Chen Huijie didn't expect that Tallulah would also know her identity as an infected person.
But this is not surprising. After all, Tallulah was present when he showed abnormal behavior. Because of the cover of Star Bear, the other Guards operators nearby might not have seen it clearly, but Tallulah was right in front of him. She must have seen very clearly the pain he was feeling because of the sound waves released by the alien fire demon that stimulated the growth of the Originium.
I thought I had hidden it well, but because of this...
"Besides, you've been with Governor Wei all year round. You know that if I go directly to him, even if I'm his niece, he won't show any leniency because of my identity. If we want the infected people from Longmen to go to Canaan to help it develop or even become permanent residents, Canaan must pay a price."
This is inevitable.
“But I don’t want to pay.”
There is no need to say this so confidently.
"So instead of going to Governor Wei, why don't I directly promote Canaan to the infected people in Longmen? He doesn't want to go there either. Even if I promote it through official channels, he won't want to go. I don't have to use Longmen's official channels to promote it, and he will want to go and take a look."
"But afterward, the infected people from Longmen migrated to Canaan en masse. Governor Wei noticed something was amiss. If he were to investigate and discover that you had been to Longmen and the Lower Town this afternoon, your actions would still be exposed, and you would face even more serious consequences. Have you considered these things?"
Inside the car, the atmosphere changed quietly, and Tallulah chuckled and asked Chen Huijie a question.
"Do you remember where I asked you to pick me up?"
This question was like a flash of lightning that suddenly flashed through Chen Huijie's mind. She thought of the place where Tallulah asked her to pick her up, the way Tallulah contacted her, and Tallulah's movements along the way.
"Rhodes Island Garrison, after the last Flame Demon crusade, you asked for my personal number, and at that time, you persuaded me not to care about the chaos in the lower city..."
It's connected, everything is connected.
"You guy."
"Don't blame me, your sister. It's just that you haven't grown up enough, Huijie. You're too immature."
Hard! The fist is hard!
At this moment, Chen Huijie had a very strong urge in his heart to punch Tallulah's face, which looked extremely annoying at the moment.
"Haha, I'm not going to continue arguing with you here. I have more important things to do, sister."
Tallulah opened the car door as she said this. Chen Huijie reached out to stop her, but was cleverly avoided by the latter.
With a slight joy in her heart, Tallulah turned around and wanted to walk out of the alley where she parked her car to investigate the current infected shantytown and promote Canaan, the city of the infected.
However, just as she closed the car door and stepped out of the alley, a piercing noise suddenly rang in her ears, which was indescribable and difficult to describe.
The moment the noise entered her mind, Tallulah felt as if she was trapped in a mudslide, being pushed and pulled back and forth by the surging mud.
This process did not take long. When Tallulah woke up from this extremely uncomfortable noise, her ears were suddenly filled with another noisy sound.
"Find cover, find cover, guards and heavy armor go up to cover the warlock behind our formation!!"
"Sniper, find a good spot and look for the enemy's important target!"
"**Longmen swear**, the bastards from Hippogriff actually attacked at this time!!"
The words of the people around her made Tallulah's brain feel very uncomfortable. She had no time to receive the information conveyed by the nearby sounds. It was too noisy and too chaotic. Until in the chaos, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Your Highness, come this way."
It was a voice he was extremely familiar with. He looked up and saw his sister pulling his hand and running away quickly. At this time, behind Tallulah, explosions, curses, and screams came one after another.
It was obvious that the chaos here was far greater than what should have been happening inside Longmen.
"Wait, Huijie, what exactly happened here? Wait a minute."
When Chen Huijie heard Tallulah calling her, she did not stop immediately, but slowed down her pace slightly, then looked at her sister beside her in confusion.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Didn't we already know this? Those guys from the Eagle Empire suddenly attacked Longmen not long ago, and sent two Eagle Guards and a large number of high-speed warships. It seems that they want to directly capture Longmen and use it as a springboard to wage war with Dayan."
Pulling Tallulah into an alley, Chen Huijie looked around vigilantly and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no pursuers behind him.
"We are in a very dangerous situation right now. Once those lunatics from the Hierophant Empire start fighting, they won't care whether you are an enemy or not. As long as you are within their target range, you are an enemy and a target to be eliminated."
When Chen Huijie said this, her eyes revealed obvious annoyance and fear, as if she had been deeply traumatized by the so-called Junying Empire she mentioned.
"So we're in great danger here. We must return home immediately. You should be given priority. I'm fine, but if you, Your Highness...if my sister is affected by the war, Victoria will lose her crown prince, and the country will fall into turmoil. This will undoubtedly give the Eagle Empire another opportunity to attack Victoria."
Wait, wait, what's going on?
Huijie wants to return to his country, but isn't he from Dayan? Longmen is in Dayan, what country are you going back to?
What's the point of going back to Victoria? Why should I go back to Victoria? If I were to go back, I would go back to Ursus.
And the crown prince? What is the crown prince? I'm the crown prince of Victoria? This joke isn't funny. Isn't it time for me to take a walk? Is it April Fools' Day already?
At this time, Tallulah's mind was extremely confused. She couldn't even respond to what Chen Huijie said in time. This made Chen Huijie tacitly assume that Tallulah agreed with her decision.
"So, we should immediately return to the city and find the Swire Group. There, we've prepared a plane and personnel to take you directly back to Victoria, to the Duke of Wellington's territory. The Duke of Wellington will escort you back to Londinium."
"Back to Londinium?"
When Tallulah heard that Chen Huijie planned to send her back to Londinium, she immediately came to her senses.
No, this won't do. We can't go back to Londinium!
Ah, more importantly, Huijie, are you serious?
Tallulah looked at her sister in surprise. Her determined and serious look didn't look like an April Fool's joke at all, not to mention that it was still more than three months away from April Fool's Day.
Damn it, what the hell is going on? Why did it suddenly become like this?
Outside the alley, the sounds of shouting and fighting continued to echo.
Those familiar Guards operators that Talulah saw were still rushing towards the place where the battle was taking place, but then they were rushed out from the explosion, and the silver-armored warriors cut them in half with one sword!
This is absolutely not a joke!
Seeing the Security Bureau agent being chopped in half right before her eyes, Tallulah became even more certain that this was definitely not an April Fool's joke!
I've never heard of anyone playing an April Fool's Day joke that would cost human lives. Do you think you are Sargon Pasha?
When she saw the silver-armored warrior, Tallulah noticed that Chen Huijie beside her suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.
"The general of the Hippodrome Guard... that general. How could it be possible? Shouldn't he be on the battlefield between the Hippodrome Empire and Leithania? How could he appear here?!"
General? Hippogriff?
Looking at the tall silver-armored warrior Talulah, I clearly felt a sense of oppression from her. This guy is very strong, this is what Talulah's instinct told him.
"elder sister!"
Suddenly Chen Huijie called out Tallulah.
"what?"
When Tallulah turned around, she was met with a pair of firm and resolute eyes. In those eyes, she seemed to see an emotion that made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Sister! No, if I try to persuade you with this identity, you will definitely not agree."
Chen Huijie seemed to remember something, shook his head, and then said, "Your Highness!"
Tallulah didn't care about it before, but now when she really heard the word "sister" from Chen Huijie's mouth again, the indescribable emotion flowed out of Tallulah's heart.
But obviously, now is not the time for Tallulah to care about her inner feelings.
On the contrary, because of Chen Huijie's previous look, Tallulah's inner uneasiness became even heavier.
"Your Highness, let's go over there together. If the man in silver armor notices us, don't worry about me or anything else. Just focus on escaping into the city. Our car is not far away. You must drive to the Swire Group. The person in charge of the Swire Group in Longmen is called Tribex Swire. Once you find her and explain your purpose, she will immediately prepare a flight for you to the Duke of Wellington."
"..."
At this moment, Tallulah finally understood what was the emotion in Chen Huijie's eyes that made her feel uncomfortable?
It was a sacrificial decision. In order to protect something more important, she would sacrifice her life without hesitation.
But it wasn't right. Why had things turned out this way? What had happened? Why did it feel like the world suddenly transformed into something I couldn't comprehend, just by opening and closing my eyes?
Was he attacked? Was he just dreaming in a coma?
Tallulah hugged her arms feeling a little uneasy, but then she discovered something that shocked her even more.
She touched her right arm, up and down, left and right, but no matter which direction she moved or which technique she used, she could not find the small stone that used to cause her pain every night.
The Originium crystals are gone?
how come?
Am I really dreaming?
"Your Highness!!"
At this moment, Chen Huijie shouted loudly, bringing Talula back to her senses.
"Your Highness! Something has been wrong with you since the beginning. What are you thinking? Now is not the time to hesitate. The situation is urgent. No matter what, for the continuation of the Victoria Red Dragon Kingdom, or for your ideal of equality for all, at least to prevent your parents from being sad, you must immediately make leaving here your top priority!"
Mom and Dad!
Those four words, like the heaviest hammer and the sharpest spike, shattered Tallulah's last bit of defense and pierced her last bit of confusion.
Mom and Dad, those words are so distant to me.
For Tarola, her memory of her father was completely blank, and her mother always looked haggard and sad. Even in the next ten years, under the pressure of the old black worm, her memory of her mother became increasingly vague.
But up to this point, she didn't expect that Chen Huijie in front of her would say the words "Mom and Dad" to her again.
Mom and Dad, could it be that right now, here, in this place where I have no idea what’s going on, my parents are still alive?
Even though she knew that this was extremely unreasonable and conflicted with her own memories to the point of 100% or even 90% conflict, a glimmer of hope still arose in Tallulah's heart.
Which child has not longed for a reunion home, especially for those children whose parents are not both alive.
But this hope for something that has never been met is obviously not as important as what we already have.
"how about you."
Tallulah spoke immediately, and Chen Huijie in front of her showed a brief hesitation on her face.
"Of course I will follow you, Your Highness. However, I am your bodyguard. If you are in danger during the escape, then as your bodyguard, I will naturally change my priority to protecting your personal safety.
If you want to make this a topic, then I advise you to put it aside. No matter what I want to say to you or what you want to persuade me, I will not change my statement or decision.
Stubborn or stubborn, whatever you want to say, for the future of Victoria, your safety must be the highest priority, and everything else can be sacrificed as a bargaining chip."
Chen Huijie spoke in a firm tone, and the stubbornness that Tallulah was most familiar with appeared in her eyes. According to Alina and the others, she was sometimes like this too, sticking to her own opinions no matter what.
What sounds good is the attitude, which is firm and unchangeable. Stick to your own ideas and don't be easily shaken by external factors.
To put it bluntly, he is stubborn, doesn't listen to advice, insists on having his own way, and is born stubborn.
It seems that my sister is the same as me. Even though we have been separated for more than ten years, our personalities are exactly the same to some extent.
"It's really exactly the same."
Tallulah muttered to herself, but Chen Huijie obviously didn't hear clearly.
But just when she was about to ask, a sudden, vicissitudes of life voice instantly brought her consciousness back to the battlefield.
“I didn’t expect to have such an unexpected gain here.”
When Chen's gaze returned to the battlefield, he saw a silver-armored warrior who had arrived in front of the alley where the two of them were.
The vicissitudes of life in that voice made Tallulah's pupils shrink slightly. She was quite familiar with this voice. He was...
"**Victoria swears**, how did we get caught so quickly? It's all because of you, sister, delaying us. Otherwise, we should have been in the car long ago!"
Chen Huijie complained, but her hands were moving quickly.
The pitch-black imitation of the Dragon-Slaying Sword was immediately unsheathed. Although it was only an imitation, the resounding dragon roar when it was unsheathed already demonstrated the extraordinary nature of this sword.
The silver-armored warrior opposite him nodded slightly at Chen Huijie's attitude of being fully prepared for the enemy, as if he was quite satisfied with his current condition.
"Yan Huijie, the current King of Victoria, Atrias I, the second daughter of Edward Atrias, is also the bodyguard of her elder sister, the Crown Princess of Victoria, Tallulah Atrias.
Yet, at the age of thirty, he has already earned international acclaim for his exceptional strength. Seeing him now, I can see he is truly a young talent, and even an old man like me feels a little ashamed of myself.”
Although it was a compliment to herself, "Chen Huijie" obviously did not let down her guard because of the other party's praise. Instead, she gripped the hilt of the sword even tighter, staring at every move of the other party with lightning-like eyes.
"Being alert is a good thing, but keeping your nerves on edge just to watch for the enemy's next move is a bit excessive."
The silver-armored warrior said this, but his eyes were fixed on Tallulah behind "Chen Huijie".
"Victoria's Crown Princess, Tallulah Atrias, holds a high reputation among the people of Victoria. She is gentle, approachable, and loves the people. She has repeatedly advised her father on national policy, proposing several policies that benefit the country's lower classes.
While its theory of equality for all and equal treatment of gods and mortals is extremely popular among the lower classes, it is frequently criticized by those incompetent nobles. I can already foresee the immense resistance you will encounter once you take power, Little Red Dragon.
The words of the silver-armored warrior opposite did not affect Tallulah's thoughts. When the name "Yan Huijie" was said, Tallulah's brain started working rapidly.
Yan was the surname of the Great Yan royal family, and his mother, like Wei Yanwu, was a sister of the Great Yan True Dragon.
So her mother's surname is naturally Yan, and if according to what Chen Huijie said before, her parents are still alive, then her current name is obviously inherited from her mother's surname, and she still inherited her father's surname, Atrias.
