"Shinozuki still believes that your visit to the Hutto Mansion was inappropriate."
The maid lady once again said this to Liliana in a "mediocre" carriage that was relatively common in wealthy business circles.
However, the princess who was determined could not be persuaded by repeated words.
"It's okay, Xiaoyue, we are just going to visit Mr. Hutto, who is famous in the royal capital. We won't stay too long and will return in the evening. Even the royal family of the kingdom can't say anything to us about this." With obvious joy. , Liliana covered the lower half of her face with a velvet fan and spoke a little absent-mindedly.
I'm going to meet them soon. I wonder if I can see Brother Wang in women's clothing again, hehe.
"It's no problem for us. You expressed your interest in Mr. Hutto and the theater troupe early in the morning. His Majesty Calyon and the nobles will not be surprised by our visit. Even if your identity is exposed, the people will only treat it as We won't lose anything by having a chat after dinner. But have you ever considered whether our visit will have any unnecessary impact on the other party?" Xiaoyue said worried words, but her tone and demeanor were different. She didn't show any emotion. If anything, she looked a bit like she was considering the students.
"The same will not happen!" Liliana closed her fan, raised her head, and said confidently, "I asked Leonhardt to transfer him a few days ago. Mr. Hutto's status in the royal capital is quite transcendent. I am here to serve as a subordinate to the common people. Ai Ai, no matter how lawless a vendor is, he will stay away from Hutto's mansion when selling goods; Yu Shang has contacts with various nobles, has a wide network of contacts, and has proposed several laws and regulations that have greatly contributed to the royal capital. , no matter how high the status of the nobles are, they will be kind to him!"
"If Mr. Hutto hadn't confessed that he had no interest in officialdom, he would have been the first person under Calyon." Liliana's eyes showed respect and a bit of pity.
With Hutto's talent, there are few people in the entire continent who can compare with him. Among the people the princess knew, her brother was the only one who could hold down Hutto.
After understanding what Hutto has done, Liliana, Leonhardt and Xiaoyue all admire this legendary figure in the royal capital, and will mention it with honorifics. At the same time, it is a pity that such a talented person was not born in this country. Imperial capital.
"So our visit will not have a negative impact on Mr. Hutto."
As long as Calyon doesn't have PTSD and his need for control of power doesn't reach a pathological level, he won't do anything to Hutto. Moreover, during Leonhardt's investigation, Carlion had a history of opening the door for Hutto several times, which is intriguing.
As a person in power, he is not at all wary of his subordinates who have gained fame, and even the opposite is true. This is not normal in any way, unless Calyon is sure that Hutto will never rebel!
It is not an easy thing to have such self-confidence. After all, people are separated from each other, and no one knows what the person they are facing is thinking in their heart.
Since Caerleon is so bold, does Hutto have an unknown connection with the royal family?
This is also a possibility.
In short, based on the investigation results and speculations in the past few days, Liliana believes that Hutto is unlikely to have any problems in the royal capital. Even if Calyon announced that he would pass the throne to Hutto one day in the future, she would not be too surprised.
"As for the theater troupe, they have long been bound to Hutto in the minds of the people in the capital, so there will naturally be no problems."
Liliana opened the velvet fan with a click and covered her chin and lips. She looked at Xiao Yue with a somewhat complacent expression and eyes.
It can be seen that Xiaoyue is very satisfied with Liliana's answer. She closed her eyes and lowered her head and stopped talking.
"Amazing, amazing." Leonhardt touched Liliana's head, instantly breaking the momentum created by her.
"You idiot, don't do anything!" Liliana slapped his hand away dissatisfied, "I am so compassionate that I let you ride in the same carriage with me. Even if you are not grateful, you dare to blaspheme the empire. The majesty of the princess, be careful I will chop you down!"
Leonhardt was unmoved and said with a smile: "Remember, there is no imperial princess Liliana here, only Ling Ampelus, the daughter of a wealthy businessman who is visiting the royal capital."
Ampelous is not a surname, but part of the name of the Imperial Regent Lecco. Not many people know it, and Liliana often uses it as a pseudonym.
"Tsk!" Liliana turned her head in displeasure when Leonhardt revealed her disguised identity.
"Miss, please pay attention to your etiquette." The maid reminded ruthlessly.
"Huh...huh!"
Liliana, who was getting angry, crossed her arms and ignored the two of them.
Leonhardt was amused by her expression, and Xiaoyue also looked at this playful scene with a slight smile.
In order to disguise their identities, there were only four of them in the group, and the remaining one was a groom who was driving. His true identity was that he was one of the best in the escort team.
It's not that he doesn't pay attention to the safety of the princess. First of all, in the royal capital, they are unlikely to encounter much danger, and Leonhardt is there. Secondly, too many guards will attract attention and have the opposite effect.
Of course, Leonhardt won't just relax.
There can't be any guards on the surface, but there are many secret sentries he has set up around to quietly accompany him. If there are really bad guys, they will be restrained in advance before approaching the carriage.
Under Leonhardt's careful arrangements, the imperial princess Liliana rode a carriage and drove quietly on the street like a real wealthy businessman's daughter.
After losing her temper for a while, Liliana, who knew she was bored, rearranged her appearance.
"Speaking of which, when I met Miku and the others in the empire, I never thought that the Prince of Songs, Kaito, would be a prince worthy of his name."
Liliana's eyes sparkled with the desire to gossip.
"Who would have thought." Leonhardt took over, "I was surprised for a long time when I first saw him in the palace."
"Right! At first I thought he was coming to help with the palace envoys, and I was wondering why An and Miku, two people who were already famous in the royal capital, didn't come. Unexpectedly, he quickly stood with the royal family. I It didn’t even feel like a violation.”
"Prince Kanter, you must be a talented person."
To Liliana and Leonhardt's surprise, Xiaoyue answered.
But soon, Liliana thought about the marriage. After realizing that the target was likely to be her and Prince Cantor, her eyes became subtle.
Leonhardt also quickly reacted and echoed Xiaoyue's words: "Prince Kanter's appearance and temperament are naturally extraordinary, and he has also made great achievements in music..."
Leonhart was full of praise. Although he didn't look at Liliana, his tone seemed to be hinting at something.
Liliana looked at him with disgust.
Leonhardt spoke more and more enthusiastically, and finally ended with "I don't know when An and the others knew his identity."
This sentence seemed to remind Liliana, her eyes lit up, and then she became malicious.
"You know, Lian, when I first watched a theater performance, I heard two girls chatting."
"What's the content?" Leonhardt didn't know why Liliana mentioned this, and was a little curious.
"When Prince Kantor was sixteen, he changed his name to Hairen and traveled around various countries in the mainland. During this period, he left a good name in many places. The name Prince of Songs actually existed before he joined the theater troupe, but it only spread after that... " Liliana first introduced some experiences about Hairen that all three of them knew, and then changed the subject, "And the opportunity for him to join the theater troupe seems to be because of a girl."
Xiaoyue's eyes sharpened, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
"Ah..." Leonhardt didn't know what she wanted to say, but he had a bad feeling.
"Lian, tell me, can this girl..." Liliana paused, said a few words, and slowly curved her lips, "Is it Miku?"
Leonhardt: "..."
