The two men watched as Allen disappeared into the corner of a corridor before withdrawing their gazes.
This was a room in a tall tower. The setting sun shone brightly, covering the ground with a layer of red light. Archduke Gulliver stood in the bright red sunlight behind another man. There were five dukes in the empire. Among them, Gulliver and his brother Pard were the oldest. Link's father, Duke Rebus, was the second, and Archduchess Paphield, who was known as the most precious treasure of the empire, was the youngest.
Duke Gulliver was tall and sturdy, with a dignified appearance. Regardless of whether he stood or not, he had a majestic aura. At this moment, he was dressed in casual clothes and stood with his hands behind his back. Without any posture, he naturally had the bearing of a Grand Duke. His gaze swept past the figure in front of him and landed on the spot where Allen's figure had disappeared. Suddenly, he chuckled, "You said before that you wanted Lucy to see his limits and give up on him. However, in the blink of an eye, he had stabilized his Origin Energy realm. I think Lucy will not give up even more now. "
Hearing this, the man smiled softly and said indifferently, "That's because he was previously limited by the Origin Energy Confinement ability." If there was no miracle, he would stop below Level 20 for the rest of his life. But as you can see this time, he was washed away by the Origin Energy of the stars, but he accidentally crossed the bottleneck of the Confinement Barrier. "In addition, he has contributed to our Adahua Planet. It is reasonable for me to help him once."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But there is still one last barrier in his body. I wonder if he will be able to break through this barrier. If he can break through, he will soar into the sky. "
"What about Lucy? Are you going to continue to leave her by her side?" Duke Gulliver reminded, "I heard that Link had a fight with this little fellow earlier. I don't think I need to remind you that Link is not the only candidate for Lucy." The families of the others have expressed their dissatisfaction more than once recently. "
The man standing in front of the window snorted heavily, but didn't say anything.
"It's not their fault. After all, the children of those families are also qualified to compete for Lucy." Gulliver continued.
The man finally said, "I gave them their qualifications!"
In other words, since he could give them the qualification, he could also take it back. Gulliver's gaze was complicated as he sighed, "But that will definitely affect the relationship between you and those families."
"What a joke! Do you think I can ignore my own daughter's feelings? In short, unless Lucy gives up on herself … "
Duke Gulliver said, "What if she doesn't give up? Do you intend to exempt Lucy from her duties as a member of the royal family? That would be too unfair to your other children! "
"Fairness …" He sighed. "Fairness is easier said than done. But even if people say I'm old and muddle-headed, I'll accept it. I owe Lucy too much. If that young man is strong enough to protect her, I am willing to give my daughter to him. If worst comes to worst, I'll abolish Lucy's identity as a princess. That way, those people will shut up, right? "
Gulliver smiled bitterly. "You've probably been thinking about today since the day Lousha died, right? He deliberately alienated Lucy and married Princess Carrie, who looked 70% similar to Lucy. Outsiders only know that you miss your dead wife, causing your father and daughter to be at odds. Who knows that you are trying to protect your daughter? "
"The children of the royal family are noble, but they may not necessarily be happy." The man in front of the window sighed, "Back then, he didn't want to be a king of justice. It was my old man who forced me to take the throne." Besides, Lucy's personality is like her mother's. If Lousha doesn't know me, she doesn't have to be a caged bird. Only she knows if she's lucky or unlucky to be in the royal family. When Lousha was dying, she only said three words in my ear … "
"What three words?"
"I can't let it go …" The man's shoulders trembled and he said, "I know she can't let go of her daughter, so I thought at that time, I had to do something. At the very least, I have to give my daughter the freedom to pursue happiness … "
"You." Duke Gulliver shook his head. "Forget it, since you have this plan. If you need me to do anything, just tell me. "
The Grand Duke paused and said, "There's one thing I think I have to tell you."
"Carrie?" The prophet in front of the window said, "What does she want to do?"
"Princess Carrie has been asking about our distinguished guest these past few days, intentionally or unintentionally, including asking about his residence." Gulliver frowned and said, "Do you want me to send someone to keep an eye on her?"
The man in front of the window laughed, "She's trying to seduce Allen. I know that she hates me and Lucy all these years. If it weren't for the fact that she looked like Lousha, I wouldn't have married her into the palace. So as long as it makes me and Lucy uncomfortable, she will always go and mess around. That woman, she's not afraid that I'll execute her at all. On the contrary, it's a relief for her. "
Gulliver shook his head and said, "In the end, it's because you and her are husband and wife, but not husband and wife. Princess Carrie is complaining in her heart. "
"Yeah, but every time I see her, I can't help but think of Lousha, so …" The man spread out his hands.
"Then what do you plan to do with the princess?"
"Let her go." The man said an answer that stunned the Duke, "Remember to move the Golden Guards away from our distinguished guests. Don't let them see what they shouldn't see. If, if something really happens between them, I'll take the opportunity to cripple Carrie. It's time to let her go. As for Lucy, if she finds out about this, I'm afraid she'll have to reconsider her relationship with Allen, right? "
Gulliver's heart sank when he heard this. In the end, this man was still worried about Allen and allowed Princess Carrie to probe. The Grand Duke shook his head with a bitter smile. He only pitied Princess Carrie. She wanted to take revenge on him, but in the end, she still had to act as a touchstone for Lucy. If the princess knew, she would probably die of shame and anger, right?
"Let's go. I want to taste your chef's dinner tonight." The man clapped his hands and said, "It's also a convenient opportunity for Carrie to act."
Gulliver said with a bitter face, "Looks like the treasures in my wine cellar are going to suffer."
"Based on your stinginess." The man scolded with a smile.
The two of them finally left the tower.
Night fell.
After dinner and a small gathering with Lola and the others, Allen returned to his residence alone. He could clearly feel that the genetic circuits in his body had entered a stage of recombination. He estimated that he would be able to complete his evolution at dawn and combine the genetic circuits into a Origin Energy Base Plate. This was the sign of an official advancement to the Awakened Realm. Allen had already planned to sit quietly for the night to take a look at the various wonders of the genetic circuit combination.
Unexpectedly, when he pushed open the door and walked into his bedroom, he suddenly saw a figure standing with his back facing him. When he entered, the lights in the room lit up at the same time as if by magic, clearly reflecting this figure in Allen's eyes.
A high crown and long skirt. It was obviously a woman. Just by looking at her back, one could see her graceful figure and her gentle charm. He didn't need to look at her face to know that she was a beauty. However, why was a beauty waiting for him here? Allen almost thought that he had entered the wrong room.
"Are you Allen? The man Lucy likes? "She spoke and turned around.
When he saw her appearance clearly, Allen was shocked again. This woman's appearance was actually 70% similar to Lucy's. The same blonde hair and blue eyes, almost the same as Lucy's mature appearance ten years later. For a moment, he was speechless.
The woman's eyes were blurry. "You look pretty good. In this way, it's not a loss."
Allen was confused and didn't know what she was talking about. He came back to his senses and said, "Madam is?"
"Madam? Am I very old? "The woman said with a smile, not showing any signs of displeasure.
If he hadn't heard Lucy say that her mother had died early, he would have thought that the woman in front of him was Lucy's mother. He immediately said, "Sorry, may I know why you're looking for me, young lady?"
"Miss?" The woman shook her head. "I still have some self-awareness. I've long since passed that green age."
This madam wasn't, and neither was the young lady. Allen felt a headache coming on. Unexpectedly, this woman didn't give up until she was shocked.
She said, "You can call me Carrie. Princess Carrie. "
"Wang … Princess?" Allen immediately looked around.
Princess Carrie chuckled and said, "There's no need to look. Our emperor is not in the palace tonight."
"Then may I ask why Princess Carrie is looking for me?" Allen braced himself and asked. He had a feeling that it wouldn't be a good thing.
Princess Carrie smiled but didn't answer. She waved her hand behind her head and untied her hair. Immediately, a head of blonde hair scattered, and a few strands of hair stuck to her face, making her even more beautiful and alluring. Allen felt that the atmosphere was not right and wanted to retreat. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly closed and the princess said, "Don't be afraid, the two outside are my trusted aides. I came to find you tonight to test if you are qualified to be her man for our noble Highness Lucy. "
"The princess wants to compete with me?" Allen smiled bitterly. He thought to himself that he had fought with Link in the Garden of Eden not long ago. Did he have to fight with this Princess Carrie again now? However, looking at it from top to bottom, this princess obviously didn't even have a fire seed lit. How could she fight?
The princess laughed, "What you say is interesting. A duel, it can be considered. It was just that this battle was going to be on the bed. Of course, if you like to be under the bed, I will accompany you. "
"What?" Allen cried out involuntarily. No matter how rich his imagination was, he never thought that Princess Fei's so-called duel was referring to this kind of duel. His expression turned ugly. The other party was Orfasis's concubine. If anything happened between him and her, it would probably be even more harmful than the Barbarians' actions to sow discord between Earth and Adahua Planet.
Princess Carrie had already walked in front of him. She was tall and stood in front of Allen, looking at him at the same time. The princess put her hand on Allen's chest and said softly, "What, I'm not that ugly, am I? Don't look at me as a princess, but that bastard hasn't touched me yet. I guarantee you'll be the first man to taste me. You know why that bastard married me back then, because I look like His Highness Lucy's mother. "
Allen was shocked again.
At this moment, the princess stretched her hands behind her. Suddenly, her skirt was pulled back to the end, and it was actually hollow inside. Under the lights in the room, Allen could see it clearly. Whether it was the soft jade on his chest or the mysterious triangle, they were all read. Princess Carrie slammed into Allen, causing Allen to fall to the ground in a daze. He subconsciously reached out to support her, but his hands caught the already firm mountain range.
Suddenly, it was not appropriate to let go, not to let go.
