Kingdom’s Bloodline

The latest website: Thales stared at the Seychelles knight on the horse, and quickly thought about the situation in front of him.

what happened?

He had just arrived in Emerald City, and he hadn't even stepped into Kongming Palace yet.

This city doesn't welcome him that much?

Of course, the inner voice reminded him in a low voice: Don't forget what you are here for.

Don't forget the ring in your pocket.

People in the streets on both sides stopped their work, and they dared not approach due to the power of the two sides, but there were inevitably discussions:

Is that really the prince? The Polaris? The one who took the sword at the banquet and ended up bleeding so much that the wine glass was broken all over the floor?

Where did you hear the rumor? At most, he killed the assassin alone!

Wow, look at that prince, he's so big, with a zombie-like expression, he really is a barbarian from the north...

Of course, if it weren't for this, would you be able to survive in a ghostly place like Exeter, where you can only hide in caves and eat human flesh in winter?

But you seem to have read it wrong. Although that big man is a nobleman, he doesn't seem to be a prince, he's just a bodyguard...

Tsk tsk, to use such a big man as a bodyguard, I guess I have done too many bad things and I am afraid that people will think about it. It really is a barbarian from the north...

The cuckolds mean that the prince is harboring fugitives?

The power is overwhelming, of course the law is nothing, this is just the tip of the iceberg, who knows what is more dirty...

Be careful of being invited to drink tea by the police department, sued for slander and slander, and instigating opposition between the government and the people...

It's not open and transparent, and no prying eyes are allowed, so of course we can only guess at the dirty places...

Why do you think the king exiled him? That must be a heinous crime! It's just not letting the common people know...

Master Zhan En actually wants to marry Miss Shiley to such a person, alas, what is the world...

You think we have a choice, but that's someone from the capital,

If you want your sister, how dare you refuse? Are you not patriotic or do not support the royal family?

At the center of countless gazes, the Xinghu Guard stood firmly in front of the Emerald Legion.

Your Highness, this matter concerns the face of the royal family, we cannot show weakness. Wyatt came to Thales' side, worried.

Thales didn't speak.

But they came prepared, and there are a large number of them, Miranda carefully observed the surroundings. Although they may not have our elite, the outcome of the fight is still uncertain.

At the front of the queue, Sergeant Kaguire was caught in the middle, trying to persuade Seychelles and Mallos to stop and make peace, but obviously had little effect.

How about showing the nine-pointed star flag? D.D had an idea, Although they have a large force, they will definitely not dare to make a move in the face of the Canxing royal family.

Zombie narrowed his eyes:

Like the last time you entered the Fuxing Palace?

Doyle's face darkened:

Can you not mention that?

No, if we take a tough attitude, then it's the right way. Miranda said coldly, His Highness can be said to have mistrusted the villain now, but once his attitude is tough, then His Highness will become a A bully of Eternal Star City who hides filth and bully others.

These words silenced everyone in Star Lake Fort.

So now, if we hand over people, we will lose our dignity, and if we don't hand over, we will be bullying others, Huai Ya said angrily, This must be intentional.

Yes, Thales said suddenly, That's on purpose.

The people around all looked at the prince.

On the first day, I was tricked twice before I saw anyone, D.D sighed, Isn't it just that His Highness wants to marry his sister? As for that?

Thales sighed:

Yes, it's really impossible to marry his sister.

Everyone glanced at the prince again.

Your Highness, Miranda said first, what did you think of?

No, it's nothing for now, Thales said in a daze, it might be over time.

Miranda was lost in thought.

Ah, His Highness started nagging again - this is helpless D.D.

Ah, Your Highness is starting to ramble again - this is the excited Wyah.

His Royal Highness Thales, Seychelles from the Emerald Legion, tired of negotiating with Mallos, said directly, We have to perform official duties, could you please make it easy?

Thales asked him to wait a little longer, and asked someone to bring Dagoli up later.

So, you told me before that Jen sent you here?

Your Highness, Your Highness, I, I don't know what's going on, logically speaking, it shouldn't be... Dagori was sweating profusely, and his pleading was beyond words.

Thales snorted lightly:

I guess, Jen sent you to approach me, not to spy on the news, but to discredit me.

Dagori swallowed his throat.

In front of the team, the confrontation between Mallos and Seychelles was still going on, but the police officer Kaguire was about to talk about it, and the two refused to give an inch.

He may have found out that you have a problem. For example, you embezzled money behind his back for kickbacks?

Dagoli was shocked when he heard the words, and denied it flatly:

What? Your Highness, I didn't...

Don't quibble, otherwise he won't sacrifice you so decisively.

Thales interrupted him with a word, with a solemn tone:

So, what will happen to you if you are taken away?

Dagoli remembered something, and his face turned pale:

Oh no, high seas, boats...

Thales nodded and sighed:

That's your lucky day.

After saying that, Thales turned around and said loudly in the direction of the green hat—the Emerald Legion:

Seychelles Knight, right, I remember you!

The attention of everyone in the Emerald Legion and Star Lake Fort, including the onlookers on the street, was attracted.

Seychelles looked back at Thales, but his face was indifferent and he did not answer.

Seven years ago, during an assassination in Eternal Star City, Thales continued, you and Duke Zhann saved my life and the hope of the kingdom.

This remark caused a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Really, Seychelles remained motionless, forgive me for not remembering.

Thales nodded.

It's really hard to deal with.

Or to be precise, I saved Zhan En's life first, Thales changed the subject, and then saved your life, and saved you from the shame of dereliction of duty—I guess, you don't remember?

As soon as this remark came out, the discussion on the street became louder.

Has this ever happened?

D.D wondered: He saved His Highness's life? Such a great contribution?

Wyatt, Rolf, Glover, Miranda... Everyone in Star Lake Castle squinted their eyes and looked at Seychelles with unfriendly eyes.

Seychelles frowned, he looked at the crowd around him, and wisely did not answer:

Your Highness, please ask your subordinates to get out of the way so that the Emerald Legion can arrest the criminal.

It's really watertight.

Thales muttered in his heart.

Don't worry, because of this old relationship, Thales said with a smile, Of course I won't hinder your work.

Dagoli, who was a little relieved at first, was startled when he heard this, and his knees softened:

No, Your Highness! Please—

But the crime of Hell River started to burn, and Thales pulled him up from the ground:

stand up!

Thales pulled Dagoli in front of him, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:

The pain of prison is indispensable, but do you still want to live?

Dagoli was stunned.

In front of the team, Seychelles was not in a hurry, and seemed to be happy to see Dagoli chattering in the prince's team and making more connections.

Then show your ability to persuade me to drink, Thales whispered, Tell the secret between you and Zhan En, and then beg for mercy—not to me, but to him.

What?

You heard what I said, Thales' expression remained unchanged, now.

But— The terrified Dagoli wanted to ask again, but a huge force surged from Thales' hands, pushing him two meters away, and he fell to the ground fiercely.

Seeing this scene, Seychelles snorted softly.

The prince is rational.

At least he knows that unnecessary confrontation will only smear himself more and more——

Master Jen!

A pig-killing scream came from Dagoli:

You can't treat me like this! Over the years, I have been collecting information and circulation information for you and the Kevin Dill family. I have tried my best and been loyal...

The people on the street were in an uproar again.

Seychelles complexion changed slightly.

Nonsense, the knight yelled, take him down!

The Emerald Legion has long been prepared, and a group of cavalry is about to step forward.

No one is allowed to move!

Mallos suddenly spoke loudly:

Protect Your Highness!

Everyone in Star Lake Fort was ordered to draw out their weapons and force the soldiers of the Emerald Legion back.

Master Zhan En, you, your people promised me back then!

Dagoli, who had been frightened by the soldiers, was even more confident when he saw this. He struggled from the ground, approached Seychelles, and cleverly hid behind Mallos.

As long as, as long as I lead the business in the central government and get acquainted with the dignitaries and dignitaries of the royal capital, then whether it is your funds, raw materials, equipment, access or technology, the Iris family and the Emerald City will give me a steady stream. How much do you want? How much!

He trembled and slipped to the ground, weeping and heartbroken:

Yes, I did a lot of bad things, shoddy, defaulted on debts, and bribed officials... But that was his order, and it was all for Kevin Dill! I wasted the raw material money of the grape growers, I put all the book losses on a few temporary workers who made mistakes. In the end, I closed the wine shop and sneaked to the Emerald City, but that is also your wish! Duke Jann ordered me to do it! He Saying that this is necessary, anyway, it will not be a loss to Emerald City! He said it!

Thales was behind him, holding his forehead.

It's all this time, don't forget to shirk responsibility.

Exclamations on the street came one after another, and the discussion became louder and more complicated.

Seychelles was shocked and angry: Take him down!

But Mallos took the initiative to block his mount at this time, preventing him from moving forward.

Duke Jane, you can't, you can't turn your face and deny people at this time! You, the people you connect with me, Charlie from the wine merchants' guild, the clerk in the notary office, and the quarterly report to Mr. Butler -

Hearing this, Thales suddenly said:

Shut up!

The prince strode forward and angrily reprimanded Dagoli:

Duke Zhan En is just and fair, how could he do such a foolish thing! You won't allow you to make false accusations out of thin air and spew out blood!

Dagoli was taken aback:

Your Highness, everything I said is true, please do it for me...

Thales shouted:

Shut him up!

D.D was stunned for a moment, but Miranda on the other side stepped forward first, knocking Dagori unconscious with a scabbard.

It's unbelievable, it's simply appalling, Thales was surprised at first, and then became angry, How dare a businessman spout such blood and slander the guardian duke of our kingdom!

Seychelles saw that Dagoli didn't continue, so he snorted coldly:

In that case...

It's really unreasonable!

Thales interrupted him angrily, pointing to the unconscious Dagoli on the ground: Duke Jann is a kingdom, and he has done a lot for the South Bank leader, but he has to be slandered and slandered by such villains, it's really infuriating!

Behind the prince, everyone in Star Lake Castle looked at Thales in a daze, with complicated emotions.

Miranda coughed a little:

Theatricality is too much.

Upon hearing this, Thales quickly adjusted his voice.

Seychelles tightened his eyebrows, he instinctively felt bad: In this case...

How could Jann have anything to do with such a dirty thing? If I didn't respect Duke Jann and the laws of the Emerald City, I would kill him with a sword! Thales waved his hand angrily.

D.D handed out the sword very quickly this time, but before holding the sword and shouting Please, Your Highness, Miranda pushed it back.

Seychelles had a complex expression for a moment: In this case...

In that case, Captain Seychelles!

Thales finally took Seychelles' words:

Please arrest him now!

Seychelles frowned: That's natural, come—

Let's escort him to Kongming Palace and confront Duke Jann face to face!

Thales shouted angrily, righteously:

I swear to return the Lord Duke's innocence!

Seychelles froze.

Sergeant Kaguire also opened his mouth wide, while Mallos turned his head back and frowned.

What?

The surrounding voices became noisy again, noisy and uproarious.

Don't worry, Zhan En is my friend, and he may be my brother-in-law in the future, Thales said unceremoniously about relatives, I swear to the sunset, with me, Thales Canxing, I will not let him Suffer innocent injustice!

After saying that, Thales grabbed the rein in Genard's hand, pulled Jenny and rushed up, scaring the horses of the Emerald Legion back and forth: We're leaving now!

Seychelles struggled to control the reins, and also signaled his colleagues who were also out of control of the horses not to run into the prince. He was distracted and said anxiously:

No, the criminal has nothing to do with the Duke—

Oh, I see, you have something to hide!

Thales came to his senses, and while pulling Jenny (who looked at him aggrievedly) forward, he ordered loudly:

In that case, Star Lake Guard, for the sake of law and justice, immediately arrest Dagory Moss!

yes!

Doyle, who had been holding back for a long time, finally found a place to use it. With a roar, he strode forward and grabbed the unconscious Dagori's wrist on the ground:

The arrest is over, Your Highness! The prisoner has been captured!

Huai Ya frowned from behind, and said in a low voice:

His actions and lines are familiar?

The last time I broke into the palace, Glover reminded reluctantly, Brother Diao.

The few people who passed through the Fuxing Palace suddenly realized.

Seychelles, who strangled his mount desperately, reacted, he coughed:

No, Your Highness, I appreciate it kindly. The Emerald City has its own laws, and we will follow the procedures for him...

That's even better, Captain Seychelles!

Thales was full of surprises and got on Jenny's saddle:

I know that the trial hall is also in the Kongming Palace, so I might as well go directly to the trial hall. I will watch this person be tried and plead guilty today, and then I will announce it to the world, and cleanse the stigma of Duke Zhann's injustice in front of the entire Emerald City!

Seychelles struggled to control the mount, which fidgeted for no reason, and was stunned and speechless.

no……

Driven by D.D, all members of the Xinghu Guard set off together and followed the prince to squeeze forward. The Emerald Legion didn't know what to do, and was in a hurry.

Let's go, everyone in Nan'an! Go to Kongming Palace! Doyle threw Dagoli on the (unhappy) Glover's back, instigating the people on the whole street to commotion, Luo Golf also added a gale.

Seychelles ordered the soldiers and tried to control the direction of the matter.

Captain Seychelles! This matter concerns the dignity of the kingdom, the Duke has a good reputation, and there is no delay! Look at the people around here, there will be rumors everywhere!

Thales came to him and asked eagerly:

Now, is there anyone else who wants to stop it?

————

Kongming Palace, the main palace, and the living room.

Seven hundred years ago, the first guardian duke of the South Coast Territory, the huge portrait of Leinster Cavendir Deadly Iris, hangs on the wall that will never be ignored when walking in the door, and the hanging wall hanging in the hall On the flag, there are patterns of tricolor irises everywhere.

Jann Cavendeer sat under the portrait of his ancestor with a blank face, reaching out and waving away a cup of tea brought by the butler Ashford.

My lord, the specific situation is just, that's it.

The Seychelles knight gritted his teeth and looked at Dagory Moss who was tightly bound on the ground and was still unconscious.

Seychelles glanced sideways:

His Royal Highness the Duke of Xinghu was sitting diagonally across from Zhan En, enjoying tea and grapes while admiring the portrait of the deadly iris.

That nasty little...

Jenn sighed, drawing Seychelles' attention back.

He looked at Dagoli on the ground and snorted coldly.

On the contrary, Thales, who was diagonally opposite, pouted and sipped his tea, making a rude and indecent sound, as if there was no one else around.

Jen frowned.

Doesn't the royal family teach etiquette?

Damn savages.

Two seconds later, the butler Ashford appeared quietly, took Thales' teacup away, and when he brought it back, there was an extra wooden straw on it.

For children. Ashford said with a smile.

day.

Thales put down the teacup embarrassingly, a little bit of self-defeating.

Mallos, who was standing beside Thales, said in a breathy voice, Are you sure you want to do this?

Thales coughed, turned his head and covered his mouth lightly:

Our top priority is to gain a firm foothold in this hostile town, instead of being ignorant and beaten...

I can hear you, Your Highness. Zhan En's unbearable voice came from his ear.

Thales sat upright in embarrassment, and picked up the teacup again:

Well, do you have scented tea? Come on, Thor, you have a whole cup too. It's unbelievable that I can finally drink tea that is neither bitter nor strong...

Jen sighed heavily.

Seychelles, take the prisoner down.

The frustrated Seychelles bowed their heads.

Sure enough, the voice of the damned boy next to him started crackling again:

Ah, don't you want to go to trial? Let the whole Emerald City have a look...

We have scented tea here, Zhan En suppressed his temper, There are teas from all over the world, so can you concentrate on tasting it, Your Highness?

Thales nodded hehe:

certainly.

Seychelles and his subordinates were about to escort Dagoli away when Thales suddenly looked up again:

uh-huh?

The um-hum made them stagnate again.

A few seconds later, Jen exhaled again:

Seychelles, be gentle.

Thales smiled happily and waved Mallos to leave:

Thor, let it go, and make this our home, our home.

These words deepened the gully on Zhan En's forehead.

Soon, the huge living room became empty, leaving only Thales and Jen En.

And the deadly iris on that portrait.

I knew this trick wouldn't trouble you.

As soon as the door was closed, Zhan En spoke softly.

However, what greeted him was——

Clap!

There was a crisp sound.

Zhan En frowned and looked at the debris on the ground: That's a porcelain cup imported from Donglu.

I know, pay off the debt from last time.

In the next second, Thales faded his smile:

what do you mean?

Zhan En sneered: I should ask this question, you came to my city...

You, you let that wine merchant with a criminal record approach me, Thales stopped talking nonsense and met Zhan En's eyes, so he knew I was coming, including the little earl who was dueling for love. Know I'll be there waiting to come into town.

Jen snorted lightly.

And you, Your Highness, you know that he has problems, but you still accept him into your team?

Reminds me of that veteran I sent to your team seven years ago—what's his name, Jason?

The gazes of the Duke of Star Lake and the Duke of South Bank met in the air. They were equally cold and sharp, but also reserved.

It's like the opening round of a sword fight.

His name is Genard—how dare you mention that.

Thales was expressionless.

I accepted Moss because I guessed that he was sent by you, and it might be useful to keep him—of course, what happened later confirmed my guess.

You guessed it? Zhan En smiled sarcastically, Or did you already know?

It doesn't matter anymore, Thales shook his head. The important thing is that Moss is indeed your man and has been serving you for many years.

My people have checked Dagory Moss's asset accounts in recent years, Zhan En did not deny, but he did not show any weakness. What you should do is to go abroad immediately, hide your name in this life, and don’t let me find him again, instead of volunteering to be a spy by your side—that’s not normal, right?”

Damn occult.

Thales cursed in his heart.

You are really here to trick me.

His face remained calm:

But according to him, you forced him to come to me.

Jen sneered and said:

I bet if I ask him to interrogate him now, he will snot and cry and say that you actually forced him to betray me.

not me.

Thales secretly said.

But...it seems to be about the same.

So this time, I suspect that he belongs to you, and you suspect that he belongs to me. We have lost both sides, and we are making fun of ourselves?

Jann didn't answer.

But after a few seconds, his eyes sharpened

I know what you're up to, my lord.

Do you think that if you instigate a pawn under the Emerald City, you can come to my territory to play wild, from the inside out, follow the vine?

Thales frowned.

Jen snorted coldly:

This chessboard is not yours, and it is more complicated than you imagined.

I'll repeat the words. You thought that sending a sword at the royal banquet could hit the weak point directly and make me look good? Thales retorted, Now, I'm here to ask for interest.

Jen smiled.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed a stack of letters from the side, and threw them in front of Thales:

You mean this?

Thales frowned, he recognized it.

It was a breeding letter sent by King Kessel on his behalf-compared to the one sent to the Arend family, the title and signature seem to have been changed.

It's really rough.

In addition, there is one of his...

This portrait isn't very good, Thales raised the corners of his lips, You know, I grow up very fast.

But the other party didn't mean to be joking.

I don't care what you're here for, Thales.

I don't care if you come to trouble me or seek death, Zhan En threatened, but if you want to come, then I will give you a welcome, just like today. If you want to live, then I will give you... a commensurate Treat—until you get off my turf.

entertain.

Thales curled his lips inwardly.

poor guy.

Does he know?

Coming here by oneself is not just a matter of asking for trouble.

It was far from a personal grudge.

At that moment, Thales vaguely felt the heaviness of the bone ring in his pocket.

You have come to destroy him.

The voice in my heart said.

For the stars.

Jen, tell me, Thales said after a long silence, you and I, we have to be hostile to each other, do you live or die?

At that moment, the prince's tone was a little low.

Jen caught this, and his eyebrows moved slightly.

What do you say?

Thales sighed and put down his portrait.

Well, Jen, actually, the first thing I did when I came here...

Don't even think about it, Zhan En shook his head lightly, Si Lai is not in the city, you can't see her.

Actually, I want to say, I'm here to apologize, Jen.

Jen frowned.

Apologize?

What happened at the royal banquet... I understand your anger. You probably think that I am going to attack your sister as soon as I return to the country. I am retaliating against you and provoking you? So you want to fight back?

This time, Zhan En looked at him for a long time, seemingly surprised, but also full of vigilance:

but?

Thales took a deep breath: But—to state in advance, I still hold a grudge against you using blood to assassinate me—but this, your sister?

The prince held up the mating letter and said sincerely:

I swear, it wasn't my intention, I didn't even write this letter myself.

Jen stared at him and snorted softly:

If not, how can you show your contempt and provocation?

Well, if I wrote it myself, will it make you feel better?

Won't.

That's right.

The two people in the living room were silent for a while, as if they were thinking about something.

Anyway, about this, I apologize, Thales spoke first, and he shook his head, I swear, this was my father's idea, and I didn't know it beforehand. In fact, I only knew the truth not long ago. But please believe it , I don't intend to covet your sister, let alone take revenge on you——I haven't acted like that.

Zhan En stared at him, looking inquiringly, before making a sound after a long while.

Why should I trust you?

Because you know me as I know you.

You don't know me, Jan denied, not at all.

Then you must trust me, too.

Thales restrained his expression: For what I'll tell you next.

And that is?

Thales took a deep breath.

Listen, Jann Cavendir. I have received quite reliable information, the Duke of Star Lake said seriously, At this moment in the Emerald City, someone is trying to harm you.

The living room fell silent.

Jen looked at him and suddenly smiled.

I know this trick: Someone is going to kill me, and you happen to be able to help, the Duke of South Bank sneered, So in order to survive, I'd better cooperate with you and love each other?

Thales let out a breath, feeling a little helpless.

Well, it's my father.

His words made Zhan En's expression change.

I saw Thales leaning forward, looking straight into Zhan En's eyes very seriously:

The High King of the Star Kingdom, Kessel V, wants to do bad things to the Emerald City - bad things to you.

At this moment, at this moment, here.

With the majesty of the king.

At that moment, the time flowing in the hall was like being hammered heavily, breaking the balance and making it no longer uniform.

Jen remained expressionless.

But his eyes were fixed on Thales' face, and he never moved away for a long time.

It was almost more unbearable than the covenant in Thales' pocket.

Thales felt a little thirsty, but when he lowered his head, he remembered that his cup of tea had already been smashed to pieces.

He could only sigh.

So yes, in order to survive, Jen, you'd better cooperate with me on a blind date—

Telston paused.

Well, just cooperate.

Jen didn't speak.

He just looked at Thales' face carefully over and over again.

It's as if there is some code that needs to be cracked.

that's all.

Finally, Thales couldn't stand the sight, he stood up:

If you want to know more, if you're still interested, you know I live in — well, I don't even know where I live now.

at this moment.

How do you prove, Jen En said softly, your father?

Thales smiled.

That wine merchant, if what we said is true, then I think he was sent by you, and you think he was rebelled by me, Thales shrugged, But whether he dares to return to the Emerald City Facing you, or he came to spy on me voluntarily, there are some reasons behind it that don't make sense.

Thales' voice suddenly tightened:

There's only one explanation.

Jen narrowed his eyes:

Kingdom Secrets.

Thales smiled.

You're not stupid.

As far as I know, my father wrote you this letter of courtship in my name. As far as I know, he sent it to no less than ten families. Thales spread his hands and gestured to the display in Kongming Palace, But here I am, the Emerald City.

The lines on Zhan En's face gradually disappeared, and no emotion could be seen.

Do you think it's because he likes the Emerald Celebration? Or because he likes you?

Zhan En didn't speak, he looked straight ahead with a calm expression.

Just like the ancestors behind you.

Thales couldn't wait any longer, he sighed:

Okay, so let's get back to business: where does your sister live?

Jen's eyes moved, and they stabbed Thales like sharp knives.

Just a joke, Thales had to raise his hands in surrender, see if you're still alive.

But Zhan En's eyes are still sharp, which is unbearable.

Thales smiled awkwardly, and walked towards the door.

Go to Ashford.

Thales stopped in his tracks and turned around.

He will arrange a room for you, as well as a new teacup. The owner of Emerald City said calmly.

Thank you. Thales raised his eyebrows.

Jen didn't look at him again.

The Duke of South Bank just lowered his head again, looking at the pile of broken porcelain on the ground.

They lay helplessly on the floor tiles of the Kongming Palace, all alone.

never complete.

And one more thing: Hilley's out of town.

Jen said lightly:

This sentence is true.

————

Your Highness?

Mallos followed Thales who walked out of the living room.

We're safe.

The smile on Thales' face disappeared:

For the time being, there will be no more jealous little nobles coming to duel with me, or any bad businessmen coming to seek refuge with me.

Just temporarily?

Thales glanced at him: Don't be so demanding, Thor, do you know what the most difficult thing in the world is?

Well, keep a questionable wine merchant out of the line?

Thales took a deep breath: Can you not ridicule me for even one day?

Of course, Your Highness. The most difficult thing, let me think about it, based on your experience just now, I guess it is, lying?

Yes, but not, Thales snorted coldly, The most difficult thing is to mix the truth with lies, and then embed the lies into the truth.

Mallos slightly bent his lips: It doesn't sound like something a human can do.

Isn't it—are you calling me inhuman?

I dare not. I mean, only His Highness can do such a difficult thing.

You really are scolding me.

Your Highness is very smart.

How did you manage to not use a single dirty word, which looks like a compliment but is actually a curse?

It's not about me.

You... scolding me again?

Your Highness is as wise as ever.
