Talulah, I'm still a child.

Talulah couldn't possibly let a prince just stand there doing nothing. She invited Raphsini to dine with her, mainly because Meixue hadn't had enough to eat. Talulah also knew very well that although she was considered an Ursus person and also a Great Yan person, her presence here would inevitably attract attention because of her bloodline. In fact, the fact that Raphsini didn't bring her own guards was a signal of goodwill.

However, it's also possible that this kind-hearted and beautiful prince, for safety reasons, didn't want to cause harm to more unnecessary people if he and Talulah had a conflict.

Having received the Black Serpent's teachings, Talulah's power is comparable to Abrahina's. Raphsini doesn't want to fight her here either. Talulah doesn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble, which is better than anything else.

At the Grass Gang's outpost, Baird, who was eating, suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but look at Vina, who was eating. If there was any big change after becoming Queen Victoria, it was probably that her eating manners had indeed become much more elegant than before. Before, Vina felt that her eating was not even eating, but rather stealing food.

"By the way, Vina, you said before that you were dealing with the council. Why did you have to deal with it? Even though your power as queen has been weakened, it doesn't have to be like this. I remember that the noble faction in the new council only has a few grand dukes, and they don't recognize your rights as king."

Since Vina came to power and purged the old parliament, although the new parliament has taken away her power, everyone is still on the same general path, and this situation shouldn't have occurred.

"That's right, so we're not discussing government orders or anything else..."

At this point, Vina suddenly lost her appetite and couldn't help but reach out and rub her temples, as if thinking about this matter made her uncomfortable.

"To put it simply, they are uneasy about the fact that there is only one Aslan in the world of cash, because I am someone who will not sit securely on the throne. They are worried that something will happen to me and hope that someone will keep me in check."

"That's so idiotic! Vina, you are the Queen of Victoria, how could anyone possibly control you?"

As Indra spoke, he received eye rolls from Baird and Morgan. They were both former guards for Vina, how could they not understand such a simple principle? As one of the few countries in Terra that still has a king, Queen Victoria Vina's power is somewhat less than that of the former King Aslan. This is to prevent Vina or future kings from having too much power but lacking the corresponding abilities, which could lead to chaos in the country.

Moreover, the most powerful entity in Terra right now is the Terra United Council, at least on the surface. Even Vina can't do whatever she wants.

"However, Vina is now Queen Victoria, so finding someone who can keep you in check... isn't easy."

Morgan said, and then received a scornful look from Baird. She shouldn't have had any expectations of the two of them's intelligence. Morgan and Indra were the same; they were both very simple-minded.

"Are you two stupid? What Vina is saying is... that the council is pressuring her to get married."

Baird pointed out the meaning behind Vina's words, and the next moment, Morgan and Indra, who were enjoying their meal, were stunned. Good heavens, they really hadn't thought of that.

"That's right, Baird is right. After all, I'm not young anymore, and the council hopes that I can find someone I like to marry."

"Wow... this is what they do, political marriages, and then they keep trying to sell their children to you, Vina."

Indra's mind instantly conjured up several dramatic scenarios, after all, there have always been quite a few TV dramas like this, and frankly, they're not uncommon. However, Vina shook her head instead.

"No, although they all recommended people they thought were good to me, they also told me that as long as it was someone I liked and wouldn't damage Victoria's reputation, basically just not too bad."

“After all, it’s a new council. I can understand them. Vina, you often travel around in private without guards. If something happens, it would be good to have an heir. Also, having a husband can keep an eye on you and prevent you from doing dangerous things.”

Although Vina is said to be Athrun, she can't take the King's Sword with her now. Leaving her unsupervised would still pose a danger; no one can say for sure that there aren't people secretly spying on Athrun and the Drak Kingdom.

"Yes, that's why I'm having a headache, because I can't argue with that... I'm not exactly young anymore."

Even by Aslan's lifespan standards, Vina is now a grown woman who should have been married long ago. Her father would have had her by now, and even the dukes approve of it, using their seniority to lecture her. Vina couldn't say anything, so she came here to relax and play games with everyone.

"Why can't I refute it?"

“Because the parliament’s concerns are valid, Vina, I also feel that you should find someone.”

With his chin resting on his hand, Baird looked at Vina. This time, it was Baird's turn to receive the eye-rolls from Morgan and Indra.

"What do you mean, Baird? Do you want Vina to bring a guy we don't even know in the future? Or... tsk..."

"Yeah, neither of us is married, and you're single yourself, so why are you saying things like that?"

Indra and Morgan were against it. They had gotten used to the status quo, but they were also a little worried. Even though Vina would come every now and then after becoming queen, she would not always be with them like before. If there were another husband and one or two more children, the current balance would be broken.

"Hey, I mean, don't you guys want to... if Vina had a daughter who looked a lot like her when she was little, wouldn't you want to hug her?"

Indra and Morgan originally wanted to refuse, but they couldn't help but glance at Vina sitting in the middle. They subconsciously imagined Vina's cute appearance as a child and instinctively covered their hearts.

"Hey, wait a minute, you two! Why are you making those faces? Indra, Morgan, say something!"

Vina knew that Indra and Morgan would definitely not agree with Baird's opinion, but she did not expect that these two would be persuaded by Baird so easily. Where is your unwavering determination? Where is your will? Can't you think about our friendship?

"I'm sorry, Vina, I was going to say no, but... my conscience is really bothering me."

"Me too, after all... the law stipulates that you can't lie in front of the king."

Indra and Morgan scratched their cheeks a little embarrassedly, after all, it was a bit embarrassing to talk about such things. However, their ambition remained unchanged. Putting everything else aside, Vina was really soft, cute and adorable when she was a child. She could make a living just by her looks.

"So the three of you are so eager to make me feel like I'm pregnant?"

"Preferably a girl!"

"It can only be a girl!"

"Preferably a well-behaved child!"

The three people spoke in unison, which suddenly made Vina feel an urge to leave. She didn't expect to be pressured to get married during the meeting, and she was still being pressured to get married here. It made her subconsciously think, "Should I really get married?"

Fortunately, before Vina could say anything, the door to the boxing gym was pushed open.

"Your Majesty... King of Advance, there is an emergency. Please return to the palace immediately."

The newcomer was Dagda, the current captain of the Tower Knights and a former member of the Grass Gang. This girl is now the most favored junior of the Steam Knights and has a bright future ahead of her.

"What's wrong, Dagda?"

Generally speaking, Dagda wouldn't come looking for me in such a hurry, nor would he show up during meals.

“We have a guest. The third one is Draco, Talulah who lives in Lungmen.”

Hearing this, Vina frowned in confusion. She knew of Talulah's existence. Victoria had always been concerned about this exiled Draco and had even invited Talulah to come. Granting her a prince title was certainly an option.

However, Talulah politely declined, saying she didn't want to cause Victoria any unnecessary trouble because of her. But now that she had appeared here without saying a word, Vina couldn't help but go and see.

"Sorry, I have to go now."

"Alright, alright, go ahead. I know you're busy with work. It would be so nice if Little Vina could keep us company, sigh..."

Hearing Baird's deliberately teasing words, Vina couldn't help herself and almost fell to the ground, but she still managed to maintain her dignity and quickly left, heading towards the palace.

Although it's called a royal palace, its official name is actually the Western Hall of the Holy King's Society. It's a large place, and it even has a garden. Vina always leaves through the garden's paths and secret passages. Abrahana doesn't know which path it is, otherwise she would definitely have it blocked. However, now, she can't help but worry as she looks at Talulah in front of her.

Talulah is a mixed-race child; her mother is from the Great Yan, but so what? She still possesses everything that Drak should have. The impurity of her bloodline does not affect her power in the slightest. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that her mother's bloodline is equally extraordinary.

"So, you're really just here for tourism?"

"Otherwise, would you bring a little fox here to fight for power, or raze this place to the ground?"

Even with Mei Xue's current power, she could do this, but Talulah still had no interest in such matters; otherwise, she wouldn't have so easily handed over power to the Ursus Federal Council.

"That's true, but I really can't believe it... Couldn't you have gone through the proper channels? Without a passport and visa, I would have deported you directly."

"We're from the same clan, don't be so heartless. Here, this is my wedding invitation."

As she spoke, Talulah took out an invitation from her pocket and handed it over. It was written by Mei Xue last night, and every single one was handwritten by the little fox, full of sincerity.

Looking at the invitation in front of her, and then at Talulah who seemed serious, Abrahina, as the brains of Victoria, felt her mind was in a bit of a mess.

Meanwhile, in the garden of the Western Hall of the Holy King's Society, Lavshini and Meixue got along very well. She liked the obedient little fox very much and even allowed him to pick flowers in the garden.

"Thank you."

Mei Xue's movements were gentle yet swift each time he picked a flower, as if afraid of causing the flowers pain. His thanks were also directed at the flowers, giving Raphsini the illusion that he could hear their voices.

Mei Xue sat quietly in the garden, weaving a flower wreath with her hands. Combined with Mei Xue's temperament and appearance, it gave Raphsini a kind of illusion. She seemed to be seeing an elf who did not belong to this human world.

"Is this... alright?"

After gesturing briefly to determine the size of the wreaths, Mei Xue nodded, then put away the two smaller wreaths and waved to Lafshini.

"Sister Raphsini, come here for a moment."

"Ok?"

Lavshini stepped forward and lowered her head to see what the little fox was saying. However, the next second, she felt something on her head and reached out to touch it... It was a flower wreath?

"Hmm, it really matches my sister perfectly. I'll give it to her~ It won't spoil."

Mei Xue's tail left Rafishini's head, leaving only the beautiful wreath, which fit Rafishini's head perfectly, as if it had been made for her.

This is a return gift, a way of thanking Raphsini for letting her pick flowers here. Mei Xue knows that Talulah and Abrahana's conversation will take time, but that's alright, they don't need to rush, so they have plenty of time.

"……Thanks."

Using the mirror she carried with her, Lafshinie saw her reflection. She was indeed very beautiful, which made people sigh. She even subconsciously thought that she was another ethereal fairy.

"Your Highness Raphsini, Her Highness Abrahina is calling for you."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Lavshini turned to look at Mei Xue, gave her an apologetic smile, and patted the little fox's head.

"Sorry, I have to go now. You can play by yourself for a while."

"Okay, goodbye, sister."

After waving goodbye to Raphsini, Mei Xue continued weaving the next wreath, because he could sense that someone familiar was approaching.

Rushing back, Vina headed straight for Abrahana's office, but when she caught a glimpse of Mei Xue sitting in the garden, she found her legs gave way and she couldn't move.

The little fox was so cute and quiet, like a fairy that only existed in fairy tales or dreams. Vina felt that he was familiar, but she couldn't remember when such a person had appeared in the Western Hall of the Holy King's Guild. This was someone she would never forget if she had seen him before.

Vina tried to walk forward slowly, and the next second, she saw her teacher and battle partner appear beside Mei Xue.

"...I'm sorry, please calm down."

Gawain appeared to be injured, with some blood at the corner of his mouth. However, this was due to Mei Xue's previous dissatisfaction. The little fox retained his memories because the Beast Master was considered his child, but this was not out of favoritism; it was simply to ensure a better handover between the old and new worlds.

"Oh well, never mind. Anyway, you didn't reveal my identity directly. Hmm, Sister Vina, it's been a long time."

Mei Xue wasn't stupid. Gao Wen deliberately appeared in front of her at this moment, clearly intending to warn Vina that the person in front of her was the dangerous existence he had mentioned.

However, Vina only found Meixue cute, and even had a feeling that "I have seen this younger brother before".

Moreover, many people would call her Your Highness or Your Majesty, but only a few would call her Vina. Something seemed to shatter in her mind, and Vina suddenly remembered who the person in front of her was.

"Mei Xue!!!"

Mei Xue's gaze toward Gao Wen became even more displeased.

New World IV and V. Ready to cause a huge ruckus!

"Tsk, this has just created a bunch of work for me out of nowhere."

Abrahana couldn't help but rub her head. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter if they came, but it was Talulah. This girl would be fine elsewhere, but in Victoria, because of the special nature of her bloodline, the impact of her arrival was no less than that of the Sarkaz queen visiting in person.

As one of only three Draks in the world, she was quite happy to welcome her distant cousin. However, Victoria was not yet truly stable. She and Vina had only been in charge for two or three years, and there were still many people trying to cause trouble in secret. Over the years, in order not to get her sister's hands dirty, Abrahana had secretly killed countless people. The turmoil caused by the Duke of the Nation still had lingering effects.

This is why Abrahim and the new Victorian council are anxious about Vina's habit of going out on her own to observe the area under her rule.

"Tsk, she really should find a man to keep that guy in check, but... well, Lavshini isn't young anymore."
