The capital of the Sigurd Empire, Knasabana.
A large number of people gathered in the palace's audience hall supported by twenty-eight stone pillars.
Guard knights wearing standard armor stood with halberds and guarded the surroundings of the hall.
Beautifully dressed civil and military ministers and members of the royal family stood on the left and right sides of the central red carpet according to their titles and official positions.
The contemporary King Barnte Kugaru and Princess Angelita Noah sat high on the main seat at the front, looking delighted.
Today is a happy day for the little princess to return.
It is an important occasion that princes, princes and nobles cannot miss, both in public and private affairs.
Half a year ago, Leiyin Lilia, the seventh princess of the Sigurd Empire who was well-known on the Leitings continent, accepted the invitation from the Principality of Arilat.
Set off to Olaf Plains to investigate a special event.
Unexpectedly, not long after she arrived at her destination, she was attacked by a large number of monsters.
The principality's local garrison was almost completely wiped out, the defender, General Bale, was killed in the battle, while Leiyin disappeared.
King Barnte was furious when he heard the news. He completely ignored the objections of the Principality of Airilat and arbitrarily sent troops to and from the border between the two countries to investigate.
Subsequently, the investigation team came to a result that made people both angry and speechless...
This is a man-made conspiracy with extremely ridiculous reasons.
The Principality of Airilat is a plain country located in the southwest of Restin continent.
It was once a country of order known for its strict punishments.
The country adopts the governance policy of separation of powers between the king (executive), the church (judicial), and the Senate (legislative).
But since the death of the previous king twenty years ago, the principality has fallen into chaos.
The Senate was dissolved, the church declined, and the royal family assumed sole power.
The contemporary king is far from mediocre, but his moral character is unworthy of his position, and he is particularly indulgent towards his children.
Snow, the second prince of the principality, is an arrogant and extreme person who spends his days drinking and drinking without learning or skill.
He has loved Leiyin for a long time.
His strong desire for possession drove him to the Sigurd Empire several times to express his feelings.
After being treated indifferently repeatedly, Prince Snof became resentful and even fell into madness. He wanted to kill the woman he couldn't get...
So he colluded with foreign enemies to open up the country, and planned a despicable plan to frame the imperial princess.
But Snoff never expected that the aliens' purpose was to massacre all the humans present, including him of course.
At the critical moment, General Bale sacrificed his life to protect Prince Snow from evacuating, while Leiyin was forcibly transported to a distant unknown world by his subordinates using forbidden spell-level magic.
When this incident was exposed, the Principality of Arilat immediately deprived Prince Snoff of his title and sent an envoy to deliver a large amount of property, hoping to appease the empire's anger.
Of course, it was impossible for Sigurd to accept such a perfunctory apology. Prince Snoff's head was one of the necessary conditions.
Since then, the situation between the two countries has become increasingly tense, and small-scale conflicts have even begun in the border areas.
Today, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has been missing for a long time, is back. This should be a good thing for the whole country to celebrate.
But the expressions of everyone in the palace were a little strange...
The nobles whispered and showed incredulous expressions.
King Barnt's eyes protruded, his mouth widened in surprise, and his lips, teeth and pectoralis major muscles were trembling.
His face was ashen, and his short silver-white hair stood on end.
Even the noble and elegant Princess Angelita was also extremely surprised and couldn't help but cover her red lips with her slender fingers.
only……
They are not surprised by the existence of the earth and star world.
As early as more than a month ago, Leiyin contacted the empire and informed them of the existence of another world and the visit of the Earth Star Mission.
In the long history of Leitingsi's continent, there are many related deeds about people from outer continents and other worlds.
Living environment, life forms, energy use methods, understanding of the basic structure of the world... and other factors.
The three views that created the people here are very different from those of humans on Earth and Star.
People have learned from their elders since they were young that the vast universe is filled with all kinds of worlds.
A livable planet, a closed space, a giant living body with star navigation capabilities... can all grow into a living world.
Therefore, when people in Readings encounter life forms from another world, most of their reactions are novelty, curiosity, and excitement, but they will not be shocked.
The reason why Barrett's jaw dropped just now is actually because...
After Leiyin briefly described her own experience, she said something that shocked the audience.
'Father, King and Queen, I... got engaged in the distant world of Earth and Star...'
The whole place fell silent, after a short silence.
"Who, who is it! What bastard guy married the king's daughter without permission!"
Clang!
King Barnt's eyes were filled with anger. He suddenly drew his sword and stood up from the throne, striding towards the group of 'Earth Star Mission' who were standing respectfully behind Leiyin.
The powerful sense of oppression emanating from his body startled everyone.
"Oh??? Your Majesty, you misunderstood!"
At the front of the mission, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes quickly saluted respectfully upon seeing this, his brain frantically organizing words to prepare an explanation.
The middle-aged man appears calm and smiling.
But there was a lot of panic in my heart... What kind of king is this!
Not to mention your ridiculously high level of cultivation, but you're going to kill someone when you meet him? Why don't you ask me what happened?
We have worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for so many years and have never seen such a national leader! How did you sneak into the throne?
"Ah! My most adorable little Lilia was kidnapped by you! There is no misunderstanding!"
King Barnt's eyes widened in anger, with a few tears in his eyes, and he raised his sword and was about to charge over.
My aloof little cotton-padded jacket, the only cutie among a group of 'unfilial sons' who doesn't talk back to me... suddenly got married?
At least give him a year or two to adapt to being a father...
No, absolutely unacceptable!
Faced with the sudden move of the king, the knights of the guard were calm and composed, the princes and nobles just shook their heads helplessly, and even Princess Angelita did not say anything to stop it.
Well, the gang is used to Barnt's daily antics.
This... is the kind of person who feels uncomfortable all over if he doesn't have convulsions for half a month...
However, thanks to his eccentric character, Sigurd had an unparalleled political advantage among the continental countries.
That is, few countries dare to use conspiracy against them.
Because who knows what outrageous things the crazy king of this country will do.
Between countries, you come and go for power and gain, and they restrain each other and compete for resources.
There is no right or wrong, no emotion, and no reason.
It is normal to put only national interests first.
But when I come to King Barnt, he will always reason with you, cheat on you, lose his temper, and sometimes even do things that cost him three thousand and hurt you eight hundred just for the sake of gambling.
How to play this? Do you know what Game of Thrones is? Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...
Some people say that King Barnt is a savage who is worse than a commoner.
Some people also say that King Barnt deliberately set up a persona of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid. This is a very smart political technique.
In short, no matter what, the two words most praised by politicians across the continent for this emperor of the empire are, "Mad King".
"Father...please pay attention to your etiquette!"
A young and beautiful girl with long golden spiral curly hair stood in front of King Barnt.
She gritted her silver teeth slightly, her expression was sullen, and veins appeared on her forehead.
The huge flowing skirt of the dress and the burnt smell emanating from the soles of the high heels were enough to show how fast she had just run.
This is none other than the fifth princess of the Sigurd Empire, Claes Emily.
What she was most worried about happened. Her father went crazy again in a diplomatic situation today...
"Father, let's listen to what Lilia has to say first. Maybe it's not what you think."
The second prince, Fred, carefully held onto King Barnt and smiled awkwardly at the Earth Star crowd.
"snort!"
The eldest prince Regal crossed his arms and let out a cold snort, his handsome face full of indifference.
This shameful king is just messing around in the Leitings continent, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself when facing envoys from other worlds.
Alas, it will only add to the chaos... When I inherit the throne, there will be another trouble.
Shaking his long hair coolly, Regal was too lazy to watch this farce anymore.
He looked at Leiyin with a soft expression.
My lovely imperial sister, you don’t have to worry, my brother will bury your fiancé in front of the ogre cave door later...
In Regar's mind, only men who are more handsome, elegant, and outstanding than himself are worthy of the Seventh Emperor's sister.
He didn't believe that Leiyin could meet such a man by chance. He must have been deceived.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Leiyin's fiancé did not come with us this time. He is still staying in the Earth Star World."
The middle-aged man in a suit quickly jumped in and explained while the other party was speaking.
He didn't want to get into a lot of messy household chores when he first came to another world.
"Lilia, is what he said true?"
King Barnt's neck creaked, and after twisting back a hundred and thirty-five degrees, he asked his little daughter gently.
Leiyin didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
What her father thinks about her marriage is not important.
If her father forcibly intervenes, she will use her years of accumulated military exploits to exchange for the territory that Uncle Wang has coveted for a long time to force her father to agree.
And she doesn't care about her father's attitude towards the Earth Star Mission...
Therefore, Leiyin was the one with the most peaceful mood among everyone present at the moment.
King Barnt put away his sword silently.
He walked up to the middle-aged man in a suit and asked seriously and quietly: "How far have they progressed?"
The middle-aged man in a suit tilted his head back instinctively.
The distance was so close that he almost got pierced in the face by the king's short silver beard.
"I've just reached the point of holding hands..."
The middle-aged man was telling the truth. He did not know about the farewell kiss between Lei Yin and Xu Fei.
On the day when the cross-border teleportation array was activated, all the members on the alien list arrived at Tianyang Peak early, and Leiyin was the last to arrive.
"Oh, I told you earlier. I was just joking just now, hahahaha."
King Barnt slapped the middle-aged man's shoulder loudly, with a reassuring smile on his face.
As a man, it's normal to want to take the initiative to flirt with a girl. If you turn around, just chop off your hands.
