Ayla and Sean choose a hotel near the imperial city to rest.
It''s a hotel in a busy market... But surprisingly few people check in. The decoration of the whole hotel looks like a place that can only be entered by the upper class. Sean estimates that the same place as the Haitian Hotel in the basharan Empire belongs to a hotel where court officials and nobles have the opportunity to stay.
Fortunately, Ayla''s temperament was originally the queen, and Sean dressed like an exotic aristocrat. He was not blocked when he checked in.
"This place seems to be a place where people with status can stay." when having dinner in the evening, Sean asked about the hotel in Ayla.
"Indeed, this place was introduced by an acquaintance I know. It should be very safe."
The two people have dinner together after more than 20 years. It can be said that the whole family ate at the same table.
Since Sean came to this world, few people can sit opposite themselves and eat!
Even in jagong, the sun king was separated from his elders, but the brothers and sisters didn''t like him very much.
"By the way, do you remember the alchemist girl during the day?" Ayla suddenly said. The person she said should be Rachel.
"Rachel Christian?"
"Yes, it''s her. The boss behind the hotel is the Christian family. This family is a famous family of kesselk, so the provocative cavalry outside the city during the day didn''t dare to laugh at it at last."
Sean suddenly recalled his encounter outside the capital during the day. It turned out to be so.
"Well, in fact, if Qi''er and Rorschach''s dereliction of duty is not so serious, as long as she is still a miss of the Christian family, it will be fine."
"It''s hard to say... After all, as you said, the two military regimes in this country can be strengthened. If marshal hogheim doesn''t try his best to protect them, he may be picked up by the other side. The situation is not optimistic, but as long as everyone doesn''t find Okam, it won''t drag too much. At least the two alchemists won''t be punished beyond demotion." Ayla explained.
Anyway, as long as the person is not found, it means he is dead. At most, it is a crime of dereliction of duty, not to deceive the country and cooperate with fugitives.
"Why do you suddenly care about this? Do you like the alchemist?" Ayla smiled with deep meaning and saw Sean''s question mark all over his head.
"Where did you get your imagination? Did I say that?"
"Ha... Sorry, but although a young and capable wizard like you is very attractive, after all, you don''t have a deep background. It''s also a good choice if you meet a suitable family vassal. At least you don''t have to worry about those messy things all your life, and you can have less contact with the power of some ancient gods."
Uh
Looking at the other party''s very serious expression, Sean really couldn''t cry or laugh.
After more than 20 years, I was urged to marry by my mother.
Sean is now in his early twenties. Compared with Ayla at this time, he is still nearly ten years old. In the eyes of ordinary nobles, he has reached the age of marriage.
It is said that my cousin
That is, sairiya, the eldest princess of jagong, has been arranged by the sun king to marry the children of the imperial minister''s family. It is probably for this reason that she is more powerful and hopes to obtain the Queen''s status to dominate her marriage!
Seeing that Sean didn''t answer, Ayla couldn''t help laughing.
At this time, honey, who went out to contact, finally came back and whispered something in Ayla''s ear. Sean only saw each other''s eyebrows frown.
"What''s the matter?"
Look at the expression that seems very disappointed.
"My acquaintance said that the emperor of kesselk might be a little hard to see! Sean... After dinner later, we''ll wait in the room. He''s coming."
"Well, OK." just nodded.
Sean estimated that the so-called acquaintances were either informants bought by jagong or undercover agents loyal to this side.
Anyway, in terms of countries, this kind of thing should be common. Sean believes that even in his own era, there were informants from other countries in the jagong hall!
…………
After dinner, Sean and Aila stayed in the room.
Because Lucille has to practice her magic homework every day, she will go to rest early after using her magic. There are only two people and honey left in the room.
Probably until nightfall, there were fewer pedestrians outside the street, and then there was a carriage rushing to stop downstairs of the hotel
A man who looked old and bowed hurried in.
She was taken into the room by mezula standing at the door
The candle lit up a little.
Sure enough, an old man with a gray beard chose to kneel at the first time.
"Noble Khalifa!"
"Don''t bother so much, get up." before kneeling down, he was stopped by Ayla with magic and directly stood three meters away from them.
The old man looked like he was 50 or 60 years old. His beard was white, but his hair still had a few dark filaments... He looked here with a look of [doubt!] expression.
"What''s the situation at the palace? What''s the problem with emperor Williams?" Honey came to report the situation at dinner. Now she just wants to hear from each other in person.
"His majesty has always been very good, but he has been busy taking care of her since the little princess fell ill six months ago. It is said that his illness is very serious, which has led to his Majesty''s love for her daughter. For a long time, he only occasionally participates in the discussion of politics, and most of the time is handed over to the marshals."
The little princess is ill?
Sean seems to have such a thing.
When I first came to Lewis City, didn''t the owner of the clothes store say that the little princess was dead?
"The news I heard is that the little princess is dead and the king wants to revive her," said Sean.
The old man took a look here.
Although confused, being able to sit with Ayla represents a good relationship between the two.
"The market rumors are not credible, but we haven''t heard about the princess''s condition for a long time. Your majesty has been looking for ways to treat her in recent months. Everything has been exhausted, but there is still no way!"
"Is it serious?" Ayla asked.
The old man had to shake his head.
"I don''t know. If Khalifa wanted to meet his majesty, it would be difficult, but I thought of a way on my way here... I prepared some gifts brought by jagong, which were left in those years. Khalifa can meet his majesty by means of an envoy. Even if he can''t see himself, master Meredith should come forward. After all, jagong has been here all these years Adak''s reputation is growing! "
"That''s a way. Let''s do it this way."
"Yes."
……………………
On one side, Ayla and Sean were planning how to officially enter the palace, but on the other side, they received different news in the palace.
Today, after the arrival of the alchemists in Lewis City, all intelligence agents began to act, saying the news that they had arrived.
In a special organization near the palace, a well-dressed middle-aged man also received the news.
"So they''re here? Where are they now?"
"It''s time to go, marshal hogheim''s military headquarters."
"Keep an eye on them, especially the two leading alchemists... If you can bring them to me, the Christian girl is not easy to move, then find the man!" the man said.
"I see."
After the soldiers who came to report went out, the man slowly went to the basement of the room, where someone helped open the door.
In the dark corner, a man with chains all over was lowering his head and talking to himself.
"I saw the truth, the unspeakable truth..."
"They will come back and mankind will find..."
"Eech!"
He looked up at the man and curled up in fear.
"You, you will all die, only he will last forever!!"
Frowning,
"Has he always been like this?"
"Yes, I''ve been crazy since I came back. I don''t know why I''m talking nonsense that I don''t understand, especially at night!" said the soldier next to me.
The man sighed.
"Unfortunately, he was a good subordinate."
If Sean were present at the moment, he would recognize the locked man.
That''s Saroyan who escaped from the fire!
