Reject me, you damn woman.

As a witness to the imperial election, she would not really allow it to be postponed indefinitely.

All the crown princes believed that Hedwig would make the right decision when necessary, such as... reducing the number of participants in the royal election from five to four.

After some effort, he told Historia and Elena to go back to their residence first.

Historia snorted and complained a few words, but it was like scratching an itch and did not put any pressure on Lin En.

On the contrary, it was Elena who gently helped Lin En to adjust his tie and reminded him to come back early, which made Lin En feel a chill on his back for some reason.

After adjusting his posture, Lin En followed the cat maid back into the mansion.

However, this time, the two did not go into the secret room, but came to the reception room on the second floor of the mansion.

At this time, the eldest princess of Fire Rose, Hedwig, was standing by the window, looking out into the morning light.

The sunlight shone on her silver hair and slightly pale and tired cheeks, as if this slightly weak and sickly eldest sister of the imperial daughters would disappear at any time.

When Lin En walked into the hall, Hedwig turned around, regaining her peaceful smile, and pointed to the seat next to her with her white silk gloves:

"Ah, Prince of Zijinhua, you are here, please take a seat."

Lin En sat down on the chair without any hesitation, and let the cat maid pour him a cup of steaming hot black tea, then asked with a smile:

"Your Highness, you are coming back to see me now. Aren't you afraid of being offended by the stench of a salted fish like me?"

"You know, just now when the princes were meeting, Historia suggested that I should just flip the table, take you down, and force the other crown princes to recognize her status as heir. I was quite tempted."

"Your Highness Lin En is joking, but I'm not worried."

Hedwig smiled softly,

"Because Pearl is awesome."

"Yeah, I'm strong~"

After pouring the tea, the cat-man maid also made a muscle-flexing movement that was not serious at all, but rather very cute. She released her aura a little and turned out to be a sixth-level knight. However, considering the clever and swift characteristics of the cat-man race, it would be more appropriate to call her an "assassin" rather than a "knight".

At this distance, no matter whether Lin En wanted to chant arcane spells or use magical items, the sixth-level Catwoman could instantly cut Lin En's throat at a faster speed.

"Well, Pearl, now, please leave for a while."

Hedwig suddenly said again.

"Hey, then Pearl is...eh?"

The cat maid tilted her head and wagged her tail in confusion.

"It's okay. If anything unexpected happens, His Highness Lin En will protect me, right?"

Hedwig smiled and looked at Lynn.

"Except if the danger is mine."

Lynn said without changing his expression.

The cat maid's big ears fluttered, but she still did not disobey Hedwig's order and left, looking back every few steps.

It was not until the door was closed that Hedwig looked at Lynn again:

"Well, this hall is also isolated by a barrier. Even if Pei'er has super hearing, she won't be able to hear our conversation as long as I don't release the barrier."

Lynn didn't say anything, just waited quietly for what was to come.

Sure enough, after finishing her explanation, Hedwig crossed her hands in front of her belly, lowered her head slightly, and continued to speak in a voice as calm as the gurgling of water, saying something that seemed like thunder to outsiders.

"Then, what should I call you? Are you the destroyer of the Magic Bell Tower's large-scale attack on the Purple Gold Flower Plan, the Spring Cup champion of Eden College, the one who assisted His Majesty the Red Dragon in eradicating the eight major families, the only challenger and winner of the Holy Dragon Holy Trial in a hundred years, or......"

A ray of light flashed through the half-closed, beautiful light brown eyes:

"Where is Lord Lin, one of the twelve rings of the Magic Bell Tower, the eighth-ring peak arcanist, the Shadow Queen, and the executioner of Mordiana?"

The truth that the Shadow Knights had deliberately concealed was told to her by the princess as if she knew everything about it.

As the actual half-controller of the Fire Rose Empire, the eldest princess is naturally not a mediocre and gentle person. Her intelligence network is denser than that of her brothers, and she knows more.

Hedwig deliberately spoke of these titles and achievements in great detail and slowly, while carefully observing Lynn's expression.

Unlike her brothers, she absolutely believed in her sources of information, but she also had a bit of curiosity.

Because the value of this record is too brilliant and too heavy.

If it was really Lin En who did all of this, he was not just the creator of a miracle, he was like... the miracle himself.

If the owner of this record was the former "Storm Front" Gust, or the "Silver Backward" Soljana, or even the "Miracle Master" Holly or the Red Dragon Queen Divira herself, Hedwig would not have so much extra curiosity.

However, the person who accomplished each of these remarkable feats only had four rings in his rank record.

Moreover, according to the result of Hedwig's questioning of a court arcanist hidden in the mansion, Lin En had just broken through the bottleneck of the fourth ring not long ago, and even his breath was not very stable.

In other words, most of the time when he completed these achievements, he was at the third ring, or even at a lower level.

"That last one, isn't true."

Facing Hedwig's slightly burning gaze, Lin En said calmly without changing his expression.

Another meaning of this sentence is that all of them are true except the last one.

Hedwig lowered her eyelids and said nothing, somewhat shocked, but also somewhat expected.

This prince of Purple Gold Flower, who saw through the loopholes in the rules and was able to single-handedly become enemies of all his brothers and sisters, was indeed as hidden as expected.

But there are some things that, even if you already know them, you will still be shocked when you hear the person himself admit it.

Another part that was expected came from Lynn's denial and relief of the last achievement.

The Executioner of Mordiana......

With a three-ring body, he defeated the eight-ring professional known as "demigod".

This achievement was a bit exaggerated even for a mortal like Hedwig who was not familiar with the arcane.

That is the ring, the living ring, the invincible existence in the invincible tower.

Moreover, for Mordiana who has mastered the changes in the properties of "shadow" and "space", whether it is the dark valley forbidden to humans or the volcanic lava, for her, it is a place that she can walk to as easily as flat ground.

Even for the Red Dragon Queen, who defeated her opponent and successfully killed him, it must have been the result of the whole country's all-out efforts.

"I just beat her half to death. I didn't stab her with the knife."

Lynn said honestly.

Hedwig's hand trembled again, and some tea spilled onto her white dress.

"Your Highness Lin En, I'm not kidding you."

Hedwig forced a smile.

"I'm not kidding either."

Lynn was serious.

"I thought you knew everything."

Hedwig couldn't help but fall silent.

As the princess with real power who maintains the operation of the empire, Hedwig deals with the most cunning liars and the most flattering guys every day. Therefore, she is quite confident in her judgment of lies.

However, Hedwig didn't sense any lie from Lin En's expression or tone just now.

Using the power of three rings, he beat an eight-ring demigod warrior half to death. This prince's most ridiculous and unbelievable information, which was also the only one that made Hedwig doubt the authenticity of her source of information, was actually true? !

Not only that, Hedwig even heard a hint of regret in Lynn's tone.

In other words, the opponent really felt a little regretful that he didn't kill an eighth-ring demigod alone when he was at the third ring!

For a moment, Hedwig didn't know what expression to use to face Lin En.

"I see."

After a long time, Hedwig spoke with some difficulty.

"I really want to say you are worthy of me, but my subconscious mind doesn't even want me to believe that you are telling the truth."

"It's okay. It's human nature."

Lynn consoled.

"........"

Although he was comforting himself, Hedwig always felt that he was pretending.

"Then, Your Highness, can you now explain to me the real reason why you invited me here?"

"Of course no problem."

Hedwig nodded.

"My original plan was to discuss with you. In exchange for paying an appropriate price and making a promise, I hoped that you would stop interfering in matters related to the imperial election."

"original?"

Lynn caught a key word.

"Yes, originally."

Hedwig nodded her head.

"But now, I have changed my mind."

She suddenly paused and swallowed lightly, as if she was adjusting her state of mind, or as if she was making some kind of decision.

After a long while, she looked at Lin En and said softly:

"Are you interested in adding to your incredible record?"

"for example?"

Lynn asked.

"for example,"

Hedwig turned to Lynn, and her light brown eyes, which seemed to be soft and gentle because of her congenital weakness, flashed with a spirit and light that had never been seen before, blazing and dangerous, and a sickly blush appeared on her face.

"What about hunting down another ring?"

Lin En was silent for a while. Then, instead of rejecting the question, he asked:

"Then what do I get?"

"Don't worry, I will offer you a higher price than Xia invited you to."

As if she had anticipated Lynn's question, Hedwig answered it very quickly.

"Everything."

"All I know, all I can do."

"Even if it's the answer Xia wants to know, or even helping her cheat in the imperial election, it's fine."

A hint of blush flashed across that almost transparent white face again, but it was not the kind of blush that was caused by excitement and was morbid.

Hedwig suddenly made an extremely bold move.

She stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the back of Lin En's hand that was placed on the table. Her thumb gently, awkwardly, and tremblingly scratched the depression in Lin En's palm.

Before he had time to enjoy the cool and warm touch through the white silk gloves, Lin En heard the shy voice of this delicate and restrained princess, who tried hard to suppress it, saying:

"Even if you want me to accompany you for one night, that's fine~"

Chapter 175: There are no slaves around Lin En! (4.5k)

Lynn has always believed that Mendel plus some damn peas is greater than the theory of evolution.

One father cannot give birth to too many different kinds of offspring.

Especially the two sisters Hilteria and Historia, who look like small and large sizes carved from the same mold.
