silence.
Incomparable silence.
Everyone present stared blankly at the sleepy elf sitting on the clouds, and a question popped up in their hearts:
Who is this person? ? ?
Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Kokot also reacted, sticking out half of his tongue, scratching the back of his head, and said with a smile:
"Oh, sorry, I forgot."
"You have become the emperor now. Do as the Romans do. I should call you Your Majesty."
Others were extremely confused.
This familiar tone, and the feeling in these words.
It seems...the person who came is some kind of big shot.
Aubrey was smiling, making it impossible to tell that he was a majestic emperor.
"Congressman Kokot."
"I still remember the last time we saw each other. My father had not passed away at that time."
Member of Parliament?
Another one?
This group of people immediately looked at Kokot, feeling surprised in their hearts.
The most important thing is that she was brought here by Leah Cravenna.
How many councilors does the Cravenna family have?
Some people took further notice of His Majesty's words.
His Majesty said... During the last meeting, the previous emperor had not passed away yet?
That means... Your Majesty and she are old acquaintances.
That's at least more than thirty years.
After all, Emperor Aubrey only took office when he was in his twenties.
How old must this congressman be? ? ?
Oberly said slowly:
"With your status, you deserve a seat...but now it seems that you don't really need it."
Aubrey was referring to her following Leah, the vassal of his courtiers.
However, the elf of the abandoned house obviously did not realize the emperor's deep meaning. He just yawned, stretched, looked at the clouds under him, and said in a daze:
"Ang, it's really not necessary."
"But you don't have to call me Congressman, I'm working for Victor now."
…
! ?
After a period of silence, the people in the entire palace suddenly became shocked.
"What!? A member of the Mages Council actually works for Victor?"
"What ability does Victor have that can make the former congressman do this willingly?"
"This congressman is still an old acquaintance of His Majesty!"
Everyone began to chatter in the palace, and for a while, the entire palace became a little chaotic.
What turned out to be even more shocking was yet to come. The emperor said as if he was referring intentionally:
"This kid Victor, will he even work for the next Elf Queen?"
The next Elf Queen! ?
The heavyweight news was so dense that all the nobles present were unable to react.
The entire palace seemed to have become a place for the two to chat. The words thrown out one after another were like bombs dropped into the bottom of a calm lake, causing waves of tens of meters high.
Obviously Victor is not in the palace, but every word, every word.
Everything points to Victor.
At this moment, everyone understood.
The elf in front of her turned out to be a queen who was about to ascend the throne.
No wonder she looks so young, but the maturity in her words feels like she has lived longer than the emperor.
Because the longevity of the elves cannot be faked.
Even an elf who is more than three hundred years old still has the same splendor as a human in his teenage years.
Elves are very mysterious beings. They can feel powerful natural energy and are even more likely to receive blessings from gods than humans.
Even some people who are favored by elves will be very lucky.
This special existence lives in a very secretive place and is difficult to detect, let alone anyone who dares to capture the elf.
This behavior can easily lead to huge disasters.
At this time, the return of the eldest prince was completely overshadowed by the appearance of this elf.
She made everyone feel so unreal.
"I can't help it, I can't help myself."
Kokot complained with some annoyance, and then seemed to realize something.
"Oh, are you talking about something? Then I should have disturbed you, so I'll shut up."
"You guys keep talking, I'm just here to protect this girl."
Kokot pointed to Liya beside him, lay down on the cloud, and then fell asleep.
However......
At this moment, no one knew what to say anymore.
The eldest prince was still kneeling on one knee, and almost everyone had forgotten about him.
This should have been a glorious moment for the eldest prince.
Realizing that everyone's eyes were looking towards her, Liya finally made a move.
She smiled, bowed to His Majesty, and said slowly:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Brother, he is preparing for Her Royal Highness the Princess's course, so I will come on his behalf."
There is nothing wrong with this. The person who asked Victor to be the princess's teacher is the emperor. Now that he can't come because of the princess, he really can't fault him.
What's more.
Victor Klevenner is a current congressman.
A prince alone is not enough to attract a parliamentarian.
Liya turned to look at the eldest prince who was kneeling on one knee, her eyebrows slightly raised, but her tone contained the most sincere congratulations.
"His Royal Highness is famous far and wide. The news of your killing of the demon dragon has spread all over the north and south of the empire. No one knows about it."
"My brother also said that you are already half as powerful as His Majesty."
But many people heard the strangeness in her words.
Half the majesty.
Isn’t it just half?
Aubrey was able to kill a dragon by himself at the age of seventeen. You are over thirty and you still have to lead an army...
Maybe it’s not even half way yet.
These words are somewhat heart-wrenching.
Liya didn't seem to care, she covered her mouth and chuckled, and continued:
"Your Highness."
"You are really a great hero."
Albany was still kneeling on the spot, but others could only see his still straight back.
No one knew what the eldest prince was thinking, but everyone knew it.
This glory that belonged to the eldest prince was eventually destroyed to the point that no one was left alive after the arrival of the Cravenna family.
Aubrey waved his hand, looked at Albany who still bowed his head and knelt on one knee, and said lightly:
"Get up, Albany."
"After a long journey, you should go back and rest."
"...Yes, Father."
Albany stood up slowly, dragging his clanking armor, and slowly walked out of the palace.
But Oweise looked at the departure of his royal brother, but he was not very happy in his heart.
This moment was accompanied by the emperor's attitude.
Many nobles suddenly understood what was going on.
At some point, the Cravenas were no longer limited to their status as earls.
With various titles attached to them, it seems that they no longer need to play so-called house with these princes like ordinary nobles.
…
"Ha! So cool!"
Liya held a glass of wine and drank it in big gulps.
In the dim tavern, Liya sat in front of the wooden table, holding an oversized wine glass and shouting.
After one glass, her face turned rosy.
Liya has never drank. As a businessman, she needs to keep a clear mind at all times.
But today, she really felt what it meant to be comfortable.
Those ugly nobles looked at each other in shock.
The pleasure of not having to communicate falsely with these guys anymore.
She didn't even need to care about the prince's attitude, even if she was mocking the eldest prince in front of His Majesty.
Of course, Liya knew very well why she could do all this.
She has an upright brother.
However, the hero beside him cannot be forgotten. Liya raised her wine glass and said loudly.
"Thanks to you, Kokot, why don't you take a sip too."
Kokot held a large wine glass and sat opposite Liya, looking at the large glass of wine in front of him with some distress.
She had never drunk this kind of wheat wine.
As an elf, even in the tribe, she drank fruit wine made from nectar and delicious fruits.
Liya looked at Kokot with a smile, then raised her wine glass and took another sip of wine for herself.
Yes, this is an excuse.
When Victor asked her to bring Kokot, Liya understood Victor's intention.
A former congressman, Kokot's value is not only her former congressman status and her current fourth-level strength.
After staying in the Mages Council for decades, even if Kokot was a pig, she would still have countless followers.
Besides, she is an elf.
With Kokot by her side, Liya could completely ignore the ugly faces of the nobles, and even mock the eldest prince whom she hated the most.
As for why she hates it.
I've never met you, yet you want to marry me?
Liya didn't want to be a tool in that kind of marriage, and when she got a background that was enough to ignore the prince, she would use this momentum to the extreme.
Victor doesn't even need to teach her these.
Soon, Liya drank a little too much, felt unclear, and her vision became a little blurry.
Her words started to become a little garbled.
In the end, she forgot where she was, fell down on the wine table, and fell asleep.
Without even realizing it, a hand was on her shoulder.
"How much did she drink?"
Victor's voice sounded faintly, and Kokot held the big wine glass and yawned.
"Just two drinks. To be honest, her ability to drink is not as good as mine."
Victor looked at the eight empty cups in front of Kokot and raised his eyebrows.
"You're too humble."
Kokot has been yawning frequently. Her amount of exercise today has obviously exceeded the standard, so she continued:
"Now that you're here, I'll go back first."
The clouds outside were floating and floating into the private room. Kokot fell onto the clouds, and the clouds flew along the window and left the room with her.
Victor looked at Liya who was very drunk and was thinking about how to take her back.
Looking at Liya who was completely collapsed on the table, he finally gave up the idea of taking people to teleport away.
Taking someone to teleport requires the other person to have a clear mind and clearly understand that they are being teleported.
Otherwise, it is very likely to fall into a random void in the turbulence of space.
He tried to help Liya up, but it was obvious that she was in such a bad state that she could not walk normally.
So, he could only lean down, put Liya's hands on his shoulders, and carry her behind his back.
Without the shoulder position, Vega had no place to stand.
It could only stand on top of Victor's head, grabbing his hair into a bird's nest.
"...Victor?"
Liya sounded a little confused, but she soon received a reassuring response.
"Um."
Liya, who was carried on her back, narrowed her eyes slightly and giggled against his broad back.
"I know...Hiccup, you wanted me to vent my anger, so you let...Kokot follow me."
"thank you."
Victor did not answer, but casually placed a bag of Geo on the wine table, and then created a piece of wind-controlling magic in his hand that made his figure extremely light.
He just carried Liya and walked along the window.
Under the night sky, Victor took Liya and flew smoothly towards home.
His speed was just right, and with the smoothness of his magic, there wasn't even a sound of wind around him.
As a result, Victor clearly heard the girl’s soft murmur behind him:
"Brother...when I was little."
"Why...don't you like me."
call……
Magic seems a little less stable.
Gradually, the long-lost wind blew past Victor's ears.
Like an answer, like silence.
