.

"No, no, no! It's not logical. If I'm really that important in his heart... Then why didn't he ask me for help when he couldn't bear it?"

"Mr. Riber, have you really never asked your sister for help?"

Meluetta's simple question seemed to penetrate her heart.

Looking back now, in the conversation after the kidnapping of Melueita, Ribel's behavior was actually very abnormal.

If Riber is really suspicious, there is no need to speak out, just observe silently or report directly to the organization.And the warning is even more meaningless.That would make her actions more stealthy and her resolve stronger.From Riber's point of view, it is completely counterproductive.

However, she, who was already in a mess at the time, didn't notice these things at all.

Then, another question popped up in her mind.

If at that time, she had confessed to Ribel the identity of Melueita and confessed her plan, what would Ribel have done.Is it now that they have escaped from the mansion?Don't have to worry about Lake Light's impending time limit.

Assuming that Riber had seen everything at that time, he was actually waiting for Claire's confession.

In Liber's heart, the balance has tilted to Claire's side.As long as she gives some trust and asks for a reliance, Riber may be able to muster up the courage to cut off or even oppose the Church of Scourge that she has always hated deeply.

But...she didn't choose to believe in Riber after all.Instead, he regards him as an enemy that needs to be guarded against, as the greatest threat.

So, Riber, who couldn't even get the last trace of redemption, was completely overwhelmed by pain and entanglement, and chose to remain "neutral" in that way?

And what is even more embarrassing is that after failing to maintain "neutrality", Riber, who became clear in his heart, finally chose to stand on her side.

"how come..."

Suddenly, as if losing the ability to think, Claire grabbed her dangling front hair forcefully.

The images that flashed back in her mind were almost entirely occupied by Riber's figure.

Only then did she realize that most of her life was spent with Riber.It's just that this matter is too natural and she has long been used to it, so she didn't take it to heart.

And just when Claire's spiritual defense line was about to be completely broken, her eyes froze, and she made a voice again,

"No, it's still wrong. Just as he knows me very well, I also know him very well. He will not contain that kind of strong emotion towards me. For more than ten years, he has always treated me with the same indifference. But ...he treats you completely differently, Meluita."

Seeing Claire, who was about to be defeated, suddenly revived, not to mention a counterattack against himself.After being stunned for a moment, Melueita couldn't help but began to recall the details of her time with Riber these days.

Claire has said more than once that Riber is born to be serious, cold, and unsmiling.

However, Meluetta never felt that Riber was such a person.

Mr. Riber, it is true that he does not speak a lot, and he also shows various expressions.

But the atmosphere around him has never been cold.

Could it be that she is the only one who has received special treatment from Mr. Riber?

Only in front of her, Mr. Riber will keep asking about the outside world, showing his yearning for the vast world?

Only in front of her, even in a cage, will Mr. Riber always look very comfortable and relaxed?

Doesn't that mean...

"Meluetta, maybe you can take a closer look at yourself. Your innocence and kindness can infect the people around you. Even the willful goddess of the Holy Fire Church will have special favor for you. You haven't thought about it , Riber, who has been stagnant for more than ten years, why did he take the initiative to take action these days? That is because people who have never seen the light will not believe in the light. Until, The day he really saw the light..."

Hearing that Claire started to come and go again, Melueta felt that her cheap sister seemed...something wrong.

However, in the past, she was not so disgusted by the bright remarks that always made her uncomfortable.

She suddenly remembered one of her favorite fairy tales when she was a child.

"The Prince in the Birdcage".

The general idea of ​​the fairy tale is that there is a prince who has been locked in a birdcage because of a broken heart.But the emperor ordered that anyone who can get the prince out of the cage can become the prince concubine.

Then, all the noble girls all over the country tried, but all failed.

Until an ordinary but extremely kind-hearted village girl made the prince regain his yearning for the outside world, and finally he was happy to celebrate the beautiful story of two places and two dwellings.

Although Melueita doesn't want others to call her a village girl, she occasionally calls herself a village girl, and a large part of it is influenced by this fairy tale.

But now, even though it is not the prince who is locked in the birdcage, and the earl is not in the birdcage voluntarily.

However, his yearning for the vast world should not change, or become stronger.

Then, would he have been looking forward to the person who would take him out of the cage?

Meluetta thought about it, until her face started to turn red, she came back to her senses, and patted her cheeks vigorously with both hands.

"No, no, what my sister said is so strange! I still think that Mr. Riber is for my sister..."

...

In this way, the two sisters quarreled for the first time in many years, and they quarreled for a long time.

It is also interesting to say that due to the blurred memories of childhood, Melueita has never had much sense of identity with Claire.But when the two quarreled until their faces turned red, Melueita unexpectedly felt like, "This person is really my sister."

It's just that the reason for the two people's quarrel is somewhat strange.

Fortunately, Riber was not there.

Otherwise, listening to the quarrel between the two, he would probably be so embarrassed that someone would stab him.

...

...

Time goes back to the escape plan of the saint, not long before it was about to start.

Ribel looked strange, looking at Melueita who suddenly fell ill.

"If...if I escape, then, who else can come to rescue Mr. Riber!"

Melueita looked at Ribel and said with firm eyes.

Riber felt that as long as the heroine was not in his own underground, that would be the greatest redemption for him.

Feeling a sudden sharp pain in his head, Riber gently massaged his temples, and helplessly asked Melueita what was going on.

Then, Meluetta told Claire's speculation.

Of course, she must be embarrassed to say that after the sisters quarreled.

Looking back now, she also felt that it was too strange for the two of them to quarrel.

Among other things, in a normal quarrel like this, shouldn't both parties shout "for me", "for me"?

However, at the end of the argument, the two sisters kept repeating "for you", "for you"...

Mr. Riber, without his knowledge, was inexplicably pushed (disgusted) by each other.

"I..."

After hearing Melueita's words, Riber was shocked.
