What kind of weird button is this?

Chapter 45 You still said you didn’t lie?

"Cough cough..."

Engli's expression was a little awkward. He didn't expect that his royal sister would speak so harshly, which made him not want to pretend anymore for a moment.

And when he saw Sirius who was silent on the side, as if his mind was not on their side at all, he felt speechless again.

But that's right, the other party is just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. It is his first time to come to such a magnificent place, so he will inevitably be a little curious.

But is the other party really that simple? If it were really simple...why would his subordinate's seemingly foolproof assassination fail?

"Sister Royal, I think there is some misunderstanding between us. Can you walk around the palace with me and then take this rare opportunity to talk about old times and resolve the misunderstanding?"

"...Then please."

Nalia raised her eyebrows, glanced slightly at Hannah behind her, nodded to Sirius, and then left first with Engri.

This turn of events made Sirius feel a little speechless, but also a little happy at the same time. He actually didn't want to act with these two people here. Doing so would not do any good to change his destiny.

"Lord Sirius, please come with me. During these few days in the palace, I will protect your safety."

Hannah's face was full of seriousness, which made Sirius feel that this woman had never smiled. In a sense... she seemed to be even more dull than his imperial sister Nalia.

Or...simple.

Sirius actually liked to get along with such people, and he even hoped that Hannah could become his subordinate if possible.

The other party is strong and steady in doing things, and should not say or do things that he should not do. How different is he from his unlucky butler... If he hadn't been lucky, sooner or later he would have been tricked to death by the other person's self-impressed behavior.

The long silence may have caused Hannah to misunderstand that Sirius did not trust her, so Hannah said again with assurance:

"Lord Sirius, I can assure you that unless I fall, I will not let you be in danger alone."

"No, I believe you."

The other party clearly knew that he was a "fake", but he still insisted on calling him "Sir", which made Sirius feel a little weird.

But at this moment, he still trusts Hannah very much, at least more than Nalia, that woman.

Unless Nalia lets her backstab her...

"Where are we going now?"

"Go back to Lord Siris, let's go to your palace now. It's already late today and it's not suitable to meet Her Majesty the Queen."

"That's it..."

Sirius had not lived in the palace for long since he came here, so he did feel a little unfamiliar with the environment here.

Along the way, he followed Hannah in twists and turns. During this long journey, he was forced to say hello to a bunch of unknown people. Although from his perspective, it was obvious that these people's politeness to him was only superficial.

The second prince's residence was relatively remote, and because no one had cleaned it for a long time, there was already some dust on the bed when they entered.

The palace servants came in at the right time and started cleaning the room in an orderly manner. This scene made Sirius look a little weird. There was always a feeling that he was here as a guest instead of going home.

Anyway, he didn't understand why these basic things were not done when he knew in advance that they were coming.

But thinking of his current position, he could only shrug helplessly.

"Hannah, can I... go to the Royal Library?"

Although he knew that he had no magical talent, Sirius still wanted to try because he had a feeling that if his time travel and the plunder of luck would cause many things to change, then maybe he might not be the same as before. No magic talent.

Even Sirius suddenly had an idea that made people shiver down their backs. Could it be that my awakening ability is the button itself?

"Okay, please come with me."

Hannah nodded without any intention of asking Sirius about his intentions, as if he were a machine that could only execute orders.

Sirius sighed, not knowing whether coming to the Imperial City this time was a good thing or a bad thing...

----------

"Tell me, what do you want to say to me when you leave Sirius alone?"

"Ha ha……"

Engli had long expected that Nalia would be so straightforward. After all, the other party had no intention of "reminiscing" with him from the beginning.

"But seeing what you mean, you still can't let go of that bastard Sirius? Why... everyone is dead, and you still pretend that he is still alive?"

"..."

Nalia was not angered by such a crude provocation. She knew that neither of them could do anything extraordinary in this situation.

"Forget it, in this case I will show off my cards. I don't want our siblings to have such a secret rivalry when the Queen is about to die. This is completely unnecessary, isn't it?
  Even I don’t understand. Why do you still stand on his side when a useless loser did so many crazy things before his death?
  Or...you actually don't care about that at all. You are just trying to get some benefits from me? "

"I never wanted to argue with you."

"That……"

"But this doesn't mean that I can turn a blind eye to your frame-up of Sirius, and then allow someone like you to become the future emperor of the Xilin Empire."

"???"

Engli was stunned for a moment.

He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that such an illogical statement would come from the mouth of his imperial sister.

Yes, he is indeed a bit unscrupulous now, and the things he does are not as upright as he seems on the surface, but this does not mean that he will find ways to smear a waste.

Trying every means possible just to completely destroy a second prince who is already on the edge? What was his motivation for doing this?
  For a moment, Engli's face was a little unhappy, and this displeasure quickly turned into anger. He turned around and asked:

"Are you doubting me? Do you suspect that I fabricated the incident a month ago? And the purpose is to put your favorite good-for-nothing brother in such a position that is despised by thousands of people? Is he worthy?!"

Nalia narrowed her eyes. At this moment, Engri only gave her one impression in his eyes:
  Anxious and corrupt.

After a bad thing she had done was exposed on the spot, she became angry and wanted to use many words to whitewash the peace and cover up the despicable feeling in her heart.

"Nalia, I can promise the God of Light that I have never maliciously smeared Sirius. All his actions are true. If I intentionally lie about this...

Do you see that big tree over there? If I cheat in any way, let that tree..."

Before he could finish all this and rush over to cut off the entire trunk of the tree, he suddenly discovered that a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the already hazy sky and struck the crown of the tree.

"..."

No, why isn't his bad luck over yet? Even if it’s not over, why don’t you have an attack now? !

However, Nalia didn't care about this. She just stood aside with her arms folded, looking at Engli, who was extremely embarrassed in front of her and had no previous elegant and easy-going demeanor, in a daze with a mocking look.

"So is there anything else you want to say?"
