The nobles' gazes followed the sound coming from outside the palace gates, turning with tension and curiosity towards its source.
The moment they saw the two women at the door, many nobles' minds went blank.
If they are not mistaken
That beautiful woman was none other than Viktor's sister, Leah Clementa.
And accompanying her was the elegant and noble elf, none other than Kokot Yad.
This scene seemed familiar to the nobles, as if they had witnessed it before.
They remembered that Lia had previously visited the palace with the same elf.
The shape of the cloud beneath the elf was exactly the same as this one.
Now, they've appeared here once again.
The nobles present were already familiar with Lia.
Previously, Lia was merely a merchant in the Clavner family, with no connection whatsoever with the ministers involved in imperial politics.
They didn't even bother to glance at Lia.
But now things are completely different. The nobles present are even trying to curry favor with Lia and get close to her.
The reason behind this is simple: the Clevner family's influence has now reached a remarkable level.
Viktor's power and his almost frightening influence were an unspoken consensus among all the nobles present.
That's someone they can't afford to mess with.
Lia is also Victor's sister.
Although these nobles were well aware that the Clevner family, nominally headed by Victor,
In reality, all the family's affairs, big and small, were handled by Lia herself.
Victor was just a hands-off manager, completely neglecting the affairs of the territory.
Therefore, under such conditions, Lia's status was naturally even more noble.
At least among the many nobles present, none of them could afford to offend her.
But why did Lia suddenly visit the palace today?
And she brought that elf with her.
The ministers were already very familiar with who this elf was.
Former member of the Dharma Assembly.
She is said to be the queen of the elves.
The elves are a mysterious race to humans, and Kokot, as the Elf Queen, is undoubtedly of even greater prestige.
At that moment, the emperor's earlier words flashed through the minds of the nobles.
"Don't stand at the doorway; it's not good if outsiders see you."
Upon hearing these words, the nobles were all bewildered and began to have doubts.
Could Your Majesty be referring to the Elf Queen's upcoming visit?
Oh, in that case, there really is nothing wrong with it; they do need to give way.
Hearing Cocotte's greeting, Aubrey smiled and nodded slightly to Cocotte, then said:
"haven't seen you for a long time."
“But we just met once not long ago.”
Koko sat cross-legged on the cloud, listening to Aubrey's words, and scratched his head:
"Oh, is that so?"
"Sorry, I've been sleeping a lot lately."
Aubrey had intended to remain upright, but upon hearing this, his shoulders relaxed and a forgiving smile appeared on his face.
"You seem to be in good spirits lately."
In his memory, Cocotte always liked to curl up on her cloud-like form and enjoy long dreams.
He remembered the last time Cocotte visited, she entered the palace almost sleepy.
He rubbed his eyes before he could see him as the emperor.
At that time, Kokot was languid and sleepy, seemingly about to drift back into a dream at any moment.
But now, she seems like a completely different person, so full of energy that she's almost too lively.
It's noticeably different from before, at least in comparison.
Upon hearing this, Cocotte's face broke into a mischievous smile:
"Hehe, I think so too."
Then, her gaze shifted to Aubrey, a hint of worry in her eyes:
"Hmm... but your condition..."
As a nature spirit, Kokot possesses the ability to perceive the essence of life.
She could sense that although Aubrey appeared outwardly glamorous, the flame of life within her was weak and fragile.
Like a candle flame about to burn out, it could be extinguished at any moment.
Aubrey's condition is getting worse and worse.
It's even worse than when we last met.
But she didn't say it explicitly.
For humans, whose lives are short, lifespan is an extremely sensitive topic.
Many people even have an unspeakable taboo about this.
She closed her eyes, rested her chin on one hand, and fell into deep thought without saying a word.
As the Elf Queen and Emperor Auberly engaged in pleasant conversation, the nobles fell silent one by one.
No one dared to interrupt the conversation between the two high-ranking leaders.
However, today should have been the day they were persuading His Majesty Oberly to attend court.
How did it turn into a reunion of old friends?
At this moment, Marquis Tsner also lowered his head, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He finally understood why Riboot had stopped him earlier; it turned out that a distinguished guest was about to arrive.
And this guest was a noble elf.
Elves represent nature.
As human beings, whether nobles or commoners, they are taught from childhood to always maintain awe of nature.
Therefore, discussions about the succession to the throne will obviously have to wait until the Elf Queen departs before continuing.
