Lucy looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
He had a smile on his face, like the warm March sun. He still remembered that when he was young, he looked at himself and his mother like this. However, with the death of his mother, there was no smile or sunshine on this man's body.
Now, was he telling the truth? Or was it a lie to coax him?
Lucy didn't know. It was said that a woman's heart was as deep as the sea. But who knew that no matter how deep a woman's thoughts were, they couldn't be deeper than the emperor's.
Orfasis sighed in his heart, knowing that his daughter would find it difficult to trust him for a while. This was no wonder. After ten years of estrangement, the father and daughter were strangers. How could they be completely changed with a few words? This was the cocoon he had formed himself. If he wanted to untie it, he could only use the skill of water grinding to pull it out strand by strand. At most, it would take another ten years, the Great Emperor thought.
He put away the sunshine on his face and squeezed out a bit of the emperor's dignity. He said in a deep voice, "I'm serious, but let me make this decision." It was you and Allen who earned it. Previously, he had objected because Allen had Origin Energy shackles on his body. At that time, no matter how talented he was, it was difficult for him to cross level 20. If you can't even cross the Awakened Realm, how can you be worthy of your identity as an empress? Besides, he's not the first successor in the clan. My Adahua Planet's imperial daughter can't fall to this level no matter what. "
The Great Emperor paused for a moment and said, "Fortunately, he has made a great contribution to my Adahua Planet this time. Moreover, he accidentally broke through the barrier of imprisonment and stood at the current Level 25 position." Moreover, it wouldn't be a problem for him to activate the Void Origin Energy when he advanced to Level 30. This was one. Secondly, the Federation had already awarded him a first-class military merit, which caused his status in the clan to rise. He was bound to be the first in line. With his talent and potential, it wouldn't be difficult for him to inherit the clan in the future. "Finally, it's you. You haven't given up yet. I can't say anything else, so I'll let you guys be together."
Lucy thought to herself, That's normal.
Orfasis glanced at her and said indifferently, "But, although I won't stop you from being together." But I won't stop those candidates from pursuing you either. As for the difficulties they've launched against Allen, I won't interfere. If Allen can't bear all of this for you, then he doesn't have the right to be with you. You have to know this, whether you like it or not, since you were born into the Imperial Family, the blood of the Imperial Family cannot be washed away. Therefore, there are some problems that the two of you can't avoid. "
"I know."
"That would be best." Golden flames suddenly lit up in the depths of Orfasis's pupils as he said, "Now that you have the strength of Level 18, I think it's time for you to advance with some more tempering. But I can't let you advance just like that. "
Lucy was confused.
"Golden Rose." Orfasis' pupils returned to normal. "This Origin Tool was discovered by the Rose Empress and named after her. You also know that it has three stances: Shield Breaker, Magic Breaker, and Annihilation. When you become an Awakened, the Golden Rose's Anti-Demon Stance will also be awakened. With the power to destroy demons, even the ruler's Origin Energy Shield wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from you. When that time comes, you can easily kill people above your level. Even if you can't kill a ruler, you can still scare them away. "
"But that's not a good thing after all."
Lucy was smart and nodded, "Are you afraid that I will relax my training if I have the power to kill enemies above my level?"
"This is just one of the reasons." Orfasis said decisively, "More importantly, you have a convenient killing weapon like the Golden Rose, but you don't have the power to protect it. If you attract a strong enemy, it won't be a good thing for you and Allen. Even if the Golden Rose wasn't something that anyone could use, it was still an Origin Tool. Just this alone is enough to tempt people. "
"Then what do you mean? Leave it in the Imperial Court? "Lucy probed.
Orfasis laughed, "What's the point of staying in the Imperial Court? No one can use it. It's still on you, but I'm going to seal off your Origin Energy and stop it from growing. I'll teach you how to condense your energy into liquid. All you have to do is hone it carefully. When you can condense all of your Origin Energy into liquid, you will naturally be able to break through the restrictions I placed on you. At that time, even if he couldn't advance to the Void Origin Energy level like Allen, it shouldn't be a problem for him to advance to Level Seven or Eight in one go. At that time, it won't be too eye-catching to use the Golden Rose again. "
Lucy nodded, "I understand."
The Great Emperor waved his hand, "Go down first. I'll prepare some things. Come back at this time tomorrow. When this lock is set, you can leave with Allen. "
Lucy said "Oh" and turned around to leave. After she left, Orfasis looked out of the window at the bright sunlight and shook his head with a bitter smile, "She still hasn't called me father. This stubborn girl …"
Duke Gulliver walked out of a room in the side hall. "Aren't you going to tell her that you stabilized Allen's Origin Energy for him?"
"What am I going to do? Do I have to ask for credit from my own daughter?" Orfasis laughed and scolded, "As long as she's happy, I don't need to let her know what I've done. It's easier for her not to know about these things, isn't it? "
The Grand Duke shook his head and said, "She's still young. She'll always understand you."
"Let's not talk about this. Carrie …"
"Don't worry, I've already sent her away secretly. She asked me to tell you, these ten years. She loved you, and she hated you. But now, she doesn't love or hate. "Archduke Gulliver said softly.
"Don't you love or hate?" Orfasis let out a long sigh and said, "That's good, but I still owe her ten years of time …"
Archduke Gulliver didn't want to talk about this heavy topic anymore, so he said, "I met Shaglin this morning. She rejected my offer, saying it ruined the atmosphere of Moon Lake."
Orfasis smiled faintly, "That's not surprising. She always hated to have guards in the Moon Lake Private Mansion. But this time, it was different. She had always been rude to men. There had been a lot of people chasing after her over the years, and there was no lack of outstanding talents among them. However, when have you ever seen her move? But this time, he took the initiative to find Allen to keep his seed. This seed is definitely not simple. Although she is unwilling to reveal anything, how can I let my Marquis Shaglin down so seriously? "
"Since she doesn't want to have guards on the surface, don't arrange for the Golden Guards to go over. Arrange for some experts. Shaglin is a treasure of our royal family. We can't let anything happen to her. "
Gulliver smiled bitterly and said, "You probably forgot that our Marquis is the best at predicting the end of the world. Maybe she already knows that we're still discussing the best candidate this time."
"It doesn't matter. If she protests, I'll talk to her myself." Orfasis's expression froze and he said, "She made a prophecy about the twilight of the universe. I'm afraid the seed in her stomach has something to do with this prophecy. At that time, it would be a real headache. "
