Imperial Crown.

Chapter 113 Heart of the Forest
Hearing Raven's words, Denise's expression suddenly became strange, her eyebrows wrinkled, and her teeth bit her lips lightly.

If I want to laugh, I don’t think this sentence is that funny. If I don’t want to laugh, I just can’t help it.

“Raven, you…”

"Where did you learn this strange rhetoric?"

Raven smiled and said, "What a gift!"

"I think you are born thick-skinned." Denise's voice was full of dissatisfaction: "If you really missed me, why didn't you come to see me after three days of coming back?"

"Visdon keeps pestering you to talk about his 'great achievements'. I need a chance too." Raven chuckled, put down his glass and stood up.

"and……"

Today, Denise was wearing a burgundy dress, with her black hair piled up on her head like a heavy cloud. Her rosy red lips and slightly frosty expression exuded an intoxicating charm.

As he walked closer to Denise, Raven could see that her breathing began to become tense, as if she was afraid that Raven would do something, but her body proudly stayed where it was, refusing to retreat at all.

Walking to a position close to Denise, Raven put his lips close to Denise's ear and exhaled lightly, and saw a layer of goose bumps on Denise's swan-like neck:
"Besides, there are so many things going on right now. If I find you and then don't want to work hard anymore, wouldn't that be terrible?"

Denise thought Raven would say something sweet, but she felt embarrassed and annoyed when she heard this. She pushed Raven's chest with both hands and said angrily, "Raven!"

"Oh, don't get excited." Raven smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Denise's slender waist, but his hand was opened again. He didn't care: "It's just a joke. If anyone wants to raise you, I will raise you, right?"

"Hmph, I don't need anyone to support me." Denise rolled her eyes at Raven and said, "If I really have to choose someone, I won't choose you."

Raven was stunned, a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes: "Oh? Who is it?"

"It's none of your business." Denise turned her head away.

"That's not your call." Raven stepped forward, forcefully pulled Denise into his arms, and stared into her eyes: "Who is it?"

From Denise's perspective, Raven was like a mad beast, his eyes full of violent possessiveness. Denise also had a competitive thought in her heart: "If I don't--"

Her voice was blocked in her throat because Raven's lips had already pressed hard against hers, with a strong masculine scent.

Denise felt her body slowly going limp. Her hands beat and pushed Raven, but she couldn't move him at all.

Raven could also feel the sexy body in his arms getting hotter and hotter, and a faint whine like sobbing came out of his nose.

He held Denise's waist tightly with his right hand, keeping the two of them pressed tightly together, and his left hand stroked Denise's lower abdomen, kneading it gently, then slowly moved upwards, creating circle after circle of ripples on the soft long skirt.

That hand seemed to have some kind of magic. Wherever it passed, all of Denise's resistance collapsed. She reached out to stop Raven, but her hand was as weak as the touch of a kitten.

It will be the top of the list, and the mountains are small.

When Raven finally climbed to the top of the mountain, Denise's body suddenly collapsed like water. Her eyelashes trembled on her tightly closed eyes, leaving a trace of hot and wet water. Her originally fair skin turned as red as autumn maple leaves.

Raven's footsteps circled in the study, from the middle of the room to the bookshelf, and from the bookshelf to the desk.

Denise lay on her back on the desk, waving her arms, knocking over the wine glass containing Angel's Tears. The dark red wine flowed down the desk onto the carpet, forming a bright and moist red.

When the kiss finally ended, Raven slowly stood up and Denise slowly opened her eyes.

Raven saw the spring-like light in her eyes, her slightly red and swollen lips, and the lipstick smeared all over her body, which made his heart beat a little faster.

Especially when he saw Denise's white neck covered with sweat and her clothes that were ravaged and wrinkled, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed her collar with both hands.

However, he caught nothing.

Denise stood up, dodging Raven's clutches, and tidied her messy clothes and hair: "Why, aren't you afraid of losing your ambition now?"

"Then you shouldn't have said that to me." Raven raised the bottle of Angel's Tears and took a sip: "I'm not that broad-minded!"

"You are not only narrow-minded, but also lack conscience." Denise walked to the bronze mirror, took out a handkerchief, and cleaned the lipstick that had overflowed from her lips. "Do you think that if you leave for two months, no one will covet the Eagle Territory?"

Raven looked at Denise in the mirror and suddenly said, "You mean, Judra?"

"Yeah." Denise rolled her eyes at Raven. "Less than half a month after you left, Judra sent someone to contact me and asked me to meet in private."

"You promised him?" Raven was surprised.

"Hmph!" Denise's face showed a trace of anger. She threw her handkerchief across Raven's cheek and fell into the trash can. "If I had agreed to him, how could you see me here now?"

But Denise wasn't really angry. She was still very happy to see Raven being jealous of her.

Raven rubbed his nose, coughed and changed the subject: "What does Judra want?"

"On the surface, he wants me to quickly hand over the gold coins you promised to give him." Denise took the bottle from Raven and took a sip. "In reality, he just wants to test my attitude again. He almost said that he wants me to work with him inside and outside to swallow up the Eagle Territory."

"Naive." Raven commented on Judra with a smile.

In Eagle Territory, Denise was the widow of a baron and held great financial power; but if she went to Ironfurnace Ridge, she might not even be able to maintain her position as a baroness. Moreover, it was understandable that she had married Donald before, but if she got entangled with Judra again, she would probably be labeled as "promiscuous", which would be a loss no matter how you looked at it.

Only Judra would think that his "true love" could impress Denise.

"He's not that naive." Denise shook her head slightly: "He asked for two thousand gold coins right away, and he was going to break the contract if I didn't give it to him." "How can he be so bold?" Raven was a little surprised.

"It's not all because of you." Denise sighed, "You insisted on going to Bloody Heights. Few people thought you could come back alive. In such a situation, it's normal to be brave."

Raven frowned slightly: "...So, how did you deal with him?"

Denise snorted. "Of course I gave him the money. Did I really go to see him? But that guy came back three days ago and didn't say a word to me."

Raven laughed at this. Denise's words were like those of a girl in love...

behave in a spoiled manner.

"What are you laughing at?" Denise suddenly felt a little embarrassed that her thoughts were seen through.

Raven didn't answer, but stood up and walked towards Denise step by step.

The latter took a step back: "Stop messing around."

"Don't move," Raven said softly.

With just these two words, Denise stood there as if she was hit by a third-level magic human immobilization spell.

Raven reached out and touched his belt, and a necklace appeared in his hand.

This necklace is made with elven craftsmanship and has the unique aesthetic taste of the elves, elegant and luxurious.

It was called a necklace, but it was actually a gauze-like curtain woven with light silver metal hooks, with a dark green gem the size of a pigeon egg in the center.

Putting his hands around Denise's neck, Raven put the necklace on her personally, took two steps back, and glanced at her with admiration: "I knew it would suit you."

Few women can resist the temptation of jewelry, let alone jewelry made by elves.

Denise is no exception.

She turned to the bronze mirror and saw the gem shining on her chest, which moved her slightly.

This piece of jewelry is not only valuable, but also very suitable for her temperament. It does not overshadow her, but makes her look more beautiful and refined.

From this she could tell that Raven didn't just pick up a piece of jewelry to fool her, but really put some thought into it.

For a moment, the resentment that had lingered in my heart disappeared.

"What's its name?"

Raven hesitated slightly.

This piece of jewelry was taken from the treasure house of Heleti. The horse thief had no appreciation level, so he certainly didn't set up a display stand, write a label, and tell the story of the jewelry's past and present.

But this question is not difficult for Raven: "Heart of the Forest."

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Denise couldn't suppress a smile: "Then, I will accept your kindness."

She turned and walked out the door with brisk steps.

When she passed by Raven, she suddenly stopped and pecked him on the lips: "I like the Heart of the Forest very much, but you must remember to return my gold coins to me."

After saying that, Denise took another step forward until her figure disappeared from the door, and the crisp footsteps of her high heels still echoed in the corridor.

Raven touched his lips and laughed.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Raven finished his meditation and had just washed up with the help of Petty when he heard a burst of uniform shouting.

Surprised, Raven walked to the window, looked in the direction of the sound, and immediately smiled with relief.

The Eagle Army, which had regrouped, was seen forming a team under the leadership of Eric and running outside the Eagle Castle.

They were lined up in neat rows with high spirits. Their footsteps sounded like rhythmic drum beats and their shouts raised clouds of morning mist under the rising sun.

You don’t have to be there to feel their high morale and the energy that radiates from the inside out!
Home is the best harbor.

However, after three days of rest, they were full of strength again.

There was a gleam of determination in Raven's eyes.

It's time to start preparing for that matter.

"Petie, go find Fiona and tell her to wait for me in the study."
