After dealing a blow to the Goddess of Destiny, Shien came to the palace again.
His purpose was naturally to look for Rosie.
"... Do you still remember the existence of me, your fiancée?"
In the room of the bedchamber, Rosie said faintly as she looked at Sean who had just entered the door.
Her tone was like that of a resentful wife who had been neglected for a long time.
Shien immediately laughed.
He had indeed neglected Rosie during this period of time.
"Well, I also want to improve my strength." Shien scratched his cheek and shrugged, "It's rare to get such a great harvest in the Inner Palace. If I don't work hard, wouldn't it all be in vain?"
Hearing this, although Rosie still had some resentment in her heart, it was not that she could not understand Shien's actions.
Even if she did not know what kind of harvest Shien had gotten in the Inner Palace, she could tell from the fact that he could defeat her teacher that it was definitely something extraordinary.
With such a harvest, it was reasonable for him to want to improve his strength as soon as possible.
But...
"Half a month, for a whole half a month, other than asking me to find someone to teach you skills, you did not step into my room again..."
Rosie's tone was still difficult to conceal the hidden bitterness.
There was no other way.
After getting engaged to Shien, Rosie was finally freed from the incomparably busy official duties and could finally relax.
Rosie was naturally looking forward to this. She looked forward to Shien accompanying her every day, pampering her, and letting her live a happy life.
Who would have thought that for a whole half a month, Shien seemed to have completely forgotten about her. How could Rosie not be resentful?
Shien also felt a little guilty.
This lass, she wouldn't really become a resentful wife, right?
It had only been half a month and she was already so resentful. If he were to leave for a year and a half, what should he do?
"Alright." Shien could only make up his mind and said, "It seems that I need to put in a good effort tonight."
As soon as he said this, Rosie could not stand it anymore.
"I did not ask you to accompany me like this!"
Rosie could not help but blush and glared at Shien.
"It's all the same." Shien laughed and said, "Why? Don't you want to? "
Rosie opened her mouth and finally shut it with a red face.
In fact, she did want to...
But couldn't he be more tactful about this kind of thing?
She was a princess, the most precious treasure of the kingdom, and the most beautiful woman of the human race. Couldn't he give her some face and not speak so openly?
Besides, isn't this all your fault, you bastard?
If it weren't for you, would she have become like this?
Scumbag!
"What are you doing here?" Rosie said faintly. "You didn't come here just to accompany me, did you?"
… His tone was really filled with grievances.
However, Sean also knew that he had been a little obsessed for the past half a month, and he really did not pay much attention to the princess.
In that case...
"Haven't you always wanted to go out to play?" Shien suddenly said to Rosie, "How about I take you out to play?"
Sean's words caused Rosie to be startled at first, before her eyes abruptly lit up.
Due to her busy work and the daily appearance ceremony, Rosie really did not leave the Royal City much.
If not for that, the princess would not have been clamoring to go out to play all day.
Now, Shien actually said that he wanted to take her out to play?
Rosie immediately became excited.
"Go... Where to play!?"
At that moment, Rosie could not help but lean forward and ask Sean in an urgent tone.
Sean, on the other hand, looked very sincere. He held his chin and pondered seriously.
He really had a place he wanted to go.
For example, the Empire.
Shien remembered something that happened half a month ago when he was preparing to learn skills from experts from all over the world and improve his strength.
...
On this day, Harvey and Lockhart came to the door together.
He also brought a piece of news to Shien.
"You're saying that the one called Wally escaped?"
Hearing the news brought by Harvey, Shien frowned.
"That's right." Harvey's expression did not seem very good, and he said helplessly, "My people have been watching Wally and the elite assassination squad of the Lefferut Family. Originally, I planned to immediately launch a surprise attack after Wally and the other party met up and annihilate them all."
This was also Harvey's promise. Before working with Shien, he would first help him get rid of the Lefferut Family.
Originally, this matter was going quite smoothly.
Last night, after Shien and Rosie's engagement party ended, Harvey received news from his people, claiming that they had caught the traces of Wally and the Lefferut Family's elite assassination squad.
So, Harvey immediately led his people, caught up with Wally, and successfully launched a surprise attack on them.
But just as Harvey was about to annihilate the Lefferut Family, an accident happened.
"After the people around Wally fell, Lefferut seemed to realize that there was nothing he could do. I don't know why, but he suddenly summoned a monster."
Harvey's words made Shien frown again.
"Monster?"
Shien was puzzled.
But then, what Harvey said made Shien's pupils shrink.
"It really is a monster." Harvey recalled what happened at that time, and his expression was still a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "That monster has half a human body and the other half a centipede body. It also has dragon wings and can spit dragon breath. It's so strong that even Lockett couldn't get rid of it and almost suffered a loss."
Hearing this, Shien's face completely sank.
Because he was not unfamiliar with this monster's appearance at all.
"Young demon..."
Shien whispered.
"What?"
Harvey was startled.
"Nothing." Shien shook his head and did not answer Harvey's question. Instead, he turned to Lockett, who had been standing behind Harvey in silence and also had an ugly expression, and said, "Did Lockett suffer a loss in the hands of that monster?"
Lockett frowned, but he still nodded and admitted it.
"That monster is very strong, and it doesn't seem to have a physical body. Even when I cut it in half, it immediately returned to its original state, so I couldn't do anything to it. In the end, I could only retreat with Prince Harvey before there was a huge casualty."
Lockett's words made Shien completely sure that the monster he was talking about was a young demon.
Wally Lefferut could actually summon a young demon?
Could it be that the Lefferut Family was related to the [Original Demon]?
No, it was very likely that the one named Mara was related to the [Original Demon].
After all, Mara was the mastermind behind the Kosmos incident, and he was already in cahoots with [Mirage]. If that was the case, it was not that hard to accept that he would suddenly be related to the [Original Demon], who was also a member of the Old Demons Faction.
However, the [Original Demon] actually lent the young demon to Mara, and Mara gave it to the Lefferut Family, which allowed Wally to summon it in a critical moment. It was not hard to imagine that Mara and the Old Demons Faction were very close.
Perhaps, there were some schemes and collaborations between them that no one else knew about. That was for sure.
Harvey, who did not know about all this, could only lower his head and apologize to Shien with a shameful expression.
"I'm sorry. I was boasting in front of you, but I couldn't even complete such a small task." Harvey did not put on the airs of a prince at all. He said straightforwardly, "The accident this time is my fault. I will find a way to fix it."
His Royal Highness had already said so much.
Obviously, he did not want to disappoint Shien and lose a partner like Shien.
If he wanted to overthrow his father, overthrow Mo Luo, and ascend to the throne of the empire, Sean's help was indispensable to him.
If Shien was willing to stand on his side, it would be the same as having the support of the Demons and the Protoss. Perhaps he could even get the help of the Demonic Dragon and the strongest Evil God that was said to be comparable to the demon dwellers.
In this way, the throne was basically guaranteed.
Therefore, Harvey could only try his best to stabilize Shien and think of a way to make up for it.
Shien, however, knew that since this matter was related to the young demon dweller, it would be very difficult for Harvey to do anything.
"How about this." Shien thought for a moment and said, "Don't do anything rash. We will wait for a month."
"Wait for a month?" Harvey was surprised.
"Yes." Shien nodded and said, "I have something to do first. When I'm done, I will go with you to the Empire."
"Really?" Harvey's eyes lit up and said, "Are you willing to help me?"
"Whether or not to help you, I will decide later." Shien smiled and did not give any promises. He said, "But, our enemies are the same. If there is no conflict, I will definitely help."
"Okay." Harvey thought for a moment and finally nodded. He said, "Then I will find an excuse to stay in the capital and wait for a month."
In order to get Shien's help, Harvey did not mind stalling for a little time.
Moreover, he had blatantly made a move against the Lefferut family. If he returned to the Empire without getting Shien's help, he was afraid that he would immediately be targeted by Mara.
Under such circumstances, Harvey really did not want to go back.
Staying in the capital for the time being might be a good choice.
Shien also had his own plans.
This trip to the Empire should be a must.
But he did not know what was going on with Tierre. He also needed some time to study the ability of [Numerology], so it was better not to rush this matter.
When he was done with his own things, he would deal with this matter.
Shien made up his mind.
...
Thinking of what happened half a month ago, Shien felt that he could consider going to the Empire.
But before that …
"Did anything happen in the imperial capital in the past half a month?"
Shien asked Rosie.
