On the way back to the palace, Nicholas was a little quiet. Yanlou carried Su Liao and looked at him worriedly from time to time.

"Your Majesty is angry about Elena?" Yan Lou thought it should be so, after all, he was a subordinate who had been used for many years, but he would be upset if he made trouble for profit.

"It's a bit of a pity," Nichols said, "but it's not a surprise."

Yanlou asked curiously, "Then what is His Majesty thinking?"

Nichols glanced at him and said, "I'm thinking about something more important."

Facing his meaningful eyes, Yan Lou always felt that this matter had a lot to do with him. After the palace handed Su Liao over to Xie, he finally remembered what it was.

The good confession... I almost forgot again!

Nicholas asked: "What are you going to do with Beatrice, just let her go?"

Yan Lou said helplessly: "She already has the shackles on her body, and she has surrendered on her own initiative. I can't kill her again, at least not now."

It's not that he doesn't want to avoid future troubles forever, but that he can't, he doesn't have the qualifications at the moment.Yan Lou has been in office as the store manager for less than half a year, and has not yet developed a high-level dungeon. If this A-level dungeon is destroyed, the losses he will bring will outweigh the benefits.

Just like what Elena wanted to do at the beginning, a store manager who brought losses is not qualified, and the senior management needs to reconsider whether this candidate is suitable.

It is better to deal with Elena sooner rather than later.

Nicholas asked Brian to find Elena in person, but Brian missed Elena's manor.

Brian came back to report to them: "The maid of the manor said that Elena left in a hurry in an hour, and her whereabouts are unknown."

"It seems that I got the news in advance." Nichols closed his eyes, waved his hand and said: "Since she is going to escape, then there is no need to save face for her and issue a wanted warrant for Ginger to lead someone to arrest her."

The name Jingle is not well-known among the major families, but this is the second time Yanlou has heard it.Last time, it was also Nichols who proposed to let Ginger be Yancheng's teacher, and this time he was asked to lead people to arrest Elena.

He quickly recalled Ginger's network in his mind. He was a member of the Berglie family and the cousin of Pan Sen, the lord of Budden City.The people who had conflicts with Elena before were also from the Bergley family, and Dikas, the leader of Budden City, was from the Saida Star Clan, which is the family that Elena clings to. The fourth store manager Cassius and Dika Si is of the same clan.

If His Majesty uses Ginger, does it mean that His Majesty will reuse the Bergley family and suppress the Saida family?

"What are you thinking? So serious." Nicholas said, "If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly."

Yanlou was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Your Majesty plans to appoint Jingle?"

"Yes!" Nichols sighed, "A few years ago, I was training new people to take over Elena's affairs. Elena is no longer suitable for this position, but after all, she has followed me for many years. I originally wanted to Let her retire safely, unfortunately..."

It's a pity that this incident happened, and Elena ran away by herself again. No matter how generous Nichols was, he couldn't let her go.

If Elena is only working hard on the candidate for the store manager, it can barely be regarded as an internal matter of the dark world, and Nicholas can be lenient to her.But if she made a move on the copy, it touched the interests of the escape game, and the execution of Elena would also be handed over to the escape game headquarters for judgment.

"However, Your Majesty used Elena to give common people a chance to be promoted. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to replace her with Ginger?"

Nicholas shook his head and said, "When the technological construction of the previous layout is completed, the dark world will usher in a new look."

This is a good time for change, and he will seek a new balance from it.

Hearing that Yanlou stopped asking, he turned to talk about Jingle, "Since Mr. Jingle needs to take on important responsibilities, we can't bother him with teaching Yancheng."

Nicholas smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just that the reception was a little busy at the beginning. Besides, if you send Yancheng to the palace, some people will teach him, wouldn't Brian be free?"

Brian watering the garden: ?

After pulling a bunch of what was there, Yanlou mustered up the courage to look up at Nicholas, and then immediately retracted his gaze like a punctured balloon.

Why, why is it so difficult?

Nicholas who was looked back and forth by him: ...

He sighed helplessly and said, "How about we eat first?"

Yan Lou glanced at the sky, "Not yet."

Nichols: "...then go out for a walk?"

Yan Lou: "...All right."

The two walked aimlessly in the palace.

The palace is very large, and there is only Nicholas as the master, and there are not many attendants and maids who need it, so everyone's activities are concentrated in the front part.

As they walked, they came to a somewhat deserted back garden with deep grass and trees. If there were no courtyard walls and roof tiles, it would probably be no different from a small forest.

"What is this place?" Yan Lou looked at the small courtyard in front of him curiously. Although the shape was the same as the front, the buildings at the back of the palace were vacant, and there was not even a plaque. It looked barren and desolate.

Nicklus glanced twice, then shook his head, "I don't know either."

The two found a path paved with stone slabs and walked in, explaining to Nicholas as they walked: "The palace has been built for nearly a thousand years, and it was built by major families at first. I didn't want to make it so big, but They think that the royal palace represents my identity and cannot lose my prestige, so it has become like this."

"On weekdays, I am active in the front, and few people come in the back, and I don't know what has become of this place." Nicholas looked at the weeds under the corridor, "Brian should be cleaned up every year, otherwise It can’t stay the way it is now.”

Looking at the small courtyard with luxuriant vegetation, Yan Lou said with a smile: "The scenery grown naturally is no worse than the one carefully managed."

Most of the stone materials used to build the palace are carefully selected boulders, which are strong and tough and can withstand erosion, so the palace behind has been abandoned for so many years, but it is only a little desolate, with no cracks or damage.

The courtyard was empty, with only simple tables, chairs and cabinets, but a vine in the hall came in from the window, climbed over the roof and stretched to other rooms. The hanging branches and bunches of fruits brought a wild charm to the place.

"It's pretty." Yan Lou smiled and picked off a bunch of tender green fruits, "Is this edible?"

Nicholas hesitantly picked one up and put it in his mouth, then frowned fiercely, "It's so sour, don't eat it."

Yanlou didn't listen to him, and tasted one anyway, and then wrinkled his face from the sourness, "Hiss, it's really sour!"

Nicholas looked at him amusedly, "I told you not to eat it."

Yan Lou shrugged, and threw away the fruit in his hand, "It's going to be sour together."

Then he pulled Nichols and continued to walk into the house, looking around non-stop.

From his expression, Nichols guessed that he was hunting for treasure, just like buying a bunch of strange fruits and tasting them one by one, Yanlou will show a childlike side at certain times.

Yan Lou who was walking in front suddenly turned around, waved to him gently, and reminded him to keep his voice down with gestures.

Nicholas stepped forward curiously, and saw Yan Lou raised his hand and pointed to the window, and said happily in a low voice, "Look at that, I saw it once before, when I first came to the palace."

On the window facing the sun lies a warm yellow mass, round and fluffy, with a small bright orange beak and a slender tail coiled around the edge of the body can be vaguely seen.

Not to mention how cute this look is, most people can't resist this kind of cute attack, and Yanlou is no exception.

Nichols said in a low voice, "This is the chick of the golden bird. It is said that seeing the golden bird represents good luck. They are unique creatures in the dark world, and their number is very small. I didn't expect there to be a nest in the palace."

"The chicks of the golden bird are very cute, and the adult feathers are bright and colorful, and they have a fierce temperament." Nicholas pulled him out of the room, "I guess they made a nest in the palace, otherwise the chicks would not dare to mess around." Run. Because the feathers of Jinhong birds are too eye-catching at night, they mostly go out during the day and return to their nests at night to rest. We will come and have a look later at night."

Yanlou nodded happily.

With the discovery of Jin Hongniao, the treasure hunt of the two can be regarded as a success.

When it was getting dark, Yan Lou and Nichols went back to eat. Originally, he planned to walk back slowly, but Nichols dragged him to the restaurant in an instant.

The chef prepared a sumptuous meal for him as usual, which made meals a regular and important item for Yan Lou every time he came to the palace.

But this time Yanlou ate a little absent-mindedly.

He promised to confess his love, how can he not count his words, so he must speak out today.

Yan Lou repeatedly encouraged himself countless times, and finally after putting down the knife and fork, he stood up and said to Nichols sullenly: "Your Majesty, I, I have something to tell you."

Nicholas also sat up straight, and said expectantly, "Say it."

Yanlou took a few deep breaths, raised his head to meet Nicholas' gaze, then lowered his head with fever on his face, repeated several times and then gritted his teeth: "I want to say..."

Yanlou never knew how heavy the words were, they were so heavy that they fell on the tip of his tongue, making him almost speechless.

Maybe it's not the words that matter, but the love itself.

Both he and Nichols took this love very seriously, and when they said it out, it would never change for a lifetime, and how long was their lifetime?Can grow to perish with this world.

In the illusion created by Beatrice, it was not the shattering of the illusion that freed him from the pain and hesitation, but the Nicholas who embraced him.

Yan Lou thought, he has made up his mind, so he should say it out loud, this person will not change.

He raised his head to meet Nicholas' gentle and encouraging gaze, and finally said firmly, "Your Majesty, I want to tell you that I like..."

The last word "you" was lost in Brian's voice hurriedly entering the door, "Your Majesty, Elena caught..."

"Get out!" Nicholas ruthlessly pulled him away, and then looked at Yanlou expectantly: "You continue."

Yan Lou: "..."

No, he couldn't say it.

Yan Lou said "I..." for a long time, but I still didn't come up with a reason.

Under the expectant eyes of Nicholas, Yan Lou glanced at the food on the table that had not been removed, gave up struggling with a slumped face, and chose the dog leash: "I...I want to meet the chef of the palace."

Nichols: "..." No, I retract what I just said, I have heard it, and I cannot go back on my word!

The two looked at each other silently for a while, Yanlou wiped his face feebly and said, "Your Majesty, can we change for another day?"

Nichols: "...OK."

After sending away Yan Lou, who had nothing to love, Brian, who was shot flying, popped up from the corner and asked, "Your Majesty, can I come and report?"

Nicholas glanced at him and waved.

Brian stopped at a place where Nicholas couldn't beat him, and said, "Eileen has been arrested, what is His Majesty going to do with her?"

Nichols said blankly: "Send it to the escape game headquarters and let them decide."

"Okay." Brian took the order and prepared to evacuate quickly.

Before he finished, he heard Nicholas say coldly: "Your salary for this year is gone."

Brian: "..." Forget it, he didn't ask why, anyway, there wasn't much left.

But then Nicklus added: "Fire the palace cook."

Brian turned around to confirm: "Fired?"

Nicklus was silent for half a second, then waved his hand helplessly, "One month's salary will be deducted."

"Okay!" Brian happily took the order and left.

Although his salary has been deducted, the chef has also been deducted, and the balance is instant!
