"That woman seems to be looking at you!" Catherine frowned and whispered.
Allen smiled and said, "What are you looking at me for? You're too sensitive. I'm just looking at you casually."
"That's not right." Lucy shook her head and said, "Teacher Shaglin is indeed staring at you. What is she thinking?"
Could it be that she was also interested in Allen? But this was the first time they had met. If that was the case, then she was truly a shameless woman! Catherine looked at Allen and then at Shaglin, thinking to herself.
Lucy winked at Shaglin, thinking, What are you doing! Why are your eyes so bright? It's normal for you to lose focus like usual, Teacher Shaglin!
He always felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. Allen thought with a bitter smile. The two girls on his left and right had sharp eyes and inexplicable hostility. They were like two cats whose tails had been stepped on, ready to pounce out at any moment.
Fortunately, Shaglin's eyes were filled with mist again, as if flowing clouds had blocked the sunlight. Her sea blue pupils became hazy again.
Adahua Planet's envoys continued to pour out of the passageway. This time, the fleet visited the Blood Gate Stronghold. Apart from Metallon and the others who came to visit their empress, there were also various representatives. They hoped to discuss military and even commercial cooperation with the Federation in this war. Therefore, there were quite a few envoys who came together this time. There were dozens of men and women, causing Allen's eyes to blur.
Adahua Planet was indeed a planet rich in handsome men and beautiful women. The envoys were elegant, and the women were beautiful. However, in terms of beauty, they naturally couldn't compare to Shaglin. She stood in the midst of the fragrance, and her strong figure was like a red rose inserted in a patch of lilacs, allowing people to see her at a glance.
At this moment, Lucy, who was standing beside him, suddenly clenched her fists. Allen noticed that she was a little nervous and couldn't help but look at her. Lucy returned a smile, but it was a little forced. At this moment, another Adahua Planet walked out of the starship passageway. It was a tall man. Under the brilliant golden short hair was a serious face, with a pair of rimless glasses perched on his high nose. Under his tightly pursed lips was a meticulously groomed beard. The beard was trimmed into a "w" shape, extending from his chin to his ears. Although he was young, he looked strangely mature.
He was clad in a long white robe, which had the distinct style of a military uniform. A golden ribbon hung down from the epaulets on both sides, and there was a row of golden buttons on both sides of the lapels, connected by tiny golden chains. Inside was a black lining with a white scarf spitting out from the collar. Black, white, and gold, these three pure colors matched his body with a noble and dignified feeling. He was holding a thick book in his hand, and a bookmark's tail could be seen sticking out from between the pages. As he walked out of the passageway, his gaze swept. After a while, he found Lucy and stopped.
From afar, he nodded slightly at Lucy. There was a hint of a smile on his serious face.
A few more people came out of the passageway, and all the envoys from Adahua Planet had arrived. Russen brought a group of officials from the stronghold to formally welcome them. The people from both sides gathered together, and what they said was nothing more than official words. Most of them were polite words, but as long as they talked about cooperation and arrived at the negotiating table, it would be a different scene. However, Allen had no chance to see the negotiations that were comparable to the battlefield. He was also glad that this was the case. After all, that type of war was not his forte.
Metallon led a few people and politely exchanged a few words with Russen before walking straight towards Allen. Katherine reached out and pinched Allen secretly. She didn't know what she meant, so she turned around and left. As a major general of the Federation, she also had the obligation to accompany those distinguished guests, even if she didn't want to. So only Allen and Lucy were left. Allen saw that there was also a tall and serious man among the people who came with Metallon.
"I'm very happy to see you still alive and kicking, Your Highness." Metallon opened his hands and greeted Lucy.
Lucy left Allen and ran over, hugging the marquis who had almost watched her grow up. "Me too, teacher. How are you feeling? "
"Marquis Metallon just killed two Dark Titans before he came. Do you think his health will be bad?" Her voice was very magnetic, and it was full of rhythm. It was very pleasing to the ears.
Lucy let go of Metallon and bowed to Shaglin. Shaglin gently pulled up her skirt and bowed to the empress. Then Lucy hugged Shaglin and said, "Teacher, you're here too. How delightful."
"Really? But I saw that you didn't seem very happy just now. "Shaglin smiled.
"No, Teacher, you must have seen wrongly."
Shaglin smiled so hard that her eyebrows curved, "My eyes have never been wrong about anything."
"I know, I know. You're Shaglin at dusk." Lucy said with a kiss on her face.
Shaglin patted her head with a loving expression on her face. Although she was only a few years older than Lucy, to Lucy, whose mother had died early, Shaglin was someone who played the roles of sister and mother. In Shaglin, she found dependence and love, and after those two identities, she was an artistic mentor.
The next few people were members of the royal family, and Lucy's attitude towards them was much colder. Allen, who was beside him, could feel Lucy's coldness and even disgust towards the royal family. In the end, the tall man walked forward and held up Lucy's hand to kiss it. Lucy hurriedly pulled her hand back like a frightened bird. She took two steps back and said, "Link, this is not the Imperial Court. There is no need for these formalities."
The man she called Link was stunned for a moment before nodding, "As you command, Your Highness."
He stood up straight. He was 1.9 meters tall, and among the slender people of Adahua Planet, he had a rare burly body. When he was close, he naturally gave off an invisible sense of oppression. When he looked at Allen, the pressure became even more obvious. Link looked at Allen and said, "Your Highness, it's too dangerous for you to stay alone in the Federation's stronghold. I also heard that the outsider alliance army attacked this place not long ago. Your Highness, as the Empress of the Great Emperor, you really shouldn't stay here any longer. This time, I want to invite you back with me. "
Lucy tightened her face and said, "I'm not going back. I like it here. There are my friends here, and I'm happy fighting with them. Besides, they will protect me! "
"Battle?" Link frowned, "Your Highness, I can't let you stay. Please come back with me."
"Impudent! Do you still need to interfere in my life? "
Link did not give in at all, "Why not? Your Highness, I am … "
"Link!" Metallon suddenly shouted, "Remember what you promised me!"
Link's eyes flickered and he took two steps back. "Of course, I promised that I wouldn't go against it."
Allen looked at them strangely and walked forward to stand beside Lucy. "Mr. Link, please rest assured that I will be responsible for Lucy's safety."
Link raised his eyebrows. "You're in charge? May I ask who you are? "
"My name is Allen. I'm Lucy's friend."
"Allen." Link nodded. "I've heard of you. His Highness stayed because of you. But why do you make such a promise? Do you know? If the Catus knew that His Highness was in this stronghold, they wouldn't have only sent out tens of thousands of troops. At that time, hundreds of thousands of troops might have swarmed in. May I ask what ability you have to protect His Highness under such circumstances? "
"With your strength at Level 19? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to underestimate you, but that's the truth. "
Allen frowned. Although this man's words were reasonable, he gave off an aggressive feeling, and his words carried a hint of hostility. It was obvious that this hostility was directed at him.
'"I am also a friend of His Highness, a friend who grew up together. Although I don't have Marquis Metallon's superb combat strength, I am still at Level 24. Apart from that, I am also a count. Under me, there is an army under me. So when it comes to protection, whether it's status or strength, I am more qualified than you. Mr. Allen, if you really think for His Highness, you should persuade her to go back with me. "
'"Enough, Link," Lucy raised her eyebrows. "Please watch your words. Even my father has never interfered with my life. You have no right to decide whether I stay or go! If you still think of me as a friend, don't say anymore. "
Link looked at her seriously and nodded after a long while. "We will stay here for a while. Your Highness, please think about it. Also, the Great Emperor doesn't interfere. He just wants to give you more time. I know that very well. "
Lucy clenched her fists and trembled slightly. Suddenly, a warm palm wrapped around it and melted the uneasiness in her heart. Allen smiled gently at her and looked at Link. "Mr. Link is right. I do have many shortcomings now. But I believe it won't be long before I surpass your accomplishments, and most men as well. It's not that I'm arrogant, but I have to do it. "
"Oh?" Link's eyes clearly didn't believe what Allen said.
'"Because if I don't, I don't have the right to ask Emperor Orfasis. Ask him to marry his beloved daughter, Lucy … to me! "
Everyone was stunned, especially Lucy. She was surprised at first, then her eyes filled with joy. Link was shocked, followed by anger, but he restrained himself and didn't roar. He just shook his head and said, "I admire your confidence, but I'm sure you'll never be able to do it. You can't believe it, you can try. But in the end, you'll find that everything is in vain. "
"That's not right, Link." Shaglin unexpectedly stood on Ellen's side. She smiled indifferently and said, "Even though I claim to have never been mistaken, in fact, there are many fragments of the future that I have seen. When time comes, they have all undergone subtle changes. The universe is full of change, and there is never anything absolute. Many times, will is enough to determine the future. It only depends on how you choose. "
