Throne Steps

As soon as the word "rival in love" came out, Li Chen instantly felt that his ears were going to ring.

There seemed to be thousands of thoughts crowded together in his mind, and he couldn't figure out a single one for a long time; it seemed to be blank again, and he couldn't even find a word to respond.

Saenz asked him what he thought of "the two 'rivals' in love" Belen and Ruby, and it was clear that he was determined to drag him into this melee circle!This Highness described the relationship between Li Chen, Belen and Lu Bi as "rivals in love"!

It sounds like he didn't give Li Chen a chance to refuse, but in fact he was alluding to his own feelings for Li Chen!It sounds tactful, but it is actually a straight ball. There is no straight ball more explicit than the word "rival in love"!

Li Chen was stunned for two seconds before his mind started to thaw and spin wildly.All the plans that he had thought about before were spinning rapidly in his mind.

Off topic?No, anything else would be more embarrassing right now.Playing dumb?No, this may force a more terrifying "straight ball".Taking advantage of the trend as a joke and anti-molesting back?Not to mention, if Saenz's fake show is real, it will be over!

Maybe...you can take this opportunity to cut through the mess...?

Saenz looked at Li Chen, watched his eyes go from bewildered, confused, confused, and then firm in just a few seconds, knowing that he might have found a way to deal with himself.

Judging from his expression, it doesn't look like a good thing.

"Your Highness." Sure enough, when Li Chen spoke, his expression was very serious and cautious, "I..."

Saenz interrupted him: "You know what Belen is thinking."

……what?

"As you can see, because of Belem's attitude, he is more indifferent to Rubi than to anyone else." Saenz straightened up and backed away, "What do you think of the relationship between them?"

...Hey hey hey!

"Although the relationship between Belen and Cervantes is normal, but their identities and personalities are there, so it's fine on the surface." Saenz untied his tie, put it on the table, and said, "But tonight, Beren's hostility towards Ruby is more obvious than I imagined."

That Shura field... He purposely brought Belen and Ruby together to speak tonight!Li Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Even if other people will understand that Beren is unhappy with Meloyeri and no one can compete with Ruby, but if this continues, it will always be detrimental to the relationship between the color of sea blue and the color of silver and vermilion." Saenz continued , "The mutual checks and balances between the two cannot be shaken yet."

No, no, don't talk about your marriage, Beren's "shocking" emotion and power balance together, Your Highness!Li Chen seemed to have thousands of things to vomit in his heart, but in the end, thousands of words turned into silence.

He didn't know whether he had made a mistake before, or Saenz did it on purpose, and he didn't know whether Saenz just interrupted him because he had noticed something.

But now that the topic is over, Li Chen won't bring it up again on his own.

He silently hung up Lichen's cloak and coat, as well as the collar and some accessories. Don't expect him to carry him to wash like a lady officer.

Saenz watched his movements: "Are you dumb?"

Li Chen withdrew his hands and stood still, bowed his head and said, "I'm stupid, I don't know what to do, I don't dare to speak up."

"Really?" Saenz chuckled twice, "Then the glass of wine you knocked over tonight was also 'stupid'?"

Rescuing people also saved Chou Lai... Li Chen sighed inwardly, and replied, "I was not careful."

"Oh..." Saenz approached again, he had already taken off his gloves, and forcefully lifted Li Chen's chin with slightly warm fingers, "Then should I thank you for your 'carelessness'?"

"Uh..." Li Chen didn't know which nerve was wrong, and said out of nowhere, "You're welcome."

Saenz just looked at him like this, pretending to be stupid, and didn't bother to point it out again. He just focused his eyes on his eyes: "Belen may look for you later, it probably doesn't do anything good, take it easy."

It's not your fault.Li Chen thought to himself, and replied: "Remember Your Highness's instruction."

Saenz looked at him deeply for a few seconds, let go of his chin, and said, "Don't panic too much after you know about Belen."

I don't panic.Li Chen thought: I was so frightened that I quickly poured a glass of wine.

"Speaking of which, I also have to thank Beren for this, although I thought it was troublesome before."

Saenz said so, his eyes fell on the fingertips that he had just let go of Li Chen's chin, and he stroked them lightly.

Then he said: "In this case, it seems that I am not so easy to get married, is it?"

Li Chen watched his movements, listened to his tone, and felt his scalp go numb.

During the New Year's banquet, Lichen was trembling every day, walking on thin ice.

No matter how others guessed why Saenz brought a black swan to this year's New Year's event, Li Chen always felt that they were too innocent.

Because he knew some incredible "secrets", Saenz used cryptic or non-cryptic words to tease people at every turn, and Li Chen was mentally exhausted on social issues once in a while.Every time he thought about making it clear and forgetting it, Saenz would change the subject lightly and let Li Chen just put in all his effort.Such repetitions made Li Chen tired of coping.

Does anyone care about the third highness who is pure white and the only young master who is blue?These two probably need a therapist, especially when it comes to emotional issues.

In contrast, the two young masters and young ladies in silver and vermilion are really much cuter. Whoever should go up will go up, step by step without any mistakes.

However, I don't know whether the color of silver and vermilion really doesn't know Belen's thoughts on Saenz, or it is purely tacit understanding.If it is the latter, it is not necessarily what Saenz said "what Belen will do to Ruby", but the silvery color that "impacts Saenz's fiancée position" will be against those who may stand up and hinder What would Beren Meloyer do.

In short, this is something that the nobles need to worry about in the future. Li Chen, who survived for a few days in the "crack", was finally released back to the Ainuma Temple.

After the long journey, the mental fatigue brought by Saenz to Li Chen gradually faded away.However, Fudexi and Akye met each other in the temple, and they still saw something wrong with him.

"What happened?" Fudexi's concern was always expressed in a mocking tone, "I haven't seen you as a weak chicken for a long time. When I went to various stations a few years ago, I didn't see you so depressed ah."

I'd rather travel to fifty different places and meet a hundred partners than be summoned by that one person.Li Chen glanced at Fudexi, curled his lips and said, "It's nothing... What are you holding?"

"The letter of thanks from His Majesty the Pure White, and the mission letter you sent back." Fudexi didn't look good when he mentioned this, he put the whole stack of documents on the table, picked up the top two A letter, "One letter is that you say you want to deal with this person, and the other letter is that your highness said thank you for tipping that person to make preparations... What are you playing?"

Li Chen was taken aback: "My order?"

Fudexi was also stunned, and he opened the front of the mission order in front of Li Chen: "Isn't this your seal?"

A black, simple swan pattern was printed on the lower right corner of the paper. Li Chen took a closer look and shook his head: "It's not mine."

"That……"

Li Chen touched his chin: "Follow it."

Both Fudexi and Akye looked at him unexpectedly.

"This is indeed not mine, but if you think about the path where this letter came from, you will know who gave the order." Li Chen shrugged, "Since it is his order, of course it will be carried out unconditionally, right?"

Fudexi narrowed his eyes: "It's pure white..."

"Well, it's a bit complicated to talk about." Li Chen replied, "To put it simply, it's someone from His Highness who brought another person in to harass His Highness, and His Highness asked me to ask Black Swan to come forward and teach that little Highness a lesson." Your Highness. I asked the Third Highness how to deal with this matter, and the Third Highness handled it on my behalf. Just follow his orders."

Fudexi straightened his thoughts, raised his eyebrows and said, "Speaking of which, it's just their pure white colors tossing each other?"

"Correct." Li Chen replied, "However, His Highness the Third Highness actually betrayed His Highness's face... It seems that he wants to win His Highness over."

Fu Dexi taunted: "Brown? My little highness has not yet awakened from his dream of being the Patriarch!"

"If he dares to help the Minister of Finance, he is likely to face the main forces of His Highness. After His Highness has dealt with him a few times, he will know what is a dream that can be realized." Li Chen said with a smile, "Second His Highness didn't want His Highness to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight, so he thought of at least pulling the black swan into the water. However, this just gave His Highness the opportunity to show kindness to His Highness."

He picked up the letter from the pure white little Highness, read it carefully, folded it and put it back: "If I'm not mistaken, Your Highness seems to want to see a black swan once?"

"He's not the only one who wants to see the black swan. What the hell did you do with that person? Why are there so many invitations from nobles suddenly?" Fodhi found several letters from the information and threw them on the table, and then deliberately took Picking up one of them, "Others can be dealt with slowly, you tell me first, how to reply to this thing?"

It was a blue envelope with a prominent family seal on the sealing wax.Li Chen smiled, did not open the letter, and just threw out another letter from the storage ring: "It's just right, take these two and have a look, and prepare a suitable gift as soon as possible. Um...Fodexi, You will come with me when the time comes."

Fudexi took a closer look, what Li Chen threw out was a light red envelope, and the sealing seal was a perfect match for the Fire Emblem.

"The color of sea blue and the color of silver and vermilion..." Fudexi sneered twice, "That person's right-hand man wants to see you, it seems that you have gained a lot from this trip!"

"You must be mocking me." Li Chen picked up the Black Swan mission order that Saenz sent on his behalf and put it in Akye's hand, "You arrange this yourself. Lailier's mission... I don’t dare to ask, but I can get a good price anyway, and if it’s stolen, I’ll give everyone New Year’s benefits.”

Akye finally said the first sentence since meeting: "Okay."
