Constantinople became a dark, bottomless pit.
The kind that links to hell.
Li Aili slowly turned her head to look at Conrad, "...He did it?"
Conrad's mind raced as he considered the possibility of covering for His Highness.
But long-forgotten memories resurfaced.
When the emperor and empress first got married, their life was full of ups and downs.
The emperor could not balance his roles as emperor and husband.
At that time, the Empress was still an innocent and carefree young girl, and she would throw tantrums at him every few days.
Whenever the couple had a fight, the emperor would be kicked out of the bedroom.
If Conrad were to try to cover for the Emperor... then the Emperor would spend twice as much time sleeping in his study.
so--
The old butler replied almost without hesitation, "Yes."
The experienced old butler immediately replied, "Because you were gone by then."
“I’ve been by the master’s side for over 1,000 years and I’ve never seen him so devastated,” the old butler said softly.
He didn't deliberately use a sorrowful tone, because what he said was enough to make Li Aili feel heartbroken.
Li Aili fell silent.
"I didn't leave on purpose," she explained for the first time after returning.
The old butler said softly, "Master knows, that's why he's been waiting for you."
"I have never given up."
Li Aili's heart felt as if it had been pinched lightly.
She pursed her lips. "Tell me about the past thousand years, okay?"
Conrad nodded. "Before that, your friend arrived."
"Ellie!?"
A familiar voice came from behind me.
Li Aili turned around and saw the half-tree spirit Zhenzhen Badanmu, and Zhegumu carrying a bow and arrow walking over.
"You're back?"
"That's wonderful!"
Li Aili looked somewhat embarrassed.
She had her love for Arthur taken away by Cupid.
In short, she was obsessed during that time, abandoning all her good friends in order to leave Arthur.
Everything's been left here.
Li Aili wanted to explain, but felt she didn't know where to begin.
Fortunately, both tree spirits and centaurs are very simple and honest races.
Especially...
After the West Forest has become home to too many dangerous species, it has completely evolved into an SSS-level dangerous area (as rated by the Adventurers' Guild) that is known for its danger within a radius of ten miles.
Just kidding, without shrinking potions, any Naga revealing their true form here would cause panic.
“Ah, actually…” Li Aili found it difficult to speak.
Conrad, however, spoke up at the opportune moment, saying, "The lady has reconciled with the duke."
"Now, the lady's fiefdom is in Emerald Valley."
"There's a bigger and more comfortable forest over there. Would any of you be interested in moving there?"
Zhegumu swung its tail and looked anxiously at the huge black hole that stretched straight into hell not far away.
"Move! Move it now!"
Zhenzhen said, "Ah! I've been wanting to go find you, but Jasmine sent a message saying that you're still not quite right."
"Now that the problem is finally solved, of course we're going to your territory!"
As she spoke, Zhenzhen bent down warmly and gave Ellie a tight hug.
As a result of this large movement, several small snake tails dangled from her tree canopy.
Li Aili: "..."
Her serpent phobia almost relapsed.
Zhenzhen raised her hand and quickly tucked the little snake's tail into her tree canopy.
"Ah, aren't they cute? My Naga's little pups~ Ahh, they're so adorable."
Zhenzhen's expression suddenly changed, and she raised her fist, "Much cuter than that ungrateful brat."
Li Aili: "Pepe? What happened to Pepe?"
Zhenzhen was furious. "That brat has completely joined your husband's shadow army, and now he's even become the leader."
Although she said that, she couldn't hide her worry, "Ellie..."
"I didn't mean anything by it..."
"But what your husband did was really dangerous."
“Pepe is the hope of our race.”
Li Aili immediately understood what Zhenzhen meant, "I will talk to him."
Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you! I knew his heart was completely wandering outside."
"Even if I force him to come back, I can't keep him..."
"But he cherishes your kindness. Perhaps if you ask him to stay by your side, he will agree."
Upon hearing this, Conrad, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly felt his eyelids twitch.
"How much longer are you going to talk?" The Bone-Breaking Wood's tail swung faster and faster.
Li Aili: "Alright, go and inform the clansmen to prepare for the move."
"By the way, are Borgard and that Sphinx still around? And those Cyclopes?"
If possible, pack them together and take them with you.
...
Upon receiving the assignment, Wendy Nice immediately set off.
She hesitated.
Did you go there as a man or as a woman?
Of course, this trouble only bothered her briefly for 5 seconds.
Then, she happily took several bottles of 'hair growth potion' with her.
When going out.
Thomason, with a gloomy face, leaned against her door.
Wendy was startled.
"Ah!" Wendy clutched her chest.
Upon seeing that it was a 'big, dumb guy,' he rolled his eyes dramatically. 'Have you taken the wrong medicine?'
Thomason noticed her small bundle and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Where are you going?"
Wendy didn't have time to deal with this 'big oaf' right now. "Go help my sister with her business. Humph~ Get lost, I don't have time to joke with you right now."
As she spoke, she carried her small bundle and passed by Thomason.
