0614 Chapter 13 The Death of the Yellow-throated Sloth Section 40
"What do you think God is? Is he omniscient and omnipotent? There are thousands of gods in the heavens and all the worlds. Perhaps only the one at the top in the legend has this ability. Time does not go backwards, and what you don't know is what you don't know.
If you think you know everything like the leader of another team, you can list your judgment and evidence. Otherwise, as he accused, your suspicion cannot be ruled out until the truth comes out.
.
Now, it’s time to focus on business. Miss Musician, don’t you think that he can get things over by just talking about it, or do you think that I will really tell you the secret of evolution?”
Lan MaLing accused her like this, and Qu Yun had no choice but to withdraw her strong desire for knowledge and shrug her shoulders.
We really can’t blame the Yunshang fairies for skewing the topic. After all, no one has much chance to talk to the living gods. Even the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty who were born and raised in the animal kingdom, except for the Prime Minister Turtle, the elder of the three dynasties who lived as a goblin, most of them
It was the first time to see the god of their world.
Lan MaLing was very satisfied and said in an ethereal tone: "Then, according to the tradition of the kingdom, I would like to invite the two heirs and the two leaders of the sages from other worlds to accompany me to see the king's body. Based on our tradition, we will be led by
This person has been chosen as the successor to the next king."
Princess Yili Rat Rabbit suddenly interjected: "Miss Musician will fully represent my position. I will stay in the throne room to wait for the results, or summons if necessary."
Although her eyes were red, Princess Rat Rabbit's voice was very steady and calm at this moment. Of course, everything she said was discussed with Qu Yun earlier. Many courtiers cast surprised glances. They had never behaved like this before.
Saw it on the princess.
"Are you sure you want to give up your power?" Lan MaLing asked calmly, as if presiding over some sacred ceremony.
"I firmly give up the right to argue for myself personally and believe that my spokesperson will confirm that I am the only crown prince who should inherit the throne.
According to our tradition, it is the right of the heir to entrust a sage from another world to act as his sole agent." Princess Rat Rabbit was flawless. After saying this, she lifted up her skirt and bowed in a very decent manner, and retreated to a corner of the hall with the support of the blue snake maid.
As soon as these words came out, there was another low-pitched discussion. In the eyes of the ministers of the kingdom, they had thought that the Tasmanian Devil Prince would inherit the throne for many years and it would become a certain fact. This was the first time they heard Princess Pika personally declare her fight for the throne.
's last wish.
"That's true." Lan MaLing didn't say anything more and led the Tasmanian Devil Prince, Qu Yun and the boss up the spiral staircase behind the throne.
After climbing the spiral staircase, they arrived at the room outside the king's bedroom where Yin Xiyi had fought before. Lan Maling finally confirmed:
"You each claim that your side should inherit the throne, and no one wants to withdraw, right? Then, you respectively claim that Prince Tasmanian Devil and Princess Ili Pika killed the previous King Yellow-throated Sloth, right?"
"No, I told you, it was the people from Yunshang Immortal Mansion who did it!" At this moment, the boss has no scruples about causing trouble for the Tasmanian Devil Prince. He must achieve his goal.
In the past two days, he also learned in detail about the succession tradition of the animal kingdom. Sages from other worlds can put forward their own claims, and no matter whether their claims are finally confirmed or falsified, they will not be punished for it.
So at this moment, even if his plan didn't succeed at all, he still had to put the blame on Qu Yun and the others.
Such an attempt was almost costless to him, and failure meant nothing more than no reward for clearing the game. It was impossible for a musician to kill him in front of a god. In the end, the unlucky one was the nasty Tasmanian Devil, who was with him.
Doesn't matter.
But once he succeeds, it will be a huge achievement for him to return to the outer world. If he can do something that even his master cannot do, there is no doubt that he will rise to success from then on.
Seeing Lan Maling looking at her with blank eyes, Qu Yun shrugged and said: "Princess Rat Rabbit did not tell Yizi what she did in detail. She completely trusted Yizi's analysis and judgment ability. Isn't that interesting?"
No matter what analysis she gives in the end, she is not worried that someone will go to Princess Pika to verify her statement. Because according to the tradition of the animal kingdom, once the heir is determined, no one can overturn the reason even if it is inconsistent with the facts.
Princess Rat Rabbit, who became the queen, has no obligation to answer any questions.
People who are familiar with the case-handling routines of the world may be very puzzled by the weird customs of the animal kingdom. In fact, it should be understandable as long as you understand that their purpose is to select an heir rather than to find the real murderer. What do these two things have to do with each other?
Is there a difference? Sometimes it is.
Isn't it better for a king who has the means to make everyone believe that what others do is by his own hand than a king who is unable to save the fruits of his labor from others after completing the work with excellent assassination skills? The animal kingdom believes in the law of the jungle.
, but the "strength" that the king needs is obviously not just a matter of one person facing an enemy.
Therefore, they do not need to be questioned separately, nor do they need to avoid observation of the scene when making statements to avoid lying.
"Yeah," the Tasmanian Devil Prince grinned and pulled the bandages on his body to prevent his own blood from staining the scene, and said in a similar manner: "If we don't find all the clues and evidence, even if we make any claims, it will be meaningless.
Isn’t it?”
Obviously, these two people who can keep their composure are not at the same level as the previous boss who was eager to express his position. From the ambiguous answer of the Tasmanian Devil Prince, Qu Yun even realized that this badger may not know what happened.
Things. In this case, it would be really interesting...
Of course, she wasn't sure, because with the badger's character, it was very possible that he pretended to be confused and deliberately tricked her for fun.
This room, considered the king's study, was brightly lit at the moment. In fact, there were stains on the scene, but there was no blood, just strange jelly-like fragments.
Among the four people present, Qu Yun was obviously the least interested in the various signs here. She walked straight towards the king's bedroom without looking away, and the others had to hurry to follow. Everyone was worried about what she would do, especially when
The Tasmanian Devil Prince has just been trapped on a magic platform and unable to leave.
The bedroom door is open, and the King Yellow-throated Sloth is wearing pajamas and sitting peacefully on the bed. There are no wounds on his body, as if he is sleeping soundly. In fact, sloths look like this most of the time. I really don’t know why.
Who could tell that the king was dead in such a short period of time?
There was just a puddle of water on its chest, and the smell of alcohol was so strong that we could probably tell the composition of the liquid. There was also a broken wine bottle on the stone floor. Judging from the angle, it rolled from the king's hand after he was poisoned and lost his strength.
The smell of fruit wine emanated from the nearly dried water stains on the floor.
Seeing the king's death, the Tasmanian Devil Prince felt certain and showed a sinister smile: "I heard that the two of you had an argument in front of the throne room the day before yesterday, and Miss Musician intended to protect the two attackers who were lucky enough to have fate. Is this possible?
"
"Yes." Qu Yun slightly restrained her smile when she mentioned Lan Feng.
"According to the testimony of Mr. Boss, the unknown person who used a hidden weapon to attack in the distance that day was Miss Lan Feng who was captured downstairs. Based on what she did, Mr. Boss caught her and temporarily detained her in our
There. And she disappeared before our eyes tonight,"
The Tasmanian Devil Prince spoke slowly and unhurriedly, giving everyone enough time to think:
"At this time, she was detained by the priest. She must have appeared at an inappropriate time and place. Is my guess correct?"
After hearing this, Lan Maling turned to Qu Yun expressionlessly: "Is that woman named Lan Feng from your side?"
Although there was an obvious conspiracy here, Qu Yun still nodded in agreement without thinking: "She was already a member of the Yunshang Immortal Mansion in our world a long time ago. She just stayed in Fu Da Ming Da temporarily."
"As she said, we have discovered this matter a long time ago." The boss smiled. He did not have the confidence to deal with Qu Yun in other matters, but in this matter alone he knew that Qu Yun would definitely suffer the loss.
Just like Qu Yun saw through its character, the Tasmanian Devil Prince also made a judgment about Qu Yun since he learned that Yunshang Immortal Mansion chose his incompetent sister.
However, the panicked look expected by the boss from the musician did not appear. He expected that Qu Yun would voluntarily jump into the pit for Lan Feng, but he did not expect that pushing Lan Feng to the forefront would not move the calmness of this terrifying opponent at all.
.
In fact, the boss only knows that musicians are as emotional as he used to be, but he doesn't know how Qu Yun is the kind of passionate young man who gets angry and stabs his partners when they see them in danger? What she cares about is only the result that her partners are safe.
Even if you scold the person you care about face to face, what's the harm in throwing dirty water on her?
But now that she frankly admitted her relationship with Lan Feng, and even followed the prince's accusation to tie their relationship even tighter, she naturally had her own plans.
When neither of her two teams found any trace of Lan Feng, Qu Yun had already prepared for the worst. At this time, the situation where Lan Feng was used by her opponent to deal with her was already the best outcome of all her speculations. Because
The unexpected attack previously temporarily trapped the Tasmanian Devil Prince, and Lan Feng's card was completely in vain.
Qu Yun stepped forward slowly and picked up a small piece of something from under the broken wine bottle in full view of everyone.
It was the echo that made her notice a small piece of gelatinous red translucent substance hidden by the thin ceramic shards of the wine bottle. In terms of size and color, it looked like a piece of cherry-flavored jelly.
"Yi Zi needs to be checked, is that okay?" Qu Yun stared at the sloth's body and slightly raised her eyes to look at the blue antelope.
"I'll do it." The blue antelope stepped up to the king's side, and a small bowl appeared out of thin air in its hand like a player in the Lamarck game. Then it put its fingers together and made a stroke, and a few drops of black blood oozed from the corpse's wrist.
Drop into the bowl.
As a god who has been alive for an unknown number of years, the Blue Horse Antelope first thought of the possibility of poisoning after seeing the death of the king.
"The death was peaceful, without any sign of pain. Such poison is not common. I want to tell the story of the blue snake maid and the first animal to discover the death of the king." A smile appeared on Qu Yun's lips.
No one gave the order. The blue horse gazelle directly stretched its hand into the void and pulled a snake and a rhinoceros out of thin air into the bedroom through the rippling space from nowhere. The two of them had obviously never experienced such a thing, and they looked panicked.
, there was also a faint commotion downstairs.
"You have the antidote on you, right? Come and prove that the king died from your venom." Qu Yun seemed to be extremely confident in her judgment, and immediately turned to the head of the woolly rhinoceros guard and said: "Please describe in detail what you saw tonight.
Everything to do.”
The hairy rhinoceros guard captain was a peerless strong man, but his strong body seemed a little rickety at this time. He lowered his eyes for a few seconds, then opened his eyes, the lightning was like a torch, and said in a calm voice: "Then the princess will visit from eight o'clock on the hour.
Speaking of which, His Majesty the King was very happy and welcomed Princess Rat and Rabbit upstairs, and the two had a friendly conversation..."
"Please eliminate your subjective feelings and objectively describe what you saw." Prince Tasmanian Devil reminded in a gloomy voice.
"Yes," the woolly rhinoceros nodded and said again:
"When His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Princess were talking, I didn't hear any noise. But then at 8:40, the Tasmanian Devil Prince hurried over and rushed up the spiral staircase. Then I heard noisy sounds, and then the King was very angry.
He said he didn't want to see anyone anymore, so I sent the prince and princess out of the throne room as ordered.
At early nine o'clock, I went to remind the king that it was bedtime, and found that he had already gone into the bedroom to rest. The previous meeting on bad terms made me worried that something might happen at night, so I proposed outside the bedroom door to stay here to protect His Majesty.
, but His Majesty refused because it was too noisy.
So I blew out all the lights and lowered the curtains to block out the sound of wind and rain.
After that, I went downstairs and stood guard in the throne room. But within five minutes, I heard the obvious sound of fighting upstairs. I was shocked and rushed upstairs, and was immediately attacked.
The room outside was completely dark at that time. I fought with all my strength based on instinct, thinking that I had destroyed the opponent's will with one blow. But then I opened the curtains and found that the opponent seemed unharmed. Yes, it was the one downstairs.
The sage from another world named Lan Feng was immobilized by the priest early in the morning.
After I opened the curtain, she immediately dropped the weapon in her hand and surrendered. According to our tradition, I did not embarrass this sage from another world, I just controlled her and rushed into the king's bedroom.
At that time, the Sloth King was sitting here like this. When he heard the door opening, he scolded me not to disturb his rest. When he learned that a sage from another world appeared in his study, His Majesty asked me to leave her in the throne room first.
Let’s talk about everything tomorrow.
At this time, the Laughing Owl also came in with the wounded prince, saying that His Highness the Prince might want to break into His Majesty's bedroom from the outside. His Majesty also requested that the Prince be kept in the throne room under his supervision, and that everything would be discussed tomorrow.
We took everyone down. I continued to guard the throne room, while the Laughing Owl returned to the bell tower two floors above the king's bedroom and continued to guard the outer wall.
At 9:25, I heard His Majesty calling me, so I went upstairs. Unexpectedly, His Majesty didn't respond to the calls I made several times at the door of the bedroom. I pushed them in, and immediately felt with panic that His Majesty's life energy had been exhausted.
Completely annihilated.
He must have realized that he was poisoned when he called me at that time. This is really...ah. The laughing owl flew in from the window after hearing my shout. Together we confirmed that His Majesty was indeed dead, so we knocked on the clock at half past nine.
The death knell has sounded." The woolly rhinoceros said this in one breath, his resolute face twitching slightly.
At this time, the blue snake maid had hooked up her vial with her tail, flexibly opened the cap and dropped a drop of light yellow liquid into the bowl containing the king's blood. The liquids quickly merged together, and the originally black blood also
becomes bright red.
"It's my poison." She nodded and looked at Qu Yun with a very strange look.
The scene in front of him made the boss frown: "What does this mean? Does it mean that just because the Blue Snake Maid is a person close to Princess Pika of Yili, it can prove that it was Princess Pika who poisoned me, and you are innocent?"
I think this can also prove that you took the venom from the Blue Snake Maid and poisoned it as an outsider!" He was obviously trying to argue forcefully, and his voice was extremely lacking in confidence.
"Yeah..." Qu Yun sighed, tapped her head with her fingers and said angrily: "This can indeed prove our innocence.
The poison of the blue snake maid will kill you within five minutes. Only five minutes passed from the time when the king finally exchanged the woolly rhinoceros guards to when Yin Xiyi appeared in front of Prime Minister Turtle.
In other words, if you can understand it, even if our Yin Xiyi has been to the king's bedroom, she must have left before the king was poisoned in order to appear in front of Prime Minister Turtle."
This time Qu Yun called her teammates by their full names instead of nicknames, so that people in the animal kingdom could understand who she was referring to.
No one would doubt the accuracy of the time mentioned by the witnesses. Even the boss knew that these four-dimensional creatures perceive time so accurately that they do not need timing instruments. The "about five minutes" they said refers to four and a half minutes.
The interval from fifteen seconds to five minutes and five seconds, the error before and after is no more than five seconds.
What's more, there is actually a clock in the king's study.
In this way, the possibility that Qu Yun or Yin Xiyi poisoned the king and then rushed to Prime Minister Gui was indeed ruled out, while the rest of the Yunshang Immortal Mansion...
"And the rest of you will stay on the magic platform with my guards. This does not need to be verified. I have already learned from my subordinates and can vouch for you." Prince Tasmanian Devil said calmly. In this inevitable situation
There is no point in getting hung up on something that has been confirmed. Prince Tasmanian Devil still has some courage.
Unlike the boss who was blessed with great fortune, he was looking at the prince with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
It's like an amateur Go player who clearly has lost but doesn't know it and insists on fighting for an inch. In fact, the reason why professional Go players can easily win is because they have already set up a life-or-death situation where the outcome can be determined.
Seize the opportunity fifty steps ahead.
"The same is true for Lan Feng," the Tasmanian Devil Prince sighed and said it himself: "The time when she was controlled by the woolly rhinoceros guard was much earlier than the time when her father was poisoned. If it is suspected that she was poisoned,
If it’s poisonous, then it’s completely unjustifiable in terms of time.”
Qu Yun's sudden actions really ruined many of his plans. The good card of Lan Feng, which could have been a serious blow to Qu Yun, was safely saved by the opponent without any blood. In the view of the Tasmanian Devil Prince, this chess game
It's really a pity that I missed one move.
But no one expected that the prince would stop sighing at this time, and suddenly the conversation would change:
"But so what?
You have tried so hard to prove that you and the sages from other worlds in your team were not involved in the assassination of my father. Didn’t you just help me prove that the assassination was completed by this palace? Could it be that you still want to say that my father was assassinated?
Was it my useless sister who assassinated her?"
The Tasmanian Devil Prince made a startling statement, and then revealed a sinister smile.
This is its true purpose.
The Tasmanian Devil Prince did have another set of plans, but everything was disrupted by Qu Yun. But as a real chess player, the Tasmanian Devil Prince saw the tricks. It can be seen from Qu Yun's impeccable answer to the Blue Horse Priest.
He instantly understood that the other person was as ignorant of the truth as he was.
Some other force intervened, or the different planning actions of all parties interacted with each other, causing things to develop into a situation that no one expected.
Therefore, it took advantage of every move, and the backhand move that was originally intended to blame Yunshang Immortal Mansion became a coup to prove its own behavior. It concluded that its opponent also did not know the truth, so it was emboldened and unscrupulous. In this way, the matter would develop into an argument that failed.
Those present were quarreling over how to carry out the assassination.
And for this, it has another wonderful trump card.
"Princess Rat Rabbit would not assassinate her own father,"
Unexpectedly, Qu Yun showed more magnanimity than it did, skipping the part that it was worried about where they would accuse each other of being the same as each other without knowing the truth, and admitted the ultimate goal it wanted to achieve. But she also turned against him.
hit:
"But does this prove that you did it? If the king dies unexpectedly and no heir completes the tradition, will there be other processes for the next king?"
The Tasmanian Devil Prince instantly understood that his opponent also knew the truth of the incident, so he realized that the truth was that neither of the two heirs had killed the late king with their own hands.
However, in its view, the musician chose the last resort. She failed to understand that the truth was completely meaningless in this inheritance battle.
The only way for Princess Pika to survive is to insist that it was Pika who killed the king. The musician's choice to give up this idea is tantamount to establishing its victory. It has been planning for many years, how could it not consider the natural or accidental nature of the king?
Circumstances of death?
When it comes to the situation that Qu Yun mentioned, heirs often compete with each other for the support behind them. Most of the powerful people in the court believe that the strong are respected, and they are naturally more respected for the ambition, courage and means they have shown over the years.
As for the majority who support the old king’s benevolent government, they are unwilling to support the power of an insidious new king...
"Miss Musician, you have disappointed me so much," it shook its head confidently: "I thought you had the same ability to recognize people as I do, but I didn't want to be so completely deceived by my scheming sister."
"Ha." Qu Yun chuckled. The sister who was "ineffective" just now turned into a "scheming" sister.
The Tasmanian Devil Prince ignored Qu Yun completely and continued on by himself: "You personally said that the princess could not be assassinated, but the king died from the poison of the princess's maid. Don't you think this is a bit contradictory?"
Why did the Tasmanian Devil Prince let the giant hyena general get the Blue Snake Maid's poison? This link has troubled Qu Yun for a long time. After all, according to the weird tradition of the animal kingdom where they have to take the blame on themselves, using the Blue Snake Maid's poison
No matter how you look at the poisoning with venom, it looks like you are helping the Ili Rat and Rabbit Princess.
Until this moment, Qu Yun finally understood everything, but she still joked tit for tat: "His Royal Highness the Prince personally proved that I, Yunshang Immortal Mansion, was not involved in the assassination, and also emphasized that the king died of the poison of the princess's personal maid. Do you mean to say,
In fact, it was Her Highness the Princess who completed the assassination, right?"
The Tasmanian Devil Prince choked hard.
Everyone knew that this was impossible, and Qu Yun obviously did not take this assumption seriously and tried to confirm it. This was simply a meaningless logical sophistry, but it was enough to make the prince very... embarrassed.
So it ignored Qu Yun's provocation and went straight to the point with a straight face: "My sister has been secretly preparing to murder my father, which is why the venom of the blue snake maid appeared today. After all, no one except her can get this kind of venom."
poison!
Thinking of the deep love between father and son, I didn't want to take action so early. It was my sister's sudden action tonight that forced me to take action first. I knew that she was going to take action when she met my father alone, so I rushed over to destroy it.
Her plan was to use a trick to borrow the poison she had prepared and complete the subsequent assassination independently."
Seeing how the Tasmanian Devil Prince confuses right and wrong, Qu Yun instantly figured out the key to the support of courtiers. If what Princess Rat and Rabbit told herself before was true, then there must be many courtiers under a benevolent king who do not understand the kingdom's traditions.
Insidiousness and viciousness are the forces of virtue. She smiled softly and said:
"Oh? So your Highness thinks so? Then we finally have a disagreement. This incident is a good thing. First of all, Yiko needs to prove the innocence of Her Highness the Princess."
Hearing this, even the High Priest of the Blue Horse, the world god of the animal kingdom, was stunned.
It has witnessed the succession of thrones for thousands of generations, witnessed many exquisite and artistic murder designs, and many stunning sophistry that reversed right and wrong and turned defeat into victory, but today is the first time that one of the heirs insists on proving that the other party has a motive for the attack, while the other
You have to prove your innocence.
Qu Yun ignored it and continued at her own pace: "The giant hyena general was ordered by His Highness the Prince to frighten the blue maid, and deceive the venom left by the frightened maid after biting him, in order to frame His Highness the Princess for having an affair.
Murderous Heart. There are many loopholes in the specific situation that day. You can ask Miss Blue Snake and the General for verification in the future."
"Hey, you just want to draw a conclusion just by talking to yourself? The parties involved are all directly related to our fight today. I'm afraid it's unclear whether the general actually went to see the princess or not.
I also saw General Hyena today, but I didn’t see any obvious wounds on his body!” When the Tasmanian Devil Prince frowned in thought, the boss shouted on his behalf.
"Given the general's strength, I'm afraid the wound will be completely healed on the same day after taking the antidote. But there is no point in denying what happened that day, because the giant hyena general left conclusive evidence.
It left traces in places where it should never be. Yes, in the maid-only bathroom in Princess Rat Rabbit's palace in Ili, it left its own mane on the inner hinge of the door due to a sudden bite."
After Qu Yun finished speaking, the High Priest of Lan Ma Ling pointed in the void. Ripples were produced in a space, and a scene that was obviously located in another place appeared on the opposite side. After a little exploration, the High Priest quickly located the evidence mentioned by Qu Yun.
Although the animal kingdom does not have any DNA testing technology, it still has rich experience and technology in comparing hair to determine identity.
There are only a few people who are likely to enter the princess's palace, and the giant hyena general himself has an upright character. Even if he wants to lie, it is probably difficult. If the prince still insists on this matter in this situation, it will be really serious.
A little ugly.
The Tasmanian Devil Prince was a little surprised. It sent a giant hyena general to confuse the audience, hoping to kill two birds with one stone in troubled waters. It misled Qu Yun into judging his assassination plan and framed his sister as the blame. However, it did not expect that the opponent would find out this kind of poison based on the ingredients of the poison.
clue.
Another good card was solved by his opponent, but the prince was not moved at all. For him, it didn't matter even if he couldn't prove that his sister had evil intentions, because since he saw the scene of the Sloth King's death, he had enough confidence to prove that he was the murderer.
dead king.
At this point, the two sides are facing each other tit for tat, and it is obvious that they are pulling the reasoning of the incident to their own rhythm. The Tasmanian Devil Prince has been planning for a long time, and has buried many secret moves at this time to take advantage of the opportunity; Qu Yun is confident that no matter what kind of unexpected situation,
The adverse situations that occurred were dealt with one by one without any alarm.
Based on the experience of the Blue Horse Antelope, it can be seen that the truth of the matter may be beyond the expectations of both parties. At least there are many details that neither of them had imagined, otherwise they would not be so cautious when they first expressed their stance.
After all, this is not a complicated choice. Either you succeed in the assassination and inherit the throne; or your opponent succeeds in the assassination and lose your head. In the past, after the death of the previous king, all the heirs would rush to accuse it of committing the murder.
Except for those who knew they were unable to argue and were about to die, and were completely paralyzed by fear and gave up.
Most of the time, the results are easy to judge, because the heir who successfully executes the assassination will definitely leave clear clues to avoid being replaced.
How could it have thought that this time, one of the two was tricked into using an alibi and unable to take action, while the other was a client who resolutely refused to take action. Well, I'm afraid even if it didn't have to do anything, it would just require Princess Pika to admit it verbally.
It is extremely difficult to kill your own father.
Under this situation that was beyond their control, the two sides were actually able to exchange words and exchanges. The calmness they showed, the layers of planning in advance, and the impeccable response made the high priest feel frightened.
As for the other two parties involved in this matter... Princess Yili Rat Rabbit entrusted everything to the musicians. Perhaps it was because of her ability to recognize people and even foresight and behind-the-scenes manipulation, or perhaps it was just her womanly kindness and hypocrisy that allowed her to control the enemy.
Be willing to face the facts or avoid knowing you are incompetent.
But it doesn't matter. In the final analysis, what she shows is just mysterious and unpredictable.
