Terrence sat in the courtyard, watching the trees that were putting out new leaves from the warm weather.On the table next to him was an exquisite porcelain cup, and the mellow coffee was still wafting with sweet and fragrant steam because it was not favored by the owner.

Earl Cantor walked over from a distance, noticed Terrence's bored expression and said, "Do you think this place is too boring? It's not my intention to be so rude, I just consider your safety, I hope you can Be patient for a while."

"No, the books you found for me are enough to pass most of my time. If you still have complaints about your dedication, I will be too uninterested." Terrence smiled and shook his head, indicating that the earl is here Sit down opposite him.

Returning from the extreme north to the imperial capital that was full of crises for Terrence, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, he temporarily borrowed at Earl Cantor's house as a distant relative.

"Then why do you look so worried?" The count bought himself a cup of coffee, took a sip slowly, his eyes were hazy and ambiguous behind the lingering heat fog. "For your hearty knight?"

Terrence's fingers trembled slightly, and the pink petals that floated to the back of his hand in the wind fell to the ground because of this movement.

He raised his head and looked at the count who put down his cup.

"It's presumptuous to say this, but I want you to listen to my experience of how old I am. Majesty and arrogance are the necessary 'talents' for people in high positions. If you want to ascend to the supreme throne, You must first make yourself a lonely person who can endure loneliness. If you care too much about your subordinates, you are helping them inflate their ambitions."

Terrence nodded: "Thank you for reminding, Earl Cantor. What you said is very reasonable, but I don't think being close to subordinates means being weak and deceitful. Although saying this is suspected of boasting, my subordinates We are all open-minded and upright people, and it is because of their qualities that I can sit here and talk with you. The sincerity of sharing weal and woe is worthy of my sincerity, isn’t it?"

Earl Cantor savored Terrence's words, and soon laughed out loud: "Your Excellency, what you possess may be an outstanding ability that surpasses the kings of all generations!"

"Thank you for your compliment." Terrence smiled, "But it's better to be cautious in your words and deeds here."

Terrence dismissed Earl Cantor's temptation, picked up the cold coffee and drank it.Moisture gradually filled his thirsty and burning heart due to anxiety.

Although he answered Earl Cantor's inquiry with righteous words, Terrence knew very well that at least he had selfish intentions towards Lancer Schevenlieu and others.

Compared with worrying about the other party's safety, what made Terrence more tossed and turned was the fact that the other party was serving by someone else's side.

Such an embarrassing desire to possess... Terrence closed his eyes and sighed softly.

"Ah, ah!" A loud sneeze sounded in the remote annex.

The guard on duty looked at the new blond companion, and said sympathetically, "Could it be that you caught a cold because you were poured with cold water last night?"

"My body is still strong, how could I get sick so easily?" Sai Lan adjusted the uncomfortable eye mask, and the drooping eyes softened a little. "Maybe someone is missing me."

"I hope it's not that hard-to-serve Prince." From a distance away from the door, the colleague who was also on guard curled his lips, showing an overwhelmed and frustrated expression.

Joey Abant is self-righteous and has a small belly. He was originally dissatisfied with the guards guarding the mansion, and often tossed them in different ways. Naturally, this new colleague immediately became a new toy for the unruly prince. .

Thinking of how Celan was repeatedly tossed and tossed by Joey Abant last night, the guard put on a toothache expression that empathized with him.

"Well, although we are also knights who have received honors, we are no different from slaves to the big men above." The guard was so full of resentment that he couldn't care less about words and deeds, and whispered to Sailan complained.

Sai Lan hurriedly made a hissing gesture, and said, "It's better not to say such things, not to mention that not all the nobles are like this Highness."

The guard glanced at Sai Lan, although he didn't know what he was thinking, but he kept his mouth shut.

After the two of them were quiet for a while, they heard a faint noise coming from the door.Sai Lan and the guard looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of comprehension and impatience in each other's eyes - it was obvious that Joey Abant woke up and started another day of tossing.

The voices in the dormitory became louder and louder, and finally a helpless valet poked his head out of the door and said to the two of them, "Your Highness is arguing again and wants to go outside, what should I do?"

As a newcomer who just arrived, Sai Lan also set his sights on another guard.

"It's useless to look at me." The guard spread his hands helplessly, "The chief guard said that His Highness must never be allowed to leave the annex."

"I just want to go out!" Joey Abant's angry voice came from the crack of the door, accompanied by a fireball the size of a human head, directly burning a big hole in the wooden door.The fireball continued unabated, hitting the opposite wall fiercely, blasting out the falling stone and brick slag, and then completely dissipated.

Joey Abant finally knew how to measure, and he dared not kill people on the enemy's soil, so the fireball flew out of the valet's head, and only burned the other's hair.But even so, the valet who didn't know magic and martial arts turned pale with fright, and sat down directly on the ground.

Joey snorted lightly, walked over and kicked the slumped servant aside, and said half arrogantly and half annoyed: "I am the prince of the Abant Empire, and I am not a prisoner who can be imprisoned by you at will! You treat me like this , aren’t you afraid that my father and king will be furious?!”

Sailan had a more solid understanding of the rumored prince's stupidity of not being aware of the current situation. He looked at the servant who hadn't calmed down on the ground, and couldn't help frowning and said: "The reason why His Highness is forbidden to go out is because the situation is chaotic now, beware of you If you are hurt, please rest here for your own safety, Your Highness.”

"I'm going to get hurt as soon as I go out? Then what's the use of you useless trash?" Joey Abant raised his eyebrows, and it was obvious that Sai Lan's persuasion turned into fuel for the fire.

His Royal Highness the prince still couldn't vent his anger after scolding sharply, so he raised his right hand and slapped Sai Lan in the face.

Sai Lan's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand to grab Joey Abant's wrist, causing His Highness the prince to scream out.It wasn't because Sai Lan used so much strength, but because he didn't expect the other party to block his slap, so he was shocked and angry.

Joey tried his best to pull back his arm but failed. His face was flushed red, and he screamed a little bit more sharply: "Bastard! Bastard! You low-class person, who will allow you to touch me with dirty hands!"

Although Sai Lan was sent as a bodyguard, he is not someone who can instigate offenses to any cat or dog, so instead of letting go, he retorted with a cold face: "Just now you didn't think I was dirty, didn't you still want to Did you hit me? After all, this is Sanin Pyle, not your palace. Since you want to use your identity to suppress others, you should first recognize your identity!"

After he finished speaking, he let go without warning.At this moment, Joey Abant was still pulling his wrist back desperately, and his body couldn't help leaning back. If the attendant hadn't supported him from behind, he might have fallen to the ground.

Joey Abant, who staggered and stood still, had a gloomy face. He regarded the scene just now as a provocation from Cyran, the fire flashed on his fingertips, and there was already killing intent in his eyes.

Cyran watched Joey Abant's actions cautiously.He understood that Cai's actions just now were inappropriate, but he would never tolerate this idiot prince's reckless behavior towards him, otherwise it would not only be embarrassing for him, but also the dignity of his real master would be lost.

Once you fight...

Sai Lan thought quite heartily that he might as well take the opportunity to resign. Anyway, there is more than one way to save this kid's life, and he can return to that person as soon as possible.

Of course, the last two people did not get into such a serious situation.

Because Joey Abant made too much noise at the beginning, the butler who was guarding downstairs hurried up after a while.

Seeing the messy corridor, the butler with a mustache frowned at first, but he quickly covered up the impatience on his face, put on a flattering smile and said to Joey Abant: "Your Highness, you are awake. Now, I will ask the servant to bring breakfast."

Joey Abant did not soften because of the humble attitude of the visitor: "What breakfast do I have, you all treat me in a negative way, and I still have to worry about who will poison the meal!"

It seems that this idiot prince still has a self-knowledge that he is not welcome to see—this is probably the unanimous thought of all the servants present after Joey Abant's words fell.

The steward nodded and apologized, "Your Highness, you really frightened me when you said that. We are all serving His Highness wholeheartedly, and we dare not show any disrespect."

"Not necessarily." Joey Abant snorted coldly, pointed at Sai Lan and said, "This guard just said something rude to me, and he committed the crime next time. I would like to know if this is his best effort?"

Sai Lan ignored Joey's accusation, but turned around and said to the butler, "Just now His Royal Highness insisted on going to the street, and I was just doing my duty to persuade him."

Before Joey Abant was about to speak again, the butler took over the conversation and reprimanded Sai Lan: "What does Your Highness want to do, is it possible that you, a little guard, can say whatever you want? Why don't you hurry up and tell Your Highness?" Admit it?!"

Having said that, the butler neither gave Sailan time to apologize nor gave Joey Abant a chance to continue to attack, but continued: "Your Highness, I have reported your request to the above a few days ago .You are a distinguished guest of our country, how can we restrict your freedom, as long as you can bring enough guards, you can naturally visit the imperial capital at will."

As expected, Joey Abant was distracted by the news, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Sai Lan's eyebrows moved slightly, and she glanced at the butler without any trace.

Joey Abant isn't really just a good-for-nothing idiot—at least he's not hopelessly stupid.

At the moment when the relationship between the two countries is tense, Joey Abant is undoubtedly the most important hostage as the enemy prince. When there is no war, his life is of course safe, but once the two countries go to war, he will definitely be taken. Festival flag.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that he had gained the freedom to enter and leave the mansion, he didn't bother to get serious with Sai Lan, and immediately left the annex with many guards and entourages. The destination was very obvious - the Imperial Capital Cathedral.

The two aristocratic teenagers accompanying Joy Abant looked at each other and exchanged some information.And the two rows of majestic guards were on guard against each other, and the atmosphere was tense.

It was not luck that Sairan could easily become Joey Abant's bodyguard, but that the prince was surrounded by multiple empire forces competing with each other, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes.And Abant's ability to come out today is also the result of many confrontations between the upper-level forces.

Joey Abant thought he had an opportunity, but he didn't know that those invisible behind the scenes made it himself.The little prince wanted to go to the Church of Light for help, but he was unaware of the dark tide behind him.

The cathedral is still as white as jasper, and the statues look down on all living beings with compassion.But compared with the gathering of believers a year or two ago, the Bright Church is obviously much more depressed today.

On the one hand, it was because Terrence subtly changed and established the beliefs of his peers during his schooling, and on the other hand, because there were many nobles in the imperial capital, they still maintained a skeptical attitude towards this former accomplice of the enemy country.Since Duke Pacino came to power, he also used his iron fist to suppress religion.

Therefore, the Illuminati Church, which has not yet gained a firm foothold in Saninpel, is seeing it crumbling in this vast country.

When Joy Abant led a large group of people into the church, the scattered believers sitting in the mass hall stood up in panic.

Because Duke Pacino's attitude towards the church has become more and more severe recently, so when they saw many guards with weapons coming in, the believers thought they were targeting them, and quickly stepped aside, trying to reduce their sense of existence—after all, they were entering the church. Protestants who have not been taught for a long time, their beliefs are still not firm, who is willing to lose their lives for their religious beliefs?

Archbishop Sidney, who was preaching on the stage, frowned secretly when he saw this scene.He turned his head and told the priest on the side to go over to appease the panic of the believers, while he straightened his clothes and faced Joey Abant.

"His Royal Highness came to the church, I don't know whether to pray or ask for holy things?"

Joey Abant twitched his fingers hidden under his sleeves, and said as calmly as possible: "I haven't been able to sleep well recently, so I want to come to listen to the holy words of the God of Light. Who knows that it just happened to be the archbishop you are preaching today , I want you to hear my prayer..."

Having said that, Joy Abant still couldn't control himself, and added another sentence: "—I hope you can listen to my prayer alone."

The kind smile on the lips of Archbishop Sidney did not change at all, as if he did not understand Joey Abant's hint, he looked at the civilians who had been comforted by the priest on the other side of the hall with tolerance, and said: "The God of Light Under the holy light of God, everyone is equal, and since His Highness is praying sincerely, together with other believers, we can feel the existence of gods even more."

Sidney served in the Heresy Inquisition in his early years, and later became a bishop. He has come into contact with all kinds of people. Sidney can see through a simple and stupid person like Joey Abant at a glance.The anxiety and panic rolling in the opponent's eyes was too obvious.

The position of the Church of Light is now ambiguous, and it only depends on which one has a better chance of winning, Sanin Pyer or Abant.Joey Abant thought the church would help him, but he didn't understand the situation at all.

Joey Abant tried to strike up a conversation with Sidney several times, but he was cleverly evaded by the other party, but he was still stupid and didn't know it, and he was only complaining about why there were so many coincidences today, so he couldn't have a serious talk with Sidney talk.

And in the blind corner of the mass hall, which was hard to see, a slender young man with blond hair hid behind the stone pillar, and his eyes flicked in the direction of Joey Abant from time to time.

A priest followed behind him, and was whispering to persuade him to leave: "Master Aldrett, there are too many people here today, the archbishop may not have time to teach you, you should come back tomorrow."

Angus ignored the pastor's words and kept his eyes on the hall, but what he was looking at was not Joey Abant, but——

Sai Lan suddenly frowned, followed a certain intuition to look diagonally behind him, but found nothing except the exquisitely crafted sculptures.

Angus, who escaped in time, followed the priest's lead and left the church with a smile on his lips.

Joey Abant's attempt to get the church to help protect him has been utterly thwarted.To be more precise, he failed to convey his thoughts to Archbishop Sidney at all, and the sun soon set, and while there was still twilight, the chief guard in charge of the prince's safety ignored Joey Ah. Due to Bant's self-willedness several times, he insisted on heading back to the annex.

A group of people surrounded Joey Abant and left the church. Archbishop Sidney stood at the door of the church and looked at their backs. He slowly moved his gaze to the sky. For some reason, the red sunset made him a little distracted. Restless.

The distance from the annex to the church was not too far, and it would take less than half an hour to go back by carriage, but it was difficult to speed up when there were two trains of guards.

Just as the group of people reached the sparsely populated road, four masked men in mage short robes suddenly appeared from the corner.The incident happened suddenly, and the guards immediately took up their weapons and blocked Joey Abant behind him.
