"This won't work, I'm going to go together."

Bai Yan ignored the guards' advice, and who knows what Enhil was planning to do when he asked Ciri to go to his study?

"Huh!? Your Highness. ”

The guards couldn't stop Bai Yan at all, so they had to let him and Ciri walk towards the palace study together.

The imperial palaces of the Southern Empire were not ordinarily large, they were extremely luxurious, and they felt completely different from the North, as if they were a century away.

The floor of the corridor is covered with a red carpet embroidered with white court patterns, and you can feel very soft when you walk on it.

On both sides of the wall are golden lamps and hang all kinds of famous paintings, all of which are in the Enhill collection, and each painting can buy a house outside.

Ciri leaned over to Bai Yan's side, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, you don't need to be like this. ”

"Why?"

"Maybe it's just an ordinary conversation between father and daughter."

"But you also said that your father did to you... There are strange feelings. Bai Yan really has no way to say it, Enhil is simply a pathological, he actually has such thoughts about his daughter, it is normal for Bai Yan to be worried.

"I know how to protect myself."

"But if a horse stumbles, one more person is one more care."

"Hehe, you're right." Ciri chuckled a few times.

The two of them came to Enhill's study, and the two mighty knights of Gundam immediately stopped their long swords in front of the door, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty only summons Princess Xiri, please wait outside for His Royal Highness Bai Yan." ”

"What if I have to go in?" Bai Yan asked rhetorically.

"Uhh

Yes, if Bai Yan had to go in, would they be able to stop him? Although they are the guards of the palace, the news always spreads quickly, although Bai Yan does not have any position in the dragon clan, but his influence is stronger than any dragon king, it is the spiritual belief of the dragon clan, the second generation of time dragon gods.

Anyway, it's not something that these little guards can afford to mess with.

"Your Highness Bai Yan, please don't embarrass us." The two knights said awkwardly.

"Then don't embarrass me." Bai Yan shrugged.

"Forget it, Bai Yan." Ciri took the initiative and said, "You can just wait for me outside." ”

"Are you sure?" Bai Yan raised his eyebrows.

"If something happens, you'll be the first to rush in, right?" Ciri teased.

"Well, that's right." Bai Yan's hearing was very good, even if it was through a door, it couldn't affect him to explore the situation inside.

"Then I'm in."

Ciri pushed open the door of the study and strode towards the inside of the study, while Bai Yan leaned against the wall casually and asked the two knights, "It's not illegal to stand here, right?" ”

The two knights shook their heads again and again, where did they dare to have any opinions, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"That'll do."

*****

When Ciri walked into the study, Enshir was reading a book, and when he noticed Ciri coming in, he said lightly: "Every night, I will ask myself to read a book for 1 hour before falling asleep, and over the decades, I have almost finished reading all the books in the library, and I have learned a lot from the books, and also gave me a lot of inspiration." ”

"It's a good habit, isn't it? Father. Ciri stood at his desk with his hands on his chest, not intending to sit down.

Enhil closed the book and put it down gently, his unsmiling face conveyed a serious signal, worthy of being a ruthless emperor who fought in the south and the north, and a look was enough to make people fearful.

"I know what you're wary of, I admit that I used to have extreme thoughts about you, but now, you're about to enter the palace of marriage, I bless you."

"It's as simple as that?" Ciri was a little stunned, unable to believe that these words came from his father's mouth.

"What I once longed for was the blood of the ancients in you, so that the descendants of the blood of the ancients would rule over Tamriel forever, and you must think that I was carried away by ambition, right?"

"Isn't it?" Ciri frowned in displeasure, for this purpose, he wanted to do something quite excessive to her, is this still a father? He only has unlimited power and ambition in his eyes, but he is his daughter, how can he have such an idea!?

"Yes, I crave power! Back then, I was expelled from the palace by rebellious ministers and thieves, wandering all the way, spurned and humbled by countless people, and was humble as a mustard, so I swore at that time that one day, I would kill all the rebels, and they all deserved to die! ”

Enhill clenched his fists excitedly, and his bones and joints turned white, one can imagine how angry the emperor was, and that memory brought him too much humiliation, and he still remembers it vividly.

Ciri was stunned, she had only heard a little about her father's past, but she didn't expect it to be so deep.

Enhil was once a prince born with a golden key, but a palace coup decades ago made him suffer, and his twisted personality must have changed from that time.

Because he is weak, he is so desperate for strength that he goes crazy.

It can be seen from his style of acting that he will never be soft when he kills, and would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

After half a ring, Enhil realized that his emotions were a little out of control, took a few deep breaths to calm his mood, and looked at Ciri: "But all this is over, those rebels are all dead, and the pursuit of power and ambition seems to be no longer important, after the trip to Dragon Valley, I realized that there is a heaven beyond the sky, no matter how much I expand my territory, it will always be difficult to reach the higher being." ”

"What do you mean...?"

"That's right, I'm talking about Bai Yan." Enhil paused for a moment and said, "That's the difference in realm, even if you have the Iron Armor of the Hundred Kings, you are not his opponent, and it is a wise choice for you to marry him." ”

"So, in your eyes, this is a political marriage?"

"Why not? You're interested in him too, right? If you don't have half affection for him, will you agree to the marriage? "Enshir has read countless people, and he always hit the nail on the head.

"This...."Ciri's face was slightly red, she had a hard time describing what kind of feelings this was, it was complicated anyway.

"No need to answer, I know your choice, so, at this moment, I am not an emperor, but a father, and I sincerely hope that you can be happy."

Ciri was silent for a long time, and finally said something from her lips: "Thank you, father." ”

Enhil nodded slightly, and then shouted out the door, "Okay, you can come in outside." ”

Bai Yan touched his nose, it seems that Enhil has always known that he was eavesdropping outside, so what else is he hiding? So he walked in generously.

Enhir pointed at Ciri and said succinctly, "My daughter will be handed over to you." ”

"No problem, Your Majesty, I will definitely take good care of Ciri." What Bai Yan said was simply polite.

"Don't play tricks with me, what I want is your solemn promise, don't think I don't know what the relationship between those girls around you is with you?"
