"I need another chair!" A ten-year-old girl wearing an apron and holding a rag in her hand was cleaning the windows outside the house. Unfortunately, she wasn't tall enough. Even with a chair, she couldn't touch the windowsill above.
Two of the younger boys giggled as they brought over another chair for her, and the girl climbed onto it. Unexpectedly, the chair shook and she fell down. The girl couldn't help but cry out in alarm, and the two boys covered their eyes. However, the girl did not fall to the ground, but was hugged from behind. The girl raised her head and saw a silver flame. A moment later, she saw that it was a pale silver that was reflecting the afternoon sun. Then, she saw a pair of fiery red pupils and a smiling face.
"Young Master Allen!" The girl shouted.
Allen put her on the ground and said, "Mei Li, it's dangerous to climb so high."
He took the rag from the girl and began to wipe the window for her. After a moment of surprise, the girl hurriedly grabbed the rag and said, "No, no, no, how can I let Young Master Allen do this kind of work? Let me do it."
"It doesn't matter. You're William's family, and William is my brother. So you're also my family. Isn't it normal to do some work for your family? " Allen turned around, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. His smile was brilliant and warm under the sun, pointing straight to the heart.
Mei Li was stunned for a moment before she smiled back, "Then I'll go make a cup of tea for Young Master Allen."
Then he pulled the two lively boys into the house. A moment later, Allen finished cleaning the windows. Sitting in the corridor of the house, Mei Li brought a cup of hot tea and placed it beside Allen. Then she sat beside Allen and raised her head, "When did you come back? Brother William, he … "
"William has a mission, so he can't come back. But he will be very happy to see you live happily. " Allen took out a card from his pocket and placed it in Mei Li's hand. "This is part of William's reward for the expedition. I'll give it to you on his behalf."
Mei Li accepted it and said with a smile, "I will save it for my brother. Now that Mei Li is working in the castle, she basically doesn't need big brother's money. "
"Mei Li is such a good girl." Allen patted the girl's head and said, "If there's any difficulty, go find Steward Helsing. I'll ask him to take care of you."
"Yes, thank you, Young Master."
At this time, there was a child's cry in the house. A few little ghosts ran out and surrounded Allen, shouting, "Young Master Allen, tell us what's in the Outer Realm?"
A boy stretched out his arms and described, "Is there such a big monster?"
Mei Li said angrily, "Young Master has just returned, don't pester him!"
"It's okay." Allen clapped his hands to the side and had the children sit beside him. Allen said, "There really is such a big monster, and it's also very fierce. But your brother Wilick is very brave. He alone defeated such a monster. "
"Wow, really?"
"I knew Big Brother Wilick was the best!"
"No, Young Master Allen is also very powerful. I heard Big Brother Wilick say that!"
This afternoon, Allen enjoyed a rare leisure time. Staying with these children, even the sunlight seemed to be the color of candy. In their world, there were no conspiracies or framings, let alone killing or harm. They were the world's most precious treasures, just like Allen's lost childhood.
On the other side of Babylon, in a suite used to entertain important guests, Metallon looked helplessly at Lucy. "Your Highness, are you going to talk to His Majesty like this?"
Lucy looked at her casual clothes and said, "Is there anything wrong with that?"
"There's something wrong with etiquette."
"Really? I don't think it's anything. If you want to be angry, let the old man be angry enough. "Lucy said heartlessly.
Metallon said with a headache, "His Majesty was very angry and worried when he learned that Your Highness had been lost in the Starfield. He still loves you."
"He's worried that the Golden Rose will disappear with me, right?"
"Your Highness, your misunderstanding of His Majesty is too deep."
Lucy suddenly stood up and said, "Misunderstanding? Teacher, you must be mistaken. If I hadn't resonated with the Golden Rose, do you think the great Emperor Orfasis would have looked at his own daughter? Of course, the Great Emperor has so many wives and children, so how could he pay attention to a mere concubine's daughter? "
"How could that be? The Great Emperor and your mother truly love each other. Otherwise, how could he ignore the royal family's objections and insist on marrying your mother? "
"The Great Emperor is probably greedy for novelty. No, isn't one of his wives from the folk? Oh, I heard she's a bit similar to my mother. " Lucy lowered her head and said hatefully, "Besides, if he really cares about his mother, why didn't he even come to see her for the last time? I definitely … definitely won't forgive him! "
Metallon could only sigh softly. At this moment, the projection curtain wall on the wall popped up the progress bar of the image connection. The Marquis stood up and said, "Your Highness, prepare yourself. His Majesty wants to speak to you."
A moment later, there was an image in the curtain wall. The first thing that entered the picture was a gorgeous white-gold throne inlaid with gems. Then, a figure flashed past and sat on the throne. It was a burly man who was over fifty years old. His silver-gray head was tied in a crown decorated with crystal pearls and jade. On his dignified face, his eyebrows slanted, and his eyes were extremely sharp. He wore a gorgeous platinum armor, and every graceful curve on the armor had been meticulously designed.
It was just a simple sitting posture, but it sat out of the abyss? The smell of S Yue Zhi. Even though it was only an image, that brilliant domineering aura pounced on his face.
Facing the supreme king of Adahua Planet, Metallon placed his hand on his chest and bowed.
This person was, of course, Lucy's father, Emperor Orfasis.
"Lucy."
"Greetings, Great, Respected, Benevolent, Valiant, Glorious Emperor Orfasis." Lucy spoke respectfully, but there was no sincerity on her face. There was even a hint of ridicule in her words. As long as she wasn't deaf, she could tell.
Orfasis frowned and said, "Lucy, is this the tone you should use to your father?"
Lucy pretended to be surprised, "So the Great Emperor still remembers me as a daughter. It's a great honor."
"You child." Orfasis shook his head helplessly and said, "Lucy, can't you forgive me after all these years? Child, my love for you is no less than that of your other brothers and sisters. "
"However, I have too many brothers and sisters." Lucy was like a rebellious girl, opposing her father with every word.
Orfasis revealed a headache and glanced at Metallon. The latter remained silent, obviously not wanting to interfere in the affairs of the father and daughter. Orfasis only sighed softly and said, "No matter what you think, I will protect you. Lucy, it's time for you to go home. Don't continue to wander around outside. "
"No, I'm going to stay here."
"Why? Because of that kid named Allen? " Orfasis snorted, "A mere member of the Earth nobility is not worthy of you, Lucy."
Lucy sneered, "Oh, of course. In your mind, only the son of Duke Ozma, or the son of Uncle Grieve, would be an ideal match for a marriage alliance. Isn't that so? "
"I have never thought of using you as a political bargaining chip, but Lucy, you have to admit it. Isn't what you said the truth? " Orfasis said seriously, "You are a noble empress, the wielder of the Golden Rose. No matter which identity it is, it is not something that that brat can afford. "
"However, I love him, not his identity, Your Majesty!" Lucy said forcefully, "From the moment he didn't know my identity, I knew he was someone I couldn't miss in my life!"
"But he's just a commoner!" Orfasis finally couldn't help but roar. He had always been a man of his word, and no one had ever dared to disobey him. He had never been like this daughter of his, repeatedly colliding with him.
"Yes, he's just a commoner. Then, I exercise my rights as the holder of a sacred artifact. I request to withdraw from the royal family. This way, I won't lose face for you, right? "
Metallon shook his head and sighed. Things had finally developed to the point where he didn't want to see them.
In the picture, Orfasis' eyes lit up, as if there was a sun hidden in them. He said angrily, "You actually want to abandon your royal identity for a wild kid from nowhere. Lucy, you are too willful! Too willful! "
"I don't think so. I just know that there are some things that must be persevered." Lucy looked straight at Orfasis, who was like a lion, and said, "Isn't this just like what you did back then? Since you can insist on marrying my mother, why can't I insist on staying by his side? "
These words seemed to have hit Orfasis' weakness. The emperor's gaze was mixed with something else, and he was even absent-minded for a few seconds. Then the light in his eyes gradually faded, and he shook his head and said, "Forget it, Lucy. I don't want to force you. You can stay, but you can't leave the royal family. Child, one day, you will know that I will always be your father, not an emperor. "
Lucy's eyes were a little complicated. Finally, she bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity … Your Majesty."
Then he said goodbye and left.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward. A moment later, Orfasis said, "I've made you laugh, old friend."
Metallon shook his head and said, "I'm also a father, so I feel the same way. Your Majesty, we all want the best for our children, so let them follow the path we paved. However, we don't know if our children like to walk this path. Perhaps, their lives should be decided by themselves. "
"I know, but I owe that child too much. I can't help but interfere." Orfasis smiled bitterly. At this moment, he was no longer the high and mighty King of Justice, but just an ordinary father.
