Team villains except me

Chapter 521 Backhand

Persilla looked at Loretta, who was dressed as Gidi, in surprise and confusion. She soon understood what had happened.

She lowered her weapon and sighed weakly.

"Loretta, you..."

"Musa said you won't live past this month. Why? You look healthy. I don't like you, but Persila, I beg you, don't die.

Musa bought a house in Remiaz, and I can't go there. If you're gone, Musa will have nothing. Isn't she your daughter? I beg you to be kind and treat her well!

"It's too late."

"It's never too late, Persila. Seeing Musa in so much pain, doesn't your heart break? She loves you so much, which means she has felt the same love. You once loved her that way. Why did you lie to her and let her come back? Why didn't you see her after she came back?

Is it because of me? Because she gave birth to me, so you are disappointed in her. But now Loretta is dead, Persila, please forgive me, forgive Musa, at least... at least clear up the misunderstanding..."

Loretta had had enough. She hadn't taken death seriously before, she had the courage to sacrifice her life for her family, and now she felt death was heavy.

It turned out not to be very serious, but it was very painful.

She hated the cruel fate and irreversible death, and she hated all misunderstandings and unresolved knots in her heart.

"You didn't give anyone a chance to get close to you, Persila. Do you really think that if you died quietly, Musa would be free? She wouldn't. She would always insist on getting a definite answer. Her future would be trapped by you, forever. She would never be able to leave Lanier."

Loretta looked at Persilla fiercely, as if only in this way could she make Persilla understand her unhappiness.

Percilla looked at Loretta calmly as she sat down and took off the black veil she was wearing.

Persila was middle-aged. She had been young when she gave birth to Musa, but now she looked old. She had not treated Musa well, and she had not treated herself well either.

"Musa can't leave Lanier. Is it because of me or because of you?"

These words hit Loretta's head like a hammer.

Her head was buzzing.

She couldn't refute it. She couldn't refute it.

She wanted to say something unpleasant, but when she saw Persila, she saw the old Musa.

The dying, indifferent Musa.

"...Are you really going to die?"

"meeting."

Percilla patted the spot next to her.

"Come, sit with me for a while. In fact, I have been observing you and protecting you. Your personality is completely different from Musa's. You are more like me, who you want to protect, but in the end you will understand that the closer you are to so-called happiness, the more unfortunate you will be."

Loretta hesitated for a moment, and finally, unhappily, she sat next to Percilla, turning sideways to avoid her.

Loretta felt that Percilla was wrong.

"But you can change, you can make Musa happy, but you don't do it. If there is a misunderstanding, then clarify it. Do you want to leave with regrets?

It would be nice if you could pretend you didn't love Musa. Then she would give up. But you didn't do that, and your behavior is strange."

“I’m just cutting my losses.”

"Do not."

Loretta sensed something.

She turned and looked up at Percilla.

"No. You're punishing yourself."

Persilla raised an eyebrow.

"You're very perceptive."

"But this is stupid. Musa will always forgive you. You are wasting yourself meaninglessly."

"Loretta, nothing is so pure in this world. Right and wrong are sometimes unimportant. There was no misunderstanding between Musa and me. It was me who made her return to Lanier. Whatever the reason, I did surrender.

I know exactly how lost I felt when Musa lost contact with me and stopped thanking me. I felt... quite lost. Musa and I had the same talent, but I didn't have an eagle to support me. My mother married me off young, and my family offered no support. My husband died before Musa was born.

I loved Musa because she was like me, everything about her was like me. I was willing to give everything for her, knowing she had a future different from mine. I broke the law and sent Musa away from Lanier. At that time, I felt that even if Musa didn't achieve anything outside, it didn't matter; as long as she was alive, I would be at peace.

At first, Musa kept in touch with me. Later, she flew very high and could no longer see me. For a long time, I didn't know what had become of Musa. The next time I saw her, it was through the communicator the king had sent me. He showed me what she was doing and told me she no longer needed me.

In the communicator, Musa said I was a burden, a typical Lanier female eagle, she would not thank me, she forgot me, she didn't remember how I -"

"You know that's not something Musa would say, right?"

Loretta interrupted Percilla.

She is very serious.

"Persila, the king can forge these. Outside of Lanier, there are many magical spells that can mislead you and affect your emotions."

"I know. Loretta, this is what I'm trying to say—I was pushed endlessly, I watched those images over and over again, without being allowed to rest, for so long I can't even remember how long it was.

Why should I, as a mother, suffer such cruelty? What did I do wrong? Where was my daughter when I was persecuted?

In the picture, she said I was a useless mother.

I know that's not her, but I really can't hold on any longer. I don't know who I am. I'm being belittled, controlled, and losing my self-esteem... Loretta, it's much easier to believe that it's true than to insist that it's not Musa."

Loretta grasped the hem of her dress and then slowly let go.

She couldn't blame Persila. She knew the disastrous consequences of defying the king. She knew Persila's life was no different from any of Rainier's other female eagles. It was too easy for the king to destroy a female eagle.

Persilla had no ability to resist. The identity of "mother" brought responsibility, not magic. Becoming a mother did not make her invulnerable, nor did it mean she would be exceptionally brave, nor did it mean she could withstand the combined power of an entire nation.

Lanier's standards for "motherhood" were too high. So high that even the Beast God would be somewhat inferior, so high that it made all female eagles feel that giving everything for their children was the most reasonable law, so high that it made Patriati seem so sacred.

Loretta hoped that her mother was not a qualified mother to Lanier. She did not want Musa to be trapped by Lanier, so at this moment, she did not think that Persila had done anything wrong.

She turned her head and moved a little closer to Percy.

"I don't think this is betrayal. If you compromise for her own sake, Musa will also think you did the right thing. If you insist on persisting to the end, the king will be so angry that he will really kill you. Persila, why didn't you tell Musa? You have suffered a lot, and you were forced into it."

"It's meaningless. We should look forward. No matter how we argue about the past, it's useless. Let Musa know everything, let Musa understand what her inability to contact her has caused. I will gain Musa's guilt, and we will repair our relationship. Then what? Let the king control Musa to death, and let Musa lose the future she could still fight for because of my mistake?"

Persilla had a smile on her face.

That smile made Loretta want to cry. She pursed her lips and took Percilla's skinny hand.

"You...you can talk to Musa secretly, just like now."

"The king was always watching me. He knew that as long as I was alive, Musa would be under his control. He barely cared about Musa, but he kept a close eye on me. I had no chance, and I didn't want to say anything.

I thought Musa would understand after doing this. But she was too dependent on me, so she still didn't understand, or rather, she refused to understand. I had made it so obvious, but she still refused to give up. She accepted many conditions - she even got married, just to talk to me.

I was furious. I'd given so much, and yet she'd let herself go. Was I really that important to her? If so, what was she doing when I was dying?

Actually, I shouldn't blame her. I taught her to be this way. I knew her path wasn't smooth, so I tried my best to make her worry-free as a child. In her heart, I was almost an omnipotent mother. But I know I wasn't.

"But you can see me now."

"That's because I'm dying. I'm becoming worthless, Loretta."

"Then can't you talk about the past with Musa now?"

"I'm going to die soon. Loretta, it's all right now. Musa blames me so she won't be too sad when I'm gone. It's too late now."

Loretta pursed her lips tightly. She felt—she felt that this shouldn't be the case. But Percilla was stubborn, as stubborn as Musa's.

She could tell this to Musa.

She thought, maybe she could...

"Loretta, Musa knows everything you know. Even if I don't tell her, she will find out on her own.

Loretta, you love Musa, don't make her more sad. Now is a critical period for Lanier, and any change could be fatal. That's why I'm willing to talk to you. I know you will make the right decision.

Persilla put on her black veil again.

"Next, you will limp out. I will tell the king that I taught you not to kill people carelessly."

Loretta said nothing because she hadn't made up her mind yet.

There was one thing she didn't understand.

Persila seemed to still love Musa, and she loved Musa too, but Musa did not receive this love. Among the three of them, no female eagle was happy.

Loretta looked up at Percilla.

"Why do you say this is a critical period for Lanier?"

Persilla adjusted her veil on her face and smiled softly.

"The king can send his subordinates to monitor me, and I can also judge what happened to Lanier by the status of his subordinates. Loretta, if I have the opportunity, I will also achieve something."

"Aren't you now?"

“You go to school too, and you know that the textbook says that Musa has a stupid and short-sighted mother.

Loretta, if I were braver, if I knew I could be like those eagles, Patriati would be just a little hill to me. It wouldn't be the mountain I want to climb in my life.

Persilla's tone was flat.

Loretta said nothing. She had often felt lately that words were inadequate.

She and Percilla left the room one after the other, and Loretta performed as Percilla said.

It was getting dark very quickly.

The autumn wind blew up Persilla's veil like a broken flag.

Loretta turned around and could only see Percilla's back.

Small, staggering.

Loretta returned to Giddy's residence and walked up to Yalinxiu with unprecedented determination.

"...I need a plan."

-

"I need you to explain whether you were involved in this."

Julia's voice was cold. As she was scrutinized by her, Norvia felt the oppression coming from her.

very horrible.

But Nolvia raised her head and remained calm.

"I do not know anything."

She didn't lie.

She really didn't know that Valerio would let her and Suha share the power of the chairman.

When she received the message from Julia and Suha, she had some guesses. Teacher Valerio had not replied to her message for a long time, and even Suha didn't know what Valerio was doing.

But Norvia knew Valerio's abilities, and she knew Valerio wouldn't just disappear. He must have a backup plan.

But she didn't expect Valerio to leave two letters.

If he did not return to Abersgard on time, the two letters would automatically be sent to Julia and Suha.

The contents of the two letters differ somewhat, but they both clearly point out two points.

First, the "New World" members at Abersig must be formally hired to become Abersig's management.

Second, Nolvaya Leli will serve as his assistant and work with the acting chairman Suha to handle matters that originally belonged to him.

Julia thinks Valerio is willful, and she also thinks that Nolvia Leli may have known about the existence of the letter for a long time.

Norvia:......

If she had known, she wouldn't have been so passive. She also felt that Valerio was willful. She didn't want to be involved in the family affairs between the two powerful people in Abersgar.

She felt that what was more important than the letter was the whereabouts of Teacher Valerio himself.

Valerio must have known how dangerous the place he was going to was, so he made arrangements in advance.

She had no idea about the position of chairman yet. She had more important things to do, and delegating power at this time would only bring her trouble.

Julia looked at her with indifference.

"Laili, I will place Valerio's teammates. However, I think you should also know that there has never been a precedent for a student serving as the chairman of the board."

Nolvia smiled. She displayed absolute humility.

"Dean Julia, I feel the same way. Now, I'd rather be your assistant. I'm very satisfied with this position."
