Ready to go, Olibat Leezer Arnol, Prince of the Erebonian Empire, will return to the imperial capital Heimdall aboard the high-speed cruiser El Saiu.

Now, he is saying goodbye to Her Majesty in the main hall of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, I am grateful to you for taking care of you." Olibat, dressed in a black-rimmed red gown, bowed to courtesy, noble and elegant at the same time, and his image and demeanor were impeccable, "He even agreed to my unreasonable request to return home in "El Saiyu", and he will repay this favor several times more in the future." ”

"Prince Olibat is serious." Queen Alicia smiled gently, "It is only natural to send such a state guest to His Highness with "El Saiyu", and we are the ones who have been helped by His Highness many times. ”

"If you have the chance, be sure to visit Liber again." Princess Kolotia, who was beside the queen, was dressed in a white dress, and her temperament was more mature than when she was first crowned princess, "At that time, Estel and they should also come back, and we will welcome you grandly." ”

"I'm looking forward to it." Olibart smiled heartily, "So, Estelle, they're almost out of Liber too." ”

"No, now they're preparing for a trip in Loliente." Cassius, Ayyo's father, who was also in the temple, explained, "I am ready to see them off when the time comes." ”

"I see," Olibart nodded, "The Hamel ruins are still under lockdown, but I'll take care of them and let them in." Please say hello to both of them on my behalf. ”

"Understood, Your Royal Highness, thank you very much." Cassius at this moment is not a brigadier general of the kingdom, but a father of two children.

"Nothing, these are nothing more than trivial trifties compared to what they have done for me. And we have received a lot of help from Mr. Cassius, and without your help, we would not have been able to stop the divisions of the Imperial Army so smoothly. ”

"Hehe, that's what I'm going to say." Cassius's eyes flashed, "And I think you should have noticed that that kind of development is also within the scope of the other party's expectations, the "Iron, Blood, Prime Minister", etc. ”

Olibat fell silent, but Kolotia, who was not far away, was surprised.

"That's true." Queen Alicia apparently saw through this, "In fact, it would not be beneficial for Erebonia to suppress Liber in that situation, but the only possibility was to develop a steam chariot that was considered inefficient, and for this purpose, it was possible"

"In order for the nations to know what the Imperial Army can still do even in the event of a cessation of conduct." Olibat said, "I'm afraid that's what he's really for." ”

Kolotia exclaimed, and she was the only one present, kept in the dark from beginning to end.

"That's exactly how I noticed it." Cassius looked meaningful, I don't know if it was Oliebat, Prime Minister Osborne, or Rien, who gave the hint early, "The phenomenon of the cessation of the guiding force is still an unknown phenomenon for various countries. The same thing may happen elsewhere in the future, or it may never happen again. ”

"In fact, only a small number of steam chariots were built. It was assembled in the workshop of the Ryan Fort Society, using parts of a common conductive vehicle. After the disclosure of the steam chariot, the relevant intelligence blockade was not so pervasive, and it also gave Mulla the opportunity to learn the inside story.

"In other words, in the current situation, only the Empire has mastered this technology. And in the current situation, no country has the surplus to introduce such an inefficient tank as steam power. "As a result, the implicit deterrent of the Imperial Army will be much stronger, and this is the use of war as a diplomatic tool." ”

(Let me complain, which country are you from?) If you open your mouth and close your mouth to the Imperial Army, can't you use our Imperial Army, or our army? Where is your sense of belonging? ）

"There is still such a situation" for Kolotia, a young girl who has only been in politics for more than a month, the calculation is too complicated, "and sure enough, I am far from mature enough." ”

"In this case, I guess the prime minister is extraordinary. For better or for worse, its strategic conception was two or three steps ahead of its time. Olibat sighed, "Heh, we are reckless enough to hand over the war letter to such a difficult opponent with a fierce hand." ”

"Really, it's like someone else's business." Mura's face darkened.

"It's time to focus on strengthening your footing. However, be careful not to lose yourself in your position. "Queen Alicia was instructed.

"I understand. If you lose your temper because of this, you will lose the meaning of returning to the imperial capital by "El Saiyou", and you will remember your auspicious words. ”

"One more suggestion for Your Highness, although it is not suitable for me." Cassius said with a little entanglement, "Your Highness can ask for Lane's opinion when you encounter something that you can't eat, I can't say more about some things, but Lane has roughly guessed the movement of the imperial army." My little junior brother is not an ordinary person. ”

"Eh~~~~~~~~~~ "Except for Cassius and Queen Alicia, the whole audience is demented.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Ahh Outside the main hall, on the waiting sofa, Lane sneezed widely.

"Is it a cold?" Yanelas looked at Rien with concern.

"It's not." Rien rubbed his nose, "Someone should miss me, I don't know if it's Dad, Mom, or Elyse." ”

"Lixia, Lixia, are Lane's families getting along?" Yaniras abruptly stood up from the couch. She had just found out that she was also going to Youmir this time, in other words, to meet her parents.

"You fool, what did you do?" Lixia couldn't help but laugh.

"Riene~" Seeing that Lixia didn't mean to help, Yaniras turned to Rien again.

"Gorgeous defeat for you." Rien and Lixia glanced at each other and said, "I didn't even react until this time." ”

"Woo, I'm just confused, Riene~" Yaniras shook Riene's hand nonchalantly, coquettish and cute.

"Yani is so cute, Mom and Dad will definitely like it." Rien was instantly cute, and he believed that no one could resist Yanirath's cuteness offensive.

"And what about my sister?" Lixia looked at her boyfriend with a smile. She knew very well how seriously Elysée was a brother.

"Uh" Li En grabbed his hair, his face was full of helplessness, his sister is his nemesis, he is equal to his parents, and he is alone with Elyse. If it wasn't enough to know that he had provoked a Lixia, would he blacken and cut himself?

"Is Rien's sister a difficult person to get along with?" Yanirath's heart was full of thoughts.

"Not really, Elyse is a very nice girl to get along with." Lixia changed her words, "But"

"Boom!" Before he could finish speaking, Li En's heart suddenly tightened, and an indescribable throbbing spread from the flame-shaped scar on his chest to his whole body, and the yin qi flashed away.

He clutched his chest and let out a muffled grunt.

"Lane!"

"What's wrong with you?"

Rhine did not respond to the maidens' concerns, he silently raised his head and looked at the end of the corridor—the source of the throbbing was there, and it was getting closer.

After a few moments, a line of three people appeared in view. The person in front of the head was the female official Lady Hildan, who was familiar to several people, and she did not even change her face when the executor raided the palace, but she was actually panicked at this moment.

The reason must be the two behind him.

The younger red-haired, somewhat lazy look, was Rector Arandall, who had passed by Rien at the entrance of the embassy.

And the remaining middle-aged man has a Chinese face, with well-rounded facial features, broad shoulders, and a tall posture. What's even more striking is that the sense of oppression on his body that is like a substance makes the people around him feel like they are being pressed against a boulder in their chests, and they can't breathe well.

Seeing this middle-aged man, Li En took a deep breath, slowly got up, and bowed with unprecedented respect.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister!"

He is also Lane's biological father.
