The imperial capital is a beautiful city. The broad Yin Wuzhen River flows quietly from the gate of the imperial palace, across the entire imperial capital.

Yes, it was an overly quiet river, staggering like an old man in twilight; unknown trees were planted on both sides, with fresh dewdrops hanging from pale pink gorgeous petals, crumbling in the morning wind; The dark green water plants are swaggering; among the floating algae, there are layers of pale golden ripples. The quiet lake surface is like an uneven mirror, distorting the beautiful imperial capital and reflecting the most broken reality.

Different from the streets paved with bluestone slabs in small towns, the streets of the imperial capital are wide and grand, and they are still somewhat desolate and silent in the quiet morning.

Laners walked quietly on the street, occasionally a few scattered carriages passed by him, kicking up a foot of dust.Most of the time, it is empty and quiet, and he can even hear the "da da" sound of his boots buckling on the ground.

In fact, he didn't know where he was going.He is no stranger to the imperial capital, he was born and raised in the imperial capital, and survived in the cracks with an embarrassing and humble identity.Knowing that on a cold winter night, he was chosen as a sacrifice and brought to Linyuan.

Passing through the gorgeous streets is the slums of the imperial capital. In comparison, Laners is more familiar with this place than the beautiful coat of the imperial capital.

He saw two ragged children fighting for a piece of bread. Destiny is such an elusive thing.Laners thought that if he hadn't been chosen tragically, he might have lived such a life without food for the rest of his life.

Lance didn't want to be nosy, just as he walked past the two children as if he didn't see them, he heard a familiar voice.

"Is that you, child?"

Laners turned around and looked at the man bathed in the morning sun, wearing a black robe that clergymen were accustomed to wearing, and the cross on his chest shone with a cold metallic luster.His long silver hair was plated with a sacred light gold by the sun, dancing lightly in the morning breeze, easily bewitching people's hearts.

"Although it doesn't make sense to ask such a question." Lans said suspiciously, "but are you really a priest?" Lans found sadly that he seemed to be living more and more recently, always showing his face from time to time. Confused expression, never before.But he was really confused, because Mei always did some...unreasonable actions.Did he read it right, Mei turned a blind eye to those two children like him?Oh my God, is this really the work of a kind and benevolent priest?

"You asked this question last time. In fact, I am indeed a clergyman." Mei didn't seem to like this place very much, she pulled Lance away while answering.

"You..." Lans paused for a moment, thinking about how to speak, "Are you looking down on these lowly people like those nobles?" Lans suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart, he thought Mei was different, So special, but the other party... seems to despise them, the lower class of society, just like everyone else.

"No." Mei seemed to know what Lans was thinking, and smiled and stroked the other's hair, "My child, I don't look down on them, I just don't want to disrupt the unspoken rules of this society. You know, I'm just a priest, not god."

"What unspoken rules, above power?" Lance didn't understand. He was very smart, but he didn't like to think too deeply about problems.

"Okay, let's end this topic here. What are you doing in the imperial capital?" Mei never seems to talk too much on a topic. Laners feels that he is like a butterfly cocoon, always using some irrelevant The most beautiful truth is wrapped in it, which makes people invisible and intangible, like the light smoke of nothingness, and the faint singing voice.

"Spring banquet, I wanted to tell you last time. Brother Luo Yi asked me to accompany him to this spring banquet." After thinking about it, Laners added, "I didn't want to come."

"Maybe you're right, but it doesn't make much difference." Mei replied indifferently, not saying that he didn't care, but even if he didn't intervene, things would develop in the direction he hoped.Looking at the lovely Lans next to him, Mei probably understood what Luo Yi Kewei meant, but he didn't intend to stop him.

In Lance's mind, banquet=nobility=politics=boring.He hadn't learned any aristocratic etiquette, and he didn't want to cause trouble for the etiquette, so he just stayed quietly.

"You, yes, it's you. Which noble's pet is it? Why are you rude when you see this prince?"

It has to be said that distraction is a very bad habit. When Lans came back to his senses, things were already like this. He didn't even know what he had done to offend others.But the man who claimed to be a prince yelled for him to apologize without aristocratic demeanor, and attracted a large group of people watching the show, which made Laners very uncomfortable, as if he had become a monkey in a circus.

Generally speaking, Laners is not an impulsive person, but it is undeniable that he does not care much about the consequences.

"I do not know you."

Laners was telling the truth, he didn't know any of these people.Sounds like a prince, but so what?He is eager to give birth, but it does not mean that he will choose to live in a servile and flattering way.

"I don't know you? It's okay, come to the palace for a few days, and I will naturally let you get to know each other from head to toe, inside and out, well, what do you think of the little beauty?" People also started booing.

Laners stood there quietly, he saw Louie Covey not far away, the man who insisted on asking him to come to the so-called spring banquet, and now, he was happily having a drink with a stranger Talking to the woman, she didn't seem to notice the situation here.

Lance suddenly felt very irritable, he had never felt this way before, as if every ruthless and bloodthirsty factor in his body had awakened at the same time, this was a strange and pleasant throbbing, he vaguely knew , only blood can extinguish this manic throbbing, just like the desire for poppies, knowing that the next step is the abyss, but still obsessed with it.

Lance lowered his head, and he saw the small knife on the edge of the plate, which was used for cutting cakes or peeling fruit at banquets.As if bewitched by some inexplicable thing, he involuntarily picked up the knife. The blade was glowing with cold metallic luster, reflecting rainbow-like colors in the colorful lights of the banquet.

"Bold! You... what are you going to do?"

"Quick... put the knife... put the knife down!"

"Come on, he is going to assassinate this hall, hurry up and arrest him!"

……

What are those people talking about?Lance didn't seem to hear anything, didn't understand anything, and didn't care about anything.He just stroked the blade lightly, but it was as affectionate and gentle as touching a lover.At that moment, he was like a god descending from the earth, with indelible tenderness in his eyes; and like being possessed by a devil, with a cruel and cold smile on his lips.He was full of tenderness and a smile like this, watching the blade sink into the man's body bit by bit, splashing beautiful bright red blood beads, like manjusawa blooming in hell.

"Run away!" Amidst the sound of panting and panic, Luo Yi pulled the young man who was still confused and left the hall quickly.
