Chapter 168 The Third Miracle

As the quarrel between Arthur and Officy intensifies, their voices grow louder.

Although they haven't started smashing things or doing anything, they have obviously started to get on top. The other people in the room also either stepped away or remained silent, watching them quarrel like this.

And in this fierce quarrel environment, the first to become uneasy was Selicia, who was not allowed to try to persuade the fight under Annan's order.

But she wasn't upset that two friends were arguing, much less worried that they might fight here...

After all, whether it is Arthur or Officy, they are obviously not stupid. Arguing with reason can also be said to be a way of expressing one's own position and ideas-not to mention that they think that the other party is wrong from the bottom of their hearts, so they will not think that there is anything wrong with their own words.

But let's talk about it.

It's not decent enough to fight in front of a god and Lord Winter—

After all, they are not ordinary people with no scruples.

Arthur is the cardinal of the Absolution Master, and he will not do any unreasonable things in front of his own gods; and Officia is about to form a close cooperative relationship with Grand Duke Annan...or to put it more clearly, Officia Annan's help is needed.

Although they are on the top, they are still rational.

But it's impossible to do it - but after the top, it's still unavoidable to start turning over old scores with each other.

The reason Celesia felt terrified was...

It was the first time she realized that there were such strong contradictions among her partners.

The more she listened, the more frightened she became.

The thickness of this contradiction is obviously not a contradiction that arose during their parting period.

It's a contradiction that has existed for a long time... maybe even before they met on "Silver". It's just that they take care of their own emotions and obey their own management, but they don't show this contradiction.

But because Selicia didn't notice it at all.

With her own charm, she forcibly brought these people together. During the time they traveled with themselves, the conflicts between them not only did not ease, but instead accumulated and deepened.

But Selicia did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Every time they quarreled, I thought it was just a trivial matter, so I stepped forward and pulled them away. Both Arthur and Officia are very rational and mature people... Just as they won't fight now, they won't show their contradictions when Celesia persuades them to fight.

This contradiction is like wine, which is backlogged in the bottom of my heart. It also mellows as time travels together...

——As a result, the conflict between them was never really resolved.

On the contrary, it is because of their strange physical relationship with Celesia that they are "all lovers", and the initial "hate" and "hostility" have gradually turned into "hate". Only one step away, it will evolve into "killing intent".

Until now, when Annan really made them quarrel, Selicia could realize from their performance that although she and both of them were lovers.

But she didn't really know them at all.

Just like a mother who doesn't understand what kind of conflicts have accumulated between her two children. Instead, they simply "stop fighting and wait for them to calm down before thinking about it." As a result, the conflicts between them gradually accumulated into hatred.

"...Is this my fault?"

Selicia murmured in a low voice: "I was too arrogant before, which made the relationship between them become like this..."

Annan, who was in front of him, turned his head slightly and glanced at the trembling Celesia.

He sighed and said softly, "Yes, and no."

Selicia didn't realize the crux of the problem at all.

The once demonic confidence and charm of Selicia has been lost along with her loss of the golden rank.

In other words, as the "Captain of the Stone" and boasted as the "Poppy Poppy in the Deep Rock", Selicia's self-confidence that seems to have everything in hand and can deal with everything calmly is exactly the same. It was a foreign object hatched from her extreme inferiority complex in the past.

It was the vivid and strong memory of her having nothing back then that caused her such strong feelings of self-confidence, self-esteem, and pride when she "had everything". Just like a self-made successful person from grassroots... It is precisely because she knows the "suffering at the bottom" that she has such a clear understanding of her current success.

Therefore, she has such dazzling self-confidence.

For the "Silver Brigade" who are all losers, that kind of self-confidence is the "starlight" that leads them to become human again, or the "torch" that guides the future direction.

If she had to be summed up in one word, it would be -【Captain】.

It is precisely because of Selicia's comprehensive suppression in terms of appearance, grade, ability, etc... that kind of crazy casualness that is not afraid of anything and does not care about any moral values, for these wandering and confused losers For me, it is the poisonous and addictive poppies.

All the crew members on the "Silver", including Lucia, are lovers and have had relationships with Celesia. But other than that, Selicia doesn't think much of anyone other than "her crew."

——That kind of relationship is actually closer to the taming of her by the winter defiant than "lovers" or "lover".

That is, the relationship between "dog and master".

And after Celesia fell back to the silver rank, that absolute control naturally disappeared without warning.

It's like the "pets" who were originally friendly, but after leaving the owner's side, they will turn into another face.

The contradiction between Arthur and Officia is precisely what they will never show in front of Celesia...the "true self".

In the final analysis, it is precisely because of their positions that they cannot coexist.

Arthur Scorchtooth's wish is to be the head of the house.

The Patriarch of the Burning Tooth Clan is also the Tower Master of the Forbidden Lava Tower—a member of the "Advisory Council" and the real power behind Denisauer.

But what Ophelia thinks is to revive Denisauer. Instead of becoming the "King Denisaua" who has been emptied and has an empty title, he will take back all the power that was restrained and divided by the oligarchs and nobles.

——The contradiction between them is itself irreconcilable.

The realization of one person's wish is bound to be accompanied by the shattering of another person's wish.

Rather, it was a miracle in itself that they could stay together for so long.

The miracle called "Love".

- The third miracle.
