Reject me, you damn woman.

Inside the study, Mrs. Ellette was silent.

"All right,"

After a long while, she finally spoke:

"What do you want the family to do for you?"

"Two things,"

Ailijia said:

"First, I hope you won't go against Lynn Norton for the time being. No matter what he does, you must witness it until the very end."

"Lynn Norton?"

Mrs. Elaite's eyes became a little strange.

"Are you talking about the little prince of Zijinhua?"

"Exactly."

Alica nodded.

"This is impossible!"

As soon as he heard this condition, Behrens angrily refuted:

"We have been fighting to the death with Lynn Norton and Historia. If you ask us to let him go now, who will let us go?"

However, Mrs. Elaite smiled and nodded:

"I agree. I like the little prince very much. If I can give him a push, that would be great. However, I will also make good use of this opportunity and make him return the favor."

"Mother?!"

Berens looked at Mrs. Elaite in shock, and the latter just said:

"So, what about the second thing?"

"I hope you can use the influence of the Ilett family to allow the forces hostile to Lynn Norton and Her Highness Hedwig to temporarily preserve their strength and stop interfering with what they are doing."

Alica continued.

"Are you crazy?!"

Behrens couldn't believe that the other party would make such a request.

The first condition is that the Ilet family and Berens can rest and recuperate temporarily, and there will be no losses in the short term.

The second one was completely at a loss for helping.

You might as well just let me support Lynn Norton to be the emperor. No, make him my father!

"I also agree. In the next period of time, any forces that want to obstruct and hinder Lynn Norton and Her Highness Hedwig will be the enemy of the Elaite family. However, there is a time limit, only one week. If it exceeds this time, I will determine that the matter may be beyond my control, and all conditions will be invalid at that time."

Ignoring her son, Mrs. Elaite nodded again. At the same time, her eyes, which had seemed indifferent and cold because of various political struggles and games, suddenly showed a hint of reminiscence:

"If it weren't for your help, I would not have been able to overcome my uncle's obstacles, meet His Majesty, and even become the head of the family and the princess. However, after today, everything between us is written off - this is the last time I call you sister."

After a long silence, Ailijia nodded slowly:

"Thank you too, sis."

As it spoke, the last bit of magic power in the crystal was exhausted and the magic screen shattered.

The blue-haired arcanist raised his face and stared expressionlessly at the sky above the imperial city. It seemed that he was a little absent-minded as his mood changed with the falling crystal snowflakes.

Then, the eyes of the female mage who had completely lost her last name regained their determination, she smiled and said to herself:

"Hmph, now I have done what you wanted me to do, right, Lynn Norton?"

This time, I have to make that guy owe me a favor.

..........

In the seventh district of Rose City, after Historia and Elena got off the carriage one after another, Lin En, who was the last one left in the carriage, nodded slightly.

At the same time, in front of a bar in District 7, a team of fully-armed and murderous shadow knights gathered quietly with death-ready eyes.

The resolute voices of the Shadow Knights came from the communication artifact hidden in Lin's cochlea:

"Your Highness, we are on our way!"

Lynn uttered a soft sound in response and stood up.

They have already formulated the best plan, including arrests, containment, and of course, more effort has been put into vigilance and blocking troublemakers. However, in the Rose City, which has gradually fallen into chaos due to the dispute over the imperial election, there is no such thing as a "perfect" plan.

The Demon Bell Tower, the other princes, and even the nobles and other forces who have their own plans, no one can ensure that everything will be foolproof.

The Shadow Knights are ready to fight a bloody battle and sacrifice their lives at any time.

Even Lin En could only try his best to ensure that—

"Your Highness, it's done!"

Lin En, who had just stepped off the carriage, felt his steps weakened. He almost thought that his own forces were ambushed and wiped out.

After listening to it again, I was sure that the person speaking was indeed Mick, the somewhat excited and out-of-touch director of the Shadow Knight branch of Rose City.

"So fast?!"

"Well, we didn't expect that,"

The voice of the strange object Nemic was extremely excited.

"That idiot was drunk at the bar, and when our guys caught him he tried to run, but it was too late."

"Where's Fireheart?"

"At his place. We're on our way to get it."

"No one's in the way?"

"Absolutely not!"

Mick said excitedly,

"As expected of you, Your Highness. Ever since the Shadow Knights arrived in Rose City, our people have been threatened with interference from hostile forces even when they go to the public toilet. We have never carried out a mission so smoothly. This must be all thanks to you, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Lin En couldn't help but ponder for a while. Why didn't he remember taking such good care of Shadow Knight?

"Student Lin En, do you want to wait a moment?"

Elena's call came from the front.

Never mind, Lynn shook his head and put the distracting thoughts behind him.

It’s a good thing if things go smoothly, which means everything is in your plan. Win!

Not only Shadow Knight, Lin En hadn't heard such smooth and unobstructed good news for a long time.

He looked up at the sunny weather with a smile on his face and couldn't help thinking,

What a good omen!

.........

ps: Sorry for the bad family members, it was originally agreed that there would be five chapters to give the male protagonist a taste of the bull, but the little author Zayu seems to write a little slowly, and forcing that kind of plot to happen will somewhat destroy the rhythm...

I reflect, I am a small fish, I will update more...

But in this volume, the hero's bull will definitely bleed!

Chapter 212: We are inevitably heading towards destruction!

Rose City, the majestic city in the north and the capital of the Fire Rose Kingdom, is seen by some as a golden land woven with conspiracies and interests, but in the eyes of another group of people, it is an ideal country flowing with honey and milk.

District 7 is the civilian residential area of ​​Rose City, and crowdedness and crampedness are its characteristics.

Following in the footsteps of Elena and Historia, the three of them headed towards their destination.

It was one of many low bungalows lined up side by side.

It is more appropriate to call it a sturdy shack rather than a house. Its structure is just a bunch of cheap building materials put together, and the gaps are filled with a lot of soil to keep out the cold.

Because the color scheme of the exterior looks a bit like a snail shell, this type of house is nicknamed "snail house".

Locals who have a little savings would not choose to live in such places, because they are rented out specifically to outsiders who come here to make a living.

For those young "outsiders" who come here with dreams and ambitions, their first stop is mostly this kind of shabby dwelling.

Of course, only one tenth of them can realize a corner of their dreams, but the other nine tenths will be severely knocked down by the hammer of reality, die, or leave here with their dim ideals.

One of Elena and Lin En lived in a place worse than a hovel when they were young, while the other was a time traveler, so they did not feel uncomfortable with their surroundings. On the contrary, Historia, who came to such an environment for the first time, looked a little unhappy.

Obviously, the poverty, hunger and cold here were beyond her imagination. This was a real world that Historia had rarely come into contact with in her past life.

During this period, because Hilteria has been actively "training" the little princess, her vision and thoughts have become quite different from those of the princess who used to be detached from the world.

However, it was precisely because of this that the princess, who had been full of confidence, began to feel confused.

If I win the royal election and become the new queen, can I manage such a world?

Historia didn't know.

At this time, Lin En had already walked to a small house and knocked on the heavy door.

"Who?"

A lazy voice sounded, and after opening the door, he saw the three people outside, especially Lin En, and was stunned for a moment.

"It's you!"

"Hi."

Lynn smiled and waved at the guard.

The guard living here is Lambert, who was seriously injured while saving Granny and was revived by Lynn using werewolf blood.

According to the report from the Shadow Knights, after Lambert woke up from his injuries, he hurried back home on the pretext of taking care of his sister, and did not even accept the thank-you gifts prepared for him by the Shadow Knights.

At that time, Lin En was busy dealing with Prince Zevis and his forces. He originally planned to visit them after everything was over. However, when he learned that Seral and Fire Heart's hiding place was also in District 7, Lin En decided to come and see what they thought.

The first is to see if the werewolf blood will cause any trouble to the guards in the future. The second is to use this excuse to deceive others and mislead the thoughts of other forces who are observing their actions, thereby reducing the resistance that the Shadow Knights may encounter.

And just imagine that, here everyone is having a great time, and at the same time, with Lin En's casual command, the shadow knights are killing the enemy with swords and sabers. This scene is also very cool.

However, because the arrest plan went too smoothly, based on the idea of ​​making the best of it, this trip became a simple visiting trip.

"Brother, is there a guest outside?"

A childish and crisp voice came from the room, and Lin En smiled and said:

"Aren't you going to invite us in and sit down?"

"Oh, in that case, come on, come on, but my house is a little messy, I hope you don't mind."

The guard smiled and hurriedly invited them into the house.

It was just as Lin En expected, and it was a relief.

Even after knowing that his identity was not ordinary, the attitude of this carefree guy hardly changed compared to when he initially thought of himself as an idiot outsider who had nothing.

Surprisingly, the interior of Lambert's tiny home is much more cozy and warm than the exterior.

Although the house is small, with only a bedroom and a living room separated by wood, it is generally very warm and tidy.

"Not bad, I thought the place you live in would be a doghouse that can't even fit your feet."

Lynn couldn't help but complain.

“It’s probably because the maintainer is very attentive.”

Elena chuckled. As someone who also often did housework, she could tell just by looking at the layout that there must be an extraordinary "female" hostess here.

"Hmph, from the perspective of common people... it's pretty good."

Historia also commented.

The living room had a sofa with a blanket on it, which was obviously Lambert's bed, while the only small bedroom belonged to someone else.

The little girl, about seven or eight years old, with a large flowered apron around her neck that almost reached her knees, was holding a spatula and looking at the sudden visitors with timid eyes.

"Excuse me, I'm actually exhausted from working every day. This is the result of my sister, Akasha's cleaning. She's a little timid, so don't scare her."

As he spoke, Lambert winked at Lin En and pointed to his chest in a subtle way, signaling Lin En not to tell anyone about his injury, and said:
