Even the Crystal Guards who were responsible for escorting the second half of the journey left outside the Ice Water Palace, but Galenie followed them into the Ice Water Palace. The Cloud Whale flapped its heavy wing fins and stood on the right side of the palace.
The square fell slowly, causing the surrounding seawater to flow. Small vortices swirled in the square and quickly disappeared, just like the blooming and withering of flowers, which is quite unique and interesting.
When Galenie walked down from the Cloud Whale with the guests on the ground, there were already officials from King Neerid's court waiting here. He was a middle-aged general with a rigid and serious face, and behind him were two groups of armed soldiers.
The silver armor on the teeth of the Palace Guards shines in the sea water. But they only look better in appearance. They are obviously not as powerful as the previous Crystal Guards. They may not even have experienced actual combat and are just ceremonial guards used to decorate their faces.
That’s all.
Seeing the distinguished guests on the ground arriving, the middle-aged general came up to greet them, but his first words were not to the guests. Instead, he lowered his head slightly and cast his gaze on Galenie next to him.
Stern and merciless: "If I remember correctly, your patrol mission today has not been completed yet, Galenie? It is indeed hard for you to lead the way for the guests, but you must not delay your own work because of this, so
, you'd better return to your post quickly and don't let down Her Majesty the Queen's expectations."
As expected, I was reprimanded.
Neville was not surprised by this. After all, Galenie's actions could indeed be regarded as dereliction of duty and a bit unworthy of her own responsibilities. Of course, the middle-aged general's rebuke to her was a bit harsh. A patrol boy from the city defense army
She is just a captain, so what does it mean to "live up to Her Majesty the Queen's expectations"? Maybe Her Majesty the Queen doesn't even know that she exists. Neville feels that it is better to be tolerant to young people and not give her too much
Pressure.
In addition, she had a good impression of Galenie, so she was about to say a few good words for her, but Galenie was not afraid of the rebuke from her immediate boss, and instead defended herself with a smile: "You are right.
, Lord Katins, as a soldier of the city defense corps, I really shouldn’t abandon my responsibilities and appear here; but as the princess of the Royal Court of Neerid, I am only representing the Mirror of the Blue Sea.
All the people, just show the enthusiasm of the Mirror Elf clan and convey our friendliness to the guests who come from afar. This should not be considered a violation of mother's expectations, right?"
Judging from her smooth response, it was obvious that this statement had been planned for a long time. Maybe she had rehearsed it countless times in her mind halfway through?
But that's not important.
The important thing is——
"Prince Princess?" Medien opened her mouth in surprise, unable to believe this shocking fact.
"Just you?" Xie Mi looked sideways at Galene and said something very rude out of his heart.
"What is the Grand Princess?" Leticia tugged on Grandma's sleeve and asked curiously.
Little did she know that her grandma was also surprised: it turned out that it was not a mere Sequence 8 soldier who wanted to take advantage of them, the distinguished guests on earth, to meet the queen, but that they had taken advantage of the eldest princess of the Royal Court of Neerid? No wonder she
They will directly bring back the Queen's instructions and negotiate with them on behalf of the Queen.
"Ah."
Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Galenie seemed to remember that she had not mentioned this matter to them. Of course, it was possible that she had not mentioned it on purpose, so she now made up for it: "I'm really sorry, I forgot to tell you.
In fact, in addition to being a patrol captain of the city defense corps, I am also the eldest daughter of the Royal Court of Neerid: Galene Barcelos Caesar Neereid. I didn’t mention this when we first met.
I am afraid that because of my identity, you may have concerns and find it difficult to express your true thoughts, so I conceal something. Please forgive me.”
She seemed to want to salute and apologize, but because she was wearing armor, it was inconvenient, so she finally gave up. She lowered her head and smiled and said to the three little girls: "Of course, you can also treat me as an ordinary mirror elf now.
, you don’t need to care about the identity of this princess. In fact, I don’t have real royal blood, I am just an orphan adopted by Her Majesty the Queen."
"Adopted?" When Metien heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he remembered something.
"Adopted." Xie Mi didn't know why, but he actually showed a sympathetic expression.
"Orphan..." Leticia gave Galene a sympathetic look, as if she had already imagined a tragic plot. Galene's smile couldn't help but freeze, and she couldn't figure out why she was looking at her like that.
myself.
"Cough, cough!" Coughing twice, forcing herself to ignore the sympathy and pity in Leticia's eyes, Galene introduced the identity of the middle-aged general who came to greet them: "This is Carnegie.
Lord Tins, known as the 'Rider of the Wolf', is the leader of the Crystal Guards and a knight of the guard who is deeply trusted by Mother. Sending Lord Katins here to welcome you shows that Mother is looking forward to meeting you all.
Meeting."
She ignored the previous topic of "neglect of duty" without leaving a trace. Katins knew that this was her little trick, but because Galene had revealed her identity, if he still reprimanded her in front of the guests, it would not be "
"The commander of the Crystal Guards reprimanded a squad leader of the city defense force", but "Her Majesty's knights of the guard reprimanded Her Royal Highness the Queen of the Court of Neerid". The nature of the matter is completely different. I don't know what will happen if word gets out.
How many rumors arose in the city.
So he had no choice but to give up and glared at Galenie secretly. Then he turned his attention to the group of distinguished guests on the ground and found that except for the adult Neville, there were only three children who obviously had no ability to make decisions.
The girl, who seemed to be obediently staying behind Neville, was wandering around restlessly, curiously looking at the scene around her. Even though this "cavalier of the wolf" had experienced hundreds of battles, he could see that
If there are too many, I can’t help but feel a little ridiculous.
This is of course because no one else is willing to leave Cloud Whale Sky Island - Ieta can't get out of the windmill tower, not to mention she is the owner of Cloud Whale Sky Island, and she will immediately control the sky island if something goes wrong.
Running away, of course, cannot leave at will; Ovela is busy grasping inspiration and converting what she has seen and heard before into words, so although she is looking forward to what she sees in the court of Nereids, she can only put this important task aside.
He entrusted it to the three Metiens and waited for them to tell him about today's experience. This is why the three little girls were so curious and active: they have a heavy responsibility!
As for the proprietress Shesta and the bartender Shelia, they are not interested in the complicated political events that may occur and are too lazy to get involved in the internal affairs of the mirror elves. They would rather enjoy a peaceful daily life on the island. At most, they are still in the "touring stage".
"Throw the little girl out and let her learn a lot. Anyway, with Neville here, nothing big will happen.
And this is indeed the case. Although the group of visitors in front of us looks like a spring outing at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it looks extremely unreliable. It once made people think, "Her Majesty the Queen invited them to come to the Ice Water Palace as guests."
Is it really meaningful?" This kind of thinking, but after all, with Neville, a demigod-level vampire countess, Katins cannot accuse the other party of not paying attention to this meeting, and even squeeze out a look on his face.
The stiff smile - obviously he has not smiled for a long time, so that the muscles in his face have become as stiff as rocks, and the effect of smiling is worse than not smiling - the tone has been slightly slowed down, no longer so rigid
He became serious: "As Her Majesty Galenie said, Her Majesty the Queen is waiting for your arrival in the Ice Water Palace. Please come with me to see Her Majesty."
"Okay."
Neville agreed simply and neatly. Now that we are here, is there any need to hesitate? This cheerful attitude made Katins' face soften a little, and he felt that these people on the ground are not as unreliable as they seem.
...But soon he heard Neville's words to the three little girls behind her: "Remember, after entering the palace, don't run around, don't touch, don't move around. Ah, Medien, I didn't say that.
You, I know you are very well-behaved. It’s you, Semi! Don’t use fairy magic indiscriminately! And you, Leticia, please pay attention to me and don’t mention mermaids in front of the queen, do you understand?” "Oh!" X3
