Chapter 28: Insoraia, the Royal Capital of Ming
After a four-day voyage, the ship smoothly arrived in the Kingdom of Ming.
The Kingdom of Ming was not a large country, with a territory of only about 70,000 square kilometers. There were no major cities throughout the country, only a royal capital that could be called a miracle, standing on the plains.
“Is that… the royal capital of the Kingdom of Ming, Insoraia? It looks so majestic.”
Looking at the royal capital outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Lonis was so captivated that she couldn’t speak… because this city, unlike the city-states of the Middle Ages, did not consist mostly of low-rise buildings. Instead, it was a combination of tradition and modernity, looking extremely unique!
Take the overpasses for example. There were many towering overpasses in the city, and they seemed to be made of some kind of floating material, so they could float in the air without any pillars.
This made the entire city appear exceptionally light and delicate.
In the center of the city, Lonis could see many city parks, sculptures, and landscape rivers. Conservatively estimated, millions of people were living together in this city.
…
“Classmates, we will dock at the third airport… I just received news that Princess Cécile, the First Princess, welcomes our arrival.”
Dean Emerald smiled slightly and said to everyone.
“First Princess, Cécile…?”
As soon as Princess’s name was mentioned, Lonis couldn’t help but imagine.
His Highness Ruo Hui Gong was already beautiful enough, so how lovely would her daughter be? Perhaps she would also have silver hair and be as elegant as the beautiful girls in anime?
…
It was Lonis’s instinct to feel favorably towards cute girls.
But don’t forget, Elus could sense her mood! So, the black-hearted girl said nothing more but directly activated the remote control.
“Woo woo woo!”
A gasp suddenly came from the fox-eared girl in the crowd.
“Lonis-chan?!”
Su Ling Zhou exclaimed, supporting her, but Mi Xue Zhou seemed unfazed and merely teased, “Classmate Elus is really strict. She is truly a young lady who is ‘true to herself and others’?”
“Sister, what does ‘true to oneself and others’ mean…”
“Hmph, Mi Xue Zhou, don’t try to interfere with my thoughts. We are about to land soon, and I don’t want any embarrassing situations to arise due to the impoliteness of a certain fox-girl.”
…
Although she said that, Elus still turned off the remote control.
Lonis, having narrowly escaped, sighed in relief and realized that the black-hearted girl’s mood today was clearly different from usual.
How to put it, perhaps a little nervous?
(Could it be because Elus is also a princess, so she subconsciously wants to compare herself to the princess of the Kingdom of Ming?)
Thinking about it carefully, the Snow Kingdom was also a small country, and Elus had once said that their royal family had some blood relation with Ruo Hui Gong.
(Hehe, but Elus bullying me just now means she’s jealous~~~~~ That’s a good thing too, an angry wife is also very cute!)
Just as Lonis was thinking this, she saw Elus raise her eyebrows.
Her fingers reached into her pocket again, seeming to want to activate Level 5.
This scared Lonis, who no longer dared to think nonsense and could only frantically wag her tail, pretending to be well-behaved.
Under the control of Wu Youli, the ship slowly landed at the third airport.
Although it was called the third airport, this airport was the most luxurious and modern one in Insoraia.
It was not very large in area and was mainly used to receive foreign guests – not only did it have a pier that directly connected to the exit, but it also had a teleportation array that allowed everyone to go directly to the royal palace.
…
“Welcome, esteemed guests, to Insoraia. I am Gu Yanis, please come this way. Princess Cécile has prepared a banquet for our distinguished guests.”
The one who came to receive them was a woman with purple hair. Although she was wearing a light-colored evening gown, she gave off a strong and refined aura, looking like a female general who had charged into battle.
And it seemed that Elus had heard of this woman and directly addressed her:
“General Gu Yanis, thank you for your hospitality. However, we heard that the Kingdom of Ming was under siege by demons and came to help. But as it appears now, the atmosphere in the royal capital is peaceful and harmonious.”
The landing of the ship was smooth, and when looking down from the sky, everyone did not see any trace of Leviathan or other monsters.
“Yes, the demon race’s first vanguard has been completely annihilated by us. We are currently in a ceasefire period, and our envoy is preparing to negotiate with the demon race.”
“I see… Then is Secretary Yue Linyi not within the royal capital? Is she alright?”
“Uh!”
Upon hearing Yue Linyi’s name, Gu Yanis subconsciously held her breath.
But after a moment, she said, “Secretary Yue Linyi has gone to the Demon Race Territory with King Ruo Hui Gong. She is not currently in the royal capital.”
“Demon Race Territory…?”
“Yes, but the details should not be revealed by me. If guests are interested, Princess Cécile will explain to you.”
…
…
And so, guided by Gu Yanis all the way, the group arrived at the banquet hall.
The various decorations along the way, and the various images hanging on the walls, made Lonis and the others exclaim in admiration and wonder.
“It feels so amazing… all these portraits are of the past kings? They all look so beautiful…”
The kings of the Kingdom of Ming were half male and half female, but both men and women were very beautiful, and they all had light-colored silver hair, resembling Elus in the past.
At the end of the corridor was the banquet hall.
And Princess Cécile was waiting for them there.
…
“Welcome, everyone. I am Cécile Moon Kolotia, and as the First Princess of the Kingdom of Ming, I warmly welcome your arrival.”
Princess Cécile was wearing formal attire and was as beautiful as Lonis had imagined.
Her silver hair cascaded down to her waist, her light blue eyes were bright, her eyebrows were relaxed, and her dignified demeanor easily attracted people’s affection.
However…
It was also different from what Lonis had imagined; Princess Cécile’s aura seemed to hide something… what exactly was hidden, Lott could not tell.
And it was impolite to stare at the real princess as soon as they met, so Lonis consciously shifted her gaze.
However, Elus was not so considerate. She just walked forward and said very seriously, “Hello, Princess Cécile. We are here as agreed to see His Highness Ruo Hui Gong.”
“Yes, my father told me about this. Please come in, everyone. Let’s chat while we eat.”
Cécile bowed and gracefully led everyone into the dining room.
