Just then, Levy, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke up.
His once extremely pale blue eyes were now fixed intently on Qin Chu as he asked, "Did you change anything about this story?"
Qin Chu did make some changes, but now that there are many people around, he naturally couldn't reveal his real name or some key information.
But instead of answering immediately, he looked up at Levy and asked, "Oh, what did I change?"
His Highness the Crown Prince didn't realize this was a potentially disastrous question. He immediately laughed and said, "I didn't tell the story, how would I know?"
Upon hearing this, the temperature in the previously cool Royal Palace suddenly dropped.
It looks like someone moved a polar iceberg here.
Author's Note:
Qin Chu: I'm so angry! How come I still haven't remembered!
It's the last day of 2021!
My drafts are almost gone!
I hope to finish this story by January next year...
Chapter 81 Psychiatry
The group sat there for a while in the suffocating cold air.
With his keen sense of danger, Kamin slowly moved backward from the sofa behind Qin Chu...
Finally, when Camin stood firmly against the wall, His Highness the Crown Prince realized that something seemed to be wrong.
He stroked his chin and began wildly speculating about the story's plot: "Could it be that the emperor's last edict was to bestow the title of empress upon the general, but you changed it to him being buried alive with him?"
Everyone: "..."
Who the hell made these random changes?
Why bestow the title of empress upon someone who is already dead?
Your guesses were so outrageous, and you still have the nerve to say others are making wild guesses?
but……
After thinking about it for a while, it seems to make some sense.
The emperor and the general just don't sound right.
Others who heard this only sensed something was amiss, but the iceberg sitting on the sofa—no, the man in the black robe—was already swelling, swelling, like a pufferfish inside an iceberg…
Finally, as if he couldn't take it anymore, the man in the black robe stood up from the sofa.
It looks like he's ready to leave at the slightest disagreement.
Just then, Levi, who was watching this scene with a smile, waved to the side and said, "Come here."
Lanny, who was called over, was taken aback.
He stood there, unsure how to react.
His lie about staying at Roy Palace was exposed, and the real storyteller had arrived.
At that moment, Lanny felt his cheeks burning hot, as if he had been caught red-handed stealing something.
As Lanny hesitated, the man in black robes turned to look at him and said, "Don't move."
Two completely opposite commands.
Lanny was unsure which side to follow.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince clearly seemed more approachable.
Hearing him call him now, Lanny felt a mix of panic at being exposed and an irrepressible surge of hope.
So he lowered his head and quickly walked toward Levy.
"Your Highness, I..."
As Lanny stood before Levy, trying to figure out how to explain, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, as if his lungs had become useless, and a feeling of suffocation surged up within seconds.
Lanny didn't understand what was happening. He lowered his gaze and saw a long, strong arm.
The Crown Prince in front of him was still smiling, but those hands, as perfect as works of art, were already gripping his throat.
Everyone in the reception room stood up, including two cabinet officials.
But Levy didn't care at all. He leaned back in his chair, his fingers easily gripping Lanny's neck as if he were holding a chicken to be slaughtered.
"You said you told the story."
Levi spoke, his voice carrying the same laughter as always, but it sent a chill down Lanny's spine.
He felt like he was going to die.
Only now did he fully realize that the gentle prince in front of him could smile and ask him to stay in the Royal Palace, and could also smile and coax him to ignore the instruments that were extremely harmful to his body.
And now, he can just as easily kill him in front of everyone with a smile.
In that instant, Lanny had absolutely no idea how to react.
He never imagined that such a small lie would so easily cost him his life.
Driven by his survival instinct, he instinctively turned to look at the two officials standing in the reception room.
Dud didn't dare to utter a sound, while Mullin merely frowned and said, "Your Highness, you..."
But Levy didn't give him a second glance, and Mullin realized that his words were useless, so he didn't continue.
The entire reception room fell silent again, with only the ticking of the wall clock.
Lanny was completely unable to breathe, and his consciousness was beginning to blur due to the effects of suffocation.
Seeing the reactions of the two officials, he suddenly realized that everyone knew what a terrifying thing this crown prince was. He could speak gently to you one second and crush you the next.
He was the only one who mistook the devil for a good person.
In that instant, Lanny was filled with regret.
Regretting that she had lied and stayed at Roy Palace in the first place, and regretting that she hadn't stopped the man in black robes from giving orders, she walked toward the Crown Prince.
Just as Lanny's consciousness was about to completely fade, he heard that cold voice again: "Let go."
Lanny struggled to open his eyes and saw a hand across the Crown Prince's wrist.
This hand looked very thin compared to the prince's, but it rested firmly on Levi's wrist.
The two cabinet officials were also taken aback, and Camin stood completely pressed against the wall. He hadn't expected anyone to dare to approach when Levy was angry.
Not only did the man in black dare to do it, but realizing that his command had been ineffective, he also clicked his tongue impatiently and tapped the man's wrist with his finger.
"let go."
Something amazing happened.
After the man in the black robe said those words, Levi's grip on Lanny's neck actually loosened slightly.
They couldn't see it clearly, but they could tell from Lanny's heavy breathing.
Kamin felt like the sun was rising in the west.
Levy's actions were always unpredictable, and no one dared to provoke him when he was clearly in a bad mood.
He once witnessed Levy grab a person by the neck, open the hatch of a moving starship, and throw the person out.
A fireworks display was perfectly staged in a vacuum.
Therefore, they took every joke Levy made seriously, because these words could turn from jokes into reality at any time.
But now...
How dare anyone try to calm Levy down when he's throwing a tantrum?
And you actually managed to persuade them to stay?
Kamin stared in horror at the smiling Levy.
No, things aren't that simple.
Knowing their captain as he did, he knew that the captain's hand might be on the black-robed man's neck in the next second.
Kamin immediately lit a row of candles for the man in black in his mind.
But then he heard a cold, seemingly angry voice say, "Let go."
With a "smack," the man in black slapped Levi's wrist with his claw.
With that "pia" sound, Levi suddenly released his grip, and Lanny collapsed to the ground.
Kamin's chin was directly contributed to the earth.
He remained with his jaw dangling to the ground, staring blankly at Levy in the main seat, feeling as if someone was not quite lucid.
But whether this person is him, Levi, or the man in black is hard to say.
The Crown Prince, who had just gone mad, looked at the red marks on his wrist.
He didn't speak, nor did he show any expression; he just looked down at the screen.
A sense of tension surged up again, as if the Crown Prince would reach out and crush the black-robed man's throat in the next second.
As the second hand ticked rapidly, His Highness the Crown Prince finally moved.
he……
He lowered his head and blew on the red mark on his wrist.
Not content with just boasting, this man also raised his hand and shoved it in front of the man in black robes, looking accusing: "Look at the damage you did to me! Are you going to take responsibility if I'm crippled?"
With a thud.
The chin that Kamin had just picked up returned to Mother Earth's embrace.
The Dodd official, who was trying to sit down, fell to the ground instead.
In this strange atmosphere, Qin Chu glanced at the Crown Prince but remained silent.
