When Li Aili left, Panticilin had already bought a copy of "The Holy Dragon's Penal Code" to study.

Li Aili: "..."

When they boarded the carriage to return to the palace.

Arthur looked out the window and asked, seemingly casually, "You like elves?"

Li Aili was silently praying to the Dragon God, asking for His blessing...

Please, please, don't let her influence the housing prices in Tankar!

She didn't hear Arthur's question clearly and nodded haphazardly.

Arthur: "..."

Upon arriving at the palace, Arthur had just helped Ellie down from the carriage when he saw Conrad approaching.

“Your Highness,” Conrad first bowed respectfully to the prince, then looked at Ellie, “Miss.”

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked.

Unless there's something wrong, this busy chief housekeeper wouldn't come out to greet them.

Conrad nodded. "Your Majesty... has brought back a child."

“It’s the Winter Wolf Clan…” Conrad took a deep breath, “their only child.”

Arthur: "..."

He paused for a moment, then spoke again, his voice hoarse, "Where is he?"

"In the main hall."

"The officials and nobles have some disagreements... about the fate of the Winter Wolf orphan."

“I’ll go take a look.” Arthur’s face darkened.

Upon hearing this, Li Aili couldn't help but mutter to herself: Winter Wolf... could it be... Wolf Winter Wolf?

orphans...

“Conrad,” Li Aili called out to the chief palace steward who was about to leave, “What exactly happened to the Winter Wolf clan?”

All Li Aili knew was that there was a war going on over there, and even though the emperor personally led the expedition to suppress it, the results were still devastating.

The gods joined in.

Two princes of Zhenguo have died in the Holy Dragon...

The most terrifying thing is that Prince Caesar's faction and Prince Alex's faction are now locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Division is the most terrible problem.

However, now that the Emperor is above, even if the people below make a fuss, they can do so quietly.

No one dared to make a scene in public.

Conrad briefly explained the situation on the Winter Wolves' side.

Originally, the Winter Wolf clan suffered an invasion from the Abyss.

The races of Hell and the Abyss, these lower planes, launch a full-scale attack on the upper planes every ten days or so.

The invasion of the abyss was already chaotic enough.

Unfortunately, there was an otherworldly creature called a 'minion flayer' who colluded with the abyssal creatures and tricked Winter Wolf.

Mind flayers are humanoid otherworldly creatures with octopus heads.

They are hermaphroditic and produce a tiny parasite. This parasite can invade living organisms through the eyes.

Once it reaches the brain, it will devour the organism's brain and then... complete the parasitism.

At that time, the appearance of the parasitized person will change, the head will gradually deform, and eventually grow into the shape of an octopus.

After eliminating the abyssal creatures that had invaded the snowy region.

The Winter Wolf clan was almost entirely isolated.

The final inspection... none were spared.

Only when they were outside the snowy region did the wolf king's cub survive.

"Then... what was the name of that little winter wolf who escaped death?" Li Aili asked.

“Wolf. Wolf Winter Wolf,” Conrad said.

Li Aili: "…………"

Conrad said, "Because of His Highness Archie... because of Archie's matter, many officials strongly oppose Wolf staying."

Li Aili looked at Conrad in shock, "That's...that's Winter Wolf's only child!"

"Those were the Winter Wolves who sacrificed their entire clan to protect the Holy Dragon!"

"How could they be so heartless?!"

Conrad sighed. "Yes, Winter Wolf, because of the Holy Dragon... they were wiped out."

"Nobody wants to see another Archie."

Li Aili said, "He can't be Archie!"

Because, a thousand years later, only he and Victoria will be there to accompany Arthur!

How could he be Archie!

Conrad said, "Yes. I also believe in Master Wolf."

“A person shouldn’t stop trusting others just because they’ve been hurt before,” the elderly butler said gently.

However, it is clear that politics is not a philosophy of life.

No one dared to gamble, because no one could say that they were willing to risk everything to vouch for this young man who had lost his family.

No one can guarantee it.

If a second assassination attempt on Prince Zhenguo were to occur, who could bear the consequences?

Li Aili was bursting with pent-up frustration.

That child's entire family and clan were killed in battle!

Why do you have to stab him in the heart like this?

“I can! I can vouch for him! I can even raise him!” Li Aili blurted out.

Conrad first glanced at Li Aili with surprise.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "What you say... people might listen to."

Just then.

A dragon's roar resounded.

Conrad looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, a dragon rider squad was rapidly flying towards the dragon tower.

Conrad: "Ah! Why is Princess Sophia back at this time!"

“Sophia?” The name sounded familiar to Li Aili.

She quickly remembered.

Sophia, daughter of Prince Alex, is the Valkyrie of the Empire and one of the current Pillars of the Nation.

Sophia...

Will Sophia target Wolf because of her love for him/her and her hatred for him/her?

Li Aili hurriedly said, "Quick! Conrad! Take me to the council hall!"

Conrad was clearly also concerned about this issue.

"Okay! Miss, please follow me!"
