There are not many people who can run around the palace like this.

The door was opened with a thud, and His Majesty the Emperor of Battleland appeared outside the door, and although he was running all the way, his breath was not chaotic.

The supreme ruler of Battlelance was as young as Queen Miranda, and he had short brown hair with slightly curly hair, the shortest hair near his ears, only about a centimeter, and the rest of it was pressed under a crown encrusted with jewels.

His eyes were as blue as the sky, and he had a flat mustache between the high bridge of his nose and his thin lips, which made his young face look more bold and more mature.

He wore a close-fitting black trouser with intricate patterns embroidered with gold thread, trousers over boots of the same color, and a circle of raff (evenly folded collar like a disc) around the neckline, which made him look more dignified. And on the outside of the garment was a large round cloak with red and white fur, which was long and untouched on the ground, and pinned to his chest with a large ornamental pin of pure gold.

His Majesty Raymond was very ornate and solemn, and the heavy crown on his head was only worn on formal occasions, suggesting that when Empress Miranda sent someone to invite him, His Majesty the Emperor may have been receiving important people.

In fact, Miranda was well aware of her husband's itinerary, and if it had not been for Balthazar's visit, she would have been with her husband in an audience with the minister, wearing her equally heavy crown of the queen.

His Majesty Raymond, who is also a professional powerhouse himself, obviously did not lose his breath because of the previous run, but when he opened the door and saw the people in this living room, to be exact, the children next to his wife, anyone would find that his breathing suddenly became short.

His eyes widened in disbelief, his gaze fixed on Izumi's body, but it was his wife who asked, "Honey, I heard Mrs. Bajin say, say-"

"If you heard Mrs. Barking say that our Ismail is back, then you were not mistaken." Miranda smiled at her gaffe husband, the return of her young son made her feel happy, and her words were more relaxed.

Having received an accurate answer, Raymond strode over to his wife and children, and looked down at the tea-haired boy from above, who also looked up at him, but the overly serious scrutiny of our Emperor seemed to frighten him a little.

Suddenly, Raymond bent down and picked him up, lifting him high and even turning him in circles.

"Oh, my dear Ismail, my darling." Raymond laughed, after a few laps he didn't seem to be happy, holding the spring was a messy kiss, and the kissing spring was stunned.

When the face with the stubble was pressed against the white face, it was not very comfortable, and soon Izumi's face was pierced red, and Izumi wanted to struggle, but thinking that it was his father, he decided to endure it.

It's a pity that he can endure it, but some people can't bear it.

A pair of hands reached over and snatched the spring from Raymond's arms.

Electrolux held the spring in his arms and didn't let go, he said to Raymond with a little dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to clean up the stubble." ”

Raymond, who had been interrupted by Electrolux like this and hugged his youngest son like this, saw the obvious red marks on Izumi's face, coughed a little embarrassed, and looked at Izumi eagerly: "I'm sorry baby, Dad didn't hurt you, right?" ”

"Nope." Izumi shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Dad." ”

"It's good if you don't, I'm really happy to see you back." Raymond did not shy away from expressing his feelings at all, and stretched out his hand to hug the spring.

Although it was too squeamish to be hugged around at the age of ten, Izumi still stretched out his hand to Raymond.

When I finally see my family, I can let go of everything else, right?

This time, Electrolux didn't stop him, he handed Izumi to Raymond, just wary of His Majesty the Emperor doing something bad to Izumi again.

Raymond remembered the lesson and did not pierce the young son again, but kissed him lightly on the forehead with his lips: "Welcome home, my child." ”

The simple welcome made Izumi feel the urge to cry again, and he hugged Raymond's neck tightly, buried himself around his neck, and let out a soft "um".

Unlike Miranda's soft, scented embrace, this broad chest is even a little sloppy (with the embroidery on it and the large pins that hold the cloak in place), but it's just as warm and safe to indulge in.

After enjoying the warmth of father and son, Raymond returned his young son to his wife, sat down beside him, and thanked Balthazar and Electrolux again.

Balthazar remained unrepentant, while Electrolux said that someone else had actually found the spring.

He told him that Carter and the others had met Izumi in the Magic Forest, and brought him back to Corot, and even said that Izumi had adopted him because he didn't have a hukou.

“…… If they hadn't brought the spring out, I wouldn't have had a chance to recognize him. ”

In this regard, Electrolux is also very grateful to Carter and them, because without their help, he and Izumi are likely to miss it again.

Raymond and Miranda are very grateful to these civilians who helped their children, and after hearing what happened to Electrolux, they are even more prepared to reward them.

However, the couple did not talk about it directly, but just looked at each other tacitly and talked about it in private.

At this time, Mrs. Jin, who had been missing, reappeared.

She walked into the parlor and curtsied, "Your Majesty." ”

Miranda didn't see her little daughter beside her, so she immediately understood, and asked a little helplessly, "Didn't you find Anjieya?" ”

Madame Bajin nodded: "Yes, the maids of Her Highness Angela said that she went to the garden and did not allow anyone else to follow. ”

The garden in the castle is very large, and it is really easy for a little girl to hide when no one is accompanied.

The couple was already very accustomed to their little daughter's little hobby of playing "hide and seek" at every turn, and Miranda stood up and bowed to everyone: "Please forgive me for missing the company first." ”

Then he turned to Izumi again, "Honey, can you come with me to find your sister?" ”

Izumi nodded, he was also curious about his twin sister.

Miranda took him by the hand, and mother and son left the living room.

They did not go very fast, the route was exactly the same as the one from which the spring came, and walked through the cloister up the colonnade, and Miranda walked down the stairs outside the colonnade and led the spring into the courtyard.

The royal courtyard is very beautiful, with large lawns, well-manicured shrubs, fountains for statues of goddesses, cloisters and pavilions full of flowers, all of which are breathtaking.

Knowing her little daughter well and knowing how to find her, Miranda led the spring through the lawn and flower-filled cloister to a vast labyrinth of countless roses.

"This rose labyrinth was built by your grandfather for your grandmother when he was alive, and here you can see all the varieties of roses on the continent of Oou, and when they bloom, the whole labyrinth is filled with a strong fragrance of flowers, isn't it very beautiful?" Miranda stopped at the intersection of the labyrinth and introduced her youngest son.

It's a beautiful place, Izumi takes a deep breath, and his nose is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

It is the season of roses, and this labyrinth is full of roses of various colors, and if you look down from the height, you will find that all the roses here are arranged in a cycle from dark to light and from light to dark, combining into a giant rose.

"You're waiting outside." Miranda commanded the servants who followed behind her, and walked into the labyrinth alone with Izumi.

"When you were younger, you loved to play hide and seek here." Miranda recalls that she could see her four children running around the maze while she and her husband stood on the top of the castle, smiling and watching everything in the maze.

Yes, the safety of the royal children is very important, and how can they just let the children play in it alone? Every day, there are guards on the towers of the castle who check everything in it, and if something goes wrong, someone will enter the labyrinth to check it, so Angela can leave all her servants behind and hide alone in the courtyard.

It's a pity that none of them thought of the chief maid beside An Jieya, the lady from the big noble's family who didn't look smiling (in the court and the home of the big nobles, the maid and the maid are two concepts, the former is mostly held by the lady of the noble family, and the daily work is to accompany the hostess and the master's children, and the latter is a real servant, and they are responsible for all kinds of rough work and miscellaneous things and serving the master and maids. It turned out to be the prince's secret mistress. So when she took Ismail away, the guards on the tower who saw everything had no suspicions, and only thought that the little prince was playing hide and seek and wanted to hide in a more hidden place.

Since that time, all those involved have been punished, but their children have not returned.

Miranda's hand tightened as she grabbed Izumi.

"Mom?" Izumi was caught a little painfully, and he screamed in confusion.

Miranda was shocked, squatted down, and carefully checked his hand: "I'm sorry baby, it didn't hurt you, did you?" After making sure there was nothing wrong with it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine, Mom."

Mother and son continued on their way, Miranda was familiar with the road, they turned around and walked without encountering any dead ends, and after turning a corner, Miranda spoke again.

"Your sister, Angela," Miranda didn't know how to speak, after all, reality is not always so rosy, she asked Izumi, "will you blame her?" ”

"No, it won't." Izumi shook his head, "That incident has nothing to do with Angela. ”

After knowing what had happened in the past, Izumi was glad that the captive was his own, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been able to meet his father and Shanaido, and this precious more than ten years of otherworldly life not only made him a capable adult, but also brought him all kinds of happiness and peace that he couldn't experience here.

"That's good." Knowing that he didn't blame Anjieya, Miranda breathed a sigh of relief, and she also had the spirit to talk about Anjieya.

"Angela has been depressed since you disappeared, and although we didn't say anything, she found out on her own - you were always inseparable - and Electrolux's words were a major blow to her."

"I apologize for Electrolux." Izumi apologized that Electrolux was his personal bodyguard and that he was obligated to take responsibility for him.

"I don't need to apologize, I'm actually a little grateful to him."

"There is no need to apologize, at that time, Anjieya had to ask where you went every day, but we couldn't say anything, it didn't feel good." Her youngest son was lost, but she couldn't show anything unusual in front of her daughter, and no one blamed Anjieya, because it wasn't her fault, but she still felt bad. Especially looking at the face that resembled his brother, Miranda almost couldn't hold it up several times.

"So Electrolux revealed the secret, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief."

It's just that at that time, everyone didn't expect the situation to get worse later.
