Devil’s Son-in-Law - Chapter 1005

[Chapter 989 Lan Bisi’s Ambition]

“It is indeed an early reunion,” Lanbisi quickly calmed down and showed a shallow smile: “I know that the identity of the messenger is a bit abrupt and will arouse suspicion… But what I am curious about is why you glanced at me. Did you see through me? My Transfiguration was taught by the old dean Carlisle, even a saint-level powerhouse might not be able to see through it. Don’t tell me that the weak boy of that year already had the strength of the saint-level or even surpassed the saint-level. ”

I hope your guess… or your blessings will come true, but unfortunately, the truth is that I was almost killed by that damn guy with a scroll, and then unfortunately was hit hard by the aftermath of some big man.” Chen Rui pointed to himself With a haggard face, he sighed, “I’ll tell you the truth, the reason I saw through you was because of a special ability I got, you can think of it as the crafter’s talent for certain fields. , In fact, this kind of talent can’t completely penetrate the cover of Transfiguration. The most important thing is that you give me a sense of familiarity. I seem to see the person who likes to read quietly in the library, but sometimes there are some unexpected things The little prankster…the little girl.”

Most of Arthur’s memory fragments are now complete, Lanbis was his elementary school girl at the Starlight Academy, and as the royal nobles of the two empires, the two have a lot of intersections. , Although the friendship is ordinary, it is also an old acquaintance.

The last sentence made Lanbisi’s eyes glide over the memory of her memory, and then she smiled: “I don’t think the talent of the ‘craft maker’ you mentioned is suitable for all craftsmen, right? Master Arthur Your Excellency.”

Chen Rui also smiled, took out a bottle of wine and two glasses, and poured her a glass of wine.

He raised his glass and said, “Everything in life is different, but the master is actually just a fluke. The biggest fluke in seven years.

” The boy who was infatuated with Teacher Veronica has also become a famous master today,” Lanbis took the glass, took a sip of wine and looked up at him, “Can you tell me that you disappeared? What happened in the past seven years?”

Chen Rui said indifferently: “I was just struggling to survive in a strange place. Fortunately, I have survived until now.”

“So, seven years later. You are now in everyone’s sight again?”

“Why, shouldn’t it?” Chen Rui looked at Lan Bisi with a smile, was he finally about to get to the point?

“There’s nothing that should or shouldn’t,” Lanbisi shook her head and put down her cup: “I’m just a little bit emotional, and the plan can’t keep up with the changes.”

Chen Rui frowned on purpose: “Your Highness the princess means… I The appearance of you, sabotaged one of your plans?”

“Can I speak frankly?”

“Of course,

” Chen Rui said with a smile, “I believe that you are not here just to catch up with me or meet in advance.”

Lan Bisi nodded slightly: “When I was studying in the academy, I was just an ignorant little girl, just like you said, I like to read quietly in the library and make fun of people from time to time. I also dreamed of it. The love in the book does not give too much consideration to life or plans. After the empire announced the marriage with you, my life was suddenly decided like this. A little girl who doesn’t understand what love is, she is about to marry To a man who definitely doesn’t love you. You… can’t understand that feeling.”

“Perhaps, you have a different feeling in your heart. Because the woman you are infatuated with ends up marrying someone else.” Lanbis revealed A mocking smile: “Actually, as the princess of the Lanyao Empire, political marriage is unavoidable. To be honest, I don’t have any bad feelings for you. It may be better to marry you than to marry those nasty guys. When I accepted my fate, you, my fiancé, disappeared, and this disappearance lasted for seven years. In the past seven years, I have experienced a lot, and if it wasn’t for the huge pressure from your royal father, I would have been in the interest of In the whirlpool, I was ‘married’ again and again, just like a piece of goods! If you don’t show up for a day or if Emperor Rex doesn’t let go, I can only hold on to the title of ‘fiancee’ and become a ‘living widow’ Until the end of my life! Countless rumors, visions, conspiracies… almost defeated me, I’m not reconciled, I’m not willing to accept such a fate!”

Chen Rui listened silently, feeling Lan Bisi’s mood swings, and only after a while asked: “So, you have a plan of your own?”

“Yes, I swear to control my own life! I won’t let others control my own destiny!” Lanbis sneered, “Just when I got back on my feet, re-planned my life, and moved forward step by step according to my own plan. , you suddenly appeared after seven years of disappearance!”

“I understand, my appearance, especially the timing of my appearance, was a mistake,” Chen Rui stood up, walked a few steps, and sighed.

For Lan Bisi, the “Arthur” who appeared now has indeed become a superfluous person.

“I admit, you who reappeared are better than you imagined, a lord with extraordinary means, a master who moved the world, and also a I am very hopeful to be the successor of the next Emperor Long Huang – but this does not mean that I will give up my ambition and pursuit, and will hand over my life as an accessory, vase or even goods to someone other than myself! Absolutely!

Chen Rui looked at Lanbisi’s excited look and nodded: “I understand your purpose today.”

”

Sorry, I’m a little lost.” Lanbisi took a sip of wine, took the opportunity to take a few deep breaths, and her mood recovered. It’s normal, and there is a strange look in his eyes: “You are so calm? The calmness is beyond my expectations. It seems that you have really changed a lot.”

“Time and environment can change many things, so do you,” Chen Rui said indifferently. “I want to ask you formally, you really don’t want to accept this marriage?”

“You should know the answer,” Lanbis raised her brows, looked at Chen Rui for a while, and asked, “Can I put the Is this question a good start to solve the problem?”

“I just want to make your position solemnly clear.”

“I don’t want to!” Lanbisi answered in the affirmative.

This unexpected answer made Chen Rui take a deep breath and nodded slowly. In fact, Lan Bisi didn’t know.

The “fiance” in front of her was the person she wanted to recruit, and she understood her pursuit and persistence better than she imagined.

“So. What do you want me to do?”

Lan Bisi, who had originally believed that the other party would refuse, was startled, and all kinds of rhetoric she prepared were suddenly useless.

Surprised: “You… agreed?”

“Why object?” Chen Rui spread his hands, “Even if I don’t agree, you still have a lot of prepared plans, I don’t believe you will come without any preparation or certainty. Here. The most important thing is that for me, marriage is not just a political bargaining chip, but a real life event, including ’emotion’, ‘responsibility’ and ‘commitment’… This does not include ‘reluctance’ .”

Lanbisi was silent for a moment, and suddenly showed a moving smile: “This kind of words. It’s a bit like the ‘Arthur’ back then. It seems that your two female guardians have the real happiness that many women envy. Maybe Teacher Veronica will also have a good ending?”

“Hope it.” Chen Rui is reluctant to say more on this issue: “There is nothing in the world that comes for nothing, since we have reached a consensus, we can calm down and talk about it. Let

’s talk about the deal, really open and honest.”

Lanbisi nodded: “You, what do you want?”

Chen Rui sat down, didn’t go around in circles, and directly said what he wanted: “Holy Grail.”

Lanbisi was shocked .

, there is a scorching light in the beautiful eyes.

Staring closely at Chen Rui’s eyes, this is actually the condition… “Arthur” came to the Lanyao Empire to “welcome relatives”, and he had another plan at all!

Before coming here, she had always had preconceived notions.

His mind was full of how to convince Arthur to give up this marriage, and he was already prepared to deal with all kinds of difficulties, but now he suddenly found that the other party came here for purposes other than marriage.

The mood suddenly became complicated.

“No wonder that Cardinal Gralin will visit the imperial capital at this time…” Lanbisi suddenly figured out a lot of things and blurted out.

“Are you from the Church of Light?”

Chen Rui praised Lanbisi’s reaction speed, in fact.

Gralin’s visit to the Lanyao Empire was indeed a plan that was negotiated when Raphael came to Jinyao’s territory, and the purpose was to plot the Holy Grail.

Gralin was more accurate in terms of timing, but the unexpected “injury” of “Arthur” in Yaqda City really surprised the cardinal.

“Why do you think I’m a member of the church?”

“I got information that the magic game technology that has swept the world is probably from Dragon Valley. Although I don’t know if this information is accurate, the magic game equipment is manufactured and promoted by Jin Yao’s territory. It is carried out by the church, as we all know, you must have a close interest relationship with the church. And after you disappeared seven years ago, the first time you appeared was accompanied by the Lord Gralin, so I have every reason to guess that you are a member of the church. , even the seven years since you disappeared, it is very likely that it has something to do with the church.”

“A commendable reasoning.” Especially the last sentence made Chen Rui smile mysteriously, “But the focus of our discussion seems to have shifted, or Come back to the Holy Grail.”

“This condition is impossible! Don’t you take it for granted?” Lanbis shook her head resolutely: “The Holy Grail is the highest sacred relic of the empire, and I just hold the title of a princess, and its value is fundamental. It

can’t be compared with the Holy Grail!”

“You are wrong, the Holy Grail is just a dead thing no matter how powerful it is. In my opinion, your value is far more than the Holy Grail.” Chen Rui smiled, “Lan Bi Si Heber, the most outstanding Heber royal family among the younger generation. Several princes of Emperor Covalonte are not good enough, the only one who can barely compete with you is the second prince Victor. You have gathered nearly 30% of the voices of the Congress , The elves have a pretty good impression of you. There are also many strong people in the temple who support you secretly and implicitly. The talent and strength of your personal subordinates alone are no trivial matter. If I insist on marrying you, except for some diehard loyalists, all these powers will be completely out of your grasp. In fact, as far as I know, after the Lanyao Empire announced the marriage, your power has been quite impacted. Now

.”

“It seems that you know a lot about me.” Lan Bisi’s eyes were fleeting, but what “Arthur” just said was not only her strength in the light, especially ” Shueisha”, her secret weapon, was revealed in one sentence.

“It’s just some necessary understanding of my fiancee… Don’t tell me, you don’t know anything about my movements after my return.” Chen Rui’s serious eyes showed no smile, “Your ambition is indeed very ambitious, but it is difficult. It must be beyond imagination. You have been using Emperor Rex’s pressure on the Lanyao Empire to block the coveted gazes around you and pave the way for your own progress step by step. Now my reappearance has really made You are in a dilemma, but this is also a test and an opportunity. I can fully cooperate with your plan, and I can also win the support of the Church of Light for you, and the road ahead will be wider and smoother. As for the Holy Grail… by The Church of Light has come forward, and you only need to play a key role.”

“That’s it?” Lanbis asked with a slight frown when she saw that he had no more words.

“That’s it.”

Lanbisi fell into deep thought, and she said after a while, “I can’t seem to find a reason to refuse this kind of favorable trading conditions. Are you sure you can get me the support of the church?”

“Sure, Gralin. Right at the inn, I can arrange for you to meet and discuss in detail,” Chen Rui replied without hesitation, “Not only that, I know that you have always wanted to win over the Mordeng family. This time in the Mage Tallinn incident, the illegitimate son of Emperor Covalonte, Ed. Accidental death, Lild and the Morden family are in big trouble. It is also a good opportunity for you. In this regard, I can also play some unexpected roles.”

“Your ability… to be precise. , I am amazed by your changes in seven years,” Lanbisi gave him a deep look and smiled suddenly, “Perhaps, it was a mistake for me to give up this marriage?”

“It’s too late to go back on it,” Chen Rui Shrugged: “Are you planning to retain this power?”

“No.” Lanbisi’s eyes showed firmness, “I have come to this point, and I will never look back. I will never look back. I want to control my own destiny instead of being controlled by others. I’m sorry, including you. This is the path I chose by myself, and I will keep going until I completely control myself and the fate of everyone in the empire.”

My life is mine , not up to people; human life is up to me, not up to God.

This is the real Lambis.

From another point of view, she is somewhat similar to Chen Rui, they both want to control their own destiny, but the path they choose is different.

However, when she truly masters the empire, she may find that she has lost the real self she once wanted to master.

When Chen Rui thought of Kathleen and Rex, there was an inexplicable sigh in his heart. No matter what, it was as if she had said it herself, this was the path she chose, and she would keep going.

Chen Rui took a deep breath and raised his glass: “I admire your perseverance and respect your decision, so… I wish you success, Your Highness Lanbis.”

”

Our success, Your Highness Arthur.”

Only the wine glasses came together.
