The maid's eyes flickered a few times, and she saw Carlos standing a few steps behind Russell.

Shani felt that this man was very familiar, and after thinking for a moment, she remembered his identity. Seeing that he was snubbed by the empress, he had to pretend to have an itchy throat and coughed twice, which was a secret word between her and the empress, which meant that the empress had neglected something.

The empress heard Shani's reminder, turned to look at Carlos who was standing silently, and was stunned for a moment and suddenly said, "Isn't this Carlos from the Hill family?

Carlos heard the empress beckoning him, hurriedly stepped forward and half-knelt on the ground to brush his chest and salute, stood up and looked at the empress and said with a smile: "I see that Her Majesty the Empress is talking to my friend Russell, of course I have to stand outside as a subordinate!"

The empress stroked Carlos's hair and said with emotion: "You kid is still so polite, the royal family and your family are in-laws, you don't need to be so restrained." I hugged you when you were a kid, and you were so cute when you were a kid. ”

Carlos smiled and said, "Thanks to Her Majesty's love, since my grandfather died, I have been unable to take a break to support my family.

Sometimes I finally have time to visit Your Majesty once, but I am told by the servant that you are working, so I will no longer visit you rashly, for fear of delaying your business!"

The empress put down her hand stroking Carlos's hair, and smiled helplessly: "Alas, it is true, the situation in the empire has become more and more unstable in recent years, and I am busy with political affairs almost every day, neglecting to catch up with you families who are loyal to the royal family.

That's it, when this war is won, I will hold a party on behalf of the royal family, and our families will take this opportunity to get together!"

She looked at Russell again and said with relief: "Very good, I didn't expect you two to be a pair of good partners, your deep friendship really makes me envious, so your friendship must be maintained forever!"

Russell and Carlos glanced at each other and said in unison, "Of course, our friendship lasts forever!"

The empress nodded and ordered: "Since Russell is loyal to the royal family, you should not continue to stay in this transport team, I am now lacking capable heroes, and you are all known to me." I can rest assured that I will leave the matter to you, and you can quickly pack up and come over. ”

"By the way!" the Empress asked, as if remembering something, "Carlos, did your sister Charlotte come with you quietly?"

Carlos was shocked at how the Empress knew that her sister had come with them.

The empress saw his doubts and explained: "I have heard of her deeds, your sister is the pearl of the imperial capital, she has never been bound by etiquette, I guess she must not be able to resist her curiosity and follow you to the battlefield, you are also a safe haven for her here." ”

Carlos and Russell could only agree to the empress's request, and after saying so much, Gladyse finally felt a little sleepy, and she ordered some other business and left with her retinue.

Carlos looked at the back of the Empress leaving, and said to Russell jokingly: "Your performance this time is very eye-catching, even Her Majesty the Empress values you very much!"

Russell glanced at him angrily and said, "Someone's family is in-law with the royal family, and you haven't told me yet!"

Carlos hurriedly explained: "She said a few generations ago, when a young lady in my family married a prince as a princess. Having said that, this time we have entered the Empress's field of vision, which is really not an easy thing!"

Russell asked with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Isn't the Hill family an ancient nobleman?"

Carlos smiled bitterly and explained the secret in detail, "In the eyes of others, my family is so noble, but in the eyes of the royal family, it is just a casual retinue. And the position of this retinue is not something you can get if you want it, and several major families in the imperial capital will intrigue to compete for this beauty.

The Empress was just polite, if it weren't for the fact that you solved her crisis this time and she was short of manpower now, do you think she would be so polite to us?

Therefore, the people of the royal family are naturally good at using power to balance the nobles, and the two of us may be barely chess pieces now!"

Russell didn't expect that there were so many secrets hidden in it, he could only nod his head in admiration, but he couldn't say anything.

Russell and Carlos walked side by side to the open space of the warehouse, looking at the half-set sunset Russell said slowly: "I don't care how complicated the relationship here is, now I know that I am one step closer to the truth, this is what I care about!"

Carlos looked at his good friend who had suddenly brightened up, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know, now let's go back." We're going to tell Charlotte that they're going to change camps, and it's getting dark now, and it's too late to move the camp to the royal family.
