You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

The current emperor, Rodel Lorsa, is one of the most enlightened rulers in the entire history of the Odrecia Empire.

Although various forms of inequality still occur throughout the empire, they are now much less prevalent.

Ordinary people can not only survive, but live well. Even the most powerful and unscrupulous nobles would never dare to do anything too outrageous in public.

Of course, more importantly, as emperor, Rodel is also an extraordinary being who stands at the pinnacle of the world's strongest. His current strength is unfathomable, and no one knows what level he has reached.

However, the power of the Abyss God is difficult to defend against, and several Demon Kings from the Demon Clan are also watching the human world. Once Rodel falls into weakness, the front-line battlefield may undergo drastic changes.

After all, without the restraint of high-end combat power, the opponent's top combat power can act without any scruples.

Ruby already felt a heavy burden on her shoulders just from monitoring the military camp. Even when she was keeping a close watch for a long time, she dared not relax for a moment, for fear of missing any detail.

If she's in this state, then the situation is even worse for Shiloh, who is in charge of the entire plan.

After giving herself to Shiloh, Ruby inquired more about his past in greater detail and learned about his deeds in saving Clorenza and Maple Leaf Territory.

Of course, it seems that Shiro also has to save a city, but for some reason, the relevant information is always inexplicably vague, as if the information has been erased by some entity.

Moonlight filtered through layers of leaves, illuminating the young boy and girl, as if they were the only two people left in this world, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Ruby's violet eyes were even gentler than the moonlight, as she tirelessly stroked Xiluo's face again and again, as if trying to imprint that face in her mind.

Although he's usually quite frivolous, he's also...

In short, he looks like a lustful, fake, refined aristocrat.

But in reality, judging from what he did, he really is a great hero.

Ruby thought to herself, and then felt a little pleased.

The great hero lying on Ruby's lap right now is Ruby's lover.

The girl's legs, which were hanging over the tree branch, swayed gently, her cautiousness as she didn't want to disturb her lover's sleep, subtly revealing her joyful mood.

Ok?

Just as Ruby was immersed in her sweet mood, the shadow servant's reaction made her expression turn serious.

“Sillo, wake up.”

Ruby's soft call woke Shiloh from his nap. He quickly sat up and asked in a low voice, "Something's wrong?"

"Ah."

Ruby nodded, pointed inside the military camp, and said, "The Shadow Servant reacted just now; it seems someone went in."

"Huh? At this time?"

Shiloh and Ruby exchanged a glance, then nodded affirmatively.

has a problem!

There are prohibitions in the military camp. After a certain period of time, no one can go out anymore. When those who have gone out to perform missions return, they need to report normally.

Ruby sensed an extremely subtle aura passing by; such an unconventional fellow was definitely not a good person.

"So, do you want to go in?"

Ruby tugged at Silo's sleeve and asked.

Xi Luo shook his head and said, "We need to find a suitable reason to go in openly and legitimately. Now is not the time."

Once they learned that there was indeed a problem with the military camp, or that someone was watching the camp, the purpose of this surveillance was achieved.

"By the way, do you have time in a couple of days?"

"Hmm? Yes, yes, if I don't take on any missions, nothing much happens..."

Upon hearing this, Ruby's eyes flickered slightly, and she awkwardly smoothed her hair.

Could it be... a date?

Although Ruby felt it was somewhat impossible at this moment, what if it was?

"That's good. In a couple of days, Her Highness the Crown Princess's birthday banquet will be held outside the palace. Many prominent figures will likely be invited. Your adventurer team should be among those invited. I'll need your help then..."

Ruby was stunned for a moment, then nodded, pointed to herself, and said, "Uh, can I ask why me?"

Silo thought for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, "To confirm one of my conjectures... of course, this is only an uncertain aspect. Also, your stealth is very strong, and your rank is just right, making you very suitable for this task. And, I want you to receive this merit."

Ruby wasn't stupid; she understood what Shiloh's last reason meant.

Her identity is rather special. As a member of Aaron's team, even if she leaves, there might still be some resentment in the hearts of the Shiloh family.

However, having this achievement would prove his close relationship with Shiloh and gain his family's approval.

Chapter 186 A Different Zeno (Part 2)

Ruby swung her leg, remained silent for a moment, then raised her head and bit Silo's neck, leaving a tooth mark.

"Hmph... Besides wanting your uncle and aunt to approve of me, do you have any other thoughts?"

Ruby looked up at Xiluo, her purplish eyes shimmering in the moonlight, a hint of resentment in them.

Sylvie scratched her face. It was clear that Ruby had done her homework on her information, so she could only nod honestly: "Well, although the marriage is still far from being finalized, it's definitely not a bad thing to boost the royal family's favorability."

Ruby understood this, but the problem was that if the marriage partner was royalty, Shiloh's influence at home would definitely be less, right?

What if the royal woman can't stand him having so many women?

Having realized Shiloh's true nature, Ruby didn't want to keep things to herself in front of him, so she asked him directly.

Xi Luo rubbed his chin and said, "Well, probably not. If it has to be a marriage alliance, she shouldn't care about my women."

"Oh?"

Ruby became interested, tugged at Xiluo's sleeve, and asked curiously, "I heard that the Second Princess has already married, which leaves the Third Princess and the First Princess. Which one do you plan to marry?"

"If there are no unexpected circumstances... it should be the eldest princess."

"What about the Third Princess?"

"We had a conflict, the kind that's hard to resolve."

"Oh……"

Ruby wisely refrained from asking further questions. Although Shiloh was ruthless and decisive when dealing with enemies, he was genuinely gentle with his own people (except when doing certain things).

For Xiluo to say something like that, the Third Princess must have done something extremely outrageous.

Seeing Ruby deep in thought in his arms, Xi Luo smiled slightly, ruffled her hair, and said, "Don't worry so much. You know I can't give up anyone I love."

The sudden, ambiguous confession made Ruby blush. On one hand, being called "lover" made her feel a little itchy, but on the other hand, the fact that this title of "lover" did not belong exclusively to her made her feel sour.

"Hmph~ You've got quite a big heart, able to hold so many people."

Ruby hummed, expressing her sourness.

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo hugged her tightly, leaned close to her ear, and teased her with a smile, "You know me, I'm not only carefree, I'm also..."

呲——

Steam Princess's voice rang out, and Ruby's little head, steaming, propped herself up from Shiloh's arms in embarrassment and annoyance, saying coquettishly, "You, you're saying dirty things again!!"

Silo shrugged nonchalantly, saying innocently, "I'm just stating an objective fact, aren't I?"

"you--"

Ruby hesitated for a moment, but to be fair, what Shiloh said was indeed true. After all, she had experienced it herself, and it was indeed... outrageous.

But even if you lose, you can't lose face. Even if you can't win, you still have to maintain your momentum!

"Ha, if you've got the guts, then put on a show! All talk and no action is useless. Wait a minute, you pervert! First, let's go home..."

Sigh, let's test it.

Once the surveillance mission is accomplished, the shadow servants can remain in place.

That evening, after giving Ruby a thorough check-up, Shiloh cleaned up her body, covered her with a blanket, and returned to his small villa.

Before they knew it, it was Zeno's birthday party, and the guests were the Wells family.

Having spent quite some time with Shiloh, Elena and the others could sense that something was amiss and understood that tonight's birthday banquet for the Great Queen might not be as normal as it seemed on the surface. So they stayed home and continued their regular training.

Although Aria has eloped, she has not been officially cut off from the family and is still the eldest daughter of the Wayne family.

So she still has to go on this occasion.

"Well... I'll go home first?"

Arya opened her arms and hugged Shiloh, then paused, stunned, after saying those words.

"Yes, please give my regards to your parents."

With a light laugh, Shiloh saw Arya off into the carriage, watching her depart in the distance, unconsciously rubbing his fingertips together.

Tonight can be considered another instance of his interference with fate.

According to the original destiny, what should have happened was a major event that directly affected the entire Odrecia Empire.

Therefore, fate plays a very important role in this, and it may not be so easy to change or interfere with it.

Before the plan began, Shiloh had considered countless "what ifs" in his mind. Even he worried about the unpredictable consequences if he failed to change his fate.

But this worry was quickly dispelled.

When faced with a major event, a firm decision must be made.

No matter what the future holds, all we need to do now is firmly believe that there is absolutely no future where we will fail.

Having done everything that needed to be done, it was time for the grand show to begin.

"Father, Mother, Sister, let's go."

On the carriage to a top-tier venue in the capital that hosts banquets for celebrities and nobles, Fulin and Seme closed their eyes to rest and adjust themselves to their peak condition.

As members of the Wells family, they naturally participated in tonight's plans.

But beyond tonight's plans, they had a deeper worry: their concern for Shilo.

Having the ability to foresee fate sounds incredibly impressive, but in reality, no one knows what the side effects of having such an ability might be.

Despite their deep concern, the Wells couple, trusting their son, did not voice their worries but instead did everything they could to help Shiloh.

On the other side, Shiloh and Anya held hands tightly from the moment they got into the car, their palms even becoming sticky with sweat, but they didn't let go.

After the carriage arrived, Anya finally let go of her hand, her icy blue eyes filled with a solemn, icy expression.

Seeing this, Xiluo reached out and squeezed Anya's smooth shoulder, and said softly, "Sister, relax, everything is going according to plan."

Upon hearing this, Anya's breath caught in her throat. She nodded, took a few deep breaths to suppress the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and gradually regained her normal complexion.

I failed to protect him properly last time, but this time, I must do it no matter what...

Anya silently strengthened her belief in her heart.

After alighting from the carriage, the waiters who had been waiting at the door immediately came forward and respectfully invited the Wells family into the hall.

Upon entering the hall, the celebrities and nobles who had been chatting amongst themselves simultaneously stopped talking and turned their gazes toward Silo and his companions.

When the once-fallen heir of the Wells family returned, he did many shocking things in a way that no one could understand.

The news about Cecilia had already spread throughout the capital within two days.

Not to mention that after Cecilia advanced to the [Erosion Realm] level, a group of brainless spoiled brats rushed up to offend her eyes.

No one could understand why Shiro would cripple so many noble children in public.

It was only because of Shiloh's special status and the well-founded reason that...

However, Xi Luo's current style of doing things has indeed intimidated some people in the capital. After realizing that he is no longer the gentle person he used to be, there has been much less criticism of Xi Luo.

"Yo~ Shiloh—cough cough, Uncle Flint, Aunt Serme, and Anya, you've finally arrived."

A cheerful and excited greeting rang out, causing Shiloh to look to his right.

When he saw Zeno, Shiloh slowly opened his eyes wide, and his mouth agape in a daze.

Her smooth, flowing snow-white hair swayed gently with the crisp sound of her high heels on the ground. Her sharp, golden eyes had a touch of softness to them today, and the crimson on her delicate lips, which should have been the first time in Xi Luo's memory, added a breathtakingly charming touch to her heroic and dashing look.

"What are you looking at?"

After greeting the Wells family, Zeno flicked his snowy hair behind him, raised an eyebrow at the dazed Shilo, and asked.

Hearing Zeno's question, Xiluo gasped, quickly scanning the other person up and down several times, staring at the dark red dress she was wearing, and scratched her head, saying, "No, you—sigh, you…"

For a moment, Shiloh seemed to have lost his ability to organize his thoughts, staring at Zeno in disbelief several times, unsure of what to say.
