"Is this worth it for Justinian? Miss Alexia?" Looking at the girl who was unable to get into the air, Zoe shook her head helplessly. She tried her best to persuade Alexia to give up. Leos Gross had already given the conditions. As long as Alexia was willing to surrender, the previous matter would be written off. The Papadoros family's status in Molia will be the same as before.

But Alexia didn't even look back, sitting by the bed, looking through the iron windows of the prison walls, watching the snowflakes fluttering in the night, and said lightly: "There is nothing worth it or not. From the moment that man killed my mother, I was irreconcilable with him. Rather than saying that I am loyal to Lord Justinian... it is better to say that I am loyal to my own heart."

"Since you have said that, I respect your decision. What this is the consequence of this means, you should know." Seeing that Arixia could not convince Arixia, Madam Zoe said calmly. In fact, she was not surprised by the girl's reaction. After all, the seemingly weak noble girl in front of her was grown up by herself, and Zoe could not understand her nature. Under this appearance, there was actually an extremely proud heart, which made her choose to surrender.

After hearing this, Arixia's face still had no change. Although this woman was the person she trusted the most, she betrayed her at the last moment. However, now she has no resentment in her heart, and she is more about calmly accepting her own destiny.

Zoe closed the heavy prison gate and finally left. Once again, only Alexia was the only one in the empty cell. Except for the crackling sounds made in the charcoal fire, everything was quiet. Alexia, who did not say a word, finally stood up slowly, looked up through the window and looked at the deep night sky, and remembered the heroic figure in his heart. The girl showed an extremely pious expression and murmured towards the sky.

I prayed: "O my merciful God! Please give me courage and justice to Lord Justinian, and bless him with the blessing of the holy sword. Even if all nations are enemies, they should be killed. The birds will fill their flesh, and after their death they will be thrown into the lake of fire with brimstone. Wherever he goes, sinful betrayal will be like darkness being dispelled by the dawn, and all decay will be destroyed in his righteousness, and will no longer be able to touch this pure land, Amen."

...

On the other side, Mrs. Zoe, who had left the prison, saw Duke Leosgros who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Looking at the expression on the face of the mother Zoe, Duke Leo knew the result without asking, and sneered, "Hmph, you're wasting your kung fu here again, Zoe. I've given that child a chance, but she was destined to be as stupid as her mother, and blindly trust others, and eventually ruin her life. The difference is that her mother believed me, and she chose to believe Justinian. However, until now, she still holds unrealistic expectations. You are still trying to plead for her." While speaking, Leosgros's words were full of mockery. If it weren't for Zoe's previous plea, Alexia would not have lived now. However, the girl's inactive attitude was gradually eroding Leosgros' patience.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zoe immediately heard that her master had become more impatient with Alexia's discooperation, but she still held the last glimmer of hope and begged: "Please give me some more time. Alexia is just a child. There will always be some innocence that young people will have, but in the end she will understand that in the world of real adults, she will always care about weighing the pros and cons, and that it will definitely be used for you. After all, controlling her will be more useful in comforting the Papadoros family."

Using this half-true and half-false sentence, Zoe finally persuaded Duke Leosgros for the time being.

"You can do whatever you want, but there is a prerequisite for you to understand, Zoe, my patience is absolutely limited, even you." Zoe made great contributions this time as the secret chess he set up. It was precisely because of this that Leosgros decided to give her another chance, but this time he gave a complete ultimatum.

Knowing that this was the biggest concession that Leos Gross had made, she had to accept it. The woman chose to nodded. No matter how much Alexia hated herself, Zoe, who had watched the child grow up, could not be indifferent.

Looking at the woman's face, Leosgros smiled contemptuously, "Please take care of yourself, Zoe, don't let me be disappointed with you." After that, the man turned around and was about to leave here. Alexia was not on his turn to make him think too much.

But behind him, Mrs. Zoe, who wanted to speak but stopped, called him again.

"Duke..."

"So what's wrong?" Leos Gross, who was about to leave, stopped and turned to look at the woman in front of him with a cold face. Leos Gross asked with some displeasure. He had wasted a lot of time here today.

After watching Leosgross think about it, Zoe finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Duke Duke, about you sending my brother to the south. I just hope to know whether he is safe now. Can you tell me?" It can be said that Zoe's only relative in this world is her brother, who depend on each other and serves allegiance to the Sgross family, and can only obey orders like a puppet. Ten years ago, she was inserted into the Papadoros family by Leosgross, and rarely saw her brother who was the manager of the Sgross family. After spending a lot of youth, she finally got rid of her false identity and came back, she learned that her brother, who was over 60 years old, actually went to the south to carry out a dangerous task of restraining Justinian. She had to feel extremely worried about this.
