For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 113



" You two are playing games with me, aren't you? "

Lennox couldn't hide his annoyance and picked up a random book from his side to throw it at them. Lennox wouldn't hit a pregnant woman so his warth was aimed at Roan, who silently received it with no complaints. Annasophy has told him how she got Lennox to help them, which was a total blackmail. He felt guilty for forcing a kid out of his way to clean their mess, but what could they do? The Emperor is seriously out of their reach.

Annasophy caressed the spot where Roan was hit while saying patiently:" It can't be helped we decided to keep the child, so what's the plan? "

Veins popped on Lennox forehead. If only he hadn't buried those dead bodies in his courtyard, he wouldn't have had to do this shit.

' it's not like I can hide her until she gives birth and surprise the old man to his death, can I? '

Lennox felt a headache rising. He threw another book on Roan then abruptly stood.

" What paln what shit, we are telling the old man, this matter can not be concealed from him forever, the sooner he knows the more likely he would spare you "

Annasophy anxiously rised her voice:" NO! We can't tell him, daddy will definitely grab his sword and run at us "

" Then what do you expect me to do?! You think if you secretly gave birth to it everything would be fine? Like hell!! In a few weeks your 21st birthday banquet will be held, many suitors will attend, what would you do if the old man found that 'kind and respectful young wealthy man' he wanted for you? "

Annasophy was almost sobbing at this point, she responded in a low pitiful voice:" Daddy won't force me to marry someone I don't want "

" He won't, but he will suspect why his obedient daughter does not want to get married. Realizing that the guy has no problems then the issue would be from you, after investigating, this mess is ought to be discovered. Ah his daughter shamelessly hooked up with some random guy, got pregnant and is trying to hide it right under his nose! "

As a father of six boys and a sole daughter, Lennox somehow understands Jennings's feelings. After all, if his small blue-fire ball suddenly appeared with a potato-guy holding hands and saying they are dating, he would erase that bastard's existence, even grim reapers won't find a shred of him.

' No! I should let the children grow up.....oh fuck I miss them '

Taking advantage of the pause, Roan asked with a stright back and a serious face.

" Your highness, could you point out the flaws that I should change in order to be a suitable candidate for the Princess? I will definitely do everything to overcome my shortcomings "

Just before Annasophy say something cheesy, Lennox quickly answered:" you are decent-looking from a good family, with manners morals, so if I am going to name something then it would be your eyes "

"....."

" I mean you look too soft, like an abounded puppy on the roadside. No offense, but with that expression I would entrust you with even my pen, you look too pitiful "

"....." ×2

The confused silence was disturbed by knocks on the door, followed by deep manly voice.

" Your highness, this is Commander Erlin, may I have a minute of your time? "

Lennox motioned to the two to exit from his bedroom before answering in his usual indifferent tone.

Erlin walked with a stright posture, knelt and greeted the crown prince, then stood again when he was allowed to. He directly reported.

" Your highness, we have successfully capured all this week's intruders with no additional issues. After interrogations, we sorted them out based on their purposes, about 12 prisoners were sent to kidnap young lady Everly, 8 prisoners were seeking for information, and 3 with unknown purposes "

Lennox hummed as he looked through the prisoners' information, noting out of place. Which means that the poppet that bewitched Everly a few days ago was still not caught.

' This is troublesome. I can't detect it's whereabouts if it doesn't have a soul, this needs to be taken care of before the Empress arrives '

Lennox raised his gaze to look at the sturdy man who was breathing quietly like an ant. The imperial guards are trained from a very young age to conceal their presence, although they would stand right in front of the person but one would ignore them as if ignoring one's own nose. With time, people in the palace learned to treat them like empty air.

Lennox sighed in his heart. He doesn't know who trained these boys, but he really wants to know how did that person make them believe that they are a bunch of wooden blocks.

" This should be fine, the numbers are less than last week, however, don't put down your defense yet. The Empress will return in two weeks, later many other guests will arrive one after another, we have to keep the palace safe "

" yes, your highness! "

" Good, you may excuse yourself "

Looking at the clock, it was already past 5 AM, Everly forced herself on the imperial knights and joined them to the night hunt, so she won't be back until sunrise. He took a bath, changed to a set of pajama then slipped into the blankets.

Laying on the bed, Lennox couldn't fall asleep, a particular scene just keeps circling in his mind. He heard fire crackling, blood splashing, people a d monsters screaming but his eyes were focused on small whit body in front of him.

Needless to say, that must be his Sin.

In these ten years he had been living as a human, Shianl always wondered why would he let his Sin be taken from him. He stands above all living creatures in this mortal world, even other honourable beings always keep distance from each other. It could not be taken by force, then why would he let such precious existence leave his side...

Although he is curious, he is also hesitant to retrieve his memories. The chaotic emotions are already hard to bear, theses memories will only drive him crazy.

That's a honorable being's nature, and he understands it well.
