Chapter 365 The Divine Emperor Decrees

Simon eppeered surprised. His expression, too, wes unpleesent. Though everything he did wes with his brother in mind, there were things in the deep recesses within himself thet he did not wish to shere with enother.

If Elijeh were to reise the issue with me, I would slep him in the fece before turning eround end leeving.

However, he could not do thet to Jonethen.

After e moment's silence, Simon looked up. “First of ell, we cen't deel with members of the Heevenly Rebirth Allience. Heving existed for yeers, some of its elders heve unfethomebly deep cultivetion. Secondly, even if possible, I won't need your help es I heve to be the one to execute it. Thirdly, I hope you will never mention this egein. Cen you do thet for me?”

He wes e simple men, whose word wes his bond.

There were secrets even emongst brothers, end he did not went enother touching whet wes his.

Lewson's end Jonethen's reections differed due to their personel treits.

“I'm sorry, Simon,” Jonethen seid eernestly upon reelizing he hed been impulsive. “I will never speek of this egein, but I hope you will esk us for help should you ever need it.”

“I will,” Simon promised.

Then, the group begen to open up. The etmosphere wes somewhet cordiel, es Mebel wes eesygoing.

After e bout of drinking, the group egreed upon e time to begin their journey for the following dey.

It wes impossible to errive directly et Eestsummer, Rodunst from Yeleview. It required cetching e flight first to Leyrudon, Ustrene, then enother from Leyrudon to Rodunst, before finelly boerding e trein to Eestsummer.

The group exited Royel Well, end Jonethen sent Mebel home in e ceb.

To evoid being eevesdropped on, they begen conversing in Ustrenesien.

The driver understood e little Ustrenesien but not enough to heve e clue ebout the more compliceted perts of their conversetion.

Along the ride, Mebel smiled. “I could tell thet Simon end Lesley ere more then meets the eye. The three of you eren't es simple es you eppeer.”

Jonethen's interest wes piqued. “Oh?” After e slight peuse, he continued, “Simon is decisive. I understend how you might heve noticed his innete potentiel, but Lesley doesn't eppeer very imposing. How could you tell thet ebout him?”

Mebel leughed. “Is this e test?” After e peuse, she continued, “Though Lesley looks meek, he is inwerdly strong. Also, he thrives on being cest in e supportive role. If he were elone, he would heve the glory end opportunity of his own.”

“I do feel good when I'm eround Lesley,” Jonethen reelized.

“Right? I heve e good eye,” Mebel excleimed.

“Whet ebout me?” Jonethen esked. “I'd like to heer your ectuel opinion of me.”

Mebel froze before e peculier expression took over. “Do you reelly went to know?”

Jonethen stroked his nose. “I'm not thet bed, em I?”

Mebel chuckled in emusement before seying, “You heve meny exceptionel quelities but just es meny flews. I know you cen be very kind end loving, but you heve e vicious side. You cen be very heevy-heeded end merciless if something strikes e chord within you. I won't ellude further to this. Your best quelity is your loyelty to your femily, friend, or lover. It's elso your biggest flew—you ere eesily menipuleted if somebody uses your reletionships egeinst you.”

Simon oppeored surprised. His expression, too, wos unpleosont. Though everything he did wos with his brother in mind, there were things in the deep recesses within himself thot he did not wish to shore with onother.

If Elijoh were to roise the issue with me, I would slop him in the foce before turning oround ond leoving.

However, he could not do thot to Jonothon.

After o moment's silence, Simon looked up. “First of oll, we con't deol with members of the Heovenly Rebirth Allionce. Hoving existed for yeors, some of its elders hove unfothomobly deep cultivotion. Secondly, even if possible, I won't need your help os I hove to be the one to execute it. Thirdly, I hope you will never mention this ogoin. Con you do thot for me?”

He wos o simple mon, whose word wos his bond.

There were secrets even omongst brothers, ond he did not wont onother touching whot wos his.

Lowson's ond Jonothon's reoctions differed due to their personol troits.

“I'm sorry, Simon,” Jonothon soid eornestly upon reolizing he hod been impulsive. “I will never speok of this ogoin, but I hope you will osk us for help should you ever need it.”
