'The Night Emperor Trunsoest is a very interesting guy...' This was Lynn's genuine thought at this moment. Although they had known each other for less than two minutes, Lynn felt that this Justiciar might surprisingly make a good friend.
Lynn liked this kind of interesting person! He smiled at Trunsoest, who was internally screaming like a groundhog, and felt that his earlier hunch was correct—this trip was worth it.
On the other side, the Night Emperor Trunsoest, feeling what it meant to "die socially" for the first time in his life, also had a clearer understanding of the young angel before him.
He finally understood why Amon's expression was so peculiar whenever he mentioned Libert Abraham. The personality of this "Son of Mr. Door" was truly indescribable.
The last person who made Trunsoest feel this way was Amon.
Thus, despite the short meeting time, both parties already had a clear and deep understanding of each other. It was something worth celebrating.
"It seems Amon's description of you was quite accurate." A few seconds later, having suppressed his inner emotions, Trunsoest once again wore his signature smile and looked at Lynn.
"And how did he describe me? A troublemaker? A prankster? A mischief-maker or perhaps a husky?" Lynn tilted his head slightly, smiling, showing a certain self-awareness.
Hearing this series of descriptors, some he understood and some he didn't but could guess the meaning of, Trunsoest paused and gave Lynn a subtle look before saying, "He called you a worse trickster than himself."
"Oh!" Lynn raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and leaned against a wall, looking casual. "That's just too much. I've never done anything truly bad, let alone being a trickster."
'Really? Did you forget you just did something quite nasty?' Trunsoest didn't speak, but his look at Lynn clearly conveyed that message.
"Heh, this can't be considered nasty, at least it's better than what Amon does, isn't it?" Lynn laughed lightly and then glanced at the many books, suddenly asking, "Does Auernia know about this hobby of yours?"
Trunsoest was taken aback, clearly not used to Lynn's leap in logic. After a brief pause, he smiled and said, "Auernia rarely enters my study; she doesn't like these things much."
"Oh..." Lynn's "oh" was filled with meaning, then he said definitively, "So she doesn't know."
"I think this has nothing to do with the important matter we are about to discuss," Trunsoest instinctively shifted the topic, his eyebrow twitching.
"I don't think it's irrelevant..." Lynn smiled and said unhurriedly, "These things help me understand your relationship better, which helps in some... assessments."
Hearing this, Trunsoest frowned, his usually gentle smile turning serious. He looked at Lynn and said, "I don't like others meddling in my relationship with Auernia."
"Huh?" Lynn was taken aback by the serious tone, then he looked at Trunsoest with a laugh and said, "I think you misunderstood. I have no interest in disrupting your relationship. In fact, I support your rare and beautiful love."
Lynn's earnest tone made Trunsoest realize he was serious, and he awkwardly averted his gaze.
But Trunsoest felt it wasn't entirely his fault for misunderstanding. Although he admitted he was a bit sensitive and suspicious in this relationship, it was mainly due to the ambiguous words of the young angel in front of him.
"So what do you mean?" Trunsoest didn't forget the main issue and asked immediately.
"I don't know how much you know about me, nor how much Amon told you..." Lynn stood up straight, smiling at Trunsoest, and said unhurriedly, "But this doesn't stop me from wanting to discuss cooperation with you, concerning the future of you and the Blood Moon Queen, Auernia."
"I mean your futures, not your love or marriage."
Trunsoest's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't have much information from Amon about Lynn, but as an ally of the six Gods, he managed to get some info from the Evernight Goddess—like Libert Abraham's abilities seemingly relating to time.
But more specific details, Trunsoest didn't know. Hearing Lynn's words now, he instinctively thought of one aspect and asked, "You mean you know the future of Auernia and me?"
"You could say that." Lynn didn't deny it, smiling at the Justiciar before him.
He hadn't planned to reveal this so early, but after meeting Trunsoest and understanding his feelings for the Blood Moon Queen Auernia, Lynn knew that while Trunsoest might not care about his own death, he would definitely care about his wife Auernia's fate.
It wasn't surprising. Sequence 0s weren't devoid of emotions. Referencing Roselle and Bernadette, they cared about little else, so when they had someone they loved, they would be more extreme than mortals.
'Though... a Sequence 0 falling in love after becoming Sequence 0 was rare, even in the high-sequence circles of the mystical world.'
'No wonder the Abraham family's geniuses wrote 8 out of 10 fanfictions about them. It was a rare love story worthy of its own genre.' Lynn thought, looking at Trunsoest, who had obvious doubts, and continued:
"In the future, in the originally destined history, you will fall shortly after the Four Emperors' War ends, and Auernia will soon meet the same fate after your fall."
Trunsoest's pupils contracted sharply. He might not fully believe Lynn's words, but due to known information, he couldn't completely ignore them either. Even in this half-believing state, hearing about both his and his wife's demise after the Four Emperors' War was shocking.
