"I'm a reporter for Miracle, Zena, what do you call it?"

"My name is Kira!"

Kira? The name sounds familiar?

Zena's heart jumped, but the good professional qualities still made her keep her standard smile: "Okay, Kirasan!" Do you usually read the newspaper? ”

"Sorry, don't look!"

Okay, that's the end of the interview!

This is certainly impossible!

As a qualified journalist, even if the interviewee's first question is not answered satisfactorily, you can't just turn around and leave.

Zena was not in a hurry, but still maintained a standard smile: "It's okay, you must be very busy at work!" ”

This is pure nonsense, everyone knows, since the other party has time to hang out here, how can he be the kind of person who is very busy?! But as a qualified intern journalist, this kind of polite and flattering words must be able to open your mouth.

"But you must know about the 'Empire's overseas expansion', right? Even if you don't know it personally, the people around you should know a little bit about it, right? ”

By touting and drawing conclusions, give the other party a psychological hint that "your level is higher than ordinary people" and "people at your level should know the big things at this level". At the same time, most people can't know what information the people around them are receiving every day, so they can't firmly deny that 'the people around them know something', so both parties can smoothly start the next topic.

Of course, these words are just an additional means, and Zena believes that unless she is a person who has just come out of the mountains, she will not be unaware of this big operation that has been going on for half a year and has made headlines every time.

"The Empire's overseas expansion...... Yes, yes, yes!

I've heard! This kind of big thing may have spread to Yin Xiugar, of course I know it! However, I heard that there was a disagreement between the high-level leaders of the empire during this time, and it has been in an uproar, and even I, who usually don't read the newspaper, have heard some rumors! ”

OK!

The corners of Zena's mouth hooked a good-looking arc, this is what she wants to ask, since the other party knows, it will be easy to do, and then she can start an interview on this topic.

The expedition overseas was laid out by Imbel, the imperial consul and one of the Twelve Protectors, and the military policy of the Albarez Empire in the past six months, and through the unremitting efforts of Timaria and Brantish, has now begun to bear fruit.

In the past six months, every once in a while, words such as "Lord Timaria conquers XX Island again" or "Lord Brantish captures XX Island" appear on the headlines, and so far dozens of islands have been included in the territory of the Albarez Empire, which can be said to be a major event that affects the whole country.

Recently, however, it has been rumored that the 'Magic King' Olgas, who had been sitting idly by, intervened in the matter, and he stopped Impelle's expansion according to demand, and proposed to rebuild the country and strengthen the country. Two different political opinions caused an uproar in the Albarez Empire, and the whole country was discussing the matter.

The people were divided into the 'main war faction' who supported Imber and continued to carry out the expansion plan, those who supported Ogarst, the 'main peace faction' who stopped the war and recuperated, and the 'Concerned Affair faction' who did not support both sides and sat at home to watch the play.

"So, Kirasan, what do you think about this? Which one do you prefer? ”

What do you think? I'll stand and watch!

Under Zena's expectant gaze, Kira raised her hands with a serious expression and said pointedly, "I'm sorry, this is a topic that can't be touched!" ”

“……”

Zena's face collapsed in an instant, and the gaze that had been looking at Kira was a little more regretful.

I saw that you are so handsome and have such an outstanding temperament, I thought that you were a pillar of the empire with both talent and appearance, and you must have a unique opinion on the current situation in the empire, but I didn't expect to make such a prevarication, it is really a white face!

Of course, it is impossible for the other party's instantaneous darkness to escape Kira's eyes, he has just exploded his name, and he can't let the people of the Albarez Empire feel that he is a straw bag!

Kira spoke, "Well, I support Lord Olgarst's decision!" ”

The unexpected change made Zena regain her spirits: "That's the 'Lord and the faction', may I ask why?" ”

"Because Lord Ogaste is the head of the Twelve Shields of the Protectors, an old minister who has ruled the empire with His Majesty for more than 80 years, and the future successor of the empire, his opinion is His Majesty's opinion!"

Zena nodded repeatedly, a strange glint flashing in her eyes: "Mm-hmm...... So, isn't Kirasan biased toward Master Ogarst, not because he agrees with his ideas, but because of seniority? If Master Imbell had the same qualifications, would you choose to join the 'Main Battle Faction'? ”

You're making it hard for me to pick it up......

"Nope! Absolutely not! ”

"I am a peace-loving person! I believe that Albarez is also a peace-loving empire! Imbell's mind is wrong! Detrimental! Twisted! It is not in line with His Majesty's philosophy of governing the country! ”

"On behalf of all the 'Lord and Faction', I hereby strongly condemn Imbell's actions!"

Now it was Zena's turn and she felt like she couldn't take it anymore.

Why are you just a passer-by, acting so indignant? Where did you get the confidence to condemn Lord Imbell? Do you represent the 'Lord and the Faction'? What do you stand for?

“…… And, Miss Reporter, you don't know, do you? It is rumored that Lord Ogarst is the biological son of His Majesty the Emperor!

”

Zena's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Kira with a smile on her face in disbelief: "You...... You're talking about ......"

Kira patted the shocked little girl and continued to break the news: "According to my grandfather, it has been more than a hundred years since His Majesty the Emperor Shuperligan established the Albarez Empire, and his appearance has not changed during this period!" ”

"More than 80 years ago, when he was still a child, Lord Ogaste suddenly appeared next to the emperor, and claimed to be the child picked up by the emperor, and since then he has started his legendary life as a 'magic king'."

"However, if you think about it a little, you will know that it is impossible for an orphan with such a strong magical talent to suddenly appear in this world, unless the body is mutated, the powerful talent must come from heredity!"

"So what kind of parents can give birth to a demonic genius like Lord Ogast? Must be a strong magician! How many magicians of this level are there even if you count Yin Shugar and Kirtina? But if it is said that person is the emperor, does everything make sense? ”

"Moreover, if you ignore the identities of the 'Emperor' and the 'Magic King', Your Majesty and Lord Ogaste get along almost in the same way as ordinary father and son. Of course, this is what the old people who followed the emperor when the empire was founded said......"

"For decades, Lord Olgarst has been like a prince, running the country for the perennial wandering emperor, and an Impel consul is nothing more than a clown!"

The more Kira talked, unwittingly shifting the topic of the original expansion of the empire to the gossip of Ogas and Jelf, which attracted not only Zena, the reporter, but also passers-by who couldn't help but stop and listen with curiosity and immerse themselves in it.

"What? Lord Ogaste is the Emperor's son?! How could such a thing happen?! ”

"I had long guessed that their relationship was not normal! But I didn't expect ......"

"Big news! This is big news! ”

But without evidence, this kind of rumor can't be written directly in the press, right? Isn't journalism about truthfulness? ”

"Just write 'suspected'! Suffice it to say that there is this rumor! When the time comes, whether it is true or false, there will naturally be someone who will hammer it! ”

"That's right, isn't there a 'entertainment' module in the press? You don't have to pay attention to the authenticity of what is written on it! ”

"You know how ......"

Listening to the more and more miscellaneous discussions around her, Zena silently complained in her heart: Sure enough, gossip is human nature!

After a long time, she suddenly woke up: she was here to collect the comments of the residents on the content of the last issue, not to gossip about the relationship between Ou Jiast and the emperor!

"Kirasan, let's continue ......"

Zena came back to her senses and remembered to continue her interview work, but when she looked up, the red-haired boy had long disappeared from her field of vision.

Zena sighed regretfully, let go of her notebook, and wrote down a few big words:
