Nicole raised her head in confusion and sniffed her red nose: "Fooled? What do you mean?"

Roman smiled helplessly and said: "If you think about it carefully, did Kino explicitly say that he wanted you to leave the executive mansion? Or asked you to get out?"

Nicole's mouth opened and closed, but she hesitated to speak. It was true that Chino had always been insinuating and did not explicitly let her go.

Nicole pursed her lips and muttered: "But he took back the surname he gave me and said he would give me freedom. Doesn't this mean to drive me away?"

"What's a surname? It's just a suffix of the name! The current queen's surname is Dogulland, but isn't she still the biological sister of Lord Sting, the king's left hand? Isn't she still a member of the Regnom family?" Roman held Ni tightly.

He touched Kou's shoulder and said meaningfully, "The administrator of Kino said he would give you freedom. Freedom! What does freedom mean?"

"Freedom is doing what you want to do! If you choose to stay, that's your freedom. If you choose to leave, that's your freedom too! The person who lets you leave is not him at all, but yourself!"

After hearing this, Nicole was stunned, her pupils kept trembling, and she was quickly filled with loneliness: "But, he said that he didn't choose me because of my potential, and he never had expectations for me. I only have expectations for him.

Words have no meaning”

Roman: "Nicole, some of your words may sound ruthless, but if you think about it from another person's perspective, you can actually understand that the way superiors think is different from ours. They have to consider the overall situation more, and their ideas often start from the overall perspective.

So it's difficult to take care of individuals."

"The fundamental reason why you were affected by Kino's words and ran away from the executive mansion is that you felt guilty and felt that you had confirmed what Kino said. Nothing could be accomplished there and it was meaningless."

Seeing that Nicole's eyes were misty again, Roman quickly explained: "This is what I am going to tell you next. The root cause of the problem is not your ability or potential, but that you have misplaced yourself.

"

Nicole muttered to herself in a daze: "Positioning"

"Yes, positioning." Roman pointed at himself, "Take me for example. Do you think I am an excellent commander?"

Nicole hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Roman flicked her forehead: "Is there any need to hesitate? Of course not! I haven't even been to a military school. I don't know shit about command! I'm just a soldier of the Guards Corps, and my duty is to obey the orders of my superiors.

, the heroic fighting is gone, that’s it. For me, as long as I complete my mission, I will have a clear conscience."

"But if I don't position myself correctly, think about how to command the troops all day long, take a position that doesn't belong to me, regard these problems as my own business, but don't have the ability to solve them, troubles will naturally come to me.

Come on, let me start to have self-doubt and anxiety.”

"You have entered such a misunderstanding now. What is your position in the administrative residence? You are the executive's close guard. Your duty is to accompany Chino on his travels, protect his safety at critical moments, and complete the orders he gives you.

Gone!"

"As for exterminating the aliens, that is a matter shared by everyone, not just you! If you blame the failure on yourself alone, how can you not feel guilty?"

Nicole lowered her head and murmured: "But I am too weak. This is irrefutable."

Roman: "Then let me ask you, can you beat Paladin?"

To this question, Nicole could definitely nod her head.

Roman: "Can you beat Baixa?"

Nicole could still nod with certainty.

Roman: "Where's Lugo?"

Nicole hesitated for a while and said softly: "If you are fully prepared, you will definitely win."

Roman smiled and said: "Then the question is, these three people are not as good as you, why can they do a good job, one caravan manager, two eight-level officials, and are reused by Kino?"

Nicole thought for a long time and shook her head in confusion.

Roman pointed out the answer directly: "The reason is very simple. They can try their best to complete their duties and will not feel useless guilt about things beyond their abilities!"

"Kino said so many heartless words to you this time. He was not venting his dissatisfaction, nor was he deliberately insulting you. He just wanted to use these words to point out the problem in you. You are not strong-willed and you always want to prove it.

You can achieve great things with your own strength, but once you fail, you will doubt yourself and fall into negative emotions. This easily shaken will is more harmful than the failure itself."

"If you think about the three giants of Xilin Town, have they never failed? I don't believe it. They must have done many stupid things and caused a lot of losses to Chino. But these three people can get up quickly after failure and continue

Do your own job and try to make up for your mistakes next time. Instead of blindly feeling guilty and falling into constant self-doubt."

Nicole wiped her tears silently and said softly: "But, if I can be stronger"

Roman interrupted her: "Nicole, I didn't say that being weak is right. But between will and strength, the former is more important. Let me give you an analogy. According to seniors, a member of the Guards Corps once came here.

Warriors, before the age of 30, are in the fourth rank. Their potential is extremely impressive, but they are easily discouraged."

"Later, after being defeated in a battle, the soldier knelt in front of Prince Bolton's military tent and cried to apologize. The prince without a word deprived him of his personal guard qualifications and sent him to a remote border guard."

"Why? It's very simple. No matter how strong this kind of person is, his negative emotions will affect other people. Over time, many people will be depressed by him. This kind of person is commonly known as the black sheep."

Nicole said blankly: "You mean, in Kino's eyes, I am just the black sheep."

Roman paused, shook his head and said: "To be more precise, you have this tendency. You knelt at the door of the office and wanted to apologize. He asked you to go back to practice swordsmanship, and you cried again. This is a typical example of discouragement and lack of determination.

."

"So he secretly began to test you, offered to give you freedom, and hinted you to leave the executive mansion, wanting to see how you would choose."

"If you make a strong choice to stay, he will definitely accept you again. Because he knows that your confidence may have only been temporarily hit, and you just need to adjust."

"But if you choose to leave, then he is convinced in his heart that you are a weak-willed person. You would rather be weak, and the weak have their own uses. But never be discouraged, because those who are discouraged can only become the black sheep of the pack."

"So, when you stepped out of the government residence, he already got the answer. Now in his mind, he may really have removed you."

After hearing this, Nicole stayed for a long time, holding her head in frustration: "Why am I so stupid! Why didn't I understand the truth earlier?"

Roman looked at Nicole, his eyes getting darker and darker, and he suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Are you betting?"

Nicole raised her head blankly: "What are you betting on?"
