Master Of Martial Arts Has An Advanced Optical Brain

1522 Naive!

Chu Nan jumped up from the bed and looked at Prince Lekas in surprise.

Ever since the trial ended, he had been locked up in this place for two days. During this period, no one came to contact him. Even ordinary food was sent in through machinery.

He originally thought that the Declan Royal Elder Council had deliberately done this to prevent him from coming into contact with anyone in these three days and directly facing the test.

However, he did not expect that someone would actually come to see him directly, and this person was actually Prince Lekas!

“I’m doing quite well.” Chu Nan shrugged, “Your Highness, why are you here?”

He was very puzzled.

Logically speaking, even if someone could visit him, it should not be Prince Lekas.

Regardless of what Prince Lekas thought in that trial, from the surface, it was obvious that he was on his side.

Now that the others did not come, Prince Lekas could. Could it be that this meant that the Elder Council’s attitude towards Chu Nan had softened?

“I wanted to see you, so I came,” Prince Lekas replied casually, his tone relaxed and casual.

As he replied, he sized up his surroundings. After seeing the arrangements in the room, he sighed and patted Chu Nan’s shoulder.

“Heh, kid, this is not a place that people like to stay, right?”

Chu Nan glanced at him in confusion.

What did this mean? Could it be that he was hinting at something?

“Fortunately, I don’t feel any discomfort,” Chu Nan replied with a nonchalant expression, “In any case, I’ve been cultivating these few days, so it doesn’t matter where I am.”

“Ha, no wonder your strength has always increased so quickly. It turns out that you know how to grasp all opportunities to hurry up and cultivate. If our descendants of the royal family could work as hard as you, they would not have performed so embarrassingly in the Garden Hunting Assembly.”

Prince Lekas patted Chu Nan’s shoulder again and pointed at the only bed in the room.

“Come, sit down and talk.”

Chu Nan watched in confusion as Prince Lekas sat down. He originally wanted to stand and answer out of respect, but he was pulled again.

“There’s no need to be so reserved. We’re family in the future. You can just call me Uncle Lekas like Viennelle. You’ve seen it in the past. I have a good relationship with Romanti and Viennelle. You can be like them in front of me.”

Chu Nan hesitated for a moment and carefully sat down on the other side of the bed, slightly away from Prince Lekas. He turned to look at him and the doubt in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Although Prince Lekas’s performance had always been very amiable, his dignity as a prince would always appear unintentionally. He was definitely not a guy who could be easily approached. Now, he was putting on such an amiable appearance. Could it really be because of his inexplicable engagement with Princess Viennelle?

When he thought of the engagement, Chu Nan could not help but ask, “Your Highness, Princess Viennelle and I…”

“You’re not engaged? I know.” Prince Lekas interrupted Chu Nan.

Chu Nan was stunned, “You know?”

“Of course I know.” Prince Lekas looked at Chu Nan with a smile, “Because this engagement was originally discussed and decided by her father, Rokamp. We naturally know better than anyone that you weren’t engaged previously.”

“Then you…”

“You should know very well.” Prince Lekas interrupted Chu Nan again and stared at him before his expression became serious, “This is to protect you. This is because only in this way will your crime of secretly learning the Exterminating Heart Technique not be established and it’s possible to save you from the trial of the Elder Council. You should also know very well how much Viennelle sacrificed to save you.”

Chu Nan was silent.

Of course, he knew that the person who had paid the most in the entire matter so far was Princess Viennelle.

If she, who had a gentle personality and was far from being as straightforward and tough as her sister, Princess Romanti, wanted to express in front of so many people that she had fallen in love with Chu Nan in a short period of time and even directly be engaged, it required extremely great courage and determination.

In fact, in order to seek the trust of the Elder Council and the others who were watching from the sidelines, she had to work hard to show that she was infatuated with Chu Nan in front of so many people. This was no different from an extremely great torture for her.

The reason why he supported her in putting in so much effort and sacrifice was naturally to save Chu Nan’s life.

“How’s Princess Viennelle now?” Chu Nan thought for a moment and asked.

“At least you still have some conscience.” Prince Lekas smiled again, “She’s fine now. Although many people asked her about the engagement with you, she very well hid it. Therefore, everyone in the royal family has already confirmed that she was indeed engaged to you a long time ago. Even if the Elder Council has some doubts, it’s useless.”

“No, that’s not what I’m asking.” Chu Nan shook his head and paused for a moment before continuing to ask, “What I want to ask is, does she… really think it doesn’t matter?”

“What do you mean?” Prince Lekas put away his smile and asked in a low voice.

“I want to say that… she knows very well that I have a girlfriend. Moreover, she has seen me before. I… don’t have any romantic thoughts about her…” Chu Nan said hesitantly.

“So what does this have to do with your engagement?” Prince Lekas interrupted Chu Nan again, “Your girlfriend is that girl, Angie Prairie. I naturally know this. However, this time, it’s to save your life. Could it be that you want to run to the Elder Council and tell them that you like someone else? Are you actually not engaged to Viennelle? You want the Elder Council to confirm your crime again and execute you?”

Chu Nan was silent for a moment before gently taking a deep breath and looking up at Prince Lekas.

“Your Highness, I told you in the trial hall that I was not confident in passing the test. I lied.”

“Hmm?”

“In fact, I’m very confident because I don’t think there are many cultivation methods in this world that are more complicated than the Exterminating Heart Technique. If I can even analyze the Exterminating Heart Technique, I can also do the same for other cultivation methods. Therefore, I’m confident that I can pass the test and prove that I didn’t secretly learn the Exterminating Heart Technique from Princess Pamela,” Chu Nan said seriously.

“Okay, you can pass the test and prove that you did not secretly learn it. Then?” Prince Lekas asked again.

“Then?” Chu Nan was slightly stunned, “Then, this means that I’m not guilty. Princess Viennelle doesn’t have to force herself to use the engagement to save me.”

“Naive!” Prince Lekas’s expression sank and he berated Chu Nan bluntly, “Do you really think this is fine?”
