Stop hypnotizing me, villain princess!

Chapter 182 I do not accept your proposal! (7k)

The moment he heard the plot deviation decrease, Lin En's heart was overwhelmed by endless anger and disappointment.

At this moment, he tightly grasped Ivisette's soft and boneless little hand, and pressed it against the wall as if he had used up all his strength.

This feeling almost made him lose his mind.

Before he was arrested, he repeatedly told me to trust him.

Even though we've been through so many things, I thought we'd already developed a minimum level of tacit understanding.

I clearly thought that the relationship between me and her might have gone beyond the boundaries between subordinates and superiors.

But in the end, this stupid, stubborn and arrogant woman still chose the path that the world will was happy to see.

It completely ruined his plan.

It was as if he had worked hard all day long and smiled at his boss and clients, and when he got home after finishing his work and earning overtime pay, he saw his wife showing off her new 20,000 yuan bag to him.

I'm almost having a cerebral hemorrhage.

Lynn took a deep breath.

Right now, he is not only angry because the deviation of the plot may affect the future witch lady.

More importantly, it was because of Ivester's distrust of him.

This is a very strange idea.

It's obvious that the person he has always been loyal to is the witch lady.

But why was he so upset by the "cheating" of this woman, Yvesette?
Lynn's grip gradually tightened.

Yvesette, who was already feeling pain, suddenly had tears in her eyes.

"Lin, you hurt me."

Her Royal Highness, who is usually dignified and majestic, seems to be acting like a spoiled child at this moment.

After all, the other party is a girl.

Hearing this, Lin En subconsciously softened his heart and loosened his hand involuntarily.

But the next second, when he saw a hint of pride and teasing in the woman's eyes, he suddenly became furious again.

How could a sixth-level demigod with such strong body feel so much pain just because of a casual pinch from a second-level self?

This lying bastard woman!
Even though Yvesette gave him a way out, he had no intention of letting the matter go easily.

Lynn stretched out his hands again and pressed Yvesette's shoulders, pushing them against the wall.

At the same time, he spoke in a cold tone.

"Can't we even have the most basic trust between us?" He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and stared into those bright red eyes. "Or did you never think of trusting me from the beginning? Hmm?"

At this moment, Lynn's expression was very gloomy.

This was a look that Yvesette had never seen before.

Even though he had threatened to die in front of her before, and even took the initiative to reveal the existence of the Witch of the End, this guy never lost his composure and always gave people a feeling that he was sure to win.

Only just now, I don’t know if it was because he heard Congressman Black say that he had paid the price for him, that he showed such a vulnerable side.

"Answer me! Don't you believe I can solve this problem?!"

Seeing that Yvesette didn't say anything, Lynn shook her shoulders vigorously.

The long black hair that was originally tied behind her head was scattered and fell on her shoulders due to the continuous pushing and shaking.

This also made the princess, who had been dignified and noble just now, look a little more fragile.

Now the situation has reversed, as if he is the one in a superior position, scolding the woman in front of him.

Under normal circumstances, this would be unimaginable.

Seeing Lin En showing such an angry expression for the first time, Yvesette was silent for a long time, then she gently tidied her long hair by her ears and slowly raised her head.

Although she was usually the one on top, Iviste knew very well that the relationship between her and Lin En had long surpassed that of an ordinary master and servant, and her feelings for him were extremely deep.

Therefore, even though she was pressed against the wall by Lin En in an offensive manner, she did not feel angry.

Not only that, I felt vaguely touched in my heart.

Because only when one is extremely concerned will one make such a defensive move.

She could sense from Lin En's subtle body memory that even though he had lost all memories related to him, he still subconsciously expressed such thoughts.

Thinking of this, she retracted the teasing look she had just given him.

"Of course I believe you can handle this." Yvesette smiled slightly. "As my most outstanding and lovely subordinate, how could you lose to those bug-like guys?"

She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked Lynn's cheek.

Lin En's expression froze: "Then you."

"Kiss me and I'll tell you."

Her Royal Highness the Princess gently touched Lin En's lips with her cool and delicate index finger.

His rage, which had been subsiding, rose again: "Yvesette!!!"

"Just kidding." Ivisette withdrew her index finger in time. "Rather, it is precisely because I have great faith that you can do this that I made this choice."

Lin En stared into those bright red eyes, and after confirming that she was not lying, he whispered, "Why?"

He didn't understand.

Since I believe I can meet her expectations, why do I have to let things go to this extent?

No wonder Lynn was so defensive.

The plot deviation that we worked so hard to improve was reduced again just because of one or two seemingly insignificant choices. No one can stand it.

Hearing Lin En's question, Yvesette smiled softly: "Let me go first. Don't worry, I won't run away."

After a moment, Yvesette, who had regained her freedom, raised her hands and straightened Lin En's messy collar, like a caring wife.

At the same time, she said softly: "Speaking of which, I am really not qualified to be a master. I always put you in the most dangerous situations, and you are always covered in bruises."

"If that guy hadn't reminded me, I might not have realized this."

Time goes back to last night, at Bart Leon's mansion.

"Solve the case within three days?" In the reception room, Yvesette's expression was icy. "Who made this request? I'd like to ask them in person."

It was obvious that he and Lin En had just returned to the imperial capital a few days ago, and even the handover procedures for the Xing Ye people had not been completed, and there was no buffer time.

As a result, these guys insisted on using this point to severely punish Lin En for dereliction of duty.

For a moment, the atmosphere became silent and solemn.

Sensing Ivester's anger, the fourth prince Joshua, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, gently put down the teacup in his hand.

"Dear Third Sister, it's useless for you to get angry at me." A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pushed up his glasses. "This is the unanimous opinion of those old guys in the Imperial Parliament. It's not decided by me."

"Although I don't like your subordinate, there is no doubt that I am only ranked fifth in the King's Selection. It is impossible for me to command them."

"I'm afraid even if Felit went there in person to plead for mercy, the result wouldn't change."

In fact, this is something that everyone knows.

Because of fear, various means must be used to weaken Ivester's power.

If you want to blame someone, blame her for this terrifying innate power.

People often lose more inadvertently after gaining a lot.

"."

Hearing this, Yvesette took a deep breath, trying to calm her anxiety and dissatisfaction.

Whenever she returned to the imperial capital, she would be overwhelmed by this feeling of powerlessness and anger, unable to escape.

It is an invisible constraint called rules and order.

I thought that with Lin En's help on the return trip, this feeling would be much less severe.

I never thought that just one day away from me would bring so many troubles.

Having said that, at this point, Yvesette didn't feel ashamed of relying on Lynn.

"You came to me today not just to inform me of this matter, right?" She said calmly, "Tell me, what else did those old guys promise?"

"Third sister, you seem to have matured a lot during this trip to the border."

The fourth prince Joshua pushed up his glasses and stared at the other person.

Yvesette said nothing, her expression cold.

Seeing this, he smiled slightly: "In that case, I won't keep you in suspense."

"In addition to solving the limb-replacement case within three days, the old guys in the Imperial Parliament have given you another option."

"You should be familiar with the Tomb of Heremus, right?"

Hearing this location, Yvesette's eyes narrowed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Joshua brought it up in front of her tonight, just after chatting with Hillina.

She always felt that the whole thing was like a big net, which blocked all her escape routes without her realizing it, and then slowly tightened until she could not move.

"Due to the special nature of this mausoleum, they believe that they should not continue to invest manpower in exploring it, but should hand it over to someone who is good at handling such incidents, that is, you, Third Sister."

"After all, you have been playing this role all along."

"You can think of it as an exchange, or you can think of it as a commission."

"In short, as long as you go to the Tomb of Heremus in person, no matter whether the task is accomplished in the end, they will no longer threaten the life of your subordinate in any name or by any means."

"Not only that, the parliament will also take the initiative to lift the blockade on the Bartleron family's power and help them return to the military."

"The conditions are very tempting. I hope you will consider it carefully."

As the head of the Saint Laurent Research Institute, the fourth prince Joshua is very interested in the things inside the Heremus Mausoleum, and can even use it to solve many imminent problems.

Therefore, he particularly hoped that the Imperial Parliament could force Yvesette to take action.

As the words slowly fell, the atmosphere became silent for a moment.

The fourth prince Joshua was not in a hurry. He waited quietly and picked up the teacup to take a sip.

He was confident of this and didn't think Yvesette would refuse the proposal.

However, after a moment, the woman opposite suddenly chuckled.

"I'm sorry, but I decline this offer."

Yvesette gently lifted her long hair by her ears, looking a little lazy.

Joshua’s brows furrowed instantly, as if he couldn’t believe the answer.

Could it be that the intelligence is wrong?
This woman doesn't actually care much about that guy's safety?

Joshua's hands clenched involuntarily.

"Why?" he whispered, "Can you tell me why you refuse?"

Hearing this, Yvesette said calmly: "The reason is very simple."

"Because I promised to trust him."

"Is that why?"

Joshua seemed to find this a little ridiculous.

"Isn't it enough?"

Yvesette frowned, seeming a little puzzled.

This time, it was Joshua who fell silent.

Obviously, he did not overestimate the relationship between the master and servant, but greatly underestimated the tacit understanding between them.

"If there's nothing else, you can go."

Yvesette mercilessly ordered them to leave.

However, Joshua sighed softly.

I didn't originally want to use this trick.

But it seems that apart from this method, I have no other means to force her to make up her mind.

If his terrible and hateful second brother Felit had not suddenly come to him and said a lot of nonsense before he came, he would probably be helpless now.

Joshua also asked why the other party did this.

The answer was simple: Because it would be fun.

After leaving these words, Felit walked away.

"What are you still doing here?"

Just then, Yvesette's impatient words brought Joshua back to reality.

"Wait a moment, Third Sister." He took a deep breath, "Before I leave, I have a few words to say to you."

"speak."

Yvesette stared at her slender fingers and said lightly.

"You seem to have an extraordinary level of trust and reliance on Lynn Bartleron, and judging by the results, he has been able to respond to your expectations perfectly every time."

“This is actually something that is very enviable.”

After hearing these words, although Yvesette still looked nonchalant on the surface, her mood brightened a lot.

However, Joshua suddenly changed the subject.

"Think about it carefully. Everything he did along the way put the safety of you and the people around you first."

"It seems that as long as you are safe, he can do anything."

"For example, at the Duke of Tyrvus's dinner party, was it really because he couldn't suppress his anger that he boldly shot and killed the heir of the Mosgra family? Was it not to help you out, or to seize the opportunity to make friends with the Elector?"

"For example, in the Wishing Jar Riot incident, although we still don't know why he survived, he must have suffered a lot, and it's not something that can be easily dismissed with just one sentence."

"And that night in the Council Hall, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he wanted to help you establish your authority, so he killed Eunice in public. Even though he might be sentenced to death afterwards, he still did it."

"And the result of doing so is that we will have to endure the desperate revenge of the Mosgra family and the slander of those old guys in the Imperial Parliament."

"Also, I heard that when he was found at the murder scene, there was a deep wound on his chest. If it had been a few inches off, it would have pierced his heart?"

"Who do you think did this?"

"Someone with bad intentions hired a killer to extinguish his excessive brilliance? Or something else?"

These words made Yvesette's hands freeze in mid-air.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I want to say that maybe he does have a way to solve this major case that has been unsolved for more than a year in just three days."

"But a person's style of doing things will not change easily."

"So I guess that even if he could do this, given his personality, he would definitely use some extraordinary means."

"And the result of this method will inevitably put him in an extremely dangerous situation, just like it has always been."

"He himself never seemed to notice it, because it was an extremely noble and great sacrifice."

"And you, Third Sister, relied on him too much and even regarded him as someone who would respond to your every request. As a result, you unconsciously overlooked this point and only thought that he would always be able to resolve the current predicament at any time."

"This deformed and twisted relationship is really scary if you think about it carefully."

When Lynn came to his senses, Yvesette had already broken free from his arms and was standing in the corridor not far away.

Because I care, I make this choice.

Rather than putting others in danger, she would rather face the danger and the unknown herself.

Moreover, in order to remove the curse on her face, she herself planned to go to the Tomb of Hermes.

As a sixth-order demigod, her tolerance for mistakes is much higher than that of a mere second-order transcendent.

"Whether you are angry or helpless, it has already happened." Ivester smiled gently, "Don't worry, it's just a small mausoleum. This princess has dealt with too many similar incidents since she was a child. Everything is under control."

You are lying.

Following the fluctuations of the Liar Eater, Lynn instantly judged that Yvesette was not as confident as she appeared to be.

Not only that, a picture suddenly flashed through my mind.

In the room, the woman bathed in moonlight had a sad expression on her face, with a helpless tear faintly running down the corner of her eye, as if she was telling him something.

When did this happen?

Lynn pressed his slightly aching brain, but felt at a loss as to what to do with this sudden memory.

But right now, I don't have the time to think about such unimportant things.

Lin En, who had read the original novel, knew very well that the Tomb of Heremus was an extremely dangerous place and should not have been released at this time.

The only explanation is that the invisible hand of the world's will is controlling everything in secret.

It even subtly changed the choice made by Yvesette.

At the moment, she has not absorbed the core characteristics of the Wishing Jar, so she did not fall into a deep sleep.

Therefore, the corrective power of the world's will is leading her towards another trap.

Tomb of Hermes.

As soon as he entered it, Lin En could tell with his butt that even if everything was prepared carefully, there would still be various loopholes.

The only result of these mistakes was that Ivester fell into a deep sleep again.

After all, this is in line with the development of the main storyline of the original work.

The first time the plot deviation decreased was because Ivester had the idea of ​​killing all the Punishers.

If she had really taken action at that time, the Imperial Parliament would not even need to take Lin En as a hostage. They could have legitimately held her accountable and sent her to the Tomb of Heremus.

This is the first sign that the plot line is returning to normal.

As for the second time, it was just now.

Councillor Black announced Ivester's choice in public and voluntarily agreed to go to the Tomb of Heremus.

And what did I do between these two events to prevent the plot from deviating further?

The answer is simple.

After all, going to the Tomb of Heremus was a challenge posed by the Imperial Parliament.

And, from the beginning, they were given two different options.

First, solve the case within three days.

Second, Yvesette went to the tomb herself.

However, in order to protect him, Her Royal Highness the Princess took the initiative to rule out the first option, which played into the hands of the Imperial Parliament.

So, what needs to be done is actually very simple.

When he came to his senses, the princess had disappeared from his sight, as if she wanted him to calm down and accept this established fact.

After a moment of silence, Lin En slowly walked out of the door of the Punisher headquarters.

At a glance, the eldest princess was whispering something with Xia and others, while Yvesette and Eleanor were looking forward to seeing Lynn beside the carriage on the opposite street.

As for Congressman Black, he slowly walked down the steps surrounded by his entourage.

At this moment, only Lin En was standing alone at the top of the steps of the Mandated Punisher headquarters, looking down at everyone.

He looked very calm, as if he was thinking about something.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

It was the fourth prince Joshua who arrived late.

"It's great that the matter was finally resolved perfectly."

He sounded very happy.

So far, it seems that the whole thing is going the way he expected.

After all, he and Lynn had always been at odds with each other, and he had previously used his sister Eleanor as an experimental subject and drawn a lot of blood from her.

And Yvesette was one with him, and now that there was an opportunity to weaken her, Joshua was naturally happy to see this happen.

What's more, with Yvestre as a pathfinder, he will be able to start research on the Tomb of Heremus soon.

As for her own safety, although they are siblings, the royal family members have always had little affection for each other.

Therefore, apart from treating Yvesette as a tool like his father, Joshua had no soft-hearted thoughts.

He even sincerely hoped, like countless nobles in the imperial capital, that she would die in the Tomb of Heremus.

So how could he not be happy about it now?
Speaking of which, the idea of ​​being afraid of this guy in front of me because of Eunice's death was extremely ridiculous.

After all, he is a noble prince!

Thinking of this, Joshua smiled slightly, then walked past Lynn and headed down the stairs.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"You seem very pleased with yourself?"

Joshua paused and looked back.

However, after saying this, Lin En did not continue to focus on him and quickly looked away.

"Senator Black, please stay."

Lynn raised her voice slightly.

For a moment, everyone's attention was once again focused on the black-haired boy at the top of the stairs.

Councilman Black, who was about to get into the carriage, frowned slightly when he heard this, then stopped and looked up at him.

Tell the truth.

This feeling of being looked down upon made him somewhat unhappy.

"Lynn Bartletleon, do you have anything else to say?"

Councillor Black said calmly.

In the distance, Hilina also gave him a confused look and stopped talking to her subordinates.

Only Ivisette was a little stunned, and had a bad premonition in her heart.

She was about to cross the street and walk towards Lin En, but she heard him speak first: "Has the proposal of the Imperial Parliament been implemented in the contract?"

Although it is a commission, it is impossible to be finalized with just two verbal sentences.

On the one hand, the Imperial Parliament would not trust Yvestre's promise so easily. On the other hand, Yvestre was also strongly wary of these old guys.

Therefore, a contract with strong binding force is extremely necessary.

However, these extraordinary items often require a long preparation time.

Therefore, Lynn speculated that the proposal was currently only implemented verbally.

as predicted.

After a moment, Councillor Black said, "The original scheduled time was three days later. If you are in a hurry, then..."

"No, not at all." At this moment, the condescending young man shook his head, "Rather, there are too many loopholes in it, so I don't accept this proposal."

"Don't accept it?" A hint of absurdity appeared in Councillor Black's eyes. "If you don't accept it, you must solve the case of the limb transplanter within three days."

"If you fail to do so, you will be held accountable in a way that has never been done before in Parliament."

"For those who commit serious dereliction of duty, the only outcome they face is the death penalty."

"Okay, I agree."

Lynn spoke without hesitation.

Seeing this, Congressman Black had a vague feeling that things were about to develop beyond his original expectations.

His voice gradually became a little cold: "You have to think carefully. The deadline given by the parliament is only three days."

These words were meant to threaten Lin En, trying to make the other party back down.

After all, the only result that everyone wants to see is to let Yvestre go to the Tomb of Heremus to weaken her power.

Unexpectedly, on the high platform, Lin En suddenly laughed out loud: "Why three days? Councillor Black, you underestimate me too much, don't you?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Councillor Black couldn't help but frown deeply.

"I mean this case can be solved now."

(ps: Don’t worry, start killing immediately!)
