Lu Zhiyu and Eva stood in the crowd and watched as the brown-haired middle-aged knight rode on a tall horse, his back straight and dignified. He passed through the central King's Avenue and went straight into the palace. Both sides of the street were noisy. Everyone kept pushing forward, wanting to see the legendary Holy Knights and the orcs' Northern Cavalry.
"Master, do you know that person in front?" While everyone else was paying attention to the orc cavalrymen and the Holy Knights, Eva was paying attention to Lu Zhiyu's expression.
Lu Zhiyu tilted his head and looked at Eva. "You know me quite well! You can guess it just by looking at my expression? "
Eva nodded. "That's because you're always smiling when you're not doing anything, Master. But when you're thinking about something or reminiscing, you're more calm."
Lu Zhiyu was not happy. "Huh? My smile is so sincere, but why does it sound so fake in your mouth? "
Eva didn't say anything. Lu Zhiyu rolled his eyes and said, "I did meet him a long time ago, but at that time, he was just a very young man, but …"
Lu Zhiyu was silent for a long time, as he watched Aaron Yi Wensi pass by him. However, Aaron Yi Wensi did not even look down to see Lu Zhiyu and Eva. Lu Zhiyu said as he watched Aaron Yi Wensi Wensi head towards the palace.
"It looks like the Crete Empire won't be peaceful this time!"
Back then, the owner of the Elias Business Group, Lu Zhiyu's old friend, Elias, had died a long time ago. Lu Zhiyu had become the Holy Knight of the Holy Seville Empire, the head of the Northern Army, and one of the most powerful men in the Orc Kingdom.
He was the youngest son of the Prime Minister of the Crete Empire, Count Yi Wensi. Count Yi Wensi had been a very influential figure in the Crete Empire during the reign of Elliot VII. Count Yi Wensi had been instrumental in making Elliot VIII the Emperor of the Crete Empire. Of course, he had also received generous rewards. He had been the Prime Minister of the Crete Empire during the reign of Elliot VIII, and had stood at the top of the Crete Empire.
However, he had participated in the Council of Nobles and launched a conspiracy against the Church of Light. In the end, he had been betrayed by Duke Vortigen and became a scapegoat. Duke Vortigen had successfully ascended to the throne, while Count Yi Wensi had died along with Elliot VIII. His entire family had been massacred, leaving only two sons. His eldest son, Pazaka, had been killed in an accident in the Orc Empire, leaving only the young Aaron Yi Wensi.
Aaron Yi Wensi had dreamed of returning to his childhood in Niyah. This was his hometown, the place where he had grown up. At the same time, it was also the source of his nightmares. It was the place where he had woken up from countless nightmares.
Looking at the city of Niyah, the scenes from his childhood came to mind. Compared to his childhood memories, dozens of years had passed. Many of the buildings in the city had been renovated and rebuilt. Even the King's Avenue had been widened, but he could still vaguely recall his childhood memories.
Aaron Yi Wensi had thought about it countless times. What kind of scene would it be when he returned to this place again? He had never imagined that he would enter the Crete Empire as an emissary of the Orc Empire.
At this moment, he wasn't a wanderer who had returned, but a complete outsider. He didn't represent the humans, but the Orc Empire. This was really ironic. The ever-changing world always gave people the most ridiculous ending.
"That Temple Knight at the front doesn't seem to be a Beastman!"
"I heard that the emissary this time is a human!"
"How is that possible? How could a human become a lackey of the Orc Empire? "
"Why else? Some people would even betray their own parents for the sake of power. What's so strange about being a lackey of the orcs? "
Aaron Yi Wensi led his horse and finally arrived at the entrance of the palace. Aaron Yi Wensi's eyes were dark and gloomy as he looked at the grand palace hall and the prosperous city of Niyah.
Aaron Yi Wensi remembered the faces of his father, his uncle, his aunt, his mother, and his brother, all of whom had died in front of him. Over the decades, he had never forgotten the damage that Vortigen's Crete Empire and the Kingdom of the Church of Light had inflicted on the Evans family.
Aaron Yi Wensi remembered how Vortigen had stepped on the Evans family's corpses to ascend to the throne. He also remembered how the Knights of Light had chased after him and his mother, forcing them to flee to the Orc Empire. In the end, his mother had given up her own life in order to save him and his brother's lives.
Each and every one of them was like a knife carved into Allen Yi Wensi's heart. It was his motivation to keep moving forward. He had been lurking and struggling for decades. He had been living alone in a foreign country for decades, waiting for this moment.
As he entered the capital of the Crete Empire and crossed the King's Road, Aaron Yi Wensi watched as the palace gradually appeared in front of him. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He lowered his head and thought of the words he had said when he had buried his mother and brother.
"When I return, darkness will cover the entire Crete Empire. The earth will tremble, and the sky will be dyed red with blood and fire!"
The closer he got to the palace, the more cordial the smile on Aaron Yi Wensi's face became. His horse was stopped at the entrance of the palace, where the Prime Minister of the Crete Empire, Tembor, had personally come to receive him.
Aaron stretched out his hand, and all the knights dismounted in unison. Aaron took off his gloves and walked up the steps towards Tembor, who was waiting for him.
"Hello, Paladin Aaron, His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you inside." Tembor was a middle-aged fat man, but he had an elegant demeanor and didn't seem to have any problems in dealing with people.
Aaron Yi Wensi glanced at Tembor and understood that he was the person who held real power in the Crete Empire. Compared to King Zolman II, his words held more weight in the Crete Empire.
"Duke Tembor, the Holy Seville Empire has come with friendship. We hope to resolve the border trade dispute, as well as some of the friction between the two countries. This is a win-win measure, and I hope that you will support it." Aaron shook hands with Tembor.
Duke Tembor said calmly, "Of course, His Majesty also hopes to be a friend of the Holy Seville Empire. His Majesty has specially held a banquet for you in the evening, and I hope that you will be able to attend."
Aaron Yi Wensi nodded happily and said, "It would be an honor!"
"Well, His Majesty is waiting inside!"
