"Arthur!"
Li Aili angrily shouted his name.
The man froze.
Li Aili looked around; there was no one else there.
Why did you come at this time?
She understood after a moment's thought: the timing of the man's appearance, and the fact that he targeted Augustus from the start...
"My shadow...is it?"
Arthur did not speak.
Li Aili was so angry she felt a tightness in her chest. "She was pointing in the direction of Constantinople, and you..."
The word lingered in his mouth, but what he finally said was, "Please leave, now, immediately!"
Arthur stared at her blankly, something slowly crumbling in his blue eyes.
For the first time, Ellie hardened her heart and said, "I'll say it one more time, please leave now."
"And those in the shadows... take them with you!"
“Arthur, I don’t need to live under your surveillance.”
Arthur raised his hand, "But Ellie, they were only trying to protect you..."
Li Aili pointed at Augustus, who seemed to realize something, and asked, "Did you really just use them to protect me?"
Arthur: "..."
Arthur reached out his hand.
A dark cloud drifted by, obscuring the moonlight.
Li Aili didn't see that the man's hands were trembling.
He stormed into the Papal Court without a trace of fear, but now, merely retrieving a Shadow Demon, he can't help but tremble.
It felt as if someone was ripping out their own heart with a dagger.
As the dark clouds drifted by, Li Aili only saw the man with one hand behind his back.
Her eyes were slightly red.
Just as Li Aili was about to take a closer look, Arthur turned around, tore open a portal, and left.
Augustus approached cautiously. "Is he... your ex-husband?"
Li Aili really wasn't in the mood to deal with him.
"Yes, and I don't plan to start a new relationship."
"Also, I don't want to take on any new Guardian Knights for the time being. It's getting late, goodbye."
After saying that, she turned and left, until her figure disappeared through the city gate.
...
Back to the capital.
Arthur emerged from the portal, flanked by knights clad in dark mithril armor.
No one dared to look directly at Clark, the uncrowned king.
Arthur strode toward Conference Room Number Three at Clark Palace.
Before the waiter standing guard at the door could do anything, Arthur pushed the door open forcefully.
With a "bang," the phoenix wood door slammed against the wall and then bounced back.
The people who had been standing in a circle around the war sand table all turned around.
Fisheron raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at his 'brother-in-law'—oh, I mean 'former brother-in-law'—who looked like he'd swallowed a dynamite.
The handsome man standing in the center of the sand table smiled slightly.
The lich Albert spoke kindly, "My dear brother, what's wrong with you?"
Arthur walked up to the sand table.
Just as he left, everyone was still discussing the first 'breakthrough point'.
Arthur pulled up the military flag and planted it directly in the Saint Nichkhun Empire.
The room was deathly silent.
Albert looked at the military flag flying over the capital of Saint Nicholas.
Could you please explain the strategic significance of this step?
"Your Highness Arthur the Holy Dragon?"
Arthur looked up, his eyes gradually turning blood red.
He suppressed his simmering anger and said, word by word, "It has no strategic significance."
"I just want it to be the first to die!"
With a series of teeth-grinding bone-crunching sounds, a palm-sized dragon lich crawled from Albert's back onto his shoulder.
"I bet he went to see Ellie." The dragon lich's mouth opened and closed, his tone slightly teasing.
"Hey? Arthur, did someone in Saint Nichkhun offend you?"
Albert looked at Arthur expressionlessly, waiting for an answer.
Behind Albert was Victoria, who was wearing a red dress.
She clapped her hands and said, "Oh dear, is everyone hungry?"
"How about I go get some snacks?"
"Take a rest, darling~" Victoria hugged Albert's arm and rubbed her soft cheek against him.
"After all, most people here are not immortals."
Albert sighed softly.
"Ten-minute break."
With that, he took the lead and walked into the inner room of the conference room.
Fisheranki walked over to Arthur and nudged him with his elbow. "Come on, want to talk?"
Arthur, his face grim, strode out.
People outside gradually left.
Inside, Albert stood by the window, raising his hand to tease the dragon lich on his shoulder.
"Ellie had a huge influence on him."
The dragon lich, formerly known as Gilmanoa, the Chosen Lord, rubbed Albert's fingers with pleasure.
Albert looked down at his younger brother as he walked out of the palace.
“Gilmanoa”.
The dragon lich turned its head and listened attentively.
"I'm so glad he's still alive."
"But I'm also very sorry."
The reflection in the window showed the man's handsome face gradually decaying, eventually transforming into a white-haired lich.
The fire of his soul flickered in his eyes.
Albert reached out and opened the window, saying in a completely emotionless voice, "Take her back."
The flames in the dragon lich's eye sockets flickered violently.
Gilmanoa spread his bone wings and flew into the sky.
Soon, it disappeared into the dark clouds in the sky.
A bolt of blue lightning struck down.
For a fleeting moment, the clouds seemed to be illuminated.
Looking up from below, it seems as if you can see a huge dragon skeleton flying above the dark clouds and sea of clouds.
...
After returning home, Li Aili was furious and upset.
