After thinking for two seconds, Alice used the same trick again. Lü'er An's legs went weak, and he dropped to his knees. But instead of getting up, he remained in that position and said in a choked voice:
"Your... your magnanimity fills me with admiration.
"You will be my, my..."
He could not continue. He burst into loud sobs on the floor, and Klein finally could not stand it anymore. He began cursing Alice in his heart.
Alice, what are you doing again?!
So as long as she controlled the intensity of Misfortune Tide, she could make a person's emotions fluctuate violently... Hmm, this could barely count as a form of mental trance, right?
Alice tilted her head and Suddenly Realized that the scene seemed to have come to an awkward standstill. Even Follet Ken was staring at Lü'er An in shock.
I'll leave the great task of salvaging this situation to you, Mr. Fool!
—Alice irresponsibly looked away.
Although Alice said nothing, Klein understood that it was impossible to expect her to clean up the mess. After pondering for a few seconds, he said with an unchanged expression:
"The previous sentence had another half: 'Severely punish them for the mistakes they commit a second time.'"
Your Excellency, Admiral, you don't need to come back anymore. Someone is more like you than you are... Alice took a small breath as she watched Klein remain calm in the face of danger, silently raising the odds that Lü'er An's emotions would stabilize somewhat.
Please, let him recover quickly... As Alice prayed, Lü'er An gradually calmed down. He still had not pulled himself out of that wave of emotion, but at least he was no longer sitting on the ground and bawling.
Thank the heavens.
Alice watched Lü'er An apologize and compose himself
