This slim figure walking slowly from the end of the corridor is full of an aura of nobility and youth.
The lights in the corridor shone on that delicate and pretty face, making it look bright and lively.
The golden dress has no sleeves, only two thin straps hanging on the delicate white shoulders. The golden fabric fits perfectly with the curves of the body. All the curvatures are just right, highlighting the feminine look.
The most authentic kind of charm.
However, this charm is combined with the noble temperament, and the two contrasting feelings greatly amplify the attraction.
Lin Ran looked at this beautiful face and couldn't help but think of a name in his mind.
Princess Sheila.
Among the queen's five remaining children, Sheila ranks second, second only to the eldest prince Robin Sai.
All the photos of the royal family members are public in the Seim Empire. Lin Ran just read it once and remembered it, but he never expected that the eldest princess would actually appear in the Tomorrow Building, and...
The other party also called me by his name!
Looking at this charming sister, Mary's eyes grew colder, a hostility surged out of her heart, and she obviously clenched the sword in her hand.
The other person was beautiful, mature, and noble. Mary suddenly felt that compared with this sister, she was like an inconspicuous firefly in the night, and was simply not worth mentioning.
In the past, Mary would never have had such a comparison in her heart, but now, she herself was not aware of this subtle change in her emotions.
"Mr. Lin Ran, my name is Sheila, and my father is His Majesty the Emperor of the Sem Empire." Sheila spoke, her tone was slow and slow, with a gentle smile on her pretty face.
All her manners have been trained in palace etiquette, and there is no fault in her expressions or movements.
But, similarly, others cannot see Sheila's true emotions from her expression.
Even if her smile at this moment makes others feel like a spring breeze... but that is just a feeling after all.
"Hello Princess Sheila." Lin Ran said without any expression on his face, "I received the gift you gave me. It's nice, but it's not necessary."
Well, the implication of Lin Ran's words is just four words - mind your own business.
"Mr. Lin Ran, don't be nervous. I'm not here to get back the Blade of Holy Light." Princess Sheila said, "Besides, I didn't bring any other subordinates."
I'm not here to fight with you.
"So, is Princess Sheila here to show me friendship?" Lin Ran shrugged, with a sense of indifference in his tone: "I think there can be no pure friendship between men and women."
"If Mr. Lin Ran has time now, we can have a chat and discuss topics related to friendship." Silla had a smile in her eyes, and there was no trace of impatience in her voice.
Little Mary took a step forward and stopped in front of Lin Ran.
Sheila looked at Mary's expression and chuckled: "This little sister is so cute."
This sentence made Xiaoma
Li felt a little insulted.
"My sister is indeed quite cute." Lin Ran said, pulling Mary behind him.
Little Mary herself didn't understand why she also said people were cute, but what came out of Lin Ran's mouth made people feel comfortable?
"Mr. Lin Ran, you haven't said yet whether you are willing to accept my invitation." The smile on Sheila's face did not change.
"I have time." Lin Ran said, "You choose the place."
"Then let's go to the top floor of the Tomorrow Building." Sheila said with a very considerate look: "If we go too far, I'm afraid your sister will be worried."
Mary looked at the room, and then said to the princess: "You ensure Lin Ran's safety, and I will find someone to repair the door."
Mary felt very unhappy that the door of the den was destroyed in this way.
Then, Mary jumped directly from the corridor window!
Just leave as soon as you say it, simply and neatly!
Lin Ran didn't stop him, he just silently mourned for the Blood Hand in his heart.
Princess Sheila and Lin Ran went to the top floor of the Tomorrow Building together, while the man in black who used the needle-shaped concealed weapon stayed on the original floor to clean up the bodies of the Blood Hand members on the scene.
On the rooftop of the top floor, parked was an aircraft similar to a helicopter, with a huge propeller on the fuselage. However, Lin Ran had not heard the roar of the helicopter landing in the room before.
Seeing Lin Ran looking at the helicopter, Princess Sheila said: "Blue Star should not have this kind of aircraft yet. It is equipped with a source engine and a sound wave cancellation device. If Mr. Lin Ran wants it, I can give you one."
"Blue Star also has a source engine, but this sound wave cancellation device is relatively new." Lin Ran said: "However, I think Princess Sheila is not here to discuss technology with me."
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Princess Sheila smiled lightly: "Of course, I will also have questions to ask you later."
Standing by the railing of the rooftop, the night wind blew her long brown hair and golden skirt. This scene made Lin Ran suddenly think of a person - the monarch of an ideal country, who also likes to stand at the highest point of an ideal city.
On the rooftop, overlooking the city that belongs to her.
It seemed that we had only been away for a few days, but once the distance became infinitely greater, many memories seemed to begin to blur... Lin Ran suddenly felt a little afraid of this feeling.
After all, in certain contexts, forgetting means betrayal.
"Who does Princess Sheila come to represent?" Lin Ran asked.
"I represent myself. Of course, since some of my views are consistent with the queen's, it can also be said that I represent Aphra." Princess Sheila said.
"Isn't Queen Aphra your mother? Why does your title make people feel distant?" Lin Ran said.
Actually, listening
After hearing Princess Sheila's words, Lin Ran was a little surprised. He originally thought that Biyol, who came from the Queen's family, was ordered by the Queen to kill Gabriel.
"There seems to be some deviation in the judgment of the royal family." Lin Ran said softly in his heart as he turned to look at Princess Sheila's moving profile.
"Of course, this is true in terms of blood relationship. I am indeed the crystallization of life from the Queen and Your Majesty." Sheila said: "However, this crystallization does not mean that the two parties must be combined. They are just my parents on the legal level.
"
Lin Ran frowned slightly: "What do you mean? I don't quite understand." .??.
"I am the continuation of the queen's life, but she did not give birth to me." Sheila's tone was calm, as if she was explaining a common thing: "I grew from a cell in the culture medium to a
A complete fetus."
Lin Ran was even more surprised.
However, he immediately said: "Giving life does put a lot of burden on women's bodies. The technology in the new world is so advanced, this aspect must have been perfected. From my understanding, it is like in vitro fertilization.
Same, right?"
"Yes, this culture medium will be more perfect, better able to ensure the survival rate and health of the fetus, and even prevent miscarriage during pregnancy." Princess Sheila said: "However, in terms of human relations, I always feel that there is a little bit of emotion.
Missing."
"You told me such important information as soon as we met." Lin Ran shook his head: "I couldn't think of what kind of information I should exchange with you for a while."
"This is not a secret. After all, it is common for families with good family conditions to use culture fluid to conceive children... Of course, the vast majority of children will not consider this so-called human ethics like me.
Question." Sheila smiled slightly and said: "What I said about this matter is at most a simple self-introduction, and there is no purpose of exchanging information with you."
"The development of science and technology will always replace some things that should be done by humans." Lin Ran smiled: "Perhaps, in the eyes of many girls, this progress also relieves them from the pressure of reproductive responsibilities."
He didn't care about the legal principles and inheritance of the royal family, but he was very interested in Sheila's intention of talking about this matter at this juncture.
"Actually, from this point of view alone, I quite envy Blue Star. After all, the process of giving birth to a life should be very wonderful." Princess Sheila shook her head, changed the subject, and continued: "By the way,
An hour ago, my grandmother's family, the Roti family, held a high-level meeting."
"The Roti family?" Lin Ran smiled self-deprecatingly: "I think the content of this meeting must be related to me, right?"
"I can tell you the parts that are relevant to you." Princess Sheila said bluntly: "My uncle, General Liesel, is still very worried about you. However, Queen Aphra said at that time - a person who can't even see the stars.
No, young people, what’s there to discuss?”
After a pause, Silla said: "These are her original words."
"I always feel like the queen is covering for me, but my strength is just mediocre, and I'm really not up to the stars," Lin Ran said.
Princess Sheila smiled slightly: "But when my uncle insisted on taking action against you, the Queen said to him - even the Dark Angel is dead, how do you know that Lin Ran is not a star?"
"What is the queen's judgment on my strength?" Lin Ran really couldn't see through this big family now.
"These two sentences sound inconsistent and even logically conflicting. Do you know what this means?" Princess Sheila asked again.
Since she asked this, she obviously knew the answer.
"It means the Queen is very confused about my attitude and doesn't know whether she should do anything to me?" Lin Ran smiled.
"No matter what the Queen's assessment of your strength is, I can see that she really doesn't want to discuss you... and the ultimate meaning of this unwillingness to discuss is that the Queen doesn't want to be your enemy." After a pause,
Silla added: "At least, that's how it is now."
Although this is the case now, it is still uncertain whether they will become enemies in the future.
"Then you have to express my gratitude to Queen Aphra for me." Lin Ran said with a smile: "She took such good care of me, I'm a little touched."
Sheila then took a deep look at Lin Ran: "I have never seen my mother like this. In order to convince my uncle Lisel, she actually started to argue with him with such illogical words. This is not the usual behavior of the queen at all.
.”
Lin Ran pondered for a moment, then opened the knife box.
A golden long knife appeared in his hand.
Blade of Holy Light!
"You can take it if you need it." Lin Ran said, pulling out the long knife, looking at the golden blade, and then put it back into the scabbard.
Silla smiled softly, her eyes reflected golden light, but she did not reach out.
"Did you give it to me because you knew I wouldn't want it?" she asked.
"It's just a knife, make a friend." Lin Ran did not take back the long knife, and even flicked his wrist and threw the Blade of Holy Light directly to Princess Sheila.
"Make friends?" Silla caught the knife and couldn't help but glance at Lin Ran, obviously very surprised by his attitude. Then, a smile appeared on her pretty face: "Do you know, this knife
How valuable is it? To give it to someone casually?"
"It's only valuable to your royal family. It doesn't matter to me." Lin Ran said: "At least, given Queen Aphra's previous attitude, it doesn't matter if I give her this knife."
At least, judging from his expression, he really didn't care.
Princess Sheila shook her head, threw the long knife back, and smiled meaningfully: "What I'm curious about is... this is the blade of holy light that can only be used by the royal blood. Why can you also use it?"
