The early summer winds carry a large amount of water vapor from the Mediterranean Sea to the north, creating abundant rainfall that dilutes the heat of midsummer. In the smoky breeze, the city of Ekhtathon was immersed in a thick greenery. And the lush green seemed to be as dark as a dark cloud in the night—the clumps were stacked on top of each other, flooding the garden statues and high-rise villas of the royal city, filling in the ink with signs of prosperity.

The troops stationed on the main transportation routes, and the searchlights dense like forests in the high places of the city, all reveal the atmosphere of undercurrents. It seems that there are countless hidden eyes peeping into the royal city in the dark, and even the dark night cannot suppress the impetuous heart.

......

On the observation deck at the highest point of the palace, Xia Li looked at the outline of the city gradually becoming clear in the distance in the dawn light, and her expression was a little dazed.

After returning from the sea, she was sent to the royal capital by Ivan and settled in a hotel on the edge of Mirror Lake. As a result, as soon as he left on the front foot, Eru Rome took her into the court on the back foot, and stayed there for seven days.

During these seven days, the priestly girl was not physically restrained or subjected to any form of abuse, but was forced to see her titular sister every day.

Due to the power of the Netherworld and the important guardian of Evan, Xia Li's identity was quickly recognized by the royal court, and her name was included in the royal list. And those who have been blessed by misfortune are at the top of the clan lineage, no longer distant relatives, but those senior members who can receive annuities.

Becoming a royal family of Menes, no longer having to hide in Tibet and running for your life is indeed a good thing worth remembering. But for the priestess, the fact that she had to visit Eru Lomme every day was enough to dilute all the joy she received.

You must know that before this, Xia Li had been instilled with negative information about Elu Romei by Ozmandis for many years, and she was completely brainwashed. For her, the other party is a super villain who has to sleep with 99 men a day and bathe in virgin blood, and it is also a nightmare in her heart and a lifelong enemy.

Now the enemy of his life suddenly appeared in front of him with the face of his sister, which caused the pressure of the priest girl to be very high, but he was forced by the other party's 'obscenity' and did not dare to show hostility. The huge psychological burden caused her to be in a state of long-term confusion during this time, and she felt unpleasant and loveless all the time.

"Her Royal Highness. ”

Just as Xia Li was aimlessly letting go of herself, the sound of smooth footsteps behind her gradually approached, and then a crisp and capable call came from her, interrupting her train of thought.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Li looked at the golden sunlight spreading on the edge of the city and asked listlessly.

"His Majesty Evan is back,"

The voice replied.

"Really!?"

The priest girl turned her head in surprise, glanced at the officer Renee behind her, and when she received her sure nod, she immediately ran to the exit of the stairs happily.

She ran to the door with a smoke, and her figure suddenly froze, like a reversible tape, and retreated back the way she came.

"Lead, lead the way!"

......

The Royal Palace, the Hall of Mirrors.

Named after the "Mirror", this palace is the most famous hall of the imperial court, and is a masterpiece of architectural ingenuity by Menes craftsmen. The dome of the hall is oval, stepped upwards, gradually smaller from the third floor upwards, and the appearance is in the form of an eight-sided pyramid, and the arched windows of each edge are inlaid with two-person mercury mirrors, and pedestrians can see their own layers of images when they raise their heads.

Under the dome hang six gilded two-branch chandeliers, each weighing 1.3 tons, and the walls around them are painted with huge murals of battles won by the imperial army over the centuries.

The façade of the hall has eighteen columns, all crowned with statues symbolizing victory. Today, the Hall of Mirrors is the traditional venue for major ceremonies at the royal court.

Next to the coffee table in the west window, bathed in the magnificent golden light that accompanied the dome of the Mirror Gallery, the Sun King and his wife sat looking at each other, and after a moment of silence, decisively pulled down the curtain to avoid the light.

Feeling the shade brought by the shadow of the curtain, Evan sighed with satisfaction:

"It feels so much better now. ”

Eru Lomei poured a cup of tea, took a sip of it to her lips, and said with a smile:

"This is a good place to practice the Sun Sutra, and it has the same effect as the Pure Land of Bliss you were in before...... But it's really not very suitable for living. ”

At this time, she was wearing a long silver-white dress, long gloves of the same color extended from her fingertips to her arms, the soft silk outlined her elegant figure, and the snow-white inner skirt hung on the scarlet carpet, as soft as the moonlight.

In the dim light, her complexion was very fair, like the luster of porcelain, and in contrast, the cherry lips were particularly conspicuous, and the slender eyes were also extremely clear.

"I want to take Charlie with her, she has true Nether powers, she is closer to the Immortal than I am. Ivan said straight to the point.

"Don't worry. ”

With one hand, Eru Lomei opened the fragrant feather folding fan. Picking up the glass cup of tea in one hand, he raised his eyes with a smile:

"Actually, I have no intention of keeping Xia Liqiang here, and I receive her every day, just so that she can see me for what I really are, so as to dispel the hostility that Ozmandis has long instilled. ”

"It's still my cousin who has a heart. ”

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile:

"The traitor had said something similar to me before, he thought you were going to kill me, let me die with all the stigma on my back, and then sit back and enjoy it. ”

So he's a failed thief at best. ”

Eru Lome raised her face, her silver eyes roaming over the other party's face, and the corners of her cherry lips turned up slightly:

"I will show generosity and kindness to any capable royal family, even if they misunderstand me and even have a grudge against me. ”

“......”

Evan took another sip of tea, pretended not to understand her words, and said calmly:

"The royal family is the foundation of the empire, and of course the more prosperous the better. Your kindness and patience with Charlie is undoubtedly the wisest thing to do, and I am very grateful for that. ”

"Since you're in a hurry to take Xia Li......"

She folded her white and tender hands and looked at him expectantly:

"Then you must have been approved by the guardians to enter the Pure Land of Bliss and adapt to the breath of the underworld. ”

"Not to mention recognition, the Demon Dao of the Underworld is good at destruction, and has no qualifications to control the Dead Country. ”

He put down the glass cup, looked at the other party's bright eyes that couldn't help but look at him, and said calmly: "If there will be a Hades King in the temple in the future, then this person must be Xia Li, and I ...... It's just a temporary manager. ”

"What about prophecy?"

Eru Lomei lowered her gaze, her thick eyelashes obscuring her eyes, making it impossible to see what she was thinking at the moment.
