Is something good about to happen in the palace?

No wonder His Highness has been going to the White Pagoda so frequently these days; it turns out their relationship has warmed up!

Eh? But why do we need to prepare an extra room? Don’t His Highness and the Princess live together?

Maybe the princess is shy, after all, they haven't officially gotten married yet. But now the atmosphere is very open, and there's nothing wrong with living together!

Everyone suppressed the random smile on their lips, and the butler said, "The prince's wife--"

Shafley didn't let anyone follow Chen Nian: "Let him walk around on his own so he can get familiar with the environment."

Chen Nian walked in the spacious and luxurious corridor. The thick checkered carpet matched the white-themed building, like a chessboard stretching endlessly in all directions.

The reflection and cutting of mirrors and railings make the space more varied, just like a fairy tale world that only exists in books.

He relaxed as he admired the unique scenery before him.

Judging from Shafulai's current performance, the eldest prince is still quite sincere. With his help, both himself and Chen Ci will have a much easier time in the future.

Chen Nian was walking aimlessly, not knowing where he was strolling to, when he suddenly heard the steady sound of hard soles of shoes hitting the stone steps beside him.

Chen Nian looked to the side and saw an Alpha in military uniform coming down the stairs. He held the decorative sword at his waist with one hand, like a knight in medieval legend. Golden braids hung from his epaulettes to his chest, and medals were neatly hung on his straight dress, too many to count at a glance.

Under the sword-like brows, those deep blue eyes were still as calm as the sea, reflecting the lonely figure of the Omega boy in the corridor below.

It was General Goodes, whom he had met once at the banquet.

Goodes paused.

The princess was alone for some reason, looking up at him from top to bottom. Unlike the gorgeous clothes he wore last time they met, the boy was only wearing a simple coat, and he didn't do any hairstyle. His black hair fell softly on his forehead, making him look particularly well-behaved.

The moment the two looked at each other, Chen Nian's DNA moved.

Teasing Alpha has become instinct for him and is also his favorite way of having fun.

Chen Nian enjoys the pleasure of repeatedly pulling in ambiguity, and is also addicted to the pleasure of ruthlessly pulling away when the other party is deeply involved and unable to extricate themselves.

It would be even more interesting if the other person is an outstanding Alpha who is admired by many people.

Such Alphas are destined to be impossible to conquer with a few simple tricks, and because of this, when they step into a trap, they will fall deeper than ordinary people.

It also makes Chen Nian feel more accomplished.

Well... although General Goodes is a bit old, Chen Nian has never seen this type of general in the dungeon.

It must be fun to rub the ice cubes to warm them up a little bit.

Few people know that Chen Nian is actually a fun-loving person who lacks great virtue.

His extremely beautiful and delicate face and Omega identity are so deceptive that any Alpha would not think that Chen Nian is dangerous at first sight.

Therefore, they let their guard down.

Not to mention that Chen Nian also has superb acting skills that can astound even harsh critics.

"General." There was a flash of surprise in Chen Nian's eyes, as if he had never expected to see Goodes here.

The young man was flustered for a moment, then he saluted gracefully to the general on the steps.

"Your Highness." Goodes returned the greeting respectfully. No matter how outstanding his military achievements were, it was still impolite to talk to the princess from a high place.

Goodes walked down the stairs quickly and stopped three meters away from Chen Nian: "Are you here alone?"

"Well, I'm here for a look. I've been living in the White Tower before, and I've rarely been to the Imperial Palace, so I'm not very familiar with this place." Chen Nian paused, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you here..."

"I come to offer my services to your Majesty."

Chen Nian heard from Shafley that Goodes was a bachelor, and initially speculated that there were two most likely scenarios.

First, he held the stereotype that Omegas were gentle and fragile, and felt that no Omega could speak the same language with him. After all, he was a general who killed decisively on the battlefield, and it was too much trouble for him to care for an Omega.

Second, there is someone in his heart whom he has never been able to love. That person may have encountered some kind of accident, which deeply broke the Alpha's heart and made Goodes decide not to get married.

Of course, the above are all irresponsible guesses by Chen Nian, and also part of his fun.

It stands to reason that an old man of this age should like weak little lambs and pitiful girls, but if we follow the first guess, Chen Nian cannot pretend to be too fragile.

Be like a flower in a rainstorm, holding on to your delicate and tender branches, and standing firm and blooming even if you are treated cruelly and unfairly by fate.

"Ah, is this your Majesty's office? Why are we here..." Chen Nian bit his lower lip in annoyance. He looked around anxiously, as if trying to seek help.

——The only daughter of the Chen family became the prince's consort, but she was alone at the royal dinner. Her fiancé was surrounded by beautiful girls and it took him a long time to think of looking for her.

He had just met a new friend, who was an old colleague of his father's, but before he could even say a few words to him, he was taken away by his fiancé.

Now I am walking alone in the huge palace, because I don’t know the way and ran here.

When I was lost, I met an "acquaintance" whom I had met once, and I showed a bit of joy.

"Are you lost?" Goodes asked. "This is the area where official business is handled. If you want to relax, you can go to the courtyard in the back or the bell tower."

"I don't know as much about the palace as the general." Chen Nian smiled and pointed to a place on the left, feeling a little embarrassed. "Is the clock tower in that direction?"

Goodes nodded: "Do you need me to take you there?"

Chen Nian shook his head obediently: "No, General, go and do your thing. I don't want to waste your time."

Goodes was hooked: "I don't have anything else to do, let's go."

Chen Nian no longer refused. Although the boy said that he didn't want to waste his time, he couldn't help but show some happiness after knowing that he would be sent there.

——The sensible child who doesn’t cry gets a candy.

Although this is actually a bad kid who is so cruel that he wants to rob the sugar man.

Chen Nian was taken to the clock tower nearby by Goodes, and the two chatted a little on the way.

Chen Nian only asked some questions about the imperial palace and showed curiosity about many things. It was obvious that the princess knew very little about this future home.

He had always been protected in the White Tower and indeed had few opportunities to come to the palace. His Royal Highness the First Prince had a lukewarm attitude and probably never took the initiative to bring the Princess on a tour.

The two climbed up the spiral staircase to the bell tower. Their view suddenly opened up and they saw birds circling in the sky. Chen Nian stretched out his hand and the pigeons, which were not afraid of people, perched down and landed on his arm.

More pigeons fell, and soon the Omega boy's arms could no longer bear the weight. Chen Nian touched their snow-white feathers and smiled at the pigeons, "Sorry, I don't have anything to eat."

Goodes looked quietly at the boy beside him.

When the Marshal's children were born, he was on the front line settling the people he saved in the Battle of Greenland. It was not until the Marshal died in the final battle against the Sea Emperor Canglong that Goodes finally returned to Cinnabar.

Eight years later, he came to the Veterans' Hospital on the anniversary of the marshal's death. The young boy stood in front of the black tomb, dressed in white, with hair as black as ebony. He leaned over and placed the flowers in his arms in front of the tombstone.

The waiter held a large black umbrella above his head. The boy seemed to feel cold. He weighed the coat on his shoulders, looked up at the butler, and wanted to go back.

There was no expression on that pale and pretty little face, but her amber eyes were as clear and cold as glass, and as indifferent as a porcelain doll.

What could such a young child understand? To him, this was just a cold stone tablet, which could not be associated with the word father.

Time flies, and the children back then have grown up now.

He has never been happy.

Chen Nian raised his hands, and the pigeons flapped their wings and returned to the sky. He looked at the birds' free figures with envy, turned around and said to Goodes: "I have to go back. Thank you, General, for bringing me here."

Goodes came back to his senses and said, "Your Highness is too polite."

Chen Nian got off the bell tower, and Goodes showed him the detailed route back. He thanked the general and left in a hurry as if he was chasing time.

After making sure that they had reached a place where Goodes could not see them, Chen Nian slowed down his pace again. He breathed a sigh of relief happily and was quite satisfied with his performance just now.

He hasn't hooked up with any men in over a week since quitting the nightclub, but it looks like his skills haven't declined.

As another child of Marshal Chen Weiyuan, he should also have a noble status.

Chen Ci has the eldest prince Shafrai as his fiancé, and there is also an Alpha in the dungeon who is willing to fight for him until his head is broken and bloody. He cannot be left behind by his brother.

It is normal for a handsome and noble Omega like him to want to find a better home for himself.

There happened to be so many outstanding Alphas at the top, so it was understandable that he made some selections, after all, this matter concerned his entire life.

Chen Nian's logic was so self-consistent that it was impeccable. He returned to his bedroom with satisfaction, and Shafulai was looking for him.

Shafulai didn't ask where Chen Nian had been. He was relieved to see that the Omega was happy to go out. He never thought that during this time, Chen Nian had gone to meet another Alpha.

“Is there a place you like?”

Chen Nian: "It doesn't matter where I live."

"Then live in the room next to mine?"

"Okay." Chen Nian lowered his voice, "But I have to ask my brother. It would be bad if he has any objections."

Shafley nodded: "Ask."

Chen Nian went back to Shafley's bedroom, took the new terminal, opened the software and saw that Chen Ci had accepted his friend request.

And sent him a "."

Seeing the lonely period, Chen Nian couldn't help but laugh. He quickly responded with a super cute little cat emoticon and sent it to:

[I asked Shafley to make a terminal that is not monitored, so that we can keep in touch at all times. I will also write all the logs in this terminal to avoid the risk of being discovered.]

[Shafley has discovered my identity and said he is willing to cover for us.]

Chen Ci was probably also looking at the terminal, and quickly replied: [He found out? ]

Chen Nian: [Yes, I had the cocoon in my hand, and he found it as soon as he touched it. The bullet before was also a test, and I never asked him for it. But fortunately, it’s not a big problem.]

Chen Nian continued to send: [Shapley and I discussed it briefly and found the White Tower's confinement order too annoying, so we came up with a plan and decided to move to the palace. This way it would be more convenient to go out. Do you think it's okay?]

Chen Ci: [Sure, it would be great if Shafley is willing to help.]

[He agreed.] Chen Nian said to Shafley.

Shafley went out to tell the butler to use the room next to his.

Chen Nian lowered his head, thought for a moment, and continued to ask: [There are a lot of good Alphas here, and they are completely different from the ones I saw in the dungeon. I kind of want to...]

Chen Ci immediately understood: [Want to fall in love? ]

Chen Nian: [Hehe [head shaking.jpg]]

Chen Ci: [No problem, as long as you are happy. ]

Chen Ci's straightforward response made Chen Nian feel embarrassed:

[But no matter what I do, it will still be in your name to outsiders. Is it okay? Will it be bad for your reputation?]

【I don’t care.】

The message paused for two seconds, and then another one came: [You can also test Shafley's opinion. If he doesn't mind, then it's fine.]

Chen Nian couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes when she saw the message.

How could he have deserved such a brother who doted on him and tolerated all his little thoughts?

Chen Nian took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and secretly made up his mind——

He must catch the best Alpha in the entire Cinnabar top layer. He absolutely must not let Chen Ci down!
