Chapter 541

Cecilia suddenly said.

"Uh..."

Mu En was stunned for a moment, looking at Cecilia's cold eyes that could not distinguish any emotion, and said tentatively:

"Yes, yes... I am indeed worried about you... It hurts!"

Before Mu En finished speaking, he felt the soft little foot stepping on his chest suddenly increase its strength...

Gentlemen, I have to clarify one thing first.

I am not a pervert.

Although this foot is very cute and soft, the toes wrapped in black silk are like works of art, which makes people subconsciously want to hold it tightly and play with it carefully.

But I am not a pervert.

Being stepped on so hard will only give you a little bit of pleasure.

That's right, only a little bit.

"Forget it."

Just when Mu En was struggling between pain and happiness, and occasionally looking forward to whether he could get a glimpse of the more mysterious depths because of the girl's actions, Cecilia suddenly retracted her foot.

She turned around, and her expression could not be seen clearly, but she just casually pinned a strand of hair behind her ear.

"We'll talk about the Holy City later. Follow me first."

"..."

So you'll let me go?

Mu En blinked in astonishment, subconsciously wondering if this was some kind of trap.

As long as he walked out of this bathroom, Cecilia would immediately smash the cup as a signal, and hundreds of royal knights would rush in from outside the door and chop him into evenly fat and lean meat...

"I said..."

Cecilia turned her head again and looked at Mu En with a cold look:

"Follow me."

"Here I come!"

Mu En got up with a start and immediately followed Cecilia.

Wei'er behind him showed a look of contempt, but Mu En pretended not to see it.

Gentlemen, this is not cowardice.

But as a true gentleman, being able to bend and stretch and to give way to ladies is the most basic virtue.

...

After following Cecilia out of the room, Mu En realized that her room was actually next door.

It was just that he couldn't tell at all at the time, and he didn't have time to confirm, so he went the wrong way.

"Your Highness."

Outside the courtyard, the voices of the knights came:

"Is there anything wrong? I just heard a strange noise."

"It's okay. Wei'er fell in the bathroom. You just stay at your post."

"I understand."

The knight hid in the darkness again and faithfully carried out his mission.

Cecilia took Muen, a big man, into her room late at night.

As soon as he entered the room, Muen looked around curiously and found that the style of the room was completely different from Wei'er's. The whole room didn't even have much decoration. It didn't look like a place where an imperial princess lived. It was full of simplicity.

The most conspicuous thing was a desk. There were several books placed randomly on the desk, most of which were upside down on the table. It seemed that before Muen sneaked in, Cecilia was sitting here quietly reading.

"It's so late, and you're still working so hard."

"I'm different from a certain playboy. I don't have so much time to waste on some romantic things."

Cecilia turned around to pour water.

"..."

"Here."

Cecilia placed a cup of hot coffee on the table in front of Mu En, and poured herself a cup, adding sugar cubes to the fragrant black coffee.

One by one, it looked like the sweetness should be amazing.

"This...drinking black coffee late at night?"

"...You don't want to drink it?"

Cecilia stopped stirring her jade hands, raised her head and stared at Mu En quietly.

"Drink, I drink!"

Mu En quickly raised his head and drank half a cup of bitter coffee. The strong aroma made him feel a lot more energetic, and the hot temperature also warmed up his body, which was indeed a little cold.

After drinking the coffee, Mu En sat opposite Cecilia and began to look around again.

"You look more..."

"What? Do you think I should stay in the dark prison now, helpless and alone, waiting for you, Master Campbell, to come and save me?"

"No... no way."

Mu En smiled awkwardly:

"I just heard that you were imprisoned by His Majesty, so..."

"It's just house arrest."

Cecilia moved gracefully, sipping coffee in small sips.

It seemed that the large amount of sugar made her feel satisfied, and her cold expression eased a little.

"No matter what, I am still the third princess of the empire. As long as my father still recognizes me as his daughter, who can do anything to me?"

"That's right..."

Mu En scratched his cheek, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Ask any questions you have. I can't keep you until daytime."

Cecilia raised her head, staring at Mu En with cold eyes, revealing a rare meaningful look.

"After all, breaking into the princess's mansion and forcibly entering the girl's bathroom is a serious crime. I don't want my fiancé to be in jail the next time I see him."

"..."

That's too much.

Isn't it just a little accident? Why is he so embarrassed?

Mu En secretly complained a few times, then took a deep breath, stood up, and stared into the girl's eyes.

"I want to ask...about the current situation in Belland..."

"You don't know?"

Celica asked back:

"The Duke's Mansion should have its own source of information."

"The information is too messy and it is difficult to organize it into a definite line."

Mu En shook his head:

"It's really difficult to see the source of the storm in person without being at the center of the storm, so I can only ask you, Celcia. You are one of the people closest to the center of power in this country. You should understand today's situation better than anyone else. The problem lies.”

"Indeed, I understand very well."

Celcia nodded:

"There are many problems now, and the various forces are mixed together. It does seem chaotic, but in fact, there is only one real problem..."

Celcia suddenly paused, and then suddenly said word by word:

"Father, he...can't do it anymore."

"What?"

After understanding the explosiveness of the news in a very short period of time, Mu En's pupils shrank sharply:

"But the news I received was that I was seriously ill..."

"To the outside world, it can only be called a serious illness. What do you think will happen in reality?"

Celecia asked in a calm tone. Mu En looked at her perfect and pretty face, but still could not see any emotional fluctuations from it.

"I see... It's because His Majesty is so seriously ill that some guys who usually don't even dare to show their heads have some thoughts that they shouldn't have."

Mu En rubbed her brows with a headache.

Things seemed more troublesome and serious than he imagined.

If something really happened to His Majesty and there was a certain vacuum in the imperial power, then the royal faction would naturally be at a disadvantage in this dispute.

"Damn it, Your Majesty was still so healthy when we last met. Why?"

Mu En recalled the tall figure he had met before. It didn't look like he would be so ill in just a few months.

"Not only that."

"What?"

"I said it's more than that."

Celecia put down the coffee cup in her hand and let out a rare sigh:

"The real source of the storm brewing in Belland now is actually... the competition for that position."

"You mean, the battle for the succession to the throne?"

Mu En frowned:

"That's right. If your Majesty is really... In this situation, the successor to the throne is indeed a problem... Wait, that's not right!"

Mu En suddenly reacted:

"Why is this a problem?"

Your Majesty today has only three children.

The eldest prince, Albert Leopold, was born with a brain disease and now has an IQ that is no different from that of a child.

Everything is normal, it can be said that it is the second prince, Andrew Leopold, who is destined by fate.

And the third princess who is a daughter, Celcia Leopold.

Taken together, among the three people, there is no doubt who the successor to the throne will be. In fact, everyone in the empire has already acquiesced that the second prince will be the next emperor.

but why……

"Originally, this wasn't a problem."

Celecia looked out the window, in the direction of the palace, and said in a leisurely tone:

"But when my brother Albert suddenly recovered from his brain disease not long ago, this problem became huge."

80. The royal curse

"Brain disease? Can it be cured without treatment?"

Because the news was so shocking, Mu En was stunned for a few seconds:

"I do not know how?"

"It is just a rumor at the moment and has not been confirmed. The news is also under strict containment."

Celcia took a sip of coffee:

"At least to the outside world, that's the case."
