Just as Chen Xing was riding a flying dragon, overlooking the endless ruins of the city, and lamenting the prosperity and wealth of the past, tens of thousands of kilometers away, in a towering tower in the "Red Castle" of the Red Dragon Principality, the eldest princess Lacey... Maris was having afternoon tea with her eldest brother, the second prince Finn Maris, in the side hall.
"Dear brother, I heard that you have been obsessed with a woman recently and have been rejected several times to propose marriage. Is this true?"
Lacey asked casually as she gently stirred the black tea and milk in the cup with a small silver spoon.
"Dear sister, you are so well informed."
Finn showed his white and neat teeth, and his smile was bright and sunny, without the slightest hint of embarrassment. But this is normal. As the second prince of the Red Dragon Principality, a postdoctoral fellow at the Royal Academy of Ice Blue City, and a strong guard, he does have the capital to be confident.
"Is this called psychic?" Lacey smiled, "Who else in the Red Castle doesn't know about this? Not to mention the maids, I'm afraid even the cook in the back kitchen knows about it."
Finn's face finally showed a trace of embarrassment, and his smile was a little bitter, "My dear sister, please don't ridicule me." He said frankly, "I do like that girl, but I don't know why, she would rather run away from home. He was unwilling to accept my pursuit, even when he was down and out, and now that he is a great healer, I feel like my hope is slim.”
"Do you know why?"
Lacey slid her black jade-like eyes and glanced at her younger brother, her charming look instantly touching.
Her eyes are long and narrow, her nose is high, her facial lines are as sharp as a knife, she is cold and gorgeous, and she has a clear sense of love and hate, which makes people feel a strong sense of conquest.
Finn seemed to be used to it, and he had developed a certain resistance to his sister's inadvertently revealing charm. If it were an ordinary man, he would probably be in a state of confusion and incoherence immediately.
Among all kinds of beauty, "cold" and "enchanting" are the ones most likely to arouse male impulses. Lacey is famous for her coolness and has few rivals. It is said that the third princess of Ice Blue City, Cuilisi, is of the same type. She is cold, arrogant, and unparalleled in beauty, even worse than Lacey. However, there is water mist around her body all year round, and very few people have seen her true appearance. In addition, because of her high status and powerful strength, it is unlikely to appear in popular magazines, so Lacey is even more famous.
Chen Xing had also fantasized about her photos back then, and the lethality was evident.
"My brother is stupid, please ask my sister for guidance." Finn stood up, put one hand on his chest, and saluted Lacey.
"She already has someone she likes..." Lacey put down the cup and folded her hands on her knees. "In other words, she was drugged."
"Who?" Finn's face gradually turned cold, and his voice was low and gloomy.
"In order to track down this person, I have spent a lot of effort." When talking about the key point, Lacey played it off.
"If I can marry the eldest lady of Ye Yang's family, I will be my sister's most loyal supporter from now on." Fein's face hardened and he said seriously.
"Haha, you are really promising. It seems that our Maris family has a lover who doesn't love the country but loves the beauty." Lacey teased. Then he picked up the hollow sandalwood fan on the table and fanned himself gently.
"Sister, I really like her. As long as you have seen her, you will definitely like her. She is well-educated, beautiful and dignified, like a goddess walking down from the sacred mountain. I fell in love at the first sight..."
Finn said vividly, his eyes were shining and his expression was full of energy.
"Don't say useless things, I'm not interested in the throne." Lacey put away her fan with a "swish" sound, interrupting him.
Finn hesitated for a moment and took out a small, delicate box from his clothes. The box was two fingers wide and half a finger long, smaller than the box where the ring was placed. He knew that his sister was a master who would not let go of the eagle before seeing the rabbit, and if he wanted to get benefits from her, he would definitely have to pay a price.
Lacey took the box, flicked it with her slender fingers, and the black velvet lid popped up, revealing a piece of metal fragment covered with patina and a bit whitish on the surface.
The fragments are engraved with horizontal and vertical textures, like a maze. Lacey didn't see what it was, so she raised her eyes and glanced at Finn.
"I have been looking for the fragments of the Mechanical Cemetery for many days..." Finn explained. This is a fragment of the mechanical heroic spirit he acquired for his most loyal supporter, Leandre Ralph, the elder of the principality.
More than half a year ago, when Leander was in charge of exploring an underground shelter in Orchid Town, the two most important mechanical heroes, the Assassins, were suddenly destroyed by the legendary strongman Shad Sinclair, the mayor of Orchid Town. The Angamazo type and the War type Ogamaso.
Leander suffered heavy losses. If he wants to regain his strength, he must take another risk to communicate with the undercurrent of time and space and find a new Yuling. The undercurrent of time and space is profound and boundless, and a given place can only be found through "media". The fragment in front of me comes from the "mechanical graveyard", which was left over when the undercurrent of time and space hit the red earth world. It can be used as a "space-time beacon" to directly guide the consciousness of the person involved to the mechanical graveyard, reducing the search time and thus reducing the risk of being caught. The probability of discovery by the ancient god.
For the sake of my sweetheart, I had to aggrieve my old loyal servant.
The corner of Lacey's mouth curled up, and she closed the box and put it aside. She changed her position again, crossed her legs and propped her elbows on the sofa. The captain of the third team is now exiled to the Black Death Continent."
"Squad captain?" Fein repeated, somewhat unbelievable that Ye Yang Bailiu actually rejected his proposal for the sake of a squad leader.
"Yes, captain, and he is a gangster, a shameless person, more annoying than a gangster rat..." Thinking of Chen Xing's hooligan behavior that day, Lacey hated him so much that she unconsciously increased her tone. A hint of anger came out of his voice. A little ant dared to make such an obscene gesture to her, the eldest princess. Even if the body was cut into pieces, it would be difficult to quell her anger.
The corners of Finn's mouth raised slightly, as if he saw something.
"In short, he is just a piece of garbage and a toad. If he wants to get your Yeyang Bailiu, just find a way to make him disappear." After venting, Lacey regained her composure and concluded.
"My sister seems to hate him after me..." Finn smiled, "In that case, why don't you do it yourself?" The Maris family are all smart people, who will not bite when they see a flaw. The other party obviously wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and accepted his gift in vain. He is not stupid. He makes wedding clothes for others for free, even though this person is his biological sister.
Lacey's face suddenly turned pale, and she realized her gaffe, and her hatred for Chen Xing deepened.
"I am responsible for persuading father to go to Gray Point City to propose marriage for you, and you..." Lacey gritted her teeth, "responsible for preventing any future troubles!"
"The Chen Xing you are talking about seems to have something to do with Shad Sinclair..." Finn seemed to have some scruples. After all, the Legend of the Deep Sea was not easy to mess with.
"What is a pirate leader? He just has a shabby warship. How can he withstand the flames of the red dragon? What's more..." While speaking, Lacey looked towards the direction of the Thousand Candles Hall.
"Will the Lord take action?" Finn asked subconsciously.
"What do you think?" Lacey asked, then with a "swish" sound, she opened the fan and gently fanned her neckline.
"I understand." Finn nodded slightly, "Dear sister, I will make arrangements right away."
Lacey grinned, "My dearest brother, I will wait here for your good news."
