As the quarrel between Arthur and Orpheus became more intense, their voices became louder and louder.

Although they haven't started smashing things or taking action yet, they have obviously started to get involved. Others in the room either stayed away or remained silent, just watching them argue.

In this fierce quarrel, the first person to become uneasy was Selicia, who was not allowed to go over to break up the fight under Annan's order.

But she was not upset because the two friends were quarreling, nor was she worried that they would fight here...

After all, neither Arthur nor Ophelia are idiots. Arguing with reason can be said to express their own positions and ideas. What's more, they sincerely believe that the other party is wrong, and they will not think of their own words.

Something is wrong.

But let’s talk about it.

It would be disrespectful to have a fight in front of a god and the Duke of Winter.

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

Arthur is the cardinal of the Pardoner, and he will not do anything unreasonable in front of his own gods; and Orpheus is about to form a close cooperative relationship with Archduke Annan...or to be more clear, Orpheus

Need Annan's help.

Although they are superior, they are still rational.

However, it is impossible to take action. However, after getting the upper hand, it is still unavoidable to start to settle old scores with each other.

The reason why Selicia feels panic is...

This was the first time she realized that there was such a strong conflict between her partners.

The more she listened, the more terrified she became.

The depth of this conflict was obviously not a conflict that arose during their separation.

It's a conflict that has long existed...maybe even before they met on "Silver". It's just that they took care of their own emotions and obeyed their own management, instead of showing this conflict.

But because Selicia didn't notice it at all.

She used her charm to force these people together. As they traveled with her, 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, they thought it was just a trivial matter, so they stepped forward and pulled them apart. Arthur and Aoifei were both very rational and mature people... just like they would not fight now,

When being persuaded by Celicia, they would not show their conflicts.

This contradiction is like wine, accumulated in the bottom of my heart. The longer we travel together, the more mellow it becomes...

As a result, the conflict between them has never been truly resolved.

Instead, it was because of their strange physical relationship with Selicia that they were both lovers. The initial "hate" and "hostility" had gradually turned into "hate". There was only one step left before it would evolve into "hate".

Killing intent".

It was only now, when Annan really made them have a hearty quarrel, that Selicia could realize from their behavior that she was still a lover of both of them.

But she actually doesn't understand them at all.

It's like a mother who doesn't understand what kind of conflicts are accumulating between her two children. Instead, she blindly "stops the fight and waits for them to calm down before thinking". As a result, the conflicts between them gradually accumulate into

Hatred.

"...Is this my fault?"

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

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

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

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

The demonic confidence and charm that Celicia once possessed have been lost along with her loss of gold rank.

In other words, as the "Captain in the Stone", Celicia, who is praised as the "poppy poppy in the deep rock", has the confidence that she seems to have everything in her hands and can handle everything calmly.

It was a foreign object hatched from her past extreme inferiority complex.

It was her memory of having nothing that was so vivid and strong that made her feel such strong self-confidence, self-esteem, and pride when she "had everything". Just like a successful person who came from a grassroots background and started from scratch.

...It is precisely because she is well aware of the "pain of the bottom" that she has such a clear understanding of her current success.

Therefore, she has such dazzling confidence.

For the "Silver Troupe" 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 I had to use one word to sum up her, it would be "captain".

It is precisely because of Selicia's comprehensive suppression in terms of appearance, level, ability, etc... That kind of almost crazy casualness that is not afraid of anything and does not care about any moral values, for these wandering and confused losers

For example, it is the poppy poppy that is poisonous and addictive.

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

people outside.

That kind of relationship is actually closer to the taming of her by the Winter Defying One than "lover" or "lover".

That is the relationship between "dog and owner".

And after Selicia fell back to the Silver level, that absolute control was naturally broken.

Just like "pets" that were relatively friendly to each other at first, they will become completely different after leaving their owners.

The conflict between Arthur and Orpheus is exactly what they will never show in front of Selicia... their "true selves".

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

Arthur Burning Tooth's wish is to become the head of the family.

The head of the Zhuoya Family, who is also the master of the Lava Forbidden Tower, is a member of the "Advisory Council" and the real power behind Denisoya.

But what Orpheus wants is to revive Denisoja. Not to become the emptied-out "King Denisoja" with an empty title, but to seize all the power that has been suppressed and divided by the oligarchs and nobles.

return.

The contradiction between them is itself irreconcilable.

The realization of one person's wish must be accompanied by the shattering of another person's wish.

Rather, it is a miracle in itself that they can stay together for so long...

The miracle called "love".
