Within a room, there was a strange smell, as well as the pungent smell of all sorts of medicinal herbs.
At the center of the room, there was a middle-aged man silently lying on the bed, looking incredibly weak.
He looked very tall, but at the moment, he was covered in cuts and bruises. There were wounds all over his body, and the smell of herbs enveloped him.
His right hand was also empty. His arm had already disappeared.
Looking at Mader like this, Chen Heng lightly sighed.
The scene of his battle with Mader was still fresh in his mind. He hadn't expected that in just a few months, Mader would become like this.
It had to be said that life was unpredictable.
However, to a certain degree, this was the fate of Knights.
As a Knight, from the moment they awakened their Life Seed, it was very unlikely that they would die of old age.
Most of the knights would die in battles or in all kinds of accidents.
Compared to the other knights, Mader's current predicament was nothing out of the ordinary.
He walked out of Madder's room and stood outside the door. Carey was still waiting there.
"Let's go."
He patted Carey's shoulder and left.
Of course, before leaving, he left behind his gift and gave it to Mader's servant.
On the way back, Chen Heng thought to himself as he sat in the carriage.
The conflict between Princess Olivia and Prince Grith had been even more intense than he had expected.
As a Knight, Mader was one of the top-tier existences in the Kutu Principality, and yet he had become like this.
As for Prince Grith's Knight, he had died.
From another perspective, this sort of result was quite beneficial to Chen Heng.
Based on what he knew, Princess Olivia only had three Knights under her command.
Now that Mader had become like this, it was equivalent to losing one of them.
As such, Chen Heng's value became even more evident.
At the very least, he was even more important to Princess Olivia.
In his battles with Mader, he had already displayed his value. His strength was incredibly powerful, and even Mader could not easily defeat him without using his Life Energy.
With such strength, he could be said to be a quasi-Knight. In the future, he would awaken his Life Seed and become a true Knight.
Now that they had already lost a Knight, Princess Olivia's gaze would most likely fall on him and place more importance on him.
"It's a pity that I haven't awakened my Life Seed yet. Otherwise, the plan would have been even more successful."
Sitting in the carriage, Chen Heng felt that it was a pity.
There was a huge difference between a Knight awakening a Life Seed or not.
Even though Chen Heng's performance had been exceptional, he had not awakened a Life Seed, so compared to a true Knight, he was not as valuable.
If he had already awakened his life seed and become a true knight, the treatment he would receive would be even more different.
Regarding this, Chen Heng felt quite helpless.
After his battle with Mader, he had been training hard. Whether it was the Knights Breathing Technique or the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique, he had never slacked off.
His power had indeed increased, and under the stimulation of the life energy, his Solid Rock Body Forging Technique had progressed very quickly. However, he was still unable to find the feeling of awakening his Seed of Life.
From the looks of it, there seemed to be something lacking.
"The closest I've ever been to awakening was when I fought Mader …"
Chen Heng thought to himself, "It seems that in battle, the Seed of Life is more easily stimulated and awakened?"
This thought flashed through his mind as he guessed.
However, he did not have a chance to verify his guesses, so he could only bury them in his heart.
After a while, the carriage slowly returned to Chen Heng's residence.
After visiting Mader, the following days passed quite peacefully.
Until one day.
"Princess Olivia's invitation?"
Looking at the invitation from the woman, Chen Heng looked quite surprised.
"That's right."
In front of him, the woman smiled and said, "In a few days, Princess Olivia will have some free time and hopes to invite Mr. Kaelin to have dinner with her. Would you be free?"
"I will definitely go, Your Highness."
Chen Heng nodded and did not hesitate to agree to Princess Olivia's invitation.
After recovering, the woman turned and left.
Looking at the woman's departing figure, Chen Heng's expression was calm.
Just as he had expected, Princess Olivia had taken the initiative to approach him.
This invitation was the first step.
As for whether or not he could achieve his goal, it would depend on Chen Heng's own abilities.
Thinking to there, he turned and silently made his preparations.
A few days later.
The palace's doors slowly opened, revealing the scene within.
As he walked within, Chen Heng looked around.
This was the palace, and the surrounding buildings were all quite ancient. Even though they looked quite old, they still looked quite grand and majestic.
In the surroundings, guards in neat armor stood at the side, guarding the blind spots of the palace.
As they watched on, Chen Heng slowly walked to the end of the palace.
At this moment, Olivia was waiting for him in the depths.
She wore a red dress and seemed to have gone through some make-up, making her look quite exquisite and beautiful.
"Long time no see, Mr. Kaelin."
Looking at Chen Heng, she smiled and spoke softly.
"Respected Princess Olivia, it is a pleasure to meet you again."
Chen Heng's expression was respectful as he earnestly bowed.
Even though he was not very interested in etiquette lessons, in actuality, Chen Heng had a good grasp of them. His actions did not seem disrespectful at all, and each and every one of his actions was filled with good upbringing.
However, he was different from the others. When he moved, his body was always straight, and his eyes were especially sharp, giving people a different feeling.
Today, he had purposely worn a close-fitting robe. Under the faint light, his entire body was tall and straight. His handsome and exquisite face was especially outstanding. His eyes were filled with determination and calmness. At first glance, he was like an extremely outstanding knight, giving people a feeling that their eyes would light up.
Looking at Chen Heng, Olivia's eyes could not help but light up.
At that moment, she understood why Verna could not forget about him.
Not only did he have good morals, but just his handsome looks were enough to attract people's gazes.
He was born into a noble family, was powerful, handsome, and had a pure moral character … A knight like this was indeed very attractive, especially to the girls.
