"And trust me, I won't let it come true."

Won't.

Seeing his plain but determined expression, Xi Lai was a little surprised at first, but she soon understood something.

"You can't do it alone," the girl whispered, "you need allies - reliable allies."

alliance.

alliance?

[But what if you act too well...the people who are deceived by you and support you will form a rolling wave, using their reputation, position, camp, interests, relationships, situations, and everything to coerce you forward without allowing you to resist.

, it is not under your control, and you are not allowed to regret it.】

Looking at the girl's attitude, Thales frowned.

"Xilai, frankly speaking, the idea you just had, about getting married or something..."

"I know," Heeley put his hand on his forehead, feeling quite tired, "Please, it's not that bad, is it?"

Thales looked at her and smiled slightly.

"In fact, you are not the first person to propose a marriage contract to me."

"Oh, that's such a pity," Heeley was startled for a moment, then taunted, "I came too late and couldn't have your pure and flawless... first time?"

Thales also laughed.

"It's not a pity at all," the prince recalled the past, shaking his head in a daze, "That kind of experience is enough once."

"That bad?"

"It's worse than that."

"Miranda Allender isn't that bad, is she?"

Thales was startled, frowned and turned his head.

"Don't wonder how I know," Heeley looked mysterious and serious, but in the end he couldn't help but sigh and tell the truth, "Well, Zhan's current fate is what happened to her father in the past, so I can understand her very well.

I'm asking you for help, even if it means a marriage contract, do you understand?"

Thales remained silent, lost in thought.

Mira...

【In that case, Miranda Arend, will you be my knight?】

【I do, Your Highness.】

"I have to admit that the way she wields the sword is quite handsome. I would also like to have such a sword, but as a dowry, Hanbao's status has long been inferior to what it used to be, and..."

"It's not her," Thales interrupted her in a daze, "The first time I was proposed to, it was an ugly-faced old woman who liked to suck human blood."

Hilley was startled.

"A guy who likes to suck... ugly faces... sorry, who is that?"

[Betrayal is the true meaning of alliance,]

Thales sighed and touched the side of his neck.

"To this day, she still has a deep hatred. She dreams of sucking me dry, tearing me apart, eating me dry, chewing me into pieces, and then swallowing me for digestion."

Hilley was startled by this series of words. She rolled her eyes and chose her words carefully:

"Well, is it because she can't accept breaking up with you, or is your way of rejecting people too excessive and heartless?"

Thales shook his head and did not answer her question.

"Because of her, I made a bad choice, a wrong choice, a self-righteous choice. Many people sacrificed for this and died in the birch woods in the north." Thales thought of the past and felt depressed, "Because of my

choose."

And if he had not brought order to the chaos in time and had not been able to arrive at Broken Dragon Fortress in time, more people would have died at the border and in the subsequent war between the two countries.

Shilai felt the prince's emotions and smiled slightly:

"Then from now on...choose your partner more wisely?"

Hilley followed his word and led by example, and wisely did not ask for more stories about the ugly old woman.

However, when Thales heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Be wiser…

"Yes, so I have to choose more wisely," Thales stared at Hilley's face, gradually lost in thought, "Be more careful, more careful, more prudent, and more responsible, especially when facing people like... my father

."

Xi Lai blushed slightly when he stared at her, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Yes, then we will work together to deceive him," Healy tried to change the topic and returned to the previous context, "You and I, we will cooperate, contact, communicate, conspire, and then keep a low profile, be obedient, and maybe have a little time.

Friction to dispel suspicion, we hide, hide, confuse him, mislead him, make your father think he has complete control over you, and then one day, we will..."

Hilley spoke for a moment.

Thales came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows.

"At once?"

Miss Kevin Deere took a deep breath and shrugged:

"Let's take action."

action?

Thales was speechless for a long time as he listened to her understatement.

"What's wrong?"

Thales lowered his head and closed his eyes to prevent the other party from seeing his expression.

[You'd better understand that this is not a chess game or a game, this is a real war.]

The king's voice rang in his ears.

[And anyone, no matter what his name is, how high his position is, how much weight he has, whether he is wise or brave, aggressive or gentle, if he is self-righteous, he dares to stand in the middle of the battlefield...]

"Xilai, you just said that you and I would cooperate to deceive him?" Thales opened his eyes and spoke quietly.

【Everyone will be shattered to pieces.】

"Yes, deceiving him is like us working together to do magic," Heeley said in a matter-of-fact tone, as if he had rekindled the hope of saving his brother, "Listen, I know it sounds childish, and I also know that His Majesty is not that easy to deceive.

It’s okay, you and Zhan En are so cowardly that you will know——”

"Like you lied to me before?"

Xi Lai was startled when he heard this:

"What?"

Thales was seen staring at her with sad eyes.

When Xi Lai met his eyes, he couldn't help but tremble slightly and subconsciously avoided it.

But the prince didn't say anything after all, he just shook his head sadly.

"Oh, you mean before," Xi Lai looked down at his hands and forced a smile, "Okay, I apologize, I shouldn't have treated you like that, but didn't I say that I won't act like a ghost again?

Come to lie to you and scare you..."

"I already know, Shirley, about who you claim to be."

Just listen to Thales speak softly:

"I know you're lying to me."

Hilley trembled when he heard the sound.

"What are you talking about? What kind of lie..." She raised her head with a confused look on her face.

Until Thales raised his hand gently to stop what she was about to say.

"I know that you have been lying to me from the very beginning, from the first day we met," he looked at Hilley sadly. "You pretended to be the king's spy, pretending to be someone from the kingdom's secret department to get close to me.

To gain trust so that you and your brother can cooperate inside and outside to deal with me..."

At that moment, Shilai opened his eyes wide.

She suddenly became anxious and tried to defend herself:

"No, I didn't, I really..."

"When we met at the banquet, you tried every means to prove to me that you were the king's man," Thales shook his head, "but the next day, you knew nothing about the actions of the kingdom's secret department. I began to doubt,

You immediately emphasized that you were only a one-way contact and asked me not to contact the secret department and did not ask for identification..."

"But, but I proved my identity! I really know..." Heeley tried hard to explain.

"Yes, 'make decisions on the spur of the moment, discretion', you know the secret code the king told me," Thales looked at her with a calm tone, but with deep disappointment, "But since Federico can know it,
