Chapter 82: Seeing Olivia Again

"This really is…"

Thinking of his current situation, Chen Heng could not help but shake his head, feeling quite complicated.

Over the past few years, Chen Heng had heard much about nobles who were summoned to the Kutu Royal City. Uprisings often happened in their territories. Some pitiful nobles faced all kinds of accidents during their travels, and some were killed by bandits.

Before, because he was Olivia's family as well as one of her supporters, he had never been summoned.

He had never expected that he would be summoned this time.

Thinking to there, he inwardly shook his head.

He knew that this was most likely because of that letter from before.

Perhaps for Olivia, Chen Heng's letter was not a suggestion but a rejection of her authority.

Was this a warning?

Chen Heng was not sure.

He was unable to know Olivia's true thoughts, nor could he bother guessing at them.

After receiving this news, he went to see Krudo.

"I'm going to leave for a while; I'll have to leave this place to you," Chen Heng said as he looked at Krudo.

"Don't worry."

Krudo's expression was resolute as he nodded, "With me here, nothing will happen."

Looking at him like this, Chen Heng smiled and nodded; he trusted in Krudo's abilities.

..........

Over the past five years, Krudo had already awakened his Life Seed and had become a true Knight.

However, Chen Heng did not spread this news, and only few people knew about this.

Most people still thought that Krudo was a powerful Knight Apprentice.

After meeting with Krudo, Chen Heng met with some more people to make some arrangements.

Following this, he gathered his party and prepared to leave for the Kutu Royal City.

...

"Has Kailin come?" Olivia sat languidly as she asked the male servant below within the splendorous palace.

To her left and right were handsome young men waiting on her with extremely respectful looks on their faces.

After five years, Olivia had changed too.

She was still beautiful but began to show signs of aging. Even though she used all kinds of expensive supplements and still looked relatively young, she could not compare to how she was in the past.

However, her figure was still about the same. Even though she had become slightly chubbier, she still looked quite good.

"Count Nardo has arrived and has settled in," the male servant lowered his head as he said, "Does Your Majesty wish to summon him?"

Olivia hesitated before shaking her head, "No need. Just call him over for the banquet in a few days."

Thinking to that tall and resolute Knight, she felt quite complicated.

"Forget it, I'll see him in a few days…"

She shook her head as she thought to herself.

After a few days, the banquet officially began.

Within the luxurious hall, the nobles sat in their seats, but most looked quite tired.

It seemed that the long journey had used up much of their mental and physical strength.

Chen Heng was among them too.

As Count Nardo and the number one Knight in the entire Kutu Royal City, his position was greatly respected, and he was close to the central position.

After everyone was seated, Olivia finally appeared.

She walked into the hall and looked out, and she saw Chen Heng.

Five years had passed, and many people had changed but Chen Heng was still the same.

His appearance had not changed much, and he looked just as handsome and dashing.

However, compared to before, his gaze was extremely sharp like a sharp sword, making it so that no one dared to meet his gaze.

He silently sat there and did not make any noise. However, his unique aura and straight figure caused him to become the center of attention without anyone realizing it.

His charm had not decreased and instead became denser.

Looking at Chen Heng, Olivia slightly spaced out. Only when the servant next to her called out to her did she come back to her senses and smile as she walked to the center.

Under everyone's gazes, she raised her wine cup and began the banquet.

As the banquet started, female dancers came up and sat next to the nobles.

Giggles and chuckles continuously sounded out, filling the surroundings.

Soon, women's pants and men's ragged breathing could be heard.

Chen Heng continued to silently sit there by himself.

He did not drink any wine, nor did he engage in gluttony. He only ate as much as he needed before patiently waiting for the banquet to conclude.

Breezes blew in from outside, blowing his hair and sleeves.

Just by sitting there, it seemed like picturesque scenery, contrasting to his surroundings.

This familiar scene made Olivia feel a bit absent-minded.

Following this, she walked over to Chen Heng.

"Long time no see, Kailin."

She smiled as she stretched out her hand, "Care to join me for a dance?"

Chen Heng looked at Olivia.

Olivia's face was flushed and she gave off the smell of alcohol. Her clothes were somewhat disorderly, somewhat revealing her decent figure, making one feel tempted to stare.

"You're intoxicated, Your Majesty," Chen Heng's gaze was calm as he met her gaze and spoke softly.

Olivia laughed.

She looked at Chen Heng for a long time before saying, "You're not willing?"

Chen Heng's expression was calm, and he remained silent.

The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere became heavy.

The people in the surroundings sensed this and instinctively backed away.

One was the number one Knight and the ruler of the Sordar region, while the other was their Queen.

They could not afford to offend either party.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

Just as everyone thought that Olivia would become enraged, she instead laughed.

"You're still the same as before." Looking at Chen Heng, she laughed, feeling both amused and disappointed.

She looked at him for a bit longer before waving her hand and leaving.
