About ten minutes later, Shien came out of Harvey's bedroom.
He did not rescue Harvey.
Because it was not necessary.
"If I go missing, the Queen's faction in the palace will definitely accuse me of absconding. When that time comes, I really will not be able to get rid of the charge of treason."
The prince had the same idea as Shien.
Therefore, Harvey would definitely not leave, or rather, he could not leave. He could not give the Queen's faction any chance to accuse him of treason.
And if he could not leave the palace, or even his bedroom, everything would have to be done by Shien alone.
"Help me bring a letter to Lockett."
Harvey did say so.
"With my order, Lockett should be able to support you with all his strength and help you deal with Mara."
Although the Bigusler Family was having a hard time fending for themselves, Lockett was still a Legendary powerhouse, and he could be considered a top-notch Legendary powerhouse. He would still be of great help.
Of course, to Sean, Lockett's battle prowess was of the dispensable type.
He really did not lack a legendary combat power.
Even if Ai Yi was no longer by his side, just Lilith alone was enough to take on who knew how many legendary experts. So, it did not matter if he had one more or one less. Naturally, it was not essential.
Obviously, Harvey had also thought of this. Therefore, in the end, in order to reach an agreement with Shien, he made a deal with Shien.
Thinking of that deal, Shien found it a little funny.
"He actually dared to use this kind of bargaining chip. This prince is really generous."
In order to seize the throne, His Highness was obviously ready to go all out.
According to him, as long as the throne was not seized, the empire would be under the control of the Poison Concubine Mara.
That was very dangerous.
Harvey was sure that if the empire could not get rid of that woman's control, it would be finished sooner or later.
In addition, his father, the emperor, had become so muddle-headed, and Shien was so special. In the end, Harvey decided to cooperate with Shien at all costs.
To be honest, Shien was not too interested in the bargaining chip he proposed.
However, he would deal with Mo Luo anyway. After he dealt with Mo Luo, he didn't want to clean up the mess on the Empire's side at all. In the end, it would still fall into Havves' hands, and Havves would take advantage of it and ascend to the throne that he wanted.
In that case, since Harvey had taken the initiative to propose, it would be a waste if he did not want it, right?
So, Shien readily agreed.
"There will be a good show to watch."
Shien touched the scroll and crystal in his arms. He suddenly smiled and disappeared in a flash.
He was going to leave the palace.
So, he had to find a certain young lady who was wandering in the palace.
...
"Is there any problem here?"
"No problem here."
"What about you?"
"I am.
"I am fine here as well."
In a corner of the palace, a group of patrolling knights were discussing the results of their patrol.
As they spoke in the courtyard, they did not notice that a female knight was hugging her knees and sitting in the shadows at the side. Her body was curled up into a ball, and she seemed to be autistic.
"Can't see me … Can't see me … Can't see me …"
The female knight buried her face in her knees as if she was trying to comfort herself. She wanted to cry but had no tears.
She had no choice.
"Aren't the patrols in the palace a little too tight tonight …!?"
Tilly was having a mental breakdown.
She was brought into the palace by Shien in the first place. It could be considered as an illegal infiltration.
Under such circumstances, Tilly naturally had to hide and not be discovered by anyone.
However, after the incident with Tierre, the security in the palace was much tighter than before. Coupled with the incident in the noble district today, the palace was in a state of extreme nervousness. The slightest movement could alert the patrolling knights.
In order to avoid the knights, Tilly had to hide here and there. However, she kept bumping into the patrolling knights.
Especially because of Shien, Tilly was already in a chilly state. She was stuck to the icy cold armor and every movement would cause intense friction. It was so painful that tears almost flowed out of her eyes.
As such, she had to hide here and there, playing hide-and-seek with the patrolling knights. One could imagine how devastated Tilly was.
"Sob sob sob …"
Tilly couldn't hold back her tears as she thought about it.
She didn't dare to cry out loud for fear of attracting the attention of the knights. All she could do was pucker her lips and sob silently in embarrassment.
Then …
"You can't take it anymore?"
A voice entered Tilly's ears.
"Seems like your mental endurance isn't that great."
Hearing that, Tilly's heart skipped a beat. She lifted her head abruptly and looked to her side.
There, a cloaked Shien had appeared out of nowhere. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned against the wall, looking down at her with a gloating expression.
"You … Sob sob sob …!"
Seeing that, Tilly's emotions exploded in her heart. She wanted to curse out loud but Shien covered her mouth fiercely.
"Do you want to die? How dare you shout in here? "
Shien raised a brow at Tilly with a smile.
Tilly could see the corner of Shien's mouth that was the only part that was exposed under his hood was curled into a ruminating smile. The rage in his eyes was almost spitting out.
In a fit of rage, Tilly opened her mouth and bit down hard on Shien's palm that was covering her mouth.
However, Tilly sadly discovered that she couldn't bite through it at all.
"Hehe." Shien laughed coldly. "Do you think you're some unscientific princess who can ignore resistance skills?"
With the protection of the [Rito Destiny], other than a certain unscientific princess, no one could pierce Sean's eye membrane, let alone bite him. Even if they were to stab at his eyeballs, they would not be able to pierce his eye membrane.
"Sob sob sob …!"
Tilly didn't seem to believe it. She bit recklessly, her saliva staining Shien's hand.
Shien's face was instantly filled with disdain.
"You're a girl, can't you have some manners?" Shien said pitifully. "Why are you a dog instead of being a human?"
Tilly was so angry that she almost fainted.
You're the dog!
Your whole family are dogs!
"Sob sob sob …! Sob sob sob …! "
Tilly could only dance around and bark with all her might.
Her bark was already a little loud.
If this went on, it was only a matter of time before she was discovered.
Hence, Shien squinted his eyes.
"If you bark again, do I have to teleport?" Shien said with a smile, "However, if you teleport this time, you might really lose everything, including your armor."
Tilly froze on the spot.
Cowardice finally appeared in his eyes, which were filled with anger.
Obviously, Shien's words had successfully frightened her.
Only then did Shien curl his lips. He released his hand from Tilly's mouth and before Tilly could react, he once again groped her body heavily.
"...!?"
Tilly let out a soundless scream.
This time, she didn't feel anger, only fear.
Because she thought that Shien was really going to make a move and teleport her armor away.
If that happened, there would really be nothing left on her body. She would be completely naked.
This caused Tilly to feel panic before she felt anger.
Unexpectedly, the feeling of the armor leaving her body didn't appear. Instead, the chilly feeling under her armor disappeared.
Tilly was stunned at first, but she quickly reacted.
"You … You put it back on?"
Tilly blurted out a sentence filled with ambiguity.
"Yeah, I put it back on for you." Sean didn't know if he didn't notice it or he didn't care. He said casually, "There are only two people in this world who have enjoyed such treatment. The other one ran away before I woke up, so you're the third. How about it? Is it good for you? "
Thank you very much!
Tilly almost drew her sword out of anger.
If not for the fact that she was afraid that Sean would really do anything and teleport his armor away, Tilly would definitely have drawn her sword.
Even if she couldn't beat Shien, she had to draw her sword. She had to!
"Calm down … Calm down …"
All Tilly could do was take deep breaths to adjust her emotions.
"Don't mind it … Don't mind it … It's just a prank from an old fart who knows how much older than me … Don't mind it …"
Tilly comforted herself.
However, her words were heard by Shien.
"Old fart?" Shien glanced over at Tilly and said casually, "Don't simply slander me. I'm just a young lad in his early twenties, which eye of yours can tell I'm an old fart?"
Tilly was stunned when the words were uttered.
A young lad in his early twenties …?
"Impossible!"
Tilly blurted out almost out of reflex.
"Why is it impossible?"
Shien countered with a question.
"You … You can even repel a top legendary powerhouse and annihilate Lefferut Family, how can you be in your early twenties?"
Tilly denied everything.
If Shien was only in his early twenties, wouldn't he be younger than her?
Tilly was 24 years old this year and only level 73. A person younger than her could repel a legendary powerhouse and annihilate Lefferut Family?
What a joke!
Looking at Tilly's disbelieving face, Shien wanted to say something.
"You don't know anything about power, sister." Shien was still smiling as he said, "If you don't believe me, why don't you go back and ask that father of yours?"
After saying that, Shien didn't give Tilly a chance to comment further. He extended his hand and placed it on her shoulder.
Swoosh!
In the next second, both of them disappeared on the spot.
Tilly felt her vision blur. When her vision recovered, she was back at the square in front of the palace.
In other words, they had left the palace.
"Alright, let's go back." Shien yawned and said, "I'm so tired. Let's go back and sleep, there's still a lot of things to do tomorrow."
After saying that, Shien left.
It was only then that Tilly came to her senses and hurriedly followed.
Tilly's heart was pounding as she looked at Shien's back.
"A legendary powerhouse in his early twenties …"
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
In this world, it was impossible for such a monster to exist.
One should know that even the Valkyrie, whose talent was almost on par with the kingdom's treasure, was only level 70 at the age of 17. Even when she was 20, it was impossible for her to reach level 90 and above.
The kingdom's treasure was the same, right?
So …
"I won't believe it."
As she said that, a seed was planted in Tilly's heart.
A seed of curiosity about Sean's appearance, Sean's origin, and Sean's real age.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously.
However, this night was not going to be peaceful.
This night was not going to be peaceful.
