Chapter 202 Half a Sentence

Chapter 698 Half a sentence

On the avenue of the Emerald City, Thales was riding a horse and following the carriage in which Heeley was riding indifferently.

They are surrounded by the heavy protection of the Star Lake Guards, the Knights of the Emerald Legion are further outside, and the outermost are the security officers who have been assigned to duty. They are trying to maintain the security line, roaring, throwing batons, shields and even weapons, and swarming both sides of the street. The citizens who were vying to see the noble man's face, or pointing at Thales and talking about him, were pushed back.

Well, despite all the fuss surrounding Caguire's case, at least he wasn't thrown an egg on him.

Not yet.

A few seconds later, Thales took a deep breath and turned to the car window:

"Why, Heeley? That just now, was that really necessary?"

"This way you can listen to me properly." A white arm was propped up by the car window, but the silk gloves above the wrist seemed a bit redundant. "And, you're welcome, unless you would rather spend the whole day with the Seychelles captain." , Qingqing, I am loving, miserable and miserable.

"But what you just said, about us being in the room... people, people are going to take it the wrong way!"

"Oh, you mean the contraceptive part?" A round face appeared above the arm at the right time, with a hint of a mocking smile, "Don't worry, my brother has too much time to take care of himself and has no time to trouble you."

"That's not what I'm worried about! What I'm worried about is the fear of people's words, your reputation, the damage you will suffer, and what people will say about you..."

Thales couldn't continue, so he could only sigh and smooth Jenny's mane.

The girl from Kevin Deere's family leaned against the car window. She was fully made up and radiant. She blinked and looked at him intriguingly.

"It's strange, Thales, why are you always so worried about me?"

Thales frowned:

"I'm serious, Heeley, it's not some flirting joke between men and women..."

"Indeed not," Shilai's expression suddenly changed, and his words were cold and stern, "I am talking about why you, Prince Thales, and maybe my brother and others, are always so confident and certain, thinking that you are better than Who has the right to worry about her?"

Thales paused and stopped talking.

"You know, you're not the king - not yet."

Hilley tilted his head and repeated his words:

"Why aren't you worried about yourself, worried about being feared by others, worried about your reputation, worried about what people will say to you?"

After being stunned for a while, Thales hesitated for a moment and sighed.

"Because, because I'm a man."

Xi Lai raised his eyebrows and was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by Thales raising his hand.

"I know this sounds unfair, Shirley, but to many people in the world, love affair is just a medal on my chest, a warrior's scar. The more achievements the better," Thales struggled to find a suitable metaphor. , "But it is a noose around your neck, a festering abscess, slowly vicious and fatal in one blow."

Xi Lai was silent for a while and sneered.

"A badge of honor for men, huh? Even the aphrodisiacs and the parts you 'can't do'?"

Aphrodisiac...

Thales felt a pain in his heart.

"Well, if you say this, you may hurt the self-esteem of men - some men -" the prince advised earnestly, healing himself at the same time, "but it is from the other side, to be precise, from the other side. Is it worth paying for your reputation and even your life just to hurt me?”

"So are you hurt?"

"No! Because that's not true!" Thales denied loudly with his hands open.

Sensing something wrong with her master, Jenny, as a war horse, pricked up her ears vigilantly and let out an uneasy low, ready to raise her hooves and speed up to escape.

Xi Lai raised the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes, showing a hint of mockery and pride.

Thales immediately realized that his voice was too loud. While comforting Jenny, he looked back anxiously:

Fortunately, everyone in the Star Lake Guards was at least five meters away from him, and everyone was walking calmly, seriously, not squinting, and not listening - especially D.D. You probably won't be able to find anything better than this guy in his life. This is the time to be more dedicated and dedicated to your job.

"Well, I am not exempt from vulgarity, and it has some influence to some extent." Thales retracted his hands dejectedly, "But to be honest, this kind of relying on some primitive, narrow and boring standard to label a man's value , rules to build self-esteem, and the culture of being afraid that others will say you are not good, so you have to pretend to be good no matter what, it is really, really stupid!”

Xi Lai clicked his tongue and shook his head: "If you wait until you are forty years old to say this, it may be more convincing."

Thales choked on his words and decided to return to the previous topic:

"In short, what I want to say is that what you just did was quite unwise and not good for yourself-"

"If I am really like what you said, Your Highness," Hilley interrupted him coldly, "if I care about being feared, care about my 'reputation', and care about what people say about me, No matter what kind of damage I suffered, I would have been hanged by the noose, and only a walking corpse would be left - the person who has been supported by balls, parties, banquets, the eyes of my peers, the guidance of ladies and ladies, and of course Carla over the years. A vicious noose woven together by the vicious whispers and little notes of the Bijan sisters.”

Thales was silent after hearing this, and then spoke feebly:

"Hile..."

"As you said, only when you cater to the values ​​others place on you and recognize the self-esteem others have built for you, that 'primitive, narrow and boring' thing will become your medal, just like a peacock. of proud feathers.”

Hilley hummed:

"In the same way, if I don't care and don't abide by such rules, this noose will not be able to hang me."

All right.

Thales sighed.

"The reason why rules are rules is not only because some people are willing to abide by them," he said with emotion, looking at the dome of the sky that was filled with dark clouds and becoming increasingly gloomy. "It is also because it will be imposed on those who are unwilling to abide by the former. Those who impose punishment.”

And the price is heavy.

Hilley was silent for a while.

"Indeed, so I was forced to cut my flesh, disinfect it, and remove abscesses, in order to become white, pure, and flawless—at least until my father died and no one could take care of me anymore."

She raised her gloved hand with a sarcastic look on her face:

"Look what I got."

Thales sighed helplessly.

"Sometimes I really doubt whether you are Zhan's sister or Kevin Dill." The prince shook his head. "Or you jumped out of some rock, wielded a big stick, and caused trouble in the Kingdom of God. Wild monkey."

"Female monkeys also have big sticks?"

Thales's face changed:

"This is not a sex joke!"

The atmosphere relaxed a little, and Xi Lai shook his head and pointed in the distance:

"So, if you want to be neither harmed nor punished, in addition to not caring about not following the rules, you also need to know how to take advantage of those who care and follow the rules."

"What?"

"A minute ago, the Seychelles knight held up the flag of the Duke of Iris to intercept your team. He consciously ordered the world, and no one in the royal family dared to disobey." Hilley raised the corner of his mouth, "But now, as a person in the extreme realm Master, he was respectful and trembling, and consciously moved to a street away, lest I say even one more word, why? "

Thales frowned.

Hilley stared at him for a while and smiled slightly.

"Because people like Seychelles who enjoy majesty and are obsessed with power and position really believe too much in a certain 'primitive, narrow and boring' standard, and they care too much about this kind of rule that flaunts someone's worth to build their self-esteem," Hope Lai looked sharply into the distance, "He was afraid that people's words would be intimidating. He was afraid that if I spoke too much, it would not only affect myself, but also Kevin Deere's reputation. He was afraid that when he faced Zhan En alone after returning to Kongming Palace, he would It left a bad impression on the angry master that he was not doing things well and ruined my reputation, which would affect his future military career. "

Hilley looked at Thales and changed the subject:

"Of course, Seychelles may - not much, but a little bit - still be afraid, after he publicly asked you about the fact that you are 'not good' in bed..."

"That's not true." Thales added with a sullen face.

"... He will be left with an unforgettable bad impression by the second prince and future king on 'the thing that men care about most', and will be hated forever, and will be retaliated against in the future."

Thales frowned when he heard this and turned his head slightly:

In front of the queue of the Emerald Legion, the Seychelles knight felt Thales' gaze. He quickly turned back and sat upright on his horse, solemn and majestic.

It seems like it has always been like this.

"And don't forget, between this set of rules for men and women, there is another set of rules that I can use." Heilai said quietly.

"Another one?" Thales asked.

Having said this, Cecilia smiled mysteriously, leaned over the car window and stuck her head out, face to face with Thales on the horse.

"I am the daughter of the former Lord Protector of the South Coast, Leinster Kelvindill, and the sister of the current Duke, Jenn Kelvindill. I am a descendant of Iris, the noble family of Tianhuang, and the unique Princess of the Emerald City. I can inherit and The property I have used is enough to buy a city, and the family tree I can touch and connect covers the entire kingdom. The value and significance of my political marriage far exceed that of any woman from eight to eighty years old west of the Blood Gate Fortress. "

Her eyes were deep and her expression was playful, which made Thales feel a little embarrassed:

"So, yes, even if I have slept with a hundred men before marriage, even if I have miscarried fifty children on the delivery bed, even if I dance naked and posing on the highest wall of the Emerald City every day, even if I walk around the market with a 'one copper coin at a time' sign hanging on my butt. As long as I am Cecilia Kevin Dill, when I get married, I am destined to be pure, beautiful and virtuous. It’s also worth a historian’s biography.”

Her choice of words made Thales frown.

"And if I am just a deformed girl born to a poor farmer," Heeley looked at his gloves, his eyes tranced, "even if I have been reciting the Sunset Sutra since I was born, serving the Sunset Goddess, and wearing a chastity lock all my life, it will not matter. Destined to be dirty, degraded, humble, neglected, and despised.”

"So, why should I care?"

Thales couldn't bear to see her like this, but he finally resisted the idea of ​​​​speaking to explain.

He gritted his teeth and forced a smile:

"Okay, the doubts are cleared."

Hillai raised his head and saw Thales tutting and shaking his head, sighing with emotion and helplessness:

"You are indeed Jen's sister. No, in some parts, you may be more 'Kevin Dill' than him."

"The stick-wielding part?"

"No - can't you be more careful with your words?"

"This is not a pornographic joke, don't get it wrong."

"Don't imitate me!"

After a confrontation, the two of them were silent for a while, each thinking in the rhythm of the team's march.

A few minutes later, Hilley glanced at Thales tentatively:

"Then...we are reconciled?"

Can he be coaxed?

"No!"

Thales' expression changed when he heard this:

"No, uh, no, I mean, we didn't say 'quarrel' or 'reconciliation' in the first place, we just, just..."

"Then you are finally willing to talk to me properly?" Xi Lai looked at him with shining eyes.

Finally, Thales sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I, I uh... I just..."

"I'm sorry." Xi Lai's mood changed.

Thales' expression changed, slightly surprised.

She... apologized?

She would actually apologize?

Did I hear it wrong? Or is the world setting wrong?

"I... I'm sorry. I know what happened yesterday put a lot of pressure on you, especially..." Hilley's voice trembled slightly, but she still tried to keep looking at Thales, "You have every reason to avoid it. drive me."

Thales felt the contradiction in the other party's heart, and he subconsciously denied:

"No, I'm not avoiding it, I just..."

Thales did not say the next words.

It just takes time to prepare to face you.

And your crazy 'friend' who is chaotic, can launch a brutal attack when he finds a weak point, until a living person is torn apart from the inside out, from soul to bone.

The faces of Thelma and Coria flashed through his mind one after another, causing him to subconsciously tug at his collar to breathe easier.

"In contrast, after facing the soul bone Jacques, you can still remain sane and speak rationally and calmly, which surprises me even more." Heilai whispered.

Hearing that name, Thales felt an uncomfortable feeling again.

"What about you? How long has it been? How did you meet it? How did you follow it..."

Thales looked at Xi Lai's expression and understood something.

"You're not going to answer me, are you?"

"I will, I promise," Hilley took a deep breath and looked seriously into Thales's eyes, "when the time comes."

Thales looked back at her quietly for three seconds.

"Of course." Thales came back to his senses and looked forward.

Wait until the time comes.

"But is it your last resort? Because the consequences of summoning it are quite serious and uncontrollable, like drinking poison to quench your thirst?"

"Absolutely." Heeley shrank back into the shadow of the carriage.

Thales was silent for a few seconds.

"I understand," the young man rubbed the scar on his left hand, "I know that feeling."

"Yeah, I'm very doubtful." She chuckled, not knowing her emotions.

"Does your brother know about this?"

Xi Lai was silent. After a while, her voice came faintly from the carriage:

"Can you keep it a secret?"

Thales looked at the dark carriage and hesitated for a long time.

Can the matter about Heeley... be used as a bargaining chip to blackmail Zhan En?

For example, "Miss Kevin Dill resorted to evil spirits and hooked up with the devil"?

Force him to take a step back and accept his conditions?

After all, Zhan's sister is the most precious to him, right?

Then maybe, maybe before the secret department really takes action, he has one last chance to intervene and interfere with the situation in Emerald City?

Thales took a deep breath.

He looked faintly at Xi Lai's carriage.

After a few seconds, he finally sighed.

No.

Thales shook his head inwardly and denied:

He has already tried this kind of effort.

Kevin Deere does not succumb to the enemy - this morning's confrontation with Zhan has confirmed that the Duke of South Bank is soft rather than tough. Not only will such a strong advance be ineffective, it may be counterproductive, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

What's more, the person he used to threaten him was Zhan En's most untouchable baby sister.

Yes, this was the case several years ago: Zhan even wanted to get rid of himself even at the cost of destroying the alliance with the Corleone family and the Kingdom of Night, just because...

Nonsense.

A voice emerged from the bottom of his heart, mocking him mercilessly: This is just you making excuses for your weakness, Thales Bright Star.

It’s just self-deception.

Thales trembled slightly.

Where does all the foresight and hindsight come from? There is only one reason why you don’t want to do this and use her as a bargaining chip:

You can't bear it.

You can't bear to see that girl's life shattered again.

I couldn't bear to see her shocked expression when she was betrayed.

Thales closed his eyes.

Just like those people whose lives were shattered countless times because of your every move.

The voice in his heart was naked and cold, leaving him unable to refute.

Colia, Thelma, Naki and Nai in the Bone Prison... countless figures flashed before his eyes at that moment.

And because of your weakness this time, this time you can't bear it, maybe more people's lives will be broken?

Have you forgotten the purpose of your coming here?

Remember, the tide has turned, Kama is a bitch, and you are here to depose the Duke and destroy Zhan...

His thoughts were spinning, and Thales opened his eyes suddenly!

"Of course, I will keep it a secret," he forced out a smile, facing the dark carriage, "We all have our own secrets."

After several seconds, Shilay's voice came out from the carriage, with mixed emotions:

"Thanks."

An awkward silence fell between the two.

Thales took a deep breath and turned to the back: Cassian, who was slovenly dressed and described as embarrassed, was holding a sword in his arms and walking on the road with his head lowered, looking inconspicuous.

"What about the old man with the sword? What's going on?"

"After what happened yesterday, I decided to find a bodyguard," Hilley raised his voice and slowly adjusted his mood, "so that I won't be chased all over the street."

"He can make the Seychelles fearful. Isn't he an unknown person? I guess he is also from the Emerald City and a subordinate of Zhan En?"

Thales unconsciously estimated Zhan's strength in the Emerald City, and estimated how he would protect himself if he was determined to eliminate him...

"He was once a famous knight in the Emerald City," Hilley said, "but he resigned and retired several years ago. Even though he looks like this now, he still has the title and land inherited from his family, and he has no worries about food and clothing. "

"Since you don't have to worry about food and clothing, then there's no need to work as a mercenary for a young lady who doesn't come home often, right?"

"Unfortunately, Cassian owes me a favor."

"What kind of favor?"

"Are you going to marry me?"

"Oh, that's it - what?" Thales, immersed in complex emotions, was startled.

When he looked up, he suddenly found the eldest lady's face reappearing next to the car window, smiling.

"Since you are not planning to marry me," Xi Lai's smile contained a hint of sarcasm, and you should have noticed that he was distracted, "then why are you asking about my assets and debts?"

"You - pretend I didn't say anything." Thales said angrily.

Damn it.

He was even thinking about how to use the other party and betray the other party, but why was this little girl so...

"Don't worry, before my mother passed away, she left a will to Zhan. As the daughter of Kevin Dill, I can inherit it. Even if it's just my mother's dowry, it's... well, I'm richer than you anyway." When Heilai said this, he held his chin and looked up at the sky, shaking his head.

"Do you want to marry me?"

"What? You little--" Xi Lai was stunned for a moment, then looked angry.

But she reacted within a second and sneered:

"Oh, I know, not bad, Thales Bright Star, not bad, easy to counterattack."

"Yes, since you are not marrying me," Thales raised the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically, "Why are you showing off your dowry in front of me?"

The two old rivals looked at each other, one sneered and the other disdained, as if they were fighting swords in the air, refusing to give in to each other.

But only Thales knew that his heart was extremely heavy.

The carriages were moving and the crowds were getting bigger and bigger.

"Do you know the news this morning? Your local tour guide..." Heilai hesitated.

"Of course, the Kaguire vigilance officer was beheaded and publicly displayed, and another life was lost to politics," Thales sighed, worried, "and then there are rumors that I did it."

"That's right, I have a bad premonition. It's time for us to get nervous and take action," Hilley was rarely worried. "A big wave is coming to the Emerald City, and the tide is coming. No one can survive alone."

"Yes, I thought so too, and I tried to turn the tide." Thales shook his head. While being irritated, he only wanted to blame others. "But a certain big shot, I don't know. Maybe he still wants to face the difficulties and go surfing." Chao, maybe?”

"You mean my brother?" Hilley rolled his eyes, "Okay, what happened to you and Zhan this morning?"

"Ask him, you are his good sister."

"Yes, I asked him, and he asked me to ask you!" Healy said sarcastically, "The words are even more vicious than yours: 'Ask him, after all, you are his little girlfriend?'"

"What? Wow, Zhan is actually like this, ahem..."

Thales couldn't help but want to laugh, but his expression quickly changed and he said solemnly: "Uh, so vicious."

Xi Lai's eyes sharpened:

"I saw you snickering."

"I, I didn't."

"Very proud, aren't you?"

"Really not!"

boom!

Xi Lai slapped the carriage, causing Thales to be shocked on his horse outside the window!

"What did you and him talk about this morning?" Heilai said every word with a sinister look.

"I--"

"If you keep pretending to be stupid for me, I swear, no matter how many people are watching around me, I will fucking-"

The familiar sentence pattern made Thales tremble suddenly, and he had a bad feeling!

"Because of what happened yesterday, Zhan discovered my identity."

Without waiting for the other party to finish his threat, Thales stopped making excuses and spoke concisely and directly to the point:

"We couldn't reach an agreement and broke up, so from now on, we go our separate ways and work on our own merits, that's it."

Hilley was stunned.

Phew - Thales breathed a sigh of relief, well, at least he didn't get "aphrodisiac" from her again.

But he miraculously found that after such an interruption, his mood improved a lot.

"Nonsense," Heeley said in a daze, looking at the dark corner of the carriage. "It's not about what happened yesterday."

"I didn't lie to you, if you don't believe it..."

"It's everything!"

Thales was stunned.

Heilai turned his head with a serious expression:

"You and him, from the time you came to Emerald City, no, maybe from the time you were born, have distrusted each other in everything. You entered the chessboard as rivals, so naturally you can only decide the winner before you walk out."

She punched the carriage hatefully:

"Damn it, I should have understood a long time ago that it was only a matter of time before you guys broke up - I overestimated you, whether it was Zhan's vision or your size."

Forehead……

Thales had a strange expression, and for a moment he didn't know whether to agree with the former or seriously protest against the latter.

"It makes sense," the prince decided to skip this topic, "So, the Emerald City is in danger now, but there is nothing we can do..."

"That's it, let's turn it over!" Shilai shook his head and interrupted him firmly, "Now, tell me, Thales Bright Star, do you still want to complete your mission in the Emerald City?"

Turn over?

Thales looked at her suspiciously.

The other party's eyes were burning, half expecting, half... threatening.

"Not in His Majesty's way, not in the way of rivers of blood and death and injury everywhere, but in your way," Hilley said decisively and continued to ask, "our way."

Our way?

Thales sighed.

Fortunately, the other party can't read minds, otherwise I would have been thinking about how to threaten her to break the situation...

"Xilai, it's not a matter of whether I think about it or not," Thales shook his head in denial. "Zhan and I have completely shown off. He has seen through my disguise, so he will not back down or trust me anymore."

Ha, as if he believed me.

"But I'm not asking him, I'm asking you." Hilley's eyes were serious, "Please, Thales, little Huahua is short-sighted and ignorant, but you are the second prince and the Duke of Star Lake, you should know better than him. Reason?"

Little flower?

Thales had a strange look in his eyes, but he immediately realized: How should he answer this?

Oops.

Why do you feel like you've fallen into this little girl's trap again?

"Wait a minute, I did this trick a long time ago... Could it be that you just said the same thing to Zhan or planned to say the same thing," Thales looked suspicious, "For example, 'Come on, Zhan, you little brat. He is narrow-minded and ignorant, but you are the Lord of Jade City and the Duke of South Bank, so you should be more sensible than him, right?"

Xi Lai's expression froze.

"Of course not!" She spoke sternly, her face full of injustice, "Who do you think I am!"

That's right, she didn't say "little brat".

Thales felt a little uncomfortable under her righteous gaze, and he avoided her gaze:

"No, you don't understand. Your brother is the Lord of Emerald City and the one who has the initiative. If he doesn't surrender to the enemy and goes all the way to the dark side, then it will be useless for others to worry. Disaster is doomed and the general trend is inevitable. All we can do is find ways to stop losses and clean up the mess. "

"But you are the one who doesn't understand," Heeley denied. "Is the Emerald City hopeless? Don't forget, His Majesty has given you the power of discretion and emergency decision-making. Accept it and make good use of it! Even if it is destined, even if it is destined, The general trend is the trend!”

discretion, decision-making on the spur of the moment...

Thales thought of Kessel V and felt his shoulders become heavier.

How to decide? How to decide?

Thales shook his head and said: "Don't be naive, Shilai. In my experience, politics cannot be reversed with just one or two slogans..."

"Then just use half a sentence."

Thales' words stopped for a moment.

Heilai took a deep breath, leaned his face out of the car window, and looked at him extremely seriously:

"Do you know the famous saying of your Bright Star royal family?"

"yes?"

"Someone once told me: What's really important is never the last part of the sentence."

Thales was startled when he heard this.

The second half of the sentence? That is……

"So, Thales, don't give up, try again, 'discretion' and 'decision on the spur of the moment.'" Hilley stared at him, leaving him with nowhere to escape. "When fate is determined, discretion is the way to go." It’s valuable, but it only makes sense to adapt to the situation.”

Thales frowned and looked at Shilay.

"Don't forget, you are the famous North Star, a young hero who has dueled with King Nunn or King Charmaine. You have fought hard and turned the tide in the brutal and dangerous Exeter!"

Hilley's eyes were firm.

Please.

Don't just listen to official propaganda.

Thales sighed:

"First of all, I have never dueled with them. On the contrary, most of the time in Northland, I was fucked by those two unscrupulous bastards until I cried for my father and mother, beat the shit out of me, and played around in circles..."

"Like yesterday?"

Thales raised his gaze and found that Xi Lai had a smile on his lips and interesting eyes.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that the eldest lady in front of him was serious.

She wouldn't allow herself to say no.

"Yes," Thales couldn't help but smile. He shook his head helplessly, "Just like yesterday."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The speed of the team's march gradually slowed down.

The venue where the generals were selected, or rather, the cage-like competition venue, appeared in their sight.

"Okay, listen to you, try again, I will talk to Zhan again," Thales put away his smile, "But let me declare in advance that this is the last time, once he..."

"Thank you, Thales," Hilley's eyes lit up, and he quickly interrupted him. While grateful, he prevented the other party from saying any regrets, "As for Zhan and Emerald City, leave it to me."

For some reason, Thales seemed to have returned to the past, but it was not because of Lausanne II's supernatural powers, nor because of the tricks of the soul bone Jacques.

"Leave it to you?" Thales couldn't help but smile, "Who do you think you are?"

Hilley smiled too.

"I am Cecilia Kevin Deal," she said, her smile bright and reflective, "Savior of the Emerald City."

Thales trembled slightly.

At that moment, he didn't feel like he was in the Emerald City, which was surrounded by layers of fog and treacherous clouds, but more like he was in Longxiao City, which was full of crises and the situation was over.

He looked at the bright-eyed Xi Lai in front of him, as if he was seeing another version of himself.

Thales was silent for a while.

"No, you're not."

Xi Lai's eyes moved.

"Cecilia Kevin Deere, she is just a young lady with political marriage significance, even if no one can match her west of the Blood Gate Fortress," Thales sighed, "But you, you are Shilai."

Hilley was startled.

Thales looked at the setting sun on the horizon and said with emotion:

"The unexpected great magician——Hilai Wyana."

Xi Lai's expression changed: "What's this name?"

"How do I know? You took it!"

But Thales soon knew that he was happy too early.

Because after they arrived at the venue and saw Duke Zhan with an angry look on his face (due to Thales and Hille being together), Miss Cecilia's first words made her brother suddenly change his expression.

"Listen Zhan, I know that you have turned the Emerald City into a piece of shit now. So, listen carefully to what the little brat and I are going to say next. You are not allowed to interrupt, you are not allowed to refute, and you are not allowed to leave..."

In front of everyone, Shilai, who was dressed up in sunshine and lively, rushed up to her brother, grabbed his brother's arm, and like every lovely sister in the world's ideals, she used the gentlest voice and uttered the most touching words:

"And if you dare to show me any shame, even just a little bit, I swear, no matter how many people are watching around me, I will immediately take off my skirt and rush into the election with only a tricolor fleur-de-lis badge." The center of the venue will be..."

Under the unbelievably horrified gazes of Thales and Zhan, Hilley had a rare smile that was sweet and gentle:

"Dancing."
