Chapter 16 Welcome Ceremony

The grand salute and the passionate music lifted the spirits of everyone present, and it was perfect as the opening of the welcome party to welcome the return of the heroes. In addition, the ornate velvet carpet, neat royal guards and heavily armed media reporters also showed the weight of the welcome party - but all of this was not as good as the twins at the end of the carpet, known as the "Imperial Treasure". With a sincere smile on their faces, Crown Prince Cedric and Princess Elphine welcome their brother back as heroes.

As for the citizens and tourists of the imperial capital who had already heard the news and gathered around early, they were even more excited to talk about it, and at the same time they wanted to squeeze it further. Faced with this situation, the members of the Imperial Capital Garrison had to hold hands to surround the human wall, and at the same time send some people to either shout loudly or drive the excited crowd back to the safe area, so as to maintain the chaos of the scene.

"You're all set...... It is time for His Highness Olibat to play. A blue-haired woman dressed in a gray-and-white military uniform, suspected to be the commander of the garrison, gently gave the order to the other end of the communicator - at this moment of great attention, the hatch of the "Elseyeu" slowly opened amid cheers, and a handsome and dashing blonde man stepped out - it was the protagonist of the reception, Olibat Leezer Arnor. With an unprecedentedly confident smile on the corner of his mouth, his steps were calm, and the black and gold dress on his body seemed to have been carefully selected and looked particularly suitable on his body. A charming smile appeared between his lips and teeth, and he constantly waved his hand to the audience that erupted in cheers and whistling around him, which made his aura even more magnificent.

Not far behind the prince, Mura, a tall and mature loyal guard, was by his side, as always. Bearing the name of Fandel, he has long been fully prepared for all this. After that, there were representatives from the Liber royal family - in order not to be obtrusive, Heiliga also dressed up a little more low-key and mixed in.

"Is that really good? Your merits deserve the treatment of showing your face by the side of Your Highness. "When recalling Hailiga's decision a few hours ago, Mura looks very pitiful.

"There's no need for that. When you contact the media, isn't he the main target of the hype? If I go, I may steal the limelight from His Royal Highness, in this case, won't the whole plan be ruined? Besides, this appearance is related to his future political image and majesty, so naturally he should be treated well, and my words are not so concerned about too many opportunities to show his face in public. Besides, he also needs some powerful, hidden allies in the shadows, right? ”

Mulla agreed, but Heliga himself felt that it would be a waste to stay in the cabin and miss the celebration. So, after a brief discussion with Captain Yulia, Heliga disguised herself and slipped into the venue.

Of course, Helliga originally wanted Faye to come with him - but the latter didn't seem to be very comfortable with this kind of big scene, and was reluctant to come, but went back to sleep in the room inside the spaceship.

Back to the venue, the distance between the mezzanine was not long, and soon Oliebart walked up to his younger siblings, smiling gently; The little prince's childish face could not hide his excitement, and the princess Alfin on the side was also full of enthusiastic smiles - that gesture and intimacy did not seem to be fake, it seems that the relationship within the royal family is very good, it should not be a deliberate rumor from the media, but a genuine fact.

After a brief pleasantries, Cedric began to read out the welcome speech that had been prepared long ago. Hiding in the Liber Mission, Heliga and Olibart winked at each other imperceptiblyβ€”but all of this was watched by Elfin, who watched his brother's every move closely. Looking at the unattractive young man, Elfin couldn't understand what was going on - with a grunt of her head, she came up with a "bad idea".

His Royal Highness the Prince was tired of traveling, and it was naturally impossible for the Imperial Government of the host country to leave Olibat at the venue for a long time. As the afternoon approached, the lively welcome party was finally over. The guests and reporters began to disperse, leaving only scattered spectators still wandering around, still excitedly discussing what they had just seen. Subsequently, the three royal families, escorted by the guard, left the square of the airport and came to the VIP room.

It was a tiring journey, but after seeing his brother and sister, Olibat felt that his tiredness had almost been swept away - so even if he was bored during the welcome ceremony, he did not lose much interest and answered his siblings' questions with patience.

Fourteen-year-old Alphine and Cedric are at the height of their curiosity and the most rapid changes in their perception of the outside world. Coupled with the legendary experience of the royal brother, he didn't care about so much etiquette when he didn't have the public to watch, but tightly wrapped around Olibat, asking questions left and right.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In short, such a beautiful city, the jewel of an ancient civilization, fell into Lake Valyria just after losing its core strength...... And because of the occurrence of the large-scale guidance stop event, many strange landscapes at that time could not be recorded by the camera, which is a pity. ”

"Hey...... How so. Cedric's frustration was palpable.

"So...... What was it that destroyed this building? Unlike Cedric, Elfin thought a little deeper.

"The deeper reasons are complicated...... However, if we only talk about the superficial causes, that is, the direct cause and cause of the collapse of the "floating city" and the complete collapse of its power systemβ€”β€”"

"Your Highness, it's almost time." The female commander, who had been on guard duty on the sidelines, reminded her.

"Excuse me...... Captain Claire. Olibert said with a slight apology, and he stood up amid Clea's urging, "Speaking of which, Elfin, if you're interested in these things, you might as well ask Heliga, who is with meβ€”"

"Ah, that's the one my brother mentioned when he came back last time...... Looks like the son of Viscount Holtzwill's family. Elfin was impressed by the name.

"yes...... In fact, it was he who wielded the final blow to the destruction of the Floating City......" Oliebat's expression was complicated, "Anyway, if you're interested, it's definitely right to ask him as a direct experiencer." ”

"I see...... So, where can you find him? Elfin nodded approvingly, narrowing his eyes with the signature sly grin of Olibat.

"He's ......," Olibat understood, chuckling softly and putting his mouth to Elfin's ear, "it should be in ......"

Looking at Elfin and Olibat, who had strange expressions, Cedric had a vague premonition in his heart.
