Throne Steps

Saenz returned to the private house exhausted, and the female officer brought him the uniform and invitation card originally sent to Li Chen.

The pure white color already had a bad complexion, but when seeing these things, the uneasy look became even more obvious.The female officer was keenly aware that he was in a bad mood, and explained tremblingly: "Master Li Chen said no, we put it in his room, and he... put it outside the door."

"Let it go? I'm afraid it was thrown out." Saenz sneered, "Although he is not unprepared, he really doesn't intend to make me worry..."

The female officer hung her head, not daring to answer, not even making any movement, she still stood there with her clothes in her hands.

"Give it back to him and tell him—"

Saenz said: "If you have anything to say, come and talk to me in person."

Li Chen felt that Saenz was probably too busy to get angry recently.

Not only did he arrange dresses and seats indiscriminately, but he also had to communicate with Li Chen in person, which made it clear that he wanted to quarrel.

However, Lichen felt that no matter how eloquent he was, as long as Saenz put on an appearance of "you can't beat or do it anyway", he would still win or lose.And thinking about it this way, it is clear that Saenz is not going to win for himself, and he wants to "say it himself", isn't it intentional to make people angry?

Li Chen suddenly had the illusion of being reduced to a punching bag.

In order to prevent the two of them from talking too much when they met, when the female officer came to report that Saenz had returned to the mansion in the middle of the night, Li Chen made a pot of calming tea and generously sacrificed... No, I went to the appointment.

There is a small hall in Saenz's master bedroom, but when Li Chen arrived with tea, there was no one in the hall.Following the sound of the female officer closing the door softly behind her, Li Chen fell into a quiet atmosphere.

He didn't feel uncomfortable either. He walked to the window and looked out, quietly admiring the moon.

Not long after, Saenz's voice sounded from behind: "You look quite relaxed."

Li Chen turned around and glanced lightly: "You look a little sleepy."

Saenz should have just taken a shower, with some moisture all over his body, and there are still some drops of water in his long golden hair.I don't know if it's because he's back in his own place, so he's mentally relaxed, or because the hot water in the shower hooked up his sleepiness, and there's some exhaustion that can't be concealed between the pure white eyebrows and eyes.

After listening to Li Chen's words, he just smiled, and then sat down casually: "It's so late, I should be sleepy."

Listening to his tone, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief.After imagining many ways to start the dialogue, Li Chen still decided to try to be as normal as possible. If they fight each other at the beginning, maybe this ticking time bomb will explode.

He consciously walked across from Saenz, and slowly poured the tea from the pot into the cup, his movements were pleasing to the eye: "We have developed a new flavor, do you want to try it?"

"...Flower fragrance." Saenz picked up the teacup, didn't drink it directly, but turned it around before his eyes, "I heard it was specially developed for Lailier?"

This is about to start arguing?Li Chen glanced at him.The flower-scented calming tea is indeed Lailier's proposal. Her withdrawal has been completed, but she still needs the assistance of calming tea in the later stage.If she drank too much, she would naturally want to find some tricks.However, at this time, Saenz alluded to Li Chen's "borrowing flowers to present Buddha", wondering if his temper had already come up.

Li Chen decided to adopt a ignorant tactic, and after pouring himself a glass, sat down across the table and tasted it slowly.

They faced each other in silence for quite a while. It couldn't be said that it was pure silence, or that they were testing each other before the masters fought.Saenz raised his eyes and glanced over, then lowered his eyes, and Li Chen would look back calmly.

Finally, in this quiet and somewhat depressing situation, Li Chen spoke.

"You want me to speak in person, here I am." Li Chen put down his teacup and said, "Do you need me to state my point of view again?"

Saenz also put down his glass: "Go ahead."

"Then, that's what I think—" Li Chen filled up the tea for Saenz and himself again, "You probably made a...unreasonable decision."

Li Chen's tone was calm and his words were cautious, almost repeating some of Vagchenau's words in another way.

It's just the part that doesn't mention love or love at all.

Saenz was also very calm: "Is it finished?"

Li Chen thought to himself that today's fight seemed bound to be noisy, but his words were still calm: "It's over."

He made a gesture and asked the opposing debater to speak.

Saenz thought for a while, and the first sentence he said was: "Do you think I haven't thought about what you said?"

I don't think so, but it's your behavior of "knowing that there are tigers on the mountain and walking on the mountain with tigers" that is causing headaches!

Li Chen replied: "Since you have thought about it, why can't you make a choice that is good for everyone?"

To translate it, it is: Can you stop asking for trouble and entrap others?

"I don't think my choice is bad for everyone." Saenz gently dialed back his words, "And whether it's good... It's not you alone, anyone, who can decide on behalf of 'everyone'. "

Great, this has risen to the philosophical discussion of "Zi Fei Yu".Li Chen didn't want to go around in circles here, so he retorted directly: "Then, as the invitee, I feel bad, can you consider my feelings?"

"If I thought about your feelings, would you sit here now and discuss with me what to wear and where to sit at the ceremony?" Saenz's eyes darkened a bit, "You won't even come, but When the whole country is celebrating, run to some unknown corner to perform difficult tasks!"

Li Chen was silent for two seconds, and suddenly said: "Okay, you are very tired after talking about this, let's hurry up and tell the truth."

Extending the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife.Doomed to fight, don't spend any more time pretending to be friendly.

Saenz looked at him.

Li Chen didn't bother to wait for him to hold back any annoying words, and went straight to the point: "I admit, I can probably guess what you are thinking. But, from the perspective of Black Swan as a whole, now is not a good time; from my personal point of view , I'm not ready, nor do I cooperate with your thoughts."

He spoke decisively, and Saenz was not angry or happy, but his eyes were darker: "Are you afraid of being attacked?"

Li Chen felt that his question was inexplicable: "If I am afraid of being attacked, do I need to blame you? Is it necessary to support Iron Rose? Is it necessary to give away the head? Is it necessary to build a black swan?"

Probably because of habit, when Li Chen said this parallel paragraph, he still thought it was okay.After he finished speaking, he realized that he had "said the wrong thing".

These are all words to Saenz!Can you pass your brain when choosing an example!

Sure enough, Saenz also heard the "overtones". He noticed the annoyance on Li Chen's face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "You are right. It is because you are not afraid that I dare to make that choice."

Is this the point!

"So, you don't intend to consider my opinion, do you?" Li Chen narrowed his eyes, "What about the pure white color? I mean, what about Your Majesty? Would he agree with you?"

"He doesn't agree, so what?" Saenz actually laughed, "I told him, you are not afraid."

I X!

Li Chen was shocked by his circular robber theory: "If you do this, besides maybe satisfying your selfish desires, what benefit does it have? And in the end, it will still damage your reputation! Hurt others and benefit yourself. How can this matter be manipulated? "

"If you don't want to consider my feelings, don't speak for my own good." Saenz finally turned cold, "How many years has it been since the tree of life came down? A full 20 years! If you don't move forward, you Retreat, yes, but I will never take this step back!"

You talk about the situation with him, and he talks about your relationship with you, and Li Chen's anger also rises, or in other words, the anger that has been simmering for a long time can finally be suppressed.

"Have you really thought about it? It's been 20 years under the tree of life, so how many years did it take you to change from His Highness to His Majesty? Isn't it more than twice the time?!" Li Chen frowned, "You, you Your subordinates, everyone who supports you, have you followed me for no more than 20 years? This is how you ignore everyone's efforts and expectations. You said that I don't consider your feelings, so have you considered me?"

Their eloquence is really good, and they really understand each other, so every sentence is heartbreaking.It's not that Saenz didn't think about Li Chen, and it's impossible for Li Chen not to think about Saenz, it's just that the direction of their efforts didn't converge.

As far as the trend is concerned, Saenz is working in a more lonely and difficult direction.

But if he just admit defeat like this, why should he take the first step.

"You said that I disregarded my own efforts and disregarded other people's expectations, all based on your distrust of me." Saenz said, "Your evasion made your measurement of me deviate, so you That’s why you think too much about the consequences.”

"Too serious?" Li Chen retorted, "You have fallen out with your biological father, the current head of the pure white family, and the person who made you the heir. In your eyes, it is not serious, is it?"

"I disagree with him, and sooner or later we will fall out." Saenz narrowed his eyes, "I have already prepared for this."

Li Chen's situational thinking suddenly gained the upper hand: "You still want to fight for the throne?! Then you shouldn't do this, what do you let other nobles and people think? A future of pure white color, future excess, no initiative Mother, no queen, no heir! The promised fanatic followers chased the bed..."

"If you keep talking, I will rape you." Saenz said with a cold face, "I will punish anyone who says such things, whether it is the owner or you."

His speech was absurd, but Li Chen knew that he could do it.

"It seems that we can't talk anymore. I'm afraid the result of your talk with Your Majesty is similar. I hope he can take care of you so that you won't be as powerless as me." Li Chen stood up with a cold face, "If you don't think it's too motherly, I want to pour this cup of cold tea in your face right now to calm you down."

"He really cares about me." Saenz said, "It just so happens that he arranged for a girl to come over in a few days, you can deal with it."

Li Chen finally poured a whole pot of calming tea over.
