Chapter 62: Are the kids talking about it for fun?
Although the greeting was of high standard, the meeting was arranged in a study room in the side hall of Ice Water Palace, which meant that it was a private meeting. The guard known as the "Rider of the Wolf"
Knight Katins led the guests outside the study and stopped. He abided by his duty as a courtier and just stayed outside the door without entering. However, Galene did not have so many scruples and opened the door carelessly.
Then she walked in - she didn't even knock.
Neville followed closely with three little girls. As soon as she entered the door, she felt a cold breath hit her face, because this study, as the name of the Ice Water Palace says, seemed to be carved from a single piece of ice.
What comes out, whether it is the ceiling, wall or floor, reflects a pure ice blue color that is close to crystal. Even the light source inlaid in the twelve-branch crystal chandelier above the head is also an ocean blue known as the "jewel of blue".
Stone. This beautiful gemstone unique to the deep sea will refract a magnificent illusion of light from ice blue to deep blue due to the different angles of the seawater surge. Hundreds of thousands of rays of light are reflected by the transparent mirror, illuminating the entire study room.
Presenting a magnificent scene.
The door clicked softly shut behind her, and three little heads poked out from Neville's back, curiously looking at the surrounding scene. This was a slightly cramped study, but its original space should have been quite large.
The reason why it feels so spacious is because there are three rows of three-meter-high bookshelves lined up on the left and right walls. They are densely packed with books, and each book is inked with the ink of Nova Octopus.
The blue skin has been remade into a book cover, which can effectively prevent seawater erosion.
Most of the space in the study room is occupied by these bookshelves, leaving only an aisle in the middle, leading to the black walnut wood desk where the owner reads and handles official business. At this time, the desk is full of official documents, and there is a luxuriously dressed and elegant man.
The woman was sitting behind the desk, frowning slightly at an official document in her hand, as if feeling embarrassed. She wore a unique crown on her head, inlaid with seven unique gemstones in the blue sky and sea: aquamarine, firefly
Stones, mirage stones, coral stones, tidestones, clear jade and sparkling stones, then it is obvious that this woman is the one the visitors on the ground are about to meet, Her Majesty the Queen of the Court of Neerid.
After hearing the footsteps coming from the door, she raised her head and saw the smiling Galenie gesturing towards her, which probably meant "I'll help you bring the guests over, mother", so
She shook her head helplessly. Then, she put down the documents in her hands and stood up to greet the distinguished guests: "Hello, all visitors on earth, I am the Queen of Nereids, the ruler of the Nereid Court: Amira
·Barcelos Baesa Nielid, on behalf of all the subjects in the city, welcomes you."
After saying that, she lifted up the hem of her skirt with one hand and gave a slight salute. Of course, this salute was not a courtesy for welcoming guests as Her Majesty the Queen, but as a demigod to express herself to another demigod.
So, Neville also bent slightly, put one hand on her lower abdomen, and put the other hand behind her back, and made an elegant ancient salute to Her Majesty the Queen, showing her status as the oldest noble of the Motosh Empire.
Deportment and demeanor: "I am very happy to receive your warm welcome, Your Majesty Emira. I am Neville Garcia Vi Valenhild, and this is my granddaughter Leticia. These two
They are my companions, Miss Metien and Miss Semi."
She introduced the identities of the three children by the way. Although this made Amira feel that she looked more like an old woman taking care of children than an independent and powerful demigod vampire, Her Majesty the Queen would not consider this rude.
Speaking out her thoughts, she showed a gentle smile to the little girls, and then her eyes fell back on Neville: "It turns out to be Her Excellency the Silver-Eyed Countess of the Sicilia Peninsula. I don't dare to do anything in front of you.
As a self-proclaimed king, you can just call me by my name."
In terms of the gold content of the ruled territory, although Amira is the queen and Neville is only the countess, the radiation range of the Scycilia Peninsula is much larger than that of the Nereid City, and the former Metosh Empire was even more
It was so arrogant that it almost established an era of aliens. Its final demise not only made the aliens in the Motosh territory never forget it, but also made other aliens feel regret and lamentation. Because, if the Motosh Empire can survive in the human world,
If they continue their inheritance under oppression, perhaps they can also take this opportunity to challenge the dominance of human civilization and restore the glory of their ancestors in ancient times?
But this is already an assumption that is impossible to prove, so it is irrelevant to the current topic. Neville just smiled slightly and did not take Amira's words to heart: "I didn't expect that my reputation could spread to so many people."
Under the blue sky and sea, even the mirror elves have heard about it, which really makes me feel flattered."
"You are too modest." Seeing that she did not want to have an in-depth exchange on this topic, Amira wisely ignored it and pointed to the reception area next to her: "Dear guests, you might as well come here and talk about it - Jiale
Nirvana, come here too."
The last sentence was said to Galenie, and her tone was obviously much more casual. Galenie said "oh" and ran over, casually asking: "Can I sit next to you, mother?"
"No." Amira smiled, but this smile was a bit threatening. She pointed to the desk next to her and said, "Sit down there and take care of the rest of my documents.
I'll clean up after I've finished chatting with the guests... and then I'll have a heart-to-heart talk with you, you know?"
"Eh? Why is this like this?" Galenie wanted to run away for a moment: "I'd better go back to perform patrol duties. Goodbye, mother..."
"Huh?"
"I like to deal with government affairs the most. Please leave it to me, Mother!"
Without saying a word, Galenie sat down behind the desk, then stiffly picked up the pen next to her, and began to rack her brains over the official document spread out in front of her - the reason why she was stiff was because she didn't even take off her armor. "Sister Galene is so pitiful." Medien said with emotion.
"Yes, yes, homework is very painful." Leticia also said with emotion, although the direction of their emotions may be slightly different.
"This is how adopted children are treated." Xie Mi was even more emotional, almost to the point of empathizing with her: "They don't get the love of their parents, they are always bullied by their sisters, and they have to do the most housework...
…Wow, so sad!”
She was so moved by the scene that she almost cried.
Of course, the three little girls did not realize that what they thought they were whispering was actually no different from making a loud noise to the two powerful demigods.
"Uh." Neville said to the Queen with some embarrassment: "Children are not sensible and are just talking for fun. Please don't take it to heart."
The countess has experienced many battles and has seen a lot. She can naturally see that there is not only no emotional gap between the queen and her adopted child, but there is a deeper relationship than a real family. If not, there would have been no emotional gap between the queen and her adopted child.
The serious and serious Galenie will not change into another person as soon as she arrives in the ice water palace, and Amira will not leave important official duties to her.
"It doesn't matter."
Queen Amira smiled and said: "The three of them are all innocent and innocent. How could I hate such a cute little girl?"
"Really?" Neville immediately put on a serious expression: "Then who do you think is cuter among these three little girls?"
