Reject me, hateful woman

It was a middle-aged nobleman who looked elegant.

Brown dress, elegant and wise aura, gold monocle, and no magic power fluctuations on his body.

However, her always keen intuition told Elena that this person was very dangerous.

Because she found that even if she tried hard to activate her mind-reading talent, she couldn't hear any voice in the man's heart.

It was as if... this man did not exist, but an empty cave stood there.

But now, after the Boer family leader was defeated, the void suddenly became active, moving towards Lin En with a sense of confidence and oppression.

Linn also noticed this man.

The male fox of the imperial capital, the head of the Morris family, Mosiati Morris.

"Good evening, Your Highness Linn."

Mosiati bowed slightly to Linn.

"Uncle Maurice, are you here because of Uncle Bol's affairs?"

Linn ignored his greeting and said directly.

Mosiati couldn't help but laugh.

Very smart, very direct, no nonsense, he enjoys this kind of duel between smart people.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"That's it."

Linn nodded clearly, reached into his pocket, took out a white glove, and threw it on the ground at Mosiati's feet.

"In this case, we have to fight in front of the emperor."

Morris:?

Is it too direct?

Why is it different from what I thought!

"Your Highness Lin En..."

Mosiati frowned and was about to speak, but Linn interrupted him and kept on saying:

"The duel method is based on the Holy Examination."

"Holy test?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the venue changed their expressions, even Elena was no exception.

Mosiati smiled and immediately changed his words:

"...It's simply too wise!"

I'm still worried, Your Highness.

The prey is still trapped.

"But the Holy Exam requires Her Majesty the Queen's approval. Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

As soon as Mosiati finished speaking, suddenly, the door at the end of the banquet hall was pushed open forcefully.

As if with a figure that seemed to have substantial majesty and dignity, he slowly walked into the venue.

"Your Majesty the Queen, here you go~"

In the shadow behind the door, Quinn leaned against the door frame and laughed softly.

..........

A few minutes ago, in the room upstairs.

The moonlight passed through the window lattice, leaving mottled light spots in the empty room, like a moonlight rain.

Quinn was sitting on the window sill, her beautiful body curves seemed more delicate in the moonlight. She was playing with a strand of silver hair, but the expression on her face was extremely intoxicating, as if she was listening to a beautiful opera.

It was indeed right to let Linn be the protagonist of tonight's banquet, but not every boring social banquet after the Dragon Blood Ceremony can be so interesting.

Suddenly, Quinn's eyes flashed with fierceness, and she turned to look at the tall figure standing under the portraits of the past kings: "Your Majesty, the Shadow Knights have responded."

Tivera Norton, as the only empress since the founding of the Purple Flower Empire, made a brief appearance at the beginning of the dinner, and then came to the room where the portraits of nine previous dragon-blooded emperors were hung, and never left.

Nine majestic or majestic portraits of the late kings are lined up in a row, each sitting on their own thrones facing the empress from a distance, as if they are examining the only empress who can stand alongside them, and as if urging her to make a decision. Some kind of determination.

"speak."

After hearing Quinn's reply, the empress uttered a word lightly.

"The shadow knights who monitor the mansion where the Duke of Northland's bodyguards live have been responding on time. There are currently no unusual movements among the Duke of Northland's bodyguards."

This was strange enough. It was already halfway through the dinner, and Reinhardt, the old lion, actually didn't move at all. He was as calm as if he really came to the banquet to see his son.

However, because the news that followed was so explosive, Reinhardt's unusual behavior seemed a bit insignificant.

"While the heads of the five major families were away, the Shadow Knights who secretly searched the secret strongholds of the five major families sent a reply. They found a lot of ritual tools specially used by the arcane masters of the 'Tower' from the stronghold. It has been confirmed that the heads of the five major families and the tower We have been in contact for a long time, but..."

Quinn showed a troubled expression, and the empress slowly turned her head.

"The people who occasionally resisted were basically the die-hard combat power recorded by the five major families in the official records. We did not find any arcanists from the tower."

The queen nodded.

No wonder Quinn is so solemn.

Weaving arcana is like lighting up the stars in the endless starry sky. Different lighting methods will inevitably reflect the stars in the eyes of observers very differently.

Arcanists in many countries have their own unique rituals. As the most powerful arcanist organization in the mainland, the Magic Clock Tower is no exception.

Only when rituals are used correctly can those ritual tools play their due role, otherwise they will be nothing more than scrap metal.

Since the five major families have those frighteningly expensive ritual tools, they naturally wouldn't buy them specifically for collection.

So, where is the initiator of the ceremony?

What about the arcanists loyal to the tower?

where are they?

Where will the ritual equipment prepared with great effort and risk of exposure be used?

The answer seems obvious.

"I suggest that your Majesty return to the imperial city now. I will issue a secret order. The Red Dragon Legion will soon surround this place. None of those scum can escape!"

Quinn's tone was more solemn than ever before, which was the best way to handle it so far.

The royal castle outside the imperial city is no longer safe. God knows how many assassins of the Magic Clock Tower are hiding under the splendid hall.

It is common sense that the Magic Clock Tower will never suffer losses among major countries. After Purple Flower suffered consecutive losses and Soljana killed a "Ring" candidate, there was no movement in that tower.

Although Quinn never thought that the other party would give in, she never expected that the other party would actually try to assassinate an emperor just because of such a small conflict!

Quinn's eyes flashed with fear.

Almost, they succeeded.

Although I don't know what the other party's specific arrangements are, it must be extremely dangerous for the five major families who have been barely keeping peace with His Majesty to be willing to get involved.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that the Queen was indifferent, Quinn reminded her again.

This time, Her Majesty the Queen finally took action.

However, instead of retreating as Quinn thought, the Queen just shook her head calmly.

"No."

"Why, Your Majesty, the situation is urgent and now is not the time to care about face."

Quinn gritted her teeth and said.

"No, Quinn, I understand what you mean, but you don't understand what I mean."

"You want to use the Red Dragon Army and Shadow Knights to defeat the opponent's army."

The empress said lightly.

Quinn was startled for a moment, then nodded.

She really thought so.

The empire's most elite Red Dragon Legion is stationed near the royal capital, and coupled with the shadow knights already ambushed in the venue, they will definitely make the opponent pay a high price.

"But you think it's too simple."

The empress shook her head,

"Although the Red Dragon Legion is my direct force and will not be contaminated by other forces, it is easy to monitor the movements of a legion. As soon as the legion moves, those insects will receive the information immediately, and there will be no time."

Quinn clenched her teeth secretly.

The empress was right.

The frontal combat capability of the Red Dragon Legion is not inferior to that of the powerful Arcanists, but the mobility of the Legion is absolutely impossible to compare with the versatile Arcanists.

Especially the Magic Clock Tower, which claims to have collected all the forbidden magic in the continent. Before the legions arrived, they had ten thousand ways to escape.

"So, we have to make them reluctant to escape, make them risk their lives, and still risk their lives."

The empress' tone remained calm, but Quinn couldn't help but stare:

"Your Majesty, do you want it?!"

"Yes,"

The empress nodded,

"As long as they are sure that I am still here, those rats will be reluctant to escape. As long as I appear in the venue, no matter how risky it is, they will try again."

"So, why are only those bastards allowed to hunt us?"

"Today, it's time to change the offensive and defensive posture."

"None of the rats who appear here tonight are allowed to run away."

"not to mention........."

The corners of the empress' lips curved slightly, and a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Even that old guy Reinhardt knows how to go to Eden College to support his unfulfilled son. How can I let my son be provoked all the time, as if he doesn't even have a parent?"

"Let's go to the banquet hall."

As she spoke, Her Majesty the Empress turned the hem of her skirt, and the red dragon hidden in the shadows finally stepped into the moonlight and headed to the banquet hall.

Behind her, Quinn was already stunned.

It's so chaotic, so crazy,

The son below wants to have a holy test duel with the leader of the noble alliance due to disagreement, and the father above wants to use himself as bait to catch a big fish that will shock the world.

Just thinking about it makes me feel...

So exciting!

Quinn clamped her legs together and barely suppressed the flush of excitement on her face.

Pretending to be a civilized person, being an aide or something like that is so boring!

I've had enough of red tape for a long time!

If you want to pursue excitement, then follow through!

Brother Lin En, your parents who love you are here~~

Chapter 111: Her Majesty the Queen is so understanding of people's hearts 4.8k

In the banquet hall, the original overwhelming sound disappeared in an instant.

The palace musicians forcibly interrupted the original music and played a solemn movement in order to cater to the arrival of the empress.

The coat that was originally draped over her shoulders in the secret room has been put away, revealing the empress's true attire tonight.

A holy golden crown, a head of dazzling red hair tied behind her head, a long crimson skirt wrapped around her tall and graceful body, and a pair of dark red stilettos.
