Quiescence.

There was silence.

Everyone present looked at the sleepy elf sitting on the cloud in a daze, and a question invariably broke out in their hearts:

Who is this man???

Feeling the sight of the people around him, Kokot also reacted, spit out half of his tongue, scratched the back of his head, and said with a grin:

"Oh, sorry, I forgot."

"Now you have long been the emperor, follow the customs, I should call you Your Majesty."

Others were puzzled.

This familiar tone, as well as the feeling in these words.

It seems like...... The person who came here is a terrible person.

Oberly smiled, making it impossible to see that he was an emperor with any majesty.

"Councillor Kocot."

"I remember the last time we met, my father hadn't died yet."

Discuss...... Honourable?

Another one?

The group of people immediately looked at Kokot and felt a wave of surprise in their hearts.

On top of that, she was brought over by Leah Clayvenna.

How many councillors does the Cravina family have?

Others took a closer look at His Majesty's words.

Your Majesty said..... At the time of the last meeting, the previous emperor had not passed away?

That illustrates..... Your Majesty and her are old acquaintances.

That's at least more than thirty years old.

After all, Emperor Oberly did not ascend to the throne until he was in his twenties.

How old does this MP have to be???

Oberly said slowly:

"With your status, worth a seat .... But now it seems like you don't really need it. ”

Auberly refers to her following Leah, following his courtier's vassals.

However, the ruined house elf obviously did not realize the emperor's deep meaning, but yawned, stretched, looked at the clouds below him, and said in a trance:

"Aang, I really don't need to."

"But you don't need to call me Councillor, I'm working for Victor right now."

……

！？

The people in the entire palace, after a period of silence, instantly stirred.

"What!? A member of the Mage Council actually works for Victor? ”

"What exactly does Victor have to make the former congressman do it willingly."

"This councillor is still an old acquaintance of His Majesty!"

Everyone began to chatter and communicate above the hall, and for a while, the whole palace became a little chaotic.

An even more shocking result was yet to come, and the Emperor said, as if intentionally:

"Victor, this kid, does even the next elf queen have to work for him?"

The next Elven Queen!?

The heavyweight news was so dense that all the nobles present didn't react for a while.

The entire palace seemed to have become a place for the two to chat, and the words thrown one after the other were like bombs dropped into the calm bottom of the lake, shaking waves tens of meters high.

Obviously Victor is not in the palace, but every word, every word.

All of them point to Victor.

At this moment, everyone understood.

The elf in front of him turned out to be a queen who was about to ascend the throne.

No wonder she looked so young, but the old man in her words felt that she had lived longer than the emperor.

Because the longevity of elves cannot be faked.

Even if the elves are more than 300 years old, they also have the grace of being like a human teenager.

Elves are mysterious beings who can sense the powerful energies of nature, and are even more likely to receive the blessings of the gods than humans.

Even, some of those who are favored by the elves will be very lucky.

This special existence lives in such a secret place that it is difficult for people to notice, let alone anyone who dares to capture elves.

This kind of behavior can easily lead to great disasters.

At this time, the limelight of the return of the eldest prince was completely overshadowed by the appearance of this elf.

She made everyone feel a little unreal.

"I can't help it, I can't help myself."

Kocot grumbled with some annoyance, and then seemed to realize something.

"Oh, are you talking about something? Then I should disturb you, I shut up. ”

"Go on, I'm just here to protect this girl."

Kocote pointed to Leah beside him, lay on the clouds, and went back to sleep.

However......

At this moment, no one knew what to continue to say.

The eldest prince was still kneeling on one knee in place, and almost everyone had forgotten about him.

This was supposed to be a glorious moment for the Great Prince.

Sensing that everyone's eyes were on her, Lia finally moved.

She smiled and bowed to His Majesty, and said slowly:

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, brother, he is preparing for Her Royal Highness's course, so I came on his behalf."

There is nothing wrong with this, the person who made Victor the princess's teacher is the emperor, and he really can't find anything wrong with not coming because of the princess now.

Let alone.

Victor Kravenner is one of the current parliamentarians.

A single prince is not enough to recruit a councilor.

Liya turned her head to look at the eldest prince who was kneeling on one knee, her eyebrows were slightly raised, but her tone was the most sincere congratulations.

"However, His Royal Highness the Prince is famous, and the news of your killing of the demon dragon has spread all over the north and south of the empire, and everyone knows about it."

"My brother also said that you already have half the majesty of His Majesty."

But many people heard the yin and yang in her words.

Half majestic.

Isn't that half there?

At the age of seventeen, Oberly can kill a demon dragon alone, and you are in your thirties, and you have to lead an army......

Maybe it's not even halfway there.

This is a bit of a heart-wrenching meaning.

But Leah didn't care, covered her mouth and chuckled, and continued:

"Your Highness."

"You're a big hero."

Albanny was still on one knee, but the others could only see his still straight back.

No one knows what the Great Prince is thinking, but everyone does.

This glory belonging to the great prince was finally destroyed after the arrival of the Clavenna family, and there was not even scum left.

Oberly waved his hand, looked at Albany, who was still kneeling on one knee with his head bowed, and said lightly:

"Get up, Albany."

"After a long journey, you should go back to rest and rest."

“…… Yes, Father. ”

Albany slowly stood up, dragged his clanging armor, and slowly walked out of the palace.

And Oweyser watched the departure of the imperial brother, but he was not very happy in his heart.

This moment was accompanied by the attitude of the emperor.

Many nobles understood something in a trance.

At some point, the Clavenna family was no longer limited to their status as an earl.

With all kinds of titles, it seems that there is no need to play the so-called game with these princes like ordinary nobles like them.

……

"Hah! Refreshing! ”

Leah took a glass of wine and gulped it down.

In the dimly lit tavern, Leah sat at a wooden table, holding an oversized wine glass, and shouted.

After a glass, her face was ruddy.

Leah had never drunk alcohol, and as a businessman, she needed to keep a clear head at all times.

Today, however, she really felt what it meant to be comfortable.

The ugly aristocrats looked at each other in shock.

So that she doesn't have to deal with the pleasure of hypocritical communication with these guys anymore.

She didn't even have to care about the attitude of the prince, even if it was to mock the eldest prince in front of His Majesty.

Of course, Leah knew exactly why she was able to do all this.

She has a brother who stands up to the sky.

But the heroes beside him can't forget, Liya raised her glass and said loudly.

"Thanks to you, Kokot, you can take a sip too."

Cocote sat across from Leah with a large wine glass, looking at the large glass in front of him with some distress.

She had never drunk this wheat wine.

As an elf, even in the tribe, she drank fruit wine made from nectar and delicious fruits.

Leah looked at Cocott with a smile, then raised her glass and poured herself another sip of wine.

That's right, it's a leverage.

When Victor asks her to bring Corcot, Leah understands what Victor meant.

As a former councillor, Corcott's value is not only her former status as a councillor and her current fourth-order strength.

Having been in the Mage Council for decades, Corcot has countless followers even if she is a pig.

Besides, she's still an elf.

With Cocote by her side, Leah can completely ignore the ugly faces of the nobles, and even the eldest prince she hates the most can be ridiculed with impunity.

As for why she hates it.

I haven't seen you yet, and you want to marry me?

Leah didn't want to be the kind of tool for marriage, and once she got the background enough to ignore the prince, she would use that momentum to the fullest.

None of this even needed Victor to teach her.

Soon, Leah drank a little too much, felt less clear-headed, and her eyes became a little blurry.

Her words began to get a little garbled.

In the end, she forgot where she was, fell down on the wine table, and fell asleep.

Without even realizing it, a hand was on her shoulder.

"How much did she drink?"

Victor's voice sounded faintly, and Kocot yawned while holding his large wine glass.

"It's just two glasses, seriously, she's not as good as me in terms of drink."

Victor raised an eyebrow as he looked at the eight empty cups in front of Kokot.

"You're humble."

Cocote had been yawning frequently, and she had significantly exceeded her exercise today, where she continued:

"Since you're here, I'll go back first."

The clouds outside fluttered and drifted into the private room, and Cocott planted herself on the clouds, which flew her out of the room along the window.

Victor looked at a drunken Leah and thought about how to bring her back.

Looking at Leah, who was completely slumped on the table, he finally gave up on the idea of taking someone to teleport away.

Teleporting requires the other party to be clear-headed and clearly aware that they are in the process of teleporting.

Otherwise, it is very likely that you will fall into a random void in the turbulence of space.

He tried to lift Leah up, but it was clear that she was not in a good state and could not walk properly.

So, he leaned down and put Leah's hands on her shoulders and carried her behind her back.

Without a shoulder position, Vega had nowhere to stand.

It could only stand on top of Victor's head, grabbing his hair into a bird's nest.

“…… Victor? ”

Leah's voice was a little confused, but she quickly got a reassuring response.

"Hmm."

Leah, who was being carried up, squinted slightly, and smirked against his wide back.

"I know...... Hiccup, you want me to be angry and let ...... Cocott followed me. ”

"Thank you."

Victor didn't answer, and placed a bag of Gio on the wine table, and then pinched out a wind-resisting magic in his hand to make his body extremely light.

He carried Leah out the window with his back on his back.

Under the night sky, Victor took Leah and flew smoothly towards his home.

His speed was just right, and with the smoothness of his magic, there was not even a trace of wind around him.

So, Victor clearly heard the soft murmur of the girl behind him:

"Brother...... When I was little. ”

"Why do you ...... Don't like me. ”

Call......

Magic seems to be a little less stable.

Gradually, the long-lost wind swept through Victor's ears.

It's like an answer, it's like silence.
