The bubble vanished in a flash.

Li Aili: "..."

Young man! Please stand firm in your stance!

Albert, engrossed in the steak on his plate, casually remarked, "Mother, the tower where the guests are staying is too far from here."

Li Aili: "?"

You see, your house has at least tens of thousands of teleportation arrays, if not thousands. Let me repeat that.

Albert looked up, his handsome face beaming with a charming smile. "Mother, let this young lady stay here."

He glanced at Arthur deliberately, "It's convenient, isn't it?"

Before Li Aili could even politely refuse, Empress Helena immediately made the decision.

"Okay! Catherine, go and prepare a guest room."

Catherine?

Li Aili looked over and saw a young court lady who looked exactly like Catherine, the housekeeper in Constantinople.

However, Catherine smiled gently at Ellie, bowed, and immediately withdrew.

The restaurant door opened.

Li Aili looked in the direction of the sound and saw another familiar face appear before her.

Conrad strode in, bowed, and said, "The Winter Wolf Clan requests an audience."

The emperor had just put down his knife and fork when he stood up and left. As he passed the empress, he leaned down and gently kissed the top of her head.

Empress Helena sighed softly, and after the Emperor left, she said to the palace attendant beside her, "Send some food to His Majesty's study later."

Immediately afterward, the princes finished their meal quickly and then bid farewell to the Emperor and Empress.

Albert gracefully wiped his hands, put down his napkin, and stood up. "Mother, I have something to attend to. I'll be going out for a bit."

Emperor and Empress: "..."

The Empress couldn't help but say to her eldest son, "Albert, are you going to find..."

The Emperor and Empress pondered for a moment, "Anna?"

Albert smiled gently. "Mother, you're mistaken. It's Emily."

Emperor and Empress: "..."

Li Aili deciphered the Emperor and Empress's expressions, which roughly conveyed: Why did I give birth to such a...?

After a moment of silence, the Emperor and Empress took a deep breath and waved their hands in frustration.

It seems they intend to avoid seeing it altogether.

Li Ai Li secretly glanced at Brandon.

Brandon finished eating, calmly put down his cutlery, stood up, and said, "Then Your Highness, I shall take my leave."

Thinking of the later 'Crazy Bride', Li Aili felt a surge of anger.

How could Albert be such a person?!

So, after Albert left, Li Aili put down her fork and said, "Your Highness, I'd like to go out for a walk too."

The Emperor and Empress were surprised, "Then let Arthur accompany you."

No matter what Li Aili said, the Emperor and Empress did not change their minds.

Fearing she wouldn't be able to keep up with Albert, Li Aili had no choice but to compromise.

So they left the Holy Dragon's Perkins Palace one after the other, following the eldest prince's carriage.

After the carriage wheels rolled over the castle's drawbridge, Arthur asked, "Where are you going to see?"

Li Aili pointed to the tire tracks on the ground, "Quick! Catch up with the eldest prince!"

Arthur: "……………………"
