Atlantis.

Ellie walked into the glorious temple with her legs raised. The walls were full of murals depicting the history of the Atlanteans. The most important of them was that they united with Poseidon to fight against various races and sealed the evil gods, and their bravery over the years.

The story of the earth versus the sea people.

There is also a statue of Poseidon standing in the center of the temple, but that is not the true face of the god they worship, it is just the appearance she uses to communicate with humans like them, and no statue can perfectly represent her.

What it really looks like—the ocean itself.

Today is the day they liberate the ancient artifact. Back then, the royal family of Atlantis requested weapons of their own from Poseidon, and Poseidon responded to their request and forged powerful weapons that only the royal family could use.

Moreover, this artifact can only be used with the consent of all the royal family except the Wise King. The purpose of its existence is to restrain the three Wise Kings. However, Ellie feels that the purpose of Poseidon has not been achieved in fact, because these conditions are in the complex human nature.

It can be said that there are many mistakes and omissions in front of me.

Maybe Poseidon didn't care about them that much, otherwise how could she not be aware of her betrayal.

Betrayal, this is how she defines herself now.

The situation changed faster and more complicated than she expected. Atlantis's original "evil" plan was temporarily shelved. They and the Federation reached new terms through a deal, and they will rely on three duels to determine the affairs of the Sea Tribe.

.

At this point, she actually no longer has any suitable reason to continue to fight against their "evil plan", because if Atlantis can win against the mainland, it will not be a bad thing for the world and Atlantis.

And if they lose, then there is nothing they can do to stop them.

So now she has become a complete traitor.

When she learned the news, Ellie actually thought about whether to stop here. The mysterious monitor didn't seem to care much about it, and there would be no cost for her to stop now.

As long as she stops, she can return to a normal and better life than most people.

And then slowly waited for his father to rot in prison.

And after tossing and turning for a few nights, the answer in her heart became increasingly clear.

No, she doesn't want to accept such a result, even at such a price...

Ellie finally realized that she was actually a selfish bastard. Her worries about the world in the past were probably just an excuse for her to cover up her feelings for her father, a disguise she used to satisfy and deceive herself.

Only when faced with a real choice did she have the courage to face her own heart.

She is just a bad person.

And today is her best opportunity to do evil.

"Ellie, you are finally here." A young man of similar age walked out of the temple. He looked at Ellie with a cautious look, "They are all waiting for you inside..."

Ellie nodded:

"Well, I was delayed by something on the way."

She was the last to arrive on purpose, because according to custom, the later she arrived, the closer she would stand to the artifact. This was her chance. At the end of the ceremony, the artifact would be within reach of her hand, and it only took an instant.

She can leave here with it.

And no one will be wary of her. People like her can't do anything when they encounter the artifact. But as long as the monitor can keep his promise, she can use the powerful power in the artifact to rush into her father's prison, and then take him with her.

Get him out of here.

Now the three wise kings are all outside preparing for a duel with the Federation. This is also the time when Atlantis is at its most empty.

I actually thought about returning the artifact to Atlantis after rescuing my father.

But she understood better that this was a deal with the devil. The Monitor and the organization and power behind him would help her rescue her father, and she would dedicate the ancient Atlantis artifact to this mysterious organization.

There is no doubt that she is a traitor, and by Ellie's own standards, she is still a much more sinful villain than her father.

But they will elect a new prince in a few days, and they don't have any time anymore.

"I understand." The man nodded, "They just said some unpleasant things inside. You should not be responsible for what your father did, but they don't even understand this most basic truth."

Ellie smiled and said:

"It's okay, Vox, I'm used to it."

And what he told was also a lie. What the Three Wise Kings claimed was that her father had committed a serious crime of betraying Atlantis, but Ellie knew very well that what he did was completely contradictory to what the Three Wise Kings claimed, because she saw it with her own eyes.

He went to find them with his father to advise him.

When she and Vox walked into the temple, their bodies suddenly froze for a moment.

Because she saw the wise king Milod standing next to the artifact "Storm Conch".

This is completely contrary to the information she has received, but Ellie also knows that this is actually a normal situation. She has been almost completely deprived of all rights now, and the movements of the Three Wise Kings are unlikely to be true.

After being surprised and frightened, Ellie suddenly felt a little relaxed.

She couldn't figure out whether she was relaxed because she didn't have to take risks, or because she didn't have to betray Atlantis, or even more likely both, but she immediately felt a little guilty.

Guilt towards his father.

No chance anymore.

If it were the other two wise kings, she might risk her life and try to snatch the artifact, so that she might really have a negligible chance. But in front of Milod, she couldn't even think of a possibility of success. He was Milod.

Germany.

Just when Ellie wanted to walk to her position, she stopped uncontrollably. Vox beside her swallowed timidly, no longer thinking about maintaining an image in front of her, because the secret

Lord was walking towards them.

He stopped in front of the two of them, then looked at Vox with a majestic expression and said:

"Can I talk to her alone?"

Vox nodded and ran away as if he had encountered a shark.

Milod looked at her.

At this moment, Ellie even thought that her conspiracy had been exposed, and she was even mentally prepared to go to the execution ground.

But Milod just asked gently:

"I heard that you have been treated unfairly recently?"

Ellie nodded slightly, but immediately denied:

"My father made a mistake, and I should bear the price."

Milod shook his head slightly:

"I also watched your father grow up. In fact, he was also a good boy before. No one thought that he would do such a thing, but he is not the focus of what we are talking about now. I think you must have heard that there is a new

Is the prince going to be elected?"

Ellie nodded nervously:

"Yes."

Milod continued:

"I just heard about this not long ago, and they didn't notify me. I'm sorry. I might have stopped it if I knew about it, but I can't do anything now."

Ellie said a little flattered:

"No, you don't have to say that, father..."

Milod interrupted:

"It's one thing what your father is like, but they shouldn't elect a new prince."

Ellie asked in surprise:

"You mean he's okay..."

But the reality is not as beautiful as she expected,

Milod's face darkened slightly:

"No, no, he has to pay for his mistakes.

"I mean this position should have been reserved for you."

These words were completely beyond Ellie's expectations and she didn't know what to say.

Milod continued:

"You are his legal heir, but the decisions of the Three Wise Kings are always made by the minority and I can't make any changes to this, so I want to give you a promise. If the position of the prince becomes vacant again...

…

"I'll let you get what you deserve."

Ellie shook her head in confusion:

"No, no, if you really want to give me something, maybe you can consider my father..."

"Impossible." Before she could finish speaking, Milod interrupted her.

Then he shook his head apologetically:

"Sorry, there is no room for discussion on this matter. He is destined to spend the rest of his life in the trench.
