Lucy stood at the entrance of the white arch bridge connected to the Royal Library. From here, the library's steeple-shaped main building was hidden in the clouds. The library was built on the western edge of Golden City. The entire library had no foundation. Below it was the endless void. The main spire was a hundred meters tall and divided into thirteen floors. It contained most of Adahua Planet's books of knowledge, theories, historical documents, art, technology, and so on. It could be said that this was the source of Adahua Planet's knowledge. The academicians of the Academy of Truth would always visit the library every now and then and bury themselves in the sea of books.
Apart from the main building of the steeple, there were six other wing towers in the library. They were centered on the main building, lined up on the left and right, and formed a crescent shape with the main building. In front of the building was a plaza. The fountain in the plaza sprayed out endlessly all year round. They pushed a huge stone ball in the center of the fountain, causing it to roll continuously. The stone ball had mottled lines on it, and it looked like it had been there for a long time.
This stone ball symbolized the entire universe. It was designed by the first curator of the Royal Library, named "Gosna". The first curator believed that the universe was constantly changing, and that there was a certain law in the seemingly irregular mouth of change. By comparing a large number of historical events, Gosna proposed the "Universe Reincarnation Theory" and concretely designed this theory into this stone ball.
Therefore, this stone ball was also known as the Sphere of Reincarnation.
Lucy walked across the white arch bridge. The howling wind on the bridge messed up her hair, and a few strands of her hair fluttered mischievously in the wind. She pulled up her hair and looked from the guardrail of the bridge. There were many black dots shuttling back and forth in the bright sunny sky. Below Golden City, there were thin clouds in the low sky. Through the cracks in the clouds, one could see the green fertile fields below. In a trance, she seemed to see a flamboyant figure running across the land in a tense manner.
Are you all right?
Now, are you free?
Lucy's heart suddenly ached. She pursed her lips and tried to breathe. After a while, she regained her calm. Then, without looking at the thin clouds and green fields, she picked up her pace. After passing the white arch bridge and bypassing the fountain, she walked up the gray stone steps leading to the library door. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a few figures came out of the library. Lucy thought that it was an academician from the Truth Academy. Unexpectedly, she saw a group of people in colorful dresses. Among them, someone exclaimed in surprise. It was the voice of a young girl.
"Isn't this Sister Lucy?"
Lucy raised her head. The one who spoke was a young girl who was two or three years younger than her. She had a few cute freckles on her face, and her light blonde hair was coiled up with a jeweled hairnet. The young girl looked somewhat similar to Lucy, but her expression was malicious. She said, "I heard that Sister Lucy locked herself in the palace after she came back. She didn't even see her father. How arrogant."
Another girl at the side chimed in, "There's nothing we can do. It's our Lucy's fault for pretending to be pitiful. Oh, I forgot how pitiful she is. She lost her mother at a young age, and she just broke up with her boyfriend not long ago. If it were me, I would also cry my heart out, right? "
Then the girls all laughed.
Lucy looked at them coldly and said, "Have you said enough? If you have, then get out of my way. Don't block my way!"
"Oh my, so impressive, so scary." The freckled girl exaggeratedly put her hand on her chest and pretended to be pitiful. She shook the obviously oldest girl in the crowd and said, "Sister Lucy scared me. Sister Alisa is still the best and the most gentle."
Lucy's gaze fell on that girl.
Alisa, who was a year older than her, had inherited her mother's peach-colored hair. Even her eyes were pink. She had a steadiness that the other girls didn't have, which made her look dignified and beautiful. She nodded at Lucy and said, "Don't blame these children. They're used to blabbering. I'll teach them a lesson when we get back."
The four or five girls around them, including Alisa, were all noble ladies of the royal court. Alisa and the other two were Lucy's sisters, while the rest were the daughters of dukes and marquises. Any one of them was a person of noble status. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to enter the royal library at will.
Lucy looked at the girls and said, "They really have to watch their mouths. It's fine in the City of Gold, but if they still don't know how to control their words outside, they'll regret it sooner or later."
When the girls heard this, their chests heaved up and down in anger, but Alisa stopped them with a look. When Lucy walked past them, she whispered to one of them, "The next time I hear you talk about my mother, I'll stuff a golden rose into your mouth!"
The girl's expression immediately changed. She was angry and afraid, and her body couldn't stop trembling. After Lucy disappeared behind the door, she said to Alisa, "Look at her. She doesn't care about us at all. Alisa, why didn't you say anything? You're not afraid of her, are you? "
Alisa smiled gently. "Lucy is a wild cat. You casually step on her tail like this. Be careful that she catches your faces. I won't spend any effort to deal with a wild cat. Can't you just throw a wild dog at her to deal with a wild cat? "
The girls were confused, completely unable to guess what she was thinking.
By the time Lucy came out of the library, it was already sunset. After soaking in the library all day, even she was a little dizzy. After reading the literature for a day and looking through the information about the Son of Dusk, she wanted to find a way to resolve the conflict between Allen and her father. However, it was easy to say, but how could it be so easy to do? Even with Adahua Planet's rich collection, the records about the Son of Dusk were still limited, let alone finding clues to trigger inspiration.
Lucy didn't give up and planned to come back tomorrow. She walked onto the white arch bridge and suddenly stopped. In the middle of the arch bridge, a figure stood in the middle of the road. The dusk sun fell on his young and handsome face, but his handsome face looked a little evil because of his unbridled eyes.
"I heard you came to the Royal Library, so I rushed over immediately. Lucy, I missed you so much! "He shouted, his overly loud voice so out of place in the solemn library area.
Lucy frowned. "Alisa told you, didn't she? The son of the Marquis of Mercia, Lord Franco? "
Like Lynk, Franco was also one of her pursuers. However, compared to Link, who was just a little old-fashioned, Franco was on the other end of the spectrum. He was a famous playboy in Golden City, and he didn't care about principles. As long as he had his eyes on a target, he would do anything to get it. He was an unscrupulous person who had even seduced the wife of a low-ranking official. He was notorious in Golden City.
In the light of the setting sun, Franco bowed and said, "Who can tell me what's so important? The important thing is if Your Highness Lucy can agree to have dinner with me, I will be very honored. "
"Really? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I've been reading all day today, and now I just want to take a good bath and go to bed. " Lucy walked on the arch bridge as if she didn't see Franco and walked directly past him.
Franco still maintained his bowing posture, and even the smile on his face didn't change at all. He suddenly said, "If you want to take a bath and sleep, that's what I'm good at. How about I serve Your Highness Lucy? "
Lucy suddenly stopped and said coldly, "Please watch your words, Lord Franco!"
The young man stood up straight and reached out to his long black hair. He closed his eyes and said with a smile, "Then let me remind you, Your Highness Lucy. Although you are a princess, His Majesty has countless princes and princesses. How long do you think he will look at you? Your mother died early, and your mother's family is not dignified. In this palace, if His Majesty ignores you, who else do you think can support you? "
"Oh, then what do you mean?"
"Marry me!" Franco opened his arms and smiled cheerfully, "You left Adahua Planet and wandered outside for years for a tiny human on Earth. It's no secret in Golden City that you've done that." To be honest, as a noble daughter of the royal court, what you've done is a taboo, and people even wonder if you're still as pure as ever. But I don't mind, Your Highness. Even after we get married, I don't care if you continue to find that earthling as your lover. As long as you give me a son, yes, one is enough. As long as you do this, my father and even my family will be your strongest backing! "
"So, is this the so-called political marriage?"
"You can also understand it that way." Franco smiled.
Lucy looked at him coldly and smiled, "Sir Franco, I'm not pitiful enough to beg you or your family for protection." Besides, if I wanted to, do you think I would lack suitors? Believe me, those well-dressed men don't mind my past either. And any one of them is stronger than a mere son of a Marquis like you! "
She turned around, unwilling to look at the man again, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, his eyes blurred, and Franco, who no longer had a smile on his face, flashed and blocked her path.
"Scram!" Lucy shouted in a low voice.
Franco laughed sinisterly, "When I came, I asked the family guards to make sure that no one would disturb us nearby. Your Highness Lucy, I admire your stubbornness. But don't you think it's time for something to happen between us? Even if it's not what you want, His Majesty will reluctantly marry you to me for the sake of his reputation, right? "
"You're really an extremely dirty fellow." Lucy narrowed her eyes. "But do you really think something can happen with your little ability?"
Origin Energy soared into the sky!
Lucy raised her arm. At some point, the golden rose was already in her hand. The muzzle of the gun was aimed at Franco, and the overflowing Origin Energy continuously transformed into golden roses around Lucy's body. A silver bracelet on her hand fell off and turned into a silver hound at Lucy's feet. However, this hound did not have the slightest aura of life. It was cold and inorganic, like a precise but cruel killing machine.
