Reject me, you damn woman.

"Then it depends on your sincerity."

"Goo!"

The female arcanist let out a humiliating grunt from her throat.

It is unrealistic to snatch it from Lin En by force. Not to mention that the other party has a trump card that can threaten his life. Since Lin En blatantly displays the crystal ball in front of him for him to see, who can guarantee that he only has one?

The difference is too big. Perhaps in terms of realm strength, Ailijia crushes the prince in front of her.

However, ever since she planned to use shady means on the prince, the terrible result seemed to have been predetermined.

There seems to be only one way left for Ailijia.

If I could sacrifice myself to satisfy this demon and avoid the outcome of the Fire Rose's daughters bleeding, it wouldn't be... unacceptable.

"I...I understand. As long as Her Highness Hedwig is not harmed, I will do anything!"

The court arcanist made a humiliating sound, while the blond prince narrowed his eyes and revealed a satisfied smile:

"You can do everything?"

“I can do anything…!”

After all, this is all for Her Highness Hedwig!

"Then answer me a question first."

Lynn said with a smile.

Damn it, is this a joke to me and take revenge on me?

However, just as Ailijia was silently reciting Hedwig's name and accepting Lynn's teasing with a dead heart.

But the prince's voice suddenly became unusually solemn:

"Ms. Elica, please answer me, which one is more important to you, your country or Her Highness Hedwig?"

"Of course...eh?"

The court arcanist opened his eyes.

This question was quite different from the humiliating ones that she had imagined. He even slapped Ailijia on the head to free her from some humiliating fantasies.

She looked at Lin En in front of her, but she didn't see any evil in his eyes, and even... there was some righteousness.

It was then that the female arcanist realized that the man in front of her was serious.

"It's so sudden. I...can't answer this question."

After careful consideration, Alica shook her head.

"No, that's the best answer."

Lynn shook his head.

If Ailijia answered without hesitation either the country or Hedwig, it only meant that the other option was worthless in her eyes, or at least could not be compared with the other one.

Only when she is unable to make a choice does it mean that both of them have considerable weight in her heart.

And this is exactly the kind of person Lin En needs.

With a casual throw, Lin En threw the crystal that recorded the scene into the hands of the female arcanist.

"Lynn Norton, what do you mean?"

After catching the crystal ball, the court arcanist was completely unable to understand Lin En's intentions.

"I'm sorry to use this method, but I have to make sure you are a trustworthy person first."

Lin En said solemnly:

"Because I will need some help next, and I can only trust people who cherish both Her Highness Hedwig and the country."

After a second of silence, Ailijia asked:

"What do you want from me?"

Lin En immediately said:

"I want you to help me do a divination to find out the current location of a person named Seral."

"Serral?"

Ailijia felt like she had heard this name before.

"Isn't he a man of His Highness Zevis? Even his master was killed by you, and you actually have the leisure to care about him. You don't seem like the kind of person who would be so frightened that he would have to eradicate his opponent completely."

"Yes, I am not looking for him just to get rid of him, I am just in a hurry. This is not a mandatory request, you can refuse it."

Lynn nodded.

And Ailijia responded with action.

She stretched out her hand, and fine snow fell from her white palm. The crocheted light of fate flashed in her blue pupils and reflected in reality. The fine snow, following the fluctuations of fate, flew up from the city wall and blew towards a certain direction of the Rose City.

"He's in a bar in District 7, worrying about not being able to escape. You don't need me to teach you how to do the rest."

Ailijia replied coldly.

"District 7?"

Lin En recalled the structural diagram of Rose City.

District 7 seems to be an area where civilians live. Since there are not many nobles, the population is dense and the management is rather chaotic, so it makes sense to hide there.

While thinking about the plan of having the Shadow Knights capture the other party, Lynn turned around and prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

This time, it was the female arcanist who took the initiative to call out to Lin En.

"Is there anything else?"

Lynn paused and turned back to ask.

"You, are you just going to let me go like this?"

The court arcanist had mixed feelings and still couldn't quite believe it.

She, the court arcanist Alica, was a dignified seventh-ring dual-attribute arcanist, and even though she did not want to boast, Alica was very confident about her appearance.

The gift of ice arcane has endowed Ailijia with ice-blue hair and blue pupils, making this beauty's temperament as cold and aloof as the wind.

As for her figure, although she does not have the perfect proportions of Princess Hedwig, Alica's figure is outstanding among ordinary women, at least two or three times the level of Princess Historia.

Especially because she has been practicing ice magic for many years, her body temperature and even the temperature of her body fluids are lower than that of ordinary people - this is a real plus for some men.

And the man in front of him, he had planned carefully, found a way out of a desperate situation, killed himself on the spot, and got something threatening enough to make him obey his orders.

Was it just to use his divination ability to help him divine the hiding place of a second-ring trash blasphemer?

"No, thank you for your help. I have achieved my goal."

Leaving these last words, Lin En turned and left in the puzzled look of the court arcanist.

Looking at Lin En's back, Ailijia was puzzled.

She even began to doubt her own feminine charm or the sexual orientation of the prince in front of her, but when she thought about it carefully, the Sixth Prince and the girl with the purple gold flower who followed him seemed to be students.

Could it be that this prince has some special fetish for college uniforms?

It turns out that men from eight to eighty years old all like schoolgirls.

Wait, then wasn't my previous comment about Lynn's possible inappropriate behavior toward Princess Hedwig a bit redundant?

Of course, there is another possibility that everything Lin En showed was a disguise.

He wants to use this method to make himself more depraved?

Even though I felt that I was overthinking it, fortunately, Ailijia had her own unique way of verification.

............

After leaving the palace and returning to the villa, while changing his coat with the help of Elena, Lin En's lips, which had been unable to be suppressed, finally lifted up and revealed a smile.

Let it go easily?

How can it be!

But as Lynn said, he had achieved his goal.

After Yuu left the throne room, Lynn was worried about one question.

She was worried that after the two of them had done a great job together, Hedwig would suddenly backstab her, and she would be the bad guy while Lynn was the hero.

By then Historia will be so moved that she will burst into tears, and Lin En's favorability will increase, and she will really want to die.

Therefore, he needed someone.

A witness who will stand up and identify himself at the last moment, even if Hedwig has made up her mind to cut ties with him, and tell everyone that Lynn and Hedwig are accomplices.

Just when Lynn was struggling with how to find this witness smoothly.

Ailijia just happened to show up.

As a court arcanist, she even has the rare ability of prophecy. Her words are naturally convincing. And with the skill of precognition - even if it is a vague precognition, she can be fooled by Lin En, which shows that her brain is not very good and she is easy to fool.

The most important thing is that this female arcanist has a very high degree of favorability and sympathy towards Hedwig!

Even when Lin En asked which was more important, the country or Princess Hedwig, Ailijia was stunned for a moment. She was simply the perfect witness in Lin En's dream.

This kind of person, if Lynn and Hedwig were both criminals, probably nothing would happen.

But when she knew that Princess Hedwig had taken all the sins alone, while she, the other mastermind, was at large, could she indulge herself?

It must be severely exposed and reported!

By then, maybe His Highness Historia could mistakenly believe that her good elder sister was being used as a pawn by others.

Wouldn’t that double Lin En’s anger?

It’s stable. This time it should be really stable!

As for how to smoothly reveal to Ailijia the fact that he and Princess Hedwig were "in collusion", just as Lin En said before he left, he had already accomplished his goal.

He told Ailijia that he was going to capture Seral, and that was enough.

If it were an ordinary person, this method of obscuring the truth might be very effective.

But don't forget, Alica is an arcanist of prophecy!

Lin En just didn't believe that this woman wasn't curious about his series of mysterious operations!

As a prophetic extraordinary person, Alica's way of satisfying her curiosity was very simple. She just had to do a brief divination on Lin En.

After encountering the Serpent of Fate once, Lin En collected some information about the ability characteristics and targeting methods of people with prophecy abilities.

In this world, the main form of prophecy is to incorporate prophetic "elements".

It's a bit like cooking, but different prophetic elements can lead to very different results.

For example, if you do divination for Lin En, you may only get the result of the crown prince of Zijinhua. However, if you add the element of "Novi" and do divination again, Lin En may become "the man of the future emperor of Zijinhua."

As long as Alija slightly mixed in some "Hedwig" elements when fortune-telling for Lynn, even if their relationship was not directly exposed, it would be enough to arouse suspicion and vigilance in Alija's heart, laying the groundwork for backstabbing her.

It’s stable, it’s stable, I really don’t know how I can lose!

When leaving the imperial city, Lin En took a special look and saw that Ailijia had already started the divination ritual.

Lin En must consider whether this is his only chance in his life!

Lin En now couldn't wait to find Fire Heart and Seral, so as to experience the most satisfying backstab since his rebirth!

But speaking of District 7, it seems there's a guy there who I haven't paid attention to for a while.

Thinking of this, Lin En stood up:

"Elena, call Historia, let's go to District 7."

"Eh?!"
