"You are actually adventure companions with Miss Estelle and the others." Ellie said.
"Haha, if you think about it carefully, this is really an amazing combination." Randy said.
Olivier: ‘Anyway, please relax as much as possible. We and Estelle are our companions facing Liber’s mutation together.”
"You and them are companions who are facing Crossbell's mutation together. In other words, we are also destined companions."
"This, I don't think is that simple."
"Well, to be honest, I'm really scared." Ellie said.
"Haha, there is really no need for you to be nervous. Please relax a little. Although everyone is invited here this time to discuss important matters."
"But more importantly, I really want to take this opportunity to get close to everyone." Princess Tia said.
"Your Highness," Lloyd said.
El: "No, I don't dare to take it."
Randy: "Oh, I'm so touched."
"Haha, I heard that Estelle and the others had a very happy time in Crossbell. There is also a theme park here. I will stay there for about a month."
"Your formation arrangements are already half a year away." Mulla said.
"Mula bullies people, can't they let them have sweet dreams?" Olivier said.
"In short, this is the situation. I think you already know it, right? Based on this, there are a few things I want to know about you."
Yulia said.
"Okay, that's what we're going to talk about today, right? Do you have any important information about this meeting?" Lloyd said.
"Yes." said the princess.
Then he motioned to Yulia.
Yulia stood up and activated a force-guiding device in the room.
Soon the screen not far away showed an image.
"Is this something developed by the AIPU Foundation?"
‘Yes, our airship is already equipped, please take a look.’ Yulia said.
The image shows the Prime Minister of the Empire, Genius.
"Isn't this the iron blood of the empire?" Ellie said.
"Yes, you are not familiar with this person, so I will evaluate him here." Olivier said: "But as a premise, I hope you understand one thing. Civil war may break out in the empire at any time.
"
"War?" said Lloyd.
El; "Is there such a thing?"
"Unfortunately, this is indeed the case. Specifically, the empire is divided into the iron-blooded faction, the innovative faction of the new system, and the nobles headed by the nobles who hope to maintain the old aristocratic system."
"Now they are enemies of each other and are on the verge of breaking out," Olivier said.
"I have heard about it before, and it seems that the current situation is quite serious." Ellie said.
Vaji: 'So it seems that His Highness is neutral?'
"Haha, rather than being neutral, it's better to say that I want to take the third path." Olivier said.
"But both lineups regard me as a suspicious person who cannot be trusted. It is really a sad situation."
Mulla said: "Well, this cannot be denied."
"In other words, things are about to break out between them. Could this matter be important information related to the meeting?" Lloyd said.
El: "Huh?"
"That's it." Vaggie said.
"As you said, Archduke Kane has already taken action." Mulla said: He planned to send assassins to sneak into Crossbell to assassinate Iron Blood during the meeting.
"!" Lloyd said; "So that's it."
"Well, Iron-Blooded has made many enemies, and there are many who hate him." Olivier: "Therefore, the forces suppressed by him are all ready to take action."
"And Archduke Kane paid them Mira and hired them."
"It's so complicated," Randy said.
Vaji: "You don't have to dirty your own hands, you can borrow a knife to do it, which makes the situation very tricky."
"It's not just a thorny issue, it's a big deal for Crossbell. If Tie Xue was assassinated during the meeting, I don't know how much compensation he will be compensated for."
"I'm sorry, it's rude to say that." Lloyd said.
"No, your worry is normal. As the price for failing to prevent the assassination, the empire will definitely demand huge compensation from Crossbell." Olivier said.
"Even if this reason is caused by internal comparison."
"Unbelievable," El said.
"Although it sounds cold, diplomacy has this side," Ellie said.
"That's right," Randy said.
The princess said: "In addition, those people from the East are actually planning such a thing."
"What does this mean?" said Lloyd.
"Yulia, please excuse me."
"yes."
Then the screen changed to the leader of the forces from the East, Locksmith.
"Is this uncle also resented?" Waji said.
"No, it's not so much a personal grudge against him, but rather because of their history," the princess said.
"Located on the continent of West Samlia, they have begun to absorb multiculturalism a long time ago, and they have a very troublesome problem."
Princess Tia said: "That's what's called the integration problem."
"As you know, they have accepted many immigrants since ancient times. The trend has become more obvious over the years, and even a huge force has been born."
"There will naturally be pushback against this trend."
Ellie: "I heard about this opposition movement, but I didn't expect it."
"Are those people also planning to attack Smith?"
"Well, I heard that an investor with sufficient funds has funded them." Princess Tia said: "According to the intelligence we have learned, a group with considerable strength is taking action."
Lloyd said: "This is troublesome. I understand what you mean, but why do you want to tell us such an important thing?"
Waji said; "Indeed, wouldn't it be better to communicate it directly to them at headquarters?"
"There are some things that you can't even convey, right?" Ellie said.
Lloyd said: 'Why is that?'
"As Miss Ellie said, whether it's Iron Blood or Smith, they already know that someone is trying to attack, and they have organized people to protect them."
"But even so, they have no intention of revealing it to you here." Olivier said.
‘Although we don’t know their plans yet, under such circumstances, it is not convenient for us to report their internal situation without authorization.’ Princess Tia said.
"The same goes for me, I can't interfere." Olivier said, "So Her Royal Highness the Princess proposes to invite you to come."
"I see." Lloyd said: 'Does that mean this is just a private meeting?'
"Well, it's just a few people with the same friends chatting casually at the tea table." Tia smiled.
"Of course, if you want to reveal the rumors here, please do it yourself."
"Haha, that's it." Ellie said.
"Oh, it's bolder than I thought." Randy said.
"Haha, as an elegant princess, you are quite capable." Waji said.
"Vaj, you are so rude." El said.
"It doesn't matter, the fog surrounding Crossbell is getting more and more complicated. In order to be able to see the road ahead a little clearly, I have to struggle as hard as I can."
Princess Tia said.
"After all, there are still some troublesome people who control intelligence. In this case, we naturally make good use of Estelle's connections." Olivier said.
"A very troublesome person?"
"I think you should have heard of them, that is Mr. Rector and Ms. Kirika." Tia said.
Ellie: "I see. That's why we didn't know the information I said before."
"Well, one of them is manipulating the information." Yulia said; "Ms. Kirika once served as the receptionist of the Guerrilla Association in Liber. She has a pair of eyes that can see thousands of miles away."
"It is too easy for her to manipulate information."
Lloyd: "I see, we have heard about it in the association."
"It's okay if it's a friend, but it will be very difficult if it's an enemy." Randy said.
"As for Lecter, although his experience and birth are unknown, at least one thing is certain." Mulla said: "She is one of the Iron-Blooded Children."
"Iron-blooded son?"
"It's another very weird name. It sounds like it's related to Iron Blood?" Waji said.
"It is said that they are all young people who were selected by His Excellency Iron-Blooded and trained since childhood." Olivier said.
"Although he has some quirks, he is extremely capable and is engaged in various activities."
"They were all on guard and very fearful."
Lloyd said: "It seems that this opponent is much more than what appears on the surface."
Yulia said: 'In addition, the black moon and red constellation now entrenched in Crossbell cannot be ignored.'
"Both of these two people are inextricably linked to the inside. It is difficult to imagine whether they will launch an attack."
"But as far as we know, they have also had some incomprehensible movements," Mulla said.
"Perhaps you know more about this aspect."
Lloyd said: "Yes, although it is not a return gift, I will tell you what I know so far."
Lloyd explained to the other party the recent movements of the Red Constellation and the Black Moon.
"Such a thing can happen," Yulia said.
"The killer named Silver is a bit concerning," Mulla said.
Olivier: 'But you shouldn't have to worry about him attacking Lord Iron-Blooded or me, right? As for the Red Constellation, it seems that they are an extremely militant mercenary group.'
"I'm afraid someone like me who doesn't have any guards is not qualified to be their target, right?"
"Haha, maybe it's just like what you said, but since Mr. Mulla is accompanying him, some people might want to stop with him," Randy said.
"The possibility is not high. I am just a single soldier. In any case, I can only consider all possible high school situations that may occur and be fully prepared," Mulla said.
"Yes." Yulia said.
"Everyone, thank you for the information you provided. Thanks to you, we can be prepared for the situation in the high school." Princess Tia said.
"No way, you are too polite." Lloyd said.
"We should thank you for revealing such important information to us," Ellie said.
El: 'Thank you so much.'
"Haha, each other, since you are grateful, how about you take me to experience the famous nightclub in Crossbell?"
Olivier said: "Randy and Vargy should be familiar with those places."
"Oh, let's set off now," Randy said.
"Haha, let me take you to the best hidden nightclub." Waji said.
"Oh, now that we've decided, the dinner arrangements will be cancelled."
"How is that possible, idiot." Mulla said: "We are going to watch the Rainbow Theater Company's performance later."
"That's true." The prince said, "Haha, the performance of Rainbow Theater Company is also what I have always wanted to see."
"Haha, I believe it will make you all happy." Lloyd said.
Ellie: "Well, I guarantee that everyone can't take their eyes off it."
"Haha, then I'll look forward to it. If something happens again in the future, we will contact you again." The princess said. "I will contact you directly next time, so it won't be so troublesome."
"Haha, got it." Lloyd said.
....
When I came back, night had fallen.
In the Secret Service Support Section office building.
Lloyd reported this incident to the section chief.
"I see, it's a terrifying group that targets big figures." said the section chief.
"Well, I originally thought that this was the only possibility, but I actually made it so specific."
Dudley from Section 1 was also called.
"What are they thinking? Why are they hiding it from us?" Dudley said.
"Of course they have some important purpose." The section chief said, "We'd better inform the superiors."
"Well, leave this matter to me. Having said that, when I first heard that you had boarded the El Seyu, I couldn't even believe my ears."
"And you can actually get this information from a big shot." Dudley said.
"Haha, you really already know that." Lloyd said.
"Because the incident was relatively sudden, we didn't want to be too public about it," Randy said.
"What do you call this? Never mind that when you are suddenly different, you should discuss it with someone first and then decide whether to accept the entertainment."
Dudley said.
"Haha, these guys don't follow the rules so much. Besides, the other party is also an unconventional person. This may be the best choice." The section chief said.
"Well, that makes sense." Dudley said.
"Haha, after all, they are indeed unique princesses and princes." Randy said: "Especially Prince Olivier, I didn't expect him to be such a weirdo."
"Randy, you are too rude, but it should be said that you are informal, a little too casual." Ellie said.
"However, I think he is also a very thoughtful person." Lloyd said: "Mr. Mulla, who serves as the guard, is very capable."
"Besides, Princess Tia and Yulia are so beautiful and heroic." El said.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is straightforward and easy-going, but has an elegant temperament, and Yulia is also heroic."
"Haha, you seem to have already asked for autographs, as well as your sister's." Waji said.
"How did you know!" El said.
"Forget it, if you can get a lot of proof and information, you will have gained something from this trip." Dudley said. (To be continued)
