Chapter 947: 545 Being a Fence-Sitter Isn't Easy
So that's it...
Looking at Atifi 00, who had taken over the queen's body, a flash of realization appeared in Leon's eyes.
No wonder I was so lucky, just entering the Fresh-Keeping Hall and running into the small theater about the truth of that year. It turned out it was specifically for me to see.
"It'll do."
Nodding noncommittally, Leon stared at the gentle-smiling 'Wang Hou' and asked:
"Does Andre know about these things you just showed me?"
"Of course he doesn't."
The Wang Hou... or rather Atifi 00 smiled and replied:
"Although Feiliya's computing power is much stronger than mine, things like souls and memories are not something that can be handled just by having computing power. As the developer of Soul Encoding technology, I think it's not difficult to hide a little something from my 'work'."
"I see... It seems your relationship with that Prince Andre is even worse than I imagined."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Leon said:
"The reason you hid this past event was to wait for a time like this, so you could take it out to deal with him?"
"Don't put it so harshly."
Atifi 00 answered with a smile:
"I am, after all, Andre's aunt. Maybe I was just worried that the child would collapse, so I couldn't bear to tell him the truth?"
"..."
I believe you...
Glancing at her speechlessly, Leon didn't continue the conversation but pondered what was behind this past event.
After all, if what No. 0 Atifi showed me was true, and Prince Andre didn't know about it, then the blood case that happened to the Kroke royal family was a tragedy caused by a misunderstanding.
Because they couldn't bear to watch their two children die in incomparable despair from illness, the old king decided to sacrifice one to save the other, and because he didn't want Andre to bear the guilt of "sacrificing his sister to survive," he chose to hide the truth from him.
But in Andre's eyes, the entire Kroke royal family had fallen into madness. In order to solve the crisis facing the kingdom, they actually pressured the old king, demanding the sacrifice of his sister, who was only twelve years old.
And his parents didn't protect Feiliya but instead one gave the order and the other chose to acquiesce. On his sister's birthday, they had her brain taken out alive and made into a cold machine.
Honestly, if it were me, I'd probably go crazy if I encountered something like this.
Standing from the perspective of a fellow sister-con, after putting himself in Andre's shoes, Leon couldn't help but shake his head slightly, somewhat understanding the reason for all his actions.
King Emperor Fei En and his wife didn't want Andre to live with guilt, but from the result, doing so took even more things away from him.
From Andre's perspective, if his father could sacrifice his sister for the kingdom, he could naturally sacrifice him too. So everything in the past turned into false lies, and the happier and more perfect his original life was, the deeper the pain.
Honestly, if Prince Andre's surname were Uchiha, this wave would probably be enough to open his eyes, and at least it would be a three-tomoe. With such a deadly unlucky thing happening to him, if he doesn't go crazy, who will?
However, understanding is understanding. But given the current situation, if this information could be used to deal with Andre, I should use it as I should, and I definitely wouldn't hesitate at all.
Understanding and sympathy are things for after the fight. After dragging him out of Research Area No. 1 and removing all his resistance, there will be plenty of time to sympathize with him slowly.
As for whether this information can be used to deal with Prince Andre...
Maybe.
If Prince Andre really doesn't know about this, then me spilling this "truth of that year" would indeed cause him no small psychological damage, but the result might not necessarily be favorable to our side.
Considering that the ancestors of the Kroke royal family were originally very powerful cleaners, the possibility of Prince Andre's spirit suffering "heavy damage" and then creating anomalous objects like the future Joshua is not generally high.
If he didn't have a mental breakdown and give up resistance, but instead started going even crazier and directly exploded, then that would be lifting a rock only to drop it on my own feet. Rashly revealing the truth of that year to Prince Andre might not be a good thing. The significance of this information is not as great as it seems...
However, this news might not be completely worthless either.
Thinking of this, Leon glanced at the "Wang Hou" in front of him and took the initiative to ask:
"Atifi... I'll just call you Atifi directly. There is one thing I'm very curious about. I don't know if you can answer it for me?"
"Go ahead, but whether I can answer depends on what you ask. If you ask about Andre's trump cards, I definitely can't tell you."
"Don't worry, I won't ask about his trump cards. I want to ask about what happened that year."
Staring at the "Wang Hou's" emerald eyes, which were the same as Feiliya's, Leon asked word by word:
"Did Andre and Feiliya really 'get sick' that year?"
"..."
"What do you mean?"
After a moment of silence, the smile on the "Wang Hou's" mouth faded slightly, then she frowned and said:
"I just showed you what happened that year. Except for Emperor Fei En's actions being simulated by me because his brain was taken away, all the memories about these things are from their own brains. I don't have the ability to fake things in this regard."
"I'm not suspecting you of faking it."
Leon shook his head and pressed step by step:
"I suspect whether the information King Emperor Fei En received was true.
Can you please tell me, were Andre and Feiliya really sick that year, and would both die if one wasn't sacrificed, or did someone secretly do something to create a smart machine ten times better than themselves?"
"You suspect their illness was fabricated by me?"
Hearing Leon's words, the "Wang Hou's" face couldn't help but turn slightly cold, then she said unkindly:
"Stop daydreaming. Our Kroke Kingdom has very deep research on the brain. There are more than three hundred scholars who have made achievements in this area. If I had done something, wouldn't Emperor Fei En have gone to ask others for verification?"
"There are many scholars who understand the brain, but at that time, you were the only smart machine. And the brains of your Kroke royal family were originally very different from ordinary people's. Those scholars might not necessarily not have been deceived."
Looking at the "Wang Hou" who was staring at him dead, with hidden anger in her expression, Leon concluded:
"So in this matter, the possibility of you doing something is not zero, am I right?"
"..."
"Of course, or I can put it more bluntly."
Leon slowed down his speech, staring at her and continuing:
"What's important is actually not what the truth is, but what Prince Andre is more willing to believe.
On one side is that because of a misunderstanding, he personally slaughtered his family and relatives, and he himself is the biggest mistake. He doesn't even know who to take revenge on;
While on the other side is that someone was playing a conspiracy, deliberately creating this tragedy through his hands, at least there is a mastermind behind the scenes who can be retaliated against... Guess which one he is willing to believe?"
"..."
That must be the second one... And if Andre knew this "truth," he would probably move to destroy himself immediately!
Looking at Leon, who was aggressive in front of her, the "Wang Hou's" face no longer showed the previous playfulness and ease. Having already begun to regret taking the initiative to contact Leon, she couldn't help but frown and question:
"What exactly do you want to do!"
"Of course, it's to cooperate with you more deeply."
Leon said with an unchanging expression:
"What I want is not a fence-sitter swaying in the wind, but your more thorough and unreserved support... Atifi, you also wouldn't want the truth of that year to be known by your good nephew, right?" ===== CHAPTER 948 =====
