Located on the outskirts of the imperial capital, there is a large wetland with a pleasant climate and lush grass. It is a paradise for animals and plants.In the center of the green wetland, there is a large sky-blue lake, like a beautiful sapphire.Flocks of egrets fly in the sky, reflecting on the lake like a mirror.

At the junction of sky and water, stands an elegant medieval castle.Transparent blue spires, suspended circular corridors, flowers and emerald green ivy adorn the white exterior walls.Like an elegant and noble beauty, dressing up on the lake like a mirror.

This castle, known as Crystal (Crystal), was the summer resort of the imperial family.Every summer, some members of the royal family come here for vacation.And now there is only one member of the royal family here, but he is also the most honorable one—Emperor Arthur Eric of the Empire.

The castle was heavily guarded because of the emperor's arrival, but the beautiful young man in blue water seemed to be in no one's land, and the royal guards and hidden guards in the dark did not stop his arrival.

Lance took the elevator all the way to the lower level of the castle, and when the elevator opened, a piece of water blue greeted his eyes.From the transparent zenith, colorful light patterns like scales fall.Schools of fish are playing leisurely in the lake outside the Zenith, and occasionally the sound of water waves crashing can be heard.

Lance walked in the wide corridor with strides, the surrounding water columns made the sound of running water, the floor was made of special materials, just like the clear water surface, and the young man drew ripples under his feet when he walked quickly.

The decoration in the corridor is decorated with flowers and precious stones, which is luxurious and elegant, and there are colorful crystal clusters everywhere, just like a dream.It's like entering the mythical Crystal Palace.

In front of the palace at the end of the corridor, a middle-aged man in a black long-tailed suit solemnly saluted the boy.

"Lance von Alembella requests an audience with His Majesty the Emperor." The young man said after returning the salute.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you." The middle-aged man made a gesture of invitation.

Lance slowed down and walked into the palace.The round palace is also supported by water columns around it, and the walls around it are completely transparent, so you can clearly see the fish swimming outside.

In this blue water, a tall man stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the scenery at the bottom of the lake.Wearing a simple robe with wide sleeves and a waist, the medieval retro tailoring looks elegant and noble.The front hem is slightly shorter and the back is slightly longer. Wearing casual trousers and short white leather boots makes it full of fashion and vitality.

The big golden curly curls were tied with silver ornaments, and the man turned slightly when he heard footsteps.

The boy immediately knelt down on one knee, "Lance von Alembella..."

Before he finished speaking, his wrists were lifted up by a pair of strong hands.A melodious and gentle voice came from next to my ear, "This is not a palace, so those cumbersome etiquettes will be avoided."

Lance raised his head, and met a pair of purple jewel-like eyes, not like William's lavender gentleness with hypocrisy, nor Harry's deep purple cruelty and wildness, and even less like that demon The man was shining with evil light.

The quiet purple is reminiscent of the deep ocean, gentle and tolerant, with the vicissitudes of the years, but shining with wisdom.The emperor, who has entered his twilight years, has profound facial features full of the charm of a mature man. It is conceivable how handsome and extraordinary he was when he was young.The noble and personable temperament is still the dream lover in the minds of many women.

"Your Majesty..." Realizing that the two of them were very close, the young man was a little shy and a little scared.

Arthur showed a mischievous smile, "Lovely Lance is shy. Let me give you a kiss."

"Your Majesty!" The young man's cheeks were slightly red, but the tone that should have been reprimanded lacked confidence at all.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Arthur let go of the boy's wrist, and wiped the boy's forehead with his shirt, "Is there anything urgent to see me today? You're sweating profusely."

The noble emperor treated the young man like a kind elder, which made him feel excited.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Didn't you tell me to call me Arthur? I don't want a beauty like you to add the word 'uncle' when calling me." Arthur winked at the boy, "However, if you add' My lord' is a word that I think wrong."

Arthur didn't hear the boy's rebuttal before he noticed that the boy's bright, crystal-like eyes were staring at him.He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.With a snap of his fingers, a round water-colored table and chair rose from the floor.

"Let's sit down and talk."

"no need."

The purple eyes looked at the boy with doubts, and the latter also raised his head and looked straight into his eyes, "Your Majesty, I am here this time to ask you not to hand over the command of the joint exercise to William."

Arthur put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his deep purple eyes made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"why?"

"Because he can't bring victory to the empire, he will only tarnish the glory of the empire." The boy's water-blue eyes were full of determination, without flinching.

"Your Majesty, you also know him, please..."

The emperor raised a hand to stop Lance's questioning, and a trace of unexplained emotion flashed in the darkness of his dark purple eyes.

"Of course I know him. But I have given the power to deal with this matter to the prince."

"But……"

Arthur put his hands on the boy's shoulders, and Lance only felt that those hands were grasping very hard.He looked up in surprise, but the emperor's deep eyes made him unable to guess.

Lance walked out of Crystal Castle a little dejectedly. He turned his head and looked back at this dreamy palace between sky and water, and Arthur's gentle and melancholy voice sounded in his head.

"It would be great if I could be a fish in that water. Live freely and without restraint."

He suddenly felt that this beautiful and splendid castle was like a crystal cage.Beneath the gorgeous appearance is actually a tightly bound heart.

Lance clenched his fists, took out a special communicator, and pressed the number that he thought he would never dial in his life.

"It's Lance." The magnetic male whispered from the communicator, and the other party had a playful tone.

"I'm going to be the commander of this exercise."

"However, William really wants to sit in that seat."

"Ask your conditions." Lance really didn't want to waste time with the other party. He knew that the more he got in touch with him, the more he would be controlled by the other party.

The man's chuckle came from the communicator, "You are really refreshing. Then let's make a bet."

Lance had already expected that the opponent would come up with such a trick.He also knew what his request would be.That was the last trap he wanted to step into, but now he couldn't control his inner impulse.

"You say it."

"If you can win this exercise, I will grant you any request." Hearing the boy's cold snort, the man on the other end of the communicator smiled evilly, "But if you lose , then you have to..."

A gust of wind blew past, covering the evil chuckle from the man on the communicator.The boy's clothes fluttered, he stood resolutely in the wind, his lips were tightly pressed, his expression was stern, but those water-blue eyes were shining with an unyielding light.

"I promise you."
