Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 769: Link

After turning off the communication, under the bedroom lights, the smile on Capulo's face slowly disappeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Your wounds have long been healed. Why did you hide it from General Russen?"

Standing in the corner of the room was a figure that could vaguely be seen from the shadows. The fantastic curves and hoarse voice were enough to make a man's heart beat faster. Capullo's heartbeat was normal. He chuckled, "As my exclusive nurse, you're probably the only one who knows about this, Pepe."

"This subordinate is terrified."

'"There's no need for you to be afraid. I'm sure you won't leak it. As for Russen, we're good friends. But time has changed us. I'm no longer Capulo from twenty years ago, and Russen is no longer the hot-blooded youth he was." Capullo closed his eyes and said, "Russen is now considered the leader of the four generals of the Federation. Personally, I think his strength may have long been comparable to Windsor Belo's. I am very clear about his potential. It is impossible to say that he has not made any progress in the past ten years."

"Then why did the general conceal his strength? If he passes the Federation's evaluation, he will be the third Marshal." The figure in the shadows took a step forward. It was a woman wearing a military uniform. She coiled her dark green hair and looked dignified with a pair of flat glasses. Under the slender neck, the plump two peaks were about to break free from the restraints of their military uniforms. The buttons on their chests were barely tightened, and they could collapse at any time.

"He has always been a low-end, efficient and pragmatic person. Identity power is not the first priority for him, but even so, he is still a general. It is no longer a low-key word to explain." Capulo said softly, "There are a lot of malicious-looking people in the Federation, but no one knows Russen's true level. That's not keeping a low profile, but intentionally concealing it. As for why he concealed it, even I don't know."

"I only know that there are many pairs of eyes staring at me now. They are all watching to see if my lion is as strong as before. The current situation is no longer as strong as it was twenty years ago. I don't want to be noticed by too many people. I might as well borrow Russen's words to let the outside world guess."

"Do you think General Russen will leak it out?"

"I don't know, but I have to take precautions. Do you know why I was defeated before I met that Paragon?" Capulo smiled and said, "That's because I only believe in myself, so my enemies will never get the right information. In the end, I was defeated by that Paragon, not because of a strategic failure, but because the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, not because of war crimes."

"You are the most charming man I have ever met." Pepe's eyes glowed with flames, but her face was still dignified. Such a huge contrast made the man only want to possess her.

"Pepe, you're getting more and more talkative." Capulo smiled and stood up. Without seeing how he moved, the nightgown on his body slipped down, revealing his already relaxed body. But when he slowly inhaled, his muscles began to wriggle. They shrank and gathered together. A moment later, Capulo was no longer the old man who was on the verge of death.

Every muscle on his body was filled with explosive power, outlining lines that were far more beautiful than those of a young man, the ultimate manifestation of masculinity. Pepe's chest rose and fell, and even her breathing became three points heavier. Capulo waved to her, "Come here."

Pepe walked over and stood in front of Capullo. She was also considered tall among women, but she only came to Capulet's chest. Capulo removed her coil and allowed her hair to hang down. Suddenly, he held Pepe's chest with both of his hands and rubbed it for a while, causing wisps of hot smoke to spurt out of Pepe's nostrils. Capulo tore his jacket apart. The two unrestrained peaks immediately jumped into the air, and there was actually a vacuum inside. The two plum blossom red spots were trembling endlessly, causing Capulet to react.

He smiled with satisfaction and pressed his hands on Pepe's shoulders. The woman knelt down obediently. She raised her glasses and opened her mouth. Between the two red lips, a few sparkling threads made Capulet excited. He held Pepe's head with one hand and straightened his waist. A moment later, Pepe's breathing sounded in the bedroom, as well as Capulet's faint roars.

Under the illumination of the lights, the two figures on the wall were constantly changing their postures, gradually merging into one.

"Your Highness."

It was early in the morning when Lucy received a communication request. Looking at the flickering platinum crown icon, the young girl hesitated for a moment before reaching out and clicking on it. Two flashes later, Metalon's figure appeared on the screen. Lucy breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Metalon. The last member of the royal family she wanted to see was her father, the supreme emperor.

Metalloon wore a long black gold-trimmed robe. The two rows of robes had a row of golden buttons tied together in thin golden chains. Inside was a red velvet lining, with a black belt tied to his waist and a golden crown emblem tied to it. His lower body was covered in a pair of gray trousers, and his trousers were tied into a pair of black boots. There was a silver ring on each side of the boots, surrounded by four golden leaves.

Golden ribbons hung down on both sides of the epaulette, giving off a magnificent and dignified look.

This was Adahua Planet's most orthodox marquis attire, changing into this outfit meant that Metata wanted to appear on certain occasions as a member of the royal family.

"Teacher," said Lucy, surprised, "who are you?"

"Your Highness, we will visit the Blood Gate Stronghold in three days. I hope that you will not leave the stronghold for a short period of time, so that no one will be left empty." Metalloon smiled. The old marquis cared for Lucy very much. Although she was a teacher, she treated her like her granddaughter.

Lucy frowned. "Everyone? Who else but the teacher?"

"Also, Xia Gelin, she hasn't seen you for a long time, so she's really worried about you, so she'll go with you this time."

"Will Teacher Shaglin also come?" Lucy's face was filled with joy. As the Empress, Lucy had many teachers. Among them, Metallon taught her combat skills, while Shakelene was in charge of her knowledge of art and history. However, Lucy had no talent for prophecy, so Sharon's best prophecy was not taught to her.

"But can Teacher Shaglin walk away?"

Metalon nodded and said, "With Sharon's help, we've been able to defeat our enemies several times lately. There should be no battles in Silverwind Continent for a short period of time, and Archduke Pade wants her to take advantage of this opportunity to rest. You know, using the prophecy ability for a long time is not a small burden for her."

Lucy nodded.

"Oh, there's another person." Metallon showed a rare hesitation, "Earl Link will come too."

"Link? No way!" '"Why is that poker-faced Link here? I don't want to see him! That preacher, only our emperor likes him." Lucy almost jumped up as Metallon thought.

"Although Earl Link is young, he hasn't misjudged a single case since he became the head of the Military Justice Department. His rigour is obvious to all, and even His Majesty praises him for the balance in Link's hand. Apart from being serious, he's actually a pretty good young man."

Lucy covered her ears with both hands. "I don't listen, I don't listen. I don't want to see him anyway."

"That's quite a lot. No matter what, he is also one of the candidates. Furthermore, he is an old friend of yours. There is no reason why you should not see him in public or private." Metalone paused for a moment before continuing, "Your Majesty has been under quite a lot of pressure in recent years, especially in the Jordan Domain. This has caused His Majesty to encounter a lot of obstacles in his rule. Link's father, Archduke Rebez, has helped His Majesty a lot in this regard, so Your Highness, no matter what, please do not hesitate to receive Earl Link."

Lucy snorted, "What does that old man have to do with me? Since my mother left, he has never cared about me. If I hadn't become an applicant of the Golden Rose, it would be unknown whether I would still have the status of empress."

Metallon sighed, "I have known His Majesty for many years, and he is definitely not the kind of person who is heartless and unfaithful." It was because I loved your mother, Mrs. Elise, so much that I sneered at you back then. It was precisely because he loved Elise too much, and you and Madam were very similar, His Majesty was afraid that he would think of Elise when he saw you, so he avoided her. He was also very regretful afterwards. He wanted me to take care of you long before you became an applicant for the Golden Rose. "

"Your Majesty, he really wants to nurture you into an outstanding daughter. However, your misunderstanding of him is too deep. However, one day, you will understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

Lucy rubbed the corner of her shirt with both hands and struggled inside. On the one hand, she hoped that what Metallon said was true, but on the other hand, she remembered that at her age, her father's estrangement had caused her to be bullied in such a large Imperial Court. This kind of contradictory mood was truly not an outsider. "Forget it, I'll meet Link," she said finally. "But you have to tell him to remember, don't use his candidacy to see me, and you can't show off. Otherwise, I don't care if he's Rebez's son or the head of the Military Justice Department. I can't talk to him again in the future!"

Metallon smiled bitterly and said, "I know. I'll tell Link in advance. See you in three days, Your Highness."

After the communication was over, Lucy let out a long breath. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. She closed the screen of Zhi Nao and opened the door. Outside the door stood Alan. He smiled and said, "I'm back."

"Are you alright? How is it, that female giant?"

"It was going well, but something unexpected happened. Mr. Fording only heavily injured her and let her escape in the end. However, she shouldn't be back in the near future." Alan paused and said awkwardly, "I heard you talking to someone just now. Did I disturb you?"

'"No, it's Teacher Metallon. The situation in Silverwind Continent seems to have stabilized. In three days, he will come to see me. At that time, I will also mention Sharon, the marquess who is good at prophecy. She is also my teacher. When the time comes, I'll let her show you what happened to the white planet that Vera saw." Said Lucy with a forced smile.
