Chapter 202 (1/2)

Rejection (2)

“Lady Marge, you don’t have to make a decision now. Please consider this offer, we can still negotiate!” frowned the emperor. They could take their time with this, the treasure had always been there anyway.

He would let the spirit girl go, but also send people to watch her. They won’t let her leave the capital unless she gave the cube up!

“Consider? There’s no need for… Hey, I almost forgot. I think I can consider, as long as you promise to let me attend granny empress dowager’s birthday ceremony. I need to be able to meet granny, and the prince and princesses. Perhaps then I would give this to granny as her birthday gift- but I’m not sure yet!” Ye Lang suddenly remembered his mission.

“...” the emperor mulled over the offer, then nodded solemnly.

It wasn’t a difficult thing to accept, it was just adding one more person to the party. And putting one more person at his table wouldn’t be a problem.

However, when Ye Lang made a request like that, he was declaring to the world that he had some secret motive!!

Sigh, you idiot! How can you be so dumb!! Coldblood Five was facepalming.

“Alright, deal. A spot will be reserved for you in two days. However, you must come alone!” the emperor agreed. Even if Ye Lang’s offer sounded sketchy, he had to agree because he wanted the object.

As for potential problems, he believed they could be dealt with later!

Wasn’t she just a girl? Even if she had three heads and six arms, what could she do, all alone in this palace?

Then again, we all know she has her motives now. She’ll be even easier to watch!

“Only one person? I have a cousin too, can she come?” begged the girl.

“...” This idiot wasn’t so dumb after all. At least he knew how to get a spot for Coldblood Seven.

Although she might not attend, at least she had a spot reserved for her!

“...Alright, you and your cousin can come!” frowned the emperor.One more person would still be manageable.

“Thank you so much, your Majesty! Can I leave now?” asked the spirit girl politely.

“Yes, you may leave!” waved the emperor, feeling a headache coming on.

“Goodbye!” the spirit girl excused herself- not before taking a few more pastries with her.

They wouldn’t mind…

“...” Everyone almost collapsed. And with the shock, Ye Lang left the tower alone. Visitors usually had two palace guards to guide them.

Ye Lang ran out of the palace. Since the emperor didn’t seem alarmed, the palace guards outside didn’t stop him. Then when the emperor came to, he decided to let Ye Lang leave just the same.

Under regular circumstances, there wouldn’t be a problem. Or at least everyone thought the path was very obvious. No one would take the wrong path- unless on purpose.

Unfortunately, Ye Lang was always the exception!
