After faintly learning some secrets of the "treasure" of the Blue Lake Mountain Range, Alice was not surprised that Chen Rui easily entered and exited the magic circles along the way with ease. As an additional clause of the agreement, little loli specially promised Chen Rui that she would never disclose this matter. She also promised him to accept Kia's protection on normal days and would no longer be so willful.
After listening to the 2 stories, the tired little loli fell asleep on Chen Rui's back. When he sat on the tri-horned rhino with her in his arms, her young face was as tranquil as a newborn baby, giving Chen Rui a feeling of peace of mind.
3 years …
Can time really change everything?
Chen Rui gently stroked little loli's hair, and he suddenly remembered a classic saying. Let's talk about the future in the future.
No matter what, at least she is the cutest sister.
When Chen Rui returned to the palace with the sleeping Alice on his back, Jía walked out quickly. Seeing that little loli was safe and sound, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took Alice from his hands, handed her to the maid, and sent her to the inner courtyard to rest.
Although Dodo's incarnation of Chen Rui was inconspicuous, he had already appeared publicly in the Dark Moon, so he didn't have to hide.
"You have to worry about Alice's matter as soon as you come back. Thank you." Jía said, and the 2 walked into the council hall together. The maid on the side had already retreated sensibly.
"It's okay."
"This time … you're outside. Are you alright?"
For the first time, Jía didn't directly ask about the plan this time, but she asked such a question. It was not a bureaucratic greeting, but it was stiff and difficult, mixed with a feeling that she couldn't explain.
It was as if she hadn't seen this man for a long time, and she wanted to blurt out something.
In Chen Rui's ears, there was a faint warmth in her tone. He nodded and said, "I'm fine, but you seem to have lost some weight."
Since the appearance of the Dark Moon's "treasure", Jía had been busy. She had indeed lost some weight, but her mental appearance was much better than when she faced great pressure before. The elegant temperament of an ice goddess was even more attractive.
For the subjects of the Dark Moon, this was a kind of majesty that kept people thousands of miles away, but for someone, majesty and lord were all fleeting clouds. In his eyes, she was just a beautiful boss.
Moreover, there was an ambiguous relationship between him and the iceberg royal sister boss. Shea definitely wouldn't admit it, but she had to admit it in her heart.
"Save your sweet words for Athena and Kia." Jía's eyes turned cold. This guy, if I loosen an inch, he will be furious. However, she seemed to have forgotten that she started the conversation first.
Chen Rui still smiled and said, "Then, the true words like 'but more beautiful' can only be forced back."
"Okay! It's time for you to talk about the plan. " Jía's concluding remarks stopped this meaningless conversation. Maybe she wanted to continue, but the plan was related to the future of the Dark Moon, so it was obviously more important.
Chen Rui didn't continue to tease her. He explained the progress of the plan, then he told her about the possible situations and countermeasures. Jía couldn't help but nod.
"The plan that was almost unimaginable at the time has been implemented to this extent now …"
"This plan has changed too much compared with the original expectation. Many of them are improvised. In fact, I'm not sure. I can only say that our luck and mine are good."
"In any case, all of this is brought about by you." Jía said with deep emotion, "It's just a year. The Dark Moon at the beginning and the Dark Moon now … Trusting you at the beginning was the best decision in my life."
Indeed, when Chen Rui first came, the Dark Moon was just a desperate struggle, but now it was a thriving hope. More importantly, if the plan was successful, this hope might be further closer to realization.
Jía took a deep look at him, "On behalf of the entire Dark Moon, I want to say thank you."
"It's too early to thank me now." The "entire Dark Moon" made Chen Rui feel that the atmosphere seemed a little serious. He immediately squinted his eyes, "Besides, I only accept Princess Royal's personal gratitude. I think … there will be opportunities to explore this issue 'in-depth' in the future."
Jía was not angry this time. She just shook her head gently, "In a sense, I am the entire Dark Moon. You should understand."
Chen Rui saw 70% determination and … 30% gloominess in her purple eyes. For the lineal descendant of the Lord of Midnight Sun, the lord of the entire Dark Moon, and also the legal heir of the empire, one "hair" would affect the "whole body". Many things were involuntary.
Perhaps she was already involuntary since she was born. After her father passed away, this involuntary feeling was infinitely magnified.
"When you went to the Shadow Empire last time, you should have met Empress Catherine. She turned the tide and saved the entire Shadow Empire. She made the Shadow Empire grow step by step until it became the powerful empire today. She is the most amazing woman in the entire Demon Realm, and she is also my lifelong goal. " Jía wanted to add that Catherine the Great was still single, but she didn't say it for some reason. It was the first time she said this to others. She only felt a strange feeling in her heart. It was completely different from facing the mirror or wind chime in the secret room deep in the palace.
In fact, even if Jía added that sentence, it was useless because she didn't know that the first man and only man of Catherine the Great, her imitating goal or idol, was this human in front of her.
Chen Rui put away his playful attitude and said seriously, "Perhaps an outstanding leader can really change an estate or even an empire. I actually don't know much about this … I only know that even an ordinary person has a relaxing moment to relieve pressure. If everything is suppressed in the heart, then sooner or later there will be a day of collapse. How can a person who is knocked down by his own pressure become a truly great ruler? "
He almost revealed the matter of the secret room, but he was worried that Jía would turn against him after her biggest privacy was revealed. Now that she had a good sign of revealing her thoughts, it was better to do it step by step. At least, he had to wait until the most important plan that he painstakingly planned succeeded.
Jía nodded slightly, only to hear the guy say another word, "So …"
"So?"
"Aren't you going to take the initiative to invite me to dance to express your personal gratitude?"
Let a lady take the initiative to invite you to dance? Jía almost couldn't hold back her emotions. After a long time, she calmed down and said coldly, "If you want to dance, there are still two women waiting for you at home."
Why does this sentence sound a bit sour? Chen Rui showed a look of reminiscence, "I suddenly don't want to dance now, but I remembered another thing. I remember that last time Princess Royal promised … when I say a certain word … you can't kill me."
Jía's face inexplicably flashed a rare blush. Chen Rui saw it and added with interest, "Princess Royal seems to have sworn in the name of the royal family."
Jía only felt that her heart was beating fast. She gritted her teeth and said, "You … don't go too far!"
Chen Rui asked blankly, "Is it too far?"
He was willing to bet that he definitely had the style of a certain valley's pseudo-natural daze.
"…"
"Next time, I may come back after the plan is almost completed. Let's save these three words until then …"
"…"
"Which three words does Princess Royal think I should say?"
"…"
Jía suddenly took a deep breath, her expression became cold, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down. She turned her back and ignored him. Her tone was resolute, "No matter what it is, it's your business, it has nothing to do with me! I want to remind you not to hold any unrealistic delusions! Don't forget your identity! "
"I just …"
"I don't want to listen to these meaningless things anymore. Now, you can leave!"
The human's tone seemed to be a little depressed, "So … I'm leaving."
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Jía's head drooped slightly, and there was a faint sense of loss in her tone, "Stupid woman, he should say the word 'right' to you."
You really don't want to hear it?
Do you really want him to go?
Or are you afraid that it will be difficult to control if you continue step by step? Or difficult to refuse?
You're really a stupid woman …
Just at this time.
"Right … that, Princess Royal …"
The voice suddenly came from the door of the hall. Jía was shocked as if she got an electric shock. She looked back and found that the guy didn't go far! Then the words just now …
There was a nasty smile on his nasty face, "Actually, I want to add that there are some important things that I want to confess to Princess Royal together. Uh … that, confess …"
"You finished?"
"It seems so …"
"Get lost!"
In the monstrous murderous aura, someone fled.
The palace guards, even if they changed shifts temporarily, didn't see Chen Rui carrying Alice into the palace. They all knew that it must be the human sheriff who angered Princess Royal.
Every now and then, there would always be one or two times. They didn't know what this guy reported that made Her Royal Highness so angry. Anyway, this daring guy would lose his head sooner or later.
But then again, it was also a kind of … ability to make Princess Royal, who had always been cold, lose her composure.
Sure enough, it was the human sheriff who had just woken up. Seeing the strange look of several familiar guards, the human smiled awkwardly, but there was a faint warmth in his heart: Stupid woman? It's cuter to call her stupid woman …
In the council hall, Jía gently covered her face. She felt the heat from the inside out that couldn't go away. She didn't know if it was shame, annoyance, or both.
Finally, it gathered into one sentence: Damn man!
Princess Royal didn't know that this title was also said by her idol, Catherine, the Empress of the Shadow Empire in the Crystal Valley a few months ago.
Moreover, it was the same damn man.
