Reject me, you damn woman.

"anyway,"

The King of Heroes looked at Lynn.

"Your Highness Lin En, while we're waiting, would you mind telling me about the current situation of Fire Rose?"

The Fire Kings, who originally had their own thoughts, also pricked up their ears quietly.

Obviously, although the Fire Kings have lost a lot of their "past" due to the wear and tear of time, they regard the protection of the secret fire as their supreme responsibility.

However, it is still difficult for the Fire Kings to completely care about the country they dedicated their entire lives to.

"sure."

Lin En breathed a sigh of relief. He would be happy as long as these Heroic Kings stopped nursing Hedwig.

In the following time, Lin En briefly told the Heroic Kings everything that happened to him after he came to Fire Rose, including the killing of the Fourth Prince, the conspiracy with Hedwell to steal fire, and the part about the Magic Bell Tower.

The Heroic Kings also listened for fun in the beginning, then became gradually shocked and angry after empathizing with the story, and finally felt helpless and powerless in the end.

Because, even if they knew what was happening outside, the Fire Kings who were unable to leave the secret realm could do nothing.

“I didn’t expect that the current king election has become an endless fight between compatriots.”

Rudolph sighed, his tone somewhat desolate.

"I originally set up the King Selection because I was afraid that those unqualified descendants would die because they couldn't withstand the backlash of the secret fire. That's all."

It is really ironic that the royal election established for the purpose of protection turned into a reason for fighting in the end.

"Magic Bell Tower."

The heroic king Eldritch spoke in a low voice,

"In our time, those rats in the gutter didn't have the guts to tease the Flame Family."

"But in this case, the child did not lie. She really has been working hard to save her country."

The Twin Kings looked at the torch in the center of the altar with great satisfaction.

The other Fire Lords nodded.

No, why is it starting to milk?!

Lynn is a bit lonely.

Just as he was thinking about how to change the subject, the Fire King Rudolph suddenly said:

"Well, blindly clinging to the glory of the past is just self-consolation for mediocre people. Besides, aren't these children working hard to save their country? The living have never given up. Although we dead guys can't help, it's enough to just know this."

The other Fire Kings had no choice but to nod.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Rudolph smiled slightly and looked at Lin En:

"In a sense, I also want to thank those guys who brought suffering to our country, because I have always believed that a country born from fire will become better in the flames of suffering. This is what I have always believed. Moreover, if it weren't for those guys, perhaps my descendants would not have met you, Your Highness the Prince of Purple Gold Flower."

Lin En shook his head:

"Thank you for your recognition, Your Highness Rudolf. However, I do not agree with some of what you said. We should never be thankful for the suffering, but for ourselves who work hard to overcome it."

"As for those who enjoy causing suffering to others, I have only one attitude."

Lynn clenched his fist slowly.

"That means not a single one will be left alive!"

"That's a pretty extreme statement, Your Highness Lin En."

The Fire King looked at the young man in front of him with interest and teased.

"Extreme?"

Lynn asked back disapprovingly.

This time it was the Fire King who was stunned, because he was just joking in good faith and didn't expect Lin En to be serious at all.

So, he had to give a tactful admonition:

"Your Highness Lin En, I have no right to comment on your way of doing things. However, as a senior, please allow me to advise you that if you are too stubborn, you will have fewer friends."

"I don't need friends who will just disappear."

Lynn Road,

"All I need is my enemies to turn against me."

"What if your friend also..."

"I already told you that he's not my friend."

Lin En spread out his hands as a matter of course:

"Your Majesty Rudolf, you don't seem to understand my code of conduct. If my enemies oppose me, it means that I am doing the right thing. If even my enemies support me, it means that I am doing the right thing."

"If my friends support me, it means I am doing the right thing. If my friends oppose me, it means they are not my friends at all, but my enemies."

"If passers-by support me, it means I am doing the right thing. If passers-by oppose me, it means that passers-by are also my enemies."

The Fire King was stunned on the spot, his Adam's apple moving up and down.

Ying Ling felt that he should say something at this moment, but his throat felt dry and he couldn't say anything.

Fortunately, at this moment, the light of the torch suddenly went out, and Hedwig reappeared at the side of the altar. She seemed to be no different from before. After a brief flash of complexity in her eyes, she quickly sorted out her thoughts and came to Lin En and the heroes.

"It only took such a short time..."

The Fire Lords exchanged glances.

They were not surprised by Hedwig's success. What surprised them was that this descendant of mortal bones could accommodate the secret fire so quickly, even surpassing many extraordinary kings who successfully passed the Trial of Fire by relying on their personal strength.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Lynn asked.

"There seems to be no problem at the moment. Thank you, Your Highness Lin En, for your concern."

Hedwig said,

"Now we can return to the throne room."

"Wait a moment, please, both of you,"

At this moment, the Flame King Rudolph suddenly stepped forward, looked at Lin En, and said with a smile:

"Can you give us a little more time?"

"Please."

Lynn nodded, smiling triumphantly.

In fact, he had deliberately said those words to the wise previous Fire King. Lin En believed that the other party would make the right choice.

He could guess what Rudolf was going to say to Hedwig, which was nothing more than asking her to keep a distance from him and stay away from him.

And that's exactly what he wanted.

There are too many flags on Hedwig. In order to prevent her from suddenly becoming the heroine and stabbing him in the back, Lin En has to take some precautions in advance and lower his favorability in the heart of this princess.

And in front of Hedwig at this moment, whose voice is more important than that of the great kings who founded the secret fire system and continued to protect the Fire Rose in another way after their death?

If Hedwig hadn't become the protagonist, it wouldn't matter. Hedwig herself hadn't heard Lynn's outrageous remarks anyway. How could one believe the words of a dead person?

Let's just pretend nothing happened.

I just feel sorry for Her Highness Historia. She must be very sad to be backstabbed by her own master... ahem, her best friend and the most trusted sister. But it doesn't matter. After the crisis of Fire Rose is over, Lin En, who has accumulated all the rewards, will naturally tutor her in biology and make it up to her.

As expected by Lynn, Hedwig and Rudolph's discussion was about Lynn.

The clever princess seemed to have seen some clues from the Flame King's tangled expression, so she took the initiative and asked:

"Ancestor Rudolf, do you want to talk to me about something about His Highness Lynn?"

Rudolph nodded, his expression complex. The wise heroic spirit racked his brain for the right words:

"Yes, my child. Although this may make you unhappy, as your elder, I still have to advise you that the prince may not be as gentle as he appears to be, so you'd better......"

"If you want me to stay away from His Highness Lynn, or keep my distance from him, I think we don't need to continue this conversation."

Hedwig said gently but firmly,

"Whether from a personal perspective or from a national perspective, His Highness Lin En has given me too many favors. His Highness Rudolf would not want his descendant, the current guardian of the Secret Fire, to be a treacherous villain."

"what?"

The Fire King was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his descendant might think differently from him.

So he shook his head and said:

"You are wrong, my child. I do want to remind you to be careful about what the prince might do in the future, but I am not asking you to keep a distance from him. Even if you have such an idea, it is too late now."

Now it was Hedwig's turn to be confused.

If you didn't want to keep a distance between yourself and His Highness Lin En, why did you deliberately avoid Lin En and talk to him alone?

Could it be that I thought wrongly?

"What do you mean?"

Hedwig probed.

"On the contrary, I hope you can capture that prince at all costs!"

The spirit of the Fire King had a serious look on his face, as if he had returned to the battlefield in his lifetime and became a general giving orders again.

"?"

Is my ancestor ordering me to snatch my sister's man?

A small question mark appeared above Her Royal Highness’s head.

..........

ps: emnnnn, I only realized after reading a few posts that I have already reached a million words, it’s really a bit shocking!

This is my first novel of one million words, and I have reached this word count without even noticing, haha.

Writing is a very lonely and boring thing most of the time, but it is a very happy thing when people like what you write.

In short, thank you to every little reader who reads this book!

This story only exists because of your reading, thank you everyone!

Chapter 220: Lin En can’t hold back her laughter again

"Ancestor Rudolf, did I hear you correctly? What did you say?"

Hedwig couldn't help but ask.

"I say, you must maintain the relationship between Fire Rose and that prince, um, especially the relationship between the two of you."

Rudolph repeated it again, this time emphasizing the word "you", and his tone was even more resolute than last time.

The Heroic King did not mean to be joking at all. On the contrary, he was extremely serious.

To be honest, if it was before Hedwig entered the secret realm, Rudolf might not have been so determined to let this junior whom he admired very much put aside his pride and pursue Lin En, but this Heroic King... was truly frightened by Lin En's somewhat extreme remarks.

Either a friend or an enemy. Anyone who can say such words is definitely a very scary person to others.

Of course, if it is a pig without any ability, then the horror of this sentence is only directed at teammates.

And if a truly capable guy says this, his enemies will surely feel ten times more terrifying than before!

And Lynn obviously does not belong to the former.

If he had a choice, Rudolph would definitely kill such a terrible guy before he grew up. Even when he was talking to Lynn, when the other party said this as if it was a matter of course, Rudolph gradually became murderous.

But unfortunately, Lily, who was standing next to Lin En and picking her ears out of boredom, seemed to tell Rudolph that if he dared to do it, someone would definitely be strangled to death, but it was most likely not Lin En...

There is only one path for the Flame King, or the future Fire Rose, and that is to maintain a good relationship with Lin En, but what relationship can be closer than that of a partner?

Just then, Hedwig appeared.

One is a princess who is willing to betray her ancestors and country for the sake of her country and brothers, and the other is a foreign prince who is not involved in the matter and has nothing to do with it.

Why did Lynn help Hedwig?
