Maximel Castle, Office of the Government Representative of Liber.

Yuria, the conscientious captain of the guard, reported to Queen Alicia: "Your Majesty, Lane and Her Royal Highness the Princess have secretly climbed over the wall and left the palace. ”

"Got it." Alicia's expression was calm, and her eyes never took off the papers.

"Do you need me to send someone to follow?" Yulia continued to ask.

"Well, I said Yulia, you should learn to be a little flexible." Cassius, who was lazy on the couch, yawned lazily.

"It is the duty of the pro-guards to protect Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess." Yulia replied scrutinically.

"Hmm." Cassius knew Yulia's character, and while his face was full of black lines, he still patiently guided, "Let me ask you, Lane and Her Royal Highness the princess are bent on leaving, can the guards stop them?" ”

"I can't." Yulia shook her head and said, "Unless it is the brigadier general who personally intervenes, or I lead more than half of the members of the personal guard team to surround it, no one can stop Her Royal Highness the princess and Mr. Ryne, who are bent on leaving." ”

"Then let me ask you again, with Li En with you, does Her Royal Highness the princess need to worry about her safety?"

"No, you don't. Although I am unwilling, even I may not be able to do a better job than Mr. Lane in terms of guarding. Yulia was a little gloomy. Guarding dignitaries is a regular task for guerrillas, and Lane has a successful experience of escorting the princess back to the royal capital.

"That's not the end of it." Cassius spread his hands helplessly, "You send someone to stop it, you can't stop it, not only is it unnecessary to follow the protection, but it may also reveal their identities, I think they must have dressed up in disguise." ”

"As you might expect, not only did they change their clothes, but they also wore sunhats and sunglasses, which were not very familiar to people and could not be recognized. Moreover, Kiku also followed. Yulia said it all.

"Then what are you worried about!" Cassius called a hater who hated iron but not steel, "If you don't change your too rigid character, you really can't get married, and I don't know how you and Mura fell in love." ”

"Brigadier General!" Yulia blushed.

"It's a little feminine when you look at it this way." Cassiusto chisted and snorted meaninglessly.

"I feel the same way." Alicia actually answered, "Looks like it's time for me to teach you a little bit about grooming." ”

"Even Your Majesty!" Yulia nearly collapsed.

(In the Sky Rail SC, Cassius once said that Yuria's moves are too straight, and the way the warriors move is closely related to her character, as is Yulia's own character, which is both her strength and her disadvantage.) ）

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

On the other side, a young man and woman who managed to sneak out of the royal city held hands and walked on the boulevard, naturally exuding a kind of warmth. However, their words are not the love words between young men and women that outsiders see, but topics closely related to the international situation.

Klos is a serious person, and it would be nice for her to have Rien hold her hand before she had completed her study assignment. As for Li En, he didn't dare to take an inch after taking a big advantage, and analyzed the situation for the princess he guarded.

"As you know, Crossbell is arguably the most complex place in the entire continent of Western Semlia. The forces on the ground and underground are fighting for this tempting piece of cake, creating unprecedented prosperity and breeding unimaginable evil. On the surface, the financial, commercial, and tourism industries are unprecedentedly developed, but the black market, money laundering, and smuggling are all the same in private. These things should have reached your ears, after all, after the mutation is over, you have increased your infiltration there. ”

"How could you" Kross did know, through the report sent by Richard's R&A research firm.

"Hehe, if you don't have this ability, how can I give you a lesson." Li En gently squeezed the girl's weak and boneless palm, and said with a smile, "Crossbell's two biggest forces are naturally the two suzerains of the empire and the republic, why there is such a strange phenomenon, you must have learned, I won't say more." Secondly, there is the government of the autonomous region and the guerrilla associations. Many people regard the autonomous state government as a puppet, but it is not. Although many members of parliament were co-opted by the empire and the republic, McDowell, the former mayor and current speaker of the House, amassed considerable capital. After the arrest of former Speaker Harutman, the election of the current mayor Dita has strengthened this force, and I don't need to say more about the power of the first chaebol. (Rhine won't tell Liber about Project Misfire, lest it cause some immeasurable repercussions.) ）

"Well, President Dita also has a lot of influence in Liber, too." Kloss nodded.

"On the part of the association, it is because of the rampant evil forces and the inability of the police to do something - remember, it is the inability to do it under the constraints of the system, not the unwillingness to do it - that the guerrilla association, whose first priority is to protect the general public, has gained unprecedented prestige. Every guerrilla resident there has a B-level rating or above, and the second senior brother Arios is an extraordinary-level existence, known as the patron saint of Crossbell. It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of one branch of Kezhou is equal to all the guerrillas who attacked Liber's Ark, and there is even a surplus. As for me, because of the incident I told you before, I have accumulated considerable contacts in the government and associations, and the turmoil there is generally not hidden from me, so I dare to boast about Haikou. "What Lane is talking about is the Joachim incident, and it was this incident that promoted Lixia, who has been playing soy sauce, to grade B. (The association's system is really relaxed, you can do it if you want to, and you can rest if you don't want to do it.) ）

"I see, Dawn, you're amazing." Kross was really proud of her boyfriend, and her charming appearance made Rien can't help but poke her cheek.

"Of course, as a representative of the non-direct interest party, you just need to know some things, and you don't need to go too deep." Seeing that the heat was almost over, Lane began to give her advice, "Since this trade conference is being held in Crossbell, the main theme must be the contest between our empire and the republic, that is, the stage between Prime Minister Osborne and President Smith. What kind of strategy and policy the two of them will use will not be known until they come to power. You just need to follow Liber's principle of neutrality, do not help each other, and then say something that stands on the moral high ground, and the mud. ”

"But," there was a struggle on Kloss's face, and the good virtue of kindness never eroded from her.

"Silly girl, there is an old saying in the East, in his position, he seeks his government. Compared to the monsters of Osborne and Smith, we young people were too young. Lee's free hand helped her support her pure white sunhat, "If there is a little flaw, you may be eaten without even a bone." If you really want to break their wrists with them, you have to go out with your grandmother or my senior brother to have some possibility. I mean, of course, one person alone, who in the case of Cross Bell is in a sense the same. You should be clear that if those two jointly propose some proposals, there is no point in opposing them with the other participating countries. ”

"I," Kloss clenched her lip, "understood. ”

"This is my Royal Highness the Princess." Lane smiled slightly, "Do you know what I admire about you the most?" ”

Kloss shook her head and at the same time, a curiosity also rose in her heart, she had been in love for so long, but she had never heard him ask this question.

"Rationality and persistence coexist." Li En smiled slightly, "Estelle's courage and Joshua's relentlessness are certainly admirable, but your rational persistence is the most dazzling in my heart." I won't rush forward regardless of the bleeding until my head is bleeding, and I won't give in without a bottom line because of the strength of the enemy, so you are the pearl in my heart. ”

"Lane" Kolotia looked up and looked into Lane's eyes through two sunglasses, "So, aren't you the same?" Persist but not be reckless. ”

"Haha, so we're a couple." Rien said as he picked up the pretty face that was close at hand.

This time, instead of being shy and running away, Kloss bravely kissed Lane on the lips.

"Chirp~" A white falcon swept through the air and let out a crisp chirp.
