So it's better to tell them now, but we can't reveal the Demon King's history, which is like an unofficial historical account, in front of so many people.

How is Theresia supposed to face people now? Even her own Banshee sisters don't know the truth.

At most, all I know is that the Speaker and Theresia have a relationship that goes far beyond that of normal friends.

The Banshee carried the weak and powerless Teresis out of the cell like a chick, with several guards protecting the Banshee along the way.

When they arrived at a quiet place, Lamian called again.

This incident became a shadow that Teresis could never forget for the rest of her life.

Lamian combined her plans with the development of Kazdel and revealed that the so-called the Speaker was actually Huang Cao.

It also revealed exactly how Theresia attracted investment for the country.

The shock was so great that Teresis had to wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.

With a thud, Teresis collapsed to the ground and fainted.

This was a devastating blow; even unofficial histories wouldn't dare to record it like this.

The cabbage I "carefully nurtured" was stolen by someone else, and in such a undignified way.

After some time, perhaps because Lamian felt so sorry for Teresis, she had the Banshee beside her forcefully wake him up with her song.

Suddenly realizing what had happened, Teresis practically gritted her teeth, "You bunch of vixens! And Theresia trusted you so much before!"

Lamian was scolded, felt no shame and instead began to criticize the other person.

"Do you really think you've been a good older brother? Do I need to give you a thorough review of how you actually acted as a general?"

Lamian laughed on the other end of the phone, and then she recounted all the grievances Theresia had suffered over the years.

"I don't deny that we hurt and deceived her, but as her older brother, did you really help her even a little bit?"

"Even when the other Royal Court were not betraying Theresia, who was in charge of maintaining the daily administration of the country?"

Teresis immediately retorted, "Of course she's my sister, but you betrayed her."

"And what do you usually do now that you haven't betrayed Theresia?"

"Do you think the air in the barracks smells wonderful, or that the weapons you use are especially powerful? Or do you think the food in the army tastes particularly good?"

"But have you ever really cared about anything else? Where were you when Theresia was starving and fainting from hunger while trying to finish her embroidery work?"

"Not only you, but also Dukare and the others. As the rulers of this country, you do not bear any administrative responsibility for the country. Do you really think that a country can only function by the military?"

"So Sarkaz's food, clothing, and shelter all depend on Your Highness alone. What can she do?"

"If you really weren't going to help, that would be one thing, but you've been causing His Highness a lot of trouble. Tell me, eighty years ago, when the country was in dire need of rebuilding, did you and Dukare really take the policies His Highness introduced seriously?"

Previously, perhaps out of consideration for the superficial working relationship, Lamian really didn't want to directly start a tirade like a shrew.

But now he really can't stand it anymore.

Eighty years ago, what is now Utopia wasn't even called that, and Dukare and the other Royal Court were unaware of the relationship between the Banshee and the Huang Cao.

Everything was in its most primitive state, but this period was also the most difficult time for Theresia.

Without any help from Master Huang, she had to do everything herself, even embroidering from dawn till dusk every day for a little bit of foreign exchange.

But Your Highness is so tired, should Teresis take a break from the army to take care of her younger sister?

Even Dukare and His Highness's teacher showed no concern for him whatsoever.

If it weren't for His Highness's excellent embroidery skills, which earned him a little bit of valuable foreign exchange, countless people in Kazdel would have starved to death decades ago.

"So in my opinion, as the older brother, you haven't helped your younger sister much in life or even at work."

"As for military campaigns, in which defensive war has His Highness not personally charged into battle? In which command has His Highness not discussed matters with you?"

"You guys were really too much in the past! Dukare and the others have all reformed, but you still don't realize your mistakes."

"Besides, the changes in Dukare and the others were also brought about by Asao."

"It was Ah Cao who got them involved in the country's administrative planning and did their best to share the pressure on Theresia, so that Your Highness could take this opportunity to get away from the heavy workload and have a small part of your own life."

"But even this is still not enough to feed the people in the country."

Lamian tore away the last shred of fig leaves from this group.

If it weren't for her husband's hard work, Dukare would still be a nobody, and wouldn't be able to work as diligently as he does now.

"If we follow Teresis's logic, those who cause damage to the country are traitors, then Kazdel's current prosperity is entirely the result of my and others' joint efforts."

"Compared to us traitors, what have you, this so-called loyalist, done? Apart from being able to stand on the moral high ground and criticize us, you don't even have the right to speak in practice."

After saying so much in one breath, Lamian finally let out the anger that had been building up inside her.

"Think carefully about who is really dragging Theresia down."

Teresis was so humiliated that she could barely lift her head.

Because what the other person said was true, I really hadn't been able to help much, and I didn't even know what my own sister was going to do.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true.

If Teresis had paid more attention to her sister in her daily life, she probably would have noticed her unusual behavior much sooner.

Decades later, the anomaly was discovered, but no further attention or understanding was given to it.

Therefore, he was truly a very unqualified older brother.

"But I still don't understand. If that guy surnamed Huang really has Theresia as you say, then why is he attacking Kazdel now?"

Lamian pondered for a moment, "Because it's a matter of principle, and also about changing the inevitable future."

According to Asao's calculations, the civil war between the siblings and the war in Kazdel in the future are almost inevitable.

However, decades ago, due to Warfarin's bad idea, His Highness entered Ah Cao's large family in a particularly strange way.

This is why a civil war has not broken out, because Master Huang ended two schools of thought that could have led to the Kazdel civil war ahead of time.

In the future, there will naturally be no possibility of public opinion inciting the siblings to start a civil war.

Chapter 274 The Lynx Triumphs Over the Tender Grass.

There are some things I just have to say.

As for Teresis's question, Lamian couldn't find a better way either.

Theresia's ideals have strayed from reality. While there is nothing wrong with pursuing equality in a strict sense, the process of pursuing her ideals is too idealistic.

This land is not worthy of such lofty ideals.

Even if Master Huang conquers all the countries except Kazdel, Theresia's ideal will still be impossible to achieve.

Because if Kazdel joins, he will inevitably have to follow the crowd and accept utopian ideas.

If you don't join, you'll be all alone in the world.

If we still don't join, wouldn't we be going against the whole world?

This is a puzzle that is almost impossible to solve.

If Master Huang really allows Kazdel to join under special conditions.

Theresia could easily and unknowingly exploit Master Huang's love to achieve certain goals, becoming a vampire clinging to Utopia.

This will not improve the Sarkaz's situation; it will only make this race a unique entity within Utopia.

Because Theresia's ideology, under the most ideal circumstances, does not allow aggression, or even anything related to aggression.

Therefore, in the most extreme case, Theresia and her followers, who believe in this theory, will certainly disagree with the general public on some issues that require public voting, and may even refuse to participate in any productive labor.

Of course, this is the ideal scenario; in most cases, it shouldn't be this extreme.

However, if Theresia were to lead the entire nation to Utopia based on someone's love, the latter might not be entirely sure of her own heart.

Given his personality towards his wife, Master Huang could only spoil her.

Then other residents will think: You Sarkaz just stay in the rear talking about ideals, so what are we fighting so hard on the battlefield for?

Everyone enjoys the same social welfare, so why should you be exempt from contributing?

Do something, at least.

Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because of the lord's love?

Even the Durin, who dislike fighting within Utopia, participate in the construction of High-speed Battleship, contributing their own strength to Master Huang's conquest.

However, this is not Theresia's ideal situation, as it would inevitably cause disharmony within the organization.

At that time, the Sarkaz will definitely face discrimination from other races within Utopia.

This has nothing to do with whether Xiao Te's ideals are right or wrong; it's simply human nature.

That's why Lamian thought of using this method to get her best friend to join directly.

Idealists don't easily change their minds unless they encounter setbacks.

This setback was what Master Huang brought.

Teresis listened to the other party's explanation and fell into an unusual silence.

He did love his sister out of familial affection, but rationally he didn't care much about her dreams and could only support her silently from behind.

Well, actually, Teresis doesn't quite agree with her sister's ideas to some extent, but she supports them only because they are her sister.

If they had truly supported it, they wouldn't have completely parted ways in the original storyline, and the other Sarkaz wouldn't have chosen Teresis.

After all, it's only because Teacher T has done similar things that he can be considered a representative in this regard.

"By the way, there's another part of our plan that you'd really like to see."

"What is that?"

"Under Asahi's command, Kal'tsit will be burned to ashes."

Can I go see it?

Since things have come to this point, and my brother and I are completely at their mercy, we might as well look at something more cheerful.

Life is like being... well, you can't resist it, so just enjoy it.

Anyway, Trunks just doesn't like Kal'tsit, and even though she's locked up, he still has to kick her while she's down.

"If you'd like to see, I can try to bring you to the side."

Cooperation is certainly a good thing; as expected, Kal'tsit is a person who attracts hatred.

If Master Huang were to directly take over Kazdel, Teresis might strongly object, but if you're talking about loving cats intensely, that's a different story.

One should still take care of one's husband's future brother-in-law.

Let's return to the perspective of Master Huang.

With the emotions already built up, the incinerator in the center of the main city was already set up under the control of the Shapeshifter, and all that was left was for the protagonist to make his appearance.

Especially these days, the role of Kal'tsit, who attracts hatred, has finally been played by a real person.

The Shapeshifter Collective wholeheartedly agree with this.

Because she and her fellow countrymen no longer had to walk down the street with Kal'tsit's cat-like face on their backs, only to be suddenly attacked with Feathered Beast eggs.

As expected, the Sarkaz's life has improved; they're even dropping Feathered Beast eggs now.

It should be noted that, due to the True Dragon following the original storyline of the game, the Yan Country is now gradually becoming corrupt, and if nothing unexpected happens, the events of the original storyline will soon occur.

Huang Cao also made a few backup plans in response.

But now he has even more troublesome things to deal with, such as what he promised Kal'tsit...

"Master Huang, today is the last battle of this body. May I take the lead?"

Kal'tsit licked her lips, looking at the even younger-looking Master Huang, making no attempt to hide the greed in her eyes.

"You can push me now."

Kal'tsit gave a gentle push, only to find that the man in front of her was no longer as domineering as before.

She's delicate, soft, and easily pushed over—she's practically the ideal woman in my dreams.

Huang Cao wanted to satisfy Kal'tsit's competitive spirit before her death, which meant letting the cat launch a fierce counterattack.
