After turning off the communication, under the bedroom lights, the smile on Capullo's face slowly disappeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"Your injury has long since been healed. Why did you hide it from General Russen?"
In the corner of the room stood a figure. From the shadows, a faint outline could be seen. The imaginative curves and the slightly hoarse voice were enough to make a man's heart beat faster. Capullo's heartbeat was normal. He chuckled, "As my personal nurse, you're probably the only one who knows about this, Pepe."
"This subordinate is terrified."
"You don't have to be afraid. I'm sure you won't leak it out. As for Russen, we're good friends, yes. But time has changed us. I'm no longer the Capullo of twenty years ago, and Russen is no longer the hot-blooded young man he was back then. " Capullo closed his eyes and said, "The current Russen is regarded as the leader of the four generals of the Federation. Personally, I think his strength may have long been on par with Windsor Bellow. I know his potential very well. It's impossible to say that he hasn't made any progress in the past ten years. "
"Then why did the general conceal his strength? You know, if the Federation system evaluates him, he is the third marshal." The figure in the shadows took a step forward. It was a woman in military uniform. She coiled up her dark green hair and wore a pair of plain glasses, and her face was dignified. Under that slender neck, the plump peaks that were about to come out were almost about to break free from the restraints of the military uniform. The buttons on his chest were only barely tightened, and they could collapse at any time.
"He has always been a low-end, efficient, pragmatic person. Status and power are not the most important to him, but even so, he is still a general. It is no longer something that can be explained by keeping a low profile. " Capullo said softly, "There are many sharp-eyed fellows in the Federation, but no one knows Russen's true level. That's not keeping a low profile, but deliberately concealing it. As for why he hid it, even I don't know. "
"I only know that there are many pairs of eyes staring at me right now. They are all watching to see if my lion is as strong as it was back then. The situation today is no longer the same as it was twenty years ago. I don't want to attract too much attention, so I might as well borrow Russen's mouth to let the outside world guess. "
"Do you think General Russen will leak it out?"
"I don't know, but I have to be on guard. Do you know why I was never defeated before I met that Supreme Being? " Capullo smiled and said, "That's because I only believe in myself, so my enemies will never get the right information." In the end, I lost to that Supreme Martial Artist, but it was not because of a strategic failure, but because the difference in strength between us was too great. It was not the fault of the battle. "
"You are the most charming man I have ever seen." Pep's eyes were spitting fire, but her face was still dignified. Such a huge contrast made men want to possess her.
"Pepe, you're getting better and better at talking." Capulo smiled and stood up. He didn't seem to make any movements, but the robe on his body slid down, revealing his loose body. But when he slowly inhaled, the muscles on his body began to wriggle. They shrank and gathered. A moment later, Capulo was no longer the old man who was on the verge of death.
Every muscle on his body was filled with explosive power, outlining lines that were far more beautiful than those of a young man. That was the ultimate manifestation of a man's masculinity. Pep's chest rose and fell, and even her breathing became three points heavier. Capullo waved to her, "Come here."
Pep walked over and stood in front of Capullo. She was considered tall among women, but she only reached Capullo's chest. Capullo untied her hair and let it hang down. Suddenly, he grabbed Pep's chest with both hands and rubbed it. Strands of hot smoke sprayed out of Pep's nostrils under the rubbing. Capullo tore his jacket apart with all his might. The two peaks that had lost their restraints immediately jumped into the air, and there was actually a vacuum inside. The two plum blossoms were trembling endlessly, causing Capullo to react.
He smiled in satisfaction and pressed his hands on Pep's shoulders. The woman knelt down obediently. She raised her glasses and opened her mouth. Between the two red lips, a few sparkling threads made Capullo very excited. He pressed down on Pep's head with one hand and straightened his waist. A moment later, Pep's breathing sounded in the bedroom, as well as Capullo's faint roars.
Under the illumination of the light, the two figures on the wall were constantly changing their postures. Gradually, they merged into one.
"Your Highness."
It was early in the morning when Lucy received a communication request. Looking at the flickering platinum crown icon, the girl hesitated for a moment before she reached out and tapped it. The brain screen flashed twice, and Metallon's figure appeared on the screen. Seeing Metallon, Lucy heaved a sigh of relief. Right now, the last member of the royal family she wanted to see was her father, the supreme emperor.
Metalon wore a long black robe with golden decorations. There was a row of golden buttons on each of the two rows of the robe, tied together by a thin golden chain. Inside, there was a red velvet lining, a black belt around the waist, with a golden crown emblem on it. His lower body was a pair of grayish-white trousers, which were tied into a pair of black boots. There was a silver ring on each side of the boots, surrounded by four golden leaves.
A golden ribbon hung down from both sides of the epaulettes, setting off magnificence and solemnity.
This was the most orthodox Marquis' attire in Adahua Planet. Changing into this attire meant that Metallon was going to appear on certain occasions as a member of the royal family.
Lucy said in surprise, "Teacher, what are you doing?"
"Your Highness, we will visit the Blood Gate Stronghold in three days. I hope you won't leave the stronghold for a while, so that everyone won't be able to catch you. "Metallon smiled. The old marquis was very concerned about Lucy, the imperial daughter. Although she was a teacher, she treated her like her own granddaughter.
Lucy frowned, "Everyone? Who else is there besides the teacher? "
"There's also Shaglin. She hasn't seen you for a long time and is very concerned about you, so she went with you this time."
"Teacher Shaglin will come too?" Lucy's face lit up. As an empress, Lucy had many teachers. Among them, Metallon instructed her in her combat techniques, while Shaglin was in charge of her knowledge in art and history. However, Lucy didn't have any talent in prophecy, so Shaglin's best prophecy wasn't taught to her.
"But can Teacher Shaglin leave?"
Metallon nodded and said, "With Shaglin's help, we've been able to defeat the enemy several times recently. There should be no war in the Silverwind Continent for the time being, and Archduke Pade wants her to take advantage of this opportunity to rest for a while. You know, using prophecy abilities for a long time is a big burden on her. "
Lucy nodded.
"Oh, there's another person." Metallon revealed a rare expression of hesitation. "Earl Link will also come."
"Link? No way! " As Metallon thought, Lucy almost jumped up and said, "Why is that poker-faced Link here? I don't want to see him! Only our emperor would like that preachy fellow. "
"Although Earl Link is young, he has never misjudged a case since he became the head of the Ministry of Military Justice. His rigor was obvious to everyone, and even His Majesty praised the balance in Link's hand. Apart from being serious, he is actually a pretty good young man. "
Lucy covered her ears with both hands. "I don't want to hear it. I don't want to see him anyway."
"That's a lot. No matter what, he's one of the candidates. Moreover, he's an old friend of yours. There's no reason for you not to see him, whether it's official or private. " Metallon paused for a moment before continuing, "His Majesty has also been under a lot of pressure in recent years, especially in the Yordon Domain. This has caused His Majesty to encounter a lot of resistance in his governance. Link's father, Archduke Reibis, has helped His Majesty a lot in this regard, so Your Highness, no matter what, please give Archduke Reibis face and meet Earl Link. "
Lucy snorted, "What does that old man have to do with me? Since my mother died, he has never cared about me. If I hadn't become an applicator of the Golden Rose, it would still be unknown whether I would still be able to maintain my identity as an empress. "
Metallon sighed, "His Majesty and I have known each other for many years. He is definitely not the kind of person who is ungrateful." The reason why he neglected you back then was because he loved your mother, Lady Elyse. It was precisely because he loved Elyse so much and you were very similar to Madam that His Majesty was afraid that he would think of Elyse when he saw you, so he avoided you. "He was also very regretful. Long before you became an applicator of the Golden Rose, he hoped that I could take care of you."
"His Majesty really wants to nurture you into an outstanding daughter. It's just that you misunderstand him too deeply. However, one day, you will understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts. "
Lucy rubbed the corner of her clothes with both hands and struggled in her heart. On one hand, she hoped that what Metallon said was true, but on the other hand, she remembered that when she was young, she had been bullied in the imperial court because of her father's estrangement. This kind of contradictory feeling was really not enough for outsiders to know. She finally said, "Forget it, I'll see Link. But you have to tell him to remember not to see me as a candidate, and not to show off. Otherwise, I don't care if he's Lei Beth's son or the head of the Military Justice Department. I won't be able to talk to him again in the future! "
Metallon smiled bitterly and said, "I see. I'll tell Link in advance. Then, see you in three days, Your Highness."
At the end of the communication, Lucy let out a long sigh. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. She turned off the screen of her brain and opened the door. Allen was standing outside. He smiled and said, "I'm back."
"Are you alright? How is it, that female giant?"
"Originally, it went well, but something unexpected happened. Mr. Fordin only heavily injured her and let her run away in the end. But she shouldn't be back for a while. " Allen paused and said awkwardly, "I heard you talking to someone just now. I didn't disturb you, did I?"
