Chapter 513 Drama

   "Yes... It's been a long time."

  Meng Na took a deep breath, suppressed the uncontrollable desires and fluctuations in her heart, avoided her eyes, and deliberately did not look at the other party's face.

   "It's rare to see each other again. Your Majesty and I can be regarded as old friends... Why don't you find a place next to you and have a drink?"

   She asked half anxiously.

  As a senior executive of the shelter and one of the five adjudicators under the chief adjudicator of Wangcheng Headquarters, Meng Na, of course, knew from the intelligence that the man in front of her had left the ordinary world, ascended to the holy throne, and became a respected majesty.

  She was happy for the other party, but when they met at this moment, she couldn't help feeling nervous and in awe.

   "Of course, that's exactly what I mean."

   Chen Lun laughed.

  Meng Na was startled, she didn't expect the other party to be so gentle and refined, she relaxed a little, restored her previous ability and generosity, and walked to the sofa seat in the corner together.

  Called the waiter and ordered a bottle of red wine, Meng Na said:

   "Actually, I have been in Wangcheng for a while... When His Majesty came here as the head of the Generous Council, I had the idea of ​​visiting. Unfortunately, I was so busy with work that I didn't have time at all."

  "All encounters are guided by fate, and this is also the case at this moment."

  Chen Lun took off his hat, put it on the table, and said with a chuckle.

  But for some reason, Mengna's face froze when she heard the word "fate", her smile gradually faded, and her eyes dimmed.

   "Miss Mona strongly recommended me to join the Imperial Tribunal before, and I would like to express my gratitude to you personally..."

   Chen Lun said.

   After hearing this, Mona squeezed out a smile.

   "You're welcome, Your Majesty Jack, I have always believed that the Imperial Jury lacks people like you."

  Chen Lun poured two glasses of wine, gently pushed one to Meng Na's face, and raised the other as a signal.

"So as a reward, or as an admonition before farewell, what I want to tell Miss Mengna is... You have a color of justice that many people don't have. This kind of justice is not extreme or false, but the persistence of the lowest level of human nature. I don’t think the empire lacks people like me, but law enforcers like Miss Mona.”

  After hearing this, Meng Na couldn't help being dazed.

  The perfect man reflected in her eyes was smiling lightly and taking a sip of red wine, and then he heard him continue:

   "So Miss Mona should stick to her dreams and beliefs. As for revenge... I think you can let it go completely, because Howard is dead."

  Mengna was stunned as if struck by lightning, and she couldn't turn her head around.

   "You... what did you say?!"

   "Your enemy no longer exists, Miss Mona, continue to pursue your beliefs. I hope that one day in the future, I can see that the empire will become even better with your help."

   After Chen Lun finished speaking, he put down his wine glass, put on his hat again, got up and left.

   It took quite a while before Mengna came back to her senses.

   She seemed to understand something, and hurriedly called Jack, but when she looked up, there was no sign of him in the lively reception hall.

  Mona shed tears of joy, and immediately took up the wine glass and drank it. After exhaling a hearty breath, she held up the empty wine glass as if no one was there, and saluted in the direction Jack left.

  She murmured in a low voice:

   "Thank you... Thank you! Mona will not forget your words!"

  Donnie was hiding at the bar not far away, staring at his boss, Mona, without moving. He saw his goddess was crying "in grief", and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

   "It turns out...she already has someone she likes, no wonder she doesn't accept me."

   Taking a deep breath, Downey secretly told himself that he should do something. He raised his eyes and saw that the man in the black hat had already walked away, gritted his teeth, and hurriedly followed.

  Donnie wants to find the other party, and ask for an explanation for Miss Mona, and it is best to get the other party to come back and apologize... As a gentleman, he should not leave ruthlessly after hurting a beautiful lady.

   Soon, he found the other party.

  But the gentleman in the black hat went straight upstairs and walked to a luxurious room. Two imperial guards standing at the door hurriedly saluted him.

  Donnie looked surprised. He recognized the room, which was the host of the reception, the lounge of Duchess Emmaline!

  Who is that man?

   creak.

  As the door was opened, Downey suddenly heard a woman's voice:

   "Oh sorry! I almost didn't recognize you, Your Majesty! Her Royal Highness is waiting for you inside, come in quickly!"

  Through the corner of the stairs, he unexpectedly saw Duchess Emmaline, as humble and shy as a little maid meeting a nobleman, greeting with a blushing face, even not forgetting to raise her skirt to salute.

  Your Majesty!

  The person Miss Mona likes is a high-ranking person!

  Donnie was startled at first, and then felt hopeless. His thighs suddenly lost strength, and he rolled down the stairs with a plop. After getting up enduring the severe pain, he declined the help of several waiters, limped back to the bar, and had a drink.

  However, he didn't notice from the beginning to the end that there was a meaningful smile on the corner of the black hat gentleman's mouth all the time.

   "Princess Emmaline, you are welcome."

  He smiled politely at the lady in front of him.

   Immediately, he walked into the room slowly with a straight figure. In the process, he slipped a note into his trouser pocket without any trace.

   There are some dark writings written on it:

   "...After realizing the power of the 'rival in love', Downey felt powerless, so he gave up the idea of ​​asking for an explanation, and went back to drink to relieve his worries."

  This is the first time Chen Lun has used the ability of [Desperate Joke]. He discovered Downey's stalking early in the morning, but he was too lazy to explain or give a so-called lesson, so he just did it casually and solved this little trouble.

   "I wish you a pleasant chat with Her Royal Highness, I will take my leave first."

  The Duchess Emmaline spoke respectfully, and called away the other people who were in the room, leaving Princess Anna and Jack alone.

   Click.

  The door is closed.

  Chen Lun put Downey's little episode behind him, and went straight to the sofa, where a blond woman was sitting on it, with an exquisite crown studded with diamonds on her head.

   "Jack, please sit down."

  Princess Anna raised her hand to signal.

   "I invite you to the reception this time. One is to celebrate my father allowing me to be in power. After all, it has been two years since the coming-of-age ceremony. It is not easy for me to finally be able to grasp this power."

   "Congratulations, Your Highness."

   After Chen Lun sat down, he congratulated softly.

  He glanced at Anna indiscriminately, thinking inwardly that it was true.

The other party obviously didn't remember planning to assassinate Prince Dazlet, as if this incident had never happened. As for the missing logic gap, they spontaneously filled in their brains. In short, no one remembered what happened at the royal dinner. .

  He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice:

   "What about the second thing?"

   "Secondly, I want to chat with you casually... I don't have many friends. After taking power, this situation becomes more obvious. It is a luxury to chat with someone."

  Princess Anna sighed, then raised her beautiful eyes and asked:

   "What? You don't want to?"

   "Of course not...I mean I'd love to have a chat with Miss Anna."

   Chen Lun laughed.

  There was a clear understanding in his eyes, and he thought to himself, it seems that even if he forgot about the assassination, his favorability would not decrease... Perhaps in the heart of the other party, he is still a trustworthy friend.

   "That's good, you're smart."

  Anna gave him a blank look.

   Immediately afterwards, her complexion changed, and she said seriously:

"The Cross of the Scorching Sun has had a big problem recently... For some time ago, the Church of the Seven Gods went crazy and arrested its members everywhere, causing us to suffer heavy losses. In addition, my brother has stopped responding to the prayers of believers for a long time, members We feel hopeless, the organization is on the verge of collapse."

   She took a sip from her wine glass, her tone lonely.

   "They're losing their faith."

  Chen Lun listened silently.

  He thought in his heart that when Anna asked him to join forces to assassinate the prince, the fundamental motivation was the oracle from the "scorching sun"... as long as he killed Dazlet, Arnold would be able to get out of trouble?

   At that time, Chen Lun had already noticed the abnormality.

Because according to Arnold's temperament and his belief in the end of darkness, he probably would not issue such an oracle... Now it seems that this is obviously an illusion created by Howard, but it is just to guide Anna and the Sun Cross to carry out the assassination and act as a fuse Just ask.

   But it is meaningless to delve into all this right now.

  Prince Dazlet is dead, and Howard, the man behind the scenes, is also dead. Even the relevant personnel involved in this matter are hardly remembered...

  Chen Lun was deeply aware of the danger of high-ranking games, and he was even more determined to leave the royal city and temporarily avoid the whirlpool.

  ‘Scorching Sun Cross will be disbanded...’

  After listening to Anna's complaints, he suddenly thought of the land of Matthew.

  This group of hidden forces from the underground world, composed of light descendants, their ultimate goal is not to help the "new sun" they believe in get out of trouble, but to use its power to save their hometown and the land that has never seen the sun.

  Chen Lun felt something in his heart, and suddenly came up with an idea:

  'It's a pity to give up such a powerful force, maybe it can be used again. '

  He immediately raised his head and said to Princess Anna:

   "Sorry Your Highness, I just met an old friend downstairs and drank two more glasses. I'll go to the bathroom."

   "Please go ahead."

  Anna seemed to be troubled and seemed a little absent-minded.

  Chen Lun got up and went into the bathroom, locked the door, and immediately took out an ordinary notebook, which looked like it was bought at a roadside grocery store, nothing special.

   Turning to a new page, Chen Lun's eyes were deep.

   "Hide and seek."

  He called silently.

  In the raised right hand, an ivory-white fountain pen quietly emerged, and the tip of the pen inlaid with gold and tempered silver fell down, and immediately wrote a paragraph of black cursive characters:

"...The Crusaders of the Scorching Sun are about to lose their faith and disband, but the leader, Anna, suddenly realizes that the scorching sun is trapped at the end of the darkness, and the hateful swarm of polluting insects is the enemy of God, and the members of the Crusaders should devote themselves to it , hunting the bug swarm, and relieving the gods of their worries... In a sense, this is a means of regaining faith and restoring cohesion... Maybe in the near future, the swarm of bugs will die out, and the scorching sun will rise again."
