Chapter 36: The Chess Game
"Chloe's father is the lord of the city, the lord of this city of Art. Elle replied as she looked at the puzzled Asher.
"It's just the Blood Guild, maybe it will kidnap Chloe for some benefits, but how could the city lord of a mere city let that Wells guy take action. Asher looked at Chloe with some confusion.
"In fact, my father, Germain, is not only the lord of Carter City, but also the younger brother of the current king of the Easter Empire, and he also has a great say in the royal family. Croe looked at Asher and explained.
So that's the case, but what does this have to do with Wells, or Cloere's father has what he wants, it shouldn't be, if there is something he wants, just send someone to steal it. Asher didn't think about what Wells's purpose was.
"Forget it, Ashur don't think about it, I have you by my side, and I'm not afraid of anything. Chloe looked at Asher and smiled.
"Well, that's right, Claue, you don't have to be afraid of anything with us by your side. Elle looked at Chloe and straightened her chest proudly.
"Yes, if they dare to come again, they will close the door and let Asher go. Vermeo looked at Asher and smiled.
"Hey, you're describing me as a dog. Asher looked at Vermeo and said speechlessly.
"Hee-hee, Senior Ashur is much lazier than a dog, and Luna thinks Senior Ashur is more like a cat. Luna looked at Asher and smiled.
"Hey...... Little Luna, why do you even say that, they are all lowest-level pet-type monsters. Asher looked at the crowd and said speechlessly.
"Hey, Senior Ashur, kittens and puppies are very cute and precious friends of humans, how can you say that. Luna looked at Asher angrily.
"Well, it's me who is bad. Asher looked at the angry Luna and said helplessly.
"That's pretty much it, Luna forgive you. Luna looked at Asher and smiled.
"Okay, thank you for your forgiveness, no, why was I forgiven. Ashur reacted and couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Alright, don't make a fuss. It was late, so I went back first. Claude looked at the noisy crowd and shook her head.
"Well, we're going to go too. Ashur, take good care of the guild. Fomeo looked at Asher and instructed.
"Okay, you guys go back, I'm going to sleep too. Asher yawned and said lazily.
On the other side, Kane and Milu, who had not been separated from Ashur at this time, were kneeling in a dark temple far away from here, and at the head of the temple, a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance was standing.
"Imu-sama Imu, Imu-sama, Imu-sama, not only failed the mission I gave us, but we also failed to bring it back, Mistress Asho," Nick looked at Imu and apologized.
"Forget it, it's not your fault, my son doesn't seem to care about anything, but once it's decided, no one can stop it, just like I couldn't keep him a year ago. Imu looked at the night sky in the distance and said lightly.
"But Lord Imu, if Lord Ashur continues like this, sooner or later he will hinder the organization, and then the other leaders of the organization will probably take action against Lord Ashur. Nick looked at Imu worriedly.
"Well, I know what you said, so you can step back first. Imu looked at Nick and said lightly.
"But, Lord Imu, Lord Ashur, he ......" Nick wanted to say more.
"I said, you stand down first. Imu looked at Nick and said lightly. Just swept by Imu's gaze, Nick was speechless for a moment, so he had to leave the main hall with Milou and Kane.
"What do you think of Lord Imu? Milou asked, as she walked down the road, looking at Nick and Kane.
"Alright, Milu don't talk about it, Lord Ashur is the son of Lord Imu, and he must not know what to do. Nick looked into the distance and sighed.
"But, forget it, Milou and I will always be on the side of Lord Ashur anyway. Milou clenched his fists and announced.
On the other side, Imu, who had drunk a few people who had drunk Nick, was standing in the depths of the temple at this time, and all sides of this place were covered by strange ice, and the cold air emitted by the ice made it impossible to see the situation inside.
Imu solemnly looked at an ancient coffin made of cold ice surrounded by cold air, the ancient coffin was carved with many strange and difficult patterns, and there was a strange light flashing around it.
Imu hesitated for a moment and slowly spoke: "Ashur has been out of the organization for more than a year, and if he continues like this, he may go to the opposite side of the organization sooner or later, so let me bring him back." ”
"Imu...... Don't worry, the chess game has just begun, confusion is of course, but sooner or later he will return to the position he should return to, this is his fate, Asher's ability is our last plan, but now he can't do it, Ashur, who has awakened a powerful ability since he was a child, will get another strength outside. An ethereal voice came softly from the ancient coffin.
"Okay, I see. Imu looked at the ancient coffin and nodded helplessly. Then he glanced at this ancient coffin with complicated eyes, and then turned around and walked out of this strange place.
In the city lord's mansion, "Xiao Ai, I listened to the report of my subordinates, you have been attacked again." A middle-aged man with black hair and a dignified appearance in a black dress looked at Chloe and said worriedly.
"Yes, but those people have been chased away by my companions, and they won't be coming back anytime soon. Chloe looked at the middle-aged man with black hair who cared about him and said lightly.
"It's my father's bad that has put you in danger of getting involved in this power struggle, and I'll thank you personally when your companions arrive. The dark-haired middle-aged man looked at Chloe and said apologetically.
The black-haired middle-aged man is Chloe's father, Germain, the younger brother of the current Emperor of the Easter Empire and the lord of Carter City.
"yes, I see. Chloe looked at Germain with a blank expression.
"Hey, after all these years, you still blame me for not protecting your mother, but this time I will definitely protect you. Germain looked at the expressionless Chloe and sighed.
"I've grown up and don't need your protection, so you better protect yourself now. Chloe looked at Germain and said politely.
"Alright, don't be willful, Reiner will come to Carter City in a few days to talk to me about the marriage, and I will be relieved that you have him to protect me at that time. Germain looked at Chloe, who was too lazy to pay attention to himself, and said helplessly.
"I don't like Reiner, and I don't want to marry him, please don't make decisions for me," Chloe looked at Germain and said coldly.
"Nonsense! This is not only your personal marriage, but also the marriage of the Empire and the Temple, how can it be canceled just because you don't like it," Jermaine suddenly said angrily.
"If the empire wants to marry the temple, it is better to find someone else, anyway, Your Majesty does not have no daughter, and I will not be a tool for your marriage. Chloe looked at Germain and said coldly.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, I didn't let you marry the temple for you, I am a member of the royal family, but now that the royal brother is seriously ill, and the internal struggle of the royal family is serious, they all want to use you to threaten me to help them seize the throne, and you can only be safe under the protection of the temple. Moreover, the marriage was proposed by the Empire at that time, and if it was canceled now, it would only offend the Temple. Germain shook his head and looked at Chloe, helplessly.
"This is a problem that you need to solve on your own, and I now have a companion you can trust. Don't worry about it, Father. Chloe looked at Germain and said coldly. After saying that, he turned around and walked to his room.
