Inventor of another world, the little female ghost wants to kidnap me

Chapter 357 Brothers break up

After Avervanxon left, Cross was the only one left in the dim room.

He sat at the desk where he used to handle official business, wiping his teacup over and over again, without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He didn't even notice that Nobo had come to him.

Nobo called out softly four or five times before bringing Cross back to reality.

"Your Highness, have the guests left?"

Cross was stunned for a moment, "Yeah, yes, he has left. What's wrong, Mr. Noble?"

Nobo knew that Cross was doing something big that he didn't want others to know about, so he didn't ask too many questions.

"The Archbishop has issued an order declaring war on the northern nations."

Cross's hand movements suddenly stopped.

"Is he crazy?"

Nor could Nobo understand Michelle’s decision, “If this war really breaks out, even if we can win, some soldiers will have to pay with their lives.

Fortunately, Count Secco is our man, and control of the Kingdom's Knights is still in our hands.

Your Highness, do you want to stop this war?"

Cross was also very clear about this matter, “If that’s the case, then there’s no need to hide it any longer.

Tell Count Secco to lead all the soldiers back to the country, demolish all the temples in our kingdom, release all the saints of the long-eared tribe, and bring all the priests back to the capital.

The day the army returns to the capital will be the day we officially go to war with the church."

Hearing this order, Nobo became alert.

He said with excitement: "Finally, this day has come. The independence of the Kingdom of Veratis is finally coming!"

After being controlled by the church for so many years, Vilatis has become rotten to the core.

Eighty percent of the country's tax revenue goes into the pocket of the church.

The kings of all dynasties were puppets of the archbishop and played no role in government affairs.

While other kingdoms were still envious of the high-level medical care in the temple, most of the ordinary doctors in Veratis were "wiped out" by the church.

Ordinary people who cannot afford the high medical expenses can only seek help from adventurers or go to other countries.

It is called a holy kingdom, but in fact it is a kingdom of slavery.

Cross made this decision, undoubtedly preparing to reveal his identity while Miss was away.

He wanted to take this opportunity to confess to Tartarus and Michelle, and force Tartarus to take over his body.

"Your Highness, should I go and explain to His Highness Cassius now?"

After Nobo's reminder, Cross remembered that there was still one thing he had not done.

"That's fine... Wait, wait, Mr. Noble, otherwise... don't tell him yet."

Nobo was about to step out of the room when Cross called him.

"Your Highness, if this matter is not explained in time, His Highness Cassius may overreact."

Cross tightly grasped the clean and transparent teacup. "Take away all his equipment. Don't leave even a single sword. Use magic to control his range of movement. Don't let him leave."

Nobo frowned and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He chose to trust Cross, just like he always did.

"Since it is your highness' order, I will do it."

Afterwards, Cross and Noble went to the room where Cassius was imprisoned.

Cassius, who had just woken up, was sitting in the corner of the room, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and his whole body was shaking.

The bandages that had been applied previously were scattered all over the floor, stained with some blood.

He held his head and cried silently.

Tears flowed down his arms and into his wounds, stimulating his sense of pain.

"why..."

"It's all my fault. I'm so useless..."

"Sister, it was my brother who failed to save you and protect you..."

With a bang, the door was opened.

Cassius slowly raised his head and looked at the door with his already red and swollen eyes.

In the darkness of the night, Cross walked in.

Seeing the person coming, Cassius clenched his fists and rushed over.

"asshole!"

Unfortunately, he was unarmed and was blocked by a transparent magic barrier.

"Give me back my sister, you damn bastard!"

Cassius pounded the magic barrier desperately, wishing his fist could go through the barrier and hit Cross directly in the face.

Cross said nothing, just stood there, watching his brother go crazy and listening to the cruel curses.

Every time Cassius threw a punch, blood splattered.

Until he was hoarse and could no longer utter a single word.

Until he slowly collapsed to the ground, sobbing.

Cross remained expressionless, his eyes revealing indifference.

"Is this what you are capable of?"

"Is this your limit?"

"No one can protect you like this. You can only watch your relatives and friends die one by one."

Cassius curled up on the ground, buried his head in his arms, and kept repeating in a hoarse voice, "Kill you, kill you."

Cross raised his hand to remove the magic barrier, then bent down and picked up his brother.

"look at me."

"Turn your head around."

"I told you to look into my eyes!"

He controlled Cassius to look at him, revealing a murderous look.

"How can you kill me if you can't even look at me?"

"Do you still have the courage to draw your sword against me?"

"Where did the momentum go?"

Cassius was like a deflated ball, his whole body was limp and his voice was light and fluttery.

"Why did you keep me here? Why don't you just kill me too..."

After his previous sword attack was interrupted by Michelle, he no longer had the courage to attack Cross with the sword again.

Seeing that Cassius was still avoiding his gaze, Cross threw him to the ground.

"No one can kill you in your current state, and no one can save you. Just wait for Miss to collect your body."

Hearing the word "Miss", Cassius raised his head sharply, "You killed my sister, and now you want to attack my friend?"

Cross didn't look back, leaving only his back to Cassius.

"Not only Miss, I will kill everyone who has anything to do with you, not a single one will be left alive."

Cassius was enveloped by anger, "Cross, are you a devil? Do you have to do this to me?!"

He rushed towards the figure with all his might, but was blocked by the magic barrier again.

"Kill you, I will definitely kill you before you attack my friends!"

"From today on, you are no longer my brother. We are enemies."

"Till death!"

Without looking back, Cross left the room.

"You'd better remember what you said now, remember this anger, I'm waiting for you to kill me."
