The eye-catching first meeting of the 2 empresses was quite successful. Both sides ended the first day of talks in a friendly atmosphere.
In the Fallen Angel Secret Palace, Jía looked at "Aguile" who had taken off his cloak and mask, and nodded, "Rolla, thank you."
It turned out that the "Aguile" in front of Catherine previously was Rolla in disguise. Anyway, "Aguile" was usually disguised as the cloaked man. No one had seen his true face, so as long as Jía approved, it was not difficult to disguise.
"Oh." Miss Long responded.
Jía moved her gaze to Isabella on the side, "How are you?"
"I won't die for the time being." Isabella yawned and showed a casual smile, "It's just that there's nothing to be responsible for now, so I've become lazy. I feel a little sleepy all day, and I'm also a little afraid of the cold. This is good. I can sleep for a long time one day, and then I can let go of everything."
After Jía learned about Isabella's curse, she asked her to temporarily put down the secret intelligence department and recuperate in peace. This time, Isabella learned that Catherine was visiting, so she took the initiative to come up with this idea to let Rolla replace Chen Rui as Aguile.
Rolla had very few friends. Athena was the best one, followed by her second comrade in bed and the fashion designer, the Little Seductress. During the period of recuperation in the Rainbow Valley, Isabella fully demonstrated her diplomatic ability and established a fairly harmonious relationship with Rolla. When Rolla was protecting Jía, she also had a good relationship with the Jía sisters. Especially the little loli, in order to become the magic secret of the big-breasted alien, she deliberately flattered her. She called Miss Long sister and teacher, which made Miss Long really unable to reject her. Therefore, Miss Long specially put down her training and experiments to help this time.
"Rolla, are you sure you can defeat Catherine the Great?" Isabella asked Rolla to pretend to be Aguile. Firstly, she wanted to intimidate Catherine; secondly, she wanted to explore the background of the second powerhouse of the Demon Realm; thirdly, she wanted to publicize the identity of Chen Rui. In the future, whether it was bestowing or doing things, including the marriage with Jía, it would be much smoother.
Recently, there had been many voices of doubt in the imperial capital, and they were all about the empress's fiancé. If Jía was just the original lord of the Dark Moon, then she wouldn't be troubled like this. Many people thought that Jía was the ruler of a kingdom. As her husband, although he didn't have any real power, he represented the highest status symbol of the entire empire. People like Aguile with unknown origins couldn't become the husband of the princess. Therefore, Her Majesty Jía should choose a spouse from the royal family. That way, the bloodline of her descendants could be guaranteed to be unique, because it was difficult for high-level masters to give birth to children.
Rolla didn't pretend to be in a daze this time. She thought for a while, "I don't know."
Isabella and Jía looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Rolla was recognized as a super powerhouse. She had already stood at the peak of the Demon Overlord level. She once showed her power on the battlefield of the decisive battle with Obsidian. The 2 Dragons of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord were ravaged by the fairy Miss Long like a piece of cake. The right prime minister, Stiller. Bohr and the empire's top magician were all her registered disciples. Now that she had obtained the source power of earth given by the Earth Elemental King, she was one step closer to nationalization. Unexpectedly, with this level of strength, she actually didn't have the confidence to win against Catherine.
Catherine not only has wisdom and beauty, but also powerful strength. The second powerhouse of the Demon Realm really lives up to her reputation. Then … what about the top powerhouse, Raizen the Great? To what extent is he?
"That Catherine is very strong. She is almost the same as me." A light flashed behind Rolla's glasses, "Not only that, one of the bloodline talents of the Asmodeus Royal Family is the weakening of elements. It is very difficult for the magician to deal with this kind of talent. If the opponent is Catherine, then she will be more difficult to deal with than the black dragon's immune physique. The specific outcome is still uncertain now. We will only know after the actual battle. I am confident that at least I will not lose. "
"Well, our Her Majesty should be preparing for the party tonight. I'm going back to sleep for a while. I'm so sleepy." Isabella nodded, yawned, and didn't salute. She put on her veil and walked straight out.
Jía's eyes showed worry. Despite the suppression of the power of Fertile Yuan Soil, Isabella's recent state seemed to be a little bad. It was probably a precursor to the complete outbreak of [Light Annihilation Seal].
"Don't worry, he … will definitely come back in time."
Jía's voice made Isabella, who was walking to the gate, stop her footsteps. Although the 2 were "love rivals" who competed with each other on the issue of men, there was actually a strange feeling and trust between Her Majesty Empress and Ms. Intelligence. This feeling of confidantes started from the Obsidian Dark Moon Crusade.
"Yes, that guy never lets us down." This time it was the fake naive fairy Miss Long who usually cherished her words. The word "we" contained many meanings.
"En." Isabella responded casually and continued to walk out. Her body suddenly felt warm, and she felt that the wind outside was not so cold.
On the other side of the space, Chen Rui didn't know that the special economic zone he planned had developed to this extent in a short period of time, nor did he know that his 2 Her Majesty Empresses had officially met for the first time. In fact, when she was at the Dark Moon Estate, Her Majesty Empress, who was alias Iciz, had pretended to be a guard who came to meet Jía. Later, she even captured Chen Rui's father-in-law, Azgalor.
At this moment, he was invited by Eliza to go to the lady's room.
There were no Knights of Light guards such as Wesley outside Eliza's room. Chen Rui knocked on the unlocked door, and a sweet voice came from inside, "Please come in."
Chen Rui walked in and saw Eliza wearing a white dress. She leaned lazily on the sofa in the living room, showing a different kind of charm, but Chen Rui didn't have any thoughts. He saluted from a distance, "Miss Eliza, good morning."
"Good morning, Richard." Eliza sat up straight, "Close the door."
Chen Rui closed the door as instructed. Eliza gestured for him to sit down on the opposite sofa, "Richard, I called you here to thank you for your reminder yesterday. The situation was really critical at the time. If you didn't speak in time, I would have probably died in the hands of that assassin. "
"You don't have to be so polite, Miss Eliza. This is what I should do. Besides, your strength … I'm ashamed to say this, but I didn't know you were so powerful. All I could do was warn you. Even if I didn't say anything, you should have had the ability to avert the danger."
Eliza smiled noncommittally, her eyes squinting, "What I'm curious about is, even I didn't notice that there was something wrong with that guard. How did you notice?"
Chen Rui was already prepared for this question. He answered, "It's like this, Miss. You should know that I can communicate with magical beasts with my Soul Speech. At that time, the thunderbird on my shoulder sensed the guard's killing intent and felt a strong sense of fear. This phenomenon didn't happen when the assassins appeared earlier. When I sensed this abnormal phenomenon, I didn't have time to think too much and shouted desperately. "
Many magical beasts had innate senses that humans didn't have, and this was a high-level creature like the thunderbird. This explanation was reasonable. Eliza nodded and didn't pursue the matter. Instead, she changed the topic, "No matter what, I should thank you properly. Before that, I want to confess something. Actually … I've always been suspicious of you. "
"Suspicious?" Chen Rui looked surprised. This wasn't completely fake. He had long felt Eliza's suspicions, but he didn't expect her to say it herself.
"I've had a strong spiritual talent since I was young, and I can keenly sense other people's emotional fluctuations and even psychological changes. For example, that Lord Wally coveted my body, that fat city lord's extreme desire for power, and a certain future Temple Knight actually had some thoughts about me, but due to various considerations, he had been suppressing it … These can't hide from my feelings. "
Speaking up to this point, Eliza stared into Chen Rui's eyes and slowly said, "Only you, according to what you said about your background, should have many desires and pursuits, but you gave me a feeling of 'nothing' or 'indifference'. This is very abnormal. Therefore, I've always been suspicious of you, and even suspected that you were a spy sent by one of my enemies … It wasn't until you reminded me at the critical moment and saved my life that my doubts were dispelled. "
Chen Rui became vigilant. So this was the reason. Back then, Samuel had used the Eyes of Truth to see through his disguise. Now that Eliza had shown this kind of sensing ability, there were also many people with extraordinary talents and wisdom in the human world. They couldn't be underestimated, and he had to be more cautious in his actions in the future.
However, this reminder out of consideration for the plan just happened to dispel Eliza's doubts. It could be considered a lucky hit.
"What Miss sensed … may be related to the Elves' Mind Language, and …" Chen Rui smiled bitterly, "Miss said that I've experienced many things and many failures, including feelings, so some emotions …"
"Oh? Is it related to that elf? "
Chen Rui went with the flow and nodded, "From the moment she died in my arms, I felt like everything in me was destroyed. It was only a long time later that I pulled myself together, but I don't know why, but I seem to have lost all feeling towards other women. Perhaps she gave me some sort of mental hint before she died …"
Chen Rui had wanted to say that he had become gay, but in the end he felt that it would be too much, so he could only change to a more subtle way of saying it.
This time, it was Eliza's turn to be surprised. She looked at him with a strange expression, especially the look in her eyes. It made Chen Rui have the urge to roll his eyes. Fine, weird it is, but it's better than being suspicious. I'll bear with it.
"Err, since we've already made things so clear, I won't be unreasonable, Richard." Eliza did not dwell on the issue of being gay, and said with a straight face, "I hope you can become my right-hand man. I will definitely put you in an important position, not just to thank you, but also to acknowledge your talent. You can stay in Garton City, or you can go to the capital. I can guarantee that in less than three years, you will become a Paladin of Light, and you might even have a chance to enter Whitecliff. If you don't plan to become a clergyman for life, as a Paladin of Light, with my help … Even if you're a prince of some kingdom, I can still fulfill your biggest wish. "
To 'Richard', this condition was already very tempting.
Chen Rui's eyes brightened, showing that he was tempted, but he fell into hesitation. After a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Eliza. Your condition is indeed very tempting, but it's a pity that I've already sworn to be a follower of Lord Paul. I originally signed a contract with Pastor Mana, but now that he's dead, the contract has been dissolved. I will keep this contract until I personally see Lord Paul become an official paladin of the temple. This is my promise to Lord Paul. "
Eliza frowned, "My uncle is a cardinal, and my teacher is the Saintess of the Radiant Church. Is becoming my follower not as good as Lord Paul?"
"Miss Eliza's background is far beyond Lord Paul's," Chen Rui shook his head, this time much more resolute than before, "But even if Miss Eliza can trust a follower who would betray the Lord for his own benefits, I would not have the face to stay by your side."
"Richard, your dedication and character have surprised me, but at the same time I admire you," Eliza revealed a complicated expression, "Should I congratulate you for having such a follower? Or should I be jealous of you? My Lord Paul? "
As soon as she finished speaking, Paul slowly walked out of the room, looking at Chen Rui with undisguised admiration. From this moment on, Chen Rui knew that he had gained Paul's complete trust. At the same time, Eliza's vigilance had been dispelled.
Eliza probably had the intention of recruiting Chen Rui. That kind of persuasion that moved Chen Rui's emotions and benefits was not only to rope him in, but also to show Paul. She should have already known that Chen Rui had become Paul's follower. If Chen Rui was truly moved by those benefits, Paul would definitely lose trust in this follower, and she would have a legitimate reason to poach him. Unfortunately, she failed.
In fact, what Paul and Eliza didn't know was that even though Paul had restrained his aura, Chen Rui had long since known that he was hiding in the room. The reason why he had said that was because of Paul's intentions, and also because he had cleverly delayed the matter of the contract until they entered White Cliff.
"You can go back and rest now, my most loyal assistant," Paul put away his arrogance and smiled at Chen Rui for the first time, "I still have some matters to discuss with Miss Eliza. Oh right, be prepared to leave at any time. Follow me back to the Long Huang Empire to settle some matters, then I will take you to White Cliff to participate in the selection of the paladins of the temple. I can guarantee that you will see with your own eyes the moment I receive the sword of a paladin. It will be an important moment that you will never forget for the rest of your life. "
Chen Rui responded with a smile, bowed, and left the room. However, he added in his mind, You will never forget what happens when the time comes, adorable paladin.
