Chapter 59 The Devil Sleeps in the Heart of the Young Man
Lewinsky grew up under the influence of her grandfather and other survivors of the Velden Massacre.
At that time, although the Kingdom of Grossenhain had an exclusionary mentality towards the Radeboyle people, it did not completely prohibit exchanges between the people of the two countries, and some Radeboyle people still entered the Kingdom of Grossenhain.
Once upon a time, a homeless child came to the village. At first, Lewinsky didn't pay much attention to him, but the talk of the villagers attracted Lewinsky.
The villagers said that the street boy had a distinct Radeboyle accent and must be from Radeboyle.
Soon, the homeless child disappeared.
Lewinsky's grandfather found his grandson holding a dagger, standing next to the lifeless homeless child, with an extremely cold expression.
This was the first time in Lewinsky's life that he took someone else's life into his own hands.
Lewinsky's grandfather was very excited. He did not think that Lewinsky was rebellious. He knew that this street kid was from Radeboyle. Lewinsky's grandfather hugged Lewinsky tightly and told him -
Well done my child.
Therefore, this is definitely not Lewinsky's last time.
Lewinsky's grandfather not only did not blame him, but also helped Lewinsky hide the body and evade the guards' pursuit. Since the missing person was just an outsider street kid, the guards closed the case after a hasty investigation.
Lewinsky was only ten years old that year.
Lewinsky's grandfather probably never dreamed that Lewinsky was by no means an ordinary person, but a true genius, especially in eloquence and action.
After Lewinsky's grandfather passed away, Lewinsky left the village and came to the capital to join the Royal Guard. His colleagues in the Royal Guard described Lewinsky as an ambitious young man who was very active in everything he did, and no one noticed the monster hidden in Lewinsky's heart.
Lewinsky was determined to change the country and took action. He accumulated a large number of followers by relying on his popularity in the Guards. When Lewinsky had a loyal group of followers, his eloquence was truly reflected.
Compared with Lewinsky's oratory ability, the diplomats of the Kingdom of Grossenhain were as naive as babbling children. The background of the Velden tragedy provided Lewinsky with the soil to fully display his power. In a nutshell, Lewinsky's strategy was to transfer all conflicts to the people of Radeboyle.
Why is your family not rich? Because you don't work? Because you don't pay attention to saving money?
No, that's not right, it's the Radeboyle people's fault.
Why don't you have enough to eat? Because no one takes you in? Because you don't know how to do your job?
No, that's not right, it's the Radeboyle people's fault.
Why can't your child go to school?
Why can't your family's illness be relieved?
Why is your farmland not producing as expected?
—It is the fault of the people of Radeboyle.
The strength of Lewinsky's eloquence was that he could convince every Grossenhain that the lack of bread and porridge on their tables was the fault of the people of Radeboyle.
Instead of looking for his own reasons or blaming the nobles for their oppression, he directed all his resentment onto the people of Radeboyle.
Most of these were accusations with no causal connection, but Lewinsky was able to connect the two and make people believe them.
Everyone firmly believed that life would be better without the Radeboyle, and that we /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ were only happy now because there were still Radeboylein the world.
By the time King Grossenhain realized the change in the wind in the capital, it was already too late. The guards led by Lewinsky responded to the call and easily placed the king under house arrest, and ordered the king to abdicate the throne to Lewinsky, the person who could lead the people of Grossenhain to happiness.
After Lewinsky became king, he began distributing pamphlets and holding parades and speeches. The flames of hatred against the Radeboyle spread from the capital of Grossenhain and spread throughout Grossenhain like a prairie fire.
It was not simply Lewinsky's eloquence that prompted all this. Famous battles such as the Velden massacre created the stage for Lewinsky to take advantage of the situation.
And Angelica finally understood why the Kingdom of Grossenhain had evolved into its current situation.
According to the terms of the deal, Angelica's exploration of Lewinsky's dreams was merely out of her personal interest.
After knowing the answer, Angelica kept silent and saved a lot of unnecessary trouble. Angelica and Abigail stayed in Grossenhain peacefully for a while, until the fifth day, when Lewinsky's subordinates cooperated with Angelica's investigation and finally got the result.
"Huh? You mean they went to Walsrode?"
Angelica's subtle reaction aroused Abigail's curiosity.
"What's wrong? Sister Angelica?"
Angelica had a complicated expression and did not give a reply. Lewinsky's subordinates obviously did not have the ability to read people's expressions well and gave the answer without thinking.
"Walsrode is famous for the St. Barbara Girls' Academy, which is a place that trains socialites in the area."
Strictly speaking, what Lewinsky's subordinates said was inaccurate. Although Walsrode was the location of the Santa Barbara Academy, the Santa Barbara Academy was actually much more famous than Walsrode.
Abigail, who came from a rural background, had heard a little about the St. Barbara Girls' Academy, but was not quite sure it was located in Walsrode, just like Angelica had first known Jerusalem in Area 3D and then knew where she came from.
"I don't feel like going..."
"We believe that the probability of the hero of the art settling in Walsrode is very high. I wish you smooth sailing in your research."
Lewinsky's subordinates, who lacked foresight, withdrew. In any case, at least they had obtained information about the descendants of the "Art" Hero. The contemporary "Art" Hero was most likely to appear in Walsrod.
Now that she had the key information, Angelica no longer needed to stay in the Kingdom of Grosenhain. She and Abigail came to the palace hall to bid farewell to King Lewinsky. At the same time, Angelica fulfilled her promise and presented the Sequence 1 magic ritual scroll to King Lewinsky.
"Yes. Your gift will be remembered by the kingdom, scholar."
"Thank you for your compliments, His Majesty. Before I leave, I have a question that I hope Your Majesty can answer."
"Your requests are annoying, but I allow you to ask questions."
"Your Majesty... seems like you have never communicated with the Radeboyle people?"
Angelica had seen Lewinsky's memories, from the time he attacked the homeless children of the Radeboyle people in their sleep, to his later joining the Guards, the conflict with the Radeboyle people, and even a scar on his face. Incredibly, Lewinsky had never had any communication with the Radeboyle people.
It was impossible for Angelica to go through Lewinsky's memory in detail, so she raised her doubts to Lewinsky and sought answers before leaving.
"Indeed. I never exchanged a word with the Radeboyle."
Lewinsky admitted the facts in a cold tone.
“But I hate them to the core.”
