Kirton returned to the royal city in an autumn rain, stayed only for one day, and after a long conversation with Silas, the next day he set out on the road he had to make and from almost once a year, with young Walter and the convoy of tributes, as well as the missions of the Middle Empire.

Speaking of which, Monkey Yi was originally reluctant to go, you must know that this errand to the Snow Wolf Country was won by him who didn't know how much money he had dragged on and how much money he had spent.

thought that he could easily win the matter by relying on his three-inch incorruptible tongue, but in the end because of his momentary greed and wanting to fight for more credit, he ended in complete failure.

Not only did he fail to complete his mission, but he also set up several contact points buried by the Central Empire inside and outside the Snow Wolf King's City.

Monkey Yi didn't regret this, but at this time, he just wanted to delay a little longer, and then think of a way to find a chance to make up for it.

However, the embassy has long been tired of this incident, there are no major things all day long, and the mission is constantly doing small things, and a few little maids who are assigned to take care of Monkey Yi on weekdays are even more fed up with the monkey's hairy hands and feet from time to time.

When one of the little maids delivering food unexpectedly heard that Monkey Yi was discussing with the people of the embassy and planned to pretend to be sick and continue to delay, she quietly united with the other two little sisters, and took advantage of the rainy night to smuggle a bear orc who was doing chores in the embassy to help knock Monkey Yi unconscious.

And for the sake of insurance, several little maids also pooled money to indiscriminately pour two packs of cheap sleeping pills into the knocked out monkey Yi.

In this way, Corton and his party did not even use the words of persuasion they had prepared (force of force), so they successfully brought Monkey Yi, who couldn't open his eyes when he walked early in the morning and needed to be supported, and the smooth departure of the accompanying group.

It is said that there is an autumn rain and a cold, and the sky is sunny after the rain, but Luna doesn't care about the chill in the morning, and says goodbye energetically, poking the guards at the door of her room for nearly two months, and she can laugh out loud when she runs in the morning breeze, even if she looks at the trees that have withered their leaves.

It's been lifted!

Running all the way, she finished her morning run in a time that was twice as fast as usual, and she took the little maid Liya to the restaurant first.

Looking at the tables after a long absence, the servants busily coming in and out with breakfast, Luna took a deep breath.

What is it?

"Ah~ It's the taste of freedom~~~~"

"Freedom is the taste of breakfast?" came Olivia's voice with a little teasing.

"Mother~~~" Luna pounced happily, "Freedom is to have breakfast with everyone~~~"

"Yes, the hair has grown back, so I don't have to worry about the weather getting colder, you will freeze. Rubbing her daughter's fluffy head, Olivia felt a trace of regret in her heart, in fact, she felt that when her daughter was hairless, the flesh felt better to touch.

"Why is it just you and your mother, father and eldest brother?" Luna asked as she jumped into her chair as she sat down obediently and looked at her with disdain in her eyes.

"I'm going to give it away. Looking at his sister who was not quite right today, Jack rarely showed a steady appearance as an older brother, and replied solemnly.

"Hmm, is the mission leaving?" Luna asked, tilting her head to look at Olivia.

Her Royal Highness the princess has no good impression of the two countries who come to eat and drink, and do things and are unwilling to leave.

"It's a tribute party, and this time your Uncle Kirton is going to take Walter with him, so your brother is going to send it off as well. Okay, let's eat it! It's going to get cold in a while. Olivia explained briefly, not mentioning the mission.

Luna snorted softly when she heard this, she had already heard her teacher talk about the tribute when Gote came to class two days ago.

The origin of this thing is said to be complicated, but her teacher didn't talk about the specific complicated method.

It is only said that it is not determined by the size and strength of the country, but it seems that the ancestors of the three royal families reached a certain consensus, so that they gathered financial resources in the Central Empire in the name of tribute.

But what the specific name is, Gotte told her that only the kings of the past can know.

Luna was slightly disappointed that this was not an answer, but she didn't have to know about it, so she didn't continue to ask.

However, at this time, Jack, who heard the word tribute for the first time, had a strong curiosity, "What is tribute?"

"It's a gift to the most powerful empire on the continent. Olivia paused as she held the spoon and explained in a soft voice.

Although Jack is still young, in getting along with his friends, he has the most preliminary understanding of the status of the royal family, and at the moment when he learned that his family is not the most powerful, he asked a little unhappily:

"Aren't we the strongest?"

Olivia opened her mouth when she heard this, she really had a headache for her son who always liked to ask all kinds of questions lately, and she didn't even dare to pay attention to it now, once she opened her mouth to ask questions, there would be an endless Jack.

"The teacher said that our land is not as big as that of the mermaid country, and there are not as many people as the Central Empire, so we are not. Luna glanced at her silent mother and explained.

"How big is that mermaid country, and how many people are there in the Central Empire?" Jack blinked and turned to his sister with bright dark eyes.

"I don't know, but the teacher said that all the seas are the territory of the mermaid country. Central Empire, the teacher hasn't talked about it yet, I'll tell you when I do. ”

"And how big are all the seas?"

Look! Olivia glanced at her daughter with a little sympathy.

"As far as the eye can see...... Luna's mouth twitched slightly, and she said nonsense based on facts.

She had even seen a map, and how could she know how big the sea in this world was......

Jack wasn't so easy to fool, he looked at Luna's half-pay carefully, and suddenly stabbed, "Actually, you don't know either, do you?"

"As long as you talk too much, shut up and eat!"

"How do you eat with your mouth shut up?"

"Bite you again!" said Luna, grinding her teeth.

looked at Jack, who had changed from a fool to a bear child next to him, and suddenly realized why her mother was silent just now.

"Queen Mother, look at Luna!" Jack complained with a twisted face.

Luna: "......" has learned to sue?!

Olivia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh at her daughter's slightly surprised gaze.

Although Olivia has always adhered to the attitude of watching the little brother and sister's quarrel, letting the two of them make trouble, as long as there are no problems in principle, she will never intervene more, but no one stipulates that she can't watch the fun!

Seeing that her mother might laugh at any time, Luna silently rolled her eyes in her heart, and bared her teeth at Jack, who was still trying to say something, and simply and rudely chose to suppress it by force.
