I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 748 - 465: Forgotten Proud Sun

When the spoken words had settled,

Princess Anna regretfully realized that the other party had no particular reaction from beginning to end, as if they had guessed this secret long ago.

Chen Lun’s expression remained unchanged, thinking to himself that it was indeed as he had suspected.

However, more questions arose in his mind.

"Was it you who wanted to kill Prince Dazlert? To kill... your own brother?"

Chen Lun asked solemnly.

Princess Anna took a deep breath.

"Not entirely... Destiny guided me through dreams, only by killing him could a great disaster be averted. Moreover, the deities ’Proud Sun’ revered by the Solar Cross Society ordained a similar oracle, only Dazlert’s death could facilitate Their release."

Chen Lun always felt there was something eerie about this.

Although he was unclear why Princess Anna’s relationship with Prince Dazlert was so indifferent, it didn’t seem likely that she would subscribe to the so-called "Proud Sun", fanatically to the extent of plotting her own brother’s murder.

After all, her father was the Sun King!

Others might get away with it, but how could a member of the royal family believe in a "Sun God" other than their fierce father?!

Such outrageous behavior, especially right under the Sun King’s nose...

This suicidal act almost made Chen Lun want to kick this princess fiercely on her buttocks and immediately chase her out. Thankfully, Sanity prevailed, and he merely coughed twice.

"It’s not that I don’t want to help you, Your Highness, but..."

"I know."

Princess Anna softly interjected.

Her gaze firm, she gritted her teeth and revealed another secret:

"If it weren’t for the premonition in the dream, I wouldn’t regard you so highly, Jack... ’Proud Sun’ is also my brother, the very royal member we cannot speak of, in seniority, He is the Great Prince!"

Chen Lun’s pupils shrank, and he reflexively blurted out that name:

"Arno..."

His mind flashed with light.

The sunny big boy he had met in the Immortal Realm, was the deity "Proud Sun" worshiped by the Solar Cross Society?!

Chen Lun was utterly shocked.

Thinking of that emaciated silhouette at the end of darkness, he could instantly understand why Arno possessed such terrifying power, daring to stand alone there, facing countless swarms and the abyss, steadfast through the long years.

He is a Sun Angel!

He is the deity "Proud Sun"!

"You... how do you know my brother’s name?"

This time it was Princess Anna’s turn to be astounded; she asked in disbelief. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"His existence has been erased by Father King for twelve years, except for the innermost members of the royal family, no one knows these secrets, and this name!"

Chen Lun fell into silence, his fingers caressing the curved handle of the Silver Staff, his mind racing with thoughts, and finally he said gravely:

"I know Arno, we are friends... but before this, I did not know His true identity."

"You are lying!"

Princess Anna’s face instantly changed, saying icily.

The look in her coachman’s eyes also turned sharp in an instant, emanating a formidable aura... he was a Saint of the Solar Cross Society!

Seeing this, Floey stood up undaunted, with purple-black light flickering from her, and a huge, deep black wolf appeared behind her at some unknown time.

The two sides confronted each other, the atmosphere becoming exceedingly tense.

"My brother was exiled and forgotten, trapped in the dark, having long lost his humanity... not to mention how you found Him, even getting close, you would be evaporated by His uncontrollable and dispersing radiance."

Anna said indifferently.

Chen Lun still sat there, unconcerned by her and the coachman’s harsh reaction. Sighing lightly, he took out an ancient, unadorned metal ring and pushed it across the table to Princess Anna.

"This is a gift He gave me when we parted."

Anna half-doubtingly picked up the ring, and the next second she was stunned.

Because it was precisely the ring she had made and given to her brother when she was young, the irregular edge marks were still present, and it exuded a rough texture... Holding it, Anna felt as if she had returned to the scene twelve years ago, full of anticipation and making a pinky promise with her brother.

"Arno, when will you come back?"

"I don’t know."

"What does ’I don’t know’ mean? You need to give me an answer! Being evasive is impolite!"

"Directly calling your elder brother by his name is also impolite, Anna."

"Alright... brother, then can you come back sooner?"

"...Yeah."

"You must come back before I grow up!"

"Ha ha, okay, I’ll come back before Anna grows up."

"Let’s make a promise! You are an angel, you can’t lie to me!"

"I won’t lie to you."

That handsome, radiant smile gradually turned into a glow.

When Anna snapped back to reality, she found her tears had already dropped onto the ring, soaking the inscribed circle inside, which read—

"Hunting the darkness, forever."

Her brother had deceived her...

Anna silently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, already believing in what Chen Lun had said by about seventy to eighty percent, but she still asked,

"How did you encounter Him?"

Chen Lun glanced at her.

From the face of the princess, he saw anticipation.

"I’m sorry, Your Highness, this matter is somewhat complex and coincidental... Due to an accident, I fell into a space that preserved traces of the past, where I met Arno. At that time, He still retained Sanity and humanity and was very welcoming of my arrival, although He had already lost most of his memories and knew only that his mission was to hunt the infinite contamination at the dark end,"

Chen Lun said slowly.

"Of course, when He saw a rag doll, He could still vaguely remember his sister Anna."

Princess Anna’s expression became extremely complex, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Can you still go to that place?"

"I’m afraid not... at least not at this stage."

Chen Lun told the truth.

Anna looked somewhat disappointed and raised her hand to signal, causing the "Saint Guard" behind her to disperse his imposing manner and revert to the appearance of an ordinary coachman.

Chen Lun also took Floey’s hand, softly asking her to sit down.

It was then that Floey dispersed the Mysterious Wolf, sitting back next to him.

"I believe your words for now, Jack..."

Princess Anna calmed her emotions and said softly.

"Can you tell me about Arno? Although we are friends, I don’t understand Him very well."

Chen Lun asked earnestly.

Anna stared at him for a few seconds, finally nodding slightly to grant his request.

"My brother was born in the year 4023 of the Solar Calendar, nearly four hundred years older than me and Dazlert... Since I was a child, He has always looked like a young man, only later did I learn that He had already ascended to the ’Sun Sequence Two - Furnace’, esteemed as an Angel with a long lifespan... He was brave and kind, and extremely wise, assisting Father King in many significant matters. More than two hundred years ago, a group of people who admired and worshipped Him founded the ’Proud Sun Cross Society,’ and from then on, my brother acquired the respected title of ’Proud Sun’..."

As Princess Anna recounted softly, Chen Lun gradually learned about the past of "Proud Sun" Arno.

As time passed, everything in the Empire stabilized, and both the nobility and the churches gradually came to know that, besides the Sun King, another ’Proud Sun’ had arisen, and they were proud and celebrated this fact.

However, twelve years ago, things took a turn.

At that time, Sun King Andre ordered an overseas expedition and launched the well-known "Mist Island Campaign," also commonly referred to as the "Overseas Landing Battle." Prince Arno had opposed this from the beginning, warning that the battle was extremely perilous and that rashly embarking on the expedition would cause severe losses and shatter countless families of the Empire.

In front of hundreds of nobles and the high-ranking officials of the seven major Churchs at the Royal Palace, Sun King Andre harshly scolded Arno, and outright expressed his utmost disappointment.

From then on, the discord between the Sun King and the Prince gradually became public knowledge.

Not long after, at the Royal City’s Sun Church, a Bishop named Asina was close to a high-ranking promotion, which the urgently needed military-expedition-supporting Royal Family and the Sun Church were both very keen on, and they strenuously provided assistance.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Bishop Asina did something completely astonishing during their promotion... At the same time as the promotion, they abandoned the faith of the Sun and transformed into a Moon Saint, issuing a resounding cry throughout the Royal City:

"People, do not be deceived by the false Sun anymore; It blinds people’s eyes only to bring about ultimate destruction."

The result speaks for itself.

Bishop Asina was attacked by the Royal Family and the Sun Church.

However, they erupted with a power beyond anyone’s imagination as a newly promoted Saint and, in a desperate struggle, the aftermath of the battle destroyed several blocks of the Central District and Upper City District, and even caused the "Grand Lift" in Sunrise Square to collapse.

The operation of the Royal City was paralyzed for a time.

Meanwhile, as Bishop Asina was on the brink of death from serious injuries, they miraculously gained the favor of the Moon Goddess and escaped amid a miracle.

It was inevitable that such a criminal would be judged; Sun King Andre, furious, ordered a manhunt, but unfortunately, for months on end, Asina vanished without a trace, as if evaporated from the world.

It was not until one day, when the young ten-year-old Prince Dazlert revealed to the Sun King that his elder brother Arno had sheltered and protected Asina, that the criminal was finally suppressed.

This incident also led to the exile of Prince Arno.

The Sun King had never liked this son and even used the mythical might of the ’Fierce Father’ to erase all information about Arno, making people forget Him.

Thus, for the following twelve years, the number of people who knew of the Great Prince’s existence were few and far between.

"That’s the story of the ’Forgotten Proud Sun’..."

Anna spoke with a desolate tone.

"So do you see why I so detest Dazlert now? He’s merciless and unprincipled; cold and selfish. Not only did he stab his own brother in the back, but he also plans to implement the ’Light Seed Project,’ turning a large number of ordinary people into Transcendents... This is a violation of the Supernatural Law and will surely cause countless tragedies!"

However, Chen Lun did not respond to her.

His brows furrowed slightly, partly in empathy for Arno’s experiences and partly in surprise at Princess Anna’s narrative. The Bishop Asina she had just mentioned... seemed to be Floey’s ancestor, Asina Wolf.

After Asina died, they transformed into a Sun-avoiding Potted Plant!

"I sensed its emotions..."

At that moment, Floey suddenly spoke.

She raised her hand, and countless dark purple roots burst forth from her palm, dancing wildly.

"It feels anger and sadness for Prince Arno..."

"What is this?"

Princess Anna was momentarily puzzled.

Chen Lun sighed and explained,

"This is the Mysterious Object that Bishop Asina transformed into after their death, currently residing within Floey’s body."

Princess Anna’s eyes sparked with astonishment.

The visit tonight, with its continual surprises, felt like many coincidences colliding at this moment, leaving Anna momentarily at a loss for words.
