Ann didn't expect Alvin to interrupt at this time.
"Lord Ion came here at my suggestion."
Ion's reason for coming to the kingdom has something to do with Alvin?
This is not a good sign!
If they are working together in private, even if neither of them is the mastermind of the attack, such a relationship is definitely not a good thing for the governance of the empire.
No, let’s hear what he says first…
It's not a good thing to think too fast. An calmed herself down and listened carefully to Alvin's speech.
Alvin spoke at a normal speed without pausing: "Your Highness, to be honest with you, when the news about your attack on the royal capital reached the imperial capital, the entire imperial capital immediately exploded. All the ministers speculated The people are uneasy and indignant. Radical people even wrote to the palace, intending to use overwhelming force to suppress the kingdom and welcome you back home safely."
"All this happened in just three days!"
"Three days?!" Liliana was surprised, "The news from the Royal Capital spread throughout the Imperial Capital so quickly?"
"That's because something happened to you not long ago..." Alvin looked at An and said to Liliana, "Guest, when you were attacked outside the imperial capital, everyone in the imperial capital was frightened. Although it eased after the murderer died, Many, but people are still very sensitive to similar incidents."
"Your mission to the kingdom is a big event, and many people are paying attention to it at all times. News of the incident in the royal capital was reported back to the imperial capital the next morning."
"We were still dealing with the adverse effects caused by previous incidents, and before we had time to control them, the news spread widely among the public."
"Everyone has the same idea, which is to get you back home safely at all costs. Although this greatly advances the time for us to organize manpower to greet you, it also has a serious negative impact."
"The internal affairs of the imperial capital are almost paralyzed, and officials cannot carry out their daily work. Their desks are filled with petitions from the people of the imperial capital every day - they hope to stop unnecessary work and give priority to bringing Her Royal Highness back to the country."
Alvin spoke with a heavy tone about the serious situation facing the imperial capital, and then thought of the reasons for this situation, and stroked his beard with a look of relief.
He remembered the key and continued: "Fortunately, thanks to the blessings of you and your brother, the people of the imperial capital today have a high level of personal cultivation. The order of the imperial capital is still maintained, and there is no chaos. The only thing that cannot be carried out is politics. The operation of the city has not been fatally affected.”
"It's just that in order to get everything back to normal as soon as possible, Your Highness may not be able to rest immediately after returning to the Imperial Capital. You will need to give a speech in front of the people of the Imperial Capital."
"Uh...heh, it doesn't matter." The dreamlike reality made Liliana a little dazed. She came back to her senses and said, "So, Qing Yiong is..."
Alvin said with a smile: "Lord Ion has nothing to do in the imperial capital now. He has to be nagged by people up and down every day. I saw how pitiful he was, so I dragged him to pick you up."
"Lord Alvin, you..." Ion's face was full of helplessness. Under the gaze of everyone, he nodded, "He is right. I originally planned to go with him, but the next moment I picked up Lord Alvin. The proposal saves many steps.”
"——But Your Highness!" Ion said with a serious expression, "Lord Alvin said it easily, but it is not a trivial matter for political affairs to be stranded. Please make sure to put in more effort when you return to the imperial capital!"
"Hmm..." Liliana was a little frightened by Ion's expression.
Hearing the ridiculous and unbelievable reality, Liliana, who had just entered the state of a princess, was knocked back to her original state. She looked at Xiaoyue for help, but Xiaoyue, who had always stood up at this time, did not speak. the meaning of.
"Lord Ion, don't worry." It was An who spoke, "Her Highness Liliana has worked hard and tirelessly to come here, isn't it just to restore the imperial capital to normal as soon as possible?"
Ann and Ion's eyes met.
"Sir, that's right!" Ion suddenly laughed and said after saluting Liliana, "Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude. I was too impatient."
"Haha, I am also wrong, I should not tease Lord Ion about this matter." Alvin also saluted, "Your Highness, please forgive me!"
After buffering, Liliana regained her composure again. When she saw the juice and wine nearby, she said gracefully: "Then I will offer you a glass of apology."
Ion and Ion looked at each other and laughed: "As you command!"
Each of them picked up a glass of wine.
"Your Highness, here." Before Liliana stretched out her hand, Xiaoyue handed over a glass of juice.
"Don't be anxious, I know that I can only drink juice!"
In the midst of laughter and laughter, the three of them drank the contents of their cups.
The relaxed atmosphere made Miku feel more relaxed, but she suddenly felt An's hand holding hers slightly harder.
Don't let up.
Miku saw this meaning in An's eyes, and she immediately concentrated her attention, remaining calm on the surface.
Putting down the wine glass, Alvin suddenly said to Liliana: "Your Highness, I have long heard that there is a famous person in the capital who knows astronomy and geography. I wonder if you can see him during this trip?"
Liliana was startled, but she immediately realized that Alvin was talking about Hutto.
Leonhardt took over from Liliana and said: "The receptionist your Highness met when he went to the Royal Capital was, his name was Hutto, and he was indeed a wise man. If his roots were not in the Royal Capital, I would have invited Mr. Hutto Come to the Empire.”
"Oh? Hutto?" Alvin looked at An, "Isn't that Mr. Little's teacher?"
An nodded and said: "Indeed. It is only because of the convenience of Teacher Hutto that I can meet Her Royal Highness Liliana again."
"What a coincidence!" Alvin sighed, "I never had the chance to meet this famous person..."
As he spoke, his eyes moved: "Hey, since the young gentleman is the student of that famous gentleman, I wonder if I can ask you for advice, and at the same time, I can see your teacher's style?"
"Well..."
Test? really……
An's expression did not change, and after a slight pause, he met Alvin's gaze: "Although I have only learned a little bit from the teacher, and my own talents are limited, opportunities are rare, and being able to discuss with Minister Alvin is also a rare learning opportunity, so...it would be embarrassing. !”
"Where, it's a blessing for me to be able to discuss knowledge with this young gentleman..."
…
The other side of the banquet hall.
As everyone's eyes focused on where An and the others were, Mei Ke and others gradually lost their appetite.
"Are they... okay?" Bai worriedly asked.
Liu Ge's mood was the same as Bai's: "Miku and An's acting skills are both excellent, but the people they face are also difficult to deal with..."
"Don't worry too much, there are Rin and Ren. They are together, nothing will happen." Although he said this, Neru didn't even notice that he dropped the fork in his hand.
Jerry picked it up silently and put it aside.
He looked at where An and the others were, and murmured: "We say we have to face it together, but every time this happens, a sense of powerlessness rises in his heart..."
Hairen adjusted his expression and comforted him: "Okay, don't be like this, everyone. They definitely don't want us to feel sorry for ourselves like this. We can think about what to do next. Even if An's mind is not flexible, he can't cover everything. We can check and fill in the gaps for him!”
Everyone nodded and cheered up.
In fact, everyone in the troupe knows what Hairen is talking about, but under such circumstances, when they are free, they will inevitably have random thoughts.
Kaito breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his companions cheering up one by one.
He was really worried just now that his people were not defeated by the enemy, but were defeated first by the pressure...
Hairen felt something was wrong. He noticed that Mei Ke was looking at An who was chatting happily with Alvin and Ion in the crowd.
"Meiko, what's wrong with you?"
"..."
Hai Ren shouted several times before Mei Ke came back to her senses.
"...It's nothing." She looked away and smiled at Kaito.
