Inside the Xerxes Palace, Frelia kept walking back and forth and couldn't help but look outside again.
Why hasn’t he come back yet? I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Soldiers kept coming to ask about Sean's situation, saying that something seemed to have happened outside... In the deep palace of the imperial city, one could hardly see much of what was happening in the outer city, but one could only hear soldiers coming over. However, Frelia kept stopping them all on the pretext that Prince Sean had already gone to bed.
It's okay if there are only a few people, but if more people come, Sean would have to come out. At least if he didn't wake up in such a big noise, it would arouse other people's suspicion.
After all, he is the Desert Prince, so Frelia is not worried that something will happen to him outside. The key point is that if he is discovered, it will be difficult to deal with, and it will easily lead to gossip. Moreover, a major incident of prison fire occurred in the capital of Xerxes a few days ago.
After wandering for a few steps at the door, he heard footsteps coming from a distance.
Frelia quickly changed her expression and walked quickly into the house...
There are no doors that can be closed at the entrance of the rooms in the palace, but there are curtains and screens that can be used to cover the rooms. Pulling them closed means that the people inside have gone to rest!
Listen to the soldiers walk outside the door and then stop.
A little softer this time...
He slowly approached before speaking slowly.
"Is His Royal Highness here?"
"Your Highness..."
Deliberately making footsteps, Frelia slowly opened the curtain and stuck her head out. In order to pretend that she had just fallen asleep, her expression was a little sleepy, and she put on several layers of clothes and let her hair down. Her impressive figure made the generals dare not look at her, but they could not help but look... The biggest requirement for the guards in the palace is to communicate less, but there will still be communication in private. They had heard that the desert prince was accompanied by two extremely beautiful witches, both of whom were of very high level.
I've heard about it privately, but I finally believed it after seeing it today.
She is indeed the Prince of the Desert, otherwise ordinary people wouldn’t even have the chance to come into contact with such a woman!
"What's up?"
"Oh, Madam Witch. We just received news that someone sent out a distress signal in the city. The captain of the guard is worried that it was done by those people a few days ago, so he asked us to come quickly to protect His Royal Highness the Prince." The soldier said and looked at another room, which had been empty all the time. He heard that the two witches came, but why was there no response as if no one lived next door.
Hey~ I secretly sighed that the prince is in good health!
"Thank the captain of the guard for me, but His Royal Highness the Prince has already gone to bed. Do you want me to call him over?"
"No need..." the sergeant said hurriedly.
"It would be our dereliction of duty if we disturb His Royal Highness the Prince. We can just guard the door." After saying that, he led the soldiers to double the number of troops nearby.
In order not to disturb the people in the house, she even walked a little further outside. However, the number of soldiers in the yard had obviously increased, which made Frelia frown...
If Sean comes back, how will he get in?
When he pulled the curtain and turned around, he saw Sean and Lucille appear in the room. The window opposite was open, and the two should have come from that side.
"You are finally back."
The two sides looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.
"Did you just wake up?" Sean was curious about Frelia's appearance at the moment. Her hair was loose and she was dressed casually, as if she had just woken up.
"Someone is looking for you outside. Is there something wrong over there?"
Frelia was curious about Sean's appearance at the moment. Anyone could see that his clothes had obvious signs of battle. There were obvious holes in his clothes, and the hidden blade on his wrist, which he always called his classic weapon, was also bent in half!
"It's a long story..."
Sean and Lucille finally came back from the library, and the things here were considered completed. The only one left was Rachel.
Lucille happened to have a good relationship with the other party, and after just fighting with him, Lucille also wanted to be alone, so she returned to her room without saying a few words...
"Your mentor looks troubled." Frelia said, looking at him.
He let out a long sigh.
"Maybe it's a knot in your heart!"
It's already early morning. Looking at the sky outside, it seems that there are only more than two hours left until dawn. I have basically been fighting for the manuscript all night. The final result is a mixture of joy and sorrow.
"What's the matter? Why don't you take a rest for a while."
Perhaps seeing that Sean was indeed tired, Frelia did not rush to ask any further questions, but instead asked him to sit on the bed.
Gently rubbing his head, letting Sean relax his body...
I felt the fatigue in my body dissipate a lot in an instant. I leaned back and felt a warm feeling that made me feel at ease.
"I didn't expect that the person behind all this was the Great Alchemist Rachel."
"What?!!"
Sean said slowly, telling Frelia what happened in the library and Rachel's personal story. Just treat it as a story. There must be an audience...
"So the great alchemist that day deliberately let Lucille get half of the manuscript, and then bet that you would go find the other half? By the way, how did you know?" For a period of time, Frelia knew Sean's life very well, especially during the time when he was in Koga City and as the Earl. If he knew any secrets, he would have told her at that time and would not suddenly reveal the secret here.
"Actually, I also heard about it from the Sun King during the Jagun incident, but it was more from the diary left by my mother at that time. Twenty years ago, she came to the Imperial City of Xerxes and participated in the battle of the previous generation of omniscient beings. She wrote about the ancient gods in her diary at that time..." There was still a mixture of truth and lies.
The only thing he couldn't say was that he had crossed the timeline. Otherwise, not only would the power of the ancient gods be exposed, but many other things would be implicated, including the confusion in his relationship with Lucille.
"I see... No wonder the Grand Alchemist looked at you in such a strange way when I first met her."
"Hmm? What's so special about it?" I had never heard Frelia say that before.
"It was like seeing an acquaintance I hadn't seen in years. Later, she said she had seen your mother, so I thought it was because you and your mother looked alike. Now that I think about it, she must have thought of this incident at that time."
"...So what happened next? You guys came back, and the Grand Alchemist was still in the library?"
"Um."
Sean didn't know what would happen next. After this incident, would Rachel be deeply shocked and unable to recover, or would she be able to let it go generously, or would she not believe what she said and still summon the black goat cub?
Either scenario is possible...
"It's a pity indeed."
