Thales had a determined expression and was determined to ask about the identity of his mysterious mother.
Li Xiya chuckled disdainfully.
"Troubled?" The charming officiant walked up to him with a scary look in his eyes: "More than that."
"She's a nightmare."
Nightmare? Thales couldn't help but be startled when he thought of Kessel V's indifference and disregard for him.
"It's time for you to leave, blood of the kingdom." Li Xiya looked down at Thales coldly: "I have already seen you, your mission is completed."
Thales came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and took a step forward.
"Selan Zelana."
Hearing this name, Li Xiya suddenly paused, and the color in her eyes changed.
Thales took a deep breath and continued: "This is my mother's name. I don't know what this name means to you - but no matter who she is, I need to know!"
Li Xiya lowered her head slightly and narrowed her eyes.
In an instant, Thales was surprised to find that all the eternal lights in the room became brighter and brighter, illuminating the dark stone house extremely brightly.
The originally quiet and gentle flame inside the lamp even began to crackle and pop!
Is this - divine magic?
He squeezed his left hand.
Li Xiya looked at Thales's gray eyes, her brows getting tighter and tighter.
Finally, she waved her sleeves in disgust.
"You are really a continuation of that nightmare."
"Here's a word of advice: Don't ask about everything about your damn mother - I won't tell you anything."
Thales looked at Li Xiya blankly.
But he still suppressed his displeasure and said hurriedly:
"But you told me! You told a son that his mother was a nightmare!"
Thales raised his head and looked into Li Xiya's cold black eyes without any sign of weakness.
"I'm curious. Whose nightmare is she? Her father's?" Thales gritted his teeth and asked, "Or is it your nightmare?"
Li Xiya's eyes suddenly burst into sharp light.
Not a description, but a real golden light!
It was so bright that Thales couldn't open his eyes!
Thales took a step back in shock, raised his left hand to block his eyes, and touched the jc dagger with his right hand.
Under that golden light, he felt very uncomfortable.
Is this the power of the so-called sunset goddess?
"Be careful, mortal." Li Xiya, whose eyes were shining brightly and couldn't even see her pupils or eyes clearly, looked majestic at this moment, but said extremely calmly:
"No one in this world understands your mother's abomination better than me."
Thales looked at her blankly.
"She is a cold, cruel, cunning, cunning, crazy and paranoid bitch about power."
"Every move she makes has an ulterior and ugly purpose."
"Mark my words - forget her completely, otherwise you will regret it one day."
——————————————————————————
Thales walked up and down several flights of stairs absentmindedly, and followed Jini on the unknown floor of Fuxing Palace.
He couldn't let go of Li Xiya's words for a long time.
Cold, cruel, insidious and cunning?
Crazy paranoid about power and strength?
Who is his mother?
Thales felt more and more doubtful about his life experience.
Especially, everything about myself... is abnormal.
Thales gritted his teeth.
Jinni looked at Thales and shook her head slightly.
"Don't take it to heart," Ji Ni curled her lips nonchalantly, "It's normal for Li Xiya not to like you - that woman has always been stubborn and can't let go of anything."
Thales raised his head curiously and heard the palace lady say plainly: "Before she became the officiant, she had a marriage contract with your father."
Thales was shocked when he heard this.
"engagement?"
"Yeah...for many reasons, they couldn't get married."
Jinni snorted disdainfully:
"Li Xiya - that woman who couldn't live without a man, ran to the Sunset Temple in anger and served the goddess for the rest of her life."
"So she doesn't like me either - the king's lover."
The traveler who had just heard a big gossip opened his mouth in surprise.
"But so what," at that moment, Jinni returned to her capable and shrewd look, and the first-class female officer in the palace gently raised her lips: "Why do you need to let other eyes determine your destiny."
"Even if it's the gaze of a god."
At this time, Jinni stopped in front of the door of another larger stone house and gently opened the door.
"We're here, it's still the same. You can go in alone." Looking at this stone house, Jinni's original capable and confident expression disappeared, and she could only sigh in frustration.
"Only you can go in here." The female officer said quietly.
"Me - us?" Thales wondered.
He finally realized that something was not right with Jinni standing in front of this door.
But Jinni once again pushed him into the stone house without any explanation.

Yongxing City, West Gate.
"Wait a minute! Is that the Karabyan family's motorcade in front of you? Is Count Karabyan himself here? Uncle? Is that you, the uncle?"
A group of knights holding the single-winged crow flag rushed from the city gate in a dusty manner and caught up with a carriage escorted by more than a dozen knights. The door was engraved with the coat of arms of two towers and a long sword.
.
The knights of the single-winged crow flag were led by a male noble in his thirties. He accelerated his horse and came to the carriage, watching as a majestic old nobleman with gray temples stepped down.
"Dele? It's you, the young and promising Earl of Wing Castle from the Colomo family, who actually rode over here?" the old nobleman said gently.
The young Earl of Wing Castle, Dele Colomo, smiled: "It would take at least two days and two nights to get here from Wing Castle by carriage, and there was no time at all. I simply came here on horseback."
"On the way here, I met the convoys of the Bozdov family and the Lasya family. They should arrive in a while - in this way, all the people from the west of the Thirteen Noble Families will be here."
"Uncle, long time no see... How are cousin Cohen and aunt, as well as Kasha and Qina doing?"
"Cohen has been unable to sit still since he came back from the battlefield... I arranged for him to work as a security officer in the royal capital first... Sigh." Thinking of the report made by his old classmate, Count Karabiyan was deeply moved.
Sighed.
"As for your aunt, she is still like that. She worries about Cohen's marriage every day - but she makes the little devils at home so happy that she urges their mother to hold a dance every day in the name of helping her brother find a wife." The old nobleman said lightly.
.
"What?" Young Colomo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "My aunt has always been like this. When I came of age, she almost didn't bring half of you girls from the Vola clan here."
Colomo then took a step forward and whispered: "So, that thing is true - the only son of King Nun died in the stars?"
The Earl of Volaland, Turami Karabiyan looked at his wife and nephew and sighed softly: "It seems to be true. I just met Earl Zemuto of the Arend family. I heard that Ek
St.'s couriers are already on their way - and their armies are gathering."
"The most anxious people right now should be the Duke of the North himself and his family."
Colomo sighed, leaned forward, and said solemnly: "Will there be a fight?"
Count Karabiyan glanced at his wife-nephew and said slowly: "If there is no miracle, you should ask: What will the fight be like?"
"Start stocking up on food and prepare to recruit soldiers in the territory."
As he spoke, he stepped off the carriage, opened his arms, and embraced the West City Security Department Director, Lord Robik Dilla, who was coming to greet him.
"Long time no see, old classmate!"
"Haha, you have gained so much weight!"
"This is the Earl of Wingburg and my wife's nephew, Dele Colomo. He is one of the nineteen territorial vassals who are qualified to accept His Majesty's general edict."
"It turns out to be the legendary Colomo, the 'one-winged savior' among the Thirteen Noble Families!"
"You must be Lord Robik Dila, the 'Horse Slayer' who became famous in 'Fortress of Sorrow' twelve years ago?"
"Oh, that damn battle..."
After Karabyan introduced Lobik and Colomo and exchanged greetings, a melodious bell suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Boom!"
The sound of the bell was heavy and long, and could be heard far away.
Colomo, the Earl of Wing Castle who does not often come to the royal capital, frowned: "If I remember correctly, this seems to be the Bell of Stars? What big thing happened?"
Luobik, who has been in the royal capital for many years, nodded strangely: "Yes, the Bell of Stars is ringing, and something big is going to be announced in the center of each district. Generally speaking, it is the wedding of the royal family or an important person... But there has been nothing recently...
…”
at this time.
"Boom!"
The long bell rang for the second time.
Luobik's expression changed: "The bell rings for the second time!"
He solemnly said: "This means that within a few hours, His Majesty will hold a state meeting in the Hall of Stars in Fuxing Palace."
"A national conference? A national conference that is said to be open to all citizens, regardless of nobles or civilians?" Colomo looked pale: "But the news of the assassination of the Exeter mission is still a secret, and it is only circulated among the nobles.
The Parliament will also convene tonight, won’t it? Why should the National Assembly be convened at this time?”
"Yes, the matters of the national conference will be announced to the entire Xingju Square and the entire stars - do you remember the declaration of war in the Desert War?" Director Luobik thought hard.
Count Dele Colomo looked at the citizens of the royal capital who were chatting excitedly and hurried to the Star Gathering Square with an ugly face: "Your Majesty will not make the news public and declare war on Exeter in advance, right?"
"Who knows," Count Karabiyan's face darkened: "That's the 'Iron-fisted King'."
"It's not like he's never done anything like this before."
