"Yes...it's been a long time."

Meng Na took a deep breath, suppressed the uncontrollable desires and fluctuations in her heart, avoided her eyes, and deliberately did not look at the other party's face.

"It's rare to see each other again. Your Majesty and I are old friends... Why don't you find a place next to us and have a drink?"

She asked half anxiously.

As a senior executive of the shelter and one of the five adjudicators under the chief adjudicator of Wangcheng Headquarters, Meng Na of course knew from the information that the man in front of her had left the ordinary world, ascended to the holy throne, and became a respected majesty.

She was happy for the other party, but when they met at this moment, she couldn't help feeling nervous and in awe.

"Of course, that's exactly what I mean."

Chen Lun laughed.

Meng Na was taken aback, she didn't expect the other party to be so gentle and refined, she relaxed a little bit, regained her previous ability and generosity, and walked to the sofa seat in the corner together.

After calling the waiter and ordering a bottle of red wine, Meng Na said:

"Actually, I have been in Wangcheng for a while... When His Majesty came here as the head of the Generous Council, I had the idea of ​​visiting. Unfortunately, I was so busy with work that I didn't have time at all."

"All encounters are guided by fate, and this is also the case at this moment."

Chen Lun took off his hat, put it on the table casually, and said with a chuckle.

For some reason, Meng Na's face froze when she heard the word "fate", her smile gradually faded, and her eyes dimmed.

"Miss Mengna strongly recommended me to join the Imperial Tribunal before, and I would like to express my gratitude to you personally..."

Chen Lun said.

After hearing this, Meng Na squeezed out a smile.

"You're welcome, Your Majesty Jack, I have always believed that the Imperial Jury lacks people like you."

Chen Lun poured two glasses of wine, gently pushed one to Meng Na's face, and raised the other as a gesture.

"So as a reward, or as an admonition before farewell, what I want to tell Miss Mengna is... You have a color of justice that many people don't have. This kind of justice is not extreme or false, but the persistence of the lowest level of human nature. , I think the empire does not lack people like me, but lacks law enforcement officers like Miss Mona."

After hearing this, Meng Na couldn't help being dazed.

The perfect man reflected in her eyes was smiling lightly and taking a sip of red wine, and then he heard him continue:

"So Miss Mona should stick to her dreams and beliefs. As for revenge... I think you can let it go completely, because Howard is dead."

Meng Na was stunned as if struck by lightning, and she couldn't turn her head around.

"You... what did you say?!"

"Your enemy no longer exists, Miss Mona, continue to pursue your beliefs. I hope that one day in the future, I can see that the empire will become even better with your help."

After Chen Lun finished speaking, he put down his wine glass, put on his hat again, got up and left.

After a long while, Mengna finally came back to her senses.

She seemed to understand something, and hurriedly called Jack, but when she looked up, there was no sign of him in the lively reception hall.

Mona wept tears of joy, immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. After exhaling a hearty breath, she held up the empty wine glass as if no one else was there, and saluted in the direction Jack left.

She murmured softly:

"Thank you... thank you! Mona will never forget your words!"

Downey was hiding at the bar not far away, staring at his boss, Mona, motionless. Seeing his goddess crying "in grief", he couldn't help but feel his heart breaking.

"It turns out...she already has someone she likes, no wonder she doesn't accept me."

Taking a deep breath, Downey secretly told himself that he should do something. He raised his eyes and saw that the man in the black hat had already walked away, gritted his teeth, and hurriedly followed.

Downey wants to find the other party, and ask for an explanation for Miss Mona, and it is best to get the other party to come back and apologize... As a gentleman, he should not leave ruthlessly after hurting a beautiful lady.

Soon, he found the other party.

But the gentleman in the black hat went straight upstairs and walked to a luxurious room. Two imperial guards standing at the door hurriedly saluted him.

Downey looked surprised. He recognized that room, which was the host of this reception, the lounge of Duchess Emmaline!

Who is that man?

creak.

As the door was opened, Downey suddenly heard a woman's voice:

"Oh, sorry! I almost didn't recognize you, Your Majesty! Her Royal Highness is waiting for you inside, please come in quickly!"

Through the corner of the stairs, he unexpectedly saw Duchess Emmaline, as humble and shy as a little maid who saw a nobleman, blushing to say hello, even not forgetting to raise her skirt to salute.

Your Majesty!

The person Miss Mengna likes is a high-ranking person!

Downey was startled at first, and then felt hopeless. His thighs suddenly lost strength, and he rolled down the stairs with a plop. After getting up enduring the severe pain, he declined the help of several waiters, limped back to the bar, and had a drink.

However, he didn't notice from the beginning to the end that there was a meaningful smile on the corner of the black hat gentleman's mouth all the time.

"Princess Emmaline, you are welcome."

He smiled politely at the lady in front of him.

Immediately, Bi walked into the room slowly with a straight figure. In the process, he slipped a note into his trouser pocket without any trace.

There were some dark handwriting on it impressively:

"...Donnie felt powerless after learning about the strength of the 'rival in love', so he gave up the idea of ​​asking for an explanation, and went back to drink to relieve his worries."

This is the first time Chen Lun has used the ability of [Desperate Joke]. He had discovered Downey's stalking early in the morning, but he was too lazy to explain or give a so-called lesson, so he simply did it casually and solved this little trouble.

"I wish you a pleasant chat with Her Royal Highness, and I will take my leave first."

Duchess Emmaline said respectfully, and called away the other people who were in the room, leaving Princess Anna and Jack alone.

click.

The door was closed.

Chen Lun put Downey's episode behind him, and went straight to the sofa, where a blonde woman was sitting on it, with an exquisite diamond-encrusted crown on her head.

"Jack, please sit down."

Princess Anna raised her hand to signal.

"I invite you to the reception this time. One is to celebrate my father allowing me to be in power. After all, it has been two years since the coming-of-age ceremony. It is not easy for me to finally be able to grasp this power."

"Congratulations, Your Highness."

After Chen Lun sat down, he congratulated softly.

He glanced at Anna indiscriminately, thinking inwardly that it was true.

The other party obviously didn't remember planning to assassinate Prince Dazlet, as if this incident had never happened. As for the missing logic gap, they spontaneously filled in their brains. In short, no one remembered what happened at the royal dinner. .

He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice:

"What about the second thing?"

"Second, of course I want to chat with you casually... I don't have many friends. After taking power, this situation becomes more obvious. It is a luxury to find someone to chat with."

Princess Anna sighed, then raised her beautiful eyes and asked:

"What? You don't want to?"

"Of course not... I mean I'd love to have a chat with Miss Anna."

Chen Lun laughed.

There was insight in his eyes, and he thought to himself, it seems that even if he forgot about the assassination, his favorability would not decrease... Perhaps in the heart of the other party, he is still a trustworthy friend.

"That's good, you're acquainted."

Anna gave him a blank look.

Immediately afterwards, her complexion changed, and she said seriously:

"The Scorching Sun Cross has a big problem recently... A while ago, the Church of the Seven Gods went crazy and arrested its members everywhere, causing us to suffer heavy losses. In addition, my brother has stopped responding to the prayers of believers for a long time, Members feel hopeless and the organization is on the verge of collapse."

She picked up the wine glass and took a sip, with a lonely tone.

"They're about to lose their faith."

Chen Lun listened silently.

He thought in his heart that when Anna asked him to join forces to assassinate the prince, the fundamental motivation was the oracle from the "scorching sun"... As long as he kills Dazlet, Arnold will be able to get out of trouble?

At that time, Chen Lun had already noticed the abnormality.

Because according to Arnold's temperament and his belief in the end of darkness, he probably would not issue such an oracle... Now it seems that this is obviously an illusion created by Howard, but to guide Anna and the Sun Cross to carry out the assassination and act as a guide It's just a fuse.

But it is meaningless to delve into all this now.

Prince Dazlet is dead, and Howard, the mastermind behind the scenes, is also dead. Even the relevant personnel involved in this matter are hardly remembered...

Chen Lun was deeply aware of the danger of high-ranking games, and he was even more determined to leave the royal city and temporarily avoid the whirlpool.

'Is the Scorching Sun Cross going to be disbanded...'

After listening to Anna's complaints, he suddenly thought of the land of Matthew.

This group of hidden forces from the underground world, composed of light descendants, their ultimate goal is not to help the "new sun" they believe in, but to use its power to save their hometown and the land that has never seen the sun.

Feeling something in Chen Lun's heart, he suddenly had an idea:

‘It’s a pity to give up such a powerful force, maybe it can be used again. '

He immediately raised his head and said to Princess Anna:

"Sorry Your Majesty, I just met an old friend downstairs and had two extra drinks. I'll go to the bathroom."

"Please."

Anna seemed troubled and seemed a little absent-minded.

Chen Lun got up and entered the bathroom, locked the door, and immediately took out an ordinary notebook, which looked like it was bought at a roadside grocery store, nothing special.

Turning a new page, Chen Lun's eyes were deep.

"Hide and seek."

He called silently.

In the raised right hand, an ivory white fountain pen quietly appeared, and the nib inlaid with gold and hardened silver fell down, and immediately wrote a paragraph of black cursive characters:

"...The Crusaders of the Scorching Sun are about to lose their faith and disband, but the leader, Anna, suddenly realizes that the scorching sun is trapped at the end of the darkness, and the hateful swarm of polluting insects is the enemy of God, and the members of the Crusaders should devote themselves to it. Among them, hunting the insect swarms and relieving God's worries... In a sense, this is a means of regaining faith and restoring cohesion... Perhaps in the near future, the swarms of insects will die out, and the scorching sun will rise again .”
