Lonely men and widows live in the same room.

The well-dressed beauty sat on the edge of the bed, her clothes were full of seduction, one shoulder strap slipped off, her fragrant shoulders were exposed, and she was sprayed with perfume that could provoke the accelerated secretion of male hormones, while the young man lay on his side on the bed, wearing only very thin pajamas and pants, and stared at the beautiful woman without blinking.

This is not a forbidden scene with boundless spring, but a dangerous moment on the line of life and death.

Because the man was holding a quenched dagger with poison in his hand, and the blade was against the small waist of the beauty.

"Mr. Riverside, what are you doing here?" Ipeia smiled nonchalantly, though something was unexpected.

"That's what I wanted to ask. What do you want to do?" Compared to Ipeiya's enthusiasm, the man lying on the bed looked rather indifferent, "Don't be confused, Your Majesty knows best." ”

"Ahh......h I was really defeated by you. His Royal Highness Prince Harun of the Kingdom of Sealand. ”

"Hey, don't you continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb? It seems that the empress of the famous Rocard Empire is not very patient. Turned the bottom of the card over so quickly. Prince Harun was not at all surprised that Ipeya had revealed his identity.

In fact, the two of them have long known each other's details, but they have been tacitly acquiescing, and now that they are suddenly broken, there will inevitably be subtle changes.

"The prince of Sealand threatens the empress of Rocal with a sword, this is a very strict foreign affairs, and it will become the fuse of war between the two countries. Ipeia explained her intention to puncture the window paper.

"Then may I ask if someone suddenly broke into my bedroom in the middle of the night, as the crown prince of a country, can I defend myself?" Prince Harun was not frightened by the threat of war, he did not back down-for-tat, "I believe that your situation should be the same as mine, there are many political enemies in your own country who do not want to see you appear again." Therefore, if something happens in this closed room, it may not lead to a war between the two countries. ”

"It's really an eye-opener for the concubine. I said goodbye in a hurry 8 years ago, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to have such a big growth now. ”

"yes. I was just a 14-year-old kid at the time. And at that time, I never imagined that the young princess, who looked weak and gentle, and I felt pity, would be such a cruel and frightening woman. ”

The two of them are talking about the ceremony that 8 years ago, when the 18-year-old Yipeiya ascended the throne and became the empress of the empire, many foreign royals were invited to watch the ceremony. In order to win over the Rocard Empire to contain the Kingdom of Maidin, the Sealand royal family has been trying to establish a military alliance with Rocard, and in order to show Sealand's sincerity, the king personally came to Alexandria for a state visit, and attended the enthronement ceremony of Ipeya, along with the 14-year-old Harun, who was made crown prince. Although 8 years ago, Ipeia and Harun didn't say a word, and the two only had a one-sided relationship, but that was the opportunity for Ipeia to recognize Harun now.

For the sake of the gods in the light, it may not be polite for His Highness Harun to describe the concubine like this. ”

"I also have a father who is sick in bed, but I haven't been able to poison my father in order to ascend the throne, Princess Cheng Dù? ”

"You ......" Ipeiya's expression stiffened for a very short moment, although the secret buried in her heart was exposed, Ipeiya still maintained a strong pressure on the fluctuating feelings, and continued, "The concubine doesn't know what you say. Moreover, the concubine body will not do anything dangerous to you. ”

"That maybe. Excuse me, as soon as I entered the territory of your country, I was immediately hunted down and killed by the 'Sun Eater Pupil' organization? I know very well that the killer of the 'Sun Eater Pupil' was hired by my brothers to eradicate me, but how did my brothers know that I had secretly entered your country? Who reported the news? Finally, at the last moment, you suddenly killed and 'saved' me, the probability of this kind of coincidence is too low, right?"

"The concubine can swear, I don't know anything about the 'Sun Devouring Pupil', and I have nothing to do with the attack on your Royal Highness in our country. As for the question of probability, it is reasonable to save zài. ”

"Explain it however you want. Anyway, I've always been used to being cautious, so that I can survive the dangerous battles again and again. Forgive me for having to do this, even though you say it won't endanger me, but there are too many lessons to be learned from ancient times to the present day. ”

"Poof...... Are you thinking too much?"

"Hopefully it's just that I'm thinking too much, not that you're doing superfluous. Could it please explain to the Empress that crystal with enchanting magic around your neck?"

......

Ipeya did not answer immediately. That was her reaction to surprise again, for even with her clever, clever mind, she could not think of an excuse for a moment.

"Don't compare me to Julian's idiot. Seeing that he had gained the upper hand, Prince Harlan withdrew his sword, "Your tried and tested tricks on him may not work for me. ”

"Ah, that's amazing!" Ipeia was completely speechless, and now she really met her opponent.

"Let's get down to business. Your Majesty, you have done so many tricks, I guess you have only one purpose, and that is to tie me to your chariot. Prince Harlan sat up from his bed and walked to the bar.

Lu Ling's villa is huge and very luxurious. Each room is big and there is a small bar inside. Harlan came to the bar and sat down on a chair, calmly taking out a goblet and a bottle of champagne, pouring the wine into the glass unhurriedly and sipping it in a pleasant manner.

This relaxed attitude, which is similar to the vigilance and nervousness of a few minutes ago, also shows that the current Prince Harlan thinks that he has taken the absolute initiative.

Seeing this situation, Ipeia knew that her plan had been completely aborted, and there was no need to continue to be bored. Without saying a word, she walked to the door, pulled the door open, and left the room, her eyes faintly revealing a little resentment and helplessness.

"Wait. As soon as one foot stepped out of the door, Prince Harlan suddenly called out to her.

"What do you want?" asked Ipeia, coldly.

"It's windy, please close the window of your room. The prince put down his cup and said tepidly, "And, by the way, has the roof of the mason's house been repaired?"

"What!" Ipeya froze again.

She turned slowly, while the fingers of her right hand snapped her fingers, her left hand buried her in the palm of her hand, and her left palm slowly turned back, while Harlan's left hand struck back and forth regularly like a piano on the bar table, and then suddenly raised her hand and propped her index and little finger upside down on the table.

"Oh, you are. Ipeia regained her old graceful smile.

"You too, all of us. Prince Harlan replied like a dumb riddle.

"Looks like we have other things to discuss. ”

So Ipeya walked into the room again and closed the door from the inside.

"Unexpectedly, you are actually the eighth level: 'Priest of the Thunder Temple'. Ipeiya shook her head helplessly, and on some kind of Cheng dù, she "lost" again.

"I'm sorry. I have absolute command over you, the seventh-level 'Dancer of the Clouds'. But judging from Prince Harun's expression, he did not apologize at all.

"Well, what are you going to do. ”

"Then I'll get straight to the point. More than 20 years ago, the sword that Paladin Paterinin gave to your father for safekeeping was my target. Oh, yes, that's what Julian's nerd wants. The Pope sent him to bring that sword back to the Central Church, but for me that sword had a much more serious meaning. You've been fooling Julian, and I know that no matter how many times you go around, you'll never give him the sword. But you must give me that sword. ”

"Is this your goal, or the organization's goal?" Ipeya immediately grabbed the important information that came out of Prince Harlan's mouth.

Although within the Order, Harlan has absolute authority over her, Ipeya has the right to refuse if the order serves her own interests and not the interests of the organization.

"Both my own and my organization. Prince Harlan gave an ambiguous answer.

"Please make it clear, otherwise I will not obey your orders. ”

"That's right, the sword is what I wanted. In the battle of the Sauron Plains, the 'King's Exemplar' legion was completely wiped out, and I escaped with a dozen knights, I was supposed to go to Paris City to join the 'Eye of the Condor', but I didn't expect to receive secret information from the Central Holy Court on the way, and the Pope sent an envoy to your country in order to retrieve the sword that Paternin brought back from the Demon Continent more than 20 years ago. So I changed my mind on the spur of the moment and asked a stand-in to take refuge in the Eye of the Condor on my behalf, while I myself came to your country with the rest of the men, intending to take the sword back before the so-called 'Papal Envoy'. That's why I came to the Rocard Empire in the first place. ”

"It seems that the meaning of that sword to you is really extraordinary, and the concubine can probably guess what kind of sword it is. ”

"It's just that I never expected that as soon as I entered the empire, the killers of the 'Sun-devouring Pupil' came one after another, and you know what happened next. ”

Ipeia nodded. She didn't just know, she was directly involved.

"After returning from the subterranean city, I wandered the streets of Alexandria and heard that in the days when we had infiltrated the so-called 'Imperial Tomb' and tossed about your poor deception, something great had happened on Holy Pope Island: the vampire attacked the Holy City and the Pope died. I'm not interested in the life or death of the Pope and the rest of the bastards in the Central Church, but what is more troublesome is that our organization has been exposed to the world, and the Central Church has launched a purge campaign against us. For further details, I contacted the organization's contact point in Alexandria. ”

"The organization still has a point of contact in Alexandria?"

"What's so surprising about this? It's just that the secrecy is not allowed to be mastered below level 7. Again, at the Point of Contact, I received an order directly from the higher echelons of the Order to obtain something else from your Rocard Empire. ”

"What's the other thing?" Ipeia suddenly became intrigued.

"Don't ask. I'll let you know when the time comes. Prince Harlan waved his hand, "The only thing I can tell you now is that it was also carefully hidden by the ancestors of your royal family. If your ancestors, like your father, thought that a place was perfectly safe, then that thing, and the sword I wanted, they would probably be in the same place. ”

After thinking for a while, Ipeiya said, "The concubine knows that there is indeed such an absolutely safe place. But that place was very close to the Golden Dragon Sanctuary, and it was very difficult to get there. ”

"Aren't you trying to escort Julian's two friends to the Golden Dragon Sanctuary under the pretext of helping them who suddenly appeared? These two people, the guy named 'Thunder', an incapacitated dragon knight, should be your real target?"

This time, Ipeya didn't answer, but silence was the best answer.

"No matter what you're up to, as long as it helps my mission, my role as a 'riverside' must continue. After the deed is done, I only need two things, and the rest is as you want. ”

"Good. Let's work together happily and take what we need. Ipeya also sat down at the bar.

She took another glass, poured a small half glass of champagne into it, and shook it a few times to raise her glass to the "riverside man".

"To each his own take what he needs. ”

The two cups touched each other slightly, making a slight "coffee" sound.

......

However, the partition wall has ears.

Owen was struggling with an unsolvable divination deck, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, so he got up in the middle of the night for a walk, only to "just happen" to meet Ipeia sneaking into the room of the "Riverman" and behaving quite strangely.

Owen, who already felt that Ipeia was a little strange, aroused his curiosity even more
