The news that Marin became His Highness reached Copenhagen much faster than the legions loyal to him, and the whole city fell into chaos - especially when it was heard that he would hang the noble officers who resisted and would be responsible for assassinating northernists.

After the shooting of Hagelberry Sr.

But His Majesty left the city gate early. After killing many nobles who wanted to flee, the soldiers on the city wall finally saw the first ray of sunshine on the top of the hill outside the city when they saw the man who belonged to the city.

His Highness's battle flag, I saw the soldiers holding the flag, and I even saw His Highness walking in front of the soldiers.

As he approached the city gate alone, more soldiers saw the marshal's cloak on his body and the scepter in his hand.

The soldiers then killed the officer who was in charge of supervising the army, and then opened the city gate under the order of the officer who was willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.

………………

Watching the city gate open and the army entering the city, Marin walked up to the officer corps kneeling by the city gate. Most of these young people's faces were full of anxiety. A few of them were bold. While looking at Marin,

Also full of hesitation.

"I don't know if your family was involved in the assassination, but you opened the city gate and avoided more meaningless sacrifices. Humanity has shed enough blood these days, and it would be best to shed less.

, so you are pardoned." At this point, Marin noticed an officer raising his hand.

"Do you have anything to say, young man?" Marin didn't mind giving these young people a chance to speak.

So he spoke: "We heard that you killed old Duke Hagelberry. Why, Your Highness Marin, that is your relative."

"But he did not stop His Majesty the King and his colleagues from doing such evil things, and naively thought that he would take over the dirty work from his heirs. As long as those young people did not dirty their hands, I will forgive his family.

... This relative of mine is very wrong. I will never forgive him from the moment he killed the northernists. Since he has chosen to serve his king and colleagues, he must learn to face the anger calmly.

the Avengers."

Having said this, Marin handed the marshal's staff to the twig of the World Tree, and then looked at the old man and his family who were dragged up by the soldiers.

"Earl King, long time no see. Where are you going with your family?" Marin looked at the old man with a smile, and at the same time noticed Link Swenson walking over with a gun.

The latter came to Marin: "Your Highness Marin, according to previous testimony, Earl Jin participated in the assassination of two of our middle-level cadres. In the past few days, many of our comrades were killed in his territory.

.”

Marin shook his head. He looked at the old man who could no longer stand and his family. The crying of several children attracted Marin's attention.

"Your Highness... when they killed our comrades, they hanged their families." Link Swenson seemed to notice the unbearable look in Marin's eyes.

Marin turned to look at the young man, and he immediately lowered his head.

"I know what you want to say." After saying that, Marin turned to look at the young people who surrendered: "If your family is guilty, you can take away your wives and children. This is my kindness to you, but you

The family must face trial."

Marin originally thought that these young people would stand up to resist, but no one stood up... Ah, wait, a young man stood up.

But he did not go to Marin, but to Earl Jin and his party. He walked to the end of the team, looked at Marin and pointed at a young woman with a big belly: "Your Highness, this is my woman."

Marin glanced at Link. The Svenson brother shook his head, but he found another witness - soon a second lieutenant ran over. He glanced at the young man: "Your Highness Marin, that is

Max Payne, that was his childhood sweetheart, and we soldiers in Sita City all know that when that woman was married to a city man by her father, the boy went crazy."

"Your child?" Marin asked.

"Mine, and this and this." The young man stretched out his hand and pointed at the two children who were being held by an old lady.

Marin nodded, then looked at Link: "Go help this young man."

They were a pair of twins. They looked to be only three or four years old. Link nodded and personally led people to snatch the two children from the old woman's hands.

When the young man left with the young woman, Marin could clearly see the silence and reluctance in the eyes of a man in the team, as well as the doubt, uneasiness and hopelessness in the woman's eyes.

I also saw the two children looking closely at their father, and the tears of joy in the young man's eyes.

It would be too unhuman to pursue the truth at this time. Thinking of this, Marin pulled out the gun from his waist and walked towards the old man.

"Earl Jin, it's a pity that we meet again here."

"Your Highness Marin, there is no warmth between us now. Please don't be so gentle. This will make the children behind me have some unrealistic delusions." The old man looked at Marin with a look on his face.

A smile full of bitterness: "But I still want to ask, is it true that we can't let those children go?"

"Didn't you let their children go before?" Marin asked.

"But from now on, we are the losers and the villains who will be written down in history, and you are the winners. Shouldn't you show your kindness to this country?" The old man looked at Marin.

Waiting for an impossible answer.

Marin smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I will not show mercy to those who hurt innocent people, let alone the cubs of those who killed the cubs. Blood for blood, tooth for tooth. This

It's a very simple and clear truth, so I can't give you the kindness you want." After saying that, Marin raised his gun and beat the old man to death, then put away the gun and backed away.

Link Swenson asked the military police to drag away the old count's family.

Some people were cursing Marin, and some were spurning reality, but Marin just listened to their last words silently. In the end, while the old count's married wife was hanged on the gallows, the soldiers distributed gold to the count's children.

poison, and help those children who don't want to drink it to drink it.

"Your Highness Marin, you must be feeling uncomfortable." Link asked beside Marin.

"Yes, when I think about the children of your comrades being hanged on the gallows, but I gave these children poison, in the end, I am still merciful." Marin sighed after saying this - I still

Be merciful. It is obvious that this is a life-and-death struggle, and that there is no room for any tenderness in this, but I still gave these children the final mercy.

But who would show mercy to those revolutionaries and their children?

Human beings are always repeating the same mistakes. It was the same ten thousand years ago and it will be the same ten thousand years later.

"Your Highness... No, please don't say that. In my eyes, you have already achieved a step that none of us can do. None of us will believe that you can't do it until you personally shoot old Hagelberry."

Give that old man a way to survive. After all, he is your kin." Link looked at Marin, his eyes full of respect, but more importantly, he was angry at his family: "It's like my family.

It was like that when a relative came to my brother and me. Before he came, I never thought that our family would give up on us because of this."

"I killed old Hagelberg because I understood that he chose to fulfill himself. He could not betray his king, let alone his oath...so he chose death because he knew that I would definitely shoot.

"In Marin's eyes, old Hagelberry is more ruthless than Marin thought. He always said before that he would clear a path for Lulu's children to inherit the Hagelberry family.

The road, now it seems that the road has been opened, Lulu's children will no longer have opponents, because after today, the Hagelberry family will only have Lulu and her unborn child.

"But Your Highness Marin, it is precisely because of your action that the soldiers trust us so much, because they feel that we are true to our word, and all so-called sins will be judged." Link said proudly.

Looking at the soldiers passing by the gallows in a steady stream, they were lined up in battle formation - among the nobles in the city, there would also be those who were stubborn and resisting, but they would eventually have no way to escape.

"Let's go and see our Majesty." After Marin finished speaking, he reached out to retrieve the marshal's staff.

As he took a step forward, Marin saw in the small square aside, the former staff officers were being dragged to the wall by the soldiers. They were all injured, but the resistance was not over after all. The political commissar in charge of the shooting saw

Marin immediately ran over: "Your Highness, we defeated these nobles who wanted to resist, and we killed the crown prince who was the leader." "There is no crown prince there, he is just a sinner!"

Link's scolding made the political commissar a little overwhelmed. Marin stretched out his hand to straighten the political commissar's collar: "It's okay, he is a sinner, but he is still a crown prince who has the courage to face despair. You are right,

Where is his body?"

Under the guidance of the political commissar, Marin saw the crown prince in the morgue on the roadside. Although he had good marksmanship and swordsmanship, the bullets still penetrated him in the close-range firefight.

chest.

Times have changed. Marin used his spiritual power to close the young man's eyes. Not far away, unyielding shouts and gunshots intertwined.

"Keep these guys' mouths shut next time you shoot." Link said to the political commissar.

After the political commissar left, Marin looked at Link: "Actually, we should let them shout out."

"Why, Your Highness, do you still think they are right in thinking that they are righteous?" Link looked at Marin in surprise. If it weren't for Marin being a His Highness, I'm afraid this young man would have long ago

He yelled.

"No, I just think that you should look at their last appearance, and then think about it carefully. If we do something wrong in the future and let down those who trust us, will someone stand up and take you down?

Drag it to a wall, after all, history is a mistake that keeps repeating itself." At this point, Marin reached out and patted Link on the shoulder, then strode towards the palace.

As he walked, Marin suddenly thought of the smile on old Hagelberry's face. He thought of the relationship between the old man and his Majesty the King, then thought of the child, and then thought of the few people who died before the King.

A child, and then I thought of the crown prince.

Your Majesty, what are you crazy about? If you really hate the nobles so much, why do you want me to do it... You are a lazy fool with no hands. You want to do anything with your hands. Do you just want to do anything with your hands?

I don’t know if this means that your child and my apprentice will not be able to stay out of the matter. Don’t you feel sorry for your child?

You crazy person.

The thoughtful Link caught up and looked at Marin: "Your Highness, do you think that maybe we people will become like nobles?"

"...Yeah, maybe your generation won't, but people's hearts will change. Your descendants, their descendants, in history, there are too many examples of heroes turning into dragons. Every time I look at it in history

Whenever I see this kind of situation in the book, I will sigh that human beings always repeat the same mistakes."

When Marin said this, he looked at the men, women, and children lying on the roadside not far away, as well as the old and new customers on the street lamps, and even saw the pitiful appearance of some new customers who were still struggling.

Marin, Marin, what are you pitying? When you pity them, do they pity those who are more pitiful?

No, so this is a natural cycle, and retribution is always unpleasant.

"If one day we repeat the mistakes of our predecessors, let those who come after us change everything." Link ran to Marin, looked sideways at Marin and said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid that one day your descendants will be dragged out of the house by angry soldiers like these nobles?" Marin asked as he looked at the nobles dragged out of the big house.

"I'm afraid, so my brother and I will try our best to prevent this from happening while we are alive, but as your Highness said, human history is a never-ending dance, war, and revolution.

Peace runs through the history of mankind. Heroes will be corrupted and evil dragons will be reborn. But I believe that there will still be young people with the same ideals as us and people who want to mend the cracks in the sky to rebuild what we are doing today.

Do it again." At this point, Link's face was full of determination: "When the time comes, there will definitely be people like you, Your Highness, standing in front of them."

After Link finished speaking, he looked filled with pride and pride.

Marin sighed.

Because he heard the motto of a true Northernist and witnessed a fearless young man.
