Chapter 7: A Sudden Mandate

In the atmosphere of unexpectedly smooth conversation, before you know it, the sun is about to set below the western horizon. And the three of them, who didn't have time to settle their lunch properly, were already rumbling with hunger at this moment. So before Elphin called dinner with the communication in the courtyard, the discussion finally stopped. Of course, it was mainly Helliga who was explaining to Elyse unilaterally, and answering various questions from Elyse from time to time, while Elfin was just a spectator.

The relationship between Elyse and the princess Elphine can also be seen from this: under normal circumstances, such a move would be regarded as a disrespectful and rude manner. But Elphine didn't mind Elyse's behavior at all, and even intentionally or unintentionally led her to develop topics, which made Helliga look at it very strange - what is the origin of this girl?

"That...... Before you know it, it's already so late. Finally, after barely noticing the time at this moment under the protest of her stomach, and the fact that she had delayed the young man in front of her for a whole afternoon, Elysée realized what she had done, so she apologized with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry to take up so much of your time......"

"Huh...... It's okay, it's a bit beyond my expectations, but it's still quite rewarding. "Heiliga didn't have any plans to book in advance, even if she accompanied the two of them for an afternoon, there was nothing to complain about," on the contrary, this young lady's studious heart is indeed admirable...... Pardon me, but I didn't think that Santa Astraya, who was taught by the Imperial tradition, would not teach these things......"

"Huh...... Don't be inhibited. Elyse replied generously: "Because of the family education, my brother and I have been more or less nurtured because of our father...... My father said that the duty of a nobleman to the Empire, whether male or female, was to protect the people of the realm from harm...... Therefore, learning this kind of knowledge is also compulsory. ”

"Very advanced concept." "Both men and women have the ability to shoulder the same responsibilities and the qualifications to learn the same knowledge...... Although women were generally not exposed to politics and military content in the traditional aristocratic education of the Empire, I personally have always felt that such a bias was inappropriate. ”

"yes...... That's what my father said. Elyse nodded, "I didn't expect that Mr. Heliga not only has a very unique opinion in this regard, but also is very open-minded. ”

"After all, I don't stay in the aristocratic circles of the empire all year round, so I naturally get some free-spirited atmosphere." "Miss Elyser's father is admirable compared to me," said Helliga, half-jokingly...... It's obviously the older generation from a few decades ago, but it has such a forward-thinking that transcends the times...... Anyway, I've been talking all afternoon, and I don't know which lady you are...... Can you take the liberty of asking for your last name? ”

"Huh...... It was also a faux pas for me not to report the report as soon as possible. Elysée stood up and bowed very standardly, "My father is the lord of the northern part of the empire...... Baron Schwarzer. ”

Shu Huaze...... No wonder. Heiliga suddenly realized, "I have always heard that Baron Shu Huaze's family has a good relationship with the royal family...... It is no wonder that Miss Elysée and Her Royal Highness also have this kind of friendship. ”

"Huh...... Not exactly. Elfin interjected with a smile, with a somewhat playful look, "Although Baron Schwarzer's house is also one of the factors that make Elyse trustworthy...... But the main thing is ...... Hmm, don't you think Elyse's kid is very cute? ”

"Your Highness the Princess." Elyse blushed and grumbled coquettishly.

"Huh...... Okay, no more teasing you. Elphine touched her friend's head, "That's right...... Then again, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Haliga seems to be in that older brother's special class? ”

"Well...... "Special Branch VII Class." Heiliga nodded, "In fact, I was delayed for almost three months because of a delay in the Crossbell area...... Well, wait...... The reason why Her Royal Highness specifically mentioned this is ......"

Heliga was keenly aware of why—the name "Shu Huaze" must have been heard somewhere.

"Ahh Hearing this, Elyse was slightly startled imperceptibly, "Mr. Heliga...... Is it my brother's ......? ”

"Huh?" Elyse's reaction was very unnatural, which made Heliga even more strange. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something—if I thought of Elyse's reaction, it was—

"Elyse's elder brother...... Is it called Ryane? He thought about it for a moment and made sure that he had not misremembered the name on the file—Heliga's mind began to recall all sorts of information about that person, that he was from a certain aristocratic background in the north, that he had a younger sister, and that he was one of the local aristocratic families who had a good relationship with the royal family—it was completely right.

"Ahh That's right! It's my brother! Elysée said happily, and she was even happier with such an astonishing coincidence, "I didn't expect Mr. Heliga and his brother to be classmates......

"Huh...... Probably this is fate. Heliga was also taken aback by such a coincidence, "Miss Elysée is so intelligent and gentle...... Your brother must be a good guy to get along with. ”

"Yes......" Speaking of the topic of her brother, the smile on Elyse's face no longer seemed to be as natural as before.

"What's wrong?" Heliga immediately sensed this, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

"I ...... No...... Well, it's nothing, Mr. Haliga didn't do anything wrong......" Elyse, who seemed to want to say something at some point, shook her head again.

"You...... This is an opportunity to be well seized. Elphine looked at this scene with a dissatisfying look, "Since you care so much about what he thinks...... Why don't you just ask him how it is? This is a great opportunity. ”

“…… Hey, I see. With a sigh, as if to make up some kind of determination—in the eyes of the dazed Heliga, Elyse turned around with a determined expression: "Mr. Heliga...... It's a bit rude, but it'...... Can you entrust me with a letter to my brother? ”

"Hmm...... It could be ......," Helriga was a little strange, "but if it's just a letter, wouldn't it be okay to use the post office in the imperial capital?" ”

"Huh...... Elysée seems to have some misunderstanding with her brother, which makes it difficult for her to speak. Elphine thoughtfully took over the conversation, "So if Mr. Heliga is their go-between......

“…… Okay...... I agreed. It felt a little strange, but Elfin clearly meant to say yes. I don't know what the reason for this is...... But if you just send a letter, you probably won't have any problems.

Alfin on the side looked at the relieved Elysée and smiled slightly.
