Chapter 358 The Villain Lady Arrives 187

Ryan knew that in order to get to the core of the Church of Light and expose the hidden dark side, he must first win Alice's unconditional trust. This was not only a battle of wits, but also a battle of heart and faith. He began to observe Alice's every move more carefully, listen to her every word, and try to understand her thinking patterns and values ​​from the subtleties.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the windows of the castle, Ryan was always the first to wake up. He walked out of the room quietly and came to the small garden where Alice often did morning exercises. There, Alice was concentrating with her eyes closed, and her hands were slowly spread out, as if she was having some mysterious communication with nature. Ryan stood quietly by, his eyes full of awe and curiosity. He noticed that every time Alice completed a set of complex movements, an indescribable tranquility and satisfaction would always appear on her face, which was a deep understanding of the power of life.

"Lady Alice, your morning exercises are truly breathtaking." Ryan finally couldn't help but speak, with some sincere admiration in his voice, "I have never seen such a harmonious and powerful vitality."

Alice opened her eyes and smiled. That smile was like the warm spring sun, warm but not dazzling. "Ryan, the power of life comes from inner peace and persistence. No matter how noisy the outside world is, as long as we can keep our hearts pure and firm, we can find our own source of power."

Ryan nodded and secretly remembered this sentence in his heart. He began to try to imitate Alice's method, meditating and training every morning. Gradually, he found that his mentality became more peaceful and his perception of the surrounding environment became more acute.

As time went by, the conversations between Ryan and Alice became more frequent and in-depth. They were no longer limited to discussions about combat skills or mission arrangements, but began to explore deeper topics such as faith and the meaning of life.

"Lady Alice, I've always been curious, what makes you so firmly believe that love and justice can overcome everything?" After a dinner, Ryan finally plucked up the courage to ask this question that had been bothering him for a long time.

Alice gently put down the cutlery in her hand and looked at Ryan tenderly. "Ryan, do you know? In this world full of darkness and injustice, love and justice are like the brightest stars in the night sky. Although they are tiny, they can illuminate our way forward. They make me believe that no matter how great the difficulties and setbacks we encounter, as long as we don't give up hope, we will definitely find a way out."

Ryan was deeply moved by Alice's words. He had never thought that a person's faith could be so pure and firm. He lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Lord Alice, I also want to be like you and use my own power to protect this world. But I am afraid that my power is too small to change anything."

Alice reached out and gently patted Ryan's hand, with encouragement in her eyes. "Ryan, the size of power does not lie in how much you have, but in how you use it. Remember, everyone has a power in their heart that cannot be ignored. As long as we stand up bravely, warm others with love, and fight evil with justice, then even the smallest light can gather into a powerful force to illuminate the darkness."

In order to prove himself, Ryan began to participate more actively in various tasks. He always rushed to the front line and interpreted bravery and responsibility with his actions. In a rescue operation, he sneaked into the enemy camp alone, successfully rescued the captured villagers, and repelled the pursuers at a critical moment, ensuring the safe evacuation of everyone.

When Ryan returned to the castle, covered in wounds and exhausted, Alice and Tariq were already waiting there. Alice walked over quickly, her eyes full of concern and pride. "Ryan, you did a great job! Your bravery and wisdom make us all proud of you."

Tariq also patted Ryan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, I'm optimistic about you! Keep working hard. The future Church of Light needs young blood like you."

Ryan felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that he was one step closer to Alice's trust. But he also knew that the real test was still to come. He needed to continue to maintain his original intention and enthusiasm, prove himself with practical actions, and win the respect and trust of more people.

Just as Ryan was about to further investigate the situation inside the Church of Light, an unexpected discovery put him in deep conflict. He accidentally found a dusty diary that recorded Alice's early experiences and mental journey. It turned out that Alice had also experienced betrayal and pain, but she never gave up her belief in love and justice. In her own way, she silently protected every life on this land, and never backed down even in the face of many difficulties and dangers.

Ryan's heart was deeply shaken. He began to reflect on his original intention and behavior. Was he really fighting for justice as he thought? Or was he just fighting to satisfy his personal desires and revenge? In countless sleepless nights, he repeatedly questioned his soul and finally made a difficult decision.

He decided to give up his original plan and no longer try to expose the dark side of the Church of Light. Instead, he chose to stand on the side of Alice and Tariq and use his own power to protect the peace and tranquility of this land. He knew that true justice was not achieved through exposure and destruction, but through love and understanding.

On the day of the ceremony, when everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming celebration, Ryan stood aside silently, observing everyone. He saw the busyness and persistence of Alice and Tariq, and the expectation and joy on the faces of other believers. He realized that this was not just an organization, but a big family, and everyone was protecting the love and peace on this land in their own way.

When the crisis suddenly came and an unexpected attack broke the tranquility of the celebration, Ryan rushed forward without hesitation and fought side by side with Alice and Tariq. He used his wisdom and courage to resolve the crisis time and time again and protect the safety of everyone.

When the crisis was resolved and everyone cheered, Ryan stood quietly outside the crowd, looking at the sky that had become brighter because of their efforts. He knew that he had found his own direction and faith. He was no longer the warrior who lived only for revenge, but a guardian who was willing to fight for love and justice.

Alice came over, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction. "Ryan, you did a great job. I've seen your growth and transformation, and I've also felt the strength in your heart. I believe that you will become an even better warrior and leader in the future."

Ryan smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with determination and confidence. "Lady Alice, thank you for your trust and teachings. I will continue to work hard and contribute my strength to the love and peace of this land."
