Chapter 4093 Is Master really not going to come home tonight?
Li Long did not meet Emperor Prussia.
However, the person is already in the royal court... in the office of King Atesleuja.
"Father, I don't understand, why are you stopping me?" Li Long, his face still pale, asked incredulously.
He had considered the possibility of being harassed, or even that the Empress [Feng Hua] might secretly stop him, but he never expected that it would be King [Atesliya] who would stop him.
“Take a look at this.” King Atesliya calmly handed a document to Li Long—his most outstanding son.
Li Long frowned, took the document, and examined it carefully. "This is... a destruction order from [Jekiro]? When did this happen?!"
King Atesliya said calmly, "This was sent a few days ago, so your accusation that Li Guo took [Jekro] away privately will not stand. She had already obtained permission before doing this."
Li Long put down the document and said in a deep voice, "Father, does the Emperor... really know about this?"
[Ateslia] Wang said softly, "You know, the emperor's health has always been poor, and he is not awake for long periods each day."
Li Long remained silent.
It was precisely because Emperor Prus's health was so poor that even the empire's best medical resources could not reverse the situation that this handover between the old and new emperors took place.
"Even with the order to destroy it, it's not a reason for Li Guo to act so recklessly!" [Li Long] said in a deep voice, "Is this destruction? This is putting the imperial family in danger! This time, [Jekiro] was ultimately taken away by an unknown person!"
"It was taken from you by an immortal powerhouse of unknown origin," King Atesliya said calmly. "Remember, it was taken from you."
"I don't understand!" [Li Long] was truly furious this time.
[Ateslia] Wang couldn't help but sigh, "You're still too young. Don't you understand? Why did Li Guo choose today to hold this game? It just so happens to be the day you went to watch the [White Wolf Dragon] ball game?"
"She did it on purpose!"
King Atesliya nodded, saying with a hint of helplessness, "[Jekro] has become increasingly dangerous over the years, often going out of control. The Royal Family Association has lost patience with it and has decided to destroy it... Don't worry about how the Royal Family Association approved this. I only know that this was a plan secretly proposed by Li Guo, intending to use [Jekro] to achieve some purpose."
"What's the purpose?" [Li Long] frowned.
“I don’t know the specifics.” King Atesliya shook his head. “I suspect it’s mostly related to the Fourth Princess Phyllis, or it could be related to you, or both. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen today.”
Li Long instantly calmed down, "Something's wrong with the people around me."
"Find the person who leaked your whereabouts as soon as possible," King Atesliya said slowly. "The power of the empire is about to be transferred, and this is a very sensitive point. We cannot afford to make any mistakes."
[Li Long] thought for a moment, and he had completely calmed down. "Father, what do you think?"
King Atesliya glanced at Li Long indifferently, "You must remember, Prince Mao is the rightful heir."
"Does Aunt Lucia know about this?" [Li Long] asked abruptly.
[Ateslia] King was silent for a long time before saying softly, "As for Lucia, don't trust her too much, but there's no need to be hostile towards her either. As long as she doesn't do anything that crosses the line, you should still respect her."
Li Long nodded silently. If possible, he would naturally not want to stand on the opposite side of the Princess.
"How badly are you injured this time?"
Li Long sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be able to operate the God-Slaying Armor for a while... Also, Grado is injured and asleep."
King Atesliya revealed a hint of solemnity, "Is that unknown immortal powerhouse truly so powerful?"
“Very strong!” [Li Long] said solemnly. “The energy level exceeds 90 billion, which is definitely the top-tier [Radiant Moon] Immortal… When I came here, I checked the [Pale Goddess]’s monitoring system, but it was just a blur! I don’t know yet whether the other party has the ability to distort phenomena, or whether the [Pale Goddess] has been secretly tampered with.”
King Ateslia said slowly, "There aren't many people who have the authority to modify the Pale Goddess."
"Only the Emperor, and then..." [Li Long] said in a deep voice, "And then, Empress [Feng Hua]!"
[Atesleia] King tapped the table lightly; he was in a very passive position in this incident.
This was a subtle gesture King Atesliya made while he was thinking, and Li Long did not disturb him, but waited quietly.
"You need to restore the power of the royal crest as soon as possible." King Atesliya seemed to have an answer. "In any case, the evolution of Divine Might cannot be interrupted. Over the years, very few of the first-generation Divine Destroyer Armor have been able to evolve again. Only when Divine Might completes this evolution will your future possibly reach the heights of King Klub."
“I understand.” [Li Long] nodded. “Therefore, even in the end, when facing death, I did not summon [Shenwu]… At that time, I did have the urge to summon it.”
“You did very well.” King Atesliya nodded with satisfaction. “I have one more chance to enter the ancestral land. Prepare yourself, enter the ancestral land, restore the power of the royal emblem, and perhaps… you can allow the emblem to evolve again.”
"Father?" [Li Long] looked shocked. "This is your last..."
“My potential has been exhausted.” King Atesliya shook his head. “But you still have a future. Go, don’t waste this opportunity.”
Li Long nodded. This was not the time for sentimentality. He asked about something else. "Father, when the Forbidden Species appeared, I mobilized the Royal Knights, but the Grand Master forbade their deployment, citing the need for the Knights to guard the Royal Court... Was this your intention?"
"He... he was indeed only protecting the royal court." King Atesliya waved his hand. "There's no need to doubt him, but there's also no need to have high expectations of him. Go now, I have official business to attend to. Also, thoroughly investigate the people around you."
After Li Long left, King Atesliuya pondered for a moment before connecting to the communicator.
They were contacting the two Royal Knights he had dispatched.
One is Hero Yul, the Black Reaper.
Hiro Yul has already left [Ether Star] and will be able to return by the day after tomorrow at the latest, bringing with him the wild boy who awakened the royal crest.
The other was Slateta Mercury, another member of the Order who went to replace Hiro Yul.
According to Slateta Mercury's feedback, Raphael will also soon set off for the ancestral planet, Marindo.
Raphael's sudden return added some instability to the change of imperial power, and the young man [Wild] made the already turbulent coronation ceremony even more unpredictable.
"Could this boy really be a contingency plan left behind by King Kleub?"
He tapped his fingers lightly, this time for a long time... After a long while, King Atesliya took out a communicator with a strange golden pattern on it.
connect.
"Isn't this the esteemed King Ateslius? May I ask what business you have with me?"
—What an incredibly fake smile…
King Ateslia thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy something from you, Mr. Fukuzo..."
……

Long Xiruo and Li Huamei returned to the hotel in the evening.
They actually deliberately took a detour before returning... When they arrived at the hotel, the maid and [Xia Ji] were already there.
But Boss Luo and Bai Zhi were nowhere to be seen.
Long Xiruo was naturally very curious, but there was only one black-hearted maid and another maid named Xia Ji who only listened to the black-hearted maid, so she refrained from asking and rolled her eyes before pulling Li Huamei into the room.
With Boss Luo not here, the heartless maid isn't even putting on an act—we might as well not serve dinner tonight!
As for Shaq, who was not allowed to be on the table at all, no one paid any attention to him, only saying that he was hiding in his room cultivating.
"Then, I'll take them into the [God's World] first."
【Xia Ji】, holding two cubs of 【White Wolf Dragon】, spoke respectfully.
“Go ahead.” The maid nodded.
The cubs she and [Xia Ji] raised were successfully completed before the park closed.
The way the maid was trained was clearly different from how Boss Luo trained her.
One is probably kept as a pet, while the other is built as a tool.
The maid trains the [White Wolf Dragon] only so that she can better serve Boss Luo.
"So……"
The maid sat quietly in the chair.
"It's about time for the [science side] to act as an agent..."
……
……
……
……
The Empire, [Marindo]... [Anle] Princess's Palace.
Its scale was comparable to that of the Princess's Mansion in the Empire, and even more magnificent.
Imperial families who establish their own residences do not need to live in the royal court.
"What? No need for a welcome? Why is that?"
The steward of Princess Anle's residence said calmly, "This is His Highness's order. Lord Leonardo, please wait patiently. If His Highness summons you, I will inform you immediately."
Leonardo is the longest-serving member of the male attendants—not that he has always been there, but that he is the one who has stayed by Princess Anle's side the longest among all the male attendants.
At least for now, Princess Anle is still "favoring" Leonardo, so the butler won't offend him.
"I heard that Your Highness encountered danger today." A look of worry appeared on Leonardo's handsome face. "As the commander of Your Highness's personal guard, I have the duty to protect Your Highness. Where is Your Highness? I will go to see her. She will not refuse to see me."
“Lord Leonardo, please don’t put me in a difficult position.” The butler shook his head, then hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering that Leonardo did indeed have a significant relationship with Princess Anle. “His Highness is already at the Star Palace.”
Leonardo frowned, a hint of anger rising within him, but he couldn't show it.
He knew about the Starry Sky Palace... Every member of the male attendant group was well aware of its existence.
That was Princess Anle Li Guo's most private place, or rather, her private study. She never allowed any male servants to enter.
"If His Highness summons you, please inform him immediately."
Leonardo didn't intend to get entangled with the butler at this moment. The butler had been following Anle ever since the establishment of the mansion... Although he was called a butler, he was actually a member of the royal family and a big figure in the royal court.
"Take care, Your Excellency Leonard."
The butler smiled as she saw them off, but then her smile faded as she headed towards the Starry Sky Palace... A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
The Starry Sky Palace is indeed His Highness's private space, and there has never been a precedent of bringing male servants in—but today, that precedent has been broken.
Or perhaps, the Starry Sky Palace doesn't actually have a rule against male servants entering; it's just that no male servant has ever appeared that His Highness would approve of his entry into the Starry Sky Palace?
The steward, Algabi, had been Li Guo's steward since she was still living in the royal court. She was arguably the oldest person by Li Guo's side and knew her personality very well.
She even considered it unusual that Li Guo brought a man into the Starry Sky Palace today.
"His Highness seems to be intentionally distancing himself from the male attendants..."
"I hope Leonardo doesn't do anything foolish..."
Leonardo's identity is not simple. He is one of the imperial chancellors, a member of the Papillon family, and a cousin of Messiah, who is close to Princess Anle.
The Lord of Babylon sent Leonardo here as a link between the former Empress's family and the Queen... originally intended to establish a marriage relationship.
However, Princess Anle made Leonardo her male servant.
This was supposed to be a humiliation.
But Leonardo readily accepted this identity... perhaps because of his confidence, believing that he would eventually become Li's fiancé.
He was indeed very talented, and step by step became the head of the male attendants' corps, and also the commander of the army of Princess Anle's mansion.
"Lord Algabi!"
"Where is His Highness?" Algabi frowned. The maids were all standing outside the Star Palace, which meant that no one was serving him inside.
The maids exchanged bewildered glances. The head maid could only manage a wry smile. "His Highness said we should wait outside. She's going to have dinner with that new gentleman..."
Al-Gaibi frowned. "Is there anything else you need?"
The head maid quickly replied, "No, that's all."
“In that case, you can wait here.” Al-Ghabi nodded.
"Yes……"
This is abnormal, really abnormal, even an anomaly... Algabi looked at the brightly lit Star Palace in front of him, then turned away thoughtfully.
……
Inside the Starry Sky Palace.
"This is a nutrient solution developed by the Imperial Research Institute specifically for the [White Wolf Dragon]."
Li Guo slowly opened a box, her beautiful eyes looking at Boss Luo.
"Your [Forbidden Species] should not eat the inferior food from the incubation base."
Upon hearing this, as if understanding the meaning, [Reshiram] quickly spread its wings towards Li Guo, as if to say: Rich lady, I'm hungry...
Boss Luo gave Li Guo a smile, then took out a nutrient solution and began feeding [Reshiram].
Even without speaking, Li Guo sat quietly to the side, resting her chin on her hand, watching... a very relaxed moment.
……
"What's so good about that? I don't even know if it will give me diarrhea! Baby, eat mine, it's delicious!"
Bai Zhi squatted in the corner, holding the nutrient solution she had taken from the hatchery, ready to feed her cubs.
But the cub seemed to have caught a whiff of the expensive nutrient solution in front of it, and struggled out of Xiao Baizhi's arms, babbling as it tried to crawl over.
"You unfilial son!!"
Suddenly, Li Guo waved his hand, and another box containing nutrients slowly flew over. Under the control of his mental power, the box opened as well, and one nutrient was sent out and delivered directly to the cub.
The cub was overjoyed on the spot.
Bai Zhi puffed up her cheeks instantly, feeling humiliated.
—I'm so annoyed!
Why isn't the master leaving yet? Are they really going to stay here overnight?
