The guest rooms at Perkins Palace are located in a tower outside the castle.

Arthur led Ellie to the door of the room. Before the door was even opened, a first-class attendant came running up, lifting her skirt.

"Your Highness, Empress Helena summons you."

The maid glanced cautiously at Li Aili, "And this young lady too."

Arthur: "..."

Arthur rubbed his forehead. "Did my uncles say something to my mother?"

The maids blushed slightly, and a gossipy bubble popped up above their heads.

Wow! I never imagined that the young lady His Highness Arthur brought back would be so beautiful!

She would steal glances at Li Aili every now and then, making Li Aili feel embarrassed.

Arthur sighed. "Please come with me to see my mother. I'll explain everything to her."

So, Ellie followed Arthur to the core area of ​​the castle.

Here I have to say, Li Aili now knows how Arthur developed that noble air.

Inside the vast Perkins Palace, each corridor has a magical teleportation array at both ends.

This kind of teleportation array that consumes a lot of energy stones is like it's free; it's as if making people climb one more step is a terrible sin.

The corridor was filled with knights wearing dragon scale armor.

These royal guards are all platinum-rank knights.

Li Aili steals glances at Arthur beside her.

The young man was spirited and born into nobility, yet he was always well-mannered and measured in his actions.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Li Aili's gaze, Arthur turned his head and asked politely.

Li Aili quickly replied, "No, it's nothing."

It was lunchtime, so the Holy Dragon Emperor and Empress simply summoned Li Aili to the restaurant.

The servants standing guard at the door respectfully opened the door for the two of them.

After the doors opened, looking along the straight red carpet, a platinum banquet table was placed under the magnificent 13-tiered crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

At the head of the long table sat the Holy Dragon Emperor, Arthur's father.

His Majesty looked at Li Aili with his eagle eyes, and with just one glance, Li Aili froze on the spot.

It felt like bumping into a huge, glaring tiger in the forest.

My hair stood on end.

Arthur stepped forward and stood between the Holy Dragon Emperor and Li Aili.

Li Aili then realized that she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.

At the dining table, a prince with his long black hair casually tied up and draped over his shoulder chuckled softly, "Ha."

His hands, gloved with white gloves, held a silver knife and fork as he elegantly sliced ​​the hamburger patty on the exquisite porcelain plate.

The Emperor and Empress, seated at the other end of the long table, smiled and said, "Arthur, is she the girl you brought back?"

"Quickly, bring her over here so I can take a look."

Looking from behind, Li Aili saw that Arthur's ears were bright red. "Mother! That's not how it is!"

Uncles! Don't tell Mother anything! She'll believe you!

At this point, Li Aili was still unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

She was just a little curious, peeking her head out slightly, like a curious kitten.

As he peeked out, he happened to meet the gaze of the Emperor and Empress at the other end of the long table.

Seeing the beautiful woman in the seat, Li Aili thought of the tranquil, sapphire-blue lake and the vast, gentle, and all-encompassing sea.

True beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin; this is the beauty of Empress Helena.

“Child, come and sit here with me.”

There was just one empty seat at the banquet table.

Clearly, the princes were looking at her with curiosity.

Li Aili: "..."

What the heck? They broke up a thousand years later, and then they came all the way back in time to meet the parents?!

Li Aili choked on a mouthful of blood.

Just when they were caught in a dilemma, the door behind them opened.

The eldest prince, Albert, strode in, followed by... Brandon Red Pomegranate, with a knight's sword at his waist and a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.

Li Aili: "..."

When Albert came in and saw Ellie and Arthur, he raised an eyebrow slightly. "Wow, you've come this far?"

Arthur: "!!!"

Don't talk nonsense, Albert! I can't explain myself anymore!

Li Aili: "..."

Excellent! I hope you'll remember these words a thousand years from now!

Albert, carrying a pomegranate, occupied the two empty seats to the right of the Emperor.

After he sat down, he didn't forget to say to Arthur, "What are you doing standing there?"

Arthur hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Ellie before sitting down to the Emperor's left.

Very good, there is only one empty seat now, the one to the right of the Emperor and Empress.

Li Aili: "..." Very good.

Li Aili had no choice but to sit next to the Emperor and Empress.

Then, as soon as they sat down, the Emperor and Empress asked gently, "What is your name?"

Li Aili answered honestly, "Li Aili."

Queen Helena looked at Li Aili: "How old are you this year?"

Li Aili: "..." It's getting more and more like... that feeling of visiting someone's parents.

"Uh, 21, almost 22."

Queen Helena was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Four years older."

Li Aili: "..." Your Majesty the Empress, 1000 years from now, your son will be 1000 years older than me!

Queen Helena was slightly surprised for a moment, then said gently to Arthur, "Then, Arthur, you must take good care of her from now on."

Li Aili: "..." No?! Did you skip something?!

Arthur said righteously, "Mother, it's not what you think."

Then, he glanced quickly at Li Aili, a pink bubble floating above his head.
