In the Name of Empress-Chapter 619 - 358: Heartbeats at Zero Distance (Part 3)
Her injuries were severe, and surviving was already a blessing.
Christine looked serene, softly saying, "Don't be sad, at least you can feel my heartbeat closely."
Her smile was pure, while Roland's was somewhat forced.
As they exchanged heartbeats, he silently made a wish, adding another person he must protect.
He wanted to awaken Christine from her false beliefs, to make her live for herself.
As they exchanged heartbeats, the carriage slowly entered Mei Quan Palace.
Roland and Christine stayed inside, continuing to hide.
Meinette conversed briefly with a dark-faced man in black, who then walked over to Roland's carriage.
He lifted the curtain and saw the stacked boxes.
Roland and Christine were right behind the boxes.
They held their breath, without any fluctuations in their aura.
Concealing oneself is a core skill for the strong, hardly challenging for them.
The man in black hesitated for a moment, then put down the curtain.
Queen Sisi's mysterious death means the future ruler of the Kingdom will be Meinette.
Despite looking down on Meinette, the man in black still gave him face.
Suppress when necessary, console when needed; pure-blood Dark Races passing through the cracks are few, many tasks require these Secondary Dark Races to handle.
The essence of Dark Race is still human; even though internally divided into Enchanting Demon, Red Demon, Azure Demon, Blood Demon four branches, there's no reproductive isolation from humans.
Since they are of the same race, transformation is simple.
Just accept the dark ritual and produce a Seed of Darkness within, becoming a member of the Dark Race.
Such members are called Secondary Dark Race.
The traitors are always despised, yet they persist.
After the man in black left, Roland and Christine slightly sighed in relief.
They didn't expect the one checking the carriage was the High tier Shadow Councilor from the attack on Sofia.
The power of seven High tier Shadow Councilors formation can rival the Soul Blood Link Array, but their luck was bad; Christine's strategy broke them and the formation was defeated before it could start.
After the failure, five died and two fled, with the fleeing ones being evidently stronger.
If exposed, Roland and Christine would only have to fight their way out and escape.
With Sofia backing them, Roland wasn't worried.
He was just concerned about Christine.
Who knows how many Dark Races Tirol has, Sofia probably won't protect her; it was truly dangerous just now.
Seeing Roland's tense expression, Christine felt a bit scared too.
With Divine Power protecting her, she didn't need to panic.
She was just worried about Roland.
Who knows how many Dark Races Tirol has, Goddess likely won't protect him; it was truly dangerous just now.
Meinette didn't even turn back to look at the carriage; although the most dangerous hurdle was over, he couldn't relax.
He has already chosen; next will be Roland's performance.
He trusts not Roland, but the series of miracles Roland has created.
After all, Roland boldly confronted Sofia and still protected himself and his family.
Thinking of the ever-growing Seed of Darkness inside him, he shivered.
Even though the High tier Councilor code-named Nine kindly told Meinette this was the Holy Mark, Meinette was outwardly grateful, yet internally cursed the councilor's family.
He doesn't want to become a slave of the Dark Race.
Collaborating with Roland might just give up some interests.
Dealing with the Devil, even the soul can't be preserved.
He clearly knows which is more important.
Looking up at the tallest building within Mei Quan Palace, Meinette frowned.
With a Seed of Darkness in his body, he can see the darkness beneath the light.
This magnificent palace has long been shrouded in darkness.
Roland, can you create another miracle?
