Chapter 540: Return to the Imperial Capital
Stepping on the land of the capital of God again, Xia Zhe actually has an unreal sense of returning to the city, after all, the city of Buillis in the west is still a border city, and the prosperity is still a lot worse than the imperial capital in the center of the world, it is estimated that no matter how much Xia Zhe develops the western territory, it cannot be compared with the place where the empire has been built for a hundred years.
This time, after Xia Zhe got off the airship, he did not follow the reception staff directly to the palace, but took a group of women to press the road on the wide street.
The five- and six-storey western-style buildings on both sides of the street, coupled with the endless flow of people, have given this century-old city a heavy history, even if the outside world is already chaotic, but it is still calm and peaceful.
"Lord Xia Zhe, let's go to the restaurant last time to have another meal, anyway, there is Sister Golia's treat. Alwyn circled around Xia Zhe, but his eyes kept on a familiar restaurant not far away.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, he found that it was indeed the time for lunch, and then touched his somewhat empty stomach, Xia Zhe patted Alvin's head helplessly and smiled, "Let's go, although Chaimorton has prepared a luncheon in the palace, I guess everyone doesn't like that kind of restrained atmosphere, what do you think, Golia." β
Xia Zhe looked at the "Chancellor of the Exchequer" beside him, and kept teasing in his heart, who made the other party promise to feed the female knight for a month, it was a lot of money.
However, Golia's face was flat under a bright red regular dress, "It's all your money......
The woman's words directly made Xia Zhe's good mood collapse instantly, what are you kidding, why do you spend your own money, obviously this woman promised Alwen herself.
However, Xia Zhe quickly reacted, and now not only the public funds of the Freemasonry, but also his own "private money" seem to be in charge of Golia.
"Damn, no wonder this woman used a month's worth of food money to settle Arwin without even blinking an eye...... Gloria, you remember me, and I will take revenge. γ
Although his face was full of unwillingness, Xia Zhe, who knew that he was at a loss in terms of feelings, could only swallow the depression in his stomach in the end, otherwise the result would be more than Alwyn's food expenses for a month.
With a stiff smile on his face, Xia Zhe pretended to be free and easy, "Eat, anyway, my brother has money now, so it's good for everyone to be happy...... Alvin, remember to control it, hehe. β
"Well, you just need to eat eighty percent full. The female knight nodded as if she was unusually sensible, and jumped over the otaku, excitedly grabbed Golia's arm, and dragged her towards the high-end restaurant of the Empire.
β¦β¦β¦
After eating Xia Zhe's 200 gold coins again for a meal, Xia Zhe returned to the palace with the satisfied women.
Xia Zhe, who had just arranged a place to live, was immediately summoned by the "Dragon Emperor" Caimmorton, and the otaku was accompanied by the little princess Dani and the housekeeper Christian.
"Yo, Kaimmorton, it's been a long time, thank you for your support of Freemasonry during this time, but those dragons are the pet eggs you asked me to take care of last time. Coming to the newly built giant garden of the royal family, Xia Zhe saw Kaimmorton playing with his pet.
"Xia Zhe, this is not your style, you have your own territory, and even your speech is not as casual as before. It's not going to be mature, hahaha. Caimmorton patted the huge pet in front of him and responded to Xia Zhe with a smile.
"Oh, is this the legendary dragon...... It's so small, but it's super handsome, can you give me one?" Seeing these elegant creatures exuding the aura of a top-notch predator for the first time, Xia Zhe's eyes couldn't take his eyes off anymore, but unfortunately, the otaku had some impolite attitude, which made the dragon beside Kaimmorton unnaturally swing its tail and wings.
"Okay, Xia Zhe seems to think that you have changed me, so I am really naΓ―ve...... Do you remember it?" said the young emperor, pointing to a red young dragon and asking Xia Zhe, "The little one still remembers the feeling of comfort when you washed its eggshells." β
"Uh...... It can't be some grumpy giant eggs, to be honest, those two days are really not people's lives......" Xia Zhe, who was suddenly lost, could no longer be interested in those young dragons, after all, some past events that are difficult to look back on are vivid.
"Cousin Emperor. Dani, who was standing behind Xia Zhe, saw Xia Zhe's depressed mood, pulled the other party, said hello casually, and then walked to the side and sat down quietly under Christian's guidance.
"Dani, being so cold to my cousin hurts my cousin's heart. β
"If you have something to say, Xia Zhe still wants to have afternoon tea with me. "Even after more than a year, Dani still can't let go of her father's death, especially Kaimmorton is also one of the accomplices in the murder of his father, and as a sinner of the empire, the Grand Duke of Pit Viper, he is still alive in the forbidden room of the palace, which makes the former princess very disgusted with this place and the people here.
Kaimmorton looked at his cousin, who didn't want to reconcile with him at all, and could only shake his head helplessly, "Xia Zhe, let's make a long story short, otherwise Dani may hate me even more." β
Xia Zhe is not good at interjecting in this kind of matter, "I will persuade Dani over there, let's get down to business first." β
"There are two things that came to you this time, one is that the "Three Kings Conference" have you thought about how to convince everyone to agree with the blood heir?"
Kaimmorton went straight to the point, leaving Xia Zhe silent for a while.
"Well, do you think I'd consider such a thing? And I'm willing to take part in this kind of troublesome thing this time, because there are even worse things that need to be explained to you, and I believe you have some understanding of the chaotic situation during this time. Xia Zhe spread his hands indifferently, but the "bad thing" he said still made Caimmorton frown.
"Manju Warsaw...... Is it so much trouble? It makes you feel bad?"
Hearing Kaimmorton say the name, Xia Zhe was still a little surprised, "It turns out that you don't know anything, so I can explain it from the beginning." β
Next, Xia Zhe complained about his depression during this time, and the more he listened, the more surprised he became, and in the end, he couldn't even maintain the demeanor of an emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor's deep inner turmoil even affected the few young dragons playing wantonly around him.
After watching them fall back to Caimmorton and look wary of Xia Zhe, the new emperor regained a little of his spirits.
"Sorry, they actually like you very much, after all, you also took care of their eggshells, and you remember the smell. Caimmorton calmed the fabled creatures before he began to talk to Xia Zhe again.
It's just that these lethal creatures continue to release supreme coercion, as if they are venting the anxiety and uneasiness of being the owner of Calimoton.
