"I think today is probably the worst day since May. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" said General Yeft of the Praetorian Guard while drinking in the tavern that night.

That morning, Prince Antaras, after receiving the keys to the hotel room, asked the servant to tidy up the room for him and carry his own luggage into the house. When he was done with his own affairs, he saw that it was still early for the appointed lunchtime, so he decided to go to his sister-in-law's room, hoping to learn more about the country they were in at the moment.

"His Highness Antaras." The chief lady of Racoxiu saluted the young prince as she approached her.

"Uh...... Is Sister-in-law Wang here? "Antaras was a little embarrassed to be stared at by the other party.

"Her Royal Highness the princess has gone down to bathe, and it is estimated that she will come back before noon. His Highness instructed that if you get bored, you can ask the librarian here to show you around. It is said that this is the residence of the former prime minister, and the garden retains a lot of the style of the Nasibes period. The female chief enthusiastically suggested to the prince.

"Looks like that's all there is to it." Antaras was disappointed, but Kanites had warned him not to disturb the ladies in the bath and makeup.

"So, do you need me to accompany you, Your Highness?"

"Uh...... No need, I'll find a librarian to accompany me. Antaras smiled awkwardly and walked away.

"Then please be careful." The female ruler sent the prince away.

"Yeft, quick! Didn't you say it was a shortcut? ”

"Your Majesty, although this is a shortcut, you can't climb over the wall."

"Between two points, the straight line is the shortest. Well, it seems that the teacher forced me to study geometry. "Yes, the girl who completely ignores the admonitions of the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard at the moment is Her Majesty the Queen of France.

"Wow, Your Majesty, it seems that this is the house of a big nobleman, it's over, it's over, it's in trouble."

"What a great nobleman, could there be anyone older than me in Farensi?"

"That's true."

"Alright, let's go. Lu Siqing estimated that he had turned the entire palace over now, as if he had said that he would have eaten with some important person for lunch today. ”

"Let's eat with the prince of Hitarus." Yeft said embarrassedly on the side, what a responsibly queen.

"Ah, by the way, it's a meal with the prince of that pervert country. That's got to hurry. Margaret carried a large basket and ran as fast as she could.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, you are so easy to get out of danger......" Yeft hung up his sword and hurried after him.

After leaving Racoxiu's room, Antaras easily found a librarian to guide him. The young librarian was a descendant of the run-down little aristocracy of Nacibis, and a man of his kind had a considerable presence in the royal capital of Kaunescuzhan. Originally, when Sanadin rebelled, this class had kindled their little enthusiasm for an improvement in their social status. Unfortunately, however, the rebellion was quelled very quickly.

Just when they had little hope of returning to the royal capital, Sogrend pursued a series of policies that they saw as favorable to the Narcibes. The most important one is to openly recruit a group of grassroots personnel from all walks of life to serve the government, so as to make up for the political purges after the rebellion and the losses in the war. In this regard, Sogrend adheres to the principle of absolute justice, openness, and fairness, but the Nasibes, who can be educated relatively well, are much stronger than most of the Falnsians who cannot speak a word of mainland justice. As a result, there were many Nasibis in the government offices of Farency. Although the salary of a small civil servant was meager, after all, the Nasibis felt that they were not discriminated against in the face of such an important social work, and even took advantage of it, then the slightest sympathy for Sanadin's failure disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the librarian was introducing the prince of Antaras to the art of the Nasibis period when they came to the edge of a simple labyrinth surrounded by hedges. Antaras wanted to try playing with the maze, but the librarian advised him to wait until after dinner, as it was a simple maze that would take some time to try on his own.

"Ah, Your Highness the Prince, let's turn around and go ahead later."

"Okay, is it going to turn left?" The prince, who was walking ahead, asked.

"Yes, turn left along the hedge."

"Oops!" In the back, the librarian suddenly heard a girl's call, followed by a "bang", apparently the sound of two organisms coming into contact with each other at high speed.

"Ah, it hurts." The Prince of Antaras couldn't help but shout in Hitarus.

"Ahh

As soon as the librarian ran to the prince's side, he heard the word "Your Majesty" and immediately looked at the other side. Although the girl sitting on the ground in front of him was dressed in an ordinary coarse cloth skirt, the beautiful dark gold braids, bright and charming aqua blue eyes, and the Praetorian Guard-style sword of the man behind him accurately indicated her identity.

"Your ......Majesty" The librarian was about to shout out, but was frightened by Yeft's silence and his neck wiping.

"Ahh What a hard morning work I've had! Margaret didn't seem to care about her trauma, and she forgot that she was primarily responsible for the accident.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Antaras looked at the girl in front of her and looked distressed at the appearance of some kind of plant scattered on the ground, although she couldn't understand the other party's Fallensi, but this honest child unconsciously apologized to the other party in mainland Mandarin.

Yeft looked at the librarian's face, and roughly guessed what the strange young man in front of him was. However, our lovely Her Majesty obviously didn't notice that since the other party had already apologized, she naturally would not let go of this opportunity to ride on the other party's head. So, Margaret shouted in mainland language: "Then why don't you help me clean up!" Ouch, it hurts me. ”

"Yes, yes." Antaras was forced by the other party's momentum, and with the Landner family's always "not disobeying the wishes of beautiful ladies" as one of the family mottos, the little prince of Hitaros immediately cleaned up for the other party.

"What are these?" Antaras was curious as to why the other party was furious with him over something that seemed to be herbs.

"Ah, you're a young master, don't you even know plantain?" Margaret said with a little disdain.

"Plantains? Is it used to heal? ”

"No, no, it can be used to make tea, especially in the summer."

"You seem to know a lot, do you need so many plantain by yourself?" Antaras handed over the basket he had packed.

"It's all taught by my teacher, and I picked it for him." Margaret said triumphantly.

"Your Majesty," said Yeft whispered to the Queen in Farensi, "let us hurry up, or Lord Leus will be in a hurry." He didn't want to give the distinguished guests in front of him enough time to recognize his queen, otherwise it would be humiliating enough to spread the word that "the queen of Pharansy was running wild outside in a coarse cloth dress", and he would probably be kicked to the Abermountains to mine by the prime minister, who was annoyed and angry by this.

"Ah, by the way," Margaret, who had wanted to talk again to show her knowledge, immediately snatched the basket from the other man's hand, "Goodbye, this young master." ”

"Hey, I said wait, what an energetic girl." Yeft shook his head and looked at Margaret, who had already jumped a few steps away. "Uh...... I'm so sorry. He bowed and apologized to Prince Antaras in his broken continental language, "Goodbye." ”

Watching the queen and her guards walk away, the librarian who was left to dry thought of greeting the prince: "Your Highness Antaras, are you okay, are you hurt?" ”

"No," the prince withdrew his gaze in the direction of the girl's disappearance, "I'm fine. ”

After the two of them took a few steps forward, Antaras suddenly turned around and asked, "Dear sir, do you know that girl just now?" ”

"Uh......" The librarian replied, weighing the stakes in his heart, "I don't know either, I guess it was someone who broke in while people were not looking." ”

"Oh, really?" The prince looked a little disappointed, "Judging by her dress, it seems that she should be the daughter of a commoner, but she mentioned that she has a teacher, and if she is not a nobleman, which commoner would hire a teacher for her daughter's family?" But it seems that there are no aristocratic tutors who teach students how to pick plantain and make tea? Maybe the teacher she was talking about was just a friendly neighbor with some knowledge. If it's a commoner......" The prince said to himself, and couldn't help but laugh shyly.

The librarian behind Antaras saw the prince's smile and immediately felt inexplicable, was it a happy thing to be hit and forced to apologize to the perpetrator? Apparently the lovely Nacybis descendant has little knowledge of the fine traditions of the Hitarus royal family, otherwise he would have shuddered at his own speculation.

In the time that followed, the young prince had apparently lost interest in the Nasibis-style garden art, and after absentmindedly following the librarian through the rest of the sights, Antaras asked the other to lead him back to his bed.

On Margaret's side, after climbing over the walls of five families in a straight line, Her Majesty the Queen of Farensi finally arrived at the main entrance of the palace.

"Your Majesty!" When the guards at the gate spotted them, they immediately stood up and saluted.

"Alright, alright, remember, you didn't see anything, got it?" Margaret commanded in a calm voice.

"Yes," the guards suddenly remembered something as soon as they finished agreeing, "but ......"

"There's nothing to do, especially not to tell Lu Siqing. Yett, you too, go back to your post. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Margaret and Evt were separated, they circled around and prepared to go back to their bedroom. In fact, it is not that she likes to walk through the main entrance, but because the walls of the Akuru Palace have been raised to a sensational height since a number of intrusions by unknown persons last year, and it is impossible for Margaret to climb over without the help of tools with her current height. On the other hand, when she was a princess, Thorgrande had taken her out several times without going through the main entrance, so if she returned according to the previous route, she would most likely be caught by the Prime Minister.

Before returning to the dormitory, Margaret stopped by to the kitchen. The head chef, who was preparing for the formal luncheon feast, was not surprised to see Her Majesty coming, and he thought that the Queen had only come to inspect their work, after all, noon was to entertain very important foreign guests.

"Your Majesty, do you see that today's dish still satisfies you? The Prime Minister had already been here before. ”

"Well, well, yes, what's the main course today?" Margaret pretended to be inspecting.

"Today's main course is this, you see, roast suckling pig; There is also soup made from crucian carp that I just caught from the lake this morning; The dessert is a freshly baked cookie, do you want to try a piece first? And, of course, Parello's 338-year-old wine, you see how beautiful the color is; Finally, I think the ladies will love some fruit, with peaches, plums, and some green apples. The head chef graciously briefed the queen on his arrangement.

"If the guests are satisfied today, I will reward you well."

"It is our pleasure to serve His Majesty." The head chef humbly replied.

"Then there is one more thing," said the queen, handing the basket to the head chef. "I'll leave these things to you."

"This ...... It's plantain, does Your Majesty want to use it to make tea and drink? The chef asked.

"Well, it's just for Lu Siqing, you send someone to cook a pot and send it to the Prime Minister's office every day, and then boil another pot and send it to Lan Fang Teqing. and Lan Fang Teqing said, I sent two pots to Lu Siqing, and Lu Siqing asked someone to send them to her again. Do you understand? Also, be sure to keep it a secret from me, and you can't say you saw me this morning. ”

"Ah, I see." The chubby chef laughed, making his somewhat greasy face even more rosy. "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter."

"Then I'll go back to the dormitory." Margaret staggered out of the kitchen.

"Your Majesty, go slowly." The head chef sent the queen away, and said to himself: "Haha, it's really wonderful, the tea that was originally used to drive away the heat and clear the heart and reduce the fire seems to have been used by His Majesty to ignite the blazing fire of love this time, it's really wonderful, aha-"

Margaret was triumphant, and the familiar path seemed shorter. When she arrived at the door of her room, she looked around, and it seemed that there was no one at all. So, happily, she took out the key and opened the door.

However, as the saying goes, happiness and sorrow, along with the "click" of the door lock, sounded with the sound of Her Majesty's most awe-inspiring voice.

"Dear Her Majesty, have you had enough time outside today?"

"Uh......" Margaret turned around, and what she saw was indeed Thorgrande, "Who said I went out to play, obviously ......"

"What is it?" Sogrend pulled out Yeft, who was hiding behind him.

Yeft's face clearly read, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I betrayed you again this time."

"Your Majesty, I have told you many times before that there is a very important foreign affair today. You have to wait in the palace honestly for me, and make all kinds of preparations to welcome the foreign guests. You know, Hitaros is a long-time ally of his country. And this time, there is also Her Royal Highness the Prince and Princess Rakoxiu who has come back to save her relatives, if you are rude in front of the other party, what kind of impact will it have on the princess who was born as a Farensi, have you thought about it? You are a king, and you can't just do whatever you want. The last thing Margaret could stand was that Sogrede spoke to her in that kind of serious tone, which made her always feel that she was causing trouble for Sogrande and that the other party would not like her. Margaret is like a little sister who longs for her brother's affection.

"I'm sorry ......"

"Okay, it's good that you came back in time, now go in and change your clothes, the female officers are already waiting for you inside."

"Oh, I see." The young queen still didn't seem to be in a high mood.

"Also, if you're going out in the future, remember to bring a few more good Praetorian Guards." Thorgrande admonished.

"Yes, I see." Margaret was happy again, for she could tell from Sogrande's words that the other party was actually more worried about her.

When the queen entered the room, Yeft protested to the Prime Minister, "Lord Ryus, what did you mean by that?" Do you think that with me, Yeft, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, will not be able to protect Her Majesty? ”

"If someone of my caliber comes, do you have the confidence to protect Her Majesty?" Sogrend asked coldly.

"This ...... Not at all. "Yeft is very honest, he has heard that no one in all of France can take 15 swords in front of the Prime Minister if he uses a sword. At his level, it is estimated that at most 7 to 8 swords will be defeated by the opponent.

"However, you are the champion of the Mastar Sword Fighting Competition, and the people of Mastar must respect you as a 'Sword Master', how many people in this world can reach your level?" Yeft said.

"The world is so big that there are no surprises. Then again, one well-prepared action can outperform 10 Saulgrande Leuss. Even if I went out of the palace with His Majesty before, I would basically report to the Praetorian Guard and His Majesty the Former King, so I will definitely not be allowed to do this in the future. Even a soldier can't use obedience to orders as an excuse for making a big mistake, and I hope you understand that, General Yeft. Thorgrande said sternly.

"I see, Your Excellency."

"Alright, let's go and wait patiently, it's time-consuming for a lady to dress up."

At the same time, Rakoxiu, who had just finished bathing and dressing up, received a report from the maid that the carriage that greeted her and the prince of Antaras was already waiting at the gate of the hotel.

"Then inform, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, let's go." Rakoxiu ordered, straightening his hair that wasn't quite dry.
