Lucy stood at the entrance of the white arch bridge connected to the Royal Gallery, and from here, the spire-like main building of the gallery was hidden in the clouds and mist on the upper floor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Info Gallery is built on the western edge of the Golden City, and there is no foundation in the entire gallery, and below it is the Endless Void. The minaret of the main building is 100 meters high and is divided into 13 floors, which contains most of the knowledge and theories, historical documents, art and technology of Idahuaxing. It can be said that this is the source of knowledge of Adahuaxing, and those academicians of the Academy of Truth will always visit the gallery every now and then and bury themselves in the ocean of their origins.

In addition to the main spire building, there are also six wing tower annexes, which are centered on the main building, lined up on the left and right, and form a crescent moon shape with the main building. In front of the building is a plaza with fountains that spit endlessly, pushing a large stone ball in the center of the fountain and causing it to tumble. The stone ball had mottled lines and looked old.

This stone ball symbolizes the entire universe and was designed by the first director of the Royal Gallery at that time, named "Gosna", who believed that the universe was constantly changing, and that there was a certain law in the mouth of the seemingly irregular change. By comparing a large number of historical events, Gosner put forward the "cosmic wheel theory" and designed this theory as this stone ball concretely and subtly.

So this stone ball is also known as the wheel ball.

Lucy walked across the fair-skinned arched bridge, and the howling wind on the bridge ruffled her hairstyle, and a few strands of hair fluttered mischievously with the wind. She pulled her hair and looked over the railing of the bridge to see many black spots in the bright sunlit sky. Below the Golden City, thin clouds are low, and through the gaps in the clouds, you can see the green fertile fields below. In a trance, she seemed to see a flamboyant figure, running on the land with a tense attitude.

You okay?

Now, you're free, right?

Lucy suddenly felt a pain in her heart, her lips pursed, and she struggled to breathe. After a moment, she regained her composure, and then without looking at the thin clouds and green fields, she walked away. After passing the white arch bridge and bypassing the fountain, she walked up the gray stone steps that led to the entrance of the gallery. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and several figures came out of the gallery. Lucy thought she was an academician of the Academy of Truth, but unexpectedly she saw a shadow of a neon dress, and some of them even said "Huh", but it was the voice of a girl.

"Isn't this Sister Lucy?"

Lucy looked up, and it was a young girl who was two or three years younger than her who spoke. There were a few lovely freckles on her face, and her pale blonde hair was tied up with a jeweled hairnet, and the girl looked three points similar to Lucy, but her expression was ill-intentioned, and she said, "I heard that Sister Lucy locked herself in the palace after she came, and even her father was gone, what a big shelf." ”

Another girl next to her accosted: "No way, who told our Lucy to pretend to be pitiful." Oh, I forgot how pathetic she was. I lost my mother at a young age, and I just separated from my boyfriend not long ago, so I would have cried a lot, right? ”

Then the girls burst into laughter.

Lucy looked at them coldly and said, "Enough is enough, get out of the way, don't get in my way!" ”

"Ouch, it's majestic, it's terrifying." The freckled girl exaggeratedly stroked her hand to her chest, pretending to be pitiful, and shook the eldest girl in the crowd and said, "Sister Lucy has scared me, but Sister Alyssa is the best and gentleest." ”

Lucy's gaze fell on the girl.

Alyssa, a year older than her, inherited her mother's peachy hair, and even her eyes were pink. She has a steadiness that other girls don't have, which makes her look dignified and beautiful. She nodded to Lucy and said, "Don't blame these children, they are used to being open-mouthed, I will teach them a lesson." ”

There were four or five girls around, plus Alyssa, and the girls of all sizes were all nobles of the royal court. Among them, Alyssa and the other two are Lucy sisters, and the rest are the daughters of the Duke and Marquis, any of them are noble people, otherwise they would not be able to enter and leave the Royal Library at will.

Lucy glanced at the girls and said, "They do have to take care of their mouths, it's fine in the Golden City, if they still talk like this outside, they will regret it sooner or later." ”

When the girls heard this, their chests rose and fell in anger, but they gave Alyssa a look to stop them. As Lucy walked past them, she whispered to one of them, "The next time I hear something about my mother, I'll put the Golden Rose in your mouth!" ”

The girl immediately changed color, angry and afraid, and her whole body trembled. When Lucy disappeared behind the door, she said to Alyssa, "Look at her, she doesn't take us seriously at all. Elisa, why don't you say a word, you can't be afraid of her, right? ”

Alyssa laughed softly, "Lucy is a wild cat, you step on her tail so casually, be careful that she catches your face." I'm not going to bother dealing with a wild cat, but just throwing a wild dog at her? ”

The girls looked confused, unable to guess her mind at all.

By the time Lucy came out of the gallery, it was already sunset. After a day of soaking in the gallery today, even she was a little dizzy. After a day of reading the literature and looking through the information about the Children of Twilight, she wanted to find a solution to the conflict between Eren and her father. But this is as simple as it is said, but it is not so easy to do. Despite Adahuaxing's vast collection, records of the Children of Dusk are limited, let alone clues to find inspiration in them.

Lucy didn't give up and planned to come back tomorrow. She walked up the fair-skinned arch bridge, but suddenly stopped. Just in the middle of the arch bridge, a figure stood in the middle of the road. The twilight sun fell on his young and handsome face, which was a little wicked because of his unbridled eyes.

"When I heard that you had come to the Royal Gallery, I rushed over immediately. Lucy, I miss you! He said loudly, and his overly flamboyant voice seemed so out of place in the solemn gallery area.

Lucy frowned, "Alyssa told you that, right?" Son of the Marquis of Mercia, Lord Franco? ”

Like Link, Franco is one of her suitors. It's just that compared to Link, who is just a little old-fashioned and well-behaved, Franco is completely at the other extreme. He is a well-known playboy in the Golden City, and he is unprincipled, and will stop at nothing to get the other party as long as it is his eye. He was an unscrupulous man, and even seduced the wives of lower-ranking officials, and was notorious in the City of Gold.

In the glow of the setting sun, Franco bowed and said, "Who told me what's important?" Importantly, I would be honored if Her Highness Lucy could agree to have dinner with me. ”

"Really? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I've been watching all day today, and now I just want to take a good shower and go to bed. Lucy walked up to the arched bridge, as if she didn't see Franco, and walked straight past him.

Franco still maintained a bowing posture, and even the smile on his face did not change in the slightest, but he suddenly said, "If you take a bath and sleep, you happen to be good at it." Otherwise, would it be better for me to serve Her Highness Lucy? ”

Lucy stopped abruptly and said coldly, "Watch your words, Lord Franco! ”

The young man straightened up, reached out and pulled his long black hair, closed his eyes and smiled, "Then let me remind you, Your Highness Lucy." Although you are a royal daughter, but there are too many princes and princesses under His Majesty's knees to count, how long do you think he will keep his eyes on you? Your mother died young, and your matrilineal relatives are not noble. In this palace, if Your Majesty neglects you, who do you think can support you? ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Marry me!" Franco opened his arms and smiled happily: "You left Idahuaxing, and you have been living outside for many years for a small human race on Earth, and your little thing is no secret in the Golden City. To be honest, as a royal lady, what you have done has lost your identity, and people even wonder if you are still as pure as ever. But I don't mind, Your Highness. Even after you and I get married, I won't care if you continue to find that earthling person as a lover. As long as you give birth to a son for me, yes, one will be enough. As long as you do this, my father and even my family will be your strongest backing! ”

"So, this is what is called a political marriage?"

"You can understand it that way, too." Franco smiled.

Lucy looked at him coldly and laughed, "Your Excellency Franco, I am not so pitiful as to beg you or your family for protection. Besides, do you think I'd be short of suitors if I wanted to? Believe me, well-dressed men won't mind my past either. And any one of them is better than you as a mere son of a marquis! ”

She turned around, not wanting to look at the man again, and was about to walk.

Suddenly, there was no smile in front of her, and Franco, with a distorted face, dodged to block her way.

"Get out of here!" Lucy snorted.

Franc smirked, "When I came, I asked the family guards to make sure no one bothered us in the vicinity. Your Highness, I appreciate your stubbornness. But don't you think it's time for something to happen. Even if it is not what you want, Your Majesty will reluctantly marry you to me for the sake of reputation, right? ”

"You're such a filthy fellow." Lucy narrowed her eyes: "But do you really think that with your little ability, something can happen?" ”

The source of power soars to the sky!

Lucy raised her arm, and at some point, the Golden Rose was already in her hands. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Franco, and the overflowing source power continued to transform into golden roses around Lucy's body. One of the silver bracelets in her hand also fell off, turning into a silver hound at Lucy's feet. But this hound has no breath of life, it is cold and inorganic, like a precise but cruel killing machine.

Seeing the Golden Rose and the Blade Runner simulating hound, a drop of sweat slipped down Franco's forehead. Lucy's strength was somewhat different from the information he had gotten.
