Reject me, you damn woman.

Lynn's first reaction was the name of a bar in a well-known game, and he asked Granny to send the Shadow Knights to investigate places related to the word "afterlife". He thought he would not receive the results until at least the next day, but he did not expect the answer to be revealed much faster than he thought.

At the dinner table that night, when Lynn tentatively mentioned the word "afterlife", he unexpectedly discovered that almost everyone in the Historia family, except the three outsiders, had heard of this place.

The Rose and Gold Opera House is the most prestigious opera house in the entire Fire Rose. Its magnificence and grandeur are enough to shock everyone's heart.

But if there is something that this theatre is more well-known for than its exterior, it has to be the opera series “Afterlife”.

Named after the famous figures in the history of Fire Rose, and with their life stories as the main content, this series is the soul of the "After Life" series.

And tonight is the day when a drama in the Afterlife series will be broadcast.

Lynn narrowed his eyes, looked at the opera house bathed in lights, and gently stroked his chin.

No wonder Celitia and the people of the Church could not catch the tail of those evil cultists. It was very difficult for the poor nuns who had to work together to get a discount even for a cup of milk tea to investigate such a place.

However, if you think about it from the other side, this trick is actually quite clever.

In general people's impression, churches are upright and honest, while cultists are necessarily cowards who hide their heads and show their tails. Places like opera houses seem to be in the dark.

Hedwig and Celitia both speculated that there were supporters from the Fire Rose nobility or even the crown prince level behind the cultists, and now it seems almost confirmed.

As for how to find out who it is, even Granny doesn't need any pointers to figure out the best strategy:

and so on.

Just wait.

The crown prince who will be attending the opera tonight is the person most likely to have connections with the cult.

"Hey, please hurry up and get off the passengers here, there are other people waiting in line behind you!"

At this moment, a man dressed as a guard came here and urged the two of them.

"Sorry, we'll be leaving soon."

Granny hurried to explain to the man.

"Well, please move faster... Hey, is it you?"

Lin En originally thought that the man was an acquaintance of Granny. After all, Shadow Knight had been secretly running around for him these days. However, when his eyes met the other person's, he realized that this guy seemed to be coming for him.

"You don't recognize me, it's me!"

The man waved excitedly at Lin En, and after a few more glances, Lin En seemed to have some impression:

"Ninja Dog Parker?"

"It's Lambert!"

the man corrected loudly.

He gave Granny a look and told her not to be nervous, because Lin En actually knew this person.

It was the first day that Lin En and the other two arrived in Rose City. Because Hilteria also had to return to the city, some minor incidents occurred. Although the guard named Lambert didn't seem to be very smart, he was outspoken and upright, which left a little impression on Lin En.

Lin En had promised him at that time that he would help teach the "arrogant" Third Prince a lesson.

"You, you also bought a ticket to watch the show?"

The guard named Lambert showed a surprised expression.

"I guess so, but I haven't bought the ticket yet."

Lynn said honestly.

Tickets for the Gold and Rose Theatre basically have to be booked a month in advance, and only for people of a certain status, not to mention the most popular "After Life" series, it is not too much to wait three months in advance to grab a ticket. Lin En just had a spur of the moment decision yesterday, so of course he couldn't buy a ticket.

Lambert heaved a sigh of relief and winked at Lin En:

"You, a guy riding a stagecoach, can't buy a ticket either. It should be the same as those guys, right?"

Lynn's private carriage did not have any emblems or decorations. At first glance, it did look a bit like a small public carriage, which was something Lynn did on purpose.

The "those guys" Lambert refers to are mostly people who can't buy tickets. A small number of these people are veteran opera fans who are satisfied even if they hear a little lingering sound from outside the building. Most of them come to see this legendary opera house itself.

"What's there to see? Just a bunch of boring people following the trend. It's all just heads. It's a mess."

Lin En just smiled and changed the subject:

"Aren't you a guard at the city gate? Why are you guarding here?"

At this point, Lambert suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, touched the back of his head, and said a little embarrassedly:

"What else could it be? The pay here is high. You know, winter is coming soon. Winter in Rose City is not easy to endure."

Lynn just nodded silently.

Unlike the purple gold flower which has four distinct seasons, the fire rose seems to have only two seasons, winter and other seasons. Especially in winter, when noble lords are drinking strong liquor by the fireplace in their private clubs, people may be freezing to death just a few blocks away.

The head maid was arguing with the palace steward who came to cause trouble because the other party had withheld Historia's monthly winter wages.

The guard gave a thumbs up:

"Haha, come with me later and I'll take you to a good place."

"Good place?"

Lynn was a little confused.

"It's the side door. You must tell me."

Lambert chuckled,

"We are willing to guard in such a troublesome place. In addition to the high salary, another important reason is that we can sneak in to watch the performance during our breaks. Although the angle is a bit bad, it's great to think that the ticket is worth several gold coins!"

Looking at the guard's appearance, Lin En couldn't help but smile:

"That's not necessary. In fact, I already have an appointment with a friend. If you want to watch the opera, you can come with us later. You don't have to worry about the salary."

"Huh? I'm serious, don't joke with me."

The guard scratched his head in confusion.

The number of seats in each area of ​​the Rose and Gold Opera House is fixed and quantified. It is impossible to squeeze people in at short notice. Only the high-end private rooms can do this.

But how could the private rooms of the Rose Opera House be accessible to ordinary people?

Not to mention ordinary nobles, even lords from small places are not qualified. Only those old and powerful families or even members of the royal family have the right to use it.

It is said that the Rose Theater will open a legendary box tonight that has never been open to the public.

Even among all the boxes, it is the largest, best located and most luxurious one, but it has never been open to the public because it is the private box of the theater owner, which makes the theater even more legendary.

But these have nothing to do with the two of them.

How could a guy who couldn't even buy a ticket know nobles or even the royal family?

This is too ridiculous. The guard thought Lin En was just talking nonsense.

"Um, is this Mr. Lynn?"

Just then, a gentle male voice sounded from behind the two of them. They turned around and saw a man dressed in a scholarly manner standing there, with his soft hair blowing down and covering half of his face.

The Shadow Knight, who had been quite relaxed, now felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

The Sixth Prince, Xervis!

In the royal family of the Bayer family, which is full of domineering members, this prince is the most gentle and amiable. It is really hard to tell that he would be the guy who has secret connections with the cultists.

Lin En's expression remained unchanged as he greeted:

"Hello, Xervis..."

"Shh!"

Xervis gestured to silence him.

"Here, I am just an audience member who loves opera. I didn't expect you to have the same hobby. However, the theater may be crowded. Would you like to come to my private room?"

"That's not necessary. I already have an appointment."

"That's a shame,"

Xervis showed a sad expression.

“I hope you enjoy watching.”

"you too."

After the two said goodbye to each other, Zervis entered the theater.

Shadow Knight Granny pursed her lips. It was obviously a bit unexpected for her to meet the crown prince who would attend the opera tonight so soon.

Lambert on the side was completely dumbfounded. Although he didn't know Zevis, he could still understand what he said. This guy actually knew a big shot who could enter the private room?

However, what neither of them expected was that Zevis' arrival was just the beginning.

Without even a moment's slack in anticipation of the Fifth Prince's arrival, the next person to arrive at the theater was...

"Err!"

After the horses neighed loudly, the luxurious carriage stopped in front of the three people.

"Lynn Norton, why are you here?"

As soon as the hostile male voice sounded, it was interrupted by another female voice:

"Behrens, don't be rude!"

The curtain of the carriage was drawn open, revealing the Fourth Prince Berens, who was wearing a white suit, with his arms folded and a look of defiance on his face, and the graceful and beautiful lady sitting opposite him.

Her long black hair was tied up and fixed with a gorgeous headdress. Her crimson dress was slim and exquisite, swaying in the wind blowing into the carriage like a red thorn flower. Under the hem of the skirt were a pair of beautiful legs in black stockings, wearing black high heels.

"Sorry, we are rude and disturb your fun."

She bowed slightly towards Lynn to apologize, revealing the deep cleavage on her chest.

"It's okay. His Highness Berens is very cute even like this. Are you his sister?"

Lynn responded with a smile.

"elder sister?"

The woman was stunned.

"Lynn Norton, are you blind, she's my mother!"

Berens on the side was suddenly furious.

Lynn showed a shocked expression:

"I'm sorry, you're so young and beautiful, I thought you were His Highness Berens' cousin or something, but it turns out you're the noble Lady Elaite."

"Behrens!"

She stopped Behrens again, but the corners of the woman's lips were clearly raised much higher than before, and her sincerity also increased:

"It's okay, it's okay. It's my appearance that may have caused you to misunderstand. I am indeed the child's mother."

"No, it was my mistake. Please allow me to apologize."

Lynn stretched out a hand seriously.

The woman was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Lin En meant. She also stretched out a hand, let Lin En gently hold it, put it to his lips and kissed it lightly.

Mrs. Elaite smiled even more.

Berens's face had gradually turned from red to purple.

The Shadow Knight and the guard were blocked from view by Lynn's body, but they could see everything clearly from Behrens's perspective.

When Lynn was kissing the back of Mrs. Elaite's hand, his hand was not honest and gently scratched the palm of Mrs. Elaite's hand.

This is totally flirting!

Damn it, he actually flirted with his own mother in front of him!

"You are such an unexpected person!"

Mrs. Ellette's eyes were full of charm.

"But it pales in comparison to your dignity and beauty."
