Chapter 13: Rain of Roses

The royal capital of Grantel, the airport, an ordinary regular ship with a plain appearance, is slowly taking off amid the powerful roar of the guide engine. From the outside, it is hard to imagine that the dignified Prime Minister of the Erebonian Empire is sitting in such an inconspicuous boat. However, in a sense, this can also be regarded as a kind of protection of his prominent status, commonly known as "making a fortune in silence".

At the berths of the airport, the normally busy but orderly airboats and cargo ships were now cleared. The reason is that the "Elsaiyu", which is docked outside the harbor, is preparing to set off in a sleek and streamlined form of pure white wings.

"I'm sorry for you." Olibat solemnly thanked Yulia - since he set a date for his return, Yulia, who was in charge of the matter, decided to clear all obstacles to his return on the day of his departure. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's unannounced visit, the final destination of the airship to the Duchy of Remephilia would have been delayed for several hours.

"It's nothing...... Compared to this, is that person the "Iron Prime Minister" himself...... "Yulia, who had been preparing the airship, was surprised to learn that the Prime Minister of the neighboring country had spent the night in Liber until the moment before takeoff.

"There should be a special airship, but you deliberately take a civilian ship......" Shelazard, who had come to see off Olibat and the others, was solemn and thoughtful, "It's a very small person." ”

"Hehe, that's why it's fun to challenge such an opponent." Olibart had already adjusted his mentality, and said with a smile, "I specially bothered you to see you off, Sheila, I'm sorry......"

"Because of the mission, it's just on the way." Shelazade's words are half-truthful, and it is right to go along with the mission, but this is also the task of the royal capital that she insisted on choosing by herself, and the price is to lose the job that originally belonged to her to others, "And looking at you like this, I'm afraid we won't see each other again for a long time." ”

"yes...... My dream is to be happy with a beautiful woman like you......" Olibat made such jokes without hesitation, and after the battle in Floating City, both began to slowly face up to their feelings.

"Yes, yes, in order to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, you should work hard." Shelazadeh was not an innocent little girl, and she coped with this kind of adult joke without blushing or heartbeat, "I look forward to your time to come back...... It would be nice if I could be with you until dawn. ”

"......" Olivebat's face darkened, and the handsomeness and confidence on his face disappeared in an instant. Seeing this scene, how could everyone not know that Olibat remembered the last time the hangover pill that was divided into two halves, and naturally laughed.

"Alright...... It's time to go. Yulia urged.

The regular ship "Calabria", bound for the Duchy of Remephilia, is moving at a constant speed above the clouds. Osborne and Rector stood on the deck, unconcerned about the biting wind.

"Prince Olibat...... Hehe, good results. Osborne seemed to be very happy with something, and a happy smile on his face, "Whatever he wants to do, we can take advantage of it." ”

"Because for you, all the factors are 'pawns'." Rector said lazily, "Whether it's the prince, me, the association, or even yourself......"

"yes...... That's true. This is a big chess game in which the whole world participates, and no one can stay out of it. Osborne nodded as a matter of course, completely unaware of what he had said, "a game of intense excitement that can shake the soul in the state apparatus...... Didn't you just want to see this and choose to follow me? ”

"I don't deny that...... But. Rector suddenly put on a terrifying expression, "How do you know that this chess piece won't betray you?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's okay too. Osborne's face was unwavering, "Do you think I didn't expect that possibility?" ”

"Hmph. I'm just talking about it casually. Lecter immediately put on that indifferent look again, "Then again, how are the others doing now?" ”

"Children...... Either way, it looks like it's going very well so far. If this continues, the prince's efforts will probably be in vain......" Osborne sighed and said deliberately, "I really can't help it, why don't you show mercy to your subordinates......"

"Hey...... What a wicked uncle. Rector sighed, but as if he had suddenly noticed something, he said, "I said, Prime Minister, you ...... It's better not to underestimate his presence too much. ”

"Oh?" Osborne raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Recter was saying.

And as if deliberately choosing this moment to respond to him, the clouds that were originally as calm as water broke open in an instant under the sudden strong pressure, and the "El Saiyu" suddenly emerged from the clouds, leaning firmly next to the "Calabria", walking side by side.

On the white-winged deck stood two men, one with blonde hair and white clothes, and his handsome appearance was eye-catching; The other person had black hair and black robes, and his expression was solemn, like a statue, meticulous. The appearance of Olivier and Mura made the prime minister's face look a little more surprised.

At this moment, a ghostly smile appeared on the corner of Olivier's mouth. He magically conjured a rose from his hand, threw it into the air, and then pulled out his guide gun, which hit with precision - the petals scattered in all directions, spilling onto the deck of the Calabria, on the shoulders of Osborne and Rechter.

"It's ......," Osborne frowned.

"Rose petals." Rector picked one from his shoulder and sniffed it gently.

"Passengersβ€”" At this moment, the flight attendant of the Calabria sounded the announcement, "and on the right is the famous high-speed cruiser of the Liber Royal Family, the El Saiyu. Today, His Royal Highness Prince Olibat, of the Erebonian Empire, will take this ship to the imperial capital, and the crew of His Royal Highness the Prince Toben will greet all passengersβ€”β€”"

"Thank you, Goddess, for bringing us together today. I would like to offer you beautiful roses and the blessings of the goddess on your journey, and I hope that you will return to your homeland in peace. ”

After speaking, Olibart put away his gun, and looked at Prime Minister Osborne, who was still in a sluggish state, with a hint of provocation in confidence. Then he maintained this handsome pose, and slowly disappeared into the sky with the "El Saiyu".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Idiot......" It took a long time for Recter to utter such an exclamation.

"Haha...... Hahahahaha!! Osborne let out a wild laugh after the silence, the joy in his eyes almost irrepressible, "Rect, you're right, I'm underestimating him...... How far you can devour my "Iron Prime Minister", let me look forward to it! Prince Olibat! ”
