Reject me, you damn woman.

"It doesn't matter who offended whom. I have already told the general the important things. As for your doubts, I am just an old man in charge of sacrifices. It doesn't matter who is good or bad. You are the leader of His Majesty's direct troops. Don't you understand what is more important?"

"It's not about whose fault it is, it's about you apologizing."

"I don't have any selfish motives. I just don't want the Red Dragon Legion, which was once the elite force of His Majesty's direct line of troops, to be at odds with His Majesty in the future. General, do you understand?"

"Huh, I don't understand."

Hilta made up her mind.

"I'm just a soldier. What I hate most is going around in circles. If that's the case, I won't make it difficult. As long as His Highness Lin En comes to apologize to me, I will forgive him. I'm busy with military affairs, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you!"

After saying that, he left angrily, leaving the high priest rolling his eyes behind him.

As the saying goes, good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. The high priest has said everything he can and cannot say, but he is still like this. I really don’t know how he became the legion commander.

The quarrel between the two had attracted a lot of attention, and Lin En was also very curious, wondering what the two important ministers of the country were arguing about.

..........

.........

.........

After a while, Lynn left the banquet hall and wanted to go to the city wall to take another look.

At this moment, a tall figure stood in front of him.

Lynn's first reaction was to think it was Reinhardt, but then he looked at the red armor and realized it was General Hilta in red armor.

"It turned out to be General Hilta."

Lynn said coldly.

"Hmph! Your Highness Lin En, you've kept me waiting for so long. There were some misunderstandings between you and me tonight, and I just wanted to make it clear with Your Highness Lin En."

General Hilta also snorted coldly.

"General, what do you want to talk to me about? I was the one who killed that guy. I admit it. You can blame me if you have any grudges."

Lynn said calmly.

"In that case,"

Hilta nodded.

Then, the commander of the Red Dragon Legion knelt heavily on one knee in front of Lin En, like a golden mountain collapsing and a jade pillar collapsing:

"The misunderstanding has been cleared up. I apologize for offending Your Highness tonight. Please don't take it to heart."

Chapter 143: Lin En doesn't want to be the emperor, but he can be the emperor... (4.5k)

Without a little bit of precaution, there is no trace of worry,

General Hilta, kneel down.

He knelt so decisively, so neatly, so aggressively, and so majestically, without the slightest reluctance.

This kneeling, I feel happy and proud to meet a soulmate; the peach blossoms smile and reflect on the altar;

This kneeling is a generous act of serving the country and safeguarding the country; making contributions and showing off one’s talent!

It also directly answered a question raised by the high priest earlier - the Red Dragon Legion is full of elite soldiers and generals, including masters of even higher masters, so how could one of them get to the position of legion commander and become a trusted minister of the Empress mother?

This kneeling was so sudden that even Lin En, who had already simulated several scenarios in which Hilta would make things difficult for him in his mind, was stunned for a moment.

But soon, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips rose, as if he thought of something interesting:

"Oh~"

It seems that I have underestimated this legion commander.

Well, since the other party is so sincere, I must also show a corresponding attitude.

So, Lin En did nothing and just looked at Hilta who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

The latter was indeed patient, and the two of them, one kneeling and the other standing, blocked the entrance of the banquet hall.

During the process, servants kept coming and going in a hurry, and they couldn't help but cast their eyes over here curiously. However, when they saw the conspicuous scarlet armor and the smiling prince, they couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly quickened their pace and left.

The high priest, who was leaning on a cane, also slowly walked out of the banquet hall. After seeing this scene, his eyes twitched, but in the end he said nothing. He just stroked his beard, muttered something incomprehensible, and left.

Anyway, it's a bit dirty.

Lily's great-grandson was not anxious, but his great-grandfather was. When he saw Lin En playing the placement play, he was so anxious that he started to make a big fuss in his head:

"Hey, Lin En, what are you doing? Why don't you help the general up?"

"Why rush? Let him kneel for a while longer."

Lynn said slowly.

"Not in a hurry? Aren't you afraid that this guy will think you are humiliating him and get up and leave in anger?"

"Lily, is it possible?"

Lin En sighed inwardly.

"I was just humiliating him."

"what?"

Lily stretched out her tone in confusion.

Even from her point of view, Hilta was an outstanding general with good ability and a flexible approach.

When such a person surrenders, it would be fine if Lin En didn't accept him with sincerity, but he also humiliated him. Isn't this just pushing him away?

Lin En understood Lily's concerns, but in order to stop her from making a fuss in his head, he decided to explain a little:

"General Hilta wants to reconcile with me, and I welcome it. Although I am not the same as before, it is always a good thing to have one less enemy. However, I don't like his approach, that's all."

"He has already knelt down for you, and you still don't like it. Could it be that you want him to tie up his wife and give it to you?"

Lily said dissatisfiedly.

Lynn went on to explain:

"He can reconcile or kneel, but just now in the banquet hall, he had plenty of time and opportunities to come to me for reconciliation or kneel. At that time, I would definitely accept him warmly."

"But he didn't, and chose to block me outside the hall. Have you ever thought about why?"

"why?"

Lily wondered.

"Because he is sincere, but not sincere enough,"

Lin En smiled and squinted at Hilta, who was already a little anxious.

"He wanted to leave a very good impression on me and completely expose our conflict, but he also wanted to keep his dignity and not let others see it. To put it simply, this legion commander who can't be judged by appearance wants to sit on the fence."

"I can accept enemies, and I am willing to accept friends, but I don't need a friend who sits on the fence, that's all."

Lily stopped making noise and gradually quieted down.

She realized that this was the difference between Lynn and herself.

Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord.

However, perhaps it was precisely because he was too lenient and always forgave those guys' mistakes that the eight major families only remembered the word "rain and dew", and even did not care about the "thunder" in their hands, which led to many tragedies later.

Noticing that Lily was in a low mood, Lin En changed the subject:

"By the way, what does this have to do with his wife? Why did you just say that you wanted him to tie up his wife and send her to me?"

"what?"

Lily scratched her head and said:

"Didn't you say last time that you liked my elder sister..."

"cough!"

Lin En coughed heavily.

"Since you have spoken for him, let him stand up."

As he spoke, Lin En leaned over, held General Hilta's arms, and gently pulled him up:

"Uncle Hilta, please stand up quickly. You are a minister that my mother values ​​and a pillar of the empire. There are just some misunderstandings between us. I feel your sincerity, but it is unnecessary to do this. Your nephew is not able to take on this responsibility anymore."

Although Hilta was a little unhappy, at least she had the mask to cover it up, and Lin En was very respectful, so she had to force a smile and stood up along the steps Lin En gave her. But then, Lin En said casually as if it was nothing happened:

"I know Uncle Hilta is upset, but do you know who you were kneeling to just now?"

Hilta felt that he knew how to answer this question, so he hurriedly said:

"Your Highness, please understand. The person I kneel to is His Highness the Third Prince of the Empire. I kneel just now. As long as I can resolve the misunderstanding with Your Highness, I have no complaints in my heart."

"That's not right."

Hilta was startled and raised her head slightly, only to see Lin En looking straight at her, with an unfathomable light in his eyes, pausing for each word.

"The person you just knelt to is the man who will become the future emperor of Zijinhua."

"Gudong!"

Hilta felt her heart beating violently, and her knees went weak, and she almost knelt down again.

You must know that the current Empress is still in good health. In any country, if a prince says such things when the emperor is healthy, he would be dragged out and beheaded!

But Hilta changed her mind and realized that this was the Purple Gold Flower Empire, and the national conditions of the Dragon Blood Royal Family were naturally here.

Although Her Highness Novi is very good and works hard, he is not actually familiar with her, and her background is here, so she must be ruled out first. Then he thought about the future of the empire after His Highness or His Highness Quinn became emperor, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Or maybe His Highness Lin En should come down...

And then he thought again, His Highness Lin En actually said such words to him, doesn't this mean that he is not only willing to reconcile with him, but also completely regards him as his own?

This kneeling is a huge profit!

Immediately, Hilta knelt down again with great pleasure:

"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness. I will remember this. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, please let me know."

"That's good, but speaking of instructions, there is one thing I really need."

Lin En frowned slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"As your highness commands!"

Hilta quickly expressed her opinion.

"It's not a big deal, don't take it so seriously."

Lynn smiled and waved her hand.

"But, Uncle Hilta, I don't hate you. Even if you didn't come to reconcile with me today, I wouldn't keep it in mind. Do you know why?"

Hilta shook her head.

"Because you are not only loyal, but also a qualified soldier. I remember that when I was a child, you occasionally came to the palace and were one of the few people who did not discriminate against me and Novi. You even helped Novi pick up a kite hanging on a tree branch. She was very happy for a long time. I have always remembered this. Do you know what I mean?"

Hilta understood immediately:

"This is as it should be. I will take good care of Your Highness Novi in ​​the future, but..."

"Ok?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

"It's just that I remember that His Majesty Novi seems to be a member of the Shadow Knights now. The army and the Shadow Knights are interacting without His Majesty's orders, which seems a bit..."

Lynn said nothing, just smiled at him.

"I understand. It's not that the commander of the army is trying to get close to the Shadow Knight. It's just that as a retainer of Her Majesty the Empress, I will do my best to take care of Her Highness Novi. If Your Highness and Her Highness Novi need anything in the future, please feel free to ask!"

Lin En nodded and helped Commander Hilta up again. The smile on his face finally changed from a smile that seemed to hide a knife to a smile that came from the bottom of his heart:

"Uncle is not only a great military hero and a skilled fighter, but also extremely loyal. He is truly a pillar of the empire!"

"No, no, Your Highness, you are too kind, too kind!"

This loud conspiracy that blocked the palace gate ended with both parties, the guests and the hosts, having a great time, saying goodbye happily.
