Chapter 62: Audience

Within a room, there was a strange smell from all kinds of medicinal grasses mixed together.

At the center of the room, a middle-aged man silently lay on the bed, looking incredibly feeble.

His figure looked quite big, but he was covered with wounds from head to toe, and he was completely covered by the smell of medicinal grasses.

The space where his right arm should have been was empty.

Looking at Mader, Chen Heng lightly sighed.

The scene of his fight with Mader back then appeared in his mind. He had never expected Mader to have become like this in a few months.

It had to be said that nothing was constant in life.

However, in a sense, this was the destiny of Knights.

As a Knight, from the instant that one awakened one’s Life Seed, it was extremely unlikely that they would die of old age.

Most Knights either died in battles or accidents.

As such, it was not surprising that Mader would end up like this.

After Chen Heng walked out of Mader’s room, Kelly was still waiting there.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Heng patted Kelly’s shoulder before leaving.

Of course, before leaving, he had left a gift and gave it to Mader’s servants.

On the way back, Chen Heng thought to himself while sitting in his carriage.

The conflict between Princess Olivia and Prince Grith was more intense than he had expected.

As a Knight, Mader was one of the top-tier existences in the entire Kutu Principality, and yet he had become like this.

As for Prince Grith’s Knight, he had directly died.

From another perspective, this kind of outcome was quite good for Chen Heng.

From what he knew, Princess Olivia originally had three Knights, and now that Mader had become like this, she had essentially lost one of them.

Under such circumstances, Chen Heng’s value became even more apparent.

At the very least, he had become more valuable to Princess Olivia.

In his battle with Mader, he had already shown his value. He was incredibly strong, and even Mader, when he was not using his life energy, could not easily defeat him.

For him to have such strength, he could be called a quasi-Knight, and it was extremely likely that he would become a true Knight in the future.

Now that she had lost a Knight, her attention would most likely fall on him and take him more seriously.

“It’s a pity that I haven’t awakened my Life Seed yet, or else my plan would go even more smoothly.”

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Heng felt that it was a shame.

There was a massive difference between a Knight who had awakened a Life Seed and a Knight Apprentice who had not.

Even though Chen Heng had performed incredibly well, he had not awakened a Life Seed and was lacking compared to a true Knight.

If he had already awakened a Life Seed and was a true Knight, his treatment would be completely different.

Chen Heng felt quite frustrated about this.

After his battle with Mader, he had been working hard at cultivating. Every day, he was either cultivating the Knights Breathing Technique or the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique; he had never slacked off.

His strength had indeed increased, and with the help of life energy, his progress in the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique was very fast. However, he was still unable to grasp the feeling of awakening his Life Seed.

It seemed that he was still lacking something.

“Back then, when it was getting close to awakening, that was when I fought with Mader…” Chen Heng thought to himself, “It seems that a Life Seed is easier to be stimulated during battle.”

For now, he did not have an opportunity to verify his guesses and could only put those thoughts aside.

The carriage continued onwards and Chen Heng returned to his residence.

After visiting Mader, the following period of time was quite calm, until a certain day.

“An invitation from Princess Olivia?”

Looking at the woman in front of him, Chen Heng looked somewhat surprised.

“Indeed,” the woman smiled and said, “after a few days, Princess Olivia will have some free time and hopes to invite Sir Kailin for dinner. Will you have time?”

“I will definitely attend to Her Highness’ invitation,” Chen Heng nodded and did not hesitate to accept Olivia’s invitation.

Hearing this reply, the woman turned and left.

Looking at the woman’s back, Chen Heng’s gaze was calm but inwardly felt quite pleased.

Just as he had expected, Princess Olivia had taken the initiative.

This invitation was the first step.

Now, whether or not Chen Heng could achieve his goals would depend on his abilities.

Thinking to there, he turned and began to make preparations.

A few days later, the palace’s gates slowly opened and revealed the scenery within.

After walking in, Chen Heng looked about.

The structures in the palace were all quite ancient-looking, but they were incredibly grand and splendorous.

All around him, there were armored guards standing by the side, looking about attentively.

Under their gazes, Chen Heng slowly walked forwards into the depths of the palace.

There, Olivia was waiting for him.

She was wearing a red dress and looked incredibly refined and beautiful.

“Long time no see, Mr Kailin,” she smiled as she said softly.

“It is my pleasure to meet you again, esteemed Princess Olivia,” Chen Heng said with a respectful expression as he gave an earnest bow.

Even though he did not particularly care for etiquette classes, Chen Heng was not lacking at all and looked incredibly courteous and well-mannered.

However, different from other people, his body remained straight the entire time, and his gaze was incredibly sharp, giving off a different feeling than other people.

He had especially worn a close-fitting robe today. Under the light, his figure seemed incredibly tall and straight, and his handsome face extremely stood out. His gaze was calm yet resolute, and at a glance, he seemed like an exceptional Knight.

Looking at Chen Heng, Olivia’s eyes could not help but light up.

Now, she knew why Verna was so infatuated with him.

It was not just that he had good virtues and an outstanding character; just his handsome appearance was enough to attract people to him.

He came from a noble family, was powerful, had good looks, and was extremely virtuous… such a Knight was indeed able to attract many people’s gazes, especially from young women.

Looking at Chen Heng, Olivia stared for a moment, seeming to be lost in her thoughts.
