As one of the few people who returned to the imperial capital in advance and could enter and leave the court, Lancet had a special identity, and he was very busy at the whole ball, and before Lin An could ask, Lancet seemed to see someone and had to leave.

His steps were hurried, as if he was very eager to talk to the big nobleman who passed by, and as if he was avoiding something, he said that he was not accompanied, and without waiting for Lin An to answer, he opened the curtain and walked out.

This attitude happened for the first time in Lin An's relationship with Lanster, and Lin An could understand his anxiety about the situation at the front, not as leisurely as usual, but also a little delicate in his heart.

"Is this the price of gaining power? Will Lancet and I one day drift apart to the point where we have nothing to say? ”

As a mage, she can live behind closed doors for half a month without asking about the world, but Lanster's identity is destined to be inseparable from the whirlpool of power and countless aristocratic interactions, and the future of the gradual separation between the two can be expected, but such associations and signs make Lin An a little unhappy.

Because she was in a bad mood, Lin An didn't show up much after that, and when the dance was halfway through, she sent someone to talk to Leinster, and then went to Charles to say goodbye and ride home.

This engagement was the biggest gathering of the magnates after returning to the capital, and a lot of news circulated at the ball, because he missed the second half of the ball, and no one came to the door the next day, Lin An had no way of knowing the news that Charles announced at the ball in the second half of the ball.

So it wasn't until two days after the ball that Lin An learned from a farewell letter from a fellow honoree that the ball was later announced, and Merlin had formed a mission to the two empires, led by Charles, and the soon-to-be-married couple of Randster and Princess Elizabeth were also listed.

"Did Abraham I finally have Alzheimer's? Charles and Victoria forget it, put Douglas, Lenster and Saxon in it, do you think the lambs sent to the wolf's mouth are not fat enough? ”

The main members of the mission are Prince Charles and his wife, Prince Douglas and his wife, Princess Victoria and his wife, and the Lancets and Saxons. Or in the eyes of some people, the emperor's move can be called madness.

"No wonder the Emperor was in a hurry to urge the three fiancés to get married, and the reason why he had urged Lancet and Princess Elizabeth to rush back was probably to issue credentials and deal with the marriage of the Duchy of Stuart." Lin An narrowed a pair of phoenix eyes and muttered to himself.

After all, unlike Meryl marrying the princess, Stuart is Merlin's princess marrying the Archduke Stuart. Even though Lancet himself was in Merlin, the matter had to be duly communicated to the country, and the relevant diplomatic procedures could be settled in such a short time. Even Lin An couldn't help but admire the ability and efficiency of Merlin's diplomatic envoy - the most important thing was that Lancet must have been involved in the whole process, and he didn't even tell her the slightest rumor!

Since he sent someone to Bencent's Mansion to find Leonardo to confirm the news, half a day later, Lin An looked at Leonardo. Bencent's handwritten letter confirmed the news, and then asked the car to be prepared.

"I knew you were coming."

Meet Lin An. Ranster smiled wryly. The smile is still gentle and elegant. A trace of irritability between his eyebrows quietly dissipated after seeing Lin An.

After waiting for the waiter to serve the refreshment, he dismissed the others and poured tea for Lin An himself, knowing her preference for slightly sweet, he put half a spoonful of thick sweet milk.

"I have been hidden by you for more than half a month, and after realizing this kind of Cheng dù, I should say that fortunately I am not deaf and blind?" Lin An snorted. Demonstrate the attitude of the teacher to ask for sin.

"I didn't intend to hide this from you for too long," such a big news can't be hidden, "just to show my attitude." ”

"What attitude?" Lin An raised his eyebrows.

"After learning about this mission, His Majesty asked directly, can I convince you to join." Ranster's tone was steady, and the carved silver spoon in his hand had already put three spoonfuls of sugar and two spoonfuls of cinnamon powder into the black tea.

"You refused." This is a declarative sentence.

Lancet smiled faintly.

Lin An frowned slightly, "It seems that the war on the northern front is really critical, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor would not have made such a decision." ”

This mission, unlike in peacetime, especially when the emperor put such a heavy weight in the mission, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the danger of this envoy's visit to Wèn is a hundred times more difficult than a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

The significance of Lin An's joining the mission is of course not limited to the divine power she possesses, after all, no matter how strong she is in this regard, it is not irreplaceable, and there are a few experienced masters, Merlin can still get a few.

But the biggest difference between Lin An and ordinary powerhouses is that there is someone behind her, and the emperor actually hit her with the idea, which shows that the power of Merlin's legendary level has been put on the northern front by the emperor, which also means that this movement of the demon clan is unusual, you must know that even the great rout experienced by Lin An did not let the Azure Spear stay on the northern line for so long, as if he was guarding against the all-out counterattack of the demon clan from the legend to the soldiers.

Realizing this, it is not difficult to understand Lanster's intentions, painstakingly unwilling to pull Lin An into this danger, and hiding the news for so long, no wonder he saw him busy to that kind of Cheng dù before, and his feelings were also very unstable, obviously under too much pressure.

But what Abraham I wanted to achieve could be stopped by Ranster's statement, and Ranster's side was just one of his moves.

Thinking of the uninvited arrival of the Excellency on the day he returned home, Lin An quickly connected the two and sneered slightly:

"Actually, I didn't even bother you this time - no wonder I couldn't figure out why you and Princess Elizabeth were put in the mission."

On the first day she returned, there was already the strong man waiting on the territory, so it could be seen that escorting Elizabeth back was just an excuse.

The old fox of Alabham I had long had his eyes on her and the legend behind her, but it was Lancet and Princess Elizabeth who were involved in her marriage and release into the mission - compared to the weight of the legendary powerhouse in the current situation, the Grand Duke of Stuart was nothing.

Ranster had already thought of this possibility, and a deep haze swept through his blue eyes:

This is not the first time that he has been used as a pawn, and even the Grand Duke of a kingdom is a pawn to be abandoned in the eyes of a higher superior - he is not afraid of threats against him, but he hates to act against those around him, especially after his mother has lost her life. He had vowed never to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"I'm sorry, Lancet, I'm afraid I'm dragging you down this time."

"Things are not yet certain, not to mention the other way around, not because of my save. You're forced into danger. ”

After listening to Lin An's words, Lancet knew her decision, and what Lin An decided had always been difficult to change. Lancet was silent for a moment, "But I haven't figured out the true intentions of His Majesty yet. ”

"If he can figure out his thoughts, he won't be regarded as the number one enemy by both Pere and the Holy Empire," Lin An smiled, "but no matter how he lays out this time, it's true that he made a heavy bet." ”

Even if Charles and Victoria disappointed the emperor. Both of them have a declining status in his mind. But he threw out his four sons and daughters and his eldest grandson. No matter what the emperor's intentions were, it was enough to attract the attention of most of the three kingdoms.

"Judging from the fact that he hit you with his idea, His Majesty has no intention of treating us all as outcasts, and even if you are not as good as he wants, he will definitely increase the protection force in the mission."

This is also the reason why Lancet has the confidence to not want Lin An to get involved, even if there is no one behind Lin An, he also believes that the emperor will not sit idly by and watch their safety.

"Rest assured. Of course, I will not go along with his wishes. "Otherwise, it won't let the emperor gain an inch, Lin An showed weakness once, and the emperor tasted the sweetness, and the future of being bound by the royal family is not far away.

Lin An thought of the dim silver pentagram that he had glimpsed that day, and smiled coldly.

……

He didn't stay at Lance for long, and after more than a magical hour, Lin An took the car back to his home.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Bedika, who came to greet him, immediately informed him that Salin and the others had returned, and were picked up by the servants waiting at the south gate in a carriage.

This is the first good news I heard in the past two days, Lin An showed a smile on his face, and Bedica couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if it was contagious, so that the housekeeper and other servants on the side showed their sincere relief, and Lin An realized that unconsciously, his influence on the people in the house had reached this point.

After asking Sidney where they were, Lin An walked briskly towards the main attic.

After entering the door, she saw Sidney, Salin, John, and Angelia who had been served by the servants at a glance, but Andre and Shiryl were not among them, and the smile on Lin An's face showed surprise.

“…… They received a summons from the division on the way and immediately went back. ”

"Summons? It seems that Andre's attention to the front line is not low, and the news is really fast. ”

Lin An understood the reason as soon as he heard it, and immediately described to Salin and the others the changes in the imperial capital during this time.

During this time, Salin and the others hurried alone, the news was closed, and for the first time they heard about the changes at the front, even Sidney, who had no distractions and did not care about foreign affairs, stayed.

Although the mage claims to be a person from outside the world, he also knows very well that when turmoil sweeps the continent, no one can stay out of it.

After listening to Lin Andao's narration, no one spoke immediately until Salin broke the silence.

"And what about your decision? What do you want to do? ”

They are just small people, they have not entered the sight of the superiors, and among the companions who can have an impact on the overall situation, the Andre brothers and sisters have been recalled by the division, and now the only one to worry about is Lin An.

But the situation faced by Lin An was not ordinarily complicated, with the mission on one side and the pentagram on the other, and Salin couldn't figure out the emperor's intentions for a while.

"Why bother thinking about it so complicated, I've already decided." Lin An showed a hint of a smile.

……

The Purple Rose Lady declared her retreat again, and ten days later, the secret agents who inspected the Earl's Court realized that something was wrong, and reported it to the Ministry of Supervision, and when the "cunning fox" Pattiss sent someone to infiltrate the investigation, she found that the owner of the Earl's Court had long been gone.
