The open space on the west side of Balfram Palace is a place similar to an event field. Whether it is a government official working here or a noble royal family member, you can relax your tight nerves and body here, and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.

In addition to this small square, in a somewhat old building nearby, there is also the "Imperial Martial Arts Field"-generally speaking, when there are new warriors transcending and entering the realm of "li" After that, it will inevitably be spread to all parts of the empire very quickly. When his fame can reach the emperor's ears, it is very likely that he will be summoned by the emperor himself and invited to "play martial arts." In addition, the "Vander" clan, as members of the guardian royal family, also has the right to use all the facilities here for training and competition.

Of course, this place where countless legends have set foot on it, at this moment is just a leisure time for teenagers and girls. Although the climate in the imperial capital is relatively mild and livable, the cold in winter is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Therefore, Alfin did not rashly choose the location outdoors-but in a side hall next to the martial arts field. In that small room, when Alfin and Heliga opened the door and walked in, there was already a childish teenager waiting with a panic expression.

"Ah, Cedric, it's early." Seemingly surprised, Alfin looked at his younger brother with the same dazzling blond hair and said, "I thought..."

"Don't look at me like I usually do, I actually care about what my brother said this time." The young man called Cedric gave Alfin a dissatisfaction. Heliga froze slightly beside him: Cedric? Isn't this the crown prince of the Ereponia Empire?

"...Hehe, this effect is what you want." Alfin nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Heliga, you don't need to be so formal in the private occasions here. The etiquette, the two of us are privately casual. It's very."

"Ah... in that case." Heliga was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled slightly. He understood that Alfin was helping him relieve his inner pressure. "His Royal Highness, don't call me "sir" anymore... Actually We are the same age. "

"Huh?" Now it was Cedric's turn to be surprised. "Although I didn't think about it before... But how do you say someone who can have such a great experience with your brother... Ah... It's hard to imagine being the same age as me People. I feel hit..."

"Oh, you, it's always like this." Alfin froze, and said to Heiligar. "He has been pestering my brother, wanting to hear the details of what happened in the floating city."

"You, aren't you the same..." Cedric immediately retorted when his sister said that.

"Haha... The two of you are in such a good relationship."

"Ah..." Alfin then remembered that there were outsiders present, and cleared his throat loudly to ease his embarrassment.

"Okay, you two... Since you want to hear the story, um... Then I think about it, where should I start? Just from that beautiful accident and encounter..."

While Cedric and Alfin were listening to Heliga's story with gusto, Fei and Laura were dining together in the restaurant.

"Hold here, don't use too much force, otherwise your fingers will feel sore... Gently, slowly, cut the beef into small pieces-well, yes, that's it." Laura is patiently teaching Fei how to Using the knife and fork in the palace set meal-while eating the right grilled steak, Fei "accidentally" took out the energy on the battlefield and treated the beef in the same way as the enemy. The consequence is that although the beef It was cut into many pieces, but the splashing soup that followed made the servants around him dumbfounded.

"Thank you." Fei knows the knife very well, even if it is not on the battlefield. With a little Laura, she fully understood what the other party meant, and soon she used the knife and fork in a decent way.

"I said... Heliga never taught you this...?" Laura said helplessly while carefully wiping the splashes of grease on Fei's clothes with a damp cloth, "Although this topic sounds possible It’s a bit early... But, if he wants to take you to a formal dinner in the future... what should I do?"

"...I have never eaten anything processed with a knife and fork before...Most of them are fast foods that can be stuffed directly into your mouth, or broth that can be solved with a spoon..." Fei lowered her head. "I... seem to be causing you trouble."

"It's okay... and I don't have the right to say you..." Laura shuddered all over when thinking of her father's frowning face because of the failure of her lady's education plan. "Anyway, anyway, if there is something like this For questions... I can help you."

"...Thank you." Fei bit her lip and nodded lightly. When her eyes met, a mixed feeling surged in Laura's heart. For some reason, she started to feel some twitching in her stomach.

"...What's wrong?" Laura's abnormality couldn't escape Fei's eyes. She asked with concern, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"I remembered something... I didn't sleep well last night, so..." Laura was paralyzed, "It's okay... leave me alone... just take a rest..."

Fei looked suspicious, but still didn't say anything, but gently supported Laura to sit down on the dining chair beside her. Later, Laura dealt with all kinds of problems and concerns of Philippine on the surface, but in fact, she was also thinking about something in her heart.

Why...why when I see Fei, I feel so...heartache...

"--That's it. Colonel Richard is the culprit in the coup, but the man behind the scenes is actually a mysterious organization called "association." The subsequent series of conspiracies, including the emergence of the floating city, were also mutations created by "association" to achieve their own goals. "

"Then..." Alfin asked. She and Cedric were engrossed just now, "Then what happened to Colonel Richard?"

"After the coup was prevented by us, Cassius, the "Juggernaut", returned to Liber and cleaned up the mess with his own hands. Richard was arrested and imprisoned. The Intelligence Department was disbanded in place... Cassius was also unable to let the army. The situation of no owner continued such considerations, and he became the commander of the Liber Kingdom Army again. "

"Col. Richard...it's a bit pitiful." Cedric said softly, "Obviously it was for his country, but it ended up like this."

"Yes... he must be a very capable person, but his actions must have completely lost his prestige in the military and political circles." Alfin nodded.

"Hehe, the two are worthy of the royal family, and they look at the problem from a very different perspective from ordinary people." Looking at the two young people who represent the future of the empire, at this moment, they are thinking about everything Heliga has said. Heilijia also felt a little relieved in her heart, "Her Majesty Libel thinks so too... She understands Richard's loyalty to the country, but she can't turn a blind eye to the dissatisfaction of Richard in the political and military circles. Therefore. ——"
