"he".

In Hokuriku Common Language, "he" and "it" are not the same pronunciation.Randall keenly noticed the subtle difference in Cheng Xiezhi's words, and the corner of his eye fell on the side of Cheng Xiezhi's face for a moment, his eyes were dim and floating, secretly speculating about something.

The palace in the south of the empire was built by Randall's great-grandmother Tinaris II at a cost of [-] gold, which is not much worse than the imperial palace.

Resplendent and resplendent, extravagant and gorgeous.

However, when Randall succeeded to the throne, he was not keen on enjoying the palace. This palace, which was built with huge financial and material resources, has been vacant for a long time, and it has not welcomed its owner again until today.

There are hundreds of rooms in the palace, Cheng Xiezhi chose a room near the garden, and His Majesty the Emperor chose the room next to him without hesitation.

The servants and maids in the palace didn't even dare to express their anger in the face of such two distinguished guests, for fear of neglecting them, they hurriedly started preparing the most sumptuous dinner.

It's just that the two distinguished guests didn't pay much attention to this dinner. His Majesty the Emperor was busy dealing with the backlog of official documents along the way, and investigating the assassination on the way-this is very secret news. The assassination of the two people There is no fanfare, but this does not mean that Randall is willing to let it go lightly.

As a monarch with impure blood but inherited this rich empire, I don’t know how many nobles who secretly hoped that Randall would die. This is not the first assassination he has experienced, and the assassination method is not clever, but it just happened. In front of the God of Light!

Randall was furious.

The intention of the behind-the-scenes mastermind was not to assassinate, but to try to sow discord. If the God of Light and His Majesty the Emperor were together, and one of them encountered an accident, the precarious superficial peace between the temple and the palace would be torn apart immediately.

This is not a situation Randall wants to see.

The main messenger of the assassination was quickly found out.

He just happens to be the future father-in-law of Alvin, the son of the new Bright Temple.Duke Kane.

The Duke of Kane did all this for granted. Randall has no brothers or children. If he loses the throne, the next person who has the right to inherit the empire is the Duke of Kane who is closest to Randall.

"I hate people who think they're smart." Cheng Xiezhi put a freshly picked rose into an oriental porcelain vase and sighed.

What Duke Kane did could not be hidden from Cheng Xiezhi's eyes. He never liked being used by others, and he didn't like being pushed to the bottom line.

The system slowly said: "This may also be revenge against His Majesty the Emperor. Duke Kane has found out that the leak of the truth about the death of Alvin's parents is inseparable from His Majesty the Emperor."

But according to the system's understanding of the host, the host would definitely not think it was Randall's fault, but would only think that Duke Kane's behavior was extremely annoying.

really.

Cheng Xiezhi gently pulled out the thorns on the rose branch, and said: "But he shouldn't come to obstruct my eyes. Since the Duke is so free, let's find something for him to do. I think the Lord Son will be happy to help him." I share my worries."

The end sound provokes inexplicable danger.

The system shut its mouth, not daring to provoke Cheng Xiezhi, who was obviously in a bad mood.Cheng Xiezhi snorted and called the maid: "Give this flower to His Majesty Randall, and wish him a happy day."

The maid responded respectfully.

At dinner, Cheng Xiezhi once again saw the branch of rose he gave away on the dining table, quietly blooming on Randall's snow-white neckline.He propped his forehead and squinted his eyes for a while, then smiled softly before starting to eat.

He has always been picky about food requirements, and the chef in the palace spent a lot of effort to come up with a table of food that satisfies the God of Light.

Cheng Xiezhi held the knife and fork, and his mind wandered to other places—maybe it is possible to add a human chef to the "garden"? With a smile on his lips, "God of Light" added one more thing to the list.

The butler stood aside and spoke at the right time: "The local nobles have already handed over the post when they heard that His Majesty and His Majesty the God of Light are visiting. I wonder if His Majesty and His Majesty the God of Light will take time to summon them?"

The head maid added a suggestion: "If the two majesties think summoning them is too troublesome, you can hold a ball in the palace instead."

Among the upper-class nobles, balls have always been the most common way of communication.Cheng Xiezhi himself was not interested in this. His Majesty the Emperor looked at the bored Cheng Xiezhi, and was about to reject the proposal, but Cheng Xiezhi suddenly cut it off: "In this case, you can arrange it."

Randall frowned and nodded in acquiescence.

Cheng Xiezhi didn't speak anymore, he sat upright on the chair and listened to the system report the news from the imperial capital and the temple.

Irwin and the Duke of Kane's family broke up because of the death of their parents-in fact, under the pressure of public opinion, Irwin had no choice but to break with the Duke of Kane.The temple received an order from the God of Light, requesting a thorough investigation into the truth about the death of the Son's parents, and the emperor's servants were also happy to provide convenience, so that Duke Kane would have a big fall.

Duke Kane is in trouble.

In order to save Duke Kane, Anna begged Alvin to let her father go.As soon as she shed tears, Erwin couldn't help but soften his heart and wanted to stop the investigation, but unfortunately the situation was beyond Erwin's control.

Both the judge of the temple and the jury of the secular court intervened. The pope, whose status has plummeted because of Irwin's sudden appearance, wanted to turn Irwin and the Kane family into enemies, and secretly fueled the flames.

In the heat of the trial, Anna impulsively stabs Irwin.

This move further confirmed Duke Kane's charges.

Everything traced back to the source is an instruction from the God of Light.

Alvin can only use spells to contact Cheng Xiezhi, begging the God of Light to show his favor.

"...You are a benevolent god, you must be able to forgive the sins of ordinary people. Duke Kane has repented of his mistakes. My parents don't want me to spend my life in hatred...I am willing to choose to give him a correction Opportunity……"

The "merciful" God of Light rejected him.

The surprise on Alvin's face was transmitted to Cheng Xie's eyes exactly.

"Erwen, it is your kindness that you are willing to forgive him. But I cannot easily forgive a person who tries to hurt my believers." Cheng Xiezhi said meaningfully, "The most important duty of a god is to protect his believers."

He had no intention of continuing to talk to Alvin, so he cut off contact.

"...That's it." Alvin relayed the conversation between him and Cheng Xiezhi to Duke Kane and Anna verbatim.

Both father and daughter frowned.

Anna complained: "Does His Majesty the God of Light insist on getting involved in this matter? Obviously Alvin himself is willing to forgive. Why does Your Majesty interfere with the believers' own affairs?"

Alvin smiled wryly.

Unknown emotions flashed through Duke Kane's eagle-like sharp blue eyes.He realized that the so-called believers of the God of Light did not refer to Alvin at all, but His Majesty the Emperor who was hunted down by the people he sent not long ago.

The God of Light deliberately launched this revenge for his "believers", so he didn't even have time to deal with it.

He thought of Randall, who didn't believe in gods at all, and thought it was ridiculous.

"Let our respected God of Light bless his followers!" Duke Kane said coldly.

In the imperial capital, the Duke of Kane was involved in the murder case, but the atmosphere in the palace was lively because of the upcoming ball.

The head maid and the butler acted very quickly, and immediately sent invitations to the local nobles and priests, inviting them to the palace to attend the ball.

Everything is in order.

The only problem left was that neither of the hostesses who held the ball had suitable female companions.

"It's better to choose one of the noble ladies of the right age." The butler gave a reasonable suggestion.

"I don't need a partner." Randall refused stiffly, "I don't intend to dance with anyone."

When he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Cheng Xie, and the black-haired, black-eyed oriental youth tapped his fingers on the table lightly, wondering if he was considering the housekeeper's proposal.

"Dance." Cheng Xiezhi pondered.

The butler lowered his head, not daring to say that he hadn't actually considered arranging a female companion for the God of Light.Is there any noble lady whose status is so honorable that she can stand by the side of the God of Light?If His Majesty Randall is a queen, you can still consider one or two.

After a long silence, Cheng Xiezhi finally spoke: "Let's talk about it later. Randall and I will arrange this matter."

The butler breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is Your Majesty going to dance with any lady?" Randall asked softly after the butler walked away.

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to like going to balls." Cheng Xiezhi avoided answering his question.

"Yes." Randall did not hide his meaning, and directly expressed the most direct thought in his heart, "The ball among the nobles is too boring, but it is a luxurious way of communication."

Randall's tone was filled with displeasure. As the lord of the empire, he didn't like these nobles lying on civilians and sucking blood.He had seen the long bills of court balls, and he would have been more glad to spend them arming a knight than holding a ball.

Perhaps a "prom tax" could be added.Randall thought to himself.

Cheng Xiezhi sighed regretfully, "In this case, maybe I have to give up the idea of ​​inviting Your Majesty to dance."

Randall's pupils dilated slightly.

……

On the morning when the ball was held, Cheng Xiezhi broke a delicate rose, and the maid stood silently, waiting for Cheng Xiezhi to send the rose to His Majesty Randall's room as usual.

At first, the maid was shocked by the act of sending flowers, but after a few days, she got used to it.

In Hokuriku's tradition, giving roses is to express love, but the God of Light seems to have no such meaning.The maid thought he was simply sending a beautiful flower.

The maid watched Cheng Xiezhi remove the sharp thorns from the flower branches, and finally couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, why do you send roses to His Majesty Randall every day?"

Cheng Xiezhi's fingertips stroked the rose petals slowly, gently.

"I think what the rose represents in humans is very clear."
