Chapter 576 Paranoia of Persecution
At Raelier's home.
Looking at Solindis, Rael could clearly sense the instantaneous change in the other's gaze—a look of doubt and incomprehension.
Solindis desperately wanted to hear that the news was false, because if it was true... how would Raelil explain all of this?
"Darling, is there something on my face?" Rael touched his face.
Solindis smiled and said, "No, I was just thinking about where we should have the wedding."
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense. "Could it be that Solindis already knows... knows what I've done?"
Rael's eyes darted away; he suddenly couldn't look his fiancée in the eye.
Solindis was the same; she didn't want to believe it was true, but...
...
As usual, Solindis had just finished a day's work.
When she was still a few hundred meters from home, a little boy suddenly blocked her way.
The boy merely met her gaze, and Solindis understood—those X-shaped pupils. It was Crimson Moon!
“You wanted to see me…” Solindis’s expression was grave.
The Black King is currently purging the remnants of the Crimson Moon forces across the world, but at this very moment, members of the Crimson Moon have come looking for him.
"Don't forget, Sister Solindis, you are also part of Crimson Moon. Don't rush to let me finish what I have to say."
The boy's name was Ulo, and he looked to be only seven or eight years old. His face was covered in mud, and his tattered clothes seemed to tell a story of a life that was not easy for him.
This was a difficult situation for Uro. At an age when he should be playing happily with his friends, he was instead being hunted down by the dynasty, and everything he did was just to survive.
"This time, we saw the man's face clearly and found out his identity."
Uro spoke weakly, and looking at his empty stomach, it was hard to tell how long he had been hungry.
“I have some food here that I just bought…” Solindis was about to hand the food to the boy.
“I’m sorry, Sister Solindis, I can’t accept your food.” Uro shook his head, even though his instincts compelled him to take the food, the thought of those like him…
“We...we just want you to see the truth.”
Solindis felt a pang of anxiety. As a Kanria, she was a hybrid of Black Sun and Crimson Moon.
"His name was Raelil, and he claimed to be a soldier in the Royal Guard."
Upon hearing Uro utter the name Raelil, Solindis covered her mouth, feeling a wave of dizziness as if she had been struck by a heavy blow.
"What did you say... ...Impossible, how could Raelil do that?" Solindis took a few steps back, his legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground.
"Believe it or not, Sister Solindis, this is the truth. But what about the innocent people?"
"How ironic. The person you're engaged to is actually such an executioner."
After saying that, Uro left without looking back. "Thank you for the food, but I can't accept it. You can't save us. But everyone hopes you can see him clearly."
Solindis lowered his head. "This can't be the real Raelil."
To verify whether Uro's words were true, she decided to sound out her fiancé today.
That's why the scene just now happened.
...
“Rayl, we…”
Before Solindis could finish speaking, a shout came from outside; it was Han Yu.
“Brother Raelier.”
Han Yu interrupted Solindis. Seeing that the newcomer, Rael, was breathing rapidly, he wondered if something else had happened!
"Or is it that... the King no longer trusts me and has come to kidnap Solindis!"
Raelil's pupils constricted, his hands trembling slightly. "No!...I can't just watch Solindis be taken away...Hurry, Raelil! Do something!!!"
He was constantly struggling internally. Every step Han Yu took was, in Rael's eyes, like an executioner grinning as he raised his axe.
"Could it be that the King knew I was deliberately delaying my actions for so long, which is why he sent him..."
In this cycle, Han Yu became the head of the Empire's secret service, employing extremely cruel methods. Any Red Moon member who dared to resist fell in a pool of blood.
Therefore, Han Yu also earned the title of "King's Blood Hand," which roughly means the Black King's number one executioner.
Rael was ready, his hand already gripping the dagger at his waist. Knowing he was outmatched, he was determined to fight for his beloved.
But what Han Yu did next stunned Rael...
"Sister-in-law Solindis, how come you two are already arguing before you're even married?" Han Yu's tone held no murderous intent.
Rayleigh quickly realized that they didn't want to fight in the street, but rather wanted to do it secretly...
"Rayler, there's an urgent matter with the guards, and they need more manpower."
"This prince is very generous. He said he'll give a lot of money as a reward. How about we go together?"
To outsiders, Han Yu and Lei Lier had a good relationship, and they even thought of each other when it came to such private matters.
But in Raelil's eyes, Han Yu was trying to get rid of him on purpose and then secretly send someone to take Solindis away.
"No, I'm not feeling well and want to rest." Raelil had been troubled by the matter of Solindis, and his face looked much more haggard.
“Go ahead, my dear Raelil. I’ll be waiting for you at home,” Solindis suddenly said.
Just then, our female lead, Funina, made her appearance!
"Oh, you're all here. I was just thinking of going to see an opera with Solindis."
Fufu walked over with a more cheerful gait and took Solindis's right arm.
"Oh, it's Funina. I really learned a lot about dessert making from you at the last dinner party."
Raelier's suspicions immediately arose upon hearing of Funina's arrival.
"Could it be that this seemingly harmless girl is not actually Han Yu's wife, but rather his subordinate by his side?"
Rael, being a skilled intelligence agent, keenly sensed something amiss.
Dude, do you have paranoia?
It's no wonder Rayleigh is like this; the current state of Kanria is different from what it used to be. The Black King has been corrupted by the Abyss, and the dynasty is in turmoil. It's hard for anyone to settle down and live a peaceful life.
Just how crazy is it?
During his first reincarnation, Han Yu witnessed such a scene on the street: a man had merely rescued a stranger, but that stranger was a remnant of the Crimson Moon, and then his family was also implicated.
This is the current state of Canria, where everyone lives in fear.
"Oh, by the way, darling, I'm going to see an opera with Solindis. I've already bought the tickets."
Funina took out the tickets she had prepared beforehand and waved them in her hand.
Good guy!
The opera ticket prominently features a photo of Fukalos.
"Today is my sister's opera performance, and tickets are extremely hard to come by," Funina said, explaining how difficult it was to get these two tickets.
Yes, you heard right. Furina and Fukaros call themselves sisters in public, otherwise there would be no way to explain why the two look so alike, as if they were made from the same mold.
"Alright, alright, you men should go if you have something to do, don't keep me and Solindis from going to the opera."
Fufu truly lives up to her reputation as the queen of drama; she defused the tense atmosphere with just a few words...
