Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1582: Chapter 851: Qing Chen’s Fate Fragment_2

As she spoke, the thin figure of the Fifth Princess stared intently at Qing Chen, trying to discern something from his face.

Qing Chen’s heart tightened as he still couldn’t determine what the Fifth Princess had seen.

The Fifth Princess examined him closely but failed to notice anything unusual on Qing Chen’s face.

At this point, Qing Chen asked, “What does the Fifth Princess think of the Duke of Storm City?”

“At the level of a Duke, they no longer need to be overly courteous to anyone except His Majesty the King. Even my father shows them some deference in daily matters,” the Fifth Princess said. “Currently, he suggests that my father promote Bolton to the position of Commander of the Third Division. It’s neither friendly nor unfriendly; I know what he wants.”

“What does he want?” Marquis Bolton asked.

“Whether impeaching him a year and a half ago or now using his achievements to transfer you, it’s all about getting Control of Outpost Base No. 9,” the Fifth Princess explained. “Entering the Taboo Forest from Storm City has to pass through Outpost Base No. 9, and it’s natural that he doesn’t want his retreat and supply line to be controlled by others.”

So, the Duke of Storm City recommended Marquis Bolton to the Third Division, only to get Bolton out of the way and plant his own people in the outpost base. That’s all.

This is how politics works; there’s no need to set up enemies and friends for yourself.

You just need to pursue your own goals, and on this path, anyone who blocks you is an enemy, and anyone who helps you is a friend.

Today’s enemies could also become tomorrow’s enemies.

Marquis Bolton said bitterly, “But I’m going to the Third Division; I’ve heard that place is tough.”

The Fifth Princess stroked his cheek and comforted him, “Don’t worry, just endure until this war ends. Then you can return to the Central Royal City with me and never have to come to the battlefield again.”

Marquis Bolton said, “Honey, you are like the sun in my life, illuminating my existence. Without you, my life would be bleak and my future rugged…”

Qing Chen stood expressionlessly on the side, watching as the Fifth Princess blushed.

Truth be told, the Fifth Princess seemed to be quite receptive to this tactic.

At this moment, the Fifth Princess looked at Qing Chen, “Do you want to know the fragments of destiny related to you?”

Qing Chen slightly lowered his head, “If the Fifth Princess is willing to speak, I’m willing to listen.”

“I saw that one day you personally killed the Duke of Storm City, with Bolton standing by your side,” the Fifth Princess said with a smile.

Qing Chen smiled, “Princess, you must be joking. How could a C-Class like me kill the Duke of Storm City?”

The Fifth Princess also smiled, “Indeed, just joking. Actually, I saw… on a future day, Bolton receiving the Duke’s coronet in the palace of the Central Royal City, while you stand smiling by his side. This is a fragment of destiny I saw a few years ago. At that time, I was still curious about how this husband would become a Duke, and I didn’t know who you were beside him. It wasn’t until a few days ago, when I saw your information, that I realized destiny had given hints years ago.”

Qing Chen thought to himself that he was fortunate she didn’t see Bolton becoming the new king of the West Continent, otherwise, it would’ve been impossible to explain…

As for the notion of killing the Duke of Storm City mentioned previously by the Fifth Princess, he wasn’t sure if she was really joking.

But if she did see it, how would the Fifth Princess think about the process of a C-Class Genetic Warrior killing a Demigod? Thinking about it carefully, it’s quite odd.

Currently, the Fifth Princess clearly had more political acumen than Bolton, and Qing Chen couldn’t determine which of her words were true and which were false.

The Drama Master was exceptionally mysterious.

In the next moment, the Fifth Princess’s blue eyes turned black, like the color of the universe, and within that blackness, there were brilliant lights, like a flowing galaxy.

Qing Chen sensed that she was using the Drama Master’s ability to see him.

Previously, the Fifth Princess had seen him through Bolton’s destiny, but now she was directly looking at his destiny!

He almost wanted to take out and put on something from outside the Three Realms but held back.

Soon, the Fifth Princess’s eyes returned to normal, but her expression gradually turned a bit surprised.

Qing Chen slowly asked, “What did you see, Princess Royal?”

The Fifth Princess frowned, “I saw you living like an ordinary person in the Central Royal City, grocery shopping, cooking. But oddly, Black Spider and a household robot were following you. Isn’t Black Spider one of the Duke of Storm City’s people? Why would she be following you?”

This fragment of destiny was so bizarre that the Fifth Princess couldn’t help but speak it out.

Marquis Bolton joked, “Could it be that my wife became the new Empress and appointed him as the new Duke of Storm City?”

Qing Chen and the Fifth Princess both remained silent.

Everyone knew that the Duke of Storm City held the Black Magic inheritance of the Arbiter, and it was passed down through the clan, making it impossible for outsiders to replace him.

Only someone as naive as Bolton would have such fanciful thoughts.

But the problem was, no one could explain why Black Spider, who was with the Duke of Storm City, would appear as a subordinate beside this ‘Chief Butler’…

The Fifth Princess carefully scrutinized Qing Chen, her mind racing with thoughts, finding it hard to decide.

Suddenly she said, “Bolton, pack your things and prepare to head to the Third Division. After a handover with the current commander, you can go to the First Army Group to assume your position.”

Qing Chen thought for a while and said, “There are still some things that need to be done before going to the Third Division.”
