Chapter 642: As smart as ever

   Chapter 642
  Tales stared at the Seychelles knight on the horse, quickly thinking about the situation in front of him.
what happened?
  He has just arrived in the Emerald City, and has not even stepped into the Kongming Palace.
  This city, is he so unwelcome?
  Of course, the inner voice reminded him in a low voice: Don’t forget what you are here for.
  Don’t forget the ring in your pocket.
  People on both sides of the street stopped their work. Due to the power of the two parties, they did not dare to approach, but they inevitably talked:
   "Is that really a prince? That North Star? The one who personally took the sword off the court at the banquet and cut the blood into a river, even the wine glass was broken?"
   "Where did you hear the rumors? At best, he cut down the assassin alone!"
   "Wow, look at that prince. He is such a big man and looks like a zombie. It really is a barbarian from the north..."
   "Then, of course, if it weren't for that, you could drink blood in Exeter's kind of furry, and in the winter you can only survive in a cave where you can only hide in the ghosts of human flesh?"
  "But you seem to be mistaken. Although the big guy is a nobleman, he doesn't seem to be a prince, but a bodyguard..."
  "Hey, I want to use such a big guy as a bodyguard. I guess I'm afraid of people thinking about doing a lot of bad things. It really is a barbarian in the north..."
   "The green hats mean, the prince is hiding the fugitive?"
  "The power is overwhelming. Of course, the law is regarded as nothing. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Who knows what's more nasty underneath..."
  "Be careful, please drink tea from the Security Department to sue you for slander and slander, to instigate opposition between the government and the people..."
   "It is not open and transparent, and no one is allowed to snoop, then of course we can only guess in the dirty place..."
   "Why do you think the king exiled him? That must be a heinous crime! That is to prevent the common people from knowing..."
   "Master Jain actually wants to marry Miss Hille to such a person, oh, what kind of world is this..."
   "Do you think we have a choice, but that is the man from the capital, who wants your sister, do you dare to refuse? Are you not patriotic or don't support the royal family?"
  At the center of countless lights, the Star Lake Guard stood in front of the Emerald Legion.
   "His Royal Highness, this matter is about the face of the royal family, we can't show weakness." Huaiya came to Thales' side, worried.
   Thales did not speak.
   "But they came prepared, and there are a lot of people," Miranda carefully observed the surroundings, "Although we may not be the elite, but the battle is still unclear."
  In the front of the queue, Police Officer Caguire was caught in the middle, trying to persuade Seychelles and Mallos to make peace with each other, but obviously it had little effect.
   "How about showing the Nine-pointed Star Banner," D.D had a clue, "Although they are in a big battle, they must not dare to do anything in the face of the Royal Family of Stars."
  Zombie squinted:
   "Like the last time I entered the Fuxing Palace?"
  Doyle looked dark:
  "Can you not mention that?"
"No, if we have a tough attitude, then that's the truth," Miranda said coldly. Eternal Star City bully who hides the dirt and deceives others."
  These words silenced everyone in Xinghu Castle.
   "So now, we are detrimental to our dignity when we make friends, and if we don't make friends, we deceive others," Wiya said angrily, "this is deliberate."
   "Yes," Thales said suddenly, "this is intentional."
  The people around all looked at the prince.
   "On the first day, I was scammed twice before I saw anyone," D.D sighed, "Isn't it because your Royal Highness wants to marry his sister? As for this?"
   Thales sighed:
   "Yes, marrying his sister, I really don't want to."
  Everyone glanced at the prince again.
   "Your Highness," Miranda first reacted, "What did you think of?"
   "No, it's okay for the time being," Thales said in a daze, "It might be a long time."
  Miranda was lost in thought.
  Ah, His Royal Highness is starting to chatter again-this is helpless D.D.
  Ah, His Royal Highness is starting to chatter again—this is the exhilarating Huaiya.
  "His Royal Highness Thales," at the Emerald Legion, Seychelles was tired of negotiating with Mallos. He said directly, "We are going to perform official duties. Would you please do it for your convenience?"
  Tyles asked him to wait a bit, and then let him bring Dagori.
   "So, you told me earlier that Jain sent you?"
   "Your Highness, Your Highness, I, I don't know what this is all about. It stands to reason that this shouldn't be..." Dagoli was sweating profusely, and his pleading was beyond words.
  Tels snorted softly:
   "I guess, Jain sent you to approach me, not to spy on the news, but to discredit me."
  Dagory swallowed his throat.
  In front of the team, the confrontation between Mallos and Seychelles continued, and it was Security Officer Caguire who almost broke his lips, and the two refused to give up.
   "He may have discovered that you have a problem, for example, you cheated on his back for embezzling money?"
  Dagory was shocked when he heard this, and denied:
   "What? Your Highness, I don't have..."
   "Don't be sophistry, otherwise he won't sacrifice you so decisively."
   Thales interrupted him with a dignified tone:
   "So, if you get caught, what will happen to you?"
  Dagory remembered something, and his face paled:
   "Oh, no, high seas, boat..."
  Tels nodded and sighed:
   "Then you are lucky today."
  After saying this, Thales turned around and said loudly in the direction of the green hat-the Emerald Legion:
   "Knight of Seychelles, right, I remember you!"
  Emerald Legion and Star Lake Castle, including the attention of onlookers on the street, were attracted.
  Seychelles looked back at Thales, but looked cold and did not answer.
   "Seven years ago, in an assassination in Yongxing City," Thales continued, "Together with Duke Jen, you saved my life and saved the hope of the kingdom."
  This remark caused a lot of discussion in the crowd.
   "Really," Seychelles didn't move, "Excuse me for not remembering."
   Thales nodded.
  It's really hard to deal with.
   "Or to be precise, I saved Jane's life first," Thales said, "I saved your life again and saved you from the shame of negligence-I guess, don't you remember?"
  As soon as the words came out, the discussion in the street became louder.
  "Have you ever heard of this?"
  D.D wondered: "He saved His Royal Highness's life? Such a great contribution?"
  Huaiya, Rolf, Glover, Miranda... Everyone in Star Lake Castle narrowed their eyes and looked at Seychelles with unfriendly eyes.
  Seychelles frowned, he looked at the people around him, cleverly not answering:
   "His Royal Highness, please let your subordinates step aside, so that the Emerald Legion can arrest the prisoners."
  It's really not leaking.
  Thyls muttered in his heart.
   "Relax, look at this old love," Thales laughed, "I will naturally not hinder your office."
  Dagory, who was a little relieved, was startled when he heard the words, and his knees softened:
   "No, Your Highness! Please--"
  But the crime of Hell River began to burn, and Thales dragged him from the ground:
"stand up!"
  Tyles pulled Dagoli in front of him, gritted his teeth and whispered:
   "The suffering of prison is indispensable, but do you still want to survive?"
  Dagory was stunned.
  In front of the team, Seychelles is not in a hurry. It seems that he is happy to see Dagori pulling and pulling in the prince’s team, and to have more relationships.
  "Then show your ability to persuade me to drink," Thales whispered, "tell the secret between you and Jen, and beg for mercy—not to me, to him."
"what?"
   "You heard what I said," Thales's expression remained unchanged, "Now."
   "But—" The terrified Dagoli wanted to ask again, but a huge force surged in Thales's hand, pushing him two meters away, and fell to the ground fiercely.
  Seychelles saw this scene and hummed softly.
  This prince is rational.
  He at least knows that unnecessary confrontation will only smear him more and more
   "Master Jen!"
  A scream like a pig, from Dagori:
   "You can't treat me like this! Over the years, I have collected information and circulation information for you and Kevin Deere's family.
  The people on the street were in an uproar again.
  The complexion of Seychelles changed slightly.
   "Nonsense," the knight shouted violently, "take him down!"
  The Emerald Legion had been prepared for a long time, and a group of cavalry was about to step forward.
   "No one is allowed to move!"
  Malios suddenly said loudly:
   "Protect Your Highness!"
  The people in Star Lake Fort got the order, and they all drew out their weapons to force the soldiers of the Emerald Legion back.
   "Master Jen, you, your people promised me back then!"
  Dagori, who was originally frightened by the soldiers, was even more confident when he saw it. He struggled from the ground, approached in the direction of Seychelles, and cleverly hid behind Mallos.
"As long as I am in the central leadership to expand my business and get to know the nobles of the royal capital, whether it is your funds, raw materials, equipment, access, or technology, the Iris family and the Emerald City will continue to give me, how much How much do you give!"
  He trembles and slips to the ground, tearful and heartbroken:
"Yes, I have done a lot of bad things, shoddy, defaulted on debts, bribed officials... But that was his order, all for Kevin Deere! I ran out of money for the raw materials of the grape growers, Put all the book losses on a few temporary workers who went wrong. In the end, I closed the wine shop and sneaked to the Emerald City, but that was your wish! Duke Jen ordered me to do it! He! Saying this is necessary, anyway, it won't be lost on the Emerald City! He said it!"
  Tyles was behind him and held his forehead.
  This is the time, and I still don’t forget to shirk responsibility.
  The exclamation on the street came and went, and the discussion became louder and more and more mixed.
  Seychelles was shocked and angry: "Take him!"
  But Mallos took the initiative to block his mount at this time, preventing him from moving forward.
"Duke Jen, you can't, you can't turn your face and deny people at this time! You, the person you connected with me, the Charlie of the Wine Merchants Association, the clerk of the Notary Hall, and the report to Mr. Butler every quarter "
   Hearing this, Thales suddenly spoke:
"To shut up!"
  The prince strode forward and scolded Dagori:
   "Duke Jen is not fair, bright wind, how can he do this kind of flies, let alone framing you out of thin air!"
  Dagory was taken aback:
   "His Royal Highness, what I said is true, please help me..."
   Thales shouted:
   "Let him shut up!"
  D.D was stunned for a moment, but Miranda on the other side took the lead, and a scabbard stunned Dagori, who had not reacted.
   "Unbelievable, it is simply appalling," Thales was surprised at first, and then angry, "but a merchant, dare to spit so much blood and slander the guardian duke of our kingdom!"
  Seychelles saw that Dagori did not say any more, so he snorted:
   "In that case..."
   "It's really outrageous!"
Thales interrupted him angrily and pointed to the unconscious Dagoli on the ground: "Duke Jayne has paid a lot for the kingdom and the South Bank leader, but he has to be slandered and slandered by such villains. The true teachings are indignant! "
Behind the prince, everyone in Star Lake Castle looked at Thales in a daze, with mixed feelings.
  Miranda gave a little cough:
   "The stage cavity is too much."
  Tales heard the words and quickly adjusted his voice.
   Seychelles tightened his eyebrows, he instinctively felt bad: "In that case..."
  "How can Jayne have to do with such nasty things? If it weren't for the respect of Duke Jayne and the city laws of the Emerald City, I would now like to cut him with a sword!" Thales waved angrily.
  D.D reacted very quickly this time and handed out the saber, but before holding the sword and shouting "His Royal Highness, please", Miranda pressed it back.
  Seychelles had a complex expression for a moment: "In that case..."
   "In that case, Captain Seychelles!"
  Tels finally took over from Seychelles:
  "Please arrest him now!"
   Seychelles frowned: "That's natural, come here—"
  "Let’s him to Kongming Palace together and confront Duke Janen!"
   Thales shouted angrily, awe-inspiring:
   "Vow to return the Lord Duke to his innocence!"
  Seychelles was stunned.
  Sergeant Caquere also grew his mouth, and Mallos turned his head and frowned.
What?
  The voices of the surrounding people became noisy again, yelling, and boisterous.
"Don't worry, Jayne is my friend, and he may still be a brother-in-law in the future," Thales unceremoniously climbed up his relatives. Injustice not in vain!"
  After saying this, Thales snatched the rein in Jenard's hand, took Jenny and rushed up, scaring the horses of the Emerald Legion to and fro: "Let's go!"
   Seychelles struggled to control the rein of the horse, and also signaled his colleagues who had lost control of the horse not to run into the prince. He was very focused and said anxiously:
   "No, this criminal has nothing to do with the Duke"
   "Oh, I see, you have something to say!"
  Tyles woke up, and while pulling Jenny (who looked at him aggrievedly) forward, he gave a loud order:
   "In this case, Star Lake Guard, for the sake of law and justice, immediately arrest Dagori Moss!"
"Yes!"
  Holding for a long time, Doyle finally found a place to use his skills. He roared, stepped forward, and grabbed one of the wrists of Dagori who was unconscious on the ground:
   "The arrest is over, Your Highness! The prisoner has been captured!"
  Huiya frowned behind and whispered:
   "His actions and lines are a bit familiar?"
   "Last time I went to the palace," Glover reminded reluctantly, "Brother Hanging."
  The few people who had broken through the Fuxing Palace suddenly realized.
   Seychelles, who was strangling the mount, reacted, and he coughed:
   "No, Your Highness, I have received it with good intentions. The Emerald City has its own laws, and we will follow the process to treat him..."
   "That would be better, Captain Seychelles!"
  Thyls was pleasantly surprised and turned on Jenny’s saddle:
"I know that the Judgment Hall is also in the Kongming Palace, so I just go straight to the Judgment Hall. I will watch this person be tried and plead guilty today, and then I will tell the world, in front of the entire Emerald City, to wash away the stigma of injustice for Duke Jen! "
   Seychelles tried to control the mount that was irritable for no reason, while being shocked and speechless.
no……
  The people of the Star Lake Guard, driven by D.D, squeezed forward with the prince. The Emerald Legion did not know what to do, and was in a frenzy for a while.
"Go, let's go, everyone from the South Bank! Go to Kongming Palace!" Doyle threw Dagori on (unhappy) Glover's back, agitating the people on the whole street to commotion, Luo Wolf also added a strong wind.
  Seychelles urged the soldiers to try to control the course of things.
   "Captain Seychelles! This matter is about the dignity of the kingdom, and the duke’s reputation is not to be delayed! Look at the people around here, there will be rumors everywhere!"
   Thales came to him, seemingly eagerly asked:
   "Now, is there anyone who wants to stop?"
  
   Kongming Palace, the main palace, the living room.
Seven hundred years ago, the first generation of the South Bank Guardian Duke, the huge portrait of "Deadly Iris" Leinster Kevin Deere, hung on the wall that would never be overlooked when entering the door, and the hanging wall hanging in the hall On the flag, there are patterns of three-color irises everywhere.
  Jean Kevin Deere sat blankly under the portrait of his ancestor, and stretched out his hand to wave back a cup of tea from Ashford, the butler.
   "My lord, the specific situation, that's it, that's it."
  The Seychelles knight gritted his teeth and looked at Dagoli Moss, who was still unconscious on the ground, tightly bound.
  Seychelles glanced sideways:
  The Duke of Star Lake is sitting diagonally across from Jen, watching the portrait of the deadly iris while tasting tea and grapes comfortably.
  That nasty little...
  Jane sighed, drawing Seychelles' attention back.
  He looked at Dagori on the ground and snorted coldly.
  On the opposite side, Thales pouted, snorting tea, making a rude noise, no one was beside him.
  Jen frowned.
  Doesn’t the royal family teach etiquette?
  Damn barbarian.
  Two seconds later, Ashford, the butler, appeared silently, took Thales’ teacup, and when he returned it, there was an extra wooden straw on it.
  "For children only." Ashford smiled honestly.
day.
  Thyls was a little self-confident and put down the teacup in a jealousy.
  Marius, who was standing beside Thales, said in a breath: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
  Tyles coughed, then turned his head and covered his mouth lightly:
   "Our top priority is to gain a foothold in this hostile town, not to be unidentified and be beaten by the head..."
   "I can hear you, Your Highness." Jen's voice came from his ears.
  Tyles sat up awkwardly and raised his teacup again:
   "Well, do you have flower tea? Come on, Thor, you have a whole cup too. Unbelievable, I finally drank tea that is neither bitter nor brewed..."
  Jen sighed heavily.
   "Seychelles, take the prisoner down."
   Seychelles, who is in a slumped mood, bowed his head.
  Sure enough, the sound of the boy next to him began to crackle again:
   "Ah, don't you want to go to trial? Let the whole Emerald City have a look..."
   "We have scented tea here," Zhan En forcefully resisted his temper. "There are them all over the world, so can you please concentrate on tasting them, Your Royal Highness?"
  Thyls nodded hehe:
"certainly."
  Seychelles and his subordinates were about to take Dagori away, when Thales suddenly looked up:
"uh-huh?"
  This hum makes them stagnate again.
  A few seconds later, Jen exhaled again:
  "Seychelles, be gentle."
   Thales smiled and waved to let Mallos leave:
   "Tor, let go, treat this as our home and feel at home."
  These words made the gully on Jen's forehead a little deeper.
   Soon, the huge living room became empty and empty, leaving only Thales and Jane.
   and the deadly iris on the portrait.
   "I knew this trick would not trouble you."
  As soon as the door closed, Jane spoke softly.
  But what greeted him was--
   Pop it!
   A crisp sound.
  Jen frowned and looked at the debris on the ground: "That is a porcelain cup imported from Donglu."
  I know, pay the last debt.
  The next second, Thales faded his smile and went straight ahead:
"what do you mean?"
  Jen didn’t care: "I should ask this, you came to my city..."
"You, it's you who let the former wine merchant approach me," Thales stopped talking nonsense, and met Jayne's eyes. "So he knew I was coming, including the little earl who was fighting for love. Knowing that I will be there waiting to enter the city."
  Jen snorted softly.
   "And you, Your Highness, you know that he has a problem, but you still accept him to join your team? It reminds me of the veteran I sent to your team seven years ago-what is his name, Jason?"
  The gazes of the Duke of Star Lake and the Duke of South Bank met in the air. They were both cold and sharp, but they also had the same reservations.
   is like the starting round of Bijian.
   "His name is Jenard-you really dare to mention that."
  Thyls expressionlessly:
   "I accept Moss because I guessed he was sent by you. It might be useful to keep him-of course, what happened later confirmed my guess."
   "You guessed it?"
  Jane smiled sarcastically: "Or do you know it?"
   "It doesn't matter anymore," Thales shook his head. "The important thing is that Moss is indeed your person and has been serving you for many years."
  The Duke of South Bank looked at him calmly.
"My people have checked the asset accounts of Dagori Moss in recent years," Jaen does not deny. "To be honest, as far as the dirty things he has done in the past few years, what he should do now is immediately Go abroad, don’t let me find him incognito, instead of inviting me to spy by your side—that’s not normal, right?"
  Damn secret.
  Thyls cursed in his heart.
  You guys really came to cheat me.
  He was silent on his face:
   "But according to Moss, you forced him to approach me."
  Jane sneered and said:
   "I bet that if he is arraigned now, he will snot and tear, saying that you actually forced him to betray me."
  I did not force it.
   Thales secretly said.
  But...it seems to be the same.
  He coughed: "So this time, I suspect that he is yours, and you suspect that he is mys. We are all in trouble. It's boring to ask ourselves?"
  Jen did not answer.
  But after a few seconds, his eyes sharpened
  "I know what tricks you are playing, my dear majesty. Do you think that if you instigate a under the Emerald City, you can come to my place to play wildly, from the inside out, following the vines and melons?"
   Thales frowned.
  Jane snorted coldly:
  "But this board is not yours, it is more complicated than you think."
   "Return the original words. Do you think that giving a sword at the royal banquet can directly attack the weakness and want me to look good?" Thales retorted, "Now, I'm just asking for interest."
  Jen laughed.
  He stretched out his hand, grabbed a stack of letters from the side, and threw it in front of Thales:
   "You mean this?"
  Tels frowned, he recognized it.
  It was a letter sent by King Kessel on his behalf of "Mixed Breeding Hu"-compared to the Arund family, it seems to have changed the title and signature.
  It's really rough.
  In addition to this, there is one of his...
   "This portrait is not good," Thales curled up his mouth, "You know, I grow fast."
  But the other party didn't mean to make a joke.
   "I don't care what you are here for, Thales."
"I don't care if you come to trouble me or come to die," Jaen threatened. "But if you want to come, then I will welcome you, just like today. If you want to live, then I will give you... commensurate Entertain—until you get out of my territory."
  Entertainment.
  Thyls pouted in his heart.
poor guy.
  Does he know?
  Come here by yourself, not just to ask for trouble.
   is far from personal grievances.
  At that moment, Thales vaguely felt the heaviness of the bone ring in his pocket.
  You are here to destroy him.
  The voice in my heart said.
  For the stars.
  "Jane, you said," Thales said deeply after a long silence, "You and me, we must be hostile to each other, are you dead or alive?"
  At that moment, the prince's tone was a little low.
  Jean caught this, his eyebrows moved slightly.
"What's the meaning?"
   Thales sighed and put down his portrait.
   "Well, Jen, in fact, the first thing I came here..."
   "Don't even think about it," Jen shook his head slightly, "Sile is not in the city, you can't see her."
  Talston gave it a bit.
   "Actually, I want to say, I'm here to apologize, Jen."
  Jen frowned.
"Apologize?"
   Thales nodded: "The sword at the royal banquet, I understand your anger. You probably think that my idea of ​​hitting your sister as soon as I return to China is retaliating against you and provoking you? So you want to fight back?"
  This time, Jane looked at him for a long time, seemingly surprised, and vigilant:
"but?"
  Tyles took a deep breath: "But—previously, I’m still worried about you using the blood to assassinate me—but this, your sister?"
  The prince raised the letter of "Matching Almost" and said sincerely:
   "I swear, this was not my intention, and even this letter was not written by myself."
  Jen stared at him and hummed softly:
   "If not, how can you show your contempt and provocation?"
   "Well, would it make you feel better if I wrote it myself?"
"will not."
   "That's not right."
  The two people in the living room were silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Anyway, I apologize for this," Thales spoke first, and he shook his head, "but please believe that I have no intention of coveting your sister, let alone taking revenge on you-I haven't done so yet. I swear This was my father’s idea. I didn’t know it beforehand. In fact, I didn’t know the truth not long ago.

  Jen stared at him, looking inquiring, only to make a sound after a long while.
   "Why should I believe you?"
   "Because you know me, just like I know you."
   "You don't know me," Jen denied, "Not at all."
   "Then you must also trust me."
   Thales constricted his expression: "For what I will tell you next."
   "And that is?"
   Thales took a deep breath.
   "Listen well, Jayne Kevin Deere. I have received fairly reliable information," the Duke of Star Lake said solemnly, "At this moment, there are people in the Emerald City who are trying to disadvantage you."
   Be quiet in the living room.
  Jen looked at him and suddenly smiled.
  "I know this trick: Someone wants to harm me, and you happen to be able to help," the Duke of South Bank sneered: "So in order to survive, I'd better cooperate with you and love each other?"
   "Okay." Thales exhaled, somewhat helpless.
   "That man is my father."
  These words made Jane's expression change.
  I saw Thales leaning forward, looking directly into Jayne’s eyes very seriously:
   "Yes, the Supreme King of the Star Kingdom, Kessel V, he wants to be against the Emerald City-against you."
   "At this moment, now, here."
   "Carry the power of the king."
  At that moment, the time flowing in the hall was like being hammered hard, breaking the balance and no longer being uniform.
  Jan is still expressionless.
  But his eyes were nailed to Thales’ face, and he hadn’t moved away for a long time.
  Almost more unbearable than the "covenant" in Thales' pocket.
  Tels felt a little thirsty, but he lowered his head to remember that his cup of tea had long been broken.
  He had to sigh.
   "So yes, in order to survive, Jen, you'd better cooperate with me and have a blind date"
  Talston gave it a bit.
   "Well, just cooperate."
  Jen did not speak.
  He just looked at Thales’ face over and over again.
  It's as if there is a password that needs to be cracked hidden on it.
"that's all."
  Finally, Thales could not bear such a sight, he stood up:
  "If you want to know more, if you are still interested, you know that I live—well, I don’t even know where I live now."
   just now.
  "How do I know that you are not talking about it," Jen said softly, "Your father?"
   Thales laughed.
"That wine merchant, if what we said is true, then I thought he was sent by you, and you thought he was instigated by me," Thales shrugged, "but whether he dares to return to Emerald Cheng faces you, or he voluntarily spies on me, there is no reason behind it."
  Tyers' voice tightened suddenly:
   "There is only one explanation."
  Zhan En narrowed his eyes: "The Kingdom's Secret Branch."
   Thales smiled: "You are not stupid yet."
  These words made Jane look cold.
"And my father wrote this letter to you in my name. As far as I know, he sent it to no less than ten families," Thales spread his hands and gestured to the furnishings in the Kongming Palace. But now I am here, Emerald City."
  The lines on Jen's face gradually disappeared, no emotions can be seen.
  "Do you think this is because he likes the jade celebration? Or is it because he likes you?"
  Jenn did not speak, he looked straight ahead with a calm expression.
   is like the ancestor behind you.
  Thyls couldn’t wait any longer, he sighed:
   "Okay, let's get back to the topic: Where does your sister live?"
  Jane's eyes moved, and they pierced Thales like a sharp blade.
   "Just kidding," Thales had to raise his hand to surrender, "see if you are still alive."
  But Jain's eyes are still sharp, which is unbearable.
  Tyles smiled awkwardly and walked towards the door.
All right.
   is at least a gesture.
  More things have to wait until...
   "Go to Ashford."
   Thales stopped and turned around.
   "He will arrange a room for you," under the huge portrait of the deadly iris, the owner of the Emerald City said lightly, "and a new teacup."
   "Uh, thank you?" Thales raised his eyebrows.
  Jenn did not look at him again.
  The Duke of South Bank just lowered his head again and looked at the pile of broken tiles on the ground.
  They lay helplessly on the floor tiles of Kongming Palace, lonely.
   is never complete.
   "One more thing: Hille is not in the city."
  Jane said indifferently:
   "This sentence is true."
  
   "Your Highness?"
   Mallos followed Thales who walked out of the living room.
   "We are safe."
  The smile on Thales’s face disappeared:
  "For the time being, there will be no more jealous little noblemen who come to a duel with me, or some bad-looking merchants come to take refuge in me."
  Malios didn’t change his face: "Just temporarily?"
  Tels glanced at him: "Don’t be so demanding, Thor, do you know the hardest thing in this world?"
   "Well, refuse to join a wine merchant who is obviously problematic?"
   Thales suffocated when he heard the words.
   "My dear Captain of the Guard, can you one day not ridicule me? Even one day?"
   "Of course, Your Highness. What is the hardest thing, let me think about it. Based on your experience just now, I guess it is: lying?"
   Lying.
   Thales was silent for a second.
   "Yes, but not," Thales snorted coldly. "The hardest thing is to mix the truth with lies, and then embed the lies with the truth."
  Malles curled his mouth slightly.
   "It sounds like something human can do."
   "Isn't it—you're calling me not a human?"
   "Don't dare. I mean, only your Royal Highness can do such a difficult thing."
   "You are scolding me as expected."
   "His Royal Highness is very smart."
   "How did you do it without a dirty word, which seems to be a boast, but in fact it is a curse?"
   "The key is not me."
   "You... scold me again?"
   "His Royal Highness is as bright as ever."
Although   　 is not the sword of the day watch, it can barely be regarded as the "sword of the three day watch", right? (Furthermore, it's even more than 9,000 words)
