Chapter 42: The Merry Albert (Asking for Votes)
The rooms of the Perkinlin are on a tower on the periphery of the castle.
Arthur led Lee to the door of the room, and before the door could be opened, a first-class attendant came running with a skirt.
"Your Highness, Her Royal Highness the Empress Helena passed you over."
The maid glanced at Li Elli carefully, "And this young lady." ”
Arthur: "......"
Arthur covered his forehead, "Did the uncles tell their mother something?" ”
The maids' cheeks were slightly red, and a very gossip bubble appeared on the top of their heads.
[Wow! I didn't expect the young lady brought back by His Royal Highness Arthur to be so beautiful! 】
She peeked at Li Aili from time to time, and she was embarrassed to look at Li Ailie.
Arthur sighed, "Please come with me to see my mother, and I will explain it to her." ”
So, Li Elli followed Arthur to the core area of the castle.
I have to say here that Li Aili knows how Arthur's extravagance was cultivated.
In the sprawling Perkinlin Palace, there are magical teleportation arrays at both ends of each corridor.
This kind of teleportation array that consumes a large number of energy stones is like not asking for money, as if it is a great sin to let people walk one more step.
And the corridors are full of knights wearing dragon scale armor.
These royal guards are all knights of the platinum rank.
Lee Ellie peeked at Arthur beside her.
The young man is high-spirited and noble, but his demeanor is measured.
"What's wrong?" Perceiving Lee's gaze, Arthur turned his head sideways and asked politely.
Li Aili hurriedly said: "No, nothing. ”
It was lunchtime, and the Holy Dragon Emperor and Empress simply summoned Li Aili directly to the restaurant.
The attendant guarding the door respectfully pushed the door open for the two of them.
When the door opens, look down the straight red carpet and there is a platinum banquet table under the ornate 13 stacks of crystal chandeliers on the roof.
At the long table, the first to sit sat the Holy Dragon Emperor, who was Arthur's father.
His Majesty looked at Li Aili with a pair of eagle eyes, and just one look made Li Aili freeze in place.
It felt like running into a tiger head-on in the forest.
The hairs are standing on end.
Arthur stepped forward directly and blocked the middle between the Holy Dragon Emperor and Li Ellie.
Only then did Li realize that she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
At the dining table, a prince who tied his long black hair casually and leaned on his shoulders chuckled, "Hah." ”
With white-gloved hands and a silver knife and fork, he elegantly slices hamburger patties on a fine porcelain plate.
The queen who was sitting at the other end of the long table smiled: "Arthur, is she the girl you brought back?" ”
"Let her come over and let me see."
Li Aili looked from behind, only to see that the tips of Arthur's ears were red, "Mother! It's not like that! ”
[Uncles! Don't talk nonsense to your mother! She'll take it seriously! 】
Li Ellie did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this time.
She was just a little curious, poking her head out slightly, like a curious kitten.
This poked his head out, and happened to meet the sight of the emperor and queen at the other end of the long table.
Seeing the beauty in the seat, Li Aili thought of the sapphire blue quiet lake, and thought of the wide, gentle and all-encompassing sea.
Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin, this is the beauty of the Empress Helena.
"Come, son, sit on my side."
There was just one seat at the banquet table.
Obviously, several princes looked at her curiously.
Ellie Lee: "......"
What the heck? After a thousand years, they all broke up, and they came to meet their parents 1000 years later!?
Li Ali choked on a mouthful of blood.
Just when I was in a dilemma, the back door opened.
The eldest prince Albert strode in, followed by ...... Brandon Red Pomegranate, who carried a knight's sword at his waist and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Ellie Lee: "......"
When Albert came in, he saw Li Elli and Arthur, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Okay, have they all come to this point?" ”
Arthur: "!! ”
[Don't talk nonsense! Albert! I can't explain it even more! 】
Ellie Lee: "......"
Very good! Hopefully, a thousand years from now, you will remember this phrase today!
Albert took the red pomegranate and occupied the two empty seats on the emperor's right.
After he sat down, he didn't forget to say to Arthur, "What are you doing standing there?" ”
Arthur glanced hesitantly at Li Ellie, and then sat down on the emperor's left hand seat.
Well, there is only one vacant seat now, the seat to the right of the Emperor.
Ellie Lee: "......" is good.
Li Aili had to sit next to the emperor.
Then, as soon as the buttocks sat down, the emperor asked gently, "What's your name?" ”
Li Ali replied honestly: "Li Ali." ”
Queen Helena looked at Li Ellie: "How old is this year?" ”
Ellie Lee: "......" is becoming more and more alike...... The sense of déjà vu of visiting parents.
"Uh-21, it's almost 22."
Queen Helena was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Four years older." ”
Li Aili: "...... Your Majesty, 1,000 years later, your son will be 1,000 years older than me!"
Queen Helena was slightly surprised for a moment, and then said softly to Arthur: "Then, Arthur, you will have to take care of her more in the future." ”
Ellie Lee: "...... not?!" Did you skip something?!
Arthur said righteously, "Mother, it's not what you think. ”
Then, he took a quick look at Li Ellie, and a pink bubble floated above her head.
The bubbles flickered.
Ellie Lee: "......"
This teenager! Stand firm!
Albert was concentrating on the steak on his plate, and said casually, "Mother, the tower where the guests live is too far from here. ”
Li Ellie: "? ”
You see that your family does not have thousands, but also tens of thousands of teleportation arrays, and say it again.
Albert raised his head, his handsome face smiling charmingly, "Mother, let this young lady live here." ”
He deliberately glanced at Arthur, "It's convenient, it's not." ”
Li Aili didn't have time to politely refuse, so she listened to the emperor and queen Helena immediately make a decision.
"Good! Catherine, you go and clean up a guest room. ”
Catherine?
When Li looked around, she saw a young court maid, who looked exactly like Catherine, the housekeeper in Constantinople.
It's just that Catherine smiled gently at Li Ellie, bowed and immediately retreated.
The door of the restaurant opened.
Li Aili looked for a voice, and another acquaintance appeared in front of Li Ailie's eyes.
Conrad walked in quickly, bent over and said, "The Winter Wolf Clan wants to see you." ”
As soon as the emperor put down the knife and fork in his hand, he immediately stood up and left, and leaned over and kissed her tenderly on the top of her hair as he passed him.
Empress Helena sighed softly, and after the emperor left, she said to the palace attendants beside her: "Send some food to Your Majesty's study in a while." ”
Immediately afterwards, the meal was hurriedly finished, and several princes also said goodbye to the emperor.
Albert wiped his hands gracefully, put down the napkin, and stood up, "Mother, I have something to do, go out." ”
Emperor: "......"
The emperor couldn't help it, and said to her eldest son: "Albert, are you looking for ......"
The Empress pondered for a moment, "Anna? ”
Albert smiled gently, "Mother, you're mistaken, it's Emily. ”
Emperor: "......"
Li Aili interpreted the expression of the emperor and queen, and probably said: Why did I give birth to such a ......
After a moment of silence, the Empress took a deep breath and waved her hand wretchedly.
It seems that he is going to be out of sight.
Lee Ellie stole a glance at Brandon.
Brandon also finished eating, calmly put down the dishes, and stood up, "Then Your Highness, I also take my leave." ”
Thinking of the later 'crazy bride', Li Ellie's heart was on fire.
How is Albert such a person?!
So, after Albert left, Li Aili put down the fork, "Your Highness, I also want to go out for a walk." ”
The queen was surprised, "Then let Arthur accompany you." ”
No matter what Li Aili said, the emperor and queen did not change her mind.
Afraid that she would not be able to keep up with Albert, Li Aili had to compromise.
So, they left the Perkinlin Palace of the Holy Dragon with the carriage of the Great Prince.
After the carriage had crossed the drawbridge of the castle, Arthur asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Li Aili pointed to the rut marks on the ground, "Quick! Catch up with the Great Prince! ”
Arthur: "........................"
