"You have blood relatives, so you can better understand the pain of losing my family."

Tarod may not have wanted to bring up this topic at first. The death of his elder brother was indeed a very painful thing for him. He found it hard to accept and could only wait for time to heal his wounds little by little.

Helia, the murderer, should never have mentioned this matter in front of him.

"You can't force a man who deserves to die to live in this world, and at the cost of losing his humanity," Helia said. "He would rather die than become a man-eating beast."

"He asked me to kill him, and I am one of the few people who have the ability to kill him."

There was a long silence.

But Helia had her answer.

"You came to me because you have something that requires my help. Otherwise, there is no reason for you to come to me, the murderer of your own family," she continued.

"It's been so long, and you've been silent. If you just wanted to take revenge, you had plenty of opportunities before. There's no reason to wait until now."

"And the means of retaliation are minor compared to before."

"You got involved in the struggle between the nobles and the royal family just to meet with me. You have something to ask for, and it's something important."

"I mentioned your brother to try to anger you, but although you were angry, you never took action."

"You are a person who is willing to sacrifice for a greater good. This shows that before the hatred of kinslaying, there are more important things that need me. You can't kill me."

"So, what happened?"

She was very perceptive, but the way she tried to find out his true intentions really made him unhappy and even angry.

But... my eldest brother has always hoped that the empire would be ruled stably and people would live a happy and ordinary life. Under Claude's rule, this beautiful dream has already taken shape.

Although his eldest brother is dead, he has to live on to inherit his elder brother's will and witness the realization of his ideal world.

And Helia is the key link in achieving that long-term goal.

"He lost control," Tarod said. "He devoured all his followers and turned into an indescribable monster. With overwhelming rage, he is determined to make us pay the price."

Helia was stunned, and her expression became serious. "Does Euros know about this? Where is he now?"

Tarod's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he asked tentatively: "Everything has a price. Your Highness Helia, you are not completely unaware of the price you paid for destroying the tower, are you?"

Helia narrowed her eyes slightly. "You mean, Euros paid the price for me? He was seriously injured?"

But when they met at the Dulu Orphanage, Helia didn't notice anything unusual.

Tarod knew that his younger brother had indeed hidden the secret and had not told Helia.

"God Ornn was born because of you, and he was destroyed because of you. Even though he is just a symbolic god, the faith he carries is real."

"How can it be so easy to abandon these beliefs and erase all traces of a god's existence?"

He exhaled heavily, returned to the topic and continued, "My younger brother was seriously injured, so he left the believers and the sleeping master to me, and I returned to the Tanasa family to recuperate."

"He made a deal with you. Admiral Hilda turned a blind eye and let us go. I took the remaining forces and moved to another place to rest and recuperate."

"It's just that after you met the Lord that time, He knew our plan. He is not someone who can be slaughtered at will. He can endure the pain of being torn apart and put together again and again and become a god. He is definitely not something you can predict."

"After I left, the restraints suddenly loosened. He found the right opportunity, broke the seal, and woke up from his deep sleep."

"I tried to seal it again, but it seemed to have fallen into madness again. It forcibly devoured the flesh and souls of other believers, broke free from my restraints, and turned into a monster."

"I couldn't fight back, so I had to run away."

He paused, looking at Helia with sharp eyes, "Helia, I need you to help me subdue Him."

"If we let Him escape, it would be a horrific disaster, something neither you nor I want to see."

Osinoto actually woke up and turned into a monster? !

Helia took a while to digest the news. Her head, which had not rested for several days, was aching, silently protesting against its owner's excessive use of it.

"You just left Him somewhere out of control?"

After asking Helia, she realized that she was confused. It was impossible for Tarod to allow a mad god to wreak havoc on the world. He must have suppressed it temporarily, and Helia just needed to do the work of cutting the weeds and eradicating them completely.

"I was with Euros some time ago. Didn't you tell Him about this?"

Tarod's expression became strange again. He simply could not understand Euros's actions. It was as if he had been bewitched by the fairy Helia. He would do anything for her and was willing to do anything. It was really hard to understand.

What on earth did Helia do to Him?

"I looked for Him, but couldn't get in touch with Him. I had no choice but to come to you." Tarod got angry when he thought of this.

Why did Helia just wave her hand and Eurus went away panting like a dog?

I looked for him myself, but there was no reply at all, it was like he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

What? Women are treasures in the palm of your hand, but brothers are grass at your feet, and you can step on them at will?

"Where is He?" Helia asked again.

Tarod: "Shelleri, a mountain town near the North. I trapped Him in the snowy mountains and buried Him in the snow."

Helia: "Then call Euros, we'll set off now, the sooner we resolve it the sooner we can feel at ease."

She is a person of action, and the empire is already in turmoil. If Osinoto is released, there will be too many uncontrollable factors. If she can't control herself, many people will die.

Tarod: ...

That's too fast.

"Helia, the last time you faced Him, you nearly died."

"Are you sure that you have the ability to defeat Him this time?"

"He who is out of control will definitely not show mercy, and will not listen to your nonsense."

It seems that he also knows that Helia likes to talk big and fool the enemy.

Helia paused for a moment before responding, "As long as you can hold off for a minute and give me a chance to get close to Him, I can guarantee that I will kill Him."

For a moment, Tarod couldn't tell whether it was Helia's confidence or the confidence of the God of War.

"If you are so confident, then set off tonight and let me go back to make some preparations."

Helia: "Wait."

"I have to make sure my brother is awake first, otherwise I can't leave."

Tarod: "Latifa is one of the best healing magicians, specializing in the sea of consciousness and the soul."

"You can rest assured that she will take action."

"Besides, the fundamental reason why Eric is trapped in the nightmare and unable to break free is because of you."

"It's you. You make up all his dreams. It's you in his good dreams and it's you in his nightmares. It's you in his dreams and it's you outside his dreams."

Helia frowned, and at that moment she suddenly realized how important she was to Eric.

In other words, how important the original owner is to Eric.

Although she had been in this shell for nearly three years and had regarded everything here as her own life, she still treated Eric from the perspective of a bystander.

There was no way, there was really no friendship between her and him.

All the choices she made because of him were based on the so-called original owner's memories and the plot of that story. She inherited everything from the original owner and naturally had to shoulder the responsibilities involved.

But feelings are not something that can be inherited, so she can only refer to the original owner's memory to answer this question.

Only when she stood in the perspective of God would she feel that the relationship between the brother and sister was really strange, and that Eric was kidnapping the original owner in the name of love.

But, can love be obtained by being too calculative?

Perhaps in a corner that she didn't see, Eric had also made many sacrifices for Helia without asking for anything in return. Just because she didn't know about it didn't mean it didn't happen.

She is standing in the third-person perspective, and will calculate who has given more and who has given less between the two of them. She is acting as a calculator coldly and ruthlessly, and calculating feelings as if they were a transaction.

Moreover, because she replaced Helia's body, she stood with the original owner, just like the original owner's best friend, always standing on her friend's side, always thinking that the original owner was right, and blaming all the mistakes on others.

She always thought about the unrewarded sacrifices made by the original owner, but ignored Eric's efforts. This was unfair.

And feelings can never be explained by just one word: fairness.

Before she came here, her family was indifferent, her friendships were almost non-existent, and there was no love, so she didn't understand emotions, let alone the purpose of those who loved each other to death all day long.

In a sense, she may be an emotionally cold person.

If we put ourselves in Eric's perspective, his blood relative was replaced by a stranger, who was living by his side in a fake way. Regardless of whether Helia was a threat to him, the fact that she replaced the original owner was equivalent to his sister leaving him forever. How could he accept the fact that his sister was no different from being dead?

Think about it carefully. If your closest relative or friend was possessed by someone else, and she pretended to be familiar with you and did things that she would never do, she walked around in public with no guilt at all, and even took it for granted, how could you not be angry?

Perhaps, she also owed Eric an apology.

Ariana was not seriously injured, so Helia left her in the care of Idrija and went to the Tanzanian Palace. She had to keep an eye on Archbishop Latifa in person to prevent these dishonest guys from doing anything secretly.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Elroy and Archbishop Latifa chatting happily. When they heard the door open, they both turned around to look.

Her gaze moved between the two men's similar white hair and purple eyes. The next moment, she subconsciously wanted to close the door and leave, like a child who had caught her elders discussing important matters.

But she remembered that she came to see Eric and had to go in. Her head, which was swollen due to lack of rest, stopped turning at this moment, and she stood there as if she was punished.

Helia: I am dazed...

"Hello, Princess Helia." Latifa greeted politely, bringing Helia back to her senses.

"Uh... Her Excellency Latifa, hello too." Helia finally regained her senses, stepped into the house, and closed the door.

Seeing Helia looking around in confusion, Elroy took the initiative to explain, "Latifa and I were good friends. We haven't seen each other for many years. It's thanks to you, little princess, that we now have the opportunity to reminisce."

Helia: Oh, so you are good friends. I thought you were relatives. You look quite similar.

She nodded slightly to show that she understood, then looked at the bed, "How is my brother?"

Latifa: "His Highness Eric is haunted by a nightmare. His consciousness is unstable, and there are external factors interfering. This is why the situation has become more difficult."

"But don't worry, I'll be able to solve it quickly once I make a move."

After saying that, she gave Helia a wink.

Unlike the cardinal who always had a hypocritical smile, Latifa's young face made her smile look more sincere because of the longevity of the elves.

And when she speaks, she is as playful and lively as a little girl, with her ending tone always rising.
