The Duke (Atole) on the side was actually trying to agree with Alex, because he had almost no say in this matter.

But he didn't show any sense of urgency.

It was as if Haines had never been born with the blond orthodoxy and the golden-eyed star.

While Haines and his companions were explaining to the crowd with their backs to the emperor and his son, Everett secretly glanced at Sheen and Ada standing in the corner.

Sheen thought:

"Did you see the helplessness and sympathy in the Crown Prince's orange eyes?"

The two people in the audience didn't feel embarrassed...

Ada's eyes were full of disdain. She hated the smooth face of her biological father standing on the stage.

The emperor also said some perfunctory words and let the Haines family go:

Because, it seems that there is really no need to argue further.

People left unhappily.

"Cough cough..."

Sheen put his hands in his pockets. He had seen through these Haynes people:

“If you don’t have expectations, there will be no disappointment.”

Although he didn't turn his head to face anyone else, this sentence was addressed to Ada.

Ada shook her head and touched her long white curls.

This is the hair color she inherited from her mother, and this hair color means "angel" in the empire.

Ada closed her golden eyes, lowered her head and sighed:

"Ugh..."

Time waits for no one, and there is no need for them to waste time here.

Sheen and Aida pulled down the cloaks covering their heads and followed the crowd toward the temple entrance.

They were going in the opposite direction from Xilun and Lilibei.

Sheen and Ada cannot see the impostors, and Siren and Lilibe cannot see the real oracles.

As soon as they walked out of the temple, they met Everett's confidant.

"Come on, come on, I'll take you to get your reward," Everett's confidant waved at them.

"Ada must come along. His Majesty has something to say."

"Me?" Ada pointed at herself in disbelief.

Xien appeared calm on the surface, but he was thinking:

"Reward, here I come~"

......

They quickly followed Everett's confidant to the room where the emperor was. It seemed a bit sloppy, but it was something the emperor had considered carefully.

If a grand award ceremony is really prepared for Sheen, Haynes will definitely know that Sheen is still alive.

Then they would threaten Sheen with blood ties in order to share the reward given to Sheen.

The emperor didn't want to force Sheen to make a decision that went against his will.

The reason for performing this drama is to see what kind of relationship Haynes and Sheen have now.

There is no doubt...

"They broke their promise: They didn't leave any room for Sheen."

There's no place for Sheen, let alone Aida's.

"Come here, Sheen..."

When the emperor saw them coming, he smiled at them with half-opened eyes.

He even put his hand on Sheen's head before Sheen had time to bow to the emperor.

This operation confused Everey who was standing nearby.

As the emperor's biological child (approved by Lilith), Everett could neither sit nor stand.

He just thought:

"(Since Sheen risked his life to save me, I'll let him go this time...)"

Aida on the side still bowed: Greetings to the sun of the empire...

"Cough cough..."

The emperor suddenly glared at Everett, who couldn't help but look away.

(Honey embarrassing)

"I told you I would give you a reward."

After the emperor let go of his hand, he stared at Xien and said with a smile,

"Moreover, the reward will be shared by everyone who sees it."

The implication is that Ada can also receive a reward.

"me?"

Ada was completely stunned.

Everett explained to Ada secretly:

"After all, you risked your life to save me when the Saint was blaspheming her duty, so you should have a share of the reward from the royal family."

"and..."

The corners of Everett's mouth rose slightly. "This is what you should have as a true star of the Empire."

It seems that the emperor has privately asked Romos about Ada's identity: he noticed the extraordinaryness revealed in Ada's golden eyes.

“Hey hey hey…”

Before Ada could ask Everett about his identity being leaked, Everett pretended to be unaware and walked away.

(In fact, Everett knew that Aida was a true imperial star before the Emperor did.)

Da da da...

The emperor's men walked up to Ada with a box in both hands.

The emperor smiled and gestured to Ada:

"Open it and take a look."

Ada opened the white jade carved box with a confused look on her face, and inside was a small and cute scroll.

There was a gold tag on the scroll that read "BELMONT".

manor??

Ada's pupils were shocked.

This is a territory very close to the Imperial Church, and the land there is fertile and the assets are abundant.

Logically speaking, this land should be given to the Imperial Saint, also known as "Xingxing".

But now, the land is about to become Ada's.

The official announced in front of everyone:

"Ada Jones made great contributions in the battle to safeguard the royal bloodline and was personally named Viscount Belmont by the royal family."

This means that

Ada no longer needs to obtain noble status through marriage, and can even set up her own home.

Before Ada could react, Sheen started clapping first:

"Congratulations, congratulations~"

"Now that Ada has been awarded the title, we will have greater security in the future!"

DUANG!

A knock to the head by Everett woke Sheen up.

"Ah!" Sheen felt hopeless.

Everett's right hand didn't even have time to move away, waving towards Sheen's head:

"Don't just cheer for others! You should know that the reward you received is much more valuable than the title!"

"I guarantee you'll like it."

After saying this, Everett smiled in an unpredictable way. But outsiders could not guess what Everett had the confidence to say "Sheen will definitely like this reward".

Sheen covered his head with both hands which was hurt by Everett's beating:

"(dizzy) What's my reward..."

The emperor raised his lips and motioned another of his men to come over with the box.

Inside was a check and a charter stating that the owner was a guest of honor in the Royal Family.

The emperor decided to give Sheen enough money to cover his expenses directly (without giving Haynes any chance to share in the profits), and the amount on the check was enough for Sheen to spend his days studying at Pereio College in peace.

The emperor explained the check like this:

"I will give you enough scholarships. This money is enough for you to spend your further studies at Pereo College without worrying about food and clothing. You don't have to lower yourself to ask for money from your family members who look down on you..."

"You are worth more than the sum of their parts."

Sheen agreed with the emperor's approval:

This is the conclusion of what Sheen said before: "Haines is not rare to Sheen, but when Sheen leaves, people everywhere will love him."
