William thought for a long time and said in a low voice, "I have thought about it for a
long time and I don't know how to ask you."
Derila didn't say anything and waited for him quietly.
William lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then gathered the courage to say,
"Derila, I'm sorry that I lied to you. In fact, I knew I was poisoned from the
beginning, and I also found out that there was something wrong with the water source,
and I deliberately tricked you into coming here. There are two main reasons. Firstly, you
are the only person in this world who can cure us of the poison and can heal my leg.
Secondly, as you can see, His Majesty the King doesn't care if I live or die.
Even if I and the people in my castle were to go to him to complain about the poisoning,
he would just find an excuse and pass it off, and nothing would come of it in the end. My
life is not worth dying for, but I can't let them die with me in vain. So, in order to get the
king's attention, I want to use your hand to check out the water problem, and then use
your reputation to prove the authority of this matter."
At this point, William bowed his head in shame, "I know this is nasty and shameless,
and I hate myself for it, but I have no choice."
"And then what?" Derila pursued, "You were the one who told Clark to report to the
king, weren't you? It was also you who told him to reveal my relationship with
Daemon?"
"Yes." William nodded heavily, "It was all my premeditation, it was I who used you and
deceived you."
After saying this, William lowered his head, not daring to look at Derila's eyes.
Surprisingly, Derila wasn't angry, not even half upset, instead he was calm: "I
guessed it a long time ago, to be honest, will be angry, but can also understand, after
all, you carry so many lives on your shoulders, you have to be responsible for them."
"You don't blame me?" William was very surprised.
"It's okay." Derila didn't seem to have any emotional ups and downs, "As a friend,
I'm kinda angry, you needed help and support, you could have just told me, why did you
lie to me? But as a doctor, I can understand your heart to save people again. Putting it
in another way, if I encountered the same thing and was forced to use some means in
order to save the orphanage, would I do it?
The answer is yes. So I would be able to understand you. Only, what makes me
different from you is that I will be honest and truthful with my friends and not cheat or
take advantage."
"I'm sorry, that was my mistake." William bowed his head in apology, "I was the one who
thought things were too easy, I thought that telling you the truth would put a
psychological burden on you, and that once Mr.Lierger knew the truth, he wouldn't let
you come to Danontand. I thought that with the help of your identity, I would soon be
able to solve the problem and explain the situation to you and Mr.Lierger and
apologise properly when it was resolved, but I didn't expect."
"I didn't expect that Daemon and I would break up at this juncture, and the media even
announced his engagement to Penny." Derila had just finished her words when she
suddenly understood a question, could Daemon have sensed William's plan and done
this on purpose to suppress him?
Although she thought so, she did not say it, but continued to ask William: "Why are you
telling me the truth at this time? What exactly did the king tell you?"
At this time, Derila's intelligence was online. She knew very well that at this
juncture, William would not have the heart to talk about his children's personal feelings;
he had cornered her to tell her so much, there must be something more important.
"The king has promised to investigate the matter thoroughly and, at the same time, has
made a condition to me." William thought for a long time before finally speaking.
"What condition?" Derila asked afterwards.
William raised his eyes to look at Derila and told her the truth directly, "He wants
me to keep you at William's castle for six months, and forbid you to leave."
