Endless Silver Machine

After only ten minutes of meeting, it felt like a whole day had passed. When we left the hall with hundreds of eyes watching us and saw the sunlight still shining outside the window, we all breathed a real sigh of relief.

"I feel like I have lost ten years of life..."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense..."

Aika quietly reminded Ling, who kept complaining. Now everyone is following the guidance of the head maid to arrange their own rooms.

"Does the Emperor also live in this castle?"

Luoluo asked Wei Xi in a low voice.

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor also lives in August." The head maid's hearing was beyond everyone's expectation, "But this place only belongs to Her Royal Highness Princess Lan Ming Yiela. His Majesty the Emperor and other royal families have different area."

According to what the head maid said, August's actual size far exceeded what everyone had guessed.

It seemed that they had already had an experience. Everyone relaxed a lot on the way back, and the atmosphere was no longer as oppressive as when they first came here.

"Are the areas just mentioned connected together?"

Ling even started talking to the head maid.

"The term 'connected together' is not accurate." The head maid did not show any impatience and answered Ling's question patiently, "Agus is not a one-piece building, but consists of many independent small buildings. The castle is composed of what you can see now. The ownership is all in the name of Princess Lan Ming Yiela. If you want to go to the castles of other royal family members, it is still some distance away from here."

"so big……"

Luo Luo quickly covered her mouth and spoke in a loud voice just now unconsciously.

"I've heard that the area of ​​Augustus is equivalent to the entire East District. Is the East District that big?"

Aika couldn't believe it either.

"Compared to Augustus, the buildings in the East District are denser, so the area does not appear to be that amazing... In fact, judging from the measurement data, that statement is not wrong..."

"What Master Wei Xi said is absolutely true."

The head maid nodded gently to Wei Xi. She indeed knew Wei Xi. Judging from Wei Xi's own words, she came to August a few years ago. So has Wei Xi not changed at all over the years?

Wei Xi's curly long hair also had a bunch of hair hanging out like a small tail, swaying from side to side as she walked. Aika's eyes followed the little tail, thinking about this very rude thing.

As if feeling the sight from behind, Wei Xi suddenly turned her head, and she happened to catch Aika's line of sight. She quickly turned her head back, and her little tail drew an arc in mid-air. Even though Aika couldn't see her face, she knew that it must be as red as an apple now, and the redness even spread to the roots of her ears.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

Luoluo, who was walking beside Wei Xi, also noticed Aika's gaze. She deliberately slowed down and waited for Aika to come to her side.

"Who did Wei Xi's hairstyle?"

"It's me."

Aika had a vague feeling like this. This hairstyle is also very suitable for Lolo. Aika once gave her a hairstyle similar to this when she was a child, but she just rolled up her long hair randomly and fixed it with her mother's hairpin. Looking at it now, it couldn't be a worse work, but Aika remembers that Lolo was quite happy at that time.

——Mom, Mom, this is the hair my brother tied up for me!

——Hehe, Aika is a clever child.

——Hmph, my proud work.

——Brother, I am not your work!

--Why?

——It's just a hairstyle, I'm not yours...

——Because she is my sister, she is so beautiful. If it were anyone else, I would never admit that I did it.

——There is nothing...beautiful or anything like that...

What kind of medicine did I take at that time? As this memory was brought out of the water, Aika got goosebumps all over her body. Looking back at my past self now, isn't this just complete sexual harassment? And the target is still my sister!

"Brother, have you remembered?"

Luoluo leaned forward slightly and laughed.

"I'd rather never remember it..."

If August wasn't here, Aika would definitely go crazy.

"But I can be proud, brother, I really like it."

"Thank you for the comfort..."

"I was serious!"

"Okay, okay..."

Seeing that Aika didn't believe her words at all, Luoluo puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, you all have a really good relationship." After the exchange with Ling, the head maid smiled at the two of them, "I can rest assured that you are with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Here, this is your room. Please do what you want next.”

The head maid didn't give everyone time to understand this sentence, so she left them where they were and left.

"Miss Maid is on Lan Ming's side..."

Aika smiled happily. For some reason, when he knew this fact, he felt relieved.

"Brother, how are the rooms arranged? The head maid didn't explain it clearly just now."

"The rooms here are all usable, and every one is cleaned every day."

"ah!"

The voice of the person who shouldn't be here suddenly came out, scaring Wei Xi so much that she screamed.

Lan Ming walked out from the shadow of the pillar with a smile of successful mischief, and Xia Luo was also with him. But it could be seen from her helpless expression that this was definitely not her idea.

"I have already warned Her Highness the Princess."

Taking care of Lan Ming's Xia Luo is also very hard...

"Ugh...I wasn't scared..."

Even though tears were about to flow out, Wei Xi still showed off her strength and pursed her lips to look strong.

"Sir Wei Xi, I was wrong, please don't cry."

Regardless of whether his expensive dress would be wrinkled, Lan Ming knelt down in front of Wei Xi, who was about to cry, and touched her head tenderly.

Wei Xi twisted her body reluctantly, but finally endured it and let Lan Ming touch her head.

"This is the first time these two have met."

After he was satisfied, Lan Ming let go of Wei Xi, who had been shrinking her neck. In front of her eyes were Ling and Luoluo who didn't know what to say.

"Would you like to talk in the room?"

With just one sentence, she dispelled their concerns.

…………

"It's just like the rumors!" After hearing the experiences between the four people, Lan Ming's eyes lit up with excitement like a child, "I'm so envious to have such a life that can be written into stories!"

Aika simply told Lan Ming what happened after the four met, and deliberately did not mention the various disputes before that.

"Your Highness, I think your life must be more amazing than ordinary people like us..."

If the political struggle between the royal families were to be written down in words, it would probably not be a story, but an epic...

"No, maybe in your eyes, I am a little different. But in fact, what I am experiencing now are all things that have been decided. After taking a step, I can already guess what the next step will be. Where are you stepping on? If it were you, you would also find it very boring."

Lan Ming's words revealed a gradual feeling of powerlessness.

"Ahaha, it makes the atmosphere a little heavy." She immediately changed the direction of the topic, "Are you still going to live in the same room?"

"'still'?"

"Don't you live together in Shimozuki Academy?"

"That's what I heard too."

It seemed that both Lan Ming and Xia Luo had been misunderstood by the gossip that spread out from nowhere. Aika could only repeat the answer that had been explained to many people to them again.

"It seems there is a misunderstanding..."

Lan Ming believed Aika's excuse.

"I've been thinking before that you don't look like a man with that kind of courage."

"Thanks……"

Although Charlotte's words didn't sound so nice, they did help Aika in this situation. Anyway, he thanked Charlotte first.

After the atmosphere finally returned to normal, Lan Ming clapped his hands gently, attracting everyone's attention to himself.

"Actually, when I come here, I have something very important to say."

She straightened up a bit, and everyone realized what she was going to say next.

"I think you must also have this question, why are Miss Luoluo and Miss Ling, who have nothing to do with this incident, invited together."

This question was raised by Lan Ming again, and it struck a chord.

"Indeed... I really want to know the reason..."

Luoluo admitted hesitantly.

"Of course we also know that it is too unrealistic to be invited by the royal family just because we have a close relationship."

Ling's family was once a noble, and she was more or less familiar with this internal relationship. At that time, I would have accepted the reasons given by Aika, but I felt that I couldn't get the answer from him, so I had no choice but to give up.

"It's enough for you to be suspicious, so that my guilt can be reduced..."

Lan Ming's eyes were a little complicated. Aika was vaguely aware of what she wanted to say, and Lan Ming's next words confirmed his thoughts.

"Luoluo is Aika's relative. From all aspects, she is reasonable...and Miss Ling...because there is another group of people who want to see you, so she made the request to let you go with her..."

Lan Ming explained with difficulty.

"I guess you didn't come to me for any good reasons."

It was obviously his own business, but Ling didn't panic at all. Aika, Luoluo and Wei Xi were all borne by the tension.

"I'm not very clear. The person who wants to see you is the Senate. The invitation letter I sent must be approved by the Senate. If the invitation is withdrawn because of rejecting their request, there will be all kinds of inconveniences. It's appropriate. I'm sorry, I invited you here because I took it upon myself to do so. If anything happens, I will definitely use all my strength to send you back safely."

As the princess of the empire, Lan Ming lowered his head to the four of them. Xia Luo also knew the inside story and accompanied Lan Ming to apologize to everyone.

It's natural that they would be angry. The situation is changing rapidly, and no one can make absolute promises about the future. And even though he said so verbally, Lan Ming had no idea whether he could protect everyone by himself.

It might be best if they ask to leave now.

"Does the Senate need to see me for anything?"

"Maybe it's not a bad thing. You can gamble on your luck."

"Brother, what are you talking nonsense about?"

"But I didn't do anything particularly conspicuous. Wei Xi, what do you think?"

"I also feel that we haven't done anything that can attract the attention of the Senate..."

Unexpectedly, what they were talking about was completely opposite to what Lan Ming was thinking.

"Why, why..."

Lan Ming couldn't understand what they were thinking at all.

"This is where they are different from you, Your Highness Princess." Charlotte gently put her hand on Lan Ming's shoulder, "I feel like I can understand now why he was so calm at that time. people."

Recalling the calmness that Aika showed that was inconsistent with his age on the constantly tilting and shaking airship. Now it seems that it is because he has such a girl by his side.

"Maybe that's really the case..."

Compared with themselves, they are too dazzling. Lan Ming was a little envious of the four people who were noisy and noisy outside his reach. But that circle has no place of its own.

The two worlds will never intersect. Lan Ming knows this best.
