Reject me, you damn woman.

If other arcanists were faced with this situation, they might be able to burn a few unruly people to death and really open a path out, but Roshar couldn't do that, he was the court arcanist!

The court arcanist is equivalent to the facade that the royal family has been promoting for a long time. How can a facade use fire to burn its own people?

If Rosaire really dares to do this, the propaganda agencies of other forces will laugh in their dreams.

Not to mention that this is Rose City, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is also accompanied by guards. The alarm may be a false alarm. Even if he really did save the emperor, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the Fire Rose Royal Family will inevitably cut ties with him and may even hold him accountable.

Therefore, faced with these people who refused to give way, Rosaire actually... really had no idea what to do!

It's not worth risking your life for a person who gets a fixed salary.

However, the reactions of these people are still somewhat puzzling.

Logically speaking, if a civilian doesn't piss himself with fear when seeing an arcanist threatening him, he would be considered brave. Even if there is money to be gained, he should not be so greedy as to put his life at risk.

"Damn it, why do all the bad things happen to me!"

Rosaire couldn't help but curse.

However, this was not the worst. Suddenly, the communication ring lit up again, and it was Her Royal Highness the Princess's number one bootlicker, her colleague, the court arcanist Ailijia.

"damn it!"

Rosaire had no choice but to curse and choose to take a detour.

At the same time, on a rooftop, several nuns wearing masks and tight black combat uniforms were performing holy magic in an orderly manner.

There were two teams with clear division of labor. One team released the sacred art [Concealment], while the other team released the sacred art [Encouragement] to the people.

"ha,"

A nun shook her head in displeasure.

"We are the elites. Are we dispatched urgently just to do something like this?"

"Are you satisfied? It is said that this is for Brother Lin. It is said that Lady Celitia was originally prepared to go out personally."

Another nun consoled her.

"what did you just say?"

"Originally Celidia......"

"last sentence."

"It is said that this is for Brother Lin..."

"Woo woo woo, don't be afraid, brother. I will protect you. Let this idiot arcanist take the blame!"

"That's enough, stop fooling around, this is a mission, be serious!"

The nun standing at the front of the team frowned.

"Did you guys sense any discomfort just now?"

The other nuns looked at each other.

"Captain, you are too serious."

"That's right, there's no uncomfortable smell at all."

After listening to his companions, the captain shook his head helplessly.

Maybe I was really too nervous and had hallucinations.

Just now I actually thought I sensed the breath of the blasphemer.

In the corner of a dark alley, several figures were moving through the shadows.

"Are you crazy? You just cast [Degradation of Intelligence] on that court arcanist. Aren't you afraid that he will discover us?"

One person accused angrily.

"Hehehe, these guys are in cahoots with the church's lackeys. I saw a church dog upstairs keeping watch for him. I just hate that I won't [die instantly]."

"That's right, go back and report, hehehe!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

.......

Just like that, a parade ruined Rosaire's dream of saving the emperor. When he gathered his strength and prepared to take a detour to the mansion, Hedwig, who had been exposed by Lynn, had already fallen into despair:

"You said... no one would come. How, how is that possible?"

"Then how do you explain why, even after such a long time since the ban was triggered, no one has come?"

Lynn said slowly.

"~"

Hedwig groaned in despair, and then she stared at Lin En, her beautiful eyes gradually widening, as if she had thought of a possibility:

"So you knew this a long time ago, right?"

"Correct."

Lynn nodded.

"You just did that to me...was that all intentional?"

Hedwig's voice trembled:

"Why didn't you warn me?"

"Yeah, why?"

Lin En tilted his head, and suddenly, looking at the princess who was on the verge of collapse, he smiled with evil taste, and delivered a final heavy attack:

"Maybe it's because it feels so good, so I don't really want it. Besides, it was you who didn't agree to the settlement, wasn't it?"

"Woo~"

Under this smile, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had persisted for a long time and held her bottom line for a long time, could no longer bear it and broke through.

If she was still conscious, she would definitely use any action to express her anger, even biting Lin En with her teeth.

But now, having lost all her rationality, Hedwig just followed her instinct and the depths of her soul, she put her arms around Lynn's shoulders, and then... kissed her fiercely and angrily.

"Your Highness, please don't be like this..."

Lin En tried to play it safe, but what he got in response was a more passionate and awkward kiss from the princess, which even kissed his teeth, which was really too much for him.

In a sense, this was a big bite to Lynn.

However, it doesn’t matter whether the court mages will arrive in time next.

.........

At the same time, on the rooftop behind the mansion, a handsome guy finally arrived at this place closest to the mansion, where he could observe the situation inside the mansion.

"You are a waste, a piece of trash, a worthless pig, an idiot who peed his pants playing with fire, hurry up, hurry up, why is His Highness's alarm even more serious!"

The voice of the court arcanist Ailijia, which was so anxious that it sounded like tears, could be heard from the communication ring.

Rosaire was unusually silent:

"I am just glad that I was stopped by someone just now and didn't catch up in time and couldn't stop His Highness."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Are you here yet? What is Her Highness doing? Is she okay?"

The voice in the ring asked uncomfortably and doubtfully.

“Maybe…”

Roshar has already sensed several other extraordinary auras, which should be scouts sent by other forces.

Therefore, he felt that he should modify His Highness's behavior.

But he really couldn't think of any other appropriate words to describe this scene that mobilized half of Rose City and caused several forces to risk their lives to send out scouts to watch.

So he decided to tell the truth:

"Let's have an affair."

The communication ring was hung up immediately.

Obviously, someone's defense was breached.

..........

The next day, a report titled "Shocking! The eldest daughter of the Fire Rose Emperor was secretly doing this with a strange man!" made headlines in the newspaper.

Unfortunately, a few more people broke through.

Chapter 178: Lin En is an easy man to take down (6.5k)

Hedwig seldom felt that the waking world could be so relaxing.

For the eldest princess of the Fire Rose Empire, her childhood ended when she left her cradle and was infused with a soul guardian seal by her father, who had high hopes for her.

Because she is a "contingency plan", a "backup", and the eldest princess who is being trained as an heir, but she will never be the real heir to this empire.

As a mortal, she should never be qualified to touch the royal power, but when her arrogant father fell, she, as a mortal, dramatically became the best keeper of the treasure of "royal power".

He must guard the secret treasure called "power" handed to him by his father from the hands of ambitious politicians, sinister lords, treacherous allies or other enemies until the next "king" who can succeed him appears.

Then, she willingly gave up the throne and gave all the flowers and cheers to the true queen who was chosen by destiny and could bear the weight of the Fire Rose Empire and the Bayer royal family for a thousand years. She disappeared into the dim and dark place in the forest like a withered leaf that fell naturally, and returned to dust.

This is what Hedwig is destined to experience, a life script that has already been planned.

Almost no one believed that this young girl could run a country, not to mention that she was a mortal. Countless people kept repeating one sentence the moment Hedwig took power:

"Fire Rose Pill!"

But, surprisingly, she held on.

During the years when His Majesty the Emperor was unable to govern the country, Fire Rose not only did not fall into panic and division as many people had expected, but everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, the country prospered, and the country's strength was also on a good trend.

As a result, more and more people began to recognize and respect this amiable Princess. The nobles who once mocked her for being mortal and overconfident began to voluntarily gather around her, prostrating themselves at her feet, and even took pride in being looked down upon by her.

But no one knows how much effort Hedwig has put in to achieve this goal.

Intelligence, allies, enemies, current situations... A huge amount of information is always chirping and lingering in the mind of this Princess Fan Gu, like a war that will never end, just to be able to filter out the information and judgment that is most beneficial to the empire in a timely manner.

For the first half of her life, every waking moment of this princess was a battle.

And now, the war seems to have stopped briefly.

But the cost is also somewhat unexpected.

Hedwig's condition was very strange. The heat in her body had been soothed and she was calm now, but it was different from before when she was affected by the brand and had to remain calm forever. This calmness was like the afterglow of a volcanic eruption, warm and beautiful, with a hint of inexplicable relief.

Turning her head, looking out the window at the branches bent by frost and snow and the faint morning light, Hedwig suddenly discovered that the world could be so easy and beautiful.

But when she turned around and saw the boy sitting back in his seat, crossing his legs and enjoying the almost, Hedwig felt the pressure hundreds of times heavier than before.

She, the eldest princess of the Fire Rose Empire, and even the half-eldest princess of the Fire Rose Empire, actually asked for something from the prince of an ally country like a shameless [self-regulator].

She was clearly conscious and online, and her dignity and pride were warning her not to do that, but her body had already given the answer involuntarily.

Especially when he [self-regulates] his hands like petting a pet, the strong numbing sensation from his own [self-regulates] makes Hedwig forget everything.

It was as if something lurking beneath that eternally calm exterior was released, all rational madness evaporated, and the brain went blank.

For a moment, she even sympathized with those nobles who used to kneel at her feet and hope to be looked down upon by her with contempt. She hoped that this man would look at her a few more times, even if it was just a look of contempt as if he had completed a task.

Hedwig didn't dare recall what happened afterwards. Anyway, there were still a few red marks on her body and some fragmented memory fragments that made her blush.

The guilt towards her two sisters and the urge to kill came together in her mind. She really wanted to mummy the man who ate the snacks and throw him into the mass grave outside the city.

But what was more urgent was that she now didn't know whether she should get up!

Lin En didn't seem to notice that he had regained consciousness. He was eating snacks at the table to regain his strength. So should he pretend to sleep until he left, or should he get up and say something?

Damn it, Hedwig had heard from some close palace ladies that some men had the habit of going out to smoke a cigarette after having sex, so why couldn't this guy do the same... No, it was obvious that the two of them hadn't gone beyond that step yet.

Although, everything except that step has been almost done.

What's worse is that most of these were initiated by Hedwig herself, and she couldn't even blame Lynn for it.

Just when Hedwig made up her mind to pretend to be unconscious until Lin En left on her own, she found that the latter suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
