Chapter 429: Hongzhen Palace

Did you agree? Pullman looked at the silver-haired girl in disbelief. He thought there was little hope this time, but unexpectedly, the wise teacher seemed to have figured something out and agreed.

While being surprised, a wave of delight also rose in his heart. If Pullman had not become more stable after becoming a leader, he would have almost stood up and shouted to vent his excitement.

After this change of mind, he began to consider how to introduce this girl to other like-minded friends. These people were currently the top brass and department heads of Clansia. Although he was Clansia's supreme leader, he actually did not put on airs in front of his former companions. The atmosphere among his current top companions was also relatively relaxed, unlike the rigidity and constant conflict of those long-established countries.

Should we hold a grand ceremony, or let everyone get to know each other privately first so they can prepare themselves mentally?

He was a little worried that the teacher would be looked down upon by others because of his young appearance, which was not a scene he wanted to see.

It is better to hold a grand ceremony, which will appear more legitimate. Otherwise, it will be like the Eastern proverb that Tolan said, "When the white dragon and the fish are in submission, they will be in trouble and will be prepared for it."

As if he saw what Pullman was thinking, Loran Hill spoke out first.

"Don't introduce me to anyone else for now. Although I accepted your invitation, I have other things to deal with first. I don't expect to stay in Clancia permanently until early next year."

"Okay." Pullman nodded and asked again.

"Then why don't I arrange a place for the teacher to live in the palace? This will make communication much easier. Currently, many officials from Clansia also live in the palace, which makes it easier to protect them."

The royal palace of Clansia covers a huge area. In Solander, a city with a population of over one million, the palace built on the mountain occupies one-ninth of the area. It is located in the center of Solander, overlooking the buildings of the entire city.

Regarding this, Loran Hill did not refuse, but simply nodded in agreement. It was indeed not a good idea to stay in the hotel all the time.

After the conversation, it was already noon. Pullman asked Parisa to bring lunch and then asked her to bring the map of the palace.

"Teacher, what kind of environment would you like to live in? The royal family of Xifeng was once very extravagant, and they built palaces in various styles within the royal palace, including small lakes, fields, forests, watchtowers, towers, and so on."

"Please find me a quiet place." The girl shook her head slightly. Her needs were not big, and it would be bad if the place was too empty.

"Here then."

He pointed out one of the locations, which was on the southwest side of the palace, in the woods behind a hill. It was at the corner of the palace, not crowded, and the scenery was excellent. Sitting on the slope of the light yellow lawn, one could overlook most of the city.

"Um."

After seeing that Loran Hill agreed, Pullman asked Palinsa to lead him and help set up the facilities.

"Can you tell Palinsha your identity? It will be much easier. She is very tight-lipped and won't reveal it casually."

"Sure." "It wouldn't be a big deal if just one more person knew about it."

Pullman called Parisa in and whispered some instructions in her ear. The secretary-general-like figure widened his eyes slightly and looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief. It took a long time for him to calm down.

"I understand, Lord Pullman, and Lord Sage Loranhill." She bent down and bowed deeply. When she raised her head, her eyes were full of eagerness and admiration. She was completely different from before.

This isn't good, the girl thought to herself as she looked at her expression. She had thought this maid was cool, capable, and calm, but she hadn't expected her to change so quickly.

"Please follow me."

She stretched out her hand and led the way for Loran Hill, keeping her back straight all the way, as if she wanted to show herself better.

After walking through the long corridors and palaces, passing various busy departments, and passing through checkpoints guarded by guards, the two finally arrived outside a palace.

The lawn here is well-maintained, and there are neatly trimmed shrubs on both sides of the white stone road. Climbing up the low steps, there is a small gatehouse in front, with a guard standing on each side.

"Hello, Lady Palinsa." Upon seeing them, the two guards first bowed their heads in greeting, then looked up at the two of them.

Palinsa is the secretary general of the palace. She often moves around, delivering documents and arranging matters, so most of the guards here know her.

The maid nodded and asked the two to open the locked door.

The heavy copper lock turned, and the light golden door slowly opened, revealing a graceful courtyard before their eyes. There weren't many magnificent buildings here, only simple black iron guardrails outlined in a vine pattern, surrounding a few apple trees. The white stone road meandered upwards, leading to a small hillside where there was a small house. Next to the house was a large tree with lush branches and leaves.

The canopy of the tree covers a small part of the roof, making it feel cool in the hot summer. The house next to it is painted a light blue, a very light blue like the ones in the garden. (See the reference picture here, but the gold decoration in the picture is not here)

The corners of the house are decorated with white, like simple reliefs, outlining flowers, stars, trees, etc.

"This is Hongzhan Palace, where Princess Lanisa lived a hundred years ago. Because she was frail and sickly since childhood, the king and queen loved her very much and built a palace here. The air here is also very good."
