Visiting the same place on the same day only a short time apart was quite new even for the well-traveled Yili.
In the past, when Yili tricked people, she would grease her feet and run away.
This time is quite special. After all, Iri, like Ainz's father, was "passively" involved in the kingdom's internal disputes.
Although the beginning of everything was indeed created by Yili herself.
Along with Laxus, they visited the royal city again. This time, only Laxese came with her, and the others stayed at the hotel and were on standby.
It's not really helpful for them to come, and according to Clem, only Elly was invited.
Lax is Lana's friend, so she can come over and brush her face and so on. There is really no need for the others to follow, but this time Lax has changed into a dress.
Although there is a dress in Yili's space bag, Yili is just not happy to change it. Seeing that Lana is cheating on her, there is no need to give her face!
After arriving in the royal city, Lacus explained her purpose to the guard guarding the gate. The guard said that Lana had already given instructions, and just asked Lax and Yili to go directly to the restaurant. It seemed that Lana also knew that Lax must be there.
Will follow you.
Then, under the guidance of their entourage, Yili and Laisi walked around the royal city several times before arriving in front of the restaurant.
As soon as they reached the door, the attendant guarding the door of the restaurant said that Princess Lana and the king had been waiting for a long time.
And opened the door to let Yili and Laisi in. As soon as Yili heard this, she felt that things were not that simple.
Just having dinner as compensation, he must have secretly arranged some drama for himself to play the "protagonist"!
"Oh? Lana, have you called Lacus... over? That's fine, otherwise it would be boring to be deserted. Lax, please come over and sit down. Huh? This is? Lax, the one wearing the mask.
My companion? But??" The old king was sitting at the extremely long dining table. After seeing Laisi, the old king first said hello.
Although he was sitting on top and was wearing an outfit that looked like a formal occasion, the old king's tone towards Laisi had no sense of majesty at all. Instead, he gave Yili the feeling of a neighbor.
The kind of intimacy that an uncle feels when he invites his daughter’s friends to come over and have a meal together.
"Father, this is Iri, Princess Elizabeth of the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown." Lana explained at the side.
"Ah??" The old king looked at Yili, who was still wearing a mask, and made a very surprised sound.
At first, when he saw the mask, the old king mistook Yili for Ibiruai. It was indeed rude to wear a mask in this situation. There was no need to hide his identity anyway, so Yili took off both the mask and the hood.
.
"It is indeed me, His Majesty the King." After taking off her mask, Yili just nodded slightly to the old king, which was regarded as a salute.
"Princess Elizabeth? Isn't it more..." the old king looked at Yi Li with an unbelievable look and said.
"Hmm... more petite, right? In fact, this current appearance is my original posture. The petite appearance before was just due to some not-so-good reasons." Yili gave an explanation, although it was just nonsense.
.
"Oh...that's it, that's it. Lana, the friend you said you were going to entertain today turns out to be Princess Elizabeth." After the old king accepted Yili's statement, he lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
His appearance and expression on his face became much darker.
How should I put it? Although for Yili, the last time she saw the old king was hundreds of years ago, Yili still vaguely remembers the old king of the kingdom. Although he is indeed quite old, he looks quite handsome.
What a person of magnanimity.
However, the old king that Yili sees now... always feels very decadent? The heroic spirit from before is completely gone.
"Ah... I'm sorry, Princess Elizabeth, and Lax, please take a seat!" The old king seemed to be thinking about something in a dull manner for almost thirty seconds before reacting.
Then he invited Yili and Laisi, who were still standing, to take a seat. Their decadent looks were really different from before.
It seems that Gazef's death in battle and the outcome of the war in the Katz Plains really dealt a big blow to the old king.
After all...for the old king, he lost too many things in that battle, and the daughter of the culprit who caused this result is standing in front of him, so Yili can understand the old king's mood.
.
After receiving permission, Yili walked over, and the entourage standing by directly opened the seat next to Lana.
Lana Bichi also looked at Yili and smiled. It was obvious that she wanted Yili to sit next to her. Although she didn't know what Lana wanted to do, she could only control her now.
With this thought, Yili simply walked over and sat directly next to Lana.
"Ellie, Lavasi, since you're here, just treat it like your own home. Be casual. It's just me and my father here today, no outsiders." Lana smiled when she saw Ellie and Lacuse sitting down.
said.
Oh wow! Just from this seemingly casual sentence, Yili heard a lot of information. Lana, Bichi, directly called her by her name here, and did not use the title of princess, and she also said
There are no outsiders.
"Ah...yes, just relax a little, don't be formal, let's serve the food!" The old king heard Lana's words and said with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.
Yili just smiled and nodded to express understanding, and then said nothing more. After all, Yili was a guest now, and she first needed to understand what Lana, as the "host", wanted to do.
Just like when I met Lana for the first time, this guy will definitely arrange another script.
After a while, the servants and attendants brought the dishes, and there was no other sound in the entire restaurant.
Yili just smiled and sat with a very relaxed look, while Lax looked nervously at Lana from time to time, and then turned her gaze to Yili.
The old king kept looking elsewhere, as if in a daze. Occasionally he would turn his gaze to Yi Li, and then his face would become even darker.
Yi Li also exchanged glances with the old king. After the old king noticed it, he just smiled in embarrassment and looked very miserable.
Yili could only smile back. Seeing that the old king, who used to be quite dignified, had now become like this, Yili couldn't say anything.
