After vaguely learning some of the secrets of the "treasure" of the Blue Pond Mountains, Alice was no longer surprised that Chen Rui easily entered and exited the magic circles along the way. As an additional clause of the agreement, the little Lolita made a special promise to Chen Rui.
, will never leak this matter, and also promised him to accept Jia's protection on weekdays and never be so willful again.
After listening to the two stories, the tired little Loli fell asleep on Chen Rui's back. When he held her and sat on the Triceratops, her green face was as peaceful as a newborn baby, giving Chen Rui
A feeling of peace of mind.
Three years...
Can time really change everything?
Chen Rui gently stroked the little Lolita's hair and suddenly remembered a classic saying, let's talk about the future in the future.
No matter what, at least she is the cutest sister.
When Chen Rui carried the sleeping Alice back to the palace, Shia walked out in three steps and two steps at a time. Seeing that the little Lolita was safe and sound, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, took Alice from his hand, and handed her over.
He gave it to the maid and sent him to the inner courtyard to rest.
Although Chen Rui, the incarnation of Diudiu, has gone deep into the world, he has already appeared publicly in Dark Moon, so there is no need for him to hide it.
"Thank you for asking you to worry about Alice just after I came back." Shia said, and the two of them walked into the meeting hall together. The maid on the side had already stepped back in acknowledgment.
"fine."
"You...are you okay outside this time?"
This time, for the first time, Shia did not directly ask about the plan, but asked something like this. It was not the kind of official greeting, but stiff and difficult, mixed with a feeling that she could not explain.
It was as if I hadn't seen this man for a long time and there was something I wanted to blurt out.
This tone of voice sounded faintly warm in Chen Rui's ears, and he nodded: "I'm fine, but you seem to have lost some weight."
Since the appearance of the "treasure" of the Dark Moon, Shia has been busy and has indeed lost some energy, but her mental outlook is much better than before when she faced huge pressure, and her elegant temperament like the goddess of ice and snow appears even more moving.
For the subjects of Dark Moon, this is a kind of majesty that is repellent thousands of miles away. However, for a certain person, majesty, lords and horses are just clouds. In his eyes, he is just a beautiful boss.
.
Moreover, there is still a bit of ambiguity between her and the boss of Bingshan Royal Sister. Shia will definitely not admit it with her mouth, but she has to admit it in her heart.
"It's better to save your sweet words for Athena and Jia." Shia's eyes turned cold. This guy can lose a foot if he loosens an inch, but she seemed to have forgotten that she was the one who started the conversation.
Chen Rui still smiled and said: "Then, the original sincere words like 'But it's more beautiful' can only be forced back."
"Okay! It's time for you to talk about the plan." Shia stopped this unproductive conversation with a concluding speech. Maybe she wanted to continue, but that plan was related to the future of Dark Moon, which was obviously more important.
for important.
Chen Rui stopped teasing and explained the progress of the plan, possible situations that might arise next, and how to deal with them. Shia couldn't help but nod her head.
"The plan that was almost unimaginable at the time has now been implemented to this extent..."
"Compared with the original expectations, this plan has changed a lot, many of which are improvised. In fact, I am not sure. I can only say that mine and our luck are good."
"No matter what, you brought all of this." Shia said with deep emotion: "It only took one year. The Dark Moon back then and the Dark Moon now... trusting you in the beginning was the most correct thing in my life.
decision."
Indeed, when Chen Rui first came, Dark Moon was just a dying hope, but now it is a thriving hope. More importantly, if the plan succeeds, this hope may be closer to reality.
Shia looked at him deeply: "On behalf of the entire Dark Moon, I want to say thank you."
"Thanks now, it's too early." The "whole dark moon" made Chen Rui feel that the atmosphere seemed a bit serious, and he winked immediately, "Besides, I only accept personal thanks from the eldest princess. I think... there will be many in the future.
Opportunity to explore this issue 'in depth'."
Shia was not angry this time. She just shook her head slightly: "In a sense, I am the entire Dark Moon. You should understand."
Chen Rui saw the determination and... the gloominess in those purple eyes. For the direct lineage of Emperor Bai Ye, the lord of the entire Dark Moon and the legal heir of the empire, a single move would affect the whole body.
, many things are beyond your control.
Perhaps she has been unable to control herself since she was born. After her father passed away, this inability to control herself was infinitely magnified.
"The last time you went to the Shadow Empire, you should have met the Queen Catherine. She turned the tide back then and saved the entire Shadow Empire. She also made the Shadow Empire develop and grow step by step until it is now a powerful empire. She is the most amazing person in the entire demon world.
Women are also my goal worth imitating in my life." Shia wanted to add that Emperor Catherine is still single, but she didn't say it for some reason. This was the first time she said this to others, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
The feeling is completely different from looking at the mirror or wind chime in the secret room under the palace...
In fact, even Siaga's words were useless, because she didn't know that the first and only man whom she wanted to imitate or could be called her idol, Catherine the Great, was the human being in front of her.
Chen Rui put away his playful attitude and said seriously: "Perhaps an outstanding leader can really change a territory or even an empire. In fact, I don't know much about this... I only know that even an ordinary person can
There are moments of relaxation to relieve stress, but if you suppress everything in your heart, sooner or later you will collapse. How can a person who is knocked down by his own pressure become a truly great ruler?"
He almost revealed what happened in the secret room, but he was worried that Shia would fall out when the biggest secret was revealed. Now that she had a good idea of revealing her secrets, it was better to take it step by step and take her time, at least until he had carefully planned it.
We will talk about it after the most important plan is successful.
Shia nodded slightly and heard the guy say two more words: "Then..."
"So?"
"Why don't you ask me to dance to express your personal gratitude?"
Let the lady take the initiative to invite you to dance? Shia almost couldn't hold back her emotions. It took a long time to calm down and said coldly: "If you want to dance, there are two women at home waiting for you."
Why does such a sentence sound a bit sour? Chen Rui showed a look of recollection: "I suddenly don't want to dance now, but I think of another thing. I remember that the eldest princess promised last time...I said certain three words
When…you can’t kill me.”
A rare blush flashed across Shia's face inexplicably. Chen Rui saw it and added with interest: "The eldest princess seems to have sworn in the name of the royal family."
Shia felt her heart beating very fast and gritted her teeth: "You...don't go too far!"
Chen Rui asked blankly: "Is it too much?"
He was willing to bet that he looked like a fake natural in a certain valley.
"..."
"Next time, I may have to come back after the plan is almost completed, so I'll leave these three words until then..."
"..."
"What three words do the eldest princess think I should say?"
"..."
Shia suddenly took a deep breath, her expression became cold, and her heartbeat gradually returned to calm. She turned her back and ignored him. Her tone was decisive: "No matter what it is, it is your business and has nothing to do with me! I
I want to remind you, don’t have any unrealistic illusions! Don’t forget your identity!”
"I just..."
"I no longer want to hear these unnecessary things. Now, you can leave!"
The human's tone seemed a little decadent: "Then...I take my leave."
Hearing the footsteps walking away from behind, Shia's head dropped slightly, with a hint of disappointment in her tone: "Stupid woman, he should have said these three words to you."
Do you really don’t want to hear it?
Do you really want him to go?
Or are you afraid that if you continue step by step, it will be difficult to control? Or that it will be difficult to refuse?
You are really a stupid woman...
Just at this time.
"By the way...well, the eldest princess..."
The voice suddenly came from the door of the hall. Shia was shocked like an electric shock. She turned around and saw that the guy hadn't gone far! So what I just said...
There was a hateful smile on the hateful face: "Actually, I want to add that there are some important things that I want to express to the eldest princess together. Uh... um, confess..."
"Have you finished replenishing it?"
"It seems so..."
"roll!"
In the overwhelming murderous aura, someone fled.
The palace guards, even those who were on temporary duty and did not see Chen Rui carrying Alice into the palace, knew that it must be the human peace officer who made the eldest princess angry.
Every once in a while, there would always be one or two times, and I don’t know what this guy reported, which made His Highness so angry. Anyway, this cowardly guy would lose his head sooner or later.
But having said that, being able to make the eldest princess, who has always been cold and cold, lose her composure is also a kind of... skill.
Sure enough, it was the human peace officer who had just woken up a little while ago who jumped out. Seeing the strange looks in the eyes of several familiar guards, the human smiled awkwardly, but felt a touch of warmth in his heart: Stupid woman? Or is she called stupid?
Women should be cuter...
In the meeting hall, Shia gently covered her face, feeling the heat from the inside out that she couldn't get rid of. She didn't know whether it was shame, anger, or both.
It finally came together in one sentence: Damn man!
The eldest princess didn't know that this title was also spoken by her idol, Queen Catherine of the Shadow Empire, in the Crystal Valley a few months ago.
