Unknown Knight

"Aix, please, let Aileyon go. Our family can't survive without him! Please, let him go for our sake."

Yamila was crying and her image was completely shattered, but Axel still refused to let go. His originally passionate heart had now turned cold, so he simply pushed Yamila away, turned around and left her his back.

Seeing this, Yamila felt as if her energy had been drained out of her. She sat down on the ground with drooping spirit. However, when she thought of the two children at home who might lose their father at any time, she regained her spirits and hugged Aix's legs and cried:

"I have no choice, Aix. If Aileyon dies, what will happen to me and his two children? They are still young and innocent."

Aix sighed, knowing that once a woman has children, she will transfer her body and mind to them. Yamila was crying and begging him, probably just to give the two children a stable life, not for Aileyen, at least not entirely. His heart softened again, so he squatted down and held Yamila's shoulders with both hands, and said to her affectionately:

"Come back, Yamila, come back to me. I will raise the two children and treat them as my own. Airen must die!"

"I, I love Aileyen and can't live without him. Aix, please, please let us go. Besides me, you have other women, and Aileyen only has me. Please let us go, okay? Please."

Yamila's words "he only has me" deeply hurt Axe, which really made Axe unable to refute. This is probably the main reason why Yamila changed her mind.

I remember someone once said: Don't try to win back a woman who has changed her mind, because that will only make things worse. Jamila had obviously changed her mind a long time ago, and Aix couldn't scold her for being unfaithful, because there was no feudal ethics here. Many women were like Jamila, and they didn't have a specific concept of loyalty in their hearts. The feelings between men and women depended entirely on communication.

After all, Aix and Yamila have been separated for so long, and she lives with Aileyen day and night, so her emotions will naturally shift to Aileyen. Although I have the advantage now, Yamila still chooses Aileyen without hesitation. It can only be said that the two of them are really in love.

What could Aix say about all this? He blamed himself for not being strong enough to protect Yamila. He also blamed the unpredictable world and fate for deliberately leaving a proud person with lifelong regrets.

In an instant, Aix's hatred seemed to have dissipated for the most part. To put it bluntly, he brought a large army to make such a big scene today, partly out of revenge for himself, but mostly for Yamila, for the vows they had made, and for the regret of losing the one he loved.

If Yamila returned to him without hesitation today, it meant that she did not have much feelings for Airen. Aix would lead his troops into the city to kill him without hesitation. But now Yamila's heart could not be won back, and it would not make much sense to call for the killing of her enemy Airen.

Although the jealousy in his heart was enough to make Aix kill Airen, this shameful man was indeed guilty of death, but if he really killed him, what would be the point except to vent his anger? That would also make Yamila suffer for the rest of her life, and make the two fatherless children hate him for the rest of their lives.

Aix still deeply loves Jamila. If he makes Jamila suffer from now on, he will feel bad. In his heart, Jamila is the white moonlight and the angel. Aix is ​​unwilling to do anything to hurt Jamila, but he is still unwilling in his heart, so he sighed and asked tentatively:

"Do you really love him, Yamila? Don't answer me first. You should know that there is a disease called Stockholm syndrome, which says that if a person is persecuted and oppressed for a long time, she will fall in love with the person who persecuted and oppressed her.

I know you are sincere to me, I have never doubted this. Now please tell me with your sincerity, is he really good to you, does he really love you and cherish you? "

Axel's words were full of hints and guidance. It was nothing more than the unwillingness in his heart that was still at work. He hoped to appeal to her emotions and reason, and finally to set the pace through language, and to win over the weak-willed Yamila once again.

After hearing what Aix said, Yamila looked at him with burning eyes, and Aix seemed to see again the Yamila he first met. There were charming stars twinkling in her eyes, and the years had not left many traces on her face, which made Aix infatuated.

However, the two of them looked at each other for only a few seconds. Yamila frowned at first, and seemed to remember something. Her eyes began to flicker, and she stammered:

"Aileen, he is really good to me, he has always respected me, we are very happy together, I can't live without him."

After saying that, Yamila turned her head to the side and never dared to look up at Axe's face again.

Yamila's words were like a basin of ice water, waking Aix from his trance. He knew that Yamila was completely beyond redemption. A complex emotion surged from the bottom of his heart, which was helplessness, sadness, loss, and regret. He felt as if he had aged a lot in an instant, and said coldly in a low and slightly hoarse voice:

"You know what Aileyon has done. It wouldn't be excessive for me to kill him eight or ten times."

Aix's words made Yamila unable to hold back. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of sadness and pleading. Aix couldn't bear to see her like this, so he quickly put his index finger on her red lips and said in a commanding tone:

"Listen to what I have to say. The only reason this damned beast can survive is because of you and only you. I can't bear to let you live in sorrow for the rest of your life. Is the secret passage built in the main castle still there?"

After getting Yamila's nod of confirmation, Aix continued:

"Tell Aileyon to take those who are willing to follow him and escape through the secret passage. He must not take more than a hundred people with him, and he must not take any civilians with him. Then get out of here as far as you can. I don't want to see him again in Calradia."

Aix's words made Yamila burst into tears of joy. She was so excited that she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Aix waving his hand:

"Go ahead, before I change my mind."

After saying that, he turned around, leaving a lonely back to Yamila. Seeing this, Yamila felt a blockage in her chest and her heart was shaking with pain. She couldn't help but hug Aix from behind, took a deep sniff, and cried:

"I'm sorry! Axe, I'm sorry!"

After saying this, Yamila turned around and left the tent without looking back.

After Yamila left, Axe stood there alone for a long time, until Viscount Nia, who was on duty at the Guard, walked into the tent to check. Then he seemed to remember something and asked Nia to call Count Desevi who came with the army.

Soon Desevi came to the big tent. After Aix dismissed his attendants and gave her detailed instructions, Desevi hurriedly left the tent. Then he selected a dozen capable men from his subordinates, left the camp and disappeared into the night.
