"Originally I didn't want to get involved in your child's affairs, but this time, my interests are involved."
Chi Sui raised his eyes with a smile, his tone gentle.
Atheran and the Dwarf King were both stunned when they heard Chi Sui's story about Lant and Lan Qiao being involved in a long-term false accusation against Aiyou and the parrot Cookie who heard him talking to a strange man in the house.
The Dwarf King stared blankly at Lant, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, then looked at Lan Qiao, who was standing next to him with a pale face, and suddenly fell silent for a long time.
After a long time, Arthuran stood up. His eyes were no longer as gentle as before. He squatted down and asked Lant: "Lant, my child, tell me, who is the man in my room?"
Lant trembled, and finally mustered up the courage, tears in his eyes: "Mother...that person...is Eric..."
The Dwarf King and Arthuran's faces changed drastically.
Zhu Xu stood beside him with a puzzled look on his face.
Chi Sui and Long Xi looked at each other, then lowered their eyes to look at Lant again.
"Lant, tell me, what is your relationship with Eric?"
The dwarf king walked down and looked down at Lant.
Lant wiped his tears and said, "I don't know. He came to me after the forging test this afternoon."
"I don't know why, but whenever I get close to him, my emotions become completely abnormal. His words seem to have magical power..."
"I couldn't help myself, I just..."
When Lant said this, his eyes were already filled with tears. He knelt down and kowtowed before Aseran and the Dwarf King. Soon, his forehead was covered with blood.
Lan Qiao pursed her lips and looked at the ground without saying a word.
Atheran frowned and murmured, "Could it be... Eric did it on purpose..."
He turned abruptly and looked at the Dwarf King with a serious expression: "How come he knows so much about the affairs between our royal descendants?"
Chi Sui lowered his eyes. It seemed that Arthuran thought that the reason why Rant did this was because Eric wanted to attack the stone, so the child was bewitched.
But………
Chi Sui's eyes were dark, was he really just bewitched?
Didn't the Dwarf King immediately respond to Arthuran's words? There was no expression on his face, nor any look of displeasure or anger.
"Lant, what's going on with falsely accusing Aiyou?"
Lan Qiao's body stiffened and her eyes flickered.
Actually, there was no conflict between Lant and Aiyou. It was her...she was annoyed with Aiyou...
"I……"
Lant opened his mouth, but noticed Lan Qiao's body trembling out of the corner of his eye. He lowered his eyes and said, "Ayou's forging skills are good, but she has a reckless personality. I... I don't like her... and I don't want her to get close to Lan Qiao, so..."
Atheran frowned: "Rant, you are a boy, how can you do such a thing to a girl?!"
Lan Qiao was stunned. She stared at Lant with wide eyes. Lant was kneeling on the ground, looking embarrassed and repentant.
Why did my brother take this matter upon himself?
That’s right…
Lan Qiao bit her lips tightly. Her brother must be afraid that she would tell others about his past, so he took the responsibility for her.
When Lan Qiao thought of this, she felt a chill down her spine.
The Dwarf King looked at Lant quietly, and suddenly said, "This is the first chance I'm giving you, Lant."
Lant's body froze. Before he could react, the Dwarf King looked at Zhuxu and said, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today."
Zhu Xu was stunned, and suddenly felt lost.
From what my father said, he doesn't want to let the news of what Lant did spread...
Even if Rand has been targeting me for a long time and tried to take possession of the important stone today, will my father still protect him?
Zhuxu's eyes felt very sore.
Arthuran didn't expect the Dwarf King to do this, but when he saw Lant's head was broken from kowtow, he felt a little soft-hearted.
"Don't worry, the position of crown prince will definitely be yours."
The Dwarf King patted Zhu Xu's shoulder and said in a more serious tone than ever before: "Tomorrow morning, I will issue the Crown Prince's edict."
Zhuxu lowered his eyes, not knowing whether he should be happy or not.
He forced a smile and left.
Then, the Dwarf King looked at Chi Sui and Long Xi.
"I will forge the sword. Lanter will be in solitary confinement starting today and will not cause trouble again."
Chi Sui frowned.
It seems that the Dwarf King really intends to cover up the case to the end.
Long Xi sneered: "If we hadn't been careful today and let Cookie keep an eye on your children, things wouldn't be so simple..."
"Five gold mines."
The Dwarf King interrupted Long Xi.
Long Xi was stunned. So smart?
Chi Sui put on a smile and said, "Okay, you guys are busy, we'll leave first!"
After saying that, she pulled Long Xi and left.
Next, the two of them turned left in unison and entered Lant's forging room.
When Chi Sui saw that the opened box was empty, his heart skipped a beat: "Eric's statue is gone."
Long Xi raised his eyes: "Cookie, what's going on?"
Cookie came out from under the table.
It flapped its wings, seeming puzzled: "The statue was taken away by some mysterious soldiers."
"Those soldiers are strong."
Chi Sui pinched its wings and asked, "You didn't catch up?"
Cookie shook his head: "They have something that can hide their aura..."
Chi Sui frowned: "Could it be Eric's follower?"
Long Xi shook his head thoughtfully: "It's the Dwarf King's people."
Chi Sui was stunned: "Is the Dwarf King Eric's man?"
If that's the case, the stone will be dangerous!
wrong……
Chi Sui frowned. If the Dwarf King wanted to attack the stone, would Eric still need to instruct Rand?
Long Xi frowned: "He shouldn't be Eric's man. I just don't know what he will do to the statue."
………………
Rand was put in solitary confinement, but there was no guard at the door.
He was kneeling in the room, looking into the corner in deep thought.
Lan Qiao was in her bedroom, fidgeting.
Atheran sat on a wooden chair, his eyes red. "I've always known that Lanter is very dedicated to forging, but I didn't expect that this dedication would lead him to be bewitched by Eric."
The Dwarf King remained silent. He poured the melted fossils into a mold that had been prepared in advance, with no expression on his face.
"Yor, I think simply confinement is unfair to both Zhuxu and Ayou. Your decision today..."
Atheran sighed, not knowing what to say next.
The Dwarf King looked at the sword gradually solidifying in the mold and said only one sentence: "Atheran."
Atheran turned around: "What's wrong?"
The Dwarf King looked at Aselan quietly, his tone no different from usual: "I'm going to go out for a while, please help me keep an eye on this thing and make sure nothing happens."
Arthuran quickly stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "I think we should teach Rand a lesson. Don't be so soft-hearted..."
When the Dwarf King pushed the door open and walked out, he paused and replied, "I will take care of this matter."
