Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lifa and Rennes walked into the room side by side. Lifa said to Rennes after he took a seat on the chair, “There are a few things I need to talk to you about, Lord Rennes!”
“By all means!”
Rennes nodded. In fact, he already knew what Lifa wanted to ask.
“I’ve finished making the arrangement for the work on the east wall. But the whereabouts of the angel is unknown. You should know where she is, right, Lord Rennes?” Lifa asked with worry thick in her voice.
The angels were a mysterious and powerful race in this world.
On one hand, angels brought good fortune. On the other hand, angels also brought disputes.
In this world, there were many countries that had relied on the power of angels to become powerful. There were also many countries that had been destroyed by angels.
Last night, on the eve of the New Year, the angel that descended from the sky had destroyed the city wall of the capital city as well as a large number of houses. She also caused some injuries to the soldiers manning the city wall. Although no one had died, it was still an ominous sign.
If an angel really did appear in a country, no king would be willing to deal with the angel. They would all wish for the angel to go away.
Because if there was even the slightest offense, the angel would pass judgment upon them; it did not matter that they were a king.
Befriending an angel was even more difficult.
Therefore, Lifa did not want to get involved. She wished that the angel would just disappear from the Noah Kingdom without causing trouble.
Rennes did not want to hide anything from Lifa, so he answered honestly, “The angel is in my place. There are some problems among the angel race, some sort of a coup. I plan to go with her and come back before spring.”
“The angel race?”
Lifa was a little surprised at that. She immediately said, “I naturally won’t question where you go or what you do. I just hope that you’ll be careful and return in one piece!”
“I will. Although the problems of the angel race are a bit troublesome to deal with, it isn’t to the point where I can’t settle it. Moreover, being on good terms with the angel race will also be beneficial to the Noah Kingdom. If we have angels guarding the border fortresses, no enemy would dare to invade us!”
Rennes’ words were sincere. Of course, these were all just side benefits to him. His real goal was still to increase the mysterious light spots in his body. Why would he care about the life and death of the angel race otherwise?
After listening to Rennes’ explanation, Lifa also knew that Rennes had already made up his mind.
After a while, Lifa’s frown relaxed.
“Today is New Year’s Day, so I’m holding a family banquet in the palace. Why not stay in the palace for the banquet, Lord Rennes?”
“Alright!”
Rennes nodded.
The two of them chatted casually for a while before Rennes left the administration hall.
Because Lifa was a queen, she was destined to grow up faster than ordinary women did. Therefore, her admiration for Rennes now was more like the admiration from a younger sister to an older brother. The puppy love she had for Rennes had gradually disappeared.
However, Lifa respected Rennes very much in her heart. She even thought of him as her teacher.
Even though she had slowly grown up and become a real queen, she would never forget it was all thanks to Rennes that she had become what she was today, and the Noah Kingdom was what it was today.
Moreover, they could already start working on the three issues that Lord Rennes had mentioned in the coming spring, be it the issue of fertility, the logistics of the army, or the port that Charles was in charge of. Perhaps by the time Lord Rennes returned, the Noah Kingdom would have changed completely.
With such a vision in her mind, Lifa looked forward to the arrival of the new year even more.
The dinner was about to begin.
Today was the first day of the New Year. The streets of the capital were filled with laughter despite the little unpleasant incident that had happened last night.
For most people, it did not have a major impact. After all, compared to an angel who felt so far out of reach, the gold coins in their pockets were more practical to them.
At that moment, a group of carriages was galloping quickly towards the north gate of the capital.
Some pedestrians had noticed that the leading carriage among them was even more luxurious than the carriages in the Noah palace. Even the personal carriage of Her Majesty the Queen could not compare to this carriage that they had just seen.
Moreover, the horse drawing the carriage was emitting strong magic waves. It was obviously a horse-type magical beast, and its level was definitely not low.
“Is that a distinguished guest from another country?”
“Eight carriages at the same time, what a show!”
“They’ve almost taken up the entire street.”
“That emblem… I know who’s in the carriage!”
“Who is it?”
“Do you still remember a few years ago, when the queen was still a princess, a prince from an empire in the north has taken a liking to her sister, and she then married off to the Golden Lion Empire?”
“Are you saying the one sitting in the carriage is the Queen’s sister who’s returned from the Golden Lion Empire to visit her family?”
“This is the first time she’s come back after so many years. I wonder what’s the purpose of her visit. When we were at war with the Raytheon Empire, I don’t remember her coming back to help us with reinforcements from the Golden Lion Empire.”
“I heard she used to abuse her servants when she was still a Noah princess. Her coming back at such a time can’t be good news.”
“Hmph, but now that we have Lord Rennes here, who would dare start any trouble?”
“Haha, the kid is right. However, he should be careful what he says outside. If some people were to hear that, it would be bad.”
…
The woman obviously did not have a good reputation within the kingdom.
As the procession of luxurious carriages disappeared into the palace, the noise from the crowd gradually died down too.
The carriages stopped at the entrance of the palace and was immediately received by some guards and maids.
With the help of a few maids, an extravagantly-dressed woman leisurely climbed out of the lead carriage.
When she saw Lifa walking over from afar, she spoke in a rich royal tone, “Oh, my dear sister, it has been so many years since we last met. You’ve actually taken over father’s throne and become the Queen of Noah!”
Lifa slightly frowned.
Even after so many years, the woman had not changed at all!
Hypocrite!
Pretentious!
It was obvious that she did not have a good relationship with her sister. However, she was not a child anymore and could not be as willful as before. Moreover, her status as the Queen forced her to be tolerant and considerate.
Therefore, no matter how disgusted Lifa was feeling deep down, she could still hold her sister’s arm with a smile and replied, “When I heard that you’re coming, I got the servants to wake up early to prepare a special banquet for you!”
“Sister, that’s so thoughtful of you!” The smile on Debbie’s face became even wider. Accompanied by Lifa and a few other maids, she slowly walked into the palace.
If those who did not know better witnessed this scene, they would think that the two sisters must be really close.
