Above the sea, a fleet of ships was moving slowly in a regular formation. In the center of the fleet was a main ship that was obviously expensive to build. Not only is the hull tall, the various decorations on the hull are also very eye-catching.
What is even more striking is that the emblem of the imperial royal family hangs above the mast of the main ship.
Some of the surrounding ships left voluntarily, and some were driven away by the fleet guards. Viewed from directly above, a vacuum circle is formed around the fleet.
But this did not prevent the people on the ship from looking at the fleet with curious and inquiring eyes.
Regent Lecco fought in all directions and dominated the surrounding areas with unprecedented achievements, making the empire famous all over the world. After the aftermath of the war subsided, Lecco's experience became legendary in the eyes of other people, and many people respected him.
Not long after Leko disappeared, other countries also learned the news.
But no one wants to believe it!
In their eyes, Lecco just hid behind the scenes, just as he did not ascend to the throne.
Senior leaders of other countries think more:
The disappearance was just fake news released by Lecco. He wanted to see if any unscrupulous people dared to take advantage of the empire after he disappeared. If any party jumps out to target the empire at this time, Leko will appear again to kill it, or even use it as an excuse to expand again.
Right or wrong is irrelevant for the time being.
At this moment, many of the people watching the fleet on the sea were still wondering whether Lecco was hiding in the ship, and they were racking their brains to find a chance to see him...
Another part is because I heard that the princess of the empire is a very cute girl, she thinks she is good-looking, and she is whimsical and does not want to work hard...
Or maybe it's just out of curiosity and just wants to see what the royal family of the empire looks like...
It's a pity that they are destined not to do so.
On the main ship, which attracted much attention, the princess Liliana, whom many people dreamed of, was lying in the arms of her maid without any image, her face turned blue.
"Hmm - I feel so uncomfortable. Could it be that I was poisoned?" Liliana frowned, "Who on earth dares to murder this princess?!"
Probably because of her physical discomfort, her anger seemed weak.
Xiao Yue, who was sitting on a low chair, straightened her body so that Liliana could lean back more comfortably while massaging her head. Xiaoyue pretended not to hear the word "poisoned" at all. She picked up the water glass next to her and poured some into Liliana's mouth to moisten her lips.
The two of them were seated next to the window, with the window sash wide open for ventilation.
Leonhart opened the door and walked in, took off the mask on his face, stood some distance away from the window and looked at Liliana: "Are you feeling better?"
"You'll know it just by looking at it... ugh——"
Liliana, who was in a bad mood, was about to curse, but she felt her stomach suddenly churn, her throat was sore, and she had a foreign body sensation in her nasal cavity.
Xiaoyue quickly dipped some cold water on her fingers, put them into Liliana's clothes, and pressed her fingertips on her belly. Then he lowered his shoulders so that her head could be raised.
"Close your mouth and take a deep breath through your nose slowly." Xiaoyue's cold voice made Liliana feel at ease, and she followed it unconsciously.
The nausea slowly subsided partially, but the physical discomfort still persisted.
"Sister Xiaoyue, thank you." Liliana said weakly.
Xiaoyue paused, did not react to the title, and continued to massage her.
"Looking at how lively you were when you got on the boat, it's such a contrast to now." The worry in his eyes slowly dissipated, and Leonhardt said with his arms crossed.
"If you are here to gloat, get out of here." Liliana's brows trembled a few times and she said in a steady tone, "How are the things I asked you to check?"
"Find out who poisoned you?" Leonhardt laughed unconsciously, "You are seasick, not poisoned. You can't let me catch a scapegoat for you, can you?"
"Huh, nonsense. You are fine. How could I, uh, get seasick? When I got on the boat, everything was fine, uh..."
"That only means that your symptoms of seasickness are not particularly serious. You have been on the boat for almost a day now. It is normal to feel uncomfortable."
Leonhart looked at the pale Liliana and shook his head inwardly.
Thanks to the construction of this ship under the supervision of Brother Wang, it has the best balance. Otherwise, Ling didn't know how uncomfortable it would be.
But the little girl refused to admit that she was seasick, and always had a stubborn desire to compete in such inexplicable places.
He also asked him to check the prisoner, how could he find out a ghost!
Liliana, whose sophistry failed, began to coquettishly say to Xiaoyue: "Well, it's so uncomfortable. Sister Xiaoyue, am I going to die?"
Her voice was so loud that Leonhardt got goosebumps all over his body.
"It's okay, Your Highness, we will be arriving soon. It will be much better after we get off the ship."
After comforting her, Xiaoyue glanced at Leonhardt.
"The princess is not feeling well. Sir Leonhardt is still responsible for contacting the kingdom, right? It is no longer appropriate to continue traveling today. Please discuss arrangements with the host as soon as possible and do not waste time here."
Leonhardt's face fell, Xiaoyue's intention to chase people away was very obvious.
Although he and Liliana are brothers and sisters, Xiaoyue always prefers Liliana. In the past, Xiaoyue spent more time taking care of Liliana, while he often studied with Lecco...
Um? It's much more balanced when I think about it this way.
"I'll make arrangements." Leonhart put on his mask and spent a few minutes walking to the deck.
The sea breeze blew by, and the shore was already close at hand.
Leonhardt looked intently and could see a large welcoming team guarded by soldiers standing on the coast in the distance. The surrounding civilians were driven away and looked here curiously.
Being so valued by a country with a land area similar to that of the empire twenty years ago, Leonhardt did not feel complacent, but once again felt how difficult it was for Lecco to build such a prestigious reputation.
Suppressing the longing for his brother in his heart, Leonhard held his head high and prepared to receive contact with the kingdom.
After walking down the stairs prepared by the other party, a well-dressed middle-aged nobleman walked towards him.
Facing the commander of the empire's highest de facto force, Ellens took a very serious attitude.
After introducing himself and saying a few words, Ellens found that he did not see the imperial princess, so he stopped at Leonhardt.
Leonhardt did not show off, and lowered his voice and said: "It is not convenient for Her Royal Highness to show up at this moment. She may not be able to travel today. I hope Lord Ellens will bear with me."
Ellens was also a man, and he instantly realized that the princess of the empire might be seasick, so he took over with a smile: "Lord Leonhardt was joking, we were tired from traveling and traveling, and a resting place has been arranged in advance. Please come with me."
"Take the trouble."
Leonhardt nodded and walked side by side with Ellens. Behind him, the Imperial Guard and the Kingdom's Guards of Ceremony formed two lines.
The kingdom's soldiers looked at the imperial guards with fear and scrutiny in their eyes, but their discipline did not appear to be disrupted by these small actions.
The Imperial Guard looked straight ahead from beginning to end, and the team of nearly a hundred people moved forward as if they were the same person. At present, less than half of the people have disembarked. The rest are still on the ship and will not get off until the cutscene here is over.
The leaders, Leonhardt and Ellens, were walking and talking. Their eager expressions looked like long-lost friends. The only reason for the inconsistency was that their words were too polite.
"We have invited a well-known theater troupe to participate in the reception banquet. They have choreographed a very exciting stage play. Please look forward to it." When Ellens said this, he could not help but feel a little proud in his eyes.
The look on Leonhardt's mask changed: "Is it a theater troupe led by Captain Bai?"
"...Exactly." Ellens didn't expect him to guess right right away, but he wasn't too surprised.
One of the reasons why the theater troupe was invited to the reception was that they had been in contact with the imperial royal family.
Leonhardt's face under the mask showed a real smile: "That is indeed worth looking forward to."
