Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 526 - 36 The Princesses’ War

Facing Medea’s interrogation, Rasul admitted without any hesitation:

"Yes."

"How did you do it?" Medea asked immediately.

As long as the other party explained the method of manipulating Emperor Otto’s mind, then there was a high probability that Medea’s ritual task would be completed, and she would successfully grasp the Law of "Manipulation"!

However, although she could confirm that she had not been subject to mind reading, and there were no issues with her acting, Rasul seemed to see through her thoughts and cunningly smiled,

"Want to know? Let’s make a deal."

"What do you want?" Medea pondered and then tentatively asked, "Do you want me to convince Miel to accept your legacy?"

Miel’s complexion turned a bit unsightly, knowing full well the power of Medea’s brainwashing, but Rasul quickly denied it.

"No," he said with a smile, "I want you to form an alliance with Miel and the others in the future."

"An alliance?" Medea repeated as if to confirm.

"Yes, an alliance." Rasul pressed down on the golden apple on the counter.

In an instant, the surroundings dimmed. The four of them stood in a pitch-black, unlit room, yet they could eerily see each other’s faces clearly.

A shining line stretched rapidly from one end of the room to the endless opposite side as if there were no end in sight.

Soon, this line was magnified, and everyone could see that this "line" was actually composed of countless intertwined lines.

"Under the scrutiny of the Eden Fruit, the convergence of the future lines can now be confirmed." Rasul spoke while holding up the Eden Fruit in his right hand, pointing towards the future extended by these lines.

Then, the three girls’ vision was immediately bombarded with countless images, all depicting their future selves, what is known as prophecies.

Medea greedily read these images, trying hard to memorize them in her heart, but the instant each image flashed by, it was also completely forgotten from her mind.

"Those who do not wield the Fate Law, even if they read the future, cannot comprehend and remember it," Rasul leisurely said, and the flickering images disappeared once again, "But I can interpret a part of it for you in words."

"All the major conflicts within your team are centered on Aske. Although he has not yet let down his guard, he is indeed gradually integrating into this world from a passerby outside of fate."

"Until a certain point of convergence in the future, he will truly accept his fate. So, when faced with your love, what kind of choices will he make? Judging by the number of lines that diverge from the future, the probability that he ultimately chooses Nora is the highest."

"Why?" Medea asked with a darkened face, "Just because her family is wealthy?"

"Yes," Rasul admitted unexpectedly, "but it’s not because your Squad Leader is after rich over poor; rather, Nora can fully capitalize on her advantages and use various means to keep him tied to her side."

"So, this is why you want me to form an alliance with Miel? To confront Nora?" Medea sneered, "How can I be sure you’re not sowing discord with these heart-piercing words?"

"Because this isn’t about creating discord," Rasul still wore an indifferent smile, "it’s the truth."

"Admit it, you and Nora, you’re simply not on the same path."

Medea didn’t speak or rather, she couldn’t refute him at all.

"Nora and Eleanor, with their kind-hearted natures, believe in the existence of justice and are willing to stand up for the weak. Both hailing from Great Noble and wealthy industrial families, their superior upbringing has shaped their positive values—after all, it’s only in a perfect greenhouse that real idealists can be nurtured, right?"

Rasul said sarcastically while Medea narrowed her eyes slightly.

"But you, Camellia, you are different."

"Although you were born a Princess, you’ve endured hardship from a young age and have witnessed countless instances of cruelty and darkness. This has led you to believe that only interests are eternal and that what you want must be taken by any means necessary. From this perspective, only Sigrdrifa can understand you, as she too has struggled in the hell of blood and tears."

"Nora and Eleanor can’t understand your indifference, and you sneer at their naivety. You and they are like two sides of morality, like Devils and Angels born in opposing camps, destined to fight and drain each other’s blood upon meeting... In a sense, I also admire Aske, the guy who managed to keep you all in line in one team, suppressing all conflicts."

"So, Mr. Psychologist, according to your binary analysis, on which side will our remaining four companions stand?" Medea asked coldly.

"Theodora, the former Empress of the Empire," Rasul continued, "Her education from the proper Royal Family of the Empire has shaped her values close to those of Nora and Eleanor, but Theodora is different from them."

"After experiencing the fate of her nation’s destruction, she could no longer be an idealist. Despite harboring dreams of restoring her nation, she manages to analyze things around her objectively and rationally. However, whether from realistic considerations of interest or from a class stance, she will inevitably lean toward cooperating with Nora and the others."

"Not with you. It’s not about likes or dislikes; it’s just that your values aren’t enough."

"Go on," Medea said expressionlessly.

"Peggy, the Daughter of Chaos," Rasul also sneered, "No one can predict her thoughts because she only has eyes for Aske. But I’ll boldly predict here that she will choose to follow in Theodora’s footsteps."

"Because she fears me, and she fears Nora," Medea stated. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Correct, and she and Theodora are fellow countrywomen, after all," Rasul shrugged, "Theodora is aware of this and has thus been deliberately closing the gap between herself and Peggy, hoping Peggy would join her cause in the future, while you can’t prevent them from drawing closer to each other at all."

"Finally, there are Miel and Mia," Rasul looked at the two young girls, his smile becoming gentle again, "The similarity in ages has made you close friends, but it’s undeniable that among the four pairs, your duo is the weakest."

"So you want our duo to form an alliance with the duo of Medea and Sigrdrifa?" Miel asked gravely.

"Exactly, also because you should not be aligning with Nora and the others," Rasul said earnestly.

"Nora and Eleanor, their relationship is unbreakable. Theodora with Peggy in tow will get close to them, thereby forming a powerful iron triangle group."

"If you join them against Medea, with Nora’s character, she will surely accept you, but you will inevitably become marginalized within the group and will have absolutely no chance of winning in the upcoming war for Aske."

"Because our value isn’t enough, is that it?" Miel spoke with some distress, "Nora, Eleanor, Thira, they all have their families’ support, holding noble and superior statuses. Mia and I... we’re just commoners, alone in the world."

"That’s why you need the alliance," Rasul said gravely, "When the war of the Princesses erupts, the four of you must unite to form a force capable of confronting them. After securing the Squad Leader, how to divide the spoils will be an internal matter for you, but if you don’t unite and form an alliance, you won’t even have a say in the division, you’ll just be the first eliminated in the war with them!"

"And before that, Miel, Mia, you will need chips to form an alliance with Medea!" his voice suddenly became fervent, "Miel, you become the Anti-Christ, and Mia, you take over the Assassin Organization, quickly accumulating your own advantages, thereby making full preparations for the upcoming war!"
