Reject me, you damn woman.

Historia suddenly stood up, turned around, and faced the two of them.

"I don't have to go to that hot and humid place where the lessons are hard and boring anymore. Who cares? I'm so happy. Humph, you guys are tired, eat. I...I'm going to go back and rest!"

[Rejection reward has been increased! ]

As she spoke, she stood up and walked up the stairs somewhat unsteadily. In the process, her toe kicked the step with a "bang". She hissed and gasped several times, then immediately frowned and limped up the rest of the stairs before closing the door with a "bang".

"Student Lin En..."

Elena looked at Lin En in confusion, with complicated eyes.

"Student Elena, let's eat."

Lynn said calmly, reaching for the cutlery, silently calculating the rejection rewards he had received, and preparing to continue eating.

Lynn actually had many ways to solve the problem Historia was facing. At the very least, he could let other people talk about it, but he chose to use it to get the rejection reward.

Because he suddenly realized that he relaxed too early.

At this moment, Lin En suddenly felt a gust of wind that seemed to blow towards his cheek.

Lin En waited calmly. It didn't matter even if Elena wanted to slap him. Maybe he could get some rewards from Elena at the same time.

What a generous reward, that’s the benefit of being a tsundere.

However, it’s not as cool as I imagined.

But then, he felt a soft little hand gently touching his cheek, and then the girl's whole soft body leaned into his arms, her warm cheek pressed against his, transmitting the warmth, and the girl's faint fragrance permeated his nose.

"Although I'm stupid and not as smart as Lin En, I know that Lin En must have thought a lot and made this choice for Xia's sake, so all I can do is support Lin En."

Lin En was silent for a while, then he hummed softly:

"I realized I made some mistakes, maybe a little late, but I will try my best to protect everyone."

"I believe you."

Elena murmured silently and opened her eyes. In her soft, originally light chestnut eyes, there flashed a determination and light that the girl herself was not aware of.

And I will do my best to protect Lin En.

Anyway, tomorrow, it will all be over.

Lin En raised his head slightly and looked up at the silver moon sky.

At the same time, under the same moonlight,

Inside the palace, the black-robed man sitting alone on the throne lifted his dark hood, revealing his silver hair and face that had never been shown to anyone before. He looked up at the starry sky and smiled:

"Finally, it's over."

Deep under the Imperial City of Shadow World, the Fate Snake in the form of a little loli with white hair and red eyes looked at the miracle before her and laughed foolishly:

"Hehe, His Highness Lin En, my His Highness Lin En~"

She threw the thread of destiny in her hand into the miracle seed that was about to bloom in front of her. Before she could appreciate it, she suddenly looked in a certain direction with surprise:

"Someone?"

After hesitating for a long time, the figure of the snake of fate disappeared.

At the edge of the imperial city in the shadow world, a witch in a black tight suit walked with her long legs and whistled towards the entrance of the palace. Countless monsters lurking in the darkness opened their eyes and looked at the slim witch with greedy glances.

"I wanted to sneak in, but it seems like it's going to be a bit troublesome."

"We are still prepared,"

The witch chuckled, drew her two swords, and chanted softly,

"Do not hinder me, do not hinder me, the gods give me a smooth path, please send me back to my Lord, whose miracles are performed on earth as they are in heaven..."

The blazing holy light illuminates the sacred twin blades that belong only to the blasphemer!

At the same time, in the villa, the head maid Milansa pushed open the door of Historia's room and looked at the girl curled up on the bed with a complicated look in her eyes. Finally, she called softly:

"Your Highness..."

Chapter 246: You are right, but let Lin En verify it!

Genesis 1754, November 11.

This is an ordinary day, not a holiday, with no special meaning, just like any other ordinary day in winter.

Relatively southern countries such as Zijinhua have gradually begun to enter the cold and harsh winter, but for countries like Fire Rose, which are originally in the northern region, cold and harsh winter is just the norm. Due to climate change, the nights have become longer accordingly. It was originally when the dawn should have already appeared, but the sky was still dark.

In the still dark night, a black carriage quietly drove into the palace. Lin En lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the dark sky. He also greeted the court arcanist Ailijia who was leaning on the city wall. Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the throne. In front of the palace door that had been opened early in the morning, the silver-haired princess had been waiting for a long time.

The door opened automatically, and Lynn was the first to get out of the carriage.

It was a rare occasion that he was dressed formally today. Under his long windbreaker to keep warm, he was wearing a dark black suit, a red scarf, and holding a silver-studded cane.

Lin En first casually adjusted his collar, greeted the princess at the palace door, and then reached into the carriage.

After hesitating for a moment, a soft little hand wearing a red silk glove rested on her palm.

The girl in red high-heeled shoes jumped out of the car carefully like a young deer.

Lin En looked her up and down, then said with satisfaction:

"As expected, red is the most suitable color for you, Your Highness Historia."

Historia just smiled back.

Lynn didn't flatter deliberately, because Historia today deserved such an evaluation.

Under the fluffy fiery-colored shawl, one could vaguely see a white off-shoulder dress. Under the hem of the dress, which looked like a blooming white rose, was a pair of delicate, white legs. She was wearing red high-heeled shoes, which set off her white ankles and slender calves, showing her well-proportioned figure.

Her fiery red hair was also elegantly tied up behind her head, revealing an equally beautiful and smooth neck, which contrasted beautifully with her half-covered delicate collarbone, giving people endless reverie, especially in frosty and snowy weather, which made people's eyes bright, as if she was a fire elf appearing in a frosty night, illuminating the night.

Most girls will turn into a piece of thousand-year-old black ice in winter that makes boys tremble, but for the daughters of the Flame Family, the colder the moment with biting ice and snow, the more brightly they will bloom.

Of course, there are exceptions.

"Welcome, Xia, and Your Highness Lin En."

Hedwig was still dressed as usual, wearing a lazy black off-shoulder dress, with silver hair draped over her shoulders. She looked at the two of them with her watery eyes and a gratified smile:

"I'm really surprised at how well you two dressed up... it just took some time."

The princess, who usually had a good temper, had a hint of complaint in her voice.

Historia glanced at Lin subconsciously. Actually, according to the agreement, the two should have arrived long ago, but this was Lin's idea. It took a lot of extra time just to pack and dress up, which led to their lateness. But according to the latter, this seemed to be called... a sense of ritual?

"Even if it's a coronation ceremony with only three people, you have to dress up. This is a sign of respect for yourself and for the future Queen, isn't it?"

Lin En said with a smile. At the same time, he glanced at Hedwig and said thoughtfully:

"Your Highness Hedwig, you seem to be even paler than you were three days ago. Is there something wrong?"

"It's just that I've been preparing for the ceremony for the past three days, so I'm a little tired."

Hedwig blandly brushed aside the subject.

"However, from what His Highness Lin En said, you must have been looking forward to it for a long time. In that case, let's get started..."

She took a deep breath:

"The inheritance of the secret fire, and the coronation ceremony for only three people."

When saying this, Historia trembled slightly, and Lynn just nodded silently. Only Hedwig's tone was filled with a hint of relief and she smiled.

It's finally done.

I had planned and prepared for the coronation ceremony for so long.

Just give the secret fire to Historia, and then... everything will be over.

From beginning to end, everyone except three people will be unaware.

All this is thanks to you,

From the beginning to the end, the arrogant and confident Dragon Son,

Her Royal Highness Lynn Norton.

"Well, of course,"

Lin En nodded. Just when Hedwig thought he was going to agree with her, Lin En suddenly changed the subject:

"However, there is still one thing. If it is not completed, I will always feel that something is missing. I hope Her Highness Hedwig can be flexible."

Hedwig, who was originally planning to turn around, froze and had to look at Lin En again. Historia was also a little confused. Apparently, Lin En had not informed her in advance that there were other links.

"Of course you can. However, considering His Highness Lin En's current say in Rose City, there might be something that even you can't do. Even with my help, it would be meaningless. What's more, we are short of time. How about letting Xia give the order after the coronation ceremony?"

Hedwig forced a smile.

What he said made sense. After the coronation ceremony, Historia would forcibly defeat the other candidates chosen by the emperor and become the new queen candidate. At that time, her power would be second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

With Lynn and Hedwig around, no one else, whether the crown prince or the nobles, would be her enemy. Couldn't she do whatever she wanted?

But Lynn shook his head:

"No, this matter will only make sense if it is carried out before the coronation. Moreover, it is of great significance to Historia now. It can only be done with the help of Her Highness Hedwig."

Hedwig frowned slightly, glanced at Historia, and saw that the other party was also confused, as if he didn't know what medicine Lin En was selling, so he sighed:

"Well, Your Highness Lin En, tell me what you want. If I can help, I will do my best."

After getting the nod, Lin En nodded slowly and stated his request:

"We want to see His Majesty Cantrad."

The silver-haired princess' pupils suddenly shrank.

But it was only for a moment. The next second, Hedwig had returned to her normal state and smiled reluctantly:

"At this moment? This is not appropriate, Your Highness Lin En, you are not joking, are you?"

"Why not?"

Lynn asked rhetorically.

"It's not that Shia can't,"

Hedwig shook her head and said:

"Once Xia obtains the inheritance and obtains the secret fire, she can go to see her father as she wishes."

"No, it has to be now for it to make sense."

Lin En shook his head and said seriously:

"Before coming here, I spent some time asking other princes. Since His Majesty Cantrad's old injury relapsed eight years ago, he has lived in the palace for a long time and has not seen any ministers and children. But only His Majesty Hedwig, who also lives in the palace, is an exception."

"So, since you can see His Highness Cantrad, why can't His Highness Historia?"

He pointed at Historia.

"You have seen it, His Highness Historia seems a little confused and not in good condition. The inheritance ceremony of the secret fire has a chance of failure. If we let His Highness Historia inherit the secret fire, what if it fails? At that time, if this time is also like the time of the fire secret realm, it will be exposed to everyone, but we can't summon His Majesty Rudolf's heroic spirit to help a second time, right? At that time, it will be a real failure."

Lynn's rebuttal is well-reasoned.

Hedwig pursed her lips slightly, as if she was thinking.

Lin En looked at Historia again and asked:

"Your Highness Historia, do you want to see His Majesty Cantrad?"

"I?"

Historia was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyelids. How could she not want to see her father? But even though she was slow-witted, she also noticed that the atmosphere between Lynn and Hedwig seemed a little wrong. Moreover, why did Sister Hedwig keep stopping others from seeing her father?

She shook her head, as if trying to shake out the increasingly suspicious and uneasy thoughts in her mind, so she tried hard to suppress the uneasiness and said reluctantly:

"Of course I want to, but you guys should stop..."

"No, there is no but."

The one who said this was Hedwig. She looked at Historia with apologetic eyes:

"I'm sorry, Xia. I was too wishful thinking before and ignored your thoughts. In fact, it was my decision not to let everyone see my father. But at this moment, His Highness Lin En is right."

"elder sister?!"

Historia was a little surprised, but she didn't know whether she should be shocked that the reason she couldn't see her father was really Hedwig, or because of the surprise that she would be able to see her father soon.
