Gu Qi took a look at the person who came. He was wearing a white knight's suit with a purple iris embroidered on his shoulder.

"What can I do for you?"

Gu Qi asked this because he could not sense any malice in their expressions.

The leading knight said, "I'm sorry, young lady. Our young master has never been out of the royal city, so he is more interested in people outside the royal city. I would like you to go and get to know them."

He said this in a serious tone, as if he was talking about something very serious.

Gu Qi's mouth twitched slightly, but he still said: "If that's the case, then we should also have the right to choose to refuse."

The knight was obviously a little shocked when he heard this answer, but he still said, "Of course."

At his gesture, several people moved aside to make way for them.

Gu Qi smiled at him, then followed Yuan Qingze to the direction indicated by the sign.

The knight raised his eyes and looked over there, then said to the person behind him, "Go back and report to the young master."

"yes!"

A group of people turned and left.

There were only a group of passers-by around them, watching them and whispering something to each other.

Gu Qi and Yuan Qingze, who had already noticed those people going away, stopped and looked in that direction.

"That's the symbol of the Iona family." said Hara Qingze.

Gu Qi was surprised, because she really didn't expect that this family had such a straightforward name.

Hara Kiyosawa seemed to read her thoughts from her expression and explained, "Of course it wasn't called this name a long time ago, but after their lost daughter became the queen, they named it after the queen's favorite flower."

Gu Qi suddenly realized, but in his heart he still admired Yuan Qingze for knowing this.

Yuan Qingze smiled and said, "I have heard of the Osna Empire before."

It was also known that Queen Lola was actually frail and sickly, and had always been relying on the empire's best quality medicinal herbs to sustain her health.

They got on the suspension car that was specially sent to pick them up. Since there were three of them, they were given a large room with three bedrooms.

Yuan Qingze stayed to arrange all the necessary equipment and medicinal materials, after all, they might have to stay here for a while.

Have to maintain Wen Yiyi's vital signs.

Gu Qi followed the leader to handle the relevant competition procedures.

“This Mechanic Competition is quite special. There is only one competition. However, because the competition will be longer, all the players will eat and live here.”

"If you have any request, just press the button in the room and someone will come to help you."

Gu Qi was thoughtful. From this perspective, this competition seemed to have a clear purpose.

"I want to ask, is there any information about the competition?"

The guide was a little surprised, as if he had not expected her to ask such a question.

"Didn't anyone tell you when you signed up?"

Gu Qi was confused. She recalled the applicant she met in the town of Erdos.

He was happy to sign up himself, but he really didn't mention anything.

Seeing the confusion on her face, the guide looked a little unhappy, and suddenly there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes when he looked at her.

"There is a hard requirement for this competition, which is that participants must be able to build A-class mechas."

He originally thought that since she was so young and could participate in the competition, she must be an unknown genius, but he didn't expect that she was just a relative!

What a courage!

Aren't you afraid that the second prince will convict you?

At this moment, Gu Qi stood there in a daze, as if he had been struck by lightning.

A sense of absurdity welled up in my heart.

No wonder she was the only one in the town of Aldos who signed up, and why the boy who signed up didn't mention this.

In fact, Alke was really wronged. He thought that since someone could sign up, it must be assumed that they could manufacture A-class mechas. Who would have thought that there would be someone who didn't know about this requirement.

Suddenly she remembered the Iris family she met on the way here. It seemed that their young master had seen outsiders before, but he had never seen such a young A-class mecha master.

Gu Qi covered her face. Is it too late for her to escape now?

Since this is a competition that requires A-level mecha masters, the level of this competition must be very high.

Maybe it was a competition held by the royal family.

On the way here, I happened to hear something about the second prince. I guess Helian Chu has already returned to the Osna Empire. Could this competition be organized by him?

With a hint of hope, Gu Qi asked, "Who is the organizer of this competition?"

The guide is no longer just suspicious, now he is even more contemptuous.

"Of course it's the Second Prince Ryan!"

The only S-level genius in their Osna Empire!

Gu Qi asked with a look of despair: "Can I still withdraw?"

Guide: "Of course you can. Please return the registration fee in full. Also, please move out immediately with your companions."

Gu Qi immediately said seriously: "Since we are here, we must do our best. Is there anything else we need to do?"

Just kidding, she didn't know how many Austrian coins she had spent along the way.

Give it back?

Don't think about it.

She looked at her outfit hesitantly and touched the golden wig hanging in front of her chest. She probably... couldn't recognize herself, right?

The guide felt that this person seemed to have some mental problems, and emphasized:

"Once you complete the formalities, you can't regret it. If you don't build an A-class mecha by then, you will be convicted!"

Gu Qi was now only thinking whether she could deceive Helian Chu with this outfit, but after thinking about it, she felt that she could just make a mediocre mecha to be inconspicuous.

And considering the cost of materials, she could save a little and make some profit from the difference.

Besides, Helian Chu probably wouldn't come to supervise the work in person. Thinking of this, she felt a little happier.

I didn't notice what the guide said and just nodded.

After signing, she received a positioning bracelet and left.

This bracelet is the symbol of the participants in the Mechanic Competition. With this bracelet, you can make purchases in the royal city and the expenses will be recorded in the name of the Second Prince.

Of course, as its name suggests, this also allows the location to be monitored from above.

Gu Qi pulled the bracelet and found that it was indeed not easy to take off without their key.

Unless you don't want your hands anymore.

She moved her bracelet, looking thoughtful.

Then he suddenly stopped and turned back, looking at the guide in front of him who was talking to someone nearby and gave a kind smile.

"How's the procedure going?" Yuan Qingze came out of the room and saw Gu Qi sitting on the sofa with a worried look on his face.

Gu Qi: "It's done, but this competition is held by the royal family."

Yuan Qingze raised his eyebrows: "I thought you knew, is there something wrong?"

Gu Qi: "Uncle, did you know this a long time ago?"

Yuan Qingze sat down and said calmly, "Isn't this obvious? If it weren't the royal family, who else would spend so much material and financial resources?"

Initially, he thought there was nothing wrong with it, as the only person in the entire Osna Empire who could recognize him was His Majesty.

What's more, he would not appear in front of him.

But now seeing Gu Qi's reaction, he raised his eyes and asked, "Someone in the royal family knows you."

This is the only possibility.

Gu Qi sat down helplessly and explained to him the matter of Helian Chu.

After listening to this, Yuan Qingze held his chin and smiled.

"Your Majesty Helans is still so cunning!"

Gu Qi: ...Is this the time to praise him?

"And I asked around, and I learned that the Osna Empire has signed a peace agreement with the Federation."

Gu Qi was mainly thinking that if she was accidentally exposed, would the peace agreement be affected because of her?

If this is the case, she really needs to think carefully about this competition.

When Hara Qingze heard this, he was a little surprised.

The Commonwealth and the Osna Empire had been enemies for hundreds of years, but they never expected that there would be a day of peace.

It seems that the second prince, whom he has never met, is very important to Osna!

"If that's the case, I think the peace agreement will not be invalidated even if you are exposed, but Helans will probably ask the Federation for compensation." Yuan Qingze's words were meant to comfort her.

Gu Qi sat down obediently and listened to his explanation.

"Once a peace agreement is signed, it must not be violated, otherwise your Majesty will lose the support of the people."

No one likes war.

"I think Helans is not just doing this for the Second Prince. It seems that the people of the Osna Empire have begun to feel tired of the endless wars over the years."

Moreover, from the beginning to the end, it was the Osna Empire that initiated the war.

Gu Qi nodded in understanding: "I see."

That way, she would have fewer things to worry about.

"Uncle, I'm going to go out and see if I can buy some energy bars. It's better to prepare early."

The energy bar is the main power source of the starship. When he was in the town of Erdos before, Gu Qi asked about this thing, which was only available in the royal city.

"Okay, then be careful."

"Um."

In the castle not far from them, a banquet was taking place to welcome the return of the Second Prince.

All the nobles in the Osna Empire who were worthy of being named were invited to participate.

Among them were many beautiful and noble ladies from aristocratic families.

"Cousin, welcome back." The handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes walked to the balcony holding a glass of champagne.

Ryan tugged at his tie and clinked his glass with his.

"Qiong, long time no see, how are you?"

Qiong smiled, her smile was gentle and light.

"It's the same as always. My aunt gave me her medicine."

Ryan nodded. Joan was the son of Queen Lola's sister and suffered from the same disease as her.

Joan walked up to him. From here the balcony overlooked the street in the distance.

"Cousin, I saw a young and beautiful lady at the bus stop today." Qiong suddenly said.

Ryan glanced at him and asked, "Why, you're here to introduce me to a candidate for the imperial concubine?"

Qiong shook his head and chuckled, "I think it won't matter if I'm not on this job. There should be plenty of people in the lobby outside."

Ryan felt depressed just thinking about it. He originally felt that holding this party was embarrassing for him.

I didn’t expect it to be a blind date in disguise!

If it weren't for his mother's unquestionable look, he would have slipped away by now.

"So, what do you mean by this?"

Qiong raised the champagne and took a sip, frowning slightly.

I never thought that I would finally get to drink the champagne that I never had the chance to drink, and it would taste like this.

"That lady is here to participate in the mechanic competition."

Ryan became interested after hearing this, "Young A-class mechanical master..."

"interesting."
