Chapter 296: You are Born for This - III
He gave resources to the Tower of Babel, he supported the Tower of Babel… what does that represent?
These resources, these supports, to Ansel, are they very laborious things?
No, never, he just needs to leak some micro-resources from his fingertips, which can make the Tower of Babel enjoy endlessly. There is nothing to prove that Ansel of Hydral values the Tower of Babel very much.
To him, the Tower of Babel may just be an interesting and useful toy. But his good attitude towards the people of the Tower of Babel and Evora formed a too sharp contrast, making them have the illusion that “Mr. Ansel values us very much”, making them think that Ansel will always stand on their side.
And the fact? The fact is… Ansel doesn’t care much about the Tower of Babel. The organization with a deep foundation, the old and powerful fifth-stage strong, which of them is not more valuable than the uncertain future of the Tower of Babel?
Or to say, even if Ansel stands on the opposite side of the Tower of Babel for them, what can the Tower of Babel say?
Who gave everything that the Tower of Babel can have now?
The Tower of Babel, Ravenna… they had no choice from the beginning.
They must do everything possible to ensure that Ansel’s position will stand on their side.
Otherwise, when the outside world gradually realizes that the Tower of Babel is almost insignificant to Ansel, and even Ansel sometimes does not want to stand on the side of the Tower of Babel…
Then their situation will slide in a direction that no one wants to see, at most, it is slightly better than when controlled by Evora.
But the members of the Tower of Babel who have already experienced this taste, how can they be willing to see their current status fall again?
No one will accept it, and Ravenna… is the same.
“Madam, you go to the venue to prepare for the lecture first.”
Ravenna looked in the direction where Ansel had left: “I will ensure that Ansel stands on our side.”
“…Ravenna, you —”
“Don’t worry.”
The petite and cold woman tried to show a smile to the elder who cared for her, but it was still stiff and weird: “Forgot how he called me? Trust me, madam.”
Ronger was silent for a long time, then sighed lightly, and also forced a smile: “I trust you, Ravenna… as always.”
She seemed to have something else to say, but she couldn’t say it, but Ravenna read Ronger’s thoughts from her ashamed and tired eyes.
She did not wish for Ravenna to make any more sacrifices… regardless of the nature of the sacrifice.
She, Hendrik, and those who had watched Ravenna grow, did not want this girl, who had sacrificed so much for the Tower of Babel, to give up anything more on her own.
Ravenna even wondered what the deeper reason was for Ronger to change his mind.
— This noblewoman, who regarded Ravenna as her own child, did not want her to be forced to plead with Ansel of Hydral, just to make the Tower of Babel a little better.
And the irony was…
Ravenna turned around, her teeth almost biting into her lips.
When she did not resist her emotions with reason, the guilt that surged in her heart was so… torturous.
The irony was that the person she was worried about, who was about to make another sacrifice for the Tower of Babel, was now presumptuously… making those who were worried about Ravenna, make a sacrifice.
Ravenna Ziegler, bearing the love of others, yet having to sacrifice those loved her — she didn’t even know what Ansel would ask for, what he would make Ronger or Hendrik sacrifice, she just chose to do so.
Even if, even if Ronger or Hendrik, if they knew the condition, would not hesitate to make a sacrifice, would definitely let Ravenna do what she is doing now… could she really do this with a clear conscience?
Could she arbitrarily choose others to make sacrifices, while also accepting their love?
Such a fact seemed to speak for Ansel:
Even the noblest ideals cannot cover up your despicable behavior at this moment. ƒreewebɳovel.com
And even though reality is so cruel, Ravenna had no reason to hate Ansel, she indeed thought so, Ansel just put the choice in front of her.
The young Hydral, the vicious devil, has no obligation to unconditionally save others.
In the end, Ravenna had no right to denounce Ansel’s cruelty, she could only despise her own ugliness.
What’s more absurd and ridiculous is that she had to bear the love of those she sacrificed, despise her own ugliness, and… make sacrifices more firmly.
Do you still have a choice, Ravenna?
Under this open plot, choosing to let Ronger or Hendrik make sacrifices will undoubtedly break her bottom line, which is already almost as low as it can be, and she did indeed say… as long as she can realize her ideals, she can sacrifice everything.
She told Ansel that the reason Eileen failed was because he was unwilling to make sacrifices.
This thought has entangled Ravenna for fifteen years, from the death of Eileen to today, everything is telling Ravenna, guiding Ravenna, what to do.
Should she expect that mysterious person to take action again? No, the situation has become so urgent that Ansel has obviously seen through the purpose of that mysterious person first, the other party has already lost, what she can do… is only to obey.
In her mind, a voice urged Ravenna to make the most appropriate choice, to make the most efficient sacrifice, because this is absolutely beneficial to the Tower of Babel, and only when the Tower of Babel becomes stronger, can she have the chance to touch those unreachable ideal stars.
That voice was saying, don’t hesitate, Ravenna, you’re used to it, you were born like this.
You were born for this.
You were born for this.
