Chapter 123: The Shock at the Royal Theatre
After the song ended, Nelise walked off the stage.

In the seats below the stage, Lauren kept clapping, and when she saw Nelise coming over, she hugged her excitedly.

"Oh my god, it sounds so good! Why is it so good? My ears are really pregnant."

"Want to learn? I can teach you."

"Forget it, I don't have the talent for singing." Lauren suddenly lost confidence.

"That's not true." Nelise smiled, and the whole air seemed to be much more cheerful. "Lauren's voice is great. If she practices hard, she will definitely be able to sing a beautiful song."

"Really?" Lauren hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I'll leave it to you."

"Leave it to me." Nelisse said confidently.

The two of them sat in the audience seats. The staff on the stage were busy adjusting the lighting effects, the magic sound system, the distance of the lift, etc. This was a big project.

"Everyone is so happy." Lauren pointed at the busy staff and smiled, "There is no happier job than being able to hear the goddess singing while working."

"What goddess singer? You dare to tease me?" Nylis shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm just an ordinary woman who likes to sing."

"No, no, no, you are a goddess, it's recognized." Lauren still insisted.

"How can there be a goddess like me?" Nellis changed the subject and said, "Where are Sigri and the others? Why didn't they come with you today?"

"Sigri and Aiqier have guild missions to complete today, and Rosa has some things to do too." Lauren said, counting on her fingers.

Of course, the true situation of the other people cannot be told to Nelise in detail. If Nelise knew the truth, it might affect her mood, which is not a good thing for the upcoming concert.

"Oh, that's a pity. The day before yesterday, Aiqier was clamoring to hear me sing." Nelise didn't notice anything unusual. As the top-ranked adventure team in the Kendenia Empire, the 'Valkyrie' often takes on some difficult commissions. It is normal for them to be busy.

"It can only be said that she is not blessed with good hearing."

"By the way, Nellis, do you have someone you like?" Lauren's eyes turned and she suddenly turned the topic to the private life of the boudoir.

"Ah?" Nylis blushed and said coquettishly, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I asked as soon as I thought of it. Aqier and the others asked me the same question a few days ago." Lori said as a matter of course.

"So, Lauren, do you have someone you like?"

"No, my father has urged me several times. Those noble sons who pursued me have no manliness at all. None of them can last more than three moves in my hands."

Lauren is very disdainful of those so-called suitors.

"You are a glory-level adventurer. There are only a few men in the world who can meet your requirements."

"Then wait for a man who makes my heart beat."

"It's probably going to be difficult. If you continue like this, you might be single for the rest of your life."

"What's wrong with being single? I'm satisfied as long as I can fight as an adventurer. I like fighting more than falling in love." There was a fire in Lauren's eyes, and it was obvious that she really liked fighting.

"You, the words you say don't sound like a girl at all. You are a princess."

"Aren't you a goddess too? By the way, you haven't answered me yet."

"Yes." said Nelise.

"Oh, you don't have one either." Lauren's eyes suddenly widened, and she said in disbelief: "Wait, wait, did I hear it wrong just now?"

"You heard me right. I have someone I like, although we haven't met yet." "Haven't met yet?" Lauren was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Although we have never met, I would recognize him immediately if I saw him."

"Although I don't quite understand what you mean, but what you mean is that you already have someone you like, right?"

"You could say that."

Lauren shook her head regretfully and said, "It seems that the dreams of my two brothers have been shattered."

"Okay, so this is why you asked me. I trusted you so much!" Only then did Nelise realize Lauren's real purpose.

"Sorry, sorry." Lauren said apologetically, "I can't help it. Those two guys have been coming to see me every day since they found out you were living with me. I'm almost fed up with them. I'm doing this to make them give up as soon as possible."

"Oh, forget it. I have to go up to rehearse. We can talk later."

"OK, all right."

Nelise returned to the stage once again for a new round of rehearsals.

Just as Nelise stepped onto the stage, the entire theater suddenly shook violently.

Then there was a loud "bang" and the originally closed door turned into debris all over the sky.

"Haha, where is the Royal Valkyrie? Come and fight me."

Hearing this voice, Lauren's face changed. She picked up the golden gun beside her and did not rush out the door. Instead, she jumped onto the stage and came to Nelise's side.

"Lauren, what's happening?" There was a hint of anxiety in Nelise's eyes. Senli and Lindsay had been guarding outside the door of the Royal Theatre. Now that the main entrance had been broken, didn't it mean that the two old people were in great danger?

Fortunately, the truth was not as bad as she thought. As soon as Nelise finished speaking, two figures rushed in from the door. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Nelise standing on the stage unharmed.

It was Mori Li and Lindsay.

"Grandma, Dad!" Nelise's face lit up with joy, but she was stopped by Lauren just as she was about to step forward.

"Nellis, go and take shelter with the theater staff and return to the palace quickly. It will be very dangerous here." Lauren's tone was surprisingly serious.

"Run? Others can run, but the goddess singer can't run."

A big man with a scar on his face walked out of the door carrying a huge sword, followed by three men and one woman, walking towards the stage.

"The fourth apostle of Black Heaven, Mantu." Lauren stepped forward, blocked Nylis behind her, and revealed the bald man's origin.

"Mantu?" This name made Nelise's pretty face change.

Even she had heard that a man named Mantu once massacred three villages in one night. He was a ruthless executioner and one of the most wanted persons by the Holy See.

I didn't expect to meet him in person today.

"Hey, Royal Valkyrie, we haven't seen each other for a long time. It seems that you have changed your gun." Man Tu's eyes lit up when he saw Lauren.

"You still dare to appear in front of me? It seems that the lesson I taught you last time was not enough."

"I still remember the scars you left on me. Let's play another round today. I want to know how much strength you have left after losing the magic spear."

　I was on a business trip to the capital, walking on the cold streets, and ordered an ice cream without hesitation, eating it while shivering...
