Ayla and Sean chose to rest in a hotel near the imperial city.
It was an inn in a busy market...but surprisingly, there were very few people staying there. The entire inn's decoration showed that it was a place only the upper class could enter. Sean guessed that it was the same place as the Haidiel Hotel in the Basaran Empire, a hotel that only court officials and nobles had the opportunity to stay in.
Fortunately, Ayla had the temperament of a queen, and Sean dressed like a foreign noble, so they were not stopped when they checked in.
"It seems that only people with status can stay in this place." Sean asked Ayla about the hotel while having dinner in the evening.
"Indeed, this place was recommended by an acquaintance of mine. It should be quite safe."
It was the first time in more than 20 years that the two of them had dinner together. It could be said that they were a family eating at the same table.
Since Sean came into this world, almost no one can sit opposite him to eat!
Even when it came to Jagun, the Sun King acted like an elder, but his younger brothers and sisters didn't like him very much.
"By the way, do you still remember the alchemist girl from the daytime?" Ayla suddenly said. The person she was talking about should be Rachel.
"Rachel Christian?"
"Yes, it's her. The owner of this inn is from the Christian family, a prominent family in Kserk. That's why those provocative cavalrymen outside the city during the day finally stopped mocking us."
Sean suddenly recalled what happened outside the city gate during the day. So this is what happened.
"So, in fact, it's not that serious if Qi'er and Luo Xia neglect their duties. As long as she is still a daughter of the Christian family, she will be fine."
"It's hard to say... After all, this country has two stronger military regimes, just like you said. If Marshal Hogheim doesn't try his best to protect them, he will probably be picked on by the other side. The situation is not optimistic, but as long as no one finds Occam, this matter won't involve too much. At least the two alchemists will not be punished other than demotion." Aila explained.
Anyway, as long as the person is not found, it means he is dead. At most, it is a dereliction of duty, not the extent of deceiving the country and colluding with a fugitive.
"Why are you suddenly concerned about this? Are you interested in that alchemist?" Ayla smiled meaningfully, leaving Sean with a puzzled look.
"Where do you get this imagination from? Did I ever say that?!"
"Ha... Sorry, although a young and capable wizard like you is very attractive, you don't have a deep background after all. If you meet a suitable family vassal, it would be a good choice. At least you won't have to worry about those messy things for the rest of your life, and you can also avoid contact with the power of the ancient gods."
Well……
Looking at the other person's serious expression, Sean was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Even after more than 20 years of separation, I am still being urged to get married by my own mother.
Sean is probably in his early twenties now, which is nearly ten years younger than Ayla at this time. In the eyes of ordinary nobles, he is already of marriageable age.
It is said that my cousin...
That is, Jagun's eldest princess, Celia, has been arranged by the Sun King to marry the child of an imperial minister. Perhaps for this reason, she behaved more assertively, hoping to gain the status of queen to dominate her own marriage!
Seeing that Sean didn't answer, Ayla couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Mi'er, who had gone out to make contacts, finally came back and whispered something in Aila's ear. Sean only saw the other party frown.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the expression that seemed very disappointed.
"My acquaintance said that the Emperor of Kserk might be difficult to meet! Sean... let's wait in the room after dinner. He needs to come over."
"Yeah, okay." He just nodded.
Sean guessed that the so-called acquaintance was either an informant bribed by Jagun or an undercover agent loyal to this side.
Anyway, this kind of thing should be common as far as the country is concerned. Sean believes that even in the era he lived in, there were informants from other countries in the Jagun Hall!
…………
After dinner, Sean and Ayla stayed in the room.
Because Lucille had to practice magic lessons every day, she would go to rest early after using up a certain amount of magic power, leaving only the two of them and Mier in the room.
It was probably not until nightfall, when the streets became less crowded, that a horse-drawn carriage hurriedly arrived and stopped downstairs of the hotel...
A hunched-over, elderly-looking man hurried in.
Mesula, who was standing at the door, led me into the room...
The candlelight was slightly lit.
He was indeed an old man with a white beard, and he actually chose to kneel down the first moment he came in.
"Honourable Khalifa!"
"No need to be so troublesome, just stand up." Before he could kneel down, Aila stopped him with magic and stood three meters away from the two of them.
The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties, his beard was white, but there were still a few black strands in his hair... He glanced over here with a look of confusion on his face.
"How's the situation at the palace? What happened to Emperor Williams?" Mi'er came to report the situation during dinner, and now she just wanted to hear it from the other party in person.
"His Majesty the Emperor has always been well, but he has been busy caring for the little princess since she fell ill six months ago. It's said that her illness was so serious that the Emperor, deeply attached to his daughter, has only occasionally participated in government affairs for a long time, leaving most of his time to the marshals."
