Chapter 165: The Emperor and the "Thor"
The conversation with Princess Priscilla was pleasant, but it was brief. There was no other reason than that the purpose of the trip was that the Heliga had already ended his previous meeting with the other man, and sent guards to invite him into the inner room.
Although Priscilla is a royal concubine, after a series of observations by Heliga, she found that she does not have a bit of aristocratic shelf, but has a thoughtfulness and generosity that people can just feel - no wonder Oliebart has many reasons to feel upset about his father not choosing his biological mother, but he willingly accepted this stepmother, and never said a bad word about her.
"Heliga is a little nervous?" Fei asked as he walked.
"It's kind of ...... After all, this seems to be His Majesty the Emperor's own will, not arranged by that guy from Oliebat. Heiliga whispered, he didn't know what medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, maybe he just wanted to see this name that he had heard many times recently.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Fei pursed her lips, she was not good at dealing with such high-ranking figures.
"Hmm...... Probably. But don't forget what I told you earlier. When the time comes, you'll just do nothing. Well, this was my negligence, I should have let you learn a little bit of aristocratic etiquette or something...... Let's not talk about it now, but in the future, it is estimated that it will be indispensable to socialize on various occasions......"
"Why do you want me to accompany you? Isn't there a royal family like Elfin? Fei gave Helriga a half-truthful look, "I'll just take a look." ”
"What do you say?" Heiliga was a little weak-minded, and Fei deliberately mentioned Alfin at this time, which was really a bit deliberate.
"It's here...... Please knock on the door before entering. The voice of the guard leading the way interrupted the somewhat flirtatious conversation between the two men - this guard was indeed a model of his profession, and he did not hear the lively conversation and speech just now, and carried out his duty faithfully without any misrepresentation.
"......" glanced at each other, and the two tacitly stopped arguing.
"Please come in." Heliga tapped the mahogany door, and a somewhat lazy voice came from inside the door.
"It's rude." Heliga pushed open the door—and sure enough, in a room with a simple and unobtrusive décor, but exuding a natural and harmonious aesthetic, on one side of the sofa sat a blonde man dressed in a gold, red, and black dress of a very high-quality material, with a seemingly simple, but in fact well-groomed goatee - there was no doubt that this was Yukent Leezer Arnoor, the ruler of the Erebonian Empire, the emperor himself.
However, the emperor is not sitting here alone. Not far from him, there sat another burly man, who had been watching them from the moment they first entered the door. The man was dressed in a gray imperial officer's robe, with a reddish-brown cloak on his back, a burly figure, black hair, and piercing eyes—most likely the emperor's bodyguard. But since he was able to sit next to him, it meant that this was not an ordinary guard, but a person with status.
"Thank you two." The emperor still spoke in the same light tone, if it weren't for the fact that Heliga could be sure that he was the emperor based on the current situation, maybe he would only regard the man in front of him as an ordinary person with a cold personality and didn't like to deal with people—there was no special feeling that the emperor gave people, "Although you probably already know it...... I am Yukent Leezer Arnoor, Emperor of the Erebonian Empire. This time, you have specially accepted my invitation. After speaking, the emperor gestured with a look, and the maid who had been standing aside just now put black tea on the coffee table in front of the sofa opposite the emperor, and her movements were extremely natural, and she was obviously also a servant who was proficient in the way of service.
"Sit down. It's not a formal social occasion, and given your relationship with Olybat, I don't want to impose those cumbersome etiquette on you...... What's more, the girl over there doesn't seem to be from the Empire, so such a request is even more unnecessary. The Emperor's approachability was also somewhat unexpected, and he actually broke the question that Heiliga had been worried about just now.
"Hello." Hearing this, Fei immediately calmed down.
"That's right...... Then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. Since the emperor has this attitude, then Hailiga is just like when he talked to the imperial concubine just now, and he took Fei to sit down together, and the tacit understanding of the two attracted the middle-aged male duo opposite to look at each other.
"Hmm...... That's not good. Yukente's poker face actually showed a smile for the first time, "You two are more affectionate than Jin Jian, it seems that I am wishful thinking here?" ”
"Uh......" Helliga instantly felt a little embarrassed. He is not a fool, how could he not know that His Majesty the Emperor is referring to the ambiguity between Elfin and himself? What's more, maybe Elfin would secretly tell her mother about these things, and the imperial concubine would mention these things to the emperor in private. Why does it seem that everyone is going to make fun of this these days? But I don't have the ability to refute it yet.
"Huh...... Just kidding. The Empire has laws in this regard, and other than that, I'm not going to put extra pressure on anyone in this regard. Heliga's embarrassed appearance and Fei's disdainful eyes naturally seemed to Yukent to be a happy drama, but after all, his invitation this time still had some important things, so it was not good to make the atmosphere too stiff.
"Huh...... Your Majesty does do this occasionally, but I think you're used to the character of His Highness Olibat. Mulla told me about you, too. The man who had been sitting next to the emperor just now also said.
"Hmm...... Who are you? "Being able to sit next to the emperor is naturally not a lowly person, and he just specially mentioned Mula's name - coupled with the fact that the "Fandel" clan has always served as the royal family's guard, then obviously, the strongest master in the sect will definitely stay by the emperor's side.
"Huh...... As you can imagine. I'm Mateus Fandel, the leader of the contemporary "Fandel stream". The latter did not sell much and generously admitted.
"You are Thor...... I heard your name from Uncle Jarseid. "It's not surprising that another of the Twin Walls of the Empire, the head of Fandelliu, who is as famous as the Sword of Light, and who is also the personal bodyguard of Emperor Yukent III, is here.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've heard that name. However, I had only met Victor recently...... One of the things he told me was something that surprised me. ”
Heliga did not speak. And Mateus continued: "He said that a child who had not yet learned a single trick and a half of his genre returned to the dojo after many years and took the mysterious blow of the 'Alseid-Stream' that he had done with all his might. ”
