Throne Steps

The next day, rumors of "black swans making trouble at Saenz's private residence" were rampant.

Because the topic of "virginity checks" is somewhat discreditable, the rumors in the market do not include this part.It only said that the girls were invited to Saenz's mansion, but the black swan suddenly appeared, not only preventing the girls from seeing Saenz, but also insulting them.

It has to be said that without the parts that these noble ladies are unwilling to mention, the strength of this story is much weaker.

"Also, what do you mean by 'black swans making trouble at the mansion'..." Li Chen folded the paper that collected the rumors into an airplane, heaved a sigh of relief, and sent it to the front, "It's obvious that their voices are louder, think about it , more than a dozen women chattering at the same time..."

The paper airplane almost poked someone, but the other party turned his head and avoided it: "You made such a big commotion, aren't you afraid that that person will kill you?"

"Don't worry, Fudexi, that one is as aggrieved as I am." Li Chen crossed his legs on the table and poked his index finger upwards, "The sky is changing, but you and I can't see it."

Fudexi thought about the meaning of this sentence: "You mean...he is in power?"

Li Chen smiled: "When the ceremony is held, won't you know?"

Fudexi frowned, he couldn't figure out whether what Li Chen said was "Even if it is turbulent, the power of Saenz can make the ceremony go on smoothly", or simply "there will be a big show in the ceremony".

"you……"

dong dong!

The female officer knocked on the door and came in, bowed to Li Chen and said, "My lord, His Royal Highness Laelier is here to visit and wants to hang out with you."

"Oh...she's here." Li Chen smiled meaningfully, "He's really a guy who doesn't worry about big things when he sees the excitement."

Fu Dexi frowned and said, "Why did she ask you out at this time, doesn't she know what happened?"

"I guess I found it now on purpose because I knew about it." Li Chen put down his feet and stood up, "Let's go and meet our pearl."

Fordhi narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

"You can see it with your own eyes, don't you know?" Li Chen smiled at him, "She is not the same as before...you will be very 'surprised'."

The day after Li Chen forced the girls who visited Saenz to retreat, other members of Black Swan entered Saenz's mansion.

Black Swan originally had a station not far from here. After the news of Li Chen was cut off, Fu Dexi even brought people here in person.It took three days to vote for the post, and finally when Li Chen made a big news, the members of Black Swan were interviewed by the protagonist of the rumors and the person in charge of their own family.

There were two people entering the door - the double black half-elf Fudsi, and the female warrior Yulia.

Saenz still left early and returned late, but according to his instructions, Fudexi and Yulia entered the mansion without much effort.Among them, Fudexi was directly taken to the depths of the inner house, Li Chen's residence, while Yulia was drinking tea and waiting leisurely in the hall.

When Lichen and Fudexi came out because of Lalier's call, Yulia had already stood up, and the only person sitting in the hall was the pure white pearl—Lailier.

Lairier is an absolute blonde beauty. Her previous image in the capital of the temple was nothing more than a long white dress and a gentle smile, but this time it was a little different.She was wearing not so much a long skirt as a slit gown, revealing metal boots and trousers.The belt of the robe is not purely decorative, but two waist armors are connected by braided ropes.No matter how beautiful the bowknot made from the braided rope is, or how complicated the pattern on the waist armor is, it cannot hide the hard texture of the waist armor itself.

The shawl was made of soft fabric, but it was fastened together with the same braided rope as the waist armor, which inexplicably showed a sense of chic.

Not to mention Mingzhu actually tied up her blonde hair.

Li Chen laughed when he saw her like this, walked over and said, "You're like this, I almost can't tell which one is my female mercenary."

Yulia, who was ridiculed together, stood at the other end with a blank expression.

"It's easier to dress like this. After all, I'm here to ask you out for a stroll." Lailier stretched out his finger, and swiped in Li Chen's direction, "Why don't you wear a uniform?"

Li Chen said helplessly, "I don't only have that suit."

"I heard that you have a set of black stripes on a white background, let's wear it out to see?" Lailier pointed to Fudexi and Yulia again, "And you, you, have changed, let's go out together .”

What she was talking about was not the new uniform that Saenz had given to Li Chen recently, but the one that Black Swan had been equipped with since the completion of the Ainuma Temple.Because of the lack of wear, the speed of updating the style of the uniform is relatively slow, and it has only been changed three times over the years.

However, Laier made this request at such a cusp, obviously with other intentions.Li Chen had no choice but to follow the order with two black swans.

Fudexi and Lichen were switched together, and this half-elf finally became a little aware of the faint turmoil in the capital of the temple.

"Did she do it on purpose?" Fudexi buckled up his belt, showing his slender figure under the effect of the uniform. "She is clearly provoking the head of the house to show that she wants to stand with her younger brother."

Li Chen helped him pull out a few strands of black hair stuffed into his collar: "Is it a surprise? When she appeared in Tie Qiangwei, you should have expected this day."

Fu Dexi narrowed his eyes: "I think there are private goods added here. Is she taking revenge? After all, the Patriarch of Pure White didn't let her take revenge on her real enemy, so she had to hide the truth .”

"Why not?"

Li Chen tugged on his gloves, and said with a smile: "If there is revenge, revenge, if there is wrong, sometimes things are as simple as that, isn't it?"

The capital of the temple, the residence of the main family in pure white.

A guard belonging to Saenz quickly approached Saenz's guard captain, and whispered a few words in his own captain's ear.After listening to the captain of the Guards, he looked at him suspiciously, and after getting his nod in response, the captain approached Saenz.

"Your Highness." He leaned close to Saenz and whispered a few words in Saenz's ear, and Saenz suddenly burst out laughing happily.

The head of the family, Vagcheno, knew that his son was acting like this on purpose, and said, "Why, you can still laugh when you hear the rumors about you in the market?"

"I don't care if the rumors make me laugh." Saenz waved his captain back, "However, there is an anecdote that is happening now, which I find really interesting."

"Really?" Vagcheno squinted his eyes, "Why don't you tell me and listen."

Saenz didn't keep it secret, and smiled directly: "It's nothing, it's just that Lairier went to my mansion, and then... the black swan went shopping with her."

Vagcheno's eyes sharpened.

Neither Lairier nor Black Swan's outfits are the most classic in the past, but it can't stand that Black Swan is at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion, as well as Lairier's standard blond hair and white clothes.

What's more, some believers began to gather near Saenz's private house recently, and everyone watched them come out hand in hand!

On the busy street, a little girl about four or five years old ran out of the crowd, ran straight to Lailier, and presented her with a bouquet of small white flowers that were not expensive but full of vitality.

"Your Highness, I wish you well!"

Lailier squatted down to pick up the flowers, and touched her head: "Thank you, and I wish you well."

Her smile is warm and friendly, and its soothing effect is first-rate, and it may even give people the illusion that she is glowing.Her maidservant also came forward and cast a little light magic on the little girl.

This is the standard procedure for the pure white color to face the masses, and it is also very consistent with the image of the pure white color in people's minds.Although Lairier couldn't perform the light magic himself, what did that matter? People even felt a little distressed when they thought of the suffering of this Highness.

The image of Laier is also more compassionate.

After the little girl returned to her mother, Lailier smiled and nodded at the agitated mother, and walked away.

It wasn't until their backs disappeared that the crowd became noisy again.

"Sure enough! I said that it must be His Royal Highness Laelier!" Someone sighed, "She still looks so beautiful, but first she is stronger and more compassionate!"

"It's the first time I've seen a pure white person at such a close distance!" The person next to him echoed, "She seems to be glowing!"

Another chimed in: "Did you notice those three people next to her? They were dressed in weird clothes, I've never seen them before!"

"That's right! I'm thinking about this too!" His companion said, "They don't look like His Highness's bodyguards, but rather friends! Which nobleman is that?"

As soon as these words came out, many people also became suspicious.

A peddler standing next to him suddenly said, "Hey, you don't even know those three, are you blind?"

People looked at him: "Do you know him?"

"Not only I know each other, but you all know each other." The peddler shook his finger, "Think about what you discussed all morning, and think about the black patterns on the clothes of those three!"

People were silent for a second, and then someone exclaimed: "...It's feathers! Black feathers!"

"They are black swans!"

As a result, the news that the black swan traveled with the pure white color spread like wildfire.

People were still rumoring how arrogant, lawless, and pure white the black swan was in their eyes for a second. Lailier and the black swan walked past their eyes, and they began to discuss that there must be something in the previous rumors Misunderstand.

What?Why is it a misunderstanding?Look at His Royal Highness Lalier, she is still smiling at the black swan!Surely the black swan didn't offend the pure white color.

And because Lairier went to the street frankly, more and more people watched.People crowded one layer at a time, and even Lalier's bodyguards couldn't bear it.

"Please don't crowd! There are children in front!" The guards opened their hands to separate Lelier from the crowd, "Watch your feet and step on them carefully!"

However, apart from the spectators, fanatical believers also began to gather here, just to see the pure white pearl with their own eyes.

"Ah!" A child was pushed forward by the crowd and fell to the ground. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Let's go, let's go!" His mother was very anxious behind, but the journey to reach the child was full of difficulties, "There is a child on the ground! Don't step on him! Be careful..."

Li Chen pulled up the child who fell in front and dragged him out of the crowd.

His actions were a bit rough, and the child was so frightened that he forgot to cry, but fortunately, Lairier's female officer hurried over to reassure him.

Li Chen glanced at Yulia and Fudexi, and then the three stood in three directions, facing the crowd.

The next moment, Li Chen took out a square crystal and smashed it to the ground, and the black swans all drew out their sabers!

A gust of icy wind blew through the crowd, and the female warrior Yulia shouted: "Everyone stand still! Don't move!"

She didn't carry a weapon in battle, but a sword wrapped in fighting spirit is enough to intimidate ordinary people, not to mention that when she turned cold, she was indeed full of anger: "Whoever wants to beat whoever! Don't care about you, men, women, children!"

Lelier looked at it and gestured to his head of guards, so the guards released coercion and stared at the crowd in unison: "Please be quiet! Please stay where you are!"

Li Chen looked back at Lailier: "Your Highness, did I find someone to evacuate the crowd?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lailier nodded without hesitation: "It's troublesome."

Li Chen put his finger between his lips and blew a long whistle.Soon, there was an eagle howl in the sky.

"It's an eagle!" People watched the bird land on Li Chen's arm, and whispered, "I've never seen an eagle fall in the capital of the temple! Is it the third highness's eagle in the wilderness!"

No one answered their questions, Li Chen hung something on the eagle's leg, and sent his arm up——

The eagle flapped its wings and jumped into the sky.
