After getting the handle of Gaspar, Briena, and even Selene, Edward behaved very calmly. www.biquge.info He sat beside the three of them like that, holding a goblet in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, but not participating in the ridiculous negotiations between them.

Yes, in Edward's view, these three power-obsessed people are ridiculous in Edward's view. He couldn't imagine that in an empire as big as Oles, the struggle for power was actually decided by this kind of game. False and wronged, mutual grasping, concealment and deception, coercion and framing, etc., all the vicious political tricks were used without reservation, and Edward was amazed.

Seeing this, Edward no longer had any interest in this Game of Thrones, even if he heard that he was very dissatisfied with the noblewoman and that he always sat next to Selene, saying that he wanted to take advantage of it, he was indifferent. If Edward still had the slightest illusion about the Oles Empire, now he was completely disappointed - would this empire with a leader who only cared about himself have a future?

"Inquisitor, can I invite you to a dance?" said Duchess Flarian as she approached and whispered to Edward, "you stayed with your sister throughout the banquet, much to the displeasure of many ladies who were interested in you. ”

"Go, Inquisitor. Gaspar interjected, "The Aura Empire is not just for my dear cousin, these nobles are also members, and if your court wants our support, these noblewomen are also your target." ”

"Do you think our Inquisition still needs to cater to your Oles Empire?" said Edward, unmoved, still clutching his glass, "Or am I hindering your plans here?"

Gaspar and Flarian glanced at each other, both seeing the irritation in each other's eyes, and of course Edward and Seline were no exception.

The reaction of the two suddenly made Selene suspicious, she did not know the results of the jury's investigation, but how could her cousin and cousin's reaction be hidden from the political veteran's observation, so she got up and said, "Okay, since you want to dance, then I and the judge can dance together." ”

"I'm sorry, cousin," said Selene, who came to Edward's face and gracefully held out her hand.

Flarian could only reluctantly retreat.

Edward could not refuse the Empress's invitation, as it would be very embarrassing for her and thus an obstacle to the actions of the Jury. He could only sigh, gently shook Selene's hand, and walked with her to the center of the dance floor, dancing to the melodious music.

"Inquisitor, if you were a general of my Aura Empire, I think you would be a good general who did his duty. Selene leaned close to Edward, "Fame and power don't seem to be able to shake your heart, which is very rare in my life. ”

"No way, my friends told me some bad information. Edward said, "Not only are your cousin and the elven ambassador Briena, but even your cousin has some inappropriate behavior. I had to protect you closely. ”

"Compared to the other three, you are the best person to ensure that the empire does not go into chaos, although you are not a good empress. ”

Edward's words made Selene slightly stunned, and immediately thought of something, but soon smiled again: "I didn't expect your subordinates to be so good and be able to open the room I locked." However, you also have to understand me that people have needs, and whether it is Briena or the one in my room, it has nothing to do with my ability to govern, does it?"

Edward smiled nonchalantly.

"How about becoming the prince of our Oles Empire? Seeing that Edward did not refute, Selene suddenly said, "You will get the rights and wealth that the Inquisitor cannot get, although this is difficult to do, and it will be opposed by many people, but I will try to silence those people, as long as you can promise me ......"

"Tied up like the man in your room?" Edward asked rhetorically.

"Of course not, how could I do that to a dragon knight?" said Selene with a smile, "I've fallen deeply in love with you through this feast, Edward. Don't turn down an empress, that would make her angry. ”

"I'm sorry I had to turn you down, Your Majesty. "You should understand that I don't like this kind of life, and such a woman. ”

Selene stared at Edward with anger in her eyes, but when she saw Edward fanning his eyes with the light, she was slightly stunned and quickly calmed down.

Neither spoke afterward, ending their waltz in a slightly awkward atmosphere.

Amid the warm applause, when Edward took Selene's hand and walked out of the dance floor, Selene suddenly whispered: "Your refusal will not let me give up, I, Selene, have never had anything that I can't get." ”

Before she could finish speaking, a burst of screams erupted around her.

I don't know when, among the nobles around the dance floor, several assassins dressed in clown costumes suddenly appeared, and after they unexpectedly stabbed a few guards to death, and after several nobles were killed, they nimbly rushed towards Seline on the dance floor.

"Finally can't help but make a move?" Edward was not afraid, the corners of his mouth curled, and he pulled Selene behind him, and with a right hand, Dragon King Xingyao suddenly appeared in his hand

With Edward's physical strength at this time, he could only hold the heavy Dragon King Star Shine in both hands, but this did not hinder his determination to kill these assassins.

"Guards, where are the guards!" saw the chaos in the banquet hall, and Selene shouted in a panic, she had no idea that the Assassins would attack the heavily guarded Winter Palace.

"No need to shout, my dear sister. Flarian and Gaspar stood on the edge of the dance floor, watching Edward and Seline, while the elven ambassador Briena was surrounded by several assassins, "While you were in love with this handsome man, I did my best to move the guards out of the way, because near the Winter Palace, a dragon had appeared. ”

"And the reinforcements of your inquisition are also held back by my people. Now, no one but this handsome man will be able to save you. Flarian said triumphantly.

"Why you?Vlarian!" said Selene, a little incredulous.

"Why? You won't understand. "You wouldn't have thought I'd work with Gaspar, would I? My purpose was to kill you, and that's what Gaspar wanted." ”

"I'm sorry, dear cousin, but I have to regret to tell you that you failed. "Even if you stay by this dragon knight's side, you won't be able to stop your death......"

"Really, do you think you've made it today?" Edward grabbed the dragon king with both hands and thrust it into the dance floor, and a purple mana suddenly burst out, forming a magical barrier around Selene.

Edward then snapped his fingers at the Assassins around him and said, "I'm standing here today, and I'm eager to see how you killed Selene." ”

"Brave dragon knight!" Flarian did not believe that Edward alone could block the attacks of more than twenty elite assassins under her command, and waved his hand, "Then, let you die with our majesty!
