Chapter 119 A man decides to kneel as part of a plan…

Maan Palace.

Eva, wearing a maid's dress, cooperated tacitly with the maid beside her, trying to make her movements as light as possible as they added new charcoal to the fireplace in this room whose decoration was obviously more exquisite than other rooms.

Ever since she was rescued by Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess that day, she has been here. Life here is much better than before.

Before she walked out of the room, she glanced at Avril, who was standing in front of the bed, looking down at the sleeping woman.

I heard that the person on the bed is the king's third daughter, Princess Yolanda. She has been sleeping for seven years. Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess moved out of the palace six years ago and has taken care of her for six years. As for why Princess Yolanda is sleeping, no one knows, and the people in Maan Palace never say much.

The door was gently closed. Avril quietly lowered her head, staring at the peacefully sleeping woman in front of her. Compared with all the king's daughters, she looked the most ordinary one.

Although her mother was of noble birth, she was also a fallen aristocrat, a poor woman who was forced into a relationship by the king when he was on tour. It was said that she had just been married to her husband for a month.

Yolanda has actually been sleeping for twelve years.

Yolanda was one of the subjects in that secret human transformation experiment. In addition to countless children of commoners, both boys and girls, all the king's princesses had to become experimental subjects, whether they were children of nobles, commoners, or slaves.

In this experiment, only Yolanda, Gina who escaped, and her survived.

Avril reached out to the cabinet on the left, took out a plain box, and opened it.

His calm eyes finally moved away from Yolanda and fell on the sapphire necklace in the box.

The necklace that Vifiya asked for was very successful, and the plan can finally proceed.

She closed the box. It was time to go see Sohai, her uncle, the king's brother.

The purple eyes did not change, and they fell on Yolanda again: "Your plan will not fail."

"See you later, Yolanda."

Avril left without looking back, and the woman on the bed remained quiet, just like she had been in the past when she was sleeping.

"Your Highness, there is a knight outside the palace gate requesting an audience."

Having just returned to the study and put the necklace box away, Avril turned around.

A knight? She walked over to her desk where she usually worked and sat down. "Let him come."

"Yes." The attendant replied.

Avril casually took out a blank piece of parchment and began to write a letter.

Few knights came to her on their own initiative, and she wanted to know what was going on.

However, the person who came was beyond her expectations.

She raised her head, her eyes indifferent. It was the young knight from the palace guard. With his age and qualifications, if he were not a commoner, he would not be excluded by the minor nobles there.

If he was unable to bear the harassment and wanted to find a nobleman as a backer, it was obvious that his choice was stupid. Everyone knew that although she seemed to be leading the army outside, she actually had no military power. How could the king allow her to have military power?

If she hadn't been the only successful experiment, her remains would now be used as nutrients in the palace garden.

The king didn't even know how many times he had the urge to kill Yolanda, who was in deep sleep.

but……

The man's face was calm, and he hid his emotions deeply, but Avril could still sense a deep sense of defeat in him, a grief that he was unwilling to express...

She was very familiar with such emotions. During the years she was a test subject, she had witnessed the pain and despair of many people...

Living and dying are no longer a choice; they are even deprived of the right to choose death...

Like, this person now.

She could so easily sense his desire for death, but for some reason, he was not allowed to die.

Despite this, she was unable to generate strong emotions due to years of experimentation, and at this moment, just like she had been for the past thirteen years, there was not a single ripple in her heart.

The man in front of her was kneeling down to her, and she finally looked sideways.

Although there are many unreasonable things in Iscana, there is one rule that has never changed for knights, whether commoners or nobles - they are allowed to kneel on one knee to salute.

The young knight knelt on his knees, his back no longer straight as before, his head lowered, and he said, "Please help me."

——

"I said, you guys go back by yourselves, I won't go back!"

Kaharun's voice was heard from the room, with a rare sound of impatience and coldness. Isidore paused outside the door as he was about to open it, and Vifiya and Arnold behind him also obviously heard the voice.

North glanced at Vifiya and the others, and immediately said, "I'm going to the market to buy some spices for tonight." After getting Vifiya's consent, she turned and went to the market not far from here.

Isidore didn't hesitate and opened the door.

"Click." The sound of the door lock fell, and everyone inside couldn't help but be attracted by it.

The chubby old man smiled, with two young servants standing behind him. His eyes passed over Isidore and Arnold and fell directly on Vifia's face. He turned sideways and bowed to her: "Good day, Your Excellency the Marquis." After saying that, he turned his attention back to Kaharun.

Vifiya's expression did not change. She felt that the fat old man looked familiar at first sight. She remembered the identity of the man without having to search his mind carefully.

The owner of a shop that was all the rage in Lachigo and made some bizarre food, and the academy happened to be holding a hunting party at the time, and they invited her to dine with them, and it was there that she and Avril had their unusual first meeting.

She observed the few people calmly. It turned out that it was an illusion that she thought the store owner looked at Kaharun differently.

Seeing them return, Kaharun's expression became even uglier. The coldness and warning remained on his face: "Go back and tell that woman to stop plotting against me. Also, don't try to use that excuse to get me to come back. It's useless."

The fat old man was still smiling, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have smoothed out a little: "Young Master, the last time you came home was three years ago. You know, it was because the master missed you that the mistress sent me here."

Without waiting for Kaharun to speak, as if not noticing his increasingly unsightly expression, she continued, "It's just right that Madam is personally leading the merchant group to Iskandar this time, and the young master is also here. The young master has often missed you and hopes to meet you."

Kaharun stared at him coldly: "You talk too much."

"Yes, young master." The fat old man bowed his head and apologized. Looking up, he saw that he looked a bit aristocratic. "We will not disturb you. Please be sure to meet with the young master when you are free."

The fat old man brought two attendants with him. He saluted Vifia again and said, "I am Chado from the Lemo Merchant Group. Our lady admires the Marquis very much and hopes to have the opportunity to formally meet with him."

Vifiya did not express her opinion, but just nodded lightly without saying a word.

Kaharun frowned and said nothing until the fat old man and his servants left, and fatigue finally appeared on his face.

He stroked his forehead with his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. When he raised his eyes again, Vifiya and the others had already walked up to him.

Vifia and Arnold did not hide their worry, and Kaharun couldn't help but linger for a few more seconds.

"Are they bothering you again?" Isidore asked.

"Ah." Kaharun came back to his senses. Isidore's expression was the same as before. He just asked simply, and he answered, "Yes."

"How did they find your whereabouts?" Isidore lowered his eyes and thought. He remembered the fat old man. "Were you targeted last time in Lachigo?"

"Is that so?" Kaharun was perfunctory, which was unusual for him. He hadn't expected that this fat old man would be a member of the merchant group. If he had known, he would never have gone there to eat.

He now feels like he has moved a stone and hit his foot.

“Pah.”

The door opened again and everyone looked over. This time it was Osa.

Seeing everyone standing together, Osa confirmed her suspicions. She closed the door and walked forward, saying, "When I came back, I saw the Lemo Caravan's car leaving our area..." Her gaze swept across everyone, and her observing eyes finally stopped on Kaharun, "Are you in trouble?"

Kaharun turned his head away: "It's not a big deal." He paused and said, "Why are you all standing? Let's sit down and talk."

Before sitting down, Isidore naturally snapped his fingers and cast a soundproofing spell and a warning spell around the house. After all, there were some things that North could not know.

Vifiya sat down. As far as she knew, the Lemo Merchant Group was the largest merchant group in Ulucia, and its biggest boss behind the scenes was the Cooper family. If the previous information was correct, this merchant group also had the support of the Ulucia royal family. After all, Cooper did have a little bit of royal blood. So, Kaharun...

"Do you need help?" Vifiya asked. Although most of her things were in the Segarot Empire, there were still many things that were feasible for her now. If Kaharun needed external help, she could still do it.

She looked at Kaharun, whose last name was Aiken, not Cooper…

Osa nodded and said in agreement, "That's fine with me. The Emperor has given me a lot of authority this time. I can still mobilize my family's merchant group here." After thinking for a moment, she continued, "The Duke's merchant group and the Lemo merchant group have some cooperation. They won't give us any face."

After all, they are two of the best business groups, so it is normal for them to cooperate.

Isidore and Arnold didn't say anything, just looked at him, but they both meant the same thing.

Kaharun didn't say anything for a moment, feeling mixed emotions, and he lowered his head.

In the past, when he was nearly dying, he was saved by Mrs. Adenas. Later, he met Salis, who said he had magical talent and asked him if he would like to become a magician. He originally thought she was just a kid trying to trick him. Anyway, no matter what, his life would not be bad anymore, so he held Salis's hand.

There he meets Isidore, a deviant man.

He and Lady Salis...

He had them before, and now, when he looked up, there were a few more, which seemed not bad.

He shook his head, his expression visibly relaxed: "It's okay, it's not the first or second time."

After a pause, he thought of something, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't think I have told you about myself yet. My family... is a bit complicated."
