Throne Steps

Li Chen received the notice of being interviewed during the meal, and was almost unhappy.

Sean eats with him.Although she didn't hear clearly what he was ordered to do, she still knew a thing or two about the person who had just delivered the letter, so she asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Li Chen replied, "It's just the matter of being turned over by the emperor."

Xiao En didn't understand, he was puzzled for a while, and then asked: "I heard that a fool gave that person a drunk sparrow?"

Li Chen wiped his mouth and responded.

"Why is there such an idiot?" Sean poked at the leftovers on the plate, "I said, the drunk sparrow is noisy, you have to find a way to get rid of it."

Li Chen Shi Shiran stood up, took the plate, and then replied: "What are you worrying about?"

Sean followed him, always straightforward: "I can't understand that idiot."

Like the previous time, Li Chen arrived at Saenz's apartment late at night.

As soon as he entered the door, he noticed the strange atmosphere.After careful observation for a while, I found that none of Saenz's guards seemed to be there.The butler welcomed him to the reception room, knocked on the door to let him in, and then closed the door with a click.

If he didn't know that he was not worthy of being killed, Li Chen felt that he would be dismembered in the next second.

In the room, only a lamp was lit on the sofa cabinet. Even though the moonlight outside the window was bright, it was still much darker than the living room.Saenz stood in front of the window with his back to the room, and a golden bird dragon hung on the window sill.The moonlight printed the shadows of him and the birdcage on the ground, just like the sunshine on the day of the visit.

"Your Highness, good evening." Li Chen took the lead in greeting honestly.

"Good evening." Saenz turned slightly sideways, "Come here."

Li Chen frowned.He felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Saenz, but he couldn't tell the specifics.

He still walked over as promised.

Saenz waited for him to come to his side, and said with a smile, "What, night blindness?"

"It's brighter outside, and I haven't gotten used to it yet." Li Chen knew that Saenz was teasing him for walking slowly, so he replied casually, but his eyes fell on Saenz's hands.

Saenz was holding the drunk sparrow, only showing a small head and a section of tail.Drunk Sparrow was not at all as agile as when he first arrived, and even when held like this, his head was bowed, which was too abnormal.

A thought crossed Li Chen's mind.

Then he said with a smile: "It's dead? Then let me handle it for you."

After all, he spread his palms, as if he was really waiting.

Saenz looked at him probingly for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Not yet. Look—"

Soft white light shone on Drunk Sparrow's body—this was Saenz's healing technique—Drunk Sparrow opened its eyes again, and turned its little head twice very quickly.

Li Chen realized that Saenz was not just performing the healing technique, so he put down his hands and waited quietly for the next step.

"You must be very surprised, where are my guards?" Saenz spread his palms, and the little drunk sparrow stood up with a grunt in his hands.However, it is not very good at flying, just jumping and pecking on the palm of Saenz.

"My guards must be evacuated to other apartments these nights, and they cannot approach here unless it is an emergency." Saenz looked at the bouncing drunk sparrow on his palm, and slowly held it again, "Even the housekeeper, without my order, Don't come near me either."

He paused, and suddenly there was a self-deprecating tone in his tone: "It's better not to let too many people know about this kind of thing..."

Li Chen was a little dazed.Just as he was about to ask Saenz what was the matter, he saw Saenz's hand suddenly squeeze hard!

Drunk Sparrow didn't even have time to struggle, she just lowered her head.

Li Chen was startled.

Squeezing a bird to death is no big deal, but it was a Sarnlich who did it!A Sarnlich crushed a bird to death without reason or warning, who would believe it?

If there were any signs... Li Chen's mind turned, and his heart sank.

"Don't worry, he's not dead yet." Seeing Li Chen's surprised look, Saenz sneered, and spread his palms in front of him.

Li Chen picked up the drunk bird—the signs of life were already very weak.

"When there is really no way to suppress it, I just have to play with it." Saenz's tone seemed to be a sign of weakness, but his tone was very cold, "At the beginning, I just couldn't help it occasionally, but now it happens when my mind wanders, it's very hurtful Mind."

Li Chen looked at the dying drunk sparrow in his hand: "...it's the 'Song of the Siren'."

With Saenz's ability, it is impossible to follow the "Song of the Siren" so easily.Moreover, the toxicity of "Song of the Siren" can weaken by itself. If Saenz still has obvious symptoms after so many days, he must have been calculated in the first place.

"who is it?"

Saenz asked back, "What do you say?"

Those who want to attack Saenz, who dare to attack him, and who can still attack him, come and go.Li Chen squinted his eyes, then laughed: "Ai Deren."

Saenz didn't respond.But since he was silent, Li Chen took it as his acquiescence.

"It's quite courageous." Li Chen sneered in a low voice, "Is he dead?"

"He's missing." Saenz responded endlessly.He stretched out his hand to grab the drunk sparrow, but Li Chen withdrew his palm and avoided it.

Saenz looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"There are two sentences in Chinese, one is 'It's better to die than to live', and the other is 'It's better to die than to live'." Li Chen held the drunk sparrow and pinched it around its neck, "It's just a choice, but behold are more valuable."

He closed his other hand, pressed his index finger and thumb on the head of the metacarpal, and exerted force without hesitation——

"'There are two kinds of pain in this world. One makes you grow, and the other is meaningless and only increases your suffering.'" This is a line in a TV series. Li Chen imitated the indifferent and cold attitude of the protagonist expression, showing a playful smile, "'I have no patience for the latter.'"

The original language of this line was in English, which Saenz could not understand.He narrowed his eyes and watched Li Chen spread his palms again.

The drunk sparrow never opened its eyes again.

"Sometimes patience can bring back success, sometimes patience can bring disaster." Li Chen switched back to the common language, and sent the dead drunk sparrow back to the golden cage, where it lay quietly at the bottom, bathing in the moonlight, "Sometimes It is easier to be forgiven if you are frank. If you just let it go... at least in my eyes, the person who can kill a bird in the middle of the night today may kill a person in broad daylight tomorrow.

"I think there are a few people who will raise their glasses to celebrate when they hear the news."

A violent Sarnlich?At least for the people of Raetia now, it must be a bolt from the blue.

Saenz watched as he pinched Drunken Sparrow's palm, and the moonlight poured down from between his fingers.He suddenly sneered: "Are you teaching me a lesson?"

"You recruited me late at night, do you want to hear such words?" Li Chen asked back, then raised a not-so-warm smile, "Everything is as you wish."

Saenz stretched his hand between Li Chen's neck: "Little pharmacist, you must know that the symptoms will be more obvious during the detoxification process, right?"

Li Chen didn't dodge.Saenz's palm had already touched his Adam's apple, which was not very obvious, and he slowly pinched it.

"You killed my drunk sparrow, what should I do if it explodes again?" Saenz's tone was gentle, but his hands gradually increased his strength, "I killed a person before the detoxification started. Not to prepare a roomful of people, huh?"

"Some patience is meaningful."

Saenlich, who won the "Song of the Siren", can't be expected to be in any mood to joke. Saenz's strength also shows that he does have the desire to strangle people.Li Chen could only utter a few words with difficulty, and then continued to adjust his breathing.

But "Song of the Siren" isn't just a made-up bluff.Saenz frowned, the anxiety in his eyes was undisguised.The force on the neck was frighteningly strong, and the feeling of suffocation gradually came up, and Li Chen's hands had to grab Saenz's wrist.

Knowing Saenz's situation, he was also threatened with death by the other party.Li Chen's mind was chaotic, but his consciousness was very clear - Saenz really didn't want to survive.

The less you know, the better.

"I, Rigsella..." Li Chen spoke with difficulty, but most of them were just a hoarse voice, "To Saenz Wagcheno Saenlich, I will dedicate my eternal loyalty—"

His fingers quickly completed the spell in a small area, and then hooked his arms around Saenz's neck, and slammed past him!

"I take this oath."

He bit the tip of his tongue, and took another bite of Saenz's lower lip. Their lips were pressed against each other, and blood was exchanged in their mouths—the contract was completed.

The contract power that suddenly rushed into his body made Saenz wake up with a start. He was stunned for a moment, and then threw Li Chen away.

Li Chen didn't have the energy to resist, and he didn't bother to struggle, so he was thrown to the ground with his strength.He was coughing badly, but wanted to laugh. The two voices mixed together and his voice was hoarse, which seemed very harsh to Saenz's ears.

Saenz frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Li Chen was lying on the ground laughing and coughing enough, and then slowly turned over: "Your Highness... this can't be your first kiss, right?"

Saenz was taken aback again.

"Pfft..." Li Chen was happy again, Saenz's performance was unexpected, but it seemed reasonable again.Originally Li Chen was not laughing at this, but as soon as this question crossed his mind, he couldn't help asking it.

Saenz lowered his eyes and looked at the people on the ground casually: "Oh, it's not yours?"

"Cough." Li Chen choked on Saenz's magnanimity, got up and clapped his hands, "...Yes."

The signing of the contract is only a temporary idea.On the one hand, let Saenz sober up, and on the other hand, give Saenz a guarantee that he will never reveal the secret.In the future, if Saenz uses the power of the contract to give orders to Li Chen, it will produce a power similar to the spirit of speech.The effectiveness of the contract is directly proportional to the strength of the leading party. Judging from Sarnlich's pedigree, Li Chen has no chance of turning over at least for now.

When Saenz heard the answer, he squinted at the red mark on the other party's neck, and his tone was no longer so gloomy: "Go to the housekeeper and ask him to start preparing for the detoxification."

Li Chen felt a little inexplicable that Saenz suddenly became happy, but from what he said, they already had a plan to detoxify.

Then call yourself to come out like this?Li Chen was a little puzzled, but soon relieved.Saenz liked to play with him from the beginning, just get used to it.Anyway, they gave each other their first kiss, no matter how they looked at it, it wasn't their fault.

"Okay, Your Highness." Li Chen collected his thoughts and pointed to the still painful place on his neck, "But, don't we need to deal with this?"

Li Chen really didn't have the confidence to ask Saenz to treat him.However, he reckoned that the evidence of the crime was quite obvious, and for the sake of Sarnlich, it seemed wiser to eliminate the traces.

However, Saenz replied: "Keep it."

keep?All right.Li Chen raised his eyebrows, gave up the plan to ask, turned around and walked out the door.

"Also, ask the housekeeper to ask you for leave." Saenz leaned against the window sill, and said to Li Chen's back, "You stay here for a few days, and the housekeeper stays on the periphery. You follow me."

Does this mean that you want me to serve you personally?Li Chen turned around: "Hey, Your Highness, although I made a loyalty contract with you, I don't think..."

"You'll get what you want."

Li Chen looked directly at Saenz.After a while, he asked, "...including Yanying?"

Saenz laughed: "Including Rock Eagle."
