After the expedition to Swan City, Julia and the others say goodbye to their own countryside for a while. Kanna and the others rushed back to the royal city of immortality to rest. At Canna's invitation, Edward and Garcia prepare to travel with them to the inner city.

Approaching the inner city gate, he suddenly found a familiar figure.

Cardinal Francis Hurd, Cardinal of the Kingdom of Meredes and regent of the Kingdom, stood at the gates of the city, with 10 members of the Royal Elite Praetorian Guard standing behind him. The Royal Elite Praetorian Guard of the Meredis Kingdom has a full strength of 200 people, all of whom are above level 90 soldiers. It represents the top level of the warrior group of the world. The main duties of the members of the regiment are the Captain of the Praetorian Guard and the Imperial Guard. Francis, as the cardinal of the kingdom's main faith, the god of beauty, has always enjoyed the escort treatment of the royal elite Praetorian Guard. Now that he is also the regent, he has the power to mobilize all the members of the royal elite Praetorian Guard.

"It's over. I'm going to be scolded. Kanna muttered quietly.

"What, it suddenly occurred to me that I had something important to report home. I'll go first. ”

"Ah, I'm going to buy a new mace. See you later! ”

Edward and Garcia saluted Francis, then turned around and ran away. Kanna decided that the next time they met, they would beat the two to the ground.

"Coming back?" The middle-aged man's tone was majestic.

"Ah...... yes. I'll see you back to the palace beforehand. ”

"I just happened to go to the palace with something, so let's go with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

“……”

The Palace reception hall is resplendent in gold. The oil painting on the dome depicts the pomp and circumstance of the goddess of beauty descending into the kingdom. In the center of the dome hangs a huge candlestick, carved from precious metal, with delicate workmanship, on which nearly a hundred candles are placed. On the edge of the dome are six smaller candlesticks, which are exquisitely clear. The north wall of the hall is beautifully embossed, telling the story of the elves helping to build the immortal city. Huge oil paintings hang on the east and west walls. To the east was the first king of the kingdom: William Augustus. To the west is the head of the Kingdom's "Founding Four": Melodious Jeca. There are many tables on the walls around the walls, which are filled with beautiful handicrafts. Twenty chairs are lined up in the surrounding void. All the tables and chairs are inlaid with gold and silver, and the luxury is compelling.

Kanna didn't like the hall very much, because her eyes hurt because of the flash.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, can you sit down there?"

"Ahh Sit as you like, you're welcome. ”

Francis found a chair on the east side and sat down.

"Your Highness, aren't you sitting?"

"I don't need to, I don't need to, I like to stand. What do you have to say, say it. ”

"The princess is 13 years old this year."

"Yes."

"It's an excellent explorer with three years of experience."

"Not really."

“……”

"Oh no, no, no! What adventure? I just love to go out and play. ”

"These days, I've thought about it carefully. In just over two years, you will be in power. When the government affairs are busy, you want to fool around, and you don't have a chance. In order not to have regrets in your life. For the next two years, you go out and become an explorer, and I won't interfere. ”

"Haha. I knew Francis you were the best! ”

"However, be on the safe side. It's not enough to rely on Valient and Richard's two little kids to follow. It's better to bring a few hundred guards. You know, expeditions always kill people. ”

"Okay, okay, I got it."

After that, Francis said a lot. Such as the history and glory of the kingdom, the duties and responsibilities of the king, the rules and etiquette of the court, and so on. It's all a cliché, and Kanna has no choice but to deal with it.

"It's getting dark, stay for dinner."

"No need, there are still some teaching affairs to be handled by the church." Francis got up.

"Okay, I'll send you out of the palace."

"Remember my words, go out with more guards, and pay attention to safety!"

"Got it, got it."

Seeing Francis off, Kanna breathed a sigh of relief and was in a good mood. Hopping up and down to her private dining room to eat.
