Chapter 150: The Shy Princess (Two in One)
Up to now, although there have been some minor twists and turns, the general direction of things has been within my expectations.
In the car, looking out the window at the street scene rapidly passing by, Lin En thought silently.
After leaving the banquet hall of the Royal Academy of Supernatural Sciences, this group of unknown knights took him, Fourth Prince Eunice and others into three carriages, and then galloped towards the palace area without saying a word.
At this moment, Eleanor was hugging his arms tightly, her petite body pressed against his, hugging him like a clinging octopus.
Not only that, the little girl also pressed her face tightly against his chest, sucking in the scent from his body.
It was as if making up for the family affection that was missing over the past year.
But why do I always feel that this family relationship has become a little sour?
I don't know if this little girl is too insecure or what, but she seems to want to rub herself into his body.
Not only that, she even stroked his chest back and forth, as if to confirm whether the brother in front of her was really alive in this world.
After pulling Eleanor's cold and delicate little hands out from under her clothes for the umpteenth time, Lin En said helplessly: "Eleanor, your brother is here, don't be afraid."
Hearing this, Eleanor raised her little head and stared at the boy in front of her with her red eyes.
"I always feel like my brother has changed a lot." After a long silence, she spoke softly, "Do you still remember what happened between us?"
Hearing this, Lin En's heart tightened.
Of course he had the memory, and after coming back, he dealt with the matter swiftly and decisively without changing the original character too much.
However, even so, Eleanor somehow managed to notice something.
But of course he couldn't be shaken by such a thing, so he touched Eleanor's little head and asked, "What do you mean?"
"For example, a little naughty kid always likes to secretly pee in his pants, and every time he pretends to cry and calls his brother to help change his underwear?"
Although the carriage was very dark, Eleanor's little face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She hummed, then gently put her little face on Lin En's shoulder.
After a long time, a soft moan was heard in the carriage, not sure whether it was out of shame or anger, or relief.
"Brother. Pervert."
Compared to the city of Orne, the imperial capital is undoubtedly countless times larger and more prosperous.
In general, the entire Grosstin is divided into three areas: the palace area, the upper town area and the lower town area.
The class divisions are clear, and even the divisions of urban areas are reflected in this way.
Each area is divided into four major regions: east, south, west and north. They are interconnected and guard the emperor's palace in the center, as well as the sacred wonders unique to the Saint Laurent Empire.
Looking out through the car window, I saw a slender yet tall towering tree in the distant city center, standing at the end of the sky and earth with lush branches and leaves. The only way to take in its full view was to look up.
It is bronze in color all over, while the branches and leaves above appear a sacred and noble golden color under the moonlight.
The faint glow illuminated the otherwise gloomy night, bringing a touch of mystery to the imperial capital of Glostin.
The Tree of the Holy Spirit, also known as the Holy Oak, has unknown origins. It was planted by the first Emperor Saint Laurent himself and seems to have the magical power to protect the imperial capital.
The reason why the Saint Laurent Empire is called the Kingdom of the Holy Tree is precisely because of this wonder.
In addition to the Saint Laurent Empire, the surrounding empires also have their own unique wonders.
For example, Tutankhamun, the "Land of Dust and Sand", a country adjacent to the Saint Laurent Empire, is famous for its giant triangular mysterious tomb. It is said that the coffin buried in it contains the remains of a god.
Staring at the golden tree that seemed to reach from heaven to earth, Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly.
Having read the original novel, he knew very well the value of the wonders and great things these countries possessed.
If the card of Pines in his hand contained one fifty-fourth of the ways to become a god, then the Holy Spirit Tree in front of him symbolized the other one.
Although it is also in tatters and has some missing parts, it is much more complete than the playing cards.
He would like to observe the tree closely.
However, this thing has the characteristics of a large seal and does not conform to the principles of perspective.
Only those chosen by it can approach this tree.
Otherwise, no matter how hard you try, even if you travel across the entire imperial capital, you will never be able to get close to it. You will only see it standing not far away at the end of heaven and earth.
Just as Lin En was lost in thought, the carriage slowly stopped.
He looked up subconsciously, and then saw an ancient, majestic giant building appear before his eyes.
The dome is arched as a whole. The totems of major families are carved on the top of the square building, guarding the emblem of the Saint Laurent royal family in the center, as if symbolizing the power system of this country.
Lynn even saw the Snow Eagle Totem of the Mosgra family and the Bull Totem of the Batleon family.
This is the Empire's council hall. The Empire State Building standing behind it is the power center of the entire country and also the headquarters of the Executive Council.
After a moment, several knights in armor slowly opened the car door.
“Get out of the car immediately!”
Their tone was a little rough.
Obviously, this indicated that what he was about to face was not a gentle social occasion, but a Hongmen Banquet with hidden swords.
Lynn narrowed her eyes but did not argue, helping Eleanor out of the carriage.
At this moment, the little girl has completely turned into her brother's sticky candy, hugging his waist tightly, with her little face hidden behind him.
Eunice and the fourth prince Joshua had already gone in earlier, and now they were probably the first to complain.
But Lin En was not panicked, this was exactly the effect he wanted.
As the door was slowly pushed open, pale golden light reflected on Lynn's face.
And countless glances cast at the sound.
The moment the relief door of the council hall was pushed open, Yvesette subconsciously turned her head to look.
When the familiar figure came into view, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.
Although it was only a few hours since they last met, to her it felt like a very long time had passed.
She wanted to throw herself into Lin En's arms and greedily suck in the cute scent of her own puppy. Hmm? The next second, her expression froze on her face.
The boy in front of him was indeed his cute little dog, but he looked a little different from usual.
At this moment, there was a slender and petite girl, hugging his waist tightly, hiding timidly behind him, with a pure look that made me feel pity for her.
Looking at the petite figure hugging Lynn tightly, a feeling of anger and jealousy as if her exclusive rights had been taken away surged in her heart.
How long has it been since she returned to the capital? She already has a future with that bitch who makes her very unhappy, but she is still not satisfied and finds another one in just a few hours? So you like this kind of petite type? This princess is wrong.
It didn't go according to your wishes and become what you like.
Very good, very good.
Yvesette gritted her teeth, and an unprecedented gloom appeared in her bright red eyes.
In an instant, a strong murderous intent descended upon the entire place as if it were real!
Everyone felt as if the temperature around them had dropped a lot. They subconsciously hugged their arms and shivered.
The Silver Wing Knights and powerful masters with keen sense of smell such as Xia immediately became alert and looked in the direction of Ivester.
Obviously, everyone has a strong fear of the Third Princess, who is as powerful as a monster.
Although a sixth-rank demigod was not enough to dominate the Saint Roland Empire, it was extremely easy for him to kill all the minions present in an instant.
They didn't understand what kind of catastrophe had happened to make this monster princess have such terrible murderous intent.
Realizing that Her Royal Highness was on the verge of exploding mentally, Lin En took a deep breath.
Not far behind Ivester, Graya had a solemn expression and gave her a helpless look.
Even Afia looked over.
But after seeing Eleanor's figure, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, snorted, and then looked away.
It was obvious that these women showed unprecedented rejection of this uninvited guest who had a close relationship with Lynn.
Eleanor's body was shaking more visibly.
At this moment, Saint Laurent VI, from the high platform in the distance, cast a condescending gaze.
There was majesty and scrutiny in those eyes, and ordinary people would be frightened to their knees at just one glance.
After a moment, the earl in charge of delivering the message said loudly: "Your Majesty summons Lynn Bartleron to come forward and speak!"
Hearing this, Lynn gently patted Eleanor's little hand.
However, this action was too intimate and attracted Yvesette's sharp gaze.
The surrounding temperature dropped several degrees again.
Sensing the panic coming from the girl behind him, Lynn whispered, "Don't be afraid, Eleanor, remember what your brother told you in the carriage."
"As long as you can gain the approval of His Highness, no one can touch you."
He had never mentioned his family affairs to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The reason is simple.
Eleanor is a woman.
Although Lynn believed that the two parties were related by blood and therefore nothing would happen, Yvesette's personality would definitely make her think too much.
Therefore, it was the first time that Eleanor appeared in the sight of Yvesette and others.
However, Lin En did not think this was a big deal. After all, the two sides would meet sooner or later.
Feeling that Eleanor was still reluctant to let go, Lynn couldn't help but sigh.
"Be good, His Majesty is calling me, I'll go over first."
As he spoke, he gently broke free from Eleanor's arms, ignored the familiar or unfamiliar faces around him, and walked forward calmly.
At this moment, the Fourth Prince Joshua was already standing beside the First Princess Hillelina and others, looking at him leisurely as if nothing had happened, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Eunice, with red eyes, lifted her skirt and stood beside an old man in military uniform, sobbing softly.
Feeling the old man's sharp eyes like an eagle, Lin En understood.
This guy is the current head of the Mosguera family, Marquis Fred Mosguera, who is also the acting Minister of Military and Political Affairs.
He used to be a close friend of his father, but he stabbed him in the back at a critical moment and took the opportunity to get promoted.
As a nobleman who has gained great reputation in the imperial capital in recent years, he was also invited to attend the awarding ceremony, and at this moment he was looking at Lin En with a gloomy look.
Obviously, he had heard about everything that had just happened in the Royal Super Academy.
Marquis Fred had not expected that the son of Bartleon, who had already fallen into poverty, would still have the energy to suddenly attack and bite the Mosgra family hard.
But he really didn't see any hope for this guy to turn the tables.
The next second, accompanied by a majestic and deep voice coming from top to bottom, an invisible force instantly spread throughout the entire conference hall, causing everyone's hearts to emerge with awe from the bottom of their hearts.
"Lynn Bartletleon, do you admit your guilt?"
What should I do? What should I do? ! ! It's so scary, so scary, so scary! ! ! After being left alone, most people's eyes were attracted by her brother, and only a few eyes stayed on her.
Eleanor trembled and lowered her head so that no one could see her appearance or expression.
At this moment, just standing there is already taking all the effort.
She was afraid that in the next second, she would be torn to pieces by the murderous eyes not far away.
However, thinking back to what her brother had said in the carriage and the determined look in his eyes when he left, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Believe me, brother, he will never lie to me.
As long as I can gain the favor and favour of that prince, I will have completed the task assigned to me by my brother.
But how can I win her favor? My brother did not mention the specific details. When he talked about this topic, his face was a little embarrassed, as if there was some shame that he didn't want to recall.
Although Eleanor was full of confusion, she just regarded it as a test he set for her.
My heart was pounding.
However, at this moment, the girl from the Bartleon family gradually calmed down.
"come over."
Suddenly, a cold call came to her ears.
Eleanor's body trembled, she thought about it, but finally did not disobey the other party's order.
So she walked slowly towards the direction where Her Royal Highness the Princess was.
Thinking about it carefully, why does this scene always feel a bit like a mistress who is not in the spotlight is caught by the wife on the spot? Eleanor has a hard time.
But her mind was still racing.
Although it was only the first time we met, for some reason, the initial favorability of me in the eyes of this princess was very low.
His brother was trusted by His Highness, but she, as a younger sister, was hated? Why? Eleanor seemed to have a guess.
At this moment, she activated her clever little brain that had been influenced by countless love literature.
If Lin En knew what this little girl was thinking at the moment, he would probably break out in a cold sweat and lament how the women around him were so imaginative.
In fact, if Eleanor wanted to gain the favor of His Highness, she only needed to tell them that she was Lynn's sister.
After knowing this, Her Royal Highness will naturally treat her as one of her own.
Unfortunately, Eleanor's thoughts at this moment were like a wild horse running away.
The only possibility that can make a woman hate another woman for no reason is a misunderstanding caused by a man!
All of a sudden, Eleanor seemed to have found the crux of the matter.
At the same time, a hint of shock flashed in her eyes.
Could it be that this noble prince has a crush on her brother? !
Because she could not get the love she wanted and the huge gap in their status, she, as a princess, could only bury the pain and bitterness of love deep in her heart, unable to relieve it. Just looking at him from afar every day made her feel extremely happy.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Who made his brother so outstanding? If they were not related by blood, even Eleanor would not be able to help but say, "No, I am getting off topic!"
Quickly, quickly think about it, what can I have that can attract the recognition and favor of Her Royal Highness? Apart from this face that is very similar to my brother, there is only one thing left.
Her identity.
Thinking of this, Eleanor, who had slowly walked in front of Yvesette, had an idea in her mind.
Feeling the different looks from the people around Her Royal Highness, her heart was pounding.
But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back.
The next second, under everyone's gaze, Eleanor slowly raised her head, revealing her appearance to these people for the first time.
At the same time, she opened her pink lips slightly and spoke in a low voice timidly.
"Sister-in-law?"
This sudden call made the two brothers Graya and Morris stunned for a moment.
If Lin En were present right now, he would have probably fainted from anger.
I'm asking you to gain her approval, but I'm not asking you to approve this thing as well!
I was already having a headache because of the princess's excessive love, and now things are getting out of control.
She is worthy of being a woman from the Bartlion family.
Brother Keng is good at this.
Unfortunately, Eleanor didn't know at the moment how her brother might react after knowing this.
She believes she made the right choice.
And in fact, from Iviste's perspective, this is indeed the case.
Looking at the pitiful girl's tearful appearance and her delicate face that was extremely similar to Lin En, for some reason, Yvesette felt that the anger and murderous intent in her heart suddenly disappeared.
She, she calls me sister-in-law?
At this moment, such thoughts echoed in my mind and could not be erased for a long time.
Although she had publicly called Lin En her future husband, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it didn't count.
Even though she had such thoughts in her mind, Yvesette knew very well that Lynn himself did not accept such an identity.
After all, the Witch of the End still exists in his heart.
As long as that bitch stood between them, it would be difficult for her to turn this wish into reality.
So it was more of a unilateral trick she used to assert her sovereignty in front of everyone.
But now, the title that Eleanor took the initiative to propose has a slightly different meaning.
As Lin En's biological sister, there is an unbreakable blood relationship between them.
With the recognition of the family, the solidity of this relationship is further confirmed.
In addition, this was the first time she received recognition from Lynn's family.
The atmosphere fell into an inexplicable silence for a moment.
After a while, a faint blush appeared on Yviste's fair face.
It is so beautiful.
(ps: I was supposed to have another one, but the fever hasn't subsided yet, so I can't write anymore. So I posted this 5,000-word one first. I'm sorry. I'll see how it goes tomorrow. If the fever subsides, I'll make up for it with 10,000 words.) I recommend this book to a friend. If you're interested, you can take a look. (End of this chapter)
