Colia, Thelma, Naki and Nai in the Bone Prison... countless figures flashed before his eyes at that moment.

And because of your weakness this time, this time you can't bear it, maybe more people's lives will be broken?

Have you forgotten the purpose of your coming here?

Remember, things have turned, Kama is a bitch, you are here to depose the Duke and destroy James...

His thoughts were spinning, and Thales suddenly opened his eyes!

"Of course, I will keep it a secret," he forced out a smile, facing the dark carriage, "We all have our own secrets."

After several seconds, Shilay's voice came from the car, with mixed emotions:

"Thanks."

An awkward silence fell between the two.

Thales took a deep breath and turned to the back: Cassian, who was slovenly dressed and described as embarrassed, was holding a sword in his arms and walking on the road with his head lowered, looking inconspicuous.

"What about the old man with the sword? What's going on?"

"After what happened yesterday, I decided to find a bodyguard," Hilley raised his voice and slowly adjusted his mood, "so that I won't be chased all over the street."

"He can make the Seychelles fearful. Isn't he an unknown person? I guess he is also from the Emerald City and a subordinate of Zhan En?"

Thales unconsciously estimated Zhan's strength in the Emerald City, and how he would protect himself if he was determined to eliminate him...

"He was once a famous knight in the Emerald City," Hilley said, "but he resigned and retired several years ago. Even though he looks like this now, he still has the title and land inherited from his family, and he has no worries about food and clothing.

"

"Since you don't have to worry about food and clothing, then there's no need to work as a mercenary for a young lady who doesn't come home often, right?"

"Unfortunately, Cassian owes me a favor."

"What kind of favor?"

"Are you going to marry me?"

"Oh, that's it - what?" Thales, immersed in complex emotions, was startled.

When he looked up, he suddenly found the eldest lady's face reappearing next to the car window, smiling.

"Since you are not planning to marry me," Heilai's smile contained a hint of sarcasm, and you should have noticed that he was distracted, "then why are you asking about my assets and debts?"

"You - pretend I didn't say it." Thales said angrily.

Damn it.

He was even thinking about how to use the other party and betray the other party, but why was this little girl so...

"Don't worry, before my mother passed away, she left a will to Zhan. As the daughter of Kevin Dill, I can inherit it. Even if it's just my mother's dowry, it's... well, I'm richer than you anyway."

When Heilai said this, he held his chin and looked up at the sky, shaking his head.

"Do you want to marry me?"

"What? You little--" Xi Lai was stunned for a moment, then looked angry.

But she reacted within a second and sneered:

"Oh, I know, it's not bad. Thales Bright Star, not bad, it's easy to counterattack."

"Yes, since you don't want to marry me," Thales raised the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically, "Why are you showing off your dowry in front of me?"

The two old rivals looked at each other, one sneered and the other disdained, as if they were fighting swords in the air, refusing to give in to each other.

But only Thales knew that his heart was extremely heavy.

The horse-drawn carriages were traveling and the number of people was increasing.

"Do you know the news this morning? Your local tour guide..." Heilai hesitated.

"Of course, the Kaguire vigilance officer was beheaded and publicly displayed, and another life was lost to politics," Thales sighed, thinking deeply, "and then there are rumors that I did it."

"That's right, I have a bad feeling. It's time for us to get nervous and take action," said Hilley, who was rarely worried. "A big wave is coming to the Emerald City, and the tide is coming. No one can survive alone."

"Yes, I thought so too, and I tried to turn the tide." Thales shook his head. He was irritated and at the same time just wanted to blame others. "But a certain big shot, I don't know. Maybe he still wants to face the difficulties and go surfing."

Chao, maybe?"

"You mean my brother?" Hilley rolled his eyes, "Okay, what happened to you and Zhan this morning?"

"Ask him, you are his good sister."

"Yes, I asked him, and he asked me to ask you!" Healy said sarcastically, "The words are even more vicious than yours: 'Ask him, after all, you are his little girlfriend?'"

"What? Wow, Zhan is actually like this, ahem..."

Thales couldn't help but want to laugh, but his expression quickly changed and he said solemnly: "Uh, so vicious."

Xi Lai's eyes sharpened:

"I saw you snickering."

"I, I didn't."

"Very proud, aren't you?"

"Really not!"

boom!

Hilley slapped the carriage, causing Thales to be shocked on his horse outside the window!

"What on earth did you and him talk about this morning?" Heeley spoke carefully, with a sinister look in his eyes.

"I--"

"If you keep pretending to be stupid for me, I swear, no matter how many people are watching around me, I will f---"

The familiar sentence pattern made Thales tremble suddenly, and he had a bad feeling!

"Because of what happened yesterday, Zhan En found out my identity."

Without waiting for the other party to finish his threat, Thales stopped making excuses and spoke concisely and directly to the point:

"We couldn't reach an agreement and broke up, so from now on, we all go our separate ways and work according to our own abilities, that's it."

Hilley was stunned.

Phew - Thales breathed a sigh of relief, well, at least he didn't get "aphrodisiac" from her again.

But he miraculously found that after such an interruption, his mood improved a lot.

"Nonsense," Heeley said as he looked into the dark corner of the carriage, "It's not about what happened yesterday."

"I didn't lie to you, if you don't believe it..."

"It's everything!"

Thales was stunned.

Heilai turned his head with a serious expression:

"You and him, from the time you came to Emerald City, no, maybe from the time you were born, have distrusted each other in everything. You entered the chessboard as rivals, so naturally you had to decide who would win before you walked out."

She punched the carriage hatefully:

"Damn it, I should have understood a long time ago that it was only a matter of time before you guys broke up - I overestimated you, whether it was Zhan's vision or your size."

Forehead……

Thales had a strange expression, and for a moment he didn't know whether to agree with the former or seriously protest against the latter.

"It makes sense," the prince decided to skip this topic, "So, the Emerald City is in danger now, but there is nothing we can do..."

"That's it, let's turn it over!" Hilley shook his head and interrupted him firmly, "Now, tell me, Thales Bright Star, do you still want to complete your mission in the Emerald City?"

Turn over?

Thales looked at her suspiciously.

The other party's eyes were burning, half expecting, half... threatening.

"Not in His Majesty's way, not in the way of rivers of blood and death and injury everywhere, but in your way," Heeley continued to ask firmly, "our way."

Our way?

Thales let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, the other party can't read minds, otherwise I would have been thinking about how to threaten her to break the situation...

"Xilai, it's not a question of whether I want to or not," Thales shook his head in denial. "Zhan and I have completely shown off. He has seen through my disguise, so he will not back down, nor will he trust me again."

Ha, it sounds like he believed me.

"But I'm not asking him, I'm asking you." Hilley's eyes were serious, "Please, Thales, little Huahua is short-sighted and ignorant, but you are the second prince and the Duke of Star Lake, so you should know better than him.

Is it reasonable?"

Little flower?

Thales had a strange look in his eyes, but he immediately realized: How should he answer this?
