Reject me, you damn woman.

There were no luxurious decorations, but neither was there a messy, life-like atmosphere like Historia's villa. Everything in the mansion gave people a just right sense of comfort. Even a prince like Behrens, who was used to a luxurious life, couldn't help but relax his tense nerves after entering the mansion.

The style of this building is the same as that of the Princess Royal of Fire Rose.

In a room on the second floor of the mansion, a tea party with an even warm atmosphere was taking place.

The four crown princes who had arrived sat on comfortable leather sofas on both sides. On the long table in the middle were placed some exquisite snacks, fresh fruits and three different types of hot tea.

The crown prince who was accompanied by his entourage was also given a seat and sat close to their master.

As Lin En expected, all the crown princes present, including Behrens who had not yet arrived, chose red as their main color.

Except for Historia, whom Lin En deliberately avoided, and someone at the end of the long table.

Sitting at the end of the long table, in the main seat, was a woman with a gentle temperament. She was wearing a silver dress with a slit. Her slender legs under the table were protected by a thin layer of white silk suspenders, and the high heels wrapped around her feet were also silver.

There was always a friendly smile on her face, and her bright light brown eyes were as charming as spring water.

However, what attracted Lin En the most was not these, but two other points.

One is the proud chest that almost hangs over the table. Compared with her other two sisters, it is hard not to wonder if the nutrition of the three princesses is concentrated on one person...

Another point is hair color.

Compared with the other princes and princesses who all have red hair, the princess sitting on the main seat, Hedwig, the royal sister recognized by all the crown princes, has pure silver hair.

Lin En's sister Quinn also has silver-white hair, but their temperaments are completely different.

Quinn's silver hair was bright and even sparkling, making her look mysterious and charming just like her, but Hedwig gave people a feeling of morbid weakness, which made people involuntarily want to slow down the tone and volume when speaking to this princess.

"What are you staring at?"

Historia was dissatisfied and secretly used her knee to hit Lynn beside her.

"nothing,"

Lynn calmly clamped Historia's white calf, causing the latter to let out a few threatening growls after trying several times to unsuccessfully to grab it back.

"It seems like you respect your royal sister very much."

"Hmph, that's about right. To be honest, only Hedwig could gather all these guys together. It is said that they even argued for a long time about where to start this party. In the end, it was only when Hedwig remembered her mansion that everyone reluctantly accepted it."

Historia said calmly.

"understood."

Lynn nodded.

"I will flip the table over in a moment, and you take advantage of the chaos to hold Hedwig hostage. The two of us will join forces to force others to acknowledge you as the next empress."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Of course not!"

Historia turned pale with fear.

"I'm just kidding."

Lynn said calmly.

Elena on the side could only smile politely but awkwardly, as if she really hoped she had not heard that conversation.

Just when Lin En said he wanted to overturn the table, a hand hidden under the table took out two black, round spherical objects and held them in the palm of his hand. The moment she saw the objects, Elena, who was a master of rare objects, began to frantically call the police, wanting Elena to throw the two objects away, the farther the better.

His other hand was constantly groping under the table, as if he was thinking about which angle to lift the table, which would be both cool and energy-saving.

This doesn't sound like a joke...

"That's really hard to please, so what are you going to do?"

Lynn asked.

"I said, I have no interest in this party or who will take the throne."

Historia said seriously,

"I came to this party just to hear news about my father, and..."

Her eyelids drooped.

"I hope they won't bother me, that would be best."

"Give me your tea."

Lynn suddenly said.

"There's a problem, isn't it?"

Historia was shocked. It was obvious that she trusted Hedwig very much, but thinking that these were Lin's words, Historia still did it.

"No, I'm just thirsty."

After drinking it all in one gulp, Lin En returned the teacup. Only then did Historia realize that she had been tricked and tried to pinch Lin En under the table with a red face.

"Haha, it seems that Xia gets along well with his friends."

When the two were secretly playing around, a gentle and kind reminder suddenly came, and the person who spoke was Hedwig who was sitting in the main seat.

Only then did Historia notice that the two people's little actions had been noticed by others.

However, except for Hedwig, the others had no intention of reminding the two.

The tall and burly man with short red hair sitting on Hedwig's right was none other than the second prince of Fire Rose, Roslet Bayer.

The second prince, who had the dignity of a soldier, simply turned his face away impatiently when faced with his younger sister's misbehavior.

Hilteria, who was sitting in the first position on the left, rested her chin on her hand and looked at the two of them with a playful expression, or to be more precise, at Lin En.

As for Prince Xavier, who was only slightly older than Historia, he was quietly drinking his green tea as if nothing had happened.

Historia blushed and sat up straight, while a thoughtful look flashed in Lin's eyes.

The muscular brute who can't hide his true feelings, the scumbag woman who I don't know if she's greedy for my body, the green tea guy... and the mama's boy outside the door.

And the prince sitting in the main seat who seems to be more difficult than anyone else.

The children of this Fire Rose Emperor are really different.

Just as Lin En was secretly calculating the situation in his mind, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Berens strode in and sat between the two princes.

He didn't seem to have any intention of apologizing for being late. He just glared at Lynn fiercely, then turned to Hedwig and nodded very reluctantly.

"it is good!"

Hedwig, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Now that everyone is here, let's finally officially start today's tea party!"

"First of all, we have to welcome our sister Xia back. Actually, everyone has been worried about you, but seeing that you have made some good friends in Zijinhua, we are finally relieved."

Hedwell raised her teacup to signal, but the others were a little uninterested. Berens and the second prince Roslet even showed impatient expressions.

However, Hilteria and Xavier, who had been grinning all the time, raised their glasses seriously and gestured to Historia.

"Then what happens next..."

"Hedwig, let's stop talking about meaningless things here."

Just when Hedwig was about to say something else, the second prince Roslet suddenly interrupted her coldly.

"Everyone's time is precious. If it's just a boring tea party like this, I'm sorry I can't accept it."

Hedwig, who was sitting in the main seat, was startled:

"But Xia..."

"Forget it, Sister Hedwig,"

Behrens regained his composure, sipped his tea, and began to speak.

"You know better than anyone why everyone is here today, don't you?"

"If you like these meaningless brotherly and fraternal activities, we can accompany you, but can you please schedule them after the real work is finished?"

Hilteria and Zevis didn't say anything either, which was considered as tacit approval of the two's behavior.

Historia wanted to say something, but Lynn held her hand under the table.

Hedwig was silent for a moment.

Then, she gently placed the still steaming teacup on the small saucer in front of her.

"All right,"

When he raised his head again, the prince's previous loss was instantly swept away, and his expression and aura also added a touch of capable and calm temperament.

"In that case, let's move directly to the part that everyone is more concerned about."

She glanced at everyone at the long table:

"My brothers and sisters, the purest and most outstanding descendants of this generation of the Bayer family, today, we gather here, and most people should know why."

All the crown princes remained silent, only Historia had a trace of confusion on her face.

Obviously, in her impression, this was just a party arranged by a respectable eldest sister who wanted to ease the relationship between the brothers.

But despite this, Historia still managed to control herself calmly. This was the only thing Lin En taught her in the past three days.

Moreover, she seemed to have vaguely guessed why it was.

What is it that can attract all of his brothers and sisters at once and make them drop everything and come without missing a single one?

Hedwig, who was sitting at the main seat, glanced around the room. Then, she took a deep breath and uttered two words that seemed to carry tremendous power:

"King's choice."

The tea party room, which had been filled with some noise, suddenly became silent.

King selection, king power!

The only thing that could forcibly bring together the conflicting crown princes in Rose City was the right to decide the throne of the most powerful empire on this continent.

As Lin En expected, after holding on for several years, the emperor's life seemed to be coming to an end.

The most important thing to do before an emperor dies is to elect the next emperor.

Wang Xuan.

These two words seemed to carry some kind of terrible weight, making people unconsciously solemn. Even Hedwig's clear and gentle voice seemed to carry some kind of sacred majesty after these two words:

"I follow the order of the Rose Emperor and respectfully invite all the gods to witness that among my brothers and sisters, the one who stands out will become the next Emperor of Fire Rose."

Some were impatient, some were watching coldly, and some were calm and indifferent. The moment Hedwig announced the true meaning of this party, different expressions appeared on all the crown princes, except for Historia. She looked like an outsider who had strayed into this place, with only panic and confusion on her face.

She tried to say something several times but no one paid any attention to her.

Everyone was distracted by those two words uttered by Hedwig, which seemed to have taken away their souls.

"Please come in, everyone."

Hedwig suddenly looked towards the door.

Everyone followed her gaze in confusion, and only Lin En smiled.

finally come!

Now, even if Celitia is very good at imagination, she can’t make it right!

The tightly closed door suddenly opened again, and five slim and capable beautiful women in nun uniforms walked in from outside.

They will also be witnesses and judges of this royal election.

Only gods are qualified to witness the birth of a new emperor of a powerful empire.

This is the real mission of the Rose Emperor, who was willing to pay a high price to invite this special delegation from the Theocracy!

"These five high-ranking clergymen from the Theocracy will serve as your judges and protectors in this competition."

Hedwig introduced.

The nun in the lead had long cherry-pink hair. She held a silver holy cross in her hand. Her extraordinary temperament made her look like a goddess descending to earth, which made people awe-inspiring.

That was Celitia, who treated Lin En like an elder sister. The other four were all high-ranking nuns from the Theocracy that Lin En had met in the Church of Mother Earth.

Even the most domineering and arrogant prince was shocked but did not raise any objection to this matter.

However, after a brief shock, Best immediately showed an expression of enjoying the show and chuckled.
