Throne Steps

No matter how many scenes of being "banned" by his highness in Li Chen's mind, on the third night, Saenz finally carried him over.

The meeting place is quite special, not the small study before, but the small living room in Saenz's bedroom suite.As soon as Li Chen entered the door, he saw Saenz leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, and two beautiful girls were half kneeling and half sitting at the tea table, making tea very elegantly—then stopped at the door.

"I... didn't come at the right time?"

His tone sounded puzzled and vaguely frightened, but it was clearly a routine joke.Saenz opened his eyes, and the silver pupils were meeting the black pupils.

Li Chen noticed that the other party was a little tired, and finally put away his joking thoughts, and saluted in a regular manner: "Good night, Your Highness."

Saenz sat up slightly.The girls kneeling on both sides saw his movements, looked at each other, bowed their heads and saluted him, and both of them walked towards the door.One of them has chestnut curly hair and an oval face, with warm smiles in their eyes, and they are elegant and dignified in their gestures; the other has a slightly darker complexion, but has bright eyes and a lively expression. There is a slightly exotic color between their gazes, and they feel more graceful when walking.

Li Chen gave them a small step, and they both smiled back at Li Chen, and followed the housekeeper out.

Only Saenz and Li Chen were left in the room.The lamp stand stands on the low table next to the soft chair, and the soft light caresses Saenz's admirable face at any time; two cups of freshly brewed tea are placed on both sides of the small coffee table, and Teng can still be seen vaguely. The gurgling heat rose.

If it was placed before, Li Chen would have to tease Saenz a few words, but now he opened his mouth and said: "Out of the four female officers brought by Your Highness, only two can be trusted?"

These words are not accusations, but worries and doubts.Li Chen had teased His Royal Highness Fujalal when he got engaged (maybe) he was still a virgin, but later he also realized that this group of noble pure white women will have a room full of female officials when they grow up.Saenz is now stationed in the north, and only brings four of them with him to take care of daily life—and sometimes solve some problems—but these four are also their own masters.

Before Saenz made it clear, Li Chen would not rashly identify the faction of the people in the courtyard.Now His Highness called himself in front of these two female officials, which meant to let both parties recognize their own.Li Chen suddenly realized that these female officers were on duty to take care of Saenz; that is to say, Saenz had been silent for a few days before, probably because the other two female officers were on duty, so it was inconvenient to move.

If this is the case, Saenz's situation may be worse than Li Chen expected.

Saenz did not answer Li Chen's question directly, but said: "The real battlefield is still the capital of the temple, and that is a place where we cannot relax for a moment."

Li Chen automatically translated it as "most of the trusted forces stay in the base camp", but he didn't dare to ask about the current situation in the capital of the temple.Even if it's just a stopgap measure, Saenz is by no means a character who wants to be dominated.Li Chen was already unable to intervene in the current capital of the temple. On the one hand, asking Saenz was troubled, and on the other hand, it was easy to be misunderstood as coveting power.

Seeing Li Chen's silence, Saenz sneered again: "Is the image set to become a fool? Don't you know come here?"

Li Chen responded, walked over to Saenz and sat down: "The old departments of Akye may have some clues."

Previously, Li Chen only mentioned to Saenz that Akye had some status in the Lone Wolf, but he didn't go into details, Saenz naturally had doubts.Now that he took the initiative to mention it, Saenz was still a little stunned: "Who is he from the Lone Wolf?"

"It's hard to say." Li Chen replied, and added before Saenz raised his doubts, "Although what he said cannot be called a lie, some details are not reasonable. Telling it will only make you more troublesome." —do you still want to listen?"

"Long story short," Saenz said.

Li Chen thought for a while, and came up with another news headline sentence pattern: "The old leader passed the throne late at night and died suddenly the next day. The suspicion of succession is hard to escape once he is exposed."

Saenz didn't want to express his feelings about this expression anymore, he just asked: "What do you doubt?"

"I suspect that he was betrayed." Li Chen paused, and then said, "I also suspect that your elder brother has a lot to do with the killer's nest."

Saenz's expression turned serious: "Impossible."

Even though Fjalal and Saenz are rivals, even though Saenz's image is not only pure and kind, but the contamination of pure white and evil power is still a taboo.Saenz's rebuttal was not only out of maintaining the pure white color, but also a judgment on Fujalal's behavior.

Pure white allied with killers?Fujalal is not mentally retarded, how could he do these things that do far more harm than good.

Li Chen didn't think so: "Ai Deren is a lone wolf, and Ai Deren belongs to His Royal Highness."

When Ai Deren disappeared, Li Chen had suspected his relationship with Lone Wolf.Now that it was confirmed—at least on the surface—Li Chen couldn't let go of this opportunity.How could he not know the taboo of pure white?Even if it is indeed "nothing", there must be a serious "yes"!

Saenz stared at Li Chen: "Don't talk nonsense, don't act rashly."

This is not the first time that Saenz said that he missed the news about Long, and he stopped Li Chen in the same way.However, today, Li Chen's answer is: "It's too late."

In the current situation, there is only one person who can spread the news about Aideren.But he has power behind him, if he doesn't convey it as soon as possible after escaping from the lone wolf, I'm afraid he will be regarded as the instigation of the power behind him if he talks about it later.

Of course, speaking now, it was also instigated by someone.

How transparent Saenz was, he guessed Li Chen's actions almost instantly, and said coldly, "I underestimated you."

Li Chen's team roster was personally asked by Saenz, who accidentally created such a big opportunity for Li Chen.Just such a trip to Samuel made the younger brother of Yan Ying's deputy head become his subordinate.

Li Chen had expected that Saenz would get angry, so he stood up honestly and bowed: "This subordinate is panicked."

Saenz sneered and said, "Are you scared? You wouldn't cause me such a big trouble if you were scared."

Li Chen bowed his head and said in a low voice, "I would like to share the worries for His Highness."

It is true that the lone wolf is a mad dog that no one wants to mess with.Although Li Chen's move can hurt Fujalal's reputation, it is hard to guarantee that the two parties really hit it off.At that time, with Fujalal in the light and the lone wolf in the dark, it may be even more bloody.

Of course Li Chen understands Saenz's scruples, but his thinking is far more flexible than Saenz's.The Federation expressly prohibits raising private soldiers, but if Saenz just asks his "good friends" for a favor, no one can blatantly criticize him.Yanying, whom his Royal Highness took over, was a serious mercenary regiment after all, and it was no problem to raise troops secretly and borrow someone or something.Fujalal also has this idea, but it is heard that it is still wavering in the past few years.Li Chen asked Xia Luo to let the wind out in the mercenary group secretly, in order to keep Fujalal's candidate allies away, and it is best to pick them out of here.

As for whether the Lone Wolf and Fujalal really form an alliance, Li Chen doesn't really care, at least not now.

Saenz originally thought that the actions of Akeye and Xia Luo would allude to Li Chen secretly, but he couldn't utter the words of worry when they came to his lips.It has to be said that this is definitely the sequelae of Li Chen's disgusting drama a few days ago.

After a turn of doubt, and thinking about the uncertainty of life and death before, Saenz finally sighed silently.

"come over."

Li Chen has long been accustomed to this kind of tone of calling and going, and stood honestly in front of Saenz.

"Squat down."

Li Chen squatted down again.

Saenz pressed his right palm to the top of Li Chen's head, and the palm was warm.Accompanied by Xu Xu's unintelligible words, Li Chen felt a clear stream of power rushing into his body from the top of the sky, which was not intrusive but hard to refuse.It walked around Li Chen's body following a certain pattern, stirring the magic power in Li Chen's body as if there was nothing, and finally reached the heart, and gradually dissipated.

When Saenz withdrew his hand, Li Chen vaguely sensed a mysterious feeling, as if there was something he cared about suddenly, and the sense of existence kept brushing in his heart, and it was difficult to let go.

One thing after another turned in my mind, but I couldn't match this feeling.Li Chen savored carefully, then paused suddenly, then raised his head to look at Saenz.

Saenz's tone was still cold: "Get used to it early."

It really was Saenz who aggravated the contractual relationship between the two!Li Chen was quite surprised, and felt a little happy in his heart, but he answered honestly: "Yes, thank you for your kindness."

The previous master-slave contract between the two only limited a relationship, which could have the effect of restricting Lichen's behavior within a certain range.The typical restraining power, such as the spirit of words, seems a bit redundant between the two, and Saenz doesn't often use it.Now the contract of relationship is aggravated, so that both parties can perceive each other.Just like originally there was only a long thread tied between two people to ensure that the other party could not escape; now the thread is suddenly shortened, and the two can follow the swing of the thread to detect where the other party has gone, whether their lives are safe, whether they are safe or not. everything is fine.

In such a relationship, Lichen, as the subordinate party, will feel stronger than Saenz.At face-to-face distance, nature is even more difficult to ignore.

Saenz would do this largely because Li Chen's trip to Samir was too precarious.He convinced himself that this was to warn and control Li Chen who acted without authorization, but he took the opportunity to use magic power to circle the other party's body when strengthening the contract, and quietly withdrew after confirming that there were no hidden wounds that could not be detected.Li Chen's cooperation made the strengthening process very smooth. This kind of feeling is probably enough to feel that the whole Retia is enough.

Li Chen understands that this is Saenz's way of expressing "care", and on the one hand he is happy, but on the other hand he feels that His Highness, who seems to be shy, is also quite cute.

He didn't get too entangled in the matter of strengthening the contract, but slowly stood up: "Akeye's matter, you can take your time. You still need to plan ahead for the lone wolf's mine."

Saenz followed him and changed the subject, pointing in the direction of the bookcase: "There is a letter in the dark compartment, take it out."

Li Chen walked up to the bookcase, opened the glass door, pulled out the second and third books from the right in the second row, and then pushed down on the lower end of the wooden board at the back, and a thin drawer popped out from the second shelf .

This is Saenz's secret compartment, and Li Chen has seen two other bookcases with the same mechanism.Earlier, Li Chen reminded Saenz not to use an overly unified hidden grid structure, but after all these years, Saenz still does his own thing.

Li Chen realized it by himself.It is estimated that this is just to put some things that are not harmful even if they are lost. After all, telling the subordinates the location of the secret compartment is also a sign of trust and a means of winning.

This time there are two things in the dark compartment.One is the map that Li Chen handed to Saenz—I don’t know whether it’s joy or sorrow to put it in this kind of hidden compartment for wooing—the other is a very small wooden tube, which seems to be a secret letter.

Li Chen took out the wooden tube, and stroked the simple sign at the end of the wooden tube with his index finger - rock eagle?
