Throne Steps

That night, the temple was open all night, and there were many believers.And Sarnlich's main house is also brightly lit, and celebrities and dignitaries gather here, which can be regarded as a rare event.

Li Chen holds an invitation card for the day, and must come because of reason and reason.So he returned to the mansion to have lunch in the middle of noon, and after resting for a while to cool off, he was repacked and sent to the capital of the temple.

Repacking means changing a set of clothes and re-entering the "battle".

Li Chen was forced to change into a uniform with a black background and gold trim, which was basically the same as the one he used to scare the girls that day, and it was even more eye-catching than during the day.Fortunately, there are various lighting blessings at night, and no matter men, women, young or old, they are all dressed up more fancy... Oh, no, more gorgeous nobles, Li Chen's small body is still easy to hide.

For example, Tania switched from a red velvet gown to a wide, layered skirt that blooms like her nickname, the fire rose.

In fact, her son has become the heir of the pure white color, so it is normal for her to be so high-spirited.But after all, she is Vagcheno's ex-wife, and this is the first time she has stepped into the pure white main house since the divorce, and she has to stay in the same hall with her ex-husband and her ex-husband's current wife... It's exciting to think about it .

However, those who want to watch the gossip think that they will spark fire when they meet, but the person involved did not stage the expected scene.Except for the moment when the host met the guest, the three of them were in different frames throughout the whole process.

Even if they saw that, the two sides of Po Jing just nodded politely and said a few words without exchanging pleasantries at all.

After all, Vagchenau didn't say anything like "how are you?", and the ambiguity index was zero; the biological mothers of the two twins also saw her like any other noble lady, with the same expression and no good Drama to speak of.

The gossiping wives looked away resentfully, and had to start discussing some questions without standard answers, such as "Which of the ex-wife and the current wife is better dressed tonight", "The change of the taste of the owner of the pure white color" and "Fire" Does Rose want to remarry?" etc.

When Tanya, Ruby, and Lailier met together by chance and said a few words, the topic of gossip was added to the topic of "why did these three women build a mercenary group?" Ya's marriage influence over Ruby and Pearl".

Well, in fact, because both Lailier and Ruby are still single, some families are about to move.

But what is obvious is that Ruby is still carrying the rumor of being rejected by Saenz. Everyone does not know the real reason for the time being, so they dare not touch her for a while.And Lelier still bears the label of being in a bad mood after a serious injury-of course, in the eyes of Vagchenau and Saenz, it is her strong emotional rebound after being insulted-people are not good at hitting her with a straight ball .

If the marriage status of these two is the most concerned among women, then the men's is even more lively.

Saenz, the freshly baked heir of the pure white color, Belen, the destined heir of the sea blue color from birth, and Cervantes, the color of silver and vermilion, are likely to be the heir as well.

Can't blame the girls for being too enthusiastic, these are the three vacant mistress positions!

Tonight, the three of them were surrounded by a "sea of ​​flowers", with all kinds of styles, much more beautiful and "lively" than Saenz's mansion that day.The dignified women's reserved gestures, twitching their fans, and making eye contact may all be hints.But their status is not too low, and it is impossible for the three bachelors to reject them simply and rudely. Once they stop, they will be surrounded by flowers.Belen's iceberg face is useless, and even the twins with pure white color have suffered, who made them still single?

Twins: My sister and my brother are not married, don't come to me!

But what was unexpected and reasonable was that Li Chen was teased by the wives again.

Honest, kind, sunny and cheerful boys are the tastes of little girls, and little villains in black uniforms are the hobbies of mature ladies!

Li Chen really admired them, they were dressed so grandly, and they could "accidentally" drop a fan at his feet as if they had eyes behind their backs. Could their movements be more smooth?

And tonight's situation... really can't just walk away and let them pick it up by themselves.

So Li Chen walked away with an expression on his face again, and let the waiter do it for him.

What I got was enthusiastic comments from the wives: "Oh, I'm so shy, so cute!"

The black swan was so frightened that it hid on a secluded outdoor balcony.

This is the second floor, and the outdoor balcony just faces the garden of the main house.Under the bright moonlight, the grass is luxuriant and the dwarf trees are lush, and some landscape magic crystal lamps are dotted among them, like a dream.There is also a small fountain not far away, and the sound of splashing water seems to bring a little coolness to the approaching summer night.

All this seems simple, but in the era without electricity, all similar facilities are powered by magic crystals.And even if these big families can use certain potions to recharge the magic power of the magic crystal, it will cost a lot of money to support such a project.

Although the pure white color leads the eternal color, it is no longer the most extravagant family in this respect.

"grown ups."

A waiter appeared on the balcony, and there was a letter on the tray and handed it to Li Chen: "This is for you."

Li Chen's night blindness caused him to not be able to see the color of the envelope very clearly, so he squinted his eyes and asked, "Who are you running errands for?"

The waiter replied respectfully: "An eternal color."

Oh... at least that's not from those horrible ladies.

In fact, Li Chen didn't want to pick it up, and always felt that this was another troublesome matter.But the hall is full of top experts in the league, he is not afraid that he will be killed immediately, so he still picked it up.

The waiter bowed and left.

Li Chen flipped through the envelope front and back, but didn't see any obvious signs on it, maybe the other party didn't want to attract other people's attention.

Just as I was about to open the envelope, the curtains on the balcony moved.In an instant, the letter disappeared from Li Chen's fingertips.

Those who came were actually twins of pure white color.

They should have come here by chance, but after seeing Li Chen standing here, the elder brother glanced at his younger sister.

"Hana."

Little Highness He Na nodded, turned around and opened the curtains and left.

Before Li Chen had time to salute her, he could only turn to his twin brother, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness Jose."

"Yeah." Jose nodded, "I didn't expect to meet you face to face in this situation."

Li Chen didn't talk to this pure white person face to face directly. If he wanted to talk about communication, there were only some official letters sent to him by the black swan before, and they were sent through Saenz's bridge.

Li Chen also didn't feel that His Highness needed to find him.

Jose's attitude was quite casual: "You came alone?"

Li Chen replied: "Yes, thanks to... for your care."

He originally wanted to say "His Royal Highness Saenz", but for a moment he wondered whether he should change his name to "Your Majesty", he hesitated for a moment and then simply jumped over.

Jose smiled: "He dotes on you, and the seat is very front this morning."

It's hard for Li Chen to respond now, so he can only deal with it with a smile.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not the one who opposes it." Jose walked to the railing, his eyes wandered in the garden, and then slowly fell on the fountain, "I know, he has been thinking about going against the owner for a long time. .”

Li Chen secretly raised his eyebrows: So, what exactly does this Highness want to say?

"The Patriarch takes a fancy to him, but wants to restrict him. Of course he will resist. The battle in the Northland is not for nothing, and the bloody reputation is not for nothing." Jose continued, "I think the Patriarch saw you today , his complexion has changed, haha."

Li Chen said with a wooden face, "I'm terrified."

"Fear? I don't believe it. Confronting the noble ladies, walking with Lailier, and going to the streets with Silver Beads... One of your things is really dizzying." Jose turned around, leaning on the railing and said , "Because of you, my dear elder brother found an excuse to have conflicts with the Patriarch very smoothly."

……Um?Li Chen looked confused: "What did you say?"

"I said, he used your sword very well—" Jose smiled softly, "First he dealt with his troubles secretly, and then mentioned the bright side as a shield, and now he is still using it to directly fight against the Patriarch. Order……"

"...Sorry, Your Highness." Li Chen tilted his head and apologized, "I'm really...can you make it clear?"

Jose raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't pretend to be with me. I'm on the side with Saenz and I know how smart you are. You pulled Lellier away from my elder brother. Who dares to underestimate you? "

Li Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, I am just a black swan. As you said, the black swan is the sword of His Highness Saenz, and what we desire is to fulfill His Highness Saenz's wish. As for why we do this, and It's not our turn to speak up."

"Well, although theoretically we are on the same front, I can understand that you are still wary of me." Jose left the railing, "Then I will go in first, Hana can't last that long alone, I wish you a good time." Have fun."

"Have a good evening, too, Your Highness."

Jose smiled, ready to go back to the hall.When he stretched out his hand and just raised the curtain, he suddenly turned around and said, "You...be careful, the Patriarch may not be able to tolerate you. Saenz has just become the heir, so he may not be able to notice every aspect for a while. "

Li Chen looked at him suspiciously.

"You don't need to believe it. When things happen, you will know whether I am right or not."

Jose dropped this sentence again, and finally opened the curtains and returned to the hall.

The night wind blew, and the curtains were gently blown.Through the gaps in the heavy fabric, the white gauze blocked Li Chen's sight into the hall, and also blocked the possibility of people in the hall seeing him.

He suddenly laughed.

"Differentiation meter, it makes a good job."

Pretending to be caring, but actually saying that Saenz used his "expression of emotion" to Li Chen to force Li Chen to stand in front of others.The translation of Jose’s words is: Saenz’s refusal to marry, let Li Chen deal with the noble girl, let Li Chen enter the temple as a black swan, all in order to anger Vagcheno and have conflicts with him .Then when Wagcheno made a move against Lichen, Saenz would have an excuse to fight against Wagcheno.

Li Chen pretended to be confused, but he could hear the deep meaning in every sentence.Jose's divorce plan is actually very good. It seems random, but every sentence is on the point.It's just that this "good" level is still far from enough in the struggle of pure white.

Li Chen, who has seen through Jose, thought: What is the use of separating Black Swan and Saenz for a Saenz faction like Jose?Is he going to rebel the day Saenz becomes heir?

However, if the premise of "Jose is a Saenzian" is not true...

"Lord Li Chen."

The third group of people disturbed Li Chen again, but this time he knew the person who appeared on the balcony - it was Saenz's bodyguard.

"Your Highness asks, do you want to stay in the host's residence tonight?"

Li Chen said with a wooden face, "No."

"Okay." The guard continued, "Your Highness said, if you don't want to stay here, you can go back to his private house, or go to the Black Swan's residence in the suburbs of the temple capital. Except for these two places and the temple capital, You'd better not go anywhere else. He'll be back as soon as he's done with his business here."

... This tyrant, can you think about why your brother betrayed him instead of thinking about where I am going all day long!
