Ayla and Sean choose to rest in an inn close to the Imperial City.

It is an inn in a lively market...... However, surprisingly, there are very few people staying in the hotel, and the decoration of the entire hotel looks like a place that only the upper class can enter, and Sean estimates that it is the same place as the Haitir Hotel in the Basalan Empire, which belongs to the hotel where court officials and nobles have the opportunity to stay.

Fortunately, Aira's temperament was originally an empress, and Sean was dressed like a foreign nobleman, and he was not hindered when he checked in.

"It's a place that only people with status can live in. "During dinner in the evening, Sean asked about the hotel in Aira.

"It's true that this place was introduced by an acquaintance I know, and it should be quite safe. ”

The two can be regarded as eating together after more than 20 years of time and space, and it can be said that the family eats at the same table.

Ever since Sean came into this world, almost no one has been able to sit across from him and eat!

Even when he was in Jagon, the Sun King behaved like an elder, but the younger siblings didn't like him very much.

"By the way, do you remember that alchemist girl during the day?" said Ayla suddenly, and she was probably talking about Ricky.

"Ricky Christian?"

"That's right, it's her. The owner behind this inn was the Christian family, which was considered a famous family of Kselke, so the provocative cavalry outside the city did not dare to continue to laugh at it in the end. ”

Sean suddenly remembered what he had encountered outside the gates of the capital during the day, and it turned out to be like this.

"Then in fact, if the matter of Kiel and Rorschach's dereliction of duty is not so serious, as long as she is still the young lady of the Christian family, it will be fine. ”

"It's hard to say...... After all, this country can be strengthened by the two military regimes as you said, if Marshal Hogheim does not try his best to protect them, it is likely to be found by the other side, the situation is not optimistic, but as long as everyone does not find Occam, this matter will not be too involved, at least those two alchemists will not have a punishment other than demotion. Ayla explained.

In any case, as long as the person is not found, it means that he is dead, and at most it is a crime of dereliction of duty, not to the point of deceiving the state and accomplices of fugitives.

"Why do you suddenly care about this? You have a crush on that alchemist?" said Ayla with a meaningful smile, looking at Sean with a question mark on his head.

"Where did you get your imagination, did I say that?"

"Hah...... I'm sorry, but although a young and capable wizard like you is very attractive, after all, you don't have a deep background, and if you meet a suitable family vassal, it is also a good choice, at least for the rest of your life without worrying about those messy things, and you can also have less contact with the power of some ancient gods. ”

Belch......

Looking at the other party's very serious expression, Sean was really a little crying and laughing.

After more than 20 years of time and space, he was still urged to marry by his mother.

Sean is now in his early twenties, and there is still a gap of nearly ten years compared to Ayla at this time, and in the eyes of ordinary nobles, he has already reached the age of marriage.

It is said that his cousin ......

That is, the eldest princess of Jagon, Seriya, has been arranged by the Sun King to prepare for marriage with the children of the imperial minister's family, and it is probably for this reason that she behaves more aggressively, hoping to obtain the status of the empress to dominate her marriage!

Seeing that Sean didn't answer, Ayla couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Mi'er, who had gone out to contact her, finally came back and whispered something in Aira's ear, and Sean only saw the other party's brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the expression that seemed to be disappointed.

"My acquaintance says that the Emperor of Kesselk may be a little unpleasant!Shaun ...... We'll wait in the room after dinner, he's going to come over. ”

"Well, okay. He just nodded.

Sean reckoned that the so-called acquaintances were either informants bought by Jagon or undercover agents loyal to this side.

Anyway, as far as the country is concerned, this kind of thing should be common, Sean believes that even in the era he lived in, there were informants from other countries in the Rijagon Palace!

............

After eating, Sean and Ayla stayed in the room.

Because Lucille has to practice magic homework every day, after using a certain amount of magic power, she will go to rest early, and there are only two people left in the room and Mi'er to stay.

It was probably not until late in the evening, when there were fewer pedestrians outside the street, that the carriage came and stopped downstairs at the hotel......

A man who looked old with his waist hunched hurriedly walked in.

Met was brought into the room by Metsula, who was standing in the doorway......

The candles lit up a little.

Sure enough, it was an old man with a white beard, and he actually chose to kneel down the first time he came in.

"Venerable Khalifa!"

"Don't bother, you get up. Before he could kneel, he was stopped by Ayla with magic, and stood directly three meters away from the two of them.

The old man looked to be in his fifties and sixties, his beard was white, but there were a few blackened strands in his hair...... glanced at this side, a [doubted!] expression.

"What's going on at the palace?" and what's wrong with Emperor Williams?"

"His Majesty the Emperor has always been fine, but since the little princess fell ill half a year ago, he has been busy taking care of her, it is said that the illness is very serious, causing His Majesty the Emperor to love his daughter for a long time, and only occasionally participate in the discussion, most of the time is handed over to the marshals to deal with. ”

The little princess is sick?

Sean seems to have such a thing.

Didn't the owner of the clothing store say that the little princess was dead when he first came to Lewis City?

"I have heard that the little princess is dead and that the king wants to resurrect her. Sean said.

The old man glanced at it.

Although I was confused, being able to sit with Ayla meant that the two had a good relationship.

"The rumors in the market are not credible, but we haven't gotten any news of the princess's condition for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor has been looking for a way to treat her for the past few months, and everything has been exhausted, but there is still no way!"

"Is it serious?" asked Aira.

And the old man had to shake his head.

"I don't know, if Khalifa wants to meet His Majesty, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, but I thought of a way on the way here...... I prepared some gifts that Jagon had brought with me, which I had left over from that year. Khalifa can use the opportunity to meet with His Majesty the Emperor, even if he can't meet him in person, Master Meredith should come forward, after all, Jagon's reputation in Adak has been increasing over the years!"

"That's a way, so let's do it this way. ”

"Yes. ”

........................

On one side, Ayla and Sean are planning how to officially enter the palace, but on the other side, the palace receives different news.

After the arrival of the alchemists in Lewis City today, various intelligence agents began to act, all of them were telling the news that they had arrived.

In a special institution near the palace, a neatly dressed middle-aged man also received the news.

"So they're here, where are they now?"

"It's time to go, Marshal Hogheim's military headquarters. ”

"Keep an eye on them, especially the two alchemists...... If you can bring them to me, the girl of the Christian family is not moving, then find the man!" said the man.

"Understood. ”

After the soldiers who had arrived to report the news had gone out, the man slowly walked to the basement of the room, where someone had helped open the door.

In a dark corner, a man in chains bowed his head and muttered to himself.

"I saw the truth, the unspeakable truth......"

"They will come back and humanity will find ......"

"Babble!"

He looked up at the man and curled up in fear.

"You, you're all going to die, only him is eternal!!"

Frowning,

"Has he always been like this?"

"Yes, I've been crazy since I came back, and I don't know why I'm talking this nonsense I don't understand, especially at night, when it's the scary!" said the soldier next to him.

The man sighed.

"It's a pity, he was a good subordinate. ”

If Sean had been present at the moment, he would have recognized the locked man.

That's Saroyan, who escaped the fire!
