It was just a trip out of the empire to visit the Kingdom of Kant.
Why bring so many guards?
Not to mention that the number of knights and demi-human guards already exceeded their expectations.
Even Grand Knight Gwen has come here personally; it seems she intends to provide Aurelion with strict protection.
Is it really necessary to protect a princess like this just for a trip abroad?
It seems the emperor really does protect this daughter very well.
The foreign ministers had more in mind than just that.
Since even the Gwen and Clavner family's demi-human teams have come here.
So, does this mean...?
Viktor is coming too?
While they were pondering...
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept across everyone's faces.
Countless people looked up upon seeing this.
Suddenly, a chaotic hurricane swept up from the clouds.
The white clouds were swirled into a giant, vortex-like eye, and the rolling wind seemed to descend from the sky like a coiled serpent.
call--
As the storm approached, the surrounding air swirled rapidly.
Aurelion's armor rattled and clattered in the wind, and the knights, feeling the powerful breeze, seemed to lose their footing.
White, rising mist slowly gathered, only to suddenly scatter and explode in all directions.
As the storm subsided, a dark figure enveloped in white patterns emerged.
That's Victor Clevina.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Victor landed in front of Aurelion and gave her a graceful bow:
"Your Highness."
The moment those demi-human guards saw Viktor, they also faced Aurelion and knelt on one knee.
The bone armor on their bodies collided with each other, producing a loud and clear sound.
Their voices, delicate yet resilient, merged into a powerful shout that emanated from the ranks.
"Your Highness!"
The passersby who had gathered around, the knights waiting on the side, and the solemn diplomats all trembled at the sight before them.
Victor Clevina has really arrived!
Everyone knows that Victor is currently recognized as the most authoritative fourth-tier mage in the empire.
He had only been a fourth-tier mage for a few months.
This young and powerful mage was now going to accompany them.
The Foreign Minister and the group of clueless knights all sensed something was wrong.
Could it be that this trip to the kingdom wasn't for a visit, but rather to start a war?
The procession gradually came together, and the riders guided the horses toward the carriage.
Viktor and Aurelion walked side by side.
Behind them followed Gwen and a group of demi-humans.
The demi-humans surrounded the diplomats as if protecting them.
The diplomats were somewhat apprehensive; beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads as they deliberately kept a certain distance from the demi-humans around them.
After all, those standing beside them were demi-humans.
Even though they appear disciplined, diplomats see that the demi-humans always possess an undeniable bestial nature.
As Viktor followed Aurelian and was about to board the train, he gave her these words of advice:
"Your Highness, as a princess, you will be mindful of your words and actions during your trip to the Kingdom of Kant."
"You represent the attitude of the entire empire."
Every word Victor said reached Aurelion's ears.
She nodded quietly, keeping Viktor's words in mind.
The Kingdom of Kanté and the Kingdom of Karencia have somewhat different national situations.
The empire was a highly centralized imperial state. Even if the subjects had titles and responsibilities, the final decisions had to be made according to the emperor's will.
The Kingdom of Kant, however, is somewhat different.
Beneath the capital of the Kingdom of Kant lie hundreds of lords.
When the king issued any decree, it was not delivered directly to each of his subjects, but rather through a hierarchy of rank, passing the message down to the next lower-ranking lord.
The orders were carried out one after another.
Each lord in his own city is like a mini-king.
They control the economic, cultural, and political trends of the entire territory, and even the rules within the territory.
The commoners within the territory may never see an official with more authority than their lord, even if they spend their entire lives.
Aurelion nodded as she walked to the frontmost carriage.
Victor continued, saying:
"By the way, Your Highness, this journey is very long, and the comfort of the train may not be as good as you expect. The environment after arriving in the kingdom may also be different from the palace."
So he turned around and called out to the group of demi-humans:
Vanilla.
As the sound rang out, a white-haired girl with cat ears stepped out from the group.
She stood before Aurelion and bowed deeply to the noble princess.
Looking at Xiang Zilan's appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Even demi-humans are wearing maid outfits?
This demi-human maid's behavior and appearance are quite different from traditional concepts.
Her manners and lovely face even made Aurelion feel a little sorry for her.
She had never seen such a gentle and refined demi-human, which was completely different from the barbaric image that had been passed down.
But the vanilla in front of me didn't look as wild as the rumors suggested.
Aurelion was somewhat puzzled, but then she heard Victor continue:
"Your Highness, let her take care of your daily needs during this time."
