Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

The plane steadily landed in front of them.

The airstair lowered, placing them approximately five meters away.

The Holy Ring Knights stood even more rigidly at attention.

Polifonia and Lucas also stared intently at the cabin door, their expressions serious.

The cabin door slowly opened.

The first to emerge was the man with short brown hair.

“Welcome, Your Majesty.”

Polifonia and Lucas gave slight bows.

However, the bows were not deep, only about ten or twenty degrees.

This attitude already demonstrated Polifonia's sincerity.

After all, they were the kings of Aldegyr.

Even if Aldegyr was far behind the Primordial Empire in terms of power.

They couldn't appear too inferior in such a public setting.

In fact, if the Neon incident hadn't occurred six months ago,

They wouldn't even need to do this much.

Simply welcoming him would have been enough to show Aldegyr's respect.

“Aldegyr, a very nice landscape. I think I will spend a meaningful time here.”

Himura Makoto nodded slightly and slowly walked down the airstair.

Himesaki Yukina, Yaze Natsune, and Aiba Asagi followed behind Himura Makoto, emerging from the cabin one by one.

“If that is the case, then it is truly Aldegyr's honor.”

“However, the temperature in Aldegyr is still not very good right now.”

“So, let's get in the car first.”

…

This was a stretched super limousine, its body length reaching eight meters.

The interior space had also been modified.

So, Himura Makoto's entire party could perfectly fit into this car.

Sitting next to Himura Makoto, the maid did not board the car, so La Folia took on the role of the maid, skillfully taking out the treasured red wine from the car.

She poured a glass for herself, her parents, and Himura Makoto respectively.

The others were each poured a glass of juice before she sat back down.

“Welcome to Aldegyr, and welcome everyone to Aldegyr.”

Polifonia raised her glass, and finally, she focused her gaze on Yaze Natsune, a beautiful smile blooming on her face.

“Natsune, welcome home.”

“I, uh, Your, that…”

Faced with this woman who looked so similar to her but possessed such an extraordinary aura, Yaze Natsune choked, becoming flustered.

“Just call me sister.”

“You are my younger sister; there's no need to be so polite.”

Polifonia maintained her perfect smile and then drained the red wine in her glass.

She also knew that her existence put a bit of pressure on her younger sister, so she shifted her attention away from Yaze Natsune.

Instead, she refocused on Himura Makoto.

“Your Majesty, my mother, Grand Empress Dowager Myue, also wishes for me to express her apologies to you.”

“She was originally supposed to personally welcome you today.”

“But her age is too advanced, and her old ailments make it unsuitable for her to leave the castle right now.”

Himura Makoto looked directly at this woman.

From the current conversation, it could be inferred that the king of this country was indeed a mascot-like existence.

All the leadership was in the hands of the women of the Lihava family.

Moreover, she was tactful and eloquent.

Worthy of being from the same lineage as La Folia.

“It doesn't matter; I don't care about these things.”

“I'm just here with Natsune this time; some things are understandable.”

Himura Makoto waved his hand, swirling the red wine in his glass.

“Besides, it's as La Folia said, purely coming here to enjoy a vacation.”

“I think La Folia should have already planned the itinerary.”

“Of course.”

La Folia winked playfully.

“I came back early to prepare for this, and everything will be something that can only be experienced in Aldegyr.”

“It will definitely satisfy you.”

“But before that, we still have to return to the castle.”

“Grandmother has prepared a special Aldegyr dinner to welcome everyone.”

…

“This is the Datnotea Detached Palace.”

When the escort vehicle carrying Himura Makoto's group arrived at the Detached Palace, it was already close to dusk.

Surrounded by forests and hills, it was more than just quiet; it was a place where there was nothing around.

Contrary to the impression given by the word 'detached palace,' the building was small, at most like a luxurious villa.

“Rather than the imperial palace, after hearing La Folia's suggestion, I felt that this detached palace could better reflect the natural beauty of Aldegyr.”

“Although the rooms may seem simple in appearance, I hope everyone will like it.”

It was now evening.

From the car window, one could see the golden sunset clouds of this foreign land and the sparkling lake reflecting the scenery.

On the left and right of the field of vision were solemn cliffs eroded by glaciers.

As far as the eye could see, there were gem-like, beautiful views.

“It is indeed very beautiful.”

“That's right. Man-made landscapes, no matter how well-built, are not as good as the wonders of nature.”

Polifonia and the others had definitely put their hearts into it; this was definitely not perfunctory.

He was very satisfied with Polifonia's arrangements this time.

Indeed.

Aldegyr's imperial palace was nothing to look at; it was just a magnificent palace built in the city.

In terms of luxury, it was probably not even as good as his residence in the Primordial Holy Land.

Therefore, after getting used to the man-made landscapes in the Primordial Holy Land, looking at such natural landscapes was indeed pleasing to the eye.

“Then I'm relieved. Let's go.”

A red carpet stretched from the disembarkation point all the way to the entrance of the palace.

At the end of the palace, an old woman was already waiting.

Her silver hair was already tinged with gray, her short stature was beginning to show signs of age, and time was rapidly passing from this old woman.

“Hello, Primordial Progenitor.”

“Welcome to Aldegyr.”

The old woman took the lead in extending her hand.

Himura Makoto also shifted his scrutinizing gaze away from the old woman.

He reached out and shook her hand.

She was the Grand Empress Dowager, the previous queen of this country, Myue Lihava.

This old woman was interesting.

Normally, spiritual mediums with good aptitude could greatly slow down their own aging.

Even at the end of their lives, they wouldn't be like this.

The reason for this old woman's appearance was simple.

When she was young, in the battle with Duke Aldia, she injured her foundation, and the injury had remained unhealed.

This led to her appearing slightly older.

“There's no need to keep saying the same words.”

Himura Makoto chuckled lightly, and the two hands separated after a brief touch.

“There are other things that can be said later.”

“That's true.”

The old empress dowager narrowed her eyes.

“Then everyone, please come inside.”

The heavy wooden door opened, and like the feeling given by the exterior, the house was not very spacious or particularly luxurious.

But even so, the workmanship of the house was exquisite, befitting the term 'detached palace.'

The marble floor was carefully polished to a shine, and the wood had turned amber after many years.

“The rooms are over here, please use them as you wish. Going to the right, there are bathrooms, and there are two bedrooms on each side. If you need anything else, please feel free to ask.”

The head maid was in charge of leading the way.

The team of maids she led also led everyone to choose their favorite rooms and settle their luggage.

Naturally, Himura Makoto was taken to the largest guest room.

The room had already been cleaned spotlessly, clean and bright.

Whether it was the furniture and decorations in the room, or the carpets and curtains on the floor, one could feel a heavy sense of age.

“The dinner is at eight o'clock, so please attend in formal attire.”

“I will come to inform you when the time comes.”

After leaving these words, the maid gently closed the door, leaving Himura Makoto alone in this empty room.

Himura Makoto raised his eyebrows and casually put his luggage aside, directly went to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking at the sparkling lake outside the window, Himura Makoto's mood gradually calmed down.

After all, the next action was crucial to him.

Crossing more than a thousand years of time was a very serious test for him.

So, his mood had been slightly anxious during this time.

It was far from the composure he had assured Aiba Asagi.

But now, seeing this landscape, his state of mind had truly calmed down.

“Knock knock knock—!”

The sound of knocking on the door rang out directly.
