Chapter 582

Albert was speechless for a while. You broke into a prince's room and knocked down the prince and his maid one after another. Isn't this too much?

However, despite thinking this way, Albert did not show it and waited quietly for the next step.

"As for my identity..."

Mu En didn't say anything, leaned over slightly and handed Albert a family crest.

"This is...the dragon-slaying sword...you are from the Campbell family."

Albert's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the badge in his hand. It was small and exquisite, and it didn't look like a fake.

"That's right."

Mu En nodded.

"I see. If you are a member of the Campbell family, it is not incomprehensible for you to have secret contact with me... But how do I know if you are real?"

Albert continued to question:

"The family crest is not something absolutely trustworthy."

"It's very simple."

Mu En had already anticipated this problem and shrugged calmly:

"I showed up at the ball. You only need to do a little research and you will know that I came in with Princess Celcia."

"Celcia..."

Albert raised his eyebrows and shook his head suddenly:

"Haha, see, that girl has completely regarded herself as the future Mrs. Campbell? She is willing to help with such things, but she is not like her cold temperament..."

126. Forced

While talking to Albert, Mu En was also looking at the eldest prince carefully.

Just like the first impression of seeing him from a distance, even in such a close encounter, the eldest prince still exudes that gentle and elegant temperament that cannot be faked.

He has the same silver-white hair as Celcia, and his face is somewhat similar. However, his eyebrows and eyes do not have the sharpness of the second prince Andrew and the indifference of Celcia. Instead, he always has a smile on his lips.

Although he had been attacked by someone not long ago, there was no trace of embarrassment or anger, and the calmness in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

It was only a preliminary contact, but Mu En could conclude that, as the rumors said, this eldest prince was much better than Prince Andrew.

At least this kind of self-control and broad-mindedness are not comparable to Andrew's.

For such a eldest prince, who would have thought that not long ago, he was a "cerebral palsy" prince who was disliked by all parties?

All I can say is fate. It is indeed impermanent.

"Now, can you trust my identity?"

Mu En continued to ask:

"If you still don't believe it, I can provide other evidence, but it may take a while to prove it, but I don't have time to stay here for long."

"No, I already believe it."

Albert smiled and returned the family crest to Mu En:

"If you still don't believe it, then I don't trust my sister too much. Although we have very little communication, the blood flowing in our bodies is the same after all."

"Thank you for your trust."

Mu En took the family badge and responded with the same smile.

After he finished speaking, he conjured two tea cups on the table like a magic trick, and the aroma was fragrant.

"Drink?"

Mu En extended her hand to invite.

Albert's eyes flickered for a while, but without too much hesitation, he smiled and took the initiative to sit at the table:

"Of course, I happen to be thirsty."

"You don't mind if I use your tea leaves."

"I don't mind, haha, isn't tea just for drinking?"

Albert took the cup of black tea, his eyes fell on the cup in front of Mu En, and he was suddenly stunned.

Because the thing in front of Mu En was not tea, but coffee.

"What are you..."

"Ah, sorry, I don't drink black tea. This is the coffee I brought myself."

Mu En shook the cup at Albert and took a small sip, looking extremely comfortable.

Albert stared at Mu En's beautiful face for a while, then suddenly smiled and tasted it elegantly.

At this point, the two people, who had obviously just met for the first time and even had a little "accident", seemed to have taken off all their guard and sat together like old friends, talking to each other.

"I believe that His Highness the First Prince should know the meaning of my coming to see you this time." Mu En said.

"The meaning, forgive me for being stupid, I really don't know the meaning of your coming to see me."

Albert shook his head:

"As you can see, I am just a powerless prince who doesn't even have many personal guards of his own. Do I have any reason why you should come to see me despite all the hardships?"

"Having no power or power? I'm afraid this can only be deceived by children. Isn't your identity your greatest power?"

Mu En chuckled: "It's not good to pretend to be stupid, Your Highness."

"Identity is sometimes a burden. Don't you know this when you are staying with Celcia?"

"Haha, indeed."

Mu En put down her coffee, glanced at the maid who had not yet woken up, then lowered her body slightly and stared into Albert's eyes:

"Then...since there is no one else here anyway, I'll just ask..." Mu En's voice was low: "Your Highness Albert, do you have any ideas about that position?"

"Location?"

"The position I'm talking about is a position in this country that is worthy of you, the eldest prince, fighting for. Is there any other position?"

The coffee cup was pushed in front of Albert.

The cup went from one to two.

But both of them knew very well that it was not the table or the tea tray, but the highest position in the empire, the throne, which could only hold... that one.

The throne is huge, so big that you can overlook the entire empire.

But the throne is also very small, so small that it can only fit a person's butt.

"..."

Wordless silence.

In this kind of room, it should be an extremely embarrassing thing for a lonely man and a widowed woman to look at each other, but Mu En still stared into Albert's eyes, not allowing him to avoid the slightest... or lie.

This question may be the most important question that countless people want to know about the empire at this moment and Belland at this moment.

So whether this was a first test or not, Mu En wanted to hear the prince's true answer directly.

"Oh, I'm very upset that you asked me such a troublesome question in the first place." Albert sighed helplessly.

"A beautiful girl who is aggressive is not loved by others."

"I'm sorry, but I have to ask." Mu En said apologetically.

Besides, I'm not a pretty girl either.

"..."

Albert was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about something.

Mu En did not bother him in any way. Even though time was tight, he was extremely patient at the moment.

I don’t know how long it took, but the melodious sound of bells came from the distance, announcing the arrival of midnight.

Albert sighed again and said:

"Actually, it's not what you think. It doesn't matter whether I think about it or not?"

"it is not important?"

Mu En frowned, very puzzled.

"Yes, the storm in Belland at the moment is indeed caused by my two brothers, but is it really just because of us?"

Albert looked at Mu En and said meaningfully:

"You should be very aware of the fact that you are backed by a behemoth like the Campbell family."

"..."

Mu En lowered her eyelids and stared at the ripples in the cup.

Albert is right. The two princes are indeed the source of the storm, but the reason why this storm is so violent is because there are countless people and interest groups who fan the flames and add fuel to the fire. In an attempt to protect interests, gain power, or eliminate opponents.

The balance and rules that the empire had maintained for decades were finally loosened at this moment. How could all parties control their inner desires at this time?

The royal faction, the aristocratic faction, the Li Council... and even the Campbell family are not immune to this.

"Your Highness is indeed right. Today's situation does involve a lot, but no matter what, your attitude and choices can still determine the direction of this storm, right?"

"No, you said it wrong."

Albert rarely gave a strong rebuttal:

"I can't decide anything."

"What's the meaning……"

"It's very simple."

Albert drank all the tea in his cup, then placed it next to Mu En's coffee again, and the two touched lightly.

He knocked the empty glass and said:

"Do you think...even if I give up on my own initiative, my brother will let me go like this?"

"..." Mu En took a breath.

can you?

can you?

Thinking back to Prince Andrew in his mind, Mu En began to think about what kind of direction that prince's character would lead.

Then, no matter how you imagine it, all directions are...

"The answer is, no, you didn't refute. I think you should also know what kind of person my brother is. Andrew will never let me go. After all... he is not the eldest prince, and he will never be. This is his biggest weakness."

"..."

Albert turned his head and looked at the delicate face of the maid named Lawini, and smiled in a self-deprecating tone:

"Look, everything is as I said, I had no choice. From the moment my head regained consciousness, I have been completely involved in this vortex. I can only move forward, not backward, and there is no possibility of escape. ”

127. Choice

Mu En looked at the eldest prince, as if he could really see the uncountable heaviness beneath his peaceful appearance.

Yes, as Celcia said, status brings not only power and honor, but also the corresponding pressure, responsibility, and inability to control oneself.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, but the eldest prince does not even have the right to refuse the crown. After he wakes up and once again has the first inheritance law for that position, neither his enemies nor his friends will. He would be allowed to take another step back.

"So, Your Highness still has to choose to fight?"

"We have to fight."

"But His Highness doesn't look like he wants to fight. It's been a while since you recovered from your brain disease, but at this critical juncture, you have been wasting your greatest advantage and have not taken any action so far."

Mu En knocked on the table: "This is not what a smart person would do."

"I know that I woke up too late. Time is the most important thing to me, but... I didn't lie about this."

Albert picked up the silver cane he usually used, stood up with support, and walked two steps with difficulty.
