She Is Not a Witch Chapter 24: An empire in a precarious manner

In Wanglong Harbor, Lorrain Hill and Atesi shared a carriage and headed towards the mansion of the city’s manager, Count Red Kite.

The carriage rut rolls on the white blue stone slab, making a slight noise, and pedestrians and scenery on the street appear from the faintly floating curtains.

Through the pale blue curtain, the sun shattered on a blonde girl in the car. She was wearing a red delicate dress and looked about 17 years old. The soft face was shadowed by the curtains, with a broken and hazy beauty.

"What kind of person is the Earl Red Kite?" Lorrain Hill's light blue eyes turned from the scenery outside the window and looked at the dignified elf princess in front of him.

"Probably a model of classical aristocracy." Today, Ai Texi is wearing a white princess dress with gold rim, and the golden hair has a pearl hair net. She looks at the princess temperament that is rare in the past.

"His ancestors were scholars from the East and were invited to be the emperor's tutor at that time. Later, the emperor became an adult and bestowed him the title of knighthood, so the red kite family slowly passed on."

"Before I left the Western Continent and went to the East, I had dealt with him. I felt that the other person was pretty good and had a good reputation in the local area. The family style has been maintained very well. The tranquility, wisdom, and poetic temperament are almost It’s a portrayal of their family. Sometimes they make some extraordinary behaviors because of the pursuit of romance, but in general, they are not bad."

"I have been away from the Western Continent for too long, and now I don’t understand a lot of things. Instead of inquiring about all kinds of gossips in the tavern, it’s better to go directly to him and ask."

"And this place is also under the rule of the Unicorn Duke, and we have been in good contact with our elves, so there is no need to worry about safety."

"That's it." Lorraine Hill nodded. After arriving at Wanglonggang, she has always maintained the appearance of blonde hair, which also prevents her true identity from being discovered.

Silver hair is still too rare in the world of Yvar, and she is not sure whether her image will be recognized by people in the empire, which reminds of the sages of Crancia, which causes many unnecessary Trouble.

"Lacy also accompany me to meet the earl. Just say that you are a friend I know in the East, and he won't mind too much."

Athesi explained briefly, and soon the carriage came to a halt.

"Miss, it's already here." The coachman's voice came from ahead.

"Hmm." Then, Atesi took Lorrain Hill's hand and stepped off the beautiful metal and wooden carriage.

"Welcome to the arrival of Her Royal Highness Princess Atesi." The butler greeted at the door recognized the familiar elf girl at a glance.

"Please come with me." He bent over to salute, and then led the way ahead.

"It's been a long time, Federer, you are still so healthy." Athesi nodded briefly, then slowly followed, and then the four maids in the mansion accompanied him.

"Your Royal Highness is absurd." The butler, who was about 50 years old, humbled, and then greeted the two of them into an elegant hall.

Sunlight shines on the sofa and coffee table through the colored glass. The porcelain tea set with enamel trim has already been set. A young man of about 30 years old is sitting on the sofa. After seeing the two girls come in, he stands Start to greet.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Majesty Athesi, to see you return safely, I think the Emerald Forest will be a lot happy again this time."

"Long time no see, Li Lin." Atesi blinked and looked at the Count Red Kite.

"You are a lot more mature than before."

"Can you understand it as how old I am." Li Lin replied jokingly, and then stopped in time.

"Haha, let's sit down first, let's have some tea." He greeted the two of them to sit down, and then talked slowly.

.....

"It seems that Her Royal Highness Athesi's journey has been a bumpy journey. Is this beautiful lady who you met during the journey?"

"Yes, her name is Lacey, the eldest lady of a chamber of commerce. This time I encountered a similar situation and stayed in the East for a long time."

"That's how it is. Miss Lacey, in Xia Lilin, I am the acting manager of this city and the one who inherits the title of Red Kite."

"Hello, Earl Lilin." Lorrainhill bowed his head and bowed slightly, then raised his head to look at the man a little.

The Earl of Red Kite wears a black fitted dress with a white shirt and silk scarf inside. The side of the collar is embroidered with phoenix birds with golden red silk thread, which has a strange beauty of combining things.

After a brief greeting, Atesi began to inquire about the current situation.

"Although Wanglonggang still looks peaceful, the empire has actually been precarious, and it's only a step away from falling apart." He picked up the teacup, and Earl Red Kite slowly blew the surface of the cup. Then talk about it.

"His Majesty holds most of the power when he is in power. In this case, the empire revolves around one voice, which is naturally efficient and powerful."

"But after the emperor's sudden departure, this left a huge power hole in the upper emperor."

"Who should I listen to now? Is it the ordinary, petite and innocent queen, the emperor's twin brother, or the blood of the previous emperor?"

"In terms of blood relationship and stability, His Royal Highness Edron is the best choice to take over the throne."

"But the queen has already given birth to a boy. At this time, His Royal Highness will be willing to resist his desire to be a regent. Even if he has no selfish intentions, the people below don’t think so~ IndoMTL.com~ The regent has always The end was not very good. Moreover, His Highness Edron should have ascended to the throne with his brothers. This is a long-standing tradition of the empire."

Li Lin slowly talked about the source of disorder in the empire, which is the golden and red emperor's throne.

"On the eve of the end of the war, His Royal Highness, as the prime minister and ambassador of the empire, signed a surrender armistice agreement with Crancia. Such an act, if only the prime minister and his courtiers, is not a big mistake, it is only the result of current events. But if he wants to board Ascension to the throne, this has become a huge stain and obstacle, and many nobles in the palace used this to suppress His Royal Highness Edron."

"His Majesty deprived many great nobles of the rights and benefits during his reign. All this caused these suppressed voices to rebound strongly after his death, and many people even pushed all the faults on His Majesty, threatening to let The direct descendants of the first emperor once again took over the throne, thus propping up the empire on the right track."

"Moreover, don't think they are just talking about the fact that, in the current situation of the imperial and weakening of the royal family, they have begun a large-scale conscription in the territory, ready to select the descendants of the first emperor for support."

"Who is presiding over the court now?" Athesi asked the key question.

"The Red Queen, Lily Esther."
