Chapter 631 Apology
Elizabeth stood out to stop Lu Yu at a critical moment.
At this point, Walter had finished unfurling his teleportation scroll, and the light from the scroll enveloped him.
He vanished from the scene the next moment!
Lu Yu let out a long sigh when he saw this. “This is the last time,” he said to Elizabeth. “If there is a next time, I will deal with you too!”
When Elizabeth heard this, she trembled and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry. Even though he is now your mortal enemy, I believe he will change his mind. He does not deserve to die.”
“Moreover, if you kill him, the Lionheart Empire will not take it lightly. There will be a huge conflict between us once that happens!”
Lu Yu nodded in response to Elizabeth’s words. “That is true; what you say makes sense. It’s just that you have no idea what the Truth Department will do next!”
Elizabeth was taken aback. She shook her head after a brief moment. “I’m not sure what the Truth Department does, but I heard they concocted some potions that enchanted people’s strength to convince them to join the Truth Department.”
“Basically, it’s just an evil organization.”
Lu Yu shook his head helplessly as he heard this.
“You don’t know the half of it. Now…”
For a brief moment, Lu Yu pondered whether he should reveal the true goal of the Truth Department.
After all, this information had previously been known only to the Freedom Federation. He had no idea what impact it would have if it were leaked.
“Let us discuss this elsewhere. You will have to know of the Truth Department’s goals sooner or later anyway. I’ll kill Walter, and I don’t want you to stop it again!”
It was not a good idea for Lu Yu to make a move on Elizabeth because of her identity. However, when the time came, he would act without hesitation. After all, it was about the safety of the entire world!
Elizabeth gave Lu Yu a blank look and nodded. “Let’s go into my villa.”
Elizabeth turned around and walked away, with Lu Yu close behind.
The Death Spirit Dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky from the castle.
No one could stop the Death Spirit Dragon from fleeing, and they could only watch in disbelief as it flew away.
Lu Yu walked into Elizabeth’s living room as her guards were constantly on the lookout for her safety.
Lu Yu and Elizabeth sat on the sofa in the living room. They were the only people in the villa, so their conversation stayed private.
“I didn’t make it clear before, but now I’ll tell you the Truth Department’s true purpose and what they’ll do next.”
Elizabeth rested her chin on her hand and firmly looked at Lu Yu. “Tell me, and I’ll pay close attention…”
“The Truth Department is assisting an ancient empire in its recovery. The first thing this empire will do after regaining its strength is to conquer our world.”
Elizabeth was stunned, unable to come to her senses as a result of this simple sentence.
“A resurrected… empire? Taking over our planet? Do you mean they want to destabilize our world’s order?”
“Yes, this is the very least they will do. I’m afraid that once they take over the world, they’ll slaughter many more people, especially those in positions of power like you.”
Elizabeth’s body shook, and a shiver ran down her spine.
“You want to go up against them, against an empire…”
“That’s correct—the Ember Empire. The so-called bosses we met in these ancient ruins who had been sleeping for a long time were higher-ups from this empire. They are weak in the early stages of their awakening, but with time, they will return to their peak condition.”
“For example, the Clain Crystal was named after a lord of the empire.”
Elizabeth’s eyes remained wide open, unable to calm down.
“This news is too much for me to bear…”
Her breathing quickened, and she got anxious. Even though the villa was heated warmly, she still felt a cold chill.
“Will this world be destroyed?”
“Whether it’s destroyed or not still depends on us.” Lu Yu paused momentarily before slowly replying.
“This world will remain ours if we can fend off the Ember Empire’s attack. If we can’t, we’ll have to accept our crushing defeat.”
“In other words, my brother joined the Truth Department to assist them—to assist the Ember Empire in controlling our world?”
Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “If their plan is successful, he will be rewarded based on his merits. He will have no trouble taking over a continent and declaring himself king.”
“He… He probably didn’t know much and was duped by them…” Elizabeth shook her head, refusing to believe the facts.
Lu Yu gave a weak smile. “He has long been a member of the Truth Department, judging by the fact he can get hold of a battle pet like the Death Spirit Dragon. As proof of his loyalty, he attacked my stronghold and declared himself my mortal enemy!”
Elizabeth raised her head and stared at Lu Yu, tears streaming from her eyes.
“Did… Did I make a mistake?”
“I should assist you in killing him for the sake of the world, my country, and my family, but…”
Elizabeth began sobbing, unable to say anything more.
“I’ve already informed you of the truth. So, I hope you understand the next time we encounter a situation like this. Regardless, we will cut off all relationships between the two of us from now on…”
She lowered her head, her emotions jumbled.
On one side was her favorite brother, and on the other was the entire world…
She slid down the sofa, her knees striking the ground with a thud. She knelt before Lu Yu, and her head bowed as if she had made a mistake.
Lu Yu’s mind went blank when he saw this!
Elizabeth was the Lionheart Empire’s princess! She was revered by thousands of people and held an incomparably noble position. Others had always kneeled before her, and there was never a situation where she had to kneel before others.
Elizabeth knelt in front of Lu Yu today, making Lu Yu’s heart race.
Elizabeth lowered her head and sobbed quietly, like a child awaiting punishment.
“I’ve already made my decision. Since my brother has joined the Truth Department, I’ll have nothing to do with him from now on!”
Elizabeth stated firmly.
She jerked her head up. Her blue eyes got misty because she was crying. Lu Yu’s heart softened as she looked at him with a pitiful expression.
He squatted and assisted her in getting up.
“What are you doing? You are a princess!”
“I was wrong,” Elizabeth confessed.
“Can we still be friends?” she asked, raising her head and looking at Lu Yu.
