Chapter 63: A Strange Feeling
The first day of the summer solstice festival, which was supposed to be happy and lively, ended in chaos.
Due to the terrorist attack after the ". P's rapid intervention minimized property damage and casualties among civilians and tourists. As for the three places that were attacked separately, they are currently suspended due to serious damage and urgently need to be repaired by the Imperial Capital City Hall. Faced with this situation, Mayor Regnitz was slightly injured and could not get out of the line of fire, dragging his hanging arms and continuing to devote himself to work.
Thanks to the efforts of the heightened gendarmes, the panic was finally contained. As a result, although many of the scheduled programs were cancelled at short notice, the students of Group VII were given the remaining two days of so-called "vacation" - all expenses from the royal family and they could enjoy the next festival to their heart's content, which was a small thought.
The "Railway Gendarmerie" and the Imperial Intelligence Service seem to have anticipated the existence of this group of terrorists calling themselves the "Imperial Capital Liberation Front" early on, and even guessed the route of attack and escape. Immediately after the attacks on the three sites were over, Captain Claire Livet of the gendarmerie sent a large number of soldiers into the underground waterways to search the underground waterways - and finally found an ancient cemetery that had been blown to pieces. There is no doubt where the terrorists ended up fleeing from, and this last explosion was what they did to cut off the tracking.
In this regard, the students naturally liked to hear that the original project was canceled, and they also earned two days of vacation for nothing, if it were not for the fact that this was at the cost of the terrorists causing a lot of riots, it can be said that it is quite worth celebrating.
"Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude...... Thank you. Elfin made a standard ninety-degree bow - and Elphine, relieved, finally remembered who had saved her. For Hailiga, a peer, even honorific titles are used.
It is worth mentioning that the way Alfin looked at Heliga was no longer mixed with banter or other similar emotions. In other words, this should be the legendary impress.
But when he thought of the bloody storm that was coming, he couldn't be happy about it.
"Her Royal Highness...... Forget it. Heiliga smiled bitterly and gently helped Alfin up, "Actually, strictly speaking, I haven't been by Her Royal Highness all the time, and it's my responsibility to let Her Royal Highness be frightened. ”
"Brother Huang has told me everything...... Mr. Haliga was a reinforcement he had brought in, and he had to protect the other guests besides me. "So it's also necessary to explore the surrounding situation...... It wasn't a remiss to not be inside the venue all the time. ”
“…… Well, that's the same thing. Still, I'd like to be closer to you if possible. Helliga touched the back of his head, Elfin's frankness and sensibility made him feel a little more comfortable, "Speaking of which, Your Highness the Imperial Daughter, since you are a peer, you should not use honorifics on me...... Sounds weird. ”
"Huh...... That's right. Elphin winked mischievously, "I see—Helliga." In exchange, at least privately, can you call me by my name? I know that I will not ask you to change what you call me in public out of courtesy, but in private, at least ......"
Speaking of the back, Elfin's voice became quieter and quieter, and his head gradually lowered.
"Poof......" "Haha......" Suddenly, for no reason, the two laughed out loud at the same moment.
"Uh-huh...... It's going well, it's going well. Outside the door, a blonde boy was listening to the movement in the room and nodded with satisfaction, which aroused the curiosity of the blonde boy next to him.
"Brother? What progress? The boy next to him was none other than Oliebat's half-brother, the future crown prince of the Empire, Cedric. He originally came with his brother to visit his sister, but he didn't expect his brother to hide outside the door and eavesdrop on the movement inside after hearing the movement in the room. He was far away, so he couldn't hear anything, so he could only ask curiously.
"Shh Olibart motioned for him not to speak, "This is your sister's life's work. ”
“???” Cedric was confused, what was going on.
"I see—Elfyn." Inside the house, the two of them had come to their senses, "Speaking of which, Elfin Temple...... Elfin, originally scheduled, you don't have any events to attend tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, right? ”
"yes...... The last carefree summer solstice festival ended like this. Elphine said, "Ah...... I will be sixteen years old by this time next year, and after I officially enter the social world, I will be busy with all kinds of social interactions during the three days of the summer solstice festival......"
"Specifically, let's dance with the big boys from all over the country." Heliga snickered.
"yes...... Basically, that's how to say it. Privately, Elfin didn't mind this kind of joke of a small scale, and said as he went, "How did this come to be said by civilians?" Blind date? Anyway, it's something like that. When I think of this, I envy you a lot...... Not only did I have the opportunity to travel around the world since I was a child, but I also met a true love like Miss Fei, and there was no pressure from my family...... Hmmm......" Elfin's voice lowered again, but this time it seemed a little different from the last time.
"......" Helica's smile froze. What Fei said some time ago made him feel a little subtle.
"Well, as a boy, Heliga had to be more careful with the girl's thoughts. Even if Miss Fei is not a girl in the boudoir like me, she is still a girl. Seeing Helliga's expression, Elfin naturally understood what was going on, "If there's any problem—just talk to her openly and honestly." Be accountable to yourself. ”
“…… Be. I didn't expect to be counted out by Elfin on emotional issues, Heiliga was surprised at first, and then quickly replied, nodding yes. Although he felt that things had become more absurd: wasn't it she who made Fei misunderstand himself.
But...... It doesn't seem to be all that. Fei's words seem to have had a similar expression to herself a long time ago, but her attitude hasn't changed much since then.
She looks like that...... What does that mean exactly? Heiliga fell into deep contemplation.
Knock knock. There was a knock at the door, probably because Olibart finally felt that it was almost time, Heliga thought. He had already spotted the sneaky figure outside the door.
"Brother? Come in. "The room is Elfin's, so she's the only one who can invite someone in.
