Maria died. It is said that she slipped and fell into the mixer, and was then hanged into several pieces. Her death was extremely miserable.
"Die like that?!" Natalie asked in disbelief.
"Does immortality still allow him to become Oden?" Lin Zhiming asked calmly.
"You knew Auden was going to kill her?" Natalie asked.
"I don't know, I just think it's not good for Oden if she's alive, but I didn't expect this accident to happen so quickly." Lin Zhiming said.
Natalie's face looked a little ugly.
"Go back and have a good rest." Lin Zhiming patted Natalie on the shoulder.
Natalie nodded, then said goodbye to Lin Zhiming and left.
Lin Zhiming took Ye Shan to his room under the guidance of a servant.
His room is located on the third floor. The room is very large. It not only has a bedroom, but also a large living room.
The decoration style of the room is still a European aristocratic style.
"My room is next door, Mr. Lin. If anything happens, you can call me anytime." Ye Shan said.
"Yeah." Lin Zhiming nodded, walked to the front of the sofa and sat down.
The sofa is very soft, and it's the expensive kind.
"You should go back and rest first." Lin Zhiming said.
"Okay." Ye Shan nodded and then left Lin Zhiming's room.
After Lin Zhiming sat on the sofa for a while, he got up and walked around the room.
After walking around, Lin Zhiming returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.
At this moment, Lin Zhiming's cell phone suddenly rang.
Lin Zhiming picked up the phone and took a look and found that the call was from the Imperial Capital.
Lin Zhiming picked up the phone.
"I know my fate, I'm glad that you finally took this step." Mr. Guo's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What step has been taken?" Lin Zhiming asked in surprise.
"I know that you are already over there in the Fu Kingdom and have officially met Ryan Portman as your boyfriend!" Mr. Guo said.
"Then what?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Aren't you doing this just to help us get the lithography machine back? Don't think I don't know. You said you were unwilling to sacrifice for the country, but in fact you still did it." Mr. Guo said.
.
"What you said is wrong. I came here because I really fell in love with Natalie. I came to her for no other reason except love." Lin Zhiming said.
"Ah?" Mr. Guo was stunned.
"I think Natalie is the woman I love most, and I want to marry her." Lin Zhiming said again.
"Is it inconvenient for you to talk over there?" Mr. Guo asked.
"It's not bad." Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "Stop talking, Mr. Guo, I want to rest."
After saying that, Lin Zhiming hung up the phone directly and threw the phone aside.
Not long after, Mr. Guo sent a message, but Lin Zhiming had no intention of reading it. He closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.
At the same time, somewhere in this building.
Ryan Portman is sitting on the sofa, holding a pair of headphones in his hand.
Lin Zhiming's voice came from the headphones.
Ryan Portman listened carefully. When he heard Lin Zhiming say Natalie was his favorite woman, Ryan Portman smiled.
He put the headphones aside and said to Payton in front of him, "It seems that Lin Zhiming came here just for Natalie."
"Maybe." Payton nodded, and then said, "Actually, no matter whether he comes with other purposes or not, as long as he can stay with the lady, the help to the lady will be huge, and it is not in vain.
You told me that you took the initiative to get him together with the lady."
"Natalie still thinks that I, as a father, am unwilling to help her." Ryan Portman said with a helpless smile.
"Your help to her is always invisible. The lady has not lived in aristocratic circles since she was a child, and she has not done much intrigue. It is normal for her not to notice your help to her." Payton said.
"If you want to become a qualified Duke of Bauhinia, you must have extraordinary intelligence and strategy. If you can't deal with several other heirs, then what qualifications do you have to be my heir? I have now made Lin
The card of knowing fate has been given to Natalie, it depends on how well she can play it." Ryan Portman said.
"Miss, you will definitely become a person who can control the overall situation as you wish," Payton said.
"I hope so, I don't have much time, cough cough cough!" Ryan Portman said, coughing violently.
On the other side, in Natalie's room.
The first thing Natalie did when she returned to the room was take a shower.
She heated the water very hot and allowed the hot water to wash over her body, as if there was something dirty on her body.
After a long time, Natalie walked out of the bathroom naked.
She was all red, as if she had just finished a sauna.
Natalie walked to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, all red.
"Lin Zhiming, I hope that my efforts will be enough for you in return!" Natalie murmured to herself.
Night falls.
In order to welcome Lin Zhiming's arrival, Ryan Portman specially held a welcome dinner and invited many nobles to attend.
Lin Zhiming put on the clothes of a noble, and as Natalie's boyfriend, met with these nobles, had a meal, and drank wine.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very good. These nobles did not look down on Lin Zhiming because he was not a noble. Instead, they chatted and drank with Lin Zhiming very enthusiastically.
This is partly because of Lin Zhiming’s own strength, and partly because of Ryan Portman’s relationship. Lin Zhiming may become Natalie’s husband in the future, unless your brain is broken, or you bring someone with you.
He had a certain purpose, otherwise it would be impossible for him to stand up and ridicule Lin Zhiming for no reason.
Halfway through the meal, Ryan Portman left to answer a phone call.
When Ryan Portman came back, he lightly knocked on the table.
The people who were chatting suddenly fell silent.
"A piece of good news." Ryan Portman looked around at everyone, and finally set his sights on Lin Zhiming.
"I know, I just received a call from Prince Wesley's secretary. His Royal Highness will hold a wine tasting and art appreciation party at his residence tomorrow night. His Royal Highness hopes that you can all go to the party..." Ryan Bo
Terman said.
"Prince Wesley?" Lin Zhiming was stunned for a moment. This Prince Wesley is the third son of the Queen of Fu Kingdom. He must be about fifty years old this year, which is a full twenty years older than him. The two are not in the same age group.
He had never had any interactions before, so he really didn't expect that Prince Wesley would invite him to the party.
"Yes, the prince invites you and Natalie to go to his mansion together. His mansion is located in Langdon City." Ryan Portman said.
"That's really our honor!" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
Being invited by the prince was indeed a very honorable thing. People around him congratulated Lin Zhiming, but there was something wrong with Natalie's expression.
The dinner ended before ten o'clock in the evening.
Noble gentlemen from all over the country left the manor with the help of servants.
Lin Zhiming winked at Natalie, who nodded slightly, then said goodbye to Ryan Portman, and left the banquet hall with Lin Zhiming.
"I see that you don't really want to attend Prince Wesley's party?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Yeah!" Natalie nodded and said, "I really don't want to."
"Why?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Prince Wesley... he is a very weird person. He is a firm aristocratic supremacist and believes that the aristocracy should be the master of this country. But you also know that our country is a constitutional monarchy and the king has no real power. As a
Naturally, the prince has no real power...The contradiction between reality and ideals makes Prince Wesley very emotional, and your casual words may make him fly into a rage. Therefore, in our aristocratic circle, no one is very willing to come into contact with Prince Wesley."
Natalie said.
"So that's the case, then why would he invite me to the party with you?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"He... once pursued me." Natalie said with an embarrassed look.
"The prince pursues you?" Lin Zhiming asked in astonishment.
"Yes, he pursued me, but he has always had a good reputation in the aristocratic circle, and many aristocratic ladies are his lovers. If I am allowed to be with such a man, it is better for me to die, so
I rejected his pursuit," Natalie said.
"Are you still pursuing it now?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It's not as crazy as before, but he is still pursuing me. He once approached my father and tried to ask my father to marry me to him, but my father rejected me," Natalie said.
"Rejected by your father? Why? Logically speaking, marrying into the royal family is a very honorable thing." Lin Zhiming said.
"This is true for ordinary nobles, but not for us. To be honest, my father's title is second only to the queen and prince, and the prince's title is prince. The prince's status is noble, but because he is a family member with the queen,
, so the prince has almost no real power in the family, and marrying the prince will not do us any good. Moreover, once I marry the prince, I will automatically lose the qualification to inherit the title of Duke of Bauhinia, so my father will not be able to inherit the title of Duke of Bauhinia no matter what.
You cannot marry me to Prince Wesley." Natalie said.
"I see, then this party might be the Hongmen Banquet? A war between the suitor and the incumbent?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
"But... it's possible! You don't need to go. Although it's not good to go against the prince's good intentions, but... this can avoid some uncontrollable things." Natalie said.
"Why not go?" Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "Only those who are not strong enough will choose to avoid it. For people like me, no matter who my enemy is, I will move forward bravely until I defeat it completely!"
