"Your Majesty only summoned His Highness Illya."
At the entrance of the palace, a burly general wearing golden armor and a sword on his waist stopped Shen Xiaowan with his hand and said coldly, "The rest of the people are not allowed to enter."
"I am His Highness Illya's personal bodyguard."
Shen Xiaowan tightened the handle of the hammer in her hand and said calmly, "If you don't follow, how can you protect His Highness's safety?"
"There is no danger in the important area of the palace."
The golden-armored general had a cold face and said mercilessly, "No one is allowed to enter except His Highness Illya!"
"Sister Xiaowan..."
Illya looked at Shen Xiaowan in embarrassment.
"You go in first, I'll wait here."
Shen Xiaowan patted her shoulder and said softly, "If you are in danger, just shout for help, I can hear you."
"oh."
Illya nodded sheepishly, and then walked into the palace gate under the leadership of a palace female officer. She looked back every step of the way, reluctant to leave.
Shen Xiaowan accompanied Ilia to the palace, which was the result of discussions between Zhong Wen and others.
After all, Zhong Wen and Ilia are men and women. If they go together, people with ulterior motives may spread the news that Her Royal Highness has brought a man back, which will inevitably damage the reputation of the blond girl.
Guo Guo is still young, and her life experience is not even as good as Illya's. Furthermore, although she has the Soul Realm cultivation level, she has a serious lack of combat experience, so she is excluded.
Not to mention Zhuma, the evil reputation of "Queen of Monsters" has already spread throughout the Jinyao Empire. Once her identity is exposed and attracts the attention of Emperor Bailechuan, the consequences will be disastrous.
Ever since, Shen Xiaowan, who had a good relationship with Ilia, became the only suitable candidate.
Until Illya left, General Jin Jia still stared closely at Shen Xiaowan, his face full of alertness, as if he felt a great threat from this charming and charming girl.
"No need to be so worried."
Shen Xiaowan chuckled and said, "If I wanted to take action, you would have died ten or eight times."
"you……"
The golden-armored general's expression changed, and he was about to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them alive.
His intuition told him that Shen Xiaowan was not exaggerating.
Just because the pressure released from the girl in the yellow shirt was so terrifying, just standing there made him feel tight in the chest and short of breath, and his breathing was stagnant, making him almost breathless.
Illya didn't know about the confrontation between the two people outside. She just lowered her head and silently followed the palace lady. Without Shen Xiaowan's company, she felt uneasy and lacked confidence.
The closer she got to the royal study, the more intense her uneasy feeling became. Beads of sweat were already forming on her fair forehead, and her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
She knew that the man was waiting for her.
The man she dared not love and hate.
The moment the female officer opened the door, a majestic figure with shining golden light came into Ilia's eyes.
Emperor Jinyao, Bailechuan*Nadu!
"You came."
Bailerchuan did not turn around, but turned his back to her and uttered three words coldly.
"Father."
Illya tried to calm down and replied in as calm a tone as possible, "My son is back."
"How have you been doing over the past year?"
Bailechuan seemed to be concerned, but there was not even a hint of warmth in his voice, as if he was just doing a routine thing.
"My son is doing well."
Illya replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, father."
What followed was a long silence. In the extremely embarrassing atmosphere, even the female palace official couldn't help but break into a cold sweat and became nervous.
"Reinhardt is dead."
I don’t know how long it took, but Bailerchuan finally slowly turned around, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was like a bolt from the blue.
"What? Brother, he..."
Illya felt her head buzzing, her delicate body trembled, and she almost lost her balance. She shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, he won't die. Father, are you kidding me?"
"From small to large."
Bailechuan's tone was extremely stiff, "Have I ever joked with you?"
"No, it's impossible."
Illya obviously couldn't accept the news at all, so she just shook her head and denied it, "Brother, he has reached the Perfect Soul Realm. There are few opponents in the world, how can he die?"
"It turns out you also know his realm."
A cold light flashed in Bailechuan's eyes, and his voice became colder, "Then do you know that he killed Frederick, Kinkley, Aragon, and more than a dozen royal children?"
"me……"
The shocking news that came one after another made Illya dizzy and at a loss, and she didn't know how to answer at all.
"Do you know that all Reinhardt did was just to allow you to ascend the throne of Emperor Jin Yao?"
Bailechuan stared at the girl's pale face and said word by word, "I have to admit that this kid is a cruel person. I underestimated him in the past."
"Brother, he... is for me?"
Ilya felt as if she had been struck by lightning, tears welling up in her eyes. She fell to the ground helplessly, crying so hard that she almost fainted. "Why am I so weak and qualified to get involved in the throne? Why, why is he so stupid?"
"Now all the royal children who have the right to inherit the throne have been slaughtered by him."
Bailechuan continued, "You are the only direct bloodline left in the Nadu family. As he wishes, from today on, you are the first heir to the throne of the empire."
"I, I don't..."
Illya was shocked and waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't want to be the emperor!"
"What? Reinhardt is willing to sacrifice himself for you, but you don't even have the courage to pick up the fruits of victory?"
Bailechuan's eyes narrowed and he shouted sternly, "Do you want his death to be in vain?"
"I, I have no power and strength, how can I be qualified to be the emperor?"
Illya said with heartbreak, "I don't want any throne, I just want my brother to live!"
"You really disappoint me."
Bailechuan's face became even more ugly, "For someone like you, you actually sacrificed my four sons in vain? It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!"
The thunderous roar of the Chaos Realm made Illya feel dizzy, her chest felt tight and she felt like vomiting. She collapsed on the ground weakly and could not get up for a long time.
"You are indeed not worthy of being the emperor, but there is currently no better choice."
After a moment, Bailechuan seemed to have figured out something, his eyes shone brightly, and he said word by word, "So from today on, I will announce you as the crown prince of the empire, and let a bastard with impure blood inherit the throne.
It will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of many golden clans, so you can take care of it yourself."
"Father!"
Illya suddenly raised her head and stared at him in shock, "Are you going to push your daughter into the fire pit?"
"Fire pit? No, no, no, this is a test."
Bailechuan sneered and shook his head and said, "If you can bear the anger of other nobles, you are qualified enough to be the emperor. If you can't bear it..."
Illya's face became increasingly ugly.
"...Then the person who kills you will become the new prince. During this period, I will not provide you with any help."
Just listen to Bailechuan continue, "I will announce this rule and it will take effect immediately. Since Reinhard wants you to be the emperor, then I will give you a chance, but whether you can grasp it or not, you have to
It’s up to you.”
"Father..."
Illya wiped her tears and bit her lower lip tightly, "You are so cruel."
"Are you cruel? No matter how cruel I am, how can I be as cruel as that kid?"
But Bailechuan had already turned around and never looked at his daughter again, leaving her with only a cold back. "If you want to blame it, just blame your dead brother. All of this is because of
He rises."
"Father, do you hate my brother?"
Illya didn't know where she got the courage. She suddenly stood up, stared at her father's back, and asked loudly.
"More than just hatred?"
Bailechuan was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Do you know how much I regret knowing your mother, and how much I regret bringing you brothers and sisters into this world? If I could go back again, I would definitely be born in Reinhardt
At that moment, I took his life with my own hands."
"Really? My daughter understands."
Illya didn't know why, but she suddenly became extremely calm, as if she was a different person, "My son, please leave."
After saying that, she turned around suddenly, took long strides, and rushed out of the imperial study room as fast as she could, never looking back again.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Illya is innocent."
When she walked away, an old figure suddenly walked out of the dark corner of the room, "She has been pure and kind since she was a child, and there is no way she would participate in such a cruel plan."
It turned out to be Marshal Brin who took Illya back to the imperial capital!
"Brin, my time is running out."
Bailerchuan's expression relaxed slightly, and he sighed, "If Ilia can't rely on her own strength to get through this level, even if I force her to the throne, how long can she sit in that seat?"
"I hope Your Highness can understand your painstaking efforts."
Marshal Brin said with a look of sadness, "Next..."
"Just announce it to the public as I said."
Bailerchuan waved his hand and said, "If she dies in this competition, it means that this is her fate."
"yes."
Marshal Breen hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed in response.
On this day, as the rules for the heir to the throne were announced, the entire imperial capital instantly boiled.
