Chapter Ninety-Seven: The First Night in the Imperial Capital

Chapter 97

At night, Diana tosses and turns on her soft bed, an extremely luxurious and high-end hotel in the imperial capital, where foreign delegations usually stay.

However, unlike those who come on behalf of the country, the envoys who live in the top floor of the custom suite are never open to the public, and the current residence of Diana is only a standard room of less than 100 square meters.

Of course, even the price of a night in such a standard room reaches an astonishing five gold coins.

Thinking about how many times she was born and died, and finally offended the princess of a country, but the ten gold coins she only earned were enough to stay here for two days, Diana's heart was convulsed.

Although it was paid by the empire, Diana, as a child from a poor family, still felt very distressed, according to what the griffon captain said, there is still a month before the opening of the Imperial Capital Advanced Magic Academy, and during this time, Diana's living expenses and food expenses are all reimbursed by the empire, in addition to giving her some pocket money.

Say it's what you deserve as a hero who saves people.

Diana came to the window and lifted the corner of the curtain. Illuminated by the bright magical light, she could clearly identify which belonged to passers-by and which belonged to the eyeliner that was watching her.

"Hasn't Diana slept yet?"

Wearing a white nightdress, Elaine rubbed her eyes and got out of bed, she didn't know what to say to the guy who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and sat on the windowsill looking up at the starry sky at 45° and pretending to be 13.

"Sleep Now"

After hearing that Diana was placed in this kind of hotel that ordinary people might not be able to afford to live in for a lifetime, Elaine also stalked and followed.

For Elaine, even now, Diana doesn't know much about her, and she didn't even think that Elaine would follow her to the imperial capital.

"If you beg me, I may be merciful enough to allow you to sleep with me~"

"Who is rare."

………………

At night, the palace and castle are brighter than the streets outside, and artificial light fills every corner.

Even in the middle of the night, the soldiers and knights here stood guard and patrolled diligently, and their footprints were covered with the large and small forest paths of the Imperial District, and the entrance of the royal palace, which was as heavily defended as a military fortress on the front line of war.

Inside the Great Hall, the King was sitting on his throne with one hand on his chin and squinting his eyes, as if he was taking a nap, the light here was not as dazzling as outside, and the only light here was the cold blue moonlight.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked through the fountain curtain in front of him, looked at the cautiously approaching figure outside, and smiled.

"Why didn't Lorance come to me in the middle of the night without sleeping, what are you doing?"

The king, who rarely smiled in front of his subjects, always unconsciously put a kind smile on his face when facing his little daughter. The petite figure outside subconsciously stiffened when he heard the king's question, and then sighed in frustration.

"Why don't you know why I haven't gotten close to my father, haven't you been resting for two days, why are you still so vigilant."

Dressed in her nightgown and draped over a thin coat, Lorance skirted the curtain of the fountain that was as beautiful as crystal to the throne, and she sat down with the king without any qualms, and handed the blanket to his father.

The king looked at the blanket in his hand and patted his thighs and smiled

"Hahaha! Is there anything I want from your father? Let me guess what I want this time, whether I want to burrow into a complete dragon egg and experience what it's like to be hatched, or if I want to place the tribal totem of the northern orcs praying for rain in the back garden and then end up being a scarecrow because I don't know the mantra and mantra to pray for rain. Let's listen to it, as long as it's not too unreasonable, I will try to meet you."

Lorance's eyes rolled over when he heard this.

"Don't talk about my father's past, I just have a few questions I want to ask."

"Oh? It's quite strange that our little princess would come to me for help. ”

"I just want to ask if this imperial capital is our country."

The king stretched out his rough hand and rubbed Roland's blonde hair.

"You stupid boy, what are you talking about, since they are all called the imperial capital, how can they not be considered our country."

"As a member of our empire, even civilians can move anywhere except in the royal area!"

Speaking of which, the king naturally understood what this little princess meant, and she just wanted to lift her own ban.

"But don't forget, you are a royal family, my father doesn't want you to learn much knowledge, etiquette and martial arts, I don't want you to be like your eldest sister who always gets bruised when you fight abroad all year round, and I don't want you and your eldest brother to calculate each other politically with others. My father just wants you to grow up happily and peacefully. ”

The king shook his head helplessly.

"It's too early to tell you this, Father, I understand what you mean, in that case, then allow you to move freely within the imperial capital, after all, after such a long period of confinement, it should allow you to breathe."

Surprised! No surprises! Happiness came so suddenly, and when he first talked about being a royal balabala, he was no longer hopeful, but who would have expected that the king would suddenly make a sharp turn on this one-way street.

"Thank you, Father!"

Lorance excitedly kissed the king on the cheek and jumped off the huge throne.

"Hahaha! Okay, okay, it's so late, the good boy should have gone to bed a long time ago, go back to the room and go to sleep! ”

Lorance stuck out his tongue

"The good king should have slept a long time ago!"

The brow that had been locked for two days was soothed at this moment, which had not been seen for a long time.

"Good! Father listens to you! Let's go to rest. ”

………………

The bright eight o'clock in the morning sun shone on the room where Diana was currently living, and she sat at the head of the bed with her eyes covered, looking a little distressed.

"Diana, what are you doing?"

Elaine was on the sidelines as she brushed the black cat with the witch's hat and looked at Diana with the eyes of a fool.

"Nothing, just a sense of foreboding, like a flood beast breaking free from its cage."

I wish it was my delusion. Diana changed her clothes and prepared to go out for a walk to get rid of the uneasy feeling in her heart.

After all, she now has a lot of property in her pocket, which is certainly not worth mentioning for the nobles, but it is enough to walk around the imperial capital.

"Huh! Uncle eyeliner over there! Don't go, I know you're spying on me, don't pretend! I just wanted to ask you something! ”
