before he was crowned king

"No no, there must be something wrong with this." Mars looked up at the familiar face and tried to sort out his thoughts, "First, it is absolutely impossible for you to appear in my bedroom at this time. This is obviously a weird Dreamland, in this dreamland, you wear an old-fashioned long dress, you have long blonde hair, um... and you have a pair of breasts that only a woman can have."

As Mars said this, his eyes slowly moved down, and then he saw with his own eyes a bony hand reaching into the neckline of the long skirt and taking out two bulging balls of fabric.

Flat chest, protruding Adam's apple, neat short hair... The woman he kissed was actually Sean, and she was indeed an acquaintance with him day and night. No wonder when he hugged her just now, he was still thinking about how hard this woman's arms were. , The width of the shoulders almost caught up with him.

"Damn it." The moment Mars accepted the fact, Mars' twenty-odd years of aristocratic cultivation was almost destroyed.

"I think you need to calm down for a while." Sean let go of the man's wrist and walked towards the silver dining car that came in with him.

"Indeed, you know, although I only drank a whole bottle of wine." Mars slumped on the sofa, pushing back the silver hair on his forehead, with a hoarse voice, "But at that time, the only thing in my mind was alcohol , everything else is a mess.”

"I know very well, because you definitely didn't just drink one bottle." Sean glanced at the overturned wine bottles on the ground, and handed the brewed honey water to Mars.

"Thank you." Mars took a sip of the sweet water in the porcelain cup. To be honest, until now he didn't dare to look directly at Sean's appearance. It seemed that all the stupid things he did just now would be poured out of his mind. put.

"How did you get into the palace?" Mars rubbed his sore temple, trying to ignore everything before, "And why did you dress up as a woman?"

"I asked Her Royal Highness Princess Ornis to pretend to be her maid and sneaked into the palace." Sean briefly stated the process.

"Are you crazy? How could you do this?" Although he vaguely guessed that this method was used, Mars was still angry after hearing it with his own ears. He stood up from the sofa and looked at the pair of eyes without emotion,

"If you are discovered, who do you count on to protect you in the face of such a crime?"

"I will not implicate Princess Ornis, I will bear the crime alone." Sean said calmly, he had already assessed the risk of this operation.

The worst outcome is the death penalty, which is nothing to him.Since forming a contract with Herrell, he has already experienced several deaths.

"You really shouldn't involve Ornis in this." Mars was frustrated, and he turned his back, "But you know that's not what I said."

"Your Highness, there is no true infallibility in the world, and everything is risky." Sean guided step by step, "If you want to get the crown of rights, you have to go through a long journey. During this period, you will encounter falling stones and traps. , or beasts, you may not know when they appear, or where they lie in ambush, but you don't have to stop there. Because eliminating these hidden dangers is what those of us who are loyal should do. promise, you won't forget it."

"Of course I haven't forgotten, everything in the past is vivid in my mind." Mars closed his eyes.

"That's enough."

"But I gave up." Mars turned his head and looked at Sean numbly like a mindless puppet. "My expectations were wrong from the beginning. I was trying to fight for something that didn't belong to me. Maybe I should have Change your goal, instead of making you rush for my ridiculous ambitions, and even pay the price of your life. Sean, it’s not worth it, I have now got a very definite answer, in the palace of San Via, the future crowning I will not be the king."

Melting ice water fell down Mars's hair, Sean stared into his eyes, as if trying to see through the man's deepest heart.

"Are you trying to tell me that my choice is wrong?" Sean approached Mars step by step.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I'm sorry, Sean." The corners of Mars's mouth curled into a line, "Perhaps, I shouldn't have forced you to follow me then."

"Even if I promise to help you remove all the obstacles ahead, will you still stick to your current thinking?" When he was one body away from Mars, Sean stopped and stood still, staring into the other's eyes.

"Obstacle? What is an obstacle?" Mars took the lead to withdraw his gaze, his hands were slowly clenched, and the joints made a slight crisp sound, "The obstacle is that I am not her first child, and she is not denying me She didn't leave me a chance at all." Mars smiled wryly, "In the end, she is the real ruler of Saint Via, and maybe she has some considerations that I can't think of. I am her Son, as long as I obey her, there is nothing to be persistent about, she asked me to assist Fern, so I will do just that."

"If His Royal Highness Fern is a qualified successor, then the tragic incident in Nexco Village will not happen. Do you want to watch the Holy Via Empire handed over to such a cruel and greedy person?" Sean He didn't let go of any emotion in Mars' eyes.

"Fern is not actually a tyrant, he just looks down on lowly citizens who are sub-orcs. Whether it is the royal family or the nobles, there are many extremes like him." Mars walked away from Sean , sat back on the sofa, "He's not hopeless, just mediocre, stupid, and without his own opinion...

"Let the empire accept a mediocre, stupid, and opinionless His Majesty the King?"

"Yes, yes, that's the truth." Mars picked up the wine glass again, his throat rolled, and he drank the cherry-colored wine in one gulp.

"Are you saying that to make me give up on you?" Sean asked in a low voice.

With a loud "bang", Mars flashed fiercely in his hand, and the goblet was blasted by the electric current into powdery white glass shards, splashing like crystal quicksand on the dark carpet.

"Then what do you want me to do? What can I do? I can't betray my mother, and I can't change this damn birth order." Mars's suppressed emotions burst out during this time, "Mother knows everything, she I knew what Fern did, but what was the result? Mother only punished his attendants, Earl Shelter had no news, and I was imprisoned myself, unable to attend the next state meeting, and Fern did not punish him at all. No! Is this fair? In the eyes of my mother, it is very obvious who is more important, between me and Fern, I am the one who was abandoned."

Mars closed his eyes slightly, his chest heaved up and down, and he finally spoke out what was buried deep in his heart.He hated himself who was hysterical now, unable to vent his emotions, like a goshawk with its wings cut off, flopping aimlessly in the jungle, and even lost the only remaining noble face.

Someone grabbed his right hand, and Mars stood there in a daze, watching the man carefully dispose of the glass residue left in his palm with a clean handkerchief.

"I won't give up on you." Sean looked serious, and there was no wavering in his voice, "I hope that what you do is also what you can do."

"what……"

"I hope you believe me. Except for time, no one can give the final result." Sean raised his hand and stroked Mars's silver-white hair.It was an overstep, but Sean knew Mars wouldn't punish him.

This may be the only chance in his life to take the initiative to offend the other party, because this moment is extremely special.

His disheartened prince needs such comfort, or recognition.

"Is it enough to just believe in you?" Mars hesitated, wondering if he could regain his strength.His voice was very soft, like a raving.

"Don't just believe in me, I implore you to believe in yourself." Sean's voice was low, as if he was telling an ancient story, "A long time ago, an eagle was always an eagle, and the sky was its eternal kingdom, and no one could take it away Walk."

In the early morning, when the first ray of dawn illuminated the vast land, an inconspicuous purchase carriage drove out of the sacred and majestic Sanvia Palace through the side door, and stopped briefly in front of the Imperial Academy of Magic.

It was very early now, and the students living in the college were still sleeping soundly, and Sean didn't meet anyone along the way.

He returned to the dormitory of the Rose Pavilion and took off the women's wig borrowed from Joan.

"Actually, your outfit is not bad, except that the skirt is a little tighter, and your face looks like a sexy stunner." Someone clapped their hands in admiration.

Sean took off his water-stained long skirt, and he glanced at the mirror beside him.The blond man in a linen shirt was whistling and leaning against the window sill, looking like a dissolute old aristocrat who molested a lady at a ball, his rose-colored eyes gleefully looked up and down at him.

"Thank you." Sean's voice could not hear any emotion, "After all, it is a face made according to your preferences."

"You're welcome, of course my aesthetics are impeccable." Heller waved his hand and said, "If I had known you were so suitable, I should have given you a graceful and soft female body. Then you should take the initiative last night , we will be promoted to Royals this morning."

"Last night was just an accident." Sean changed back his clothes and rolled up the cuffs of his shirt. "His Royal Highness Mars clearly mistook me for a woman."

"That's not necessarily the case, that's not what he said in his eyes." Herrera's eyes moved slightly, "I can be sure that he has feelings for you."

"Really?" Sean raised his eyebrows slightly, "Should I feel honored?"

"That's not it." Herrell said deliberately, "If you let him do whatever he wants, you should be lying on his bed with your whole body limp now."

"That's not necessarily the case. Judging from the kissing skills he showed yesterday, he doesn't seem to have much experience at all." Sean analyzed realistically, "I don't think I will be the one being dominated."

"Don't you think you have rich experience?" Herrera's face was full of disbelief, "You can't lie to me, I know your details."

"Some people don't need to accumulate experience, but they can do one thing well. People call these people extraordinary talents." Sean stared at those rose-colored eyes, "Do you want to try?"

"Try, try what?" Herrell was shocked, such presumptuous words made him think he was hallucinating.

"It's nothing, it's just a joke, just like what you said to me just now." Sean pushed the door open, and slightly curled the corner of his mouth at someone who hadn't calmed down, "I have something to go out tonight See."

The door slammed shut, and when the lock fell, Helaier's perfect face was blemished due to anger, and he realized that he was being played by that arrogant human being.

Sean left the Rose Pavilion. He walked to the Pavilion of the Falcon Club and saw Lambert standing by the carriage waiting for the first time.

They agreed to meet at this time.

"Have you really seen His Royal Highness Mars?" Lambert immediately asked the question as soon as he got into the car.

"Yes, Your Highness is fine." Shine said, "His Majesty only punished him with a small punishment. I didn't get to see Earl Shelter, but I think at least my life is safe."

Lambert breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, this incident dealt a great blow to His Highness, and he lost his will to fight for the throne." Sean said calmly.

"There's nothing you can do about it. Her Majesty's attitude is too decisive." Lambert frowned slightly, "She directly vetoed everything Her Highness has paid for these years."

"So we need to restore His Highness's confidence. This is very important." Sean said softly, "If His Highness really gives up, then no one will be able to help him."

"But how? Her Majesty doesn't even want Her Majesty to attend this state meeting." Lambert also knew the seriousness of the matter, but the current situation made him completely helpless. "Is there any way for you to change the Queen's decision?"

"Do you know why the Queen punished His Highness?" Sean looked at Lambert who was sitting opposite.

"I know, because of my father." Lambert thought Sean blamed himself again, and his face darkened. "You don't need to remind me. When this matter is over, I will explain to His Highness on my father's behalf."

Sean shook his head: "Earl Shelter is just the diabolism of this incident. What Her Majesty the Queen is really angry about is Her Majesty Mars' actions against Her Majesty Fern. She believes that His Majesty attacked her brother for the right of inheritance."

Lambert was stunned: "Her Majesty the Queen doesn't want to see internal struggles in the royal family?"

"Ah, probably because of mother's nature, I hope that my children will always be a harmonious and friendly family." Sean didn't mean to criticize the starting point of Queen Karina's decision-making, he just felt that Queen Karina's judgment was influenced by motherhood up.

After all, mothers in this world tend to forget that their children will grow up.

Lambert's eyes darkened: "But even if we know the reason, what can we do?"

"The quarrel between brothers is just a misunderstanding, and it will be fine if they reconcile."

"You mean to ask His Highness Fern to go down and plead with Her Majesty the Queen to release His Highness Mars?" Lambert said with disapproval on his face, "It is absolutely impossible for Her Highness Fern to agree."

"The person who intercedes doesn't have to be His Royal Highness Fern." Sheen said, "As long as this person can represent his position."

The carriage stopped slowly in front of a gray-blue building, and their destination had already arrived.

"Sorry, I have nothing to entertain you. Many servants at home have been dismissed by me. This is the first time I make tea, and I will simply boil the tea with hot water." The girl held two porcelain cups In front of Sean and Lambert, "If you don't like it, I don't mind if you put down your glass and get out of here. In fact, if you do, I would appreciate you, I think you should be able to see I have no interest in receiving distinguished guests."

"Thank you very much, Miss Selina. But we may have to disturb you for a while." Sean gently picked up the porcelain cup, as if he didn't hear the expulsion in Selina's tone.

This is the Viscount Carle's mansion, a low-key but tasteful reception hall, next to a violet garden, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Sean and Lambert sat on the edge of the tea table, and Miss Serena sat opposite them, some distance away from the table.Her eyes were red and swollen, her eyebrows were tangled like two strands of wool, her long, unkempt hair was disheveled, and she was so gloomy that she seemed to be completely different from the weird girl in a rhinestone dress that Sean had seen before. different people.

"As you can see, I'm in a bad mood right now." Serena leaned back on the chair, her demeanor lacked the demeanor of a noble lady, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"The Viscount Carley doesn't look at home," said Lambert.

"He was taken away by the guards of the palace. Don't say you don't know. The news has spread all over the city." Serena said directly, "Everyone said that he was investigated and interrogated. If he is guilty, he will not come out again. gone."

"Sorry." Seeing the girl's haggard and helpless appearance, Lambert didn't know what to say, and looked at Sean beside him.

"I have certain news." Sean chose to tell the truth, "Viscount Carle was imprisoned in a dungeon, and if nothing happens, he will die inside."

"What did you say?" Serena's face was pale, her voice trembling, "Dungeon? Why? Why was my brother put in the dungeon?"

"Miss Serena, you should also know that your brother is very close to His Royal Highness Fern, and for some reason, he can be regarded as a scapegoat for His Royal Highness Fern." Sean simplified a lot of the process, of course, in order to mobilize the girl's emotions , He also revised some facts. For example, the Viscount Carle was not wronged. It was more accurate to say that he was a "discarded chess piece" than a "scapegoat".

"Why, how did this happen?" Serena stood up staggeringly, she seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head to leave here.

"It's useless for you to go to His Royal Highness Fern. He will be very sad about your brother and even give you some compensation, but he won't provide you with any effective help." As if guessing the girl's thoughts, Sean stood Get up and say.

"Then who should I ask for help? I can't watch my brother die like this." Serena turned around, her eyes were bloodshot, she looked at Sean, her tone was full of pleading, "I Who should I seek asylum, and who is it..."

"Serina, that's why we came to you." Sean raised his hand, "Please sit down first."

Serena wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, and sat back in her seat with all her strength.

"In fact, we encountered the same predicament as you, because His Royal Highness Mars was also imprisoned in the palace, so I think it is necessary for us to help each other." Sean made some additions to the whole story.

"So, the culprit who caused my brother to enter the dungeon was actually His Royal Highness Mars." Serena's face was a little cold.

"I can swear that this is definitely not His Royal Highness Mars' original intention. His original intention is just to hope that his brother can stop his mistakes immediately." Sean said lightly.

"You are His Royal Highness Mars' lover, I have seen this with my own eyes." Serena said to herself, not noticing Lambert's cracked expression, "It's not surprising that you speak for him, but I also Not stupid, my brother obviously became a victim in the power struggle between the two Highnesses. Why should I go to the Queen to speak for my brother's enemies?"

"First of all, Viscount Carle is not an enemy of His Royal Highness Mars. Although it is a bit offensive, the Viscount is indeed not qualified." Sean's voice paused, and then said, "Secondly, you are the fiancee of His Royal Highness Mars , is the younger sister of Viscount Carle, and it will be more credible for you to say this; finally, if you help His Royal Highness Mars, in exchange, His Highness Mars will return this favor to your brother."

"You mean, if I ask Her Majesty the Queen to intercede, Her Majesty Mars will save my brother." Serena clenched her hands tightly, her expression very shaken, "I may not be able to convince Her Majesty, even if I succeed Now, how do I know if you lied to me, this is not the decision of His Majesty Mars himself, is it?"

Lambert turned his head to look at Sean, Serena's words reminded him that their plan had not been explained to His Royal Highness Mars.

"Just do what I say. As for His Royal Highness Mars, I will take charge." Sean crossed his fingertips and stared into the girl's eyes, "Miss Serena, please believe me, this is Your only chance to save Viscount Carle's life, you have no other choice."

There was a dead silence in the hall, and the time passed by every minute.Lambert sat there, and to be honest, he didn't know if Miss Serena would agree.The conditions offered by Sean are indeed attractive, but there is no proof, it can be said that they are completely empty promises, and he himself is not sure whether His Royal Highness Mars will agree to this condition.

Finally, Miss Serena looked away and closed her eyes slightly: "I promise you."

Lambert stood up and bowed slightly: "Miss Serena, you won't regret making this decision."

"Thank you for your trust." Sean also stood up.

"I trust your guarantee because His Majesty Mars once used magic on me to protect you. I believe in the pure affection between you. By the way, I have to take a bath, change clothes, dress up, and prepare to enter the palace now. There are a lot of things to sit on, so I won’t see you off.” Serena waved her hand, turned around and stopped looking at the two men behind her, and walked up the stairs.
