Stop hypnotizing me, villain princess!
Chapter 158 Sorry, Brother Xia
Chapter 158 Sorry, Brother Xia (7k)
The words that sounded like a palace coup echoed throughout the entire council hall.
Of course, the few people who knew the inside story heard the hidden meaning in Lin En's words, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.
If you want to die, stand away!
Don't splatter my blood!
They thought with trepidation.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere terminator Lin En still stood there, looking at Saint Laurent VI.
Not many people can withstand the gaze of an emperor.
As a time traveler, he happens to be one of them.
Taking advantage of this gap, Cardinal Connor also stared at Lynn silently, as if he was weighing something.
He didn't expect that this kid was so cunning that he could bite him back before he could make a move.
But this was not a very difficult problem for him.
Because at the end of the day, these accusations are false and a ploy to muddy the waters.
The Tianli Church has been deeply rooted in the Saint Laurent Empire for so many years, so naturally it will not be seriously injured because of a false accusation.
But for now, he has to take the blame for the time being.
Because all this was decided by Saint Laurent VI.
Although the Tenli Church was not under the direct jurisdiction of the empire, it still followed the old calendar and respected the emperor in some aspects.
Therefore, when faced with Lynn's accusations, he did not panic, but chose to remain silent.
However, as one of the culprits who had caused the destruction of the Bartleon family, he naturally could not just watch this enemy leave safely.
Even for Lin En at this moment, he seemed to be dancing on the edge of a cliff ten thousand meters high.
If you make the slightest mistake, you will fall into the bottomless abyss.
And if you want to push him down, what you have to do is very simple.
Bishop Connor looked calmly at Lynn, who seemed fearless.
The more this kid looked like this, the more it proved his guess.
Why did Lynn suddenly make such accusations against the Tenli Church?
As we all know, when a hot news appears in society, it often means that another hot news is overshadowed.
In other words, he did this just to divert everyone's attention away from the questions raised by Bishop Connor.
This further proves that Lin En has no way to explain how he survived the two demons.
As long as he grasps this point, he can easily wipe out all the power he has built up today.
What an innocent little guy.
Bishop Connor smiled, then slowly said: "Your Majesty."
Before he could finish his words, Saint Laurent VI suddenly spoke up and interrupted him.
On the high platform, the emperor looked down at the calm-faced young man below with a dignified expression.
"Very courageous." Saint Laurent VI said coldly, "It seems that the Bartleron family has produced an outstanding descendant."
"Your Majesty, thank you very much."
Lynn leaned forward slightly, but there was no trace of humility on his face.
"Hmph." Saint Laurent VI snorted coldly, then looked around and his expression eased a little. "As you can see, there seemed to be some unpleasant incidents in today's award ceremony. I have decided to hold it another day."
"Now, everyone leave immediately."
His voice instantly spread throughout the entire council hall.
The nobles who arrived at the scene immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their backs were soaked with cold sweat and their hearts were beating wildly.
After praising the great Emperor, people left the venue one after another, trying to maintain their elegance as much as possible, and swarmed towards the door.
As for Marquis Mosgra, who was trembling while holding his granddaughter's body, he was asked to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at the boy's back with red eyes full of resentment and jealousy.
As if a decision had been made.
Seeing this, Princess Hillina and others did not want to continue to muddy the water and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Saint Laurent VI suddenly called them.
"All members of the royal family present, gather at Elohet Palace."
"As for you, Lynn Bartleron, come along as well."
"I think there are some things I should talk to you about in person."
Having said that, Saint Laurent VI quickly left the council hall surrounded by members of the Knights Templar.
Except for the third princess Ivester, all the royal family members present included the eldest princess, the second prince, the fourth prince and the ninth princess. They were all present at the dinner and were now called to the palace by their father.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other.
Of course, the most shocked person among them was Cardinal Connor.
He never expected that Saint Laurent VI would make such a choice in the end.
It was clearly the Tianli Church that took the blame for him.
But for some reason, not only did he not take advantage of the situation to suppress this rebellious guy, he even made moves to exonerate him.
It was as if he didn't want the Tianli Church to ask about the outcome of the incident in such a situation.
Bishop Connor took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, his expression had returned to his usual gentleness.
Although the reason was unknown, it was obvious that now was not a good time to deal a fatal blow to Lynn.
but it does not matter.
What he is best at is waiting.
As long as Lynn doesn't leave Glostin, sooner or later something outrageous will happen.
At that time, he will find an opportunity to use this "knife" and kill him with one blow.
Late at night, inside Elohet Palace.
"Boy from the Bart Leon family, do you feel that you are very impressive tonight?"
The mark of the Golden Tree was engraved on the wall above the throne. Saint Laurent VI sat at the highest point, leaning over and looking at the young man at the bottom of the steps.
His eyes were faintly glowing with golden light, and his imperial majesty was like thunder descending to the earth.
I'm afraid that if it were anyone else, they would have knelt on the ground in fear.
However, Lynn looked calm.
Compared with the aura of the two demons, the old guy in front of him is simply not worth mentioning.
What's more, this is not his real body at the moment, it's just a puppet.
Lynn remained silent in response to Calderon's question.
Seeing this, Saint Laurent VI's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Do you think you have something on me and dare to use it to threaten me?"
"Yvesette is also extremely stupid. As a member of the royal family, she actually fooled around with you in public."
"Do you know the real reason why I didn't punish you tonight?!"
Hearing this, Lynn finally raised his head.
"Then, Your Majesty, do you know why His Highness was able to return to the imperial capital safely and why he did not transform into some terrifying existence?"
At this moment, his eyes were sharp, trying to detect a trace of fatherly concern from Saint Laurent VI's expression.
Unexpectedly, the other party just frowned and said coldly: "Now I am asking you."
It was as if the Ivester he was talking about was just an irrelevant passerby.
Hearing this, Lin En gave up the last bit of hope in his heart.
He shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
"When the incident happened, I was busy with important matters and could not get away." Saint Laurent VI said calmly, "When I had some free time to deal with government affairs, I found that the Bartleron family had experienced such a huge change in just a few months."
"This is my fault."
When talking about his former subordinates, his tone slowed down slightly.
After all, Count Bartleon is currently in a coma. Legally speaking, Lin En is the temporary head of the family and can automatically inherit the title.
After hearing Saint Laurent VI's words, Lynn's Liar Swallow did not react at all.
This shows that he is telling the truth.
But Lin En didn't feel flattered at all, and even felt like laughing.
If Old Deng really cared so much about this so-called old subordinate, then why didn't he take any action against the Mosgra family from beginning to end?
Not even the slightest bit of revenge.
It's not that he couldn't understand Saint Laurent VI's thoughts.
This is exactly what Lynn said to Duke Tyrvus after he shot Darion.
Things have happened.
In order to avoid maximizing losses, the "wise" emperor allowed Irina to transplant his divine genes, and he instantly became a hot new upstart in the empire, even ignoring the sufferings that the Bartleon family had endured over the past year.
The Fourth Prince had drawn Eleanor's blood. Was he really unaware of this?
Not necessarily.
Perhaps these subordinates have simply lost their usefulness and are not worthy of his continued support.
Lynn understood his thinking.
Understanding does not mean agreement.
Because humans are double-standard animals.
So at this moment, Lin En didn't even have the interest to talk to him.
Saint Laurent VI seemed to sense the other party's absent-mindedness and frowned: "Also, regarding the Sealed Object incident in Orne City, you were at the bottom and did not know the full picture, so you cannot judge the reason why the top leaders made such a decision."
"So I understand the anger and resentment in your heart."
"But that's no excuse for you to cause a scene in the chamber."
"You can regard today's incident as my compensation to your Bartleron family, or as my invisible reward for your actions in Orne City."
"After you leave the palace, I will not pursue your previous actions."
"As for the feud between you and the Mosgra family and the Tianli Church, I will not take sides with either side. I will leave this arena to you to fight."
"Thank you for your grace."
Lynn bowed calmly.
Seeing this, Saint Laurent VI looked him up and down expressionlessly, then nodded: "I hope you can have a more peaceful time in Grosting. It will be time for autumn hunting soon."
"Go ahead. Also, call Silina over here."
After getting the permission from Saint Laurent VI, Lynn safely escaped from what happened tonight. He slowly stood up and walked out of the palace with a calm expression.
Looking at his tall back, a barely perceptible cold light flashed in Saint Laurent VI's eyes.
"Yuvilia."
At a certain moment, Saint Laurent VI shouted at Lynn's back in a very abrupt manner.
However, the other party did not seem to react immediately, and did not even make a subconscious move.
Only after he had walked two or three steps did the young man turn around belatedly, looking surprised: "Your Majesty, who are you calling?"
".Nothing, go ahead."
Saint Laurent VI waved his hand with a dull expression.
At the same time, my heart was filled with confusion and puzzlement.
Could it be that I thought wrongly?
But if that is not the case, where did the core of the Level 0 seal and the Creation Demon that resides inside it go?
On the throne, the emperor fell into deep thought.
"What did the old guy talk to you about?"
Led by the court eunuch, Lin En left the emperor's palace and met Iveste and four other princes and princesses, including the eldest princess Hillina, in the courtyard.
Even Xia and the Silent Saint Tia came here for some reason and were looking at him with cold eyes.
However, Lin En had no time to deal with their affairs at the moment.
Feeling Yves's cold little hand wrapped around the back of his hand, Lin En smiled slightly: "Don't worry, His Majesty has pardoned my sins tonight."
He concealed the last episode, thinking it would not be a good idea to tell Yvesette about it too early.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in the other party's bright red eyes.
It seemed that he didn't expect that the old guy would be so easy to talk to today.
But she still secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, even for Yvessite, who had experienced many ups and downs, everything that happened tonight was full of excitement.
She was so excited that she could hardly hold back and pushed her cute puppy hard onto the bed.
It was a pity that Yves had already made a promise to herself that she would not sleep with him until she completely captured Lin's heart. Otherwise, wouldn't she have lost to that bitch in the future?
In addition, at the dinner just now, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Thinking of this, Iviste turned her gaze to the Silent Saint who had followed her for some reason.
After a brief eye contact, the other party seemed to be uninterested and looked away like a puppet.
Her intuition told her that the relationship between her and Lynn was not that simple.
But since it is not convenient at the moment, Yvesette plans to use her hypnosis ability combined with the lust switch on Lin En's tongue to "interrogate" this guy severely after she returns.
Watching Hillina slowly walking into the palace, Yvesette thought silently.
"You're lucky."
At this moment, the fourth prince Joshua on the side suddenly spoke without any context.
His eyes were full of confusion and surprise, as if he didn't expect why Lin En could walk out of Elohet Palace safely.
Seeing this, Lin En chuckled and lowered his head to adjust the glove on his left hand.
Since the previous one was picked up by Eunice, he only had one left.
However, the ancient dueling ritual did not have any requirements on the style of gloves.
Seeing his malicious look, the Fourth Prince's expression changed, and he finally realized that the guy in front of him was actually a madman who dared to kill people in public.
Although he didn't believe that the other party would dare to attack a real prince in such a place.
But...what if?
This guy is a real lunatic!
Aren't lunatics the ones who do things that ordinary people wouldn't dare to do? !
As a prince of the empire, worth millions of gold, how could I risk my life for such a trivial matter?
There are so many lovely experimental subjects waiting for him in the Saint Laurent Research Institute!
What's more, that guy seems to have some mysterious skills.
Otherwise, no matter how stupid Eunice was, she would not have picked up the gloves and accepted his challenge for a duel for no apparent reason.
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed across the Fourth Prince's eyes, as if he had kept this hatred in his heart.
The second prince, Felit, was quite interested in this: "Joshua, I never thought that one day you would lower your inexplicably proud head. It's really interesting."
His expression was relaxed, no longer as cold and indifferent as usual.
"Noisy."
The Fourth Prince frowned and said no more.
However, he hated Lin En, but Lin En also remembered him.
You're next, Xiao Deng.
He thought silently in his heart.
Next, while waiting for Hillina to meet Saint Laurent VI, the atmosphere in the atrium fell into a strange silence.
The Second Prince Felit's gaze remained on him from beginning to end, and it seemed that his understanding of Lin En had been refreshed once again.
The ninth princess, Aimesta, looked at him curiously, but whenever Lin En looked at her, she would subconsciously snort, baring her fangs and looking away.
As for Xia and the Saint of Silence in the distance, they were very close to each other and chatting intimately.
Although there was no physical contact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the relationship between the two was very close.
Seeing this, Lynn sighed and looked away unnoticeably.
However, the Silent Saint Tia in the distance lowered her head and whispered something to Xia, while frowning slightly.
A moment later, Hilina returned to the courtyard with a calm expression and informed the second prince Ferit to come for an audience.
Following closely behind were the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Princess.
It was not until dozens of minutes had passed that Saint Laurent VI finally seemed to remember Yvesette and sent someone to inform her.
Even Her Royal Highness the Princess herself seemed to be accustomed to it and had no objection to it.
Several other princes and princesses had the same expression.
Only Lin En took a deep breath and felt a little irritated for some reason.
He wanted to push Yvesette over, but an older maid came over and did the job for him.
"His Majesty only said he wanted to see the Third Prince."
The other person's expression was a little dull.
Hearing this, after a brief eye contact, Lin En had no choice but to wait where he was.
Instead, Ivisette whispered, "Wait for me to come back," and then she disappeared into the corridor in her wheelchair.
At this point, Lin En was the only one left in the entire atrium, facing several unfamiliar beings.
Although they were all characters he had seen in the original novel, Lin En still felt a little uncomfortable seeing them all appear before him at once.
By the way, the three women present, Hillina, Tia, and the ninth princess Aimesta, are all the future harem of the brave Xia.
It’s just that Aimestar’s plot level is slightly lower, only A-level. In the original book, she is also a supporting role and not very outstanding.
So Lynn didn't pay much attention.
As if sensing the silence in the atmosphere, an unexpected guy was the first to break the silence.
"Da da da"
Accompanied by the sound of crisp footsteps, a tall and graceful woman walked towards him.
Seeing that Hillina suddenly approached the guy he hated, Xia subconsciously stopped talking to Tia and turned his gaze to his boss.
Along with a strange but refreshing faint fragrance, Lin En suddenly saw a white and tender hand reaching out to him.
In his hand was a luxurious gold-stamped invitation.
“Tomorrow, when you’re free, you can ask Little Evie to bring you over to play.” Hillina’s expression was gentle, as if she had forgotten Lin En’s previous comments about her appearance. “It’s in my mansion, but it’s different from tonight. The people who come are all friends of the same age. It’s a private dinner party.”
Like a gentle older sister.
Normally, a man with normal physiological characteristics would be moved when seeing such a beautiful woman actively inviting him.
But Lynn is not a normal person.
He shook his head without hesitation: "Sorry, my prince doesn't allow me to talk to strange women outside."
Lynn seemed like a good and obedient child.
It's not that he's doing it for show effect.
It’s because that woman Yvesette really did tell me this.
Lin En didn't dare to think about what would happen if she found out later that he had accepted her enemy's invitation to a banquet without her permission.
What's more, why did this woman suddenly invite him?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Lin En had just returned to the imperial capital and didn't want to provoke these forces at will.
The Mosgra family and the Tenli Church alone would be enough to keep him busy for a while.
Hearing this, Hillina's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly reacted. She gently lifted up the long platinum hair hanging by her ears, her eyes sparkling and full of charm.
"It's okay, just pass it to her for me."
Having said that, Hillina revealed a touching smile, then turned and left.
After whispering a few words to Xia, the other party glanced here inconspicuously, and then the group left Elohet Palace and disappeared into the night.
Looking at that beautiful and graceful figure, Lin En took a deep breath and calmed the excitement in his heart.
Tell the truth.
This woman is really very beautiful.
If he had not seen the witch lady after the curse was removed and experienced a similar shock that went straight to the soul, he would probably have sunk into the woman's soft and quiet smile.
The most beautiful woman in the imperial capital is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a buff similar to "charm".
At this moment, Lynn suddenly heard the sound of a wheelchair being pushed.
Yvesette is back.
"Why did your highness invite that guy?"
On the return carriage, Xia asked somewhat confusedly.
Hillina held her rosy cheek and looked out the window nonchalantly.
After hearing her subordinate's question, she was silent for a moment, and then a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes.
Because this is what his father Calderon told him to do.
After meeting Saint Laurent VI, the other party made this request directly, asking her to try to get close to Lin En and get some secret hidden in him.
Although Hillina currently knows nothing about this, it is the emperor's order after all.
What's more, he promised her a considerable amount of Wangxuan score as compensation.
Although her first impression of the little guy was not very good, Hillina still decided to take on the task.
But right now, in front of her close subordinates, she didn't know why she didn't want to say it.
Perhaps he was afraid that Xia would overthink and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Seeing that Hillina fell silent, Xia stopped asking questions. After the carriage arrived at the destination, he got off and returned to the military headquarters.
"Good night, your highness."
Sia waved her hand and said goodbye to her gently.
Hilina smiled and said, "Good night to you too."
After watching Xia return to the military headquarters, Hillina ordered someone to drive away.
Now she was the only one left in the carriage, and everything suddenly became quiet.
As for Tia, when she left Elohet Palace, a nun came to pick her up.
After all, she is the Saint of Silence and has a very high status in the church.
The street scene outside the window was rushing backwards.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowly stopped in front of his mansion.
Just as Hillina was about to go back to soak in the hot spring to wash away her fatigue, she found a slender figure in a moon-white robe, standing at the door of the mansion with her legs together.
"Tia? What's wrong?"
After recognizing the other party's identity, although she was confused, Hilina still asked.
In a sense, the relationship between the two competitors can only be described as dull.
Hearing Hillina's active inquiry, for some reason, the elf girl, who should have been as cold and indifferent as a doll, showed a trace of hesitation in her eyes, which was extremely rare.
After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Can you give me two of those invitations?"
Xilina was a little surprised: "You want to attend this dinner? But I haven't heard of it."
"It was Brother Xia. He suddenly asked me when we were leaving. He seemed to want to participate."
Tia stood on tiptoe slightly, touching the ground with the tips of her boots, trying to make herself look as calm as usual.
So that's why, is it to accompany him?
Hillelina was not suspicious, and didn't even think Tia was lying.
Because the personality she displays on a daily basis is so indifferent that it is impossible for people to associate her with lying.
Looking at the two extra invitations in her hand, Tia took a deep breath.
"Want to come in and sit down?"
"No."
After rejecting Hillina's invitation, Tia left with a heavy heart.
After walking on the empty and deserted street for a long time, she finally let out a long breath.
In fact, she did deceive Hillina just now.
Xia had no idea that she would be attending the dinner party.
Even Tia was not going to tell him about this, but was planning to sneak into the dinner party by disguising herself.
The reason is simple.
This might be one of the few opportunities for her to get close to that annoying guy.
It's not that I have an obsession with him.
I'm just hesitant about the missing twelve years of memory.
She wanted to learn about her missing past through that damn guy, and she did not rule out the possibility of using some brutal and coercive means.
But, this was, after all, a private meeting with another man.
In the silent church and secular concepts, it is a manifestation of unchastity.
Even though Tia hated that man to the core, it was still inappropriate.
Therefore, she decided to keep it secret completely.
Just think of it as a little secret buried deep in your heart.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xia."
Under the moonlight, the girl whispered to herself with a heavy heart.
