At the long oak table in the middle of the bedroom, Ranch Hublion and the Princesse sat on either side.

Their eyes met on the three pages on the table, as if the secrets of the entire Cress Empire were hidden between them.

Late at night, the outside world was as quiet as if forgotten, and there was only this room, isolated from the torrent of time.

The fear that was about to drown Alexia faded with the disappearance of the poet of love, and she breathed in as if she had risen from the bottom of the sea, finally able to control her emotions.

Long.

"I trust the accuracy of your intelligence, but ...... Who the hell are you? ”

The corners of Princess Alexia's eyes tightened, her lips stiffened slightly, and the indescribable tension between her words could not be removed.

"I'm an ecologist and I'm currently working on a project about bloodlines."

Rankie's eyes were as sharp as knives, and every word was solemn as if it carried weight.

Although he can join Eceryte Academy in the future with the status of a platinum-level card maker, there is still a long way to go if he wants to be promoted to the principal.

Now the position of the president of the Academy of Ecirita is vacant, Professor Bolao, the dean of the Academy of Magic, has no intention of power, the president of the Knight Academy is retired and rehired, the president of the Sage Academy, Loren, does not have so much time to concurrently serve as the chief priest of the Goddess of Destiny Church, and the president of the Alchemy Academy is in a lawsuit all the year round because of the infringement dispute of his newspaper, and he may be imprisoned at any time.

If you want to take up the position of the principal of such a top school, it is essential to have a reputation in the academic world, because the school is not only affiliated with the Hutton Kingdom, but also the official certification and the highest level of direct institutions of the Southern Continent Movie World Management Association and the United Council of the Southern Continent Kingdom.

One of the most difficult was to be asked to have a dissertation that was rated as the highest level of academic value in the Southern Continent.

Looking at the entire Eceryte Academy, only a few professors meet this condition, which shows how difficult it is.

So at the moment, the only academic research that Lan Qi can think of is "On Ecological Balance and Blood Governance".

He was not sure if the subject would be recognized by the academic community in the southern continent by then.

But doing academics should be this attitude, wholeheartedly, and reaching the peak.

“？”

Alexia had never heard of an ecologist who could heal the Blood.

And Hubertarian was peeking at Lanchi, her eyelids were beating wildly, and she felt that this thing was going to do something big again!

Before the project of searching for slate slabs in the Northern Continent, which was scheduled for the winter vacation, began, he was already planning the next step to study the ecological environment of the Cress Empire!

You're really, not a principal, no one deserves to be a principal.

And I'm afraid that when the time comes, even if Huberian doesn't want to involve Lanchi in the Duke mystery case, Lanchi herself will be involved in the very center of the dispute in the Cress Empire!

After listening to Ranchi's answer, Alexia thought for a moment that he was joking, and then asked again:

"What's your relationship with the Bloodline?"

Alexia tensed her nerves with caution.

This teenager knows too much about so many secrets.

There are only two possibilities.

Or, he's a lackey of the Bloodline.

Or, he's a sworn enemy of the Bloodline.

First of all, Alexia was sure that Ranchi himself could not be a blood race, and that the blood race was the best race to judge, because it would become weak directly in the sun, and it would even be weakened to only one-tenth of its strength at noon, and it would be impossible for Lanchi to live in the sun like he did for half a day.

But Alexia can't tell if Ranchi is a member of the Bloodline!

Compared to believing that he has too much prophetic ability, a more reasonable explanation is that Lan Qi, who knows everything about the blood clan, is a person on the blood side!

"It's okay, tomorrow you'll know what my relationship with the Bloodline is."

Lanchi spread his hands helplessly, as if he understood the concerns of Princess Alexia.

Indeed, his sources of information cannot be explained.

But it doesn't matter.

The answer to the question raised by the princess can be proved to her tonight.

"Tomorrow...... Even if you know more, what's the point? ”

The energy that Princess Alexia originally raised seemed to be pulled back to the cruel reality by Lanchi's brief words, and it disappeared completely.

If she had met Ranchi outside of the film world, she might have tried to hold on to that glimmer of hope and struggle to the end.

But in this shadow world, where death is already inevitable, it is a foregone conclusion that everyone will die at the hands of the seventh-order blood clan.

There is no chance that all the challengers will survive until the sixth dawn at the hands of the Count, even if they risk their lives.

“……”

Ranch's hand tapped softly on the table, the sound echoing through the quiet room, piercing the silence of the night.

He was thinking about something at the moment.

"Just a blood earl scared you like this, if the royal family of the Cress Empire is the same as you, no wonder the country will be occupied so easily."

Finally Ranchi spoke.

Huberian looked at Ranch in surprise.

She had never seen Ranch say such mean things to a girl.

However.

After hearing Lanch's words, Alexia moved again like a doll that had been pulled by a clockwork.

She stared at Lanchi, her eyes red, as if the most unyielding part of her heart had been touched.

"You...... You can say that I am a waste princess...... But you are not allowed to insult the Cress Empire! ”

There were tears in her eyes, and that was the last trace of her stubbornness.

Obviously she has given up, but for some reason, some things just can't be put down.

"Don't you think there's no tomorrow? So what's there to fight about? ”

Lanch looked at her as if she had restarted, and smiled reassuringly.

"The charge of insulting the royal family, you remembered it for me, I will not forget it......"

Alexia kept wiping away tears, still warning Ranchi.

"Then I'll wait for you to sue me, and I'll show you what a Pizza Hut in the Southern Continent is."

Ranch said with a calm smile.

"Then you go and kill this earl first! A guy who only talks about it. ”

"Then what do you say if I really hunt this Blood Earl?"

"Then you can do what you say, you can't do it anyway."

“……”

Although in the eyes of Huberian on the side, Ranchi's childlike tone was constantly mocking Alexia's princess, it seemed that these words constantly aroused Alexia's stubborn will in her heart.

Even Alexia, who was unwittingly awakened to her desire to survive, didn't notice it.

"Okay."

Lanchi smiled and stood up, pushing his chair back under the table, the sound of wooden legs rubbing against the stone floor echoing through the wide room.

He then walked with Huberian to the bedroom door.

It doesn't take the princess to fight against the Earl tonight, or to make it seem that "the princess is not trusted by all their other challengers, and the matter of intercepting the blood clan has nothing to do with her".

After all, she still had to go back to the Cress Empire to spend some time with that group of bloods.

If it arouses the vigilance and suspicion of the blood clan, it will not be easy to do.

Ranch closes the bedroom door for Alexia.

"Please have a good night's rest, Your Royal Highness, and I promise that the sun will rise tomorrow."

The door slowly shut, and through the narrowing crack, his face gradually obscured by the door.

Alexia stared at the locked door and the vanishing figure of Lanchi.

Although, the promise made before Ranch left was as illusory as an unfulfilled lie.

But for some reason, she was already on the verge of dying, but at this moment she felt a fire burning in her chest.

She looked out the window.

When the stars are blurred, it seems to indicate that the night will be long.

If only the sunrise could be seen tomorrow.

How much worse is the person who can give her this dawn than the sun?

"Help me...... It doesn't matter what kind of sun ...... you are."

Alexia muttered as she looked prayerfully at the cage-like night sky.
