Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 560 Can’t you agree to this request?
The shadow of the cult union has returned, and the mirror elves of Nereids are forced to leave their homeland and move to the distant sea to avoid the upcoming conflict and war. However, at this critical moment, another princess of Nereids City, the true blood descendant of the Nierid royal family, the "uneasy child" in the words of Queen Amyra, is in the human city and has not returned! ?

This strange situation made Nevelle not know how to comment for a moment, and she could only respond with silence. Queen Amyra probably also felt that this matter was quite embarrassing, so she picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip to cover up her embarrassment.

At this time, it was Metien who spoke up and broke the awkward atmosphere: "Why did Her Royal Highness the Princess go to the human city?"

"Regarding this matter," Queen Aimi said with a helpless expression on her face, "Lorana has been very interested in the outside world since she was a child. After she grew up, for some reason, she insisted on traveling to human cities. Galene and I tried our best to persuade her, but it was ineffective. Finally, she reluctantly agreed, but as a condition, she was required to live in Rothdana City, which is closest to the Mirror of the Azure Sea, and not go further inland. In this way, if something happens to her in Rothdana City, we can at least find out in time and find ways to help her. Nothing happened to her in the following years, so we gradually put our minds at ease, but who could have thought that such an unexpected situation would happen at that time?"

At this point, Queen Amyra's beautiful blue eyes were filled with sorrow. At this moment, she had lost her dignity and dignity as a queen, and was just a mother who was worried about her child. This scene resonated with Nevill, and she felt that she had some subtle similarities with the queen, so she said with emotion: "The children have grown up and have their own ideas, so it's really hard to blame them. But how can they understand the worries of a mother?"

"That's true." Queen Amyra nodded and agreed deeply: "If children can consider their parents' feelings more when they do their own thing, there may not be so many family conflicts in this world."

Ugh.

They both sighed at the same time.

Metien looked at the silver-eyed countess on the left and the queen of the Nieride court on the right. She felt that if they continued to talk like this, they would soon say something like "Parents are the most pitiful in the world." To be honest, from the perspective of a good child, she felt that this conversation was a bit strange.

Even she felt this way, and Leticia and Shemi ignored it, filtering it out after hearing it, and didn't take it to heart at all. Leticia whispered, "So her name is Rorona. She also went to the human city. Will she meet her prince?"

I still can't forget the plot in the fairy tale.

After exchanging some parenting experiences and feelings, Queen Emila finally remembered that she seemed to have not yet gotten to the point, reminded by Galene's cough, and continued: "Lorana is in the city of Lothdana. She is still unaware of the news that the city of Nereides is about to move. As a mother, I can't abandon my child in a human city, so I have been trying to inform her of this. But although the mirror elves are similar to humans in size and appearance, they are aliens after all. Once they enter the city, they will soon be noticed by the night watchmen. As a queen, I can't let my subjects risk their lives for the willfulness of a child. For this reason, I have been worried for the past few days until you showed up. I believe you have a way to solve this problem for me. After all-"

She turned her gaze to a pink-haired little girl who still didn't understand what was going on. "Ms. Metien is a human. She can enter the city of Rotdana openly and find Lorena without attracting the attention of the Night Watchmen. She can then inform her of the news and ask her to quickly return to Nereids City to prepare for the migration."

It turned out to be the case.

Never immediately understood. No wonder she had insisted on letting Metien stay to listen. Sure enough, this matter was deeply related to the pink-haired girl. It could even be said that it would not be possible without her help. Never and Leticia were vampires, Olvera was a light elf, the three Shesta sisters were traveler fairies, and Ieta was even more so. Among the people who stayed on the sky island at the moment, only Metien could enter the city of Lotdana openly.

but.

After she understood, she was puzzled again and asked, "Your Majesty, you said that mirror elves are easily discovered by the cult, so it is inconvenient for them to enter the city of Lotterdana. I can understand this. But Her Highness Rorona is your daughter, isn't she also a mirror elf? How can she live in the city of Lotterdana without being discovered by the Night Watch?" "I know!" Leticia raised her hand to answer when she heard this, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. The vampire girl leaned forward and pointed out with a serious face, "She must have drunk the potion of the evil witch, turning her fish tail into legs, so that she could walk on land. But every step she takes is as painful as walking on a knife edge. Humph! The witch is not a good thing either, she deserves to be killed!"

She was sharpening her knife. Nevill held her forehead with one hand and pushed her back with the other hand, saying helplessly, "How many times have I told you that it's just a fairy tale, Leticia, don't compare it with reality. Besides, the mirror elf is not a mermaid and doesn't have a fish tail. Sorry, I'm just kidding, please don't take it to heart."

The last sentence was said to Queen Aimi. The queen nodded slightly and smiled, "I have also read the fairy tale of Little Mermaid. The human writer named Andersen wrote it well. Leticia is also very imaginative, which is a good thing."

Nevile nodded without comment, treating it as a polite remark and not taking it to heart. But if she had not been busy pushing the stubborn Leticia back to her seat, but had paid a little more attention to the queen, she might have noticed the hesitation that flashed across her eyes.

Even Galene, who was sitting behind the desk, quietly lowered her body, trying to reduce her presence for fear of attracting anyone's attention.

"The child Lorena used a special method to sneak into human cities, but that method is very special and not everyone can copy it. So, we can't use the same method to convey messages to her." Queen Emila explained.

Neviel had no doubt that the Nyrid court had ruled the city of Nereides and this sea area for a long time, so they must have some background. It was not surprising to find a holy relic with camouflage effect. She asked again: "In this case, why not use the channels you have in the human world?"

"I'm afraid this won't work." Queen Amyra smiled bitterly and shook her head. "First, they are all profit-seeking businessmen. The previous cooperation was just for profit. This matter involves the bloodline of the Nereid royal family, so I don't feel comfortable leaving it to them. Secondly, after the inspection team of the United Church arrived in Lothdana City, it is certain that Mr. Greenwood will be held accountable. With the cautious and meticulous style of the United Church, they may also investigate all those who have had contact with Greenwood, such as those who have bribed him with money and tried to corrupt him. At such a sensitive moment, if I ask them to help convey the message, it will definitely implicate Rolena in the end, and even expose the relocation plan of Nereid City. The situation will then be out of control. Therefore, I cannot take such a risk. Please understand."

It’s really not difficult to understand.

Whether she is responsible for her daughter or her subjects, Queen Emilia must make the safest decision rather than taking risks.

So at this moment, the safest choice before her is Metien.

Facing a mother's earnest and expectant gaze, the pink-haired little girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. However, someone gave an answer before she could open her mouth.

"Regarding your request," Nevill said word by word, without giving Metien or anyone else a chance to speak. Her silver eyes, as gorgeous as the moonlight, were clear and flawless. "I'm sorry, we can't agree to it."
