It was nearly noon when we returned to the Earl's Court, and Vivien had prepared lunch for us, and I, Libinglan, Vivien, and Gasha Liuli sat down around the meal, and the banquet was full of laughter and joy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Being with the woman I love gives me a sense of happiness and fulfillment – I hope that these happy days will last forever, and that it will never end.

Maybe my life has always been insulated from happiness! Therefore, when this happiness really came to me, it made me feel that it was a dream-like unreality, and I was afraid that the so-called happiness was just a fleeting thing in my life.

Looking at the smiling three daughters, I thought: if this is just a deep sweet dream, then let me never wake up, if there is really a dream to wake up, I hope that it will be the end of my life.

After the meal, Li Binglan was full of praise for Vivian's cooking, but Garsha Liuli protested dissatisfiedly: Why does my sister only praise Vivian, I also have help! Vivien, don't you say?

Vivian smiled and nodded: Sister Liuli also made a lot of efforts.

Seeing my surprised and strange expression, Garsha Ruri glared at me, crossed her waist and raised her chest and said to me angrily: What? You don't believe it!?

I said with a smile: I'm sure you'll help, but it's just a disservice.

Gartha Ruri wanted to have a seizure, but she smiled embarrassedly, and said weakly: I just accidentally broke twenty plates and thirty bowls......

I said angrily: I know! You've done a lot of work – smashing bottles and cans.

What do you mean by that? I cook kindly, but you don't appreciate it......

Oh, I think you're too bored to have fun in the kitchen. I said in a long voice.

Seeing my disapproving expression, Garsha Ruri was angry, blowing her eyebrows and glaring, as if she wanted to have a seizure.

Li Binglan comforted: Alex, you just say a few words! Sister Liuli cooks for you.

My sister is reasonable, not like someone who has a rogue face all day long! It's a big loss to have a perfect person like my sister commit to him!

Hearing Li Binglan say this, Gasha Liuli immediately became happy, but stuck out her tongue at me and said disdainfully: "The ghost will cook for you himself!" Don't be wrong!

Gartha's anger came and went as fast as it came, and after a while she asked me without any trouble: Alex, you have been gone all morning, has anything great happened?

Li Binglan explained to them in detail what had happened in the hall on my behalf, and announced our wedding for the next month, skipping the secret conversation with the Emperor.

Gartha Ruri and Vivien first expressed their surprise at the change in the main hall, and then they blessed us with the news of the marriage.

Li Binglan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Alex, why don't you take this opportunity to marry Liuli and Vivian together!"

I nodded in agreement, but said, "I have the same idea, but I don't know what Vivien and Liuli think?"

Then, I said to Gartha Glass and Vivian with a serious expression: Vivian, Glass, I am here to sincerely propose to the two of you!

Vivien blushed with shame, and her gaze at me was rippling with emotion, and her heart was self-evident; But Gasha Ruri bit her lower lip lightly, bowed her head and said nothing, but her demeanor was very willing.

Li Binglan saw that the two of them were embarrassed to say it clearly, so she said: Then I, the elder sister, will take the idea for the two sisters to agree to Alex's proposal! If the two sisters don't speak, they agree!

The marriage is finalized, and I will officially marry the three of us next month.

After that, Vivien and Gatha Glass knew that I had something to do with Lieberland, so they thoughtfully left together and went into the room to talk about their hearts. The two are of the same age and have been together for a long time, so they are as close as sisters. Although they and Li Binglan can get along well, after all, there is a difference in age, and Li Binglan naturally exudes a majestic aura and a cold demeanor, so in addition to being cordial, the two still have a sense of awe for Li Binglan, but it is not so natural.

After leaving me and Li Binglan alone, Li Binglan said to me in a solemn manner: Alec, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, I hope you can tell me calmly. We're going to be husband and wife, and in my heart, you're already my husband, and I don't want to be suspicious of each other. At that time, were you really powerless to stop Aruton from leaving?

I sighed and said, "I know I can't hide it from you, and you're going to ask me sooner or later...... Yes, I was able to keep Aruton at the time, at the risk of a certain amount – but I didn't. Christfan is one of the most formidable opponents I've ever met, but he doesn't have enough to stop me—he's not a Kamiu after all! I did have a wit at the time: the reason why I deliberately let Aruton and the others go was, on the one hand, because I did not want to see a strong and unified empire, which was a great obstacle to my future goals; On the other hand, the more important reason is for the safety of you and me, only by leaving a strong enough opponent, you and I will have the value of existence in the emperor's mind. I don't want to tell you because I don't want to put you in a dilemma between me and the emperor...... Binglan, can you forgive me?

After listening to my words, Li Binglan said solemnly: Alec, I understand your intentions! The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook; All the birds are flying, and the good bow is hidden - this is the ancient wisdom of wisdom, and we must not guard against it. In the court turmoil, even if they are like father and son, they can turn against each other and destroy people's morals - there are living examples in front of them. Although Your Majesty is kind to us, the weight of you and I in Your Majesty's hearts is not as important as that of Sheji after all! Punishing meritorious heroes and protecting the emperor's unity, this is not uncommon in all dynasties, and the alternation of the old and the new is still violent!

Alec, you can have this intention, which means that you have truly grown! I have no blame for you, only joy. I am glad that you can be honest with me, and I hope you will not worry about my feelings. In this world, you are the only person who treats Binglan sincerely, and you are the only love of Binglan in her previous life, this life, and future life! Whether you are on the right or wrong path, I will support you wholeheartedly! No matter who it is, as long as it is someone who wants to hurt you, it is Binglan's enemy who is different from Dai Tian, even if this person is His Majesty himself! You can give up everything and your life for me, why can't I give up everything, even my life, for you? Although Your Majesty is deeply grateful to me and has a father-daughter affection for Binglan, I have used eleven years of life and death to repay the empire and Your Majesty, and I almost sacrificed the happiness of Binglan's life - the kindness that should be repaid has been doubled! From now on, I only pursue my own happiness and life, and I exist only for you!

Hearing Li Binglan's true confession, I couldn't help but be moved to tears, and held Li Binglan in my arms and said emotionally: Binglan, Binglan! You show me a piece of jade pot ice heart, and I will tell it with a blazing child!

Li Binglan's delicate body in my arms squirmed, and she was hot, raised her face and kissed my chin lightly, and said: Alex, are you determined to unify the Shenglun Continent?

I nodded, kissed her back, and said resolutely: God has given me a strange gift, I should do something on this continent, so that this life will be in vain! Unifying the continent of S. Lun, creating a peaceful and prosperous world for all races, challenging the gods, and regaining the sovereignty of mankind and all races—this is the stated goal of Arri! For the sake of all my companions, for the sake of the dead and alive, for the sake of those who love me and those I love, and for the sake of comforting the heroic soul of Teacher Vitan, I can only take this bloody road of kings that cannot be turned back! Binglan, I can't turn back, otherwise all the blood and dead lives will become meaningless!

Alex, aren't you an aesthete? Isn't that contrary to your purpose in life? Are you not going to give up your love of beauty and throw yourself into the bloody and ugly torrent?

No...... All good things need to be protected by strong enough power! Protecting the people I love is protecting the existence of beauty that I cherish the most! In this world created by the gods, all living beings are nothing more than animals grazed by the gods, whitewashing the ugly existence with false beauty! The only way to attain the eternity of true beauty is to break the aura of false beauty! I firmly believe that in the land of St. Lun, where blood flows, the most beautiful flowers will bloom!

Flower of Blood - the red that washes away sin and is reborn from blood and fire. Lotus blossom! Li Binglan said faintly, maybe you will become the creator of destiny, and become a great existence like the god of creation...... No matter whether you are a mortal or a god in the future, I will be willing to accompany you and have no regrets in this life!

I hugged Li Binglan tightly and said: Binglan, I want to take the opportunity of the big wedding to transfer part of Meinster's troops to the imperial capital!

Are you afraid of Your Majesty...... Li Binglan, who was in her arms, said with a slightly pale face.

The heart of heaven is unpredictable! Although His Majesty the Emperor is currently adding officials to us, giving us marriage, and the Holy Family is in full glory, at this sensitive moment, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor is not openly appeased, and secretly has suspicions! I can't afford to be more prepared to be safe! It is so difficult for us to meet again, I must not hate it for the rest of my life because of a trace of lightness!

Li Binglan was stunned for a long time before she said solemnly: "Alex, I understand your worries, and it is necessary to be more prepared. I have been with His Majesty for a long time—twenty years of friendship between kings and ministers have given me an understanding of His Majesty's temperament: His Majesty is a wolf with a wolf's voice, and an eagle listens to an ape...... His Majesty has never been merciful in matters of interest, as in his mothers and muses. Yujia is a couple, although they are close friends, they also ruthlessly break up the mandarin ducks, and every time they regret it, it has been a matter of time...... Binglan can also be used as a pawn to divide Aruton and Etiria, regardless of my feelings, even for Aruton, Etiria, and James's own children, and then from the fierceness and breadth of His Majesty's treatment of the rebels......

At this time, the afternoon sky suddenly turned gloomy, and the sky was covered with dark gray clouds, which seemed to be weighing heavily on the hearts of Li Binglan and me, so heavy that we were a little breathless.

A gust of cold wind blew into the courtyard through Lin Wan of the Earl's Palace, blowing up pieces of fallen leaves, and then there was a sound of a bird flapping its wings, followed by a few mournful cries of birds, which made people's hearts feel cold.

Although we were in a warm room, Li Binglan and I both felt a chill in our hearts, and we couldn't help hugging each other tightly and absorbing the heating from each other.

I thought you were discussing something? It turns out that the two of you are in love! The door to the inner room opened, and Gartha Ruri reached in and grimaced at us, Vivien, look! The two of them are not tired of me all day long!

Gartha Ruri said as she beckoned behind her.

Vivien's little head also stretched out, but said softly, "Alec, sister, have we disturbed you?" I made some dessert and wanted you to eat it together.

Let them mix together, Li Binglan and I temporarily put aside the gloom in our hearts and felt cheerful.

I let go of Li Binglan, smiled and beckoned to them: Come in together! Glass goblin! And Vivien, you'll be following her too!

Is it really okay? Gasha asked as she asked, and her front foot had already stepped into the hall door.

I'm going to bring you desserts...... Vivien said.

Don't worry! Vivian, you come in too, and we'll have dessert later...... I have something to say to you, I replied.

After the two of them came in and sat down, Garsha Ruri seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask: Why did you suddenly become so serious, how boring! Alex, why do you have a poker face?

I solemnly explained to the two of them what I discussed with Li Binglan, and finally said: The imperial capital may change!

Then let's just run away! With the footsteps of the Lei Ministry, no one wants to catch up with us, and we can't afford to stay in the imperial capital and suffer! As long as we leave the imperial capital and return to Meinstere, no one will want to harm us! Garsha Ruri said.

It's nowhere near that bad, and it's just speculation, maybe it's just unfounded and nothing will happen! I tell you this so that you can have a solid foundation in your heart and be prepared to deal with it. I shook my head and said.

Then, I said to Gasha Ruri in an unusually serious tone: Ruri, I have something important to tell you! I remember that I once told you that it was because the people of the Jialan Temple were shocked to appear in the imperial capital that Aruton and the others were able to escape? That man was the high priest of the temple of Garam, and the secret messenger of the same name as Aaron's poem......

Does this have anything to do with me? Gartha asked with a blank expression.

I nodded, and continued: The man's name was Kristvan...... If my guess is correct, in addition to being a cleric of the Jialan Temple, that person also has another identity - the third prince of the Tranches Empire, Christfan. Trunkis!

Hearing this nightmare-like name, Garsha Ruri's whole body trembled violently, her face became pale as paper, and her lips twitched, and she wanted to say anything, but she couldn't say a word.

I walked up to her, grabbed her fragrant shoulders from behind the seat, and let her head rest lightly on my body, before saying, "Ruri, please cheer up...... I'm going to be heartbroken if you do this...... I've never been afraid to tell you because I'm afraid you'll have this reaction...... Only by facing up to the existence of nightmares and finding ways to eliminate them can we have the courage to live and the confidence to survive...... Escaping is not the way to go!

Gasha Ruri squirmed two white lips and sobbed in a low voice: Alex...... Are you sure it's him?

Although he did not identify himself, and although Krisfan was not a very special name, it was not uncommon on the mainland, but, my gut told me, it was that man! Except for that person, I believe that there is no one in the world who has such a cold momentum and a blood-devouring smile like a demon! Glass...... I'm sorry...... At that time, I didn't have a chance to eliminate him, but I also had a reason why I had to let him go for the time being—first, I had to leave Aruton and the others to balance the empire to ensure our safety, and second, if I killed the high priest of the Jialan Temple, it would cause an uproar in the Holy Lun Continent. At present, I don't have the strength to resist the temple, so I have to calm down...... I promise you, Liuli—one day, I will sacrifice the blood of Christfan to the spirits of your parents and avenge you and your people! Glass...... I could have kept this matter a secret from you, but I, as my wife and beloved woman, decided to tell you everything...... Can you forgive me?

Gartha was distracted for a moment before she grabbed my hand, shrugged her shoulders, choked up, and said, "Alex...... There's always a compelling reason for what you do...... I don't blame you and trust your promises! You never lied to me......

In the evening, Van, Warnon. Roy, Robe, Zolachi, Joseph, and others visited together, and even Kasta, who had appeared as my stand-in on the night of the wedding feast and completed the mission of attracting Aruton's attention and booby-trapping five hundred of Ettiria's dead, appeared in the mansion as if he had disappeared.

Everyone received the news that Li Binglan and I had been rewarded and married, and they came to congratulate them, so there was another lively scene.

While I was full of wine and food, I revealed some information about the crisis to everyone, explaining that they should pay close attention to the current situation in the imperial capital, mobilize all the forces at their disposal, and beware of the unexpected.

After sending everyone away, Casta saw me alone.

Your Majesty, the family teacher wants to meet you alone!

Your teacher is ...... I suddenly remembered that Casta had said that when he came to the imperial capital, he met his teacher again and followed him to learn swordsmanship again, but because of his busy schedule, I never asked who his teacher was.

Now, what is the purpose of this man with whom I have never met when he says he wants to see me?

The tutor is Ka Miao......

Yes! It's him?!

I was stunned, I didn't think that Ka Miao was Kasta's swordsmanship teacher!

As for Kasta's strength, since I haven't witnessed his performance so far, I don't know his depth, but from the relationship between him and the ultimate Sword Saint disciple, it is speculated that he definitely has the strength of the Great Sword Saint or even the Sword Saint! The so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, will the disciples trained by Ka Miao be bad?

I hadn't seen him since he mysteriously appeared in my bedroom that night—on the night of the wedding reception, I had only heard him but not seen him, and subconsciously I had a tendency to forget the name as much as possible. I always have a chilling feeling when I think of the name Ka Miao, not only because he is the most formidable opponent I have ever faced, so strong that it is beyond human imagination, I am afraid that he has reached the level of a god, and even he can use the god barrier, which even the gods fear—for the first time since leaving the Lost Forest, I have felt powerless and frustrated in the face of an invincible opponent; And because of the warmth of that night, the strange sexual orientation, it also made me feel troubled.

But without Ka Miao's help, I wouldn't have been able to rescue Li Binglan. In the whole wedding banquet, Ka Miao played a very important role, although he did not make a formal move, but he controlled the situation in the shadows. And that night, he obtained half of the Silvertassel Knights' talismans from me, and obtained the other half of the talismans from the emperor, and then released Tsykov by the emperor's edict, so that he easily concealed the ears and eyes of Aruton and others, so that Tsykov successfully mastered the complete talismans, quickly mobilized the 100,000 generals of the Silver Tassel Knights, appeared as a strange soldier, controlled the overall situation of the imperial capital with lightning speed, and completely disintegrated the arrangement of Arutun, Ettiria and others, and the pattern of the imperial capital underwent a major reversal. Ka Miao just swiped and flicked his fingers, and Aruton's power in the imperial capital, which was only one step away from the throne, fell like dominoes - it can be seen that Ka Miao's horror is not just about force!

However, Ka Miao's performance all the time made it difficult for me to understand his true intentions. He never intervened directly in the disputes of the Empire, but only indirectly from the perspective of a bystander, and his identity was mysterious, and his relationship with the royal family of Faratis was so mysterious that even Nam Chambuqi II kept it secret. A mysterious powerhouse on the land of Shenglun, a strange man with countless myths and legends, and a man who is like the embodiment of a beautiful god but has a peculiar sexual preference...... What is the purpose of this man now that he wants to see me alone?

When? I swept my cold gaze over Casta's face and into the sky outside the window, and the look on my face was clouded by the gloomy sky.

Tomorrow......

At this moment, a dazzling white lightning suddenly crossed the gray sky, and in this instant, our pupils were reflected white, and then, a thunderclap sounded.

This is the first spring thunder in the imperial capital...... In the rolling thunder, I said quietly.
