Passive Inheritance System for All Occupations

However, although she felt that her shame was about to explode, as she continued to sip her tea, Stephanie gradually felt the feeling that Chen Mo said.

The sweetness hidden under the strong bitterness, the elegant tea fragrance lingering between the mouth and nose and rhythm with the breath... If you can get used to this extremely bitter taste, maybe it is really as rare as he said Tea?

After Stephanie finished drinking tea, Chen Mo sat across from the chess and card table again, and reached out to take out a deck of playing cards from his pocket.

"Do you still want to play?"

Seeing Chen Mo's actions, Stephanie couldn't help being stunned: "But I don't have any extra energy now."

"Don't worry, it's different this time."

Chen Mo comforted Stephanie with a smile, and spread out all the cards, and randomly drew out two adjacent nine and ten cards, put the nine in front of him, and handed the ten to Stephanie.

"You are..." Taking the cards from Chen Mo, Stephanie became more and more confused.

"It's a very simple game, bet big or small, if I lose, I will give you back your [freedom]—forever."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he picked up his poker card from the table, turned his fingers slightly, and the nine o'clock on the front immediately turned to the position facing Stephanie.

He didn't say what would happen if he won.

Nine against ten, he would definitely lose.

When Stephanie heard Chen Mo's words, her mind froze for a moment.

"You, are you... Are you kidding me? Or..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Mo raised his right hand and said calmly, "Swear to the covenant."

free……

Stephanie's eyes became dazed.

There is no doubt that she was able to regain the throne with Chen Mo's assistance and deter those ministers who harbored evil intentions. But so far, she has become a qualified virtuous king with great power in her hands. The officials bowed their heads, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment, and the whole of Elchea became prosperous and full of vitality under her governance.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Mo has almost lost any role for Stephanie.

Logically speaking, she should be very eager to regain her freedom now.

But why...why didn't she feel any joy in her heart?

On the contrary, there was a kind of sadness that she couldn't tell where it came from, which was slightly hurting her heart.

"I...I refuse..."

Stephanie lowered her head with some guilt, her weak voice trembling: "I can't do ungrateful things... If it weren't for you, I would never be able to take back Grandpa's throne, so, so..."

Is it really because you don't want to be ungrateful?

Stephanie didn't dare to think about it at all, because even she didn't believe what she said.

But she bit the bullet and said it.

Because she didn't want to regain her freedom... Thinking of Chen Mo wanting to let go of the chains that bound her, Stephanie felt that she couldn't even breathe, and her chest felt as heavy as a heavy stone.

"is that so……"

Chen Mo looked directly at the guilty expression on Stephanie's face calmly, and then he continued: "Then, Your Majesty, this is the last time I will exercise my [Master] rights and issue [Orders] to you."

"Order……?"

Stephanie's heart trembled suddenly.

The next moment, I heard Chen Mo's indifferent voice: "Play the game with me again, Your Majesty."

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The balcony garden with excellent lighting position in the king's bedroom ushered in the first milky white sun in the sky.

On the big, spacious and soft bed, the pillows were in a mess. Stephanie stared at the ceiling in a trance and dull way. The extremely light dark circles under her eyes proved the fact that she hadn't slept all night.

Couldn't sleep... There seemed to be a big empty hole in her heart, making it impossible for her to fall asleep no matter what.

Looking down from the ceiling slowly, on the white silk bed sheet, two poker cards with nine and ten o'clock overlapped and overlapped each other, and a hairpin was quietly resting on the cards.

Light pink, printed with blue and white spots, petal-shaped barrette.

Staring at this hairpin for a long time, Stephanie's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and she turned her head to look out of the balcony. At this moment, it is the twilight sky, and the milky white morning light dispels the misty night, illuminating the whole world .

There is night and there is day.

And the day passes, and the night will come again.

But no matter how the day and night change, there will never be the same starry sky as last night.

Chapter 44 I've Always Been Involuntarily Drifting Pinker

The other side of the horizon, the end of the ocean and the sky... Although it is unreasonable to say this on a geometrically spherical planet, in fact this is a place worthy of the name "the end of the world".

Because the one who lives here is the undisputed ruler of the entire world.

——The only god, Tetu.

The boy, as he was called, was sitting on top of the king piece at the moment, playing a game of chess by himself.

"Clap! Clap!"
