She Is Not a Witch
Vol 3 Chapter 24: A precarious empire
In Wanglong Harbor, Lorrain Hill and Atesi shared a carriage and headed towards the mansion of the city’s manager, Earl Hongyuan.
The carriage rut rolled on the white slate, making a slight noise, and the pedestrians and scenery on the street appeared from the faintly floating curtains.
Through the pale blue curtain, the sun shattered on a blonde girl in the car. She was wearing a red delicate dress and looked about 17 years old. The soft face was shadowed by the curtains, with a broken and hazy beauty.
"What kind of person is the Earl Red Kite?" Lorrainhill's light blue eyes turned from the scenery outside the window and looked at the dignified elf princess in front of him.
"Probably a model of classical aristocracy." Today, Ai Texi was wearing a white princess dress with gold rims, with a pearl hair net on her golden hair, and she looked at the princess temperament that was rare in the past.
"His ancestors were scholars from the East and were invited to be the emperor's tutor at that time. Later, the emperor became an adult and bestowed him the title of knighthood, so the Hongyuan family was passed down slowly."
"Before I left the Western Continent and went to the East, I had dealt with him. I felt that the other person was pretty good and had a good reputation in the local area. The family style has always been very good. The tranquility, wisdom, and poetic temperament are almost their family. A portrayal of people. Occasionally, they make some outrageous behaviors because of the pursuit of romance, but in general, people are not bad."
"I have been away from the Western Continent for too long, and now I don't understand a lot of things. Instead of inquiring about all kinds of gossips in the tavern that are difficult to distinguish between the authenticity, it is better to go directly to him and ask."
"And here is also under the rule of the Unicorn Duke, and we have been in good contact with our elves, so there is no need to worry about safety."
"That's it." Lorraine Hill nodded. After arriving at Wanglonggang, she has always maintained the appearance of blonde hair, which also prevents her true identity from being discovered.
Silver hair is still too rare in the world of Yvar, and she is not sure whether her image will be recognized by people in the empire, and thus think of the sages of Crancia, which caused a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Lacy also accompany me to meet the earl. Just say that you are a friend I know in the East, and he won't mind too much."
Athesi briefly explained, and soon the carriage came to a halt.
"Miss, it's already here." The coachman's voice came from ahead.
"Yeah." Then, Atesi took Lorrain Hill's hand and walked off the beautiful metal and wooden carriage.
"Welcome to the arrival of Her Royal Highness Princess Atesi." The butler greeted at the door recognized the familiar elf girl at a glance.
"Please come with me." He bent over to salute, and then led the way ahead.
"It's been a long time, Federer, you are still so healthy." Atesi simply nodded, and then slowly followed, and then the four maids in the mansion accompanied him.
"Your Royal Highness is absurd." The butler, who was about 50 years old, humbled, and then greeted the two of them into an elegant hall.
The sun shines on the sofa and coffee table through the colored glass. The porcelain tea set with enamel trim has already been set. A young man of about 30 years old is sitting on the sofa. After seeing the two girls coming in, he stood up to greet him.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, His Royal Highness, if you can see you return safely, I think the Emerald Forest will be a lot happy again this time."
"It's been a long time, Li Lin." Atesi blinked and looked at the Earl Red Kite.
"You are a lot more mature than before."
"Can it be understood that I am a few years old again?" Li Lin replied jokingly, and then stopped in time.
"Haha, let's sit down first, let's have some tea." He greeted them to sit down, and then talked slowly.
.....
"It seems that Her Royal Highness Ai's journey has been a bumpy journey. Is this beautiful lady who you met during the journey?"
"Yes, her name is Lexi, the eldest lady of a chamber of commerce. This time I encountered a similar situation and stayed in the East for a long time."
"That's how it is. Miss Lacey, in Xia Lilin, I am the acting manager of this city and the one who inherits the title of Hong Yuan in this generation."
"Hello, Earl Li Lin." Lorrain Hill bowed his head and bowed slightly, then raised his head to look at the man a little.
The Earl of Red Kite wore a black fitted dress with a white shirt and silk scarf. The side of the collar was embroidered with phoenix birds with golden and red silk thread, which had a strange beauty of combining things.
After a brief greeting, Ai Texi began to inquire about the current situation.
"Although Wanglonggang looks peaceful, but the current empire is actually precarious, and it's only a step away from falling apart." He picked up the teacup, Earl Red Kite slowly blew the cup noodles, and then began to introduce. .
"His Majesty holds most of the power when he is in power. Under such circumstances, the empire revolves around one voice, which is naturally efficient and powerful."
"But after His Majesty's sudden departure, this left a huge power hole in the upper empire."
"Whose should I listen to now? Is it the ordinary, petite and innocent queen, the emperor's twin brother, or the blood of the previous emperor?"
"In terms of blood relationship and stability, His Royal Highness Edron is the best choice to take over the throne."
"But the queen has already given birth to a boy. At this time, His Royal Highness can willingly hold back his desire to be a regent? Even if he has no selfish intentions, the people underneath don’t think so~www.readwn.com~ The regent always ends. None of them are very good. Moreover, His Royal Highness and his brothers should have ascended to the throne together. This is a long-standing tradition in the empire."
Li Lin slowly talked about the source of disorder in the empire, which was the golden emperor's throne.
"On the eve of the end of the war, His Royal Highness, as the prime minister and ambassador of the empire, signed a surrender armistice agreement with Crancia. Such an act would not be a big mistake if only the prime minister and his courtiers, but the result of current events. But if he wants to ascend to the throne, This has become a huge stain and hindrance, and many nobles in the palace used this to suppress His Royal Highness Edron."
"Your Majesty deprived many great nobles of the rights and benefits during his reign. All this caused these suppressed voices to rebound strongly after his death, and many people even pushed all the faults on His Majesty, threatening to let the first emperor's direct line The descendants once again took over the throne, so that the empire was put on the right track."
"Furthermore, don't think that they are just talking about the fact that, in the current situation of the imperial and weakening of the royal family, they have begun a large-scale conscription in the territory, ready to select the descendants of the first emperor for support."
"Then who is presiding over the court now?" Athesi asked this key question.
"The Red Queen, Lily Esther."
