Chapter 276 Vincent’s Sacrifice

Vincent and Cress looked at each other quietly for a few seconds. In the end, Vincent was defeated first, looked away, and let go of his hand.

"Wait a minute and you follow me," Vincent ordered. "After we set off, I will pretend to send you to help me. Then you can take the opportunity to leave and meet Azarez."

This arrangement is not unexpected, it can even be said to be old-fashioned and devoid of new ideas, but it is useful. When the troops are withdrawing, everyone will relax their vigilance, and no one will pay attention to what a small follower is doing.

Cress had no objection to this arrangement, but Vincent's attitude seemed like he was changing the subject in a hurry, preventing Cress from asking him questions.

"I do want to leave," Cress looked at him with a half-smile, leaned over, pinched the chin of the man who was half a head taller than her, and forced him to turn his head to face her, "But, how can I

I think it would be better to speak more clearly before leaving, right?"

The words are clear, but what happened between them couldn't be clearer, so more needs to be said.

Vincent expressionlessly took out the dagger from his waist and handed it to Cress.

Cress didn't answer. She looked up at Vincent and saw the world-weary emotion floating in his eyes.

Seeing that she didn't move, Vincent simply grabbed her hand, opened her palm, and forced the dagger into her palm. Then he held her hand again and pressed the tip of the dagger against his.

Heart.

"I have nothing left to give you," Vincent said calmly, "I only have this life left, take it if you want it."

Cress twitched her hand, but it didn't move. Vincent even took her hand and stabbed it in a little more.

Cress laughed angrily and slapped Vincent on the face with her backhand.

There is only one life left. Vincent's life is no longer his own. He has already given his life to Fred. He just said this to block her mouth and prevent her from talking about this topic.

Talk more.

It looked like Vincent knew exactly what she was going to say.

Because Azarez had reached a cooperation with Fred, she confessed very happily. Because of this, she did not suffer a lot of torture. In her free time, Azarez would come and tell her about the outside world.

Condition.

Cress was extremely perceptive, and although Azarez didn't say it explicitly, she still sensed that Azarez wanted her to persuade Vincent.

So she came, after all, Azarez was still her immediate boss.

But Vincent didn't want to answer her words at all.

Vincent tilted his head in response to the force of her slap. When he raised his eyes again, there was a bit of coldness in his eyes: "That's enough. Are you going to cause trouble at this time?"

No matter how powerful the paper tiger is, it is still paper. Cress chuckled lightly. She has always known where her charm lies and how to use her charm.

"Actually, I'm quite satisfied with your abilities," Cress whispered into Vincent's ear affectionately, "You know, whether it's on the bed or off the bed."

Such words were too naked and provocative. Vincent frowned slightly. Now was not the time for them to do this kind of thing, and it was best not to involve more relationships. He didn't believe that Cress didn't understand this.

"Let go!" Vincent scolded her with a cold face, "Don't do this!"

Cress was not afraid of him, not to mention that she was aware of the changes in his body, and she was unwilling to give up and clung to him relentlessly.

"You obviously like it," Cress also darkened her face and smiled coldly, "Why do you refuse?"

"Cress, we don't have that kind of relationship anymore." Vincent sighed, "Do you need me to remind you of what you said?"

Yes, she did say that the two of them would never see each other again, but...

"Isn't it normal for demons to go back on their word?" Cress asked confidently, "You are really naive to believe what a demon says."

Cress did have a knack for her nonsense. Vincent looked at her helplessly and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Now that the business was down to business, Cress put away her playful expression and said seriously: "I want you to live well and live upright in this world."

Don't give your life to Fred, don't give up your own life casually.

Vincent chuckled and did not take these words seriously: "I thought you would want me to die."

He was very self-aware and ruined Kress's plan, causing Kress to be a prisoner and even unable to return to the demon clan. Kress didn't want to kill him with her own hands because of the thin past between the two of them.

The friendship developed.

"You don't understand the demons," Cress said unnecessarily. "In the traditional concept of the demons, betrayal is a normal thing. Instead of thinking about why you betrayed me, it's better to think about what I didn't do."

Enough to make you betray."

Generally speaking, a betrayer always has a reason. For example, if he betrays, he will get greater benefits or he has a handle that is pinched by others and has to betray. In the history of the demon clan, there are all kinds of reasons for betrayal.

We have all done it before, and Vincent's betrayal is nothing to the demons.

Didn't Cress never really believe in Vincent? It was just that Azarez's arrangement was superior and she passed her by. Vincent was not her betrayal so much as he was not hers from the beginning.

There is no such thing as betrayal. If she doesn't know people well, why should she blame Vincent for betraying her?

"Actually, I don't want to come here to see you again," Cress shrugged. She didn't want to put more pressure on Vincent, "but His Majesty doesn't seem to be satisfied with your decision, so I'm just here to share your worries."

you."

Vincent was not moved, he just found Azarez annoying.

"Once you take this step, we will really never see each other again," Cress analyzed with him. "You could have had a very comfortable future, with a title, a rich territory, and someone better than me.

There are as many women as you want who are more suitable for you...Okay, I know there won't be a woman more suitable for you than me, so don't glare at me."

Vincent has answered this question many times. He repeated what he had said many times in a rigid and numb tone: "Because I don't want to live, and I don't want to die easily, so I want to find a meaningful way to die."

.”

"Is it just because of this?" Cress stepped forward and asked aggressively, "It's not entirely because of this. Let me guess what you are doing."

Vincent looked like he was letting her guess, as if he was sure she couldn't guess, at least that's how he looked on the surface.

"It's for me." Cress said this abruptly. Vincent's face changed slightly and he subconsciously took a step back.

Cress knew that she had guessed correctly, and for a moment she didn't know what expression to show.

She could not have guessed the reason at first. No demon would believe that others would make such a big sacrifice for themselves, but Azarez thought so, so she cheated casually, and it turned out to be like this.

Looking back from this perspective, Cress quickly figured out the reason why Vincent did this.

Vincent probably prepared for the worst from the beginning, that is, Fred would not let her go.

His worries are correct. The agreement between Fred and Azarez also made it clear that letting Cress go is only temporary. When Azarez returns to his position as the Demon King, Cress will be escorted back to face trial.

, in the case of extremely unequal status between the two parties, Azarez and Kress could only accept this content.

Once Vincent accepts Fred's gift and becomes a noble, he will be subject to a lot of constraints. He will not only be burdened with his own interests, he will always have to consider other people.

There was no way to ask Fred to let her go.
