Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 575 - 313: Louis’s Schemes, the Little Swan’s Compromise and Wails

Chapter 575: Chapter 313: Louis’s Schemes, the Little Swan’s Compromise and Wails

"Do you think that’s the issue I’m going to talk about?"

Looking at the little swan biting her lower lip, Louis sighed and said, "What’s done is done. I failed to control myself, it’s not just your problem. If there are any consequences, we’ll face them together."

He released his hands from the little swan, straightened up, and said, "So there’s no need for you to overthink it. I’ll take responsibility where it’s due."

The little swan lying on the seat had a ripple of emotions in her eyes, and she finally sat up, saying, "What’s the point of saying this? I don’t need you to take responsibility anyway."

But Louis could feel her mood had calmed a bit, at least she wasn’t as agitated as before, so he said:

"How to handle this is something I need to consider. Accepting or not is your problem. Now there’s something I must tell you, it concerns Beatrice."

The little swan’s ears twitched slightly, her gaze shifted over.

Seeing he finally had her attention, Louis said, "You and I both went back to the past, but there’s something I haven’t told you before. Do you remember I once said that I didn’t directly replace the entangled kingdom of this timeline, but first replaced the future entangled kingdom and faced the guillotine before being reborn back to the past?"

The little swan recalled in her mind and found this memory: "Yes, you told both me and her (referring to the black swan) about this."

Louis said calmly, "You only know I am aware of future events, but have you ever wondered how I came to know them?"

"Didn’t you replace the future entangled kingdom?"

"When I replaced him, I didn’t gain any memories, and at that time, I was only a day away from being taken to the guillotine. Where do you think I learned about these things?"

Upon hearing this, the little swan fell into deep thought. This was a question she hadn’t considered before.

She had previously taken it for granted that Louis having memories of the future was a given, but now listening to him, she sensed something was off.

She tentatively asked, "Do you have other means of obtaining information from the outside world?"

Louis’s mind was racing, thinking about how to respond to the little swan.

He didn’t dislike the little swan, nor did he think of himself as a moral saint.

To put it bluntly, he was also a man, and seeing attractive women would make him have thoughts.

But the education from his youth constrained his restless heart.

To be honest, it’s quite shameful that after being pushed by the great sin of lust, a relationship formed between him, the little swan, and the black swan, he actually felt a sense of relief.

He looked at the little swan and said, "Do you know what kind of traits the great sin embodies?"

The little swan blinked and said, "I haven’t really taken notice."

"My Blade Tutor is an old-timer who has lived since the Elf Realm era and has never lost his consciousness." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The little swan’s eyes lit up and instinctively said, "Then he should know a lot about the secret research from the Elf Realm period, right? Can we ask him to talk about it?"

Louis’s lips twitched slightly, "Only at times like this do I feel you resemble a Mage."

The little swan chuckled awkwardly, her expression slightly embarrassed.

But the tension between the two softened a bit, gradually returning to the harmonious state of the past.

However, both knew that the essence of their interaction had changed.

Louis sighed and said, "Do you think he would disclose secrets about the development of the elves? Even if he became the Blade Tutor, he would still consider his own race."

"So, did he tell you what traits the great sin has?"

Louis said indifferently:

"First, everyone initially has only one great sin."

"Second, for beings below the paragon level, it’s impossible to bear two great sins, as the vessel’s capacity isn’t sufficient."

"Third, if there are multiple great sins, it’s because someone used [Devour Together] and completely assimilated the other party; only in this way can one tread the path of possessing multiple great sins."

"Fourth, even demigods can only bear four great sins, any more and their bodies would have issues."

These words were the original teachings of Master Merlin.

The little swan frowned and said, "Did the entangled kingdom feed itself to you?"

Louis said, "Most likely, I never encountered the great sin of lust, but it revived within me. This shows that it was the first great sin I mastered."

Olivia snorted to show she understood, then said, "So you knowing about future events is related to the entangled kingdom’s backup plan?"

"Yes, he extracted all of the great sin’s power and converted it into the Greed Diary. The Greed Diary can observe the changes in future timelines, and it was through it that I came to know so many things."

The little swan got angry and jumped up to give Louis’s knee a kick.

"So you lied to me again earlier?"

Louis only felt that the little swan’s kick was soft and gentle, as if it was giving him a massage. He spread his hands and said:

"You should know how cautious I am."

He paused for a moment and then added, "You’re the first to know about the Greed Diary."

The little swan was momentarily stunned, her heart suddenly softened a bit.

Even though she knew Louis was saying this to comfort her, she couldn’t help but feel happy.

"So what’s the relationship between the Greed Diary and Sister Wang?" The little swan snorted lightly, "If there is one, then spit it out."

Louis was secretly pleased.

The little swan asking this question meant he had turned the tables to his advantage.

He said heavily, "In the timeline you were in, Beatrice faced death early, but in this timeline, the crisis threatening Beatrice has already been resolved by us, don’t you think so?"
