Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

But now, one of the other two major allies is deliberately distancing itself from the Kingdom of Elvira for some unknown reason.

The other is that the country is in a critical situation where rebellion may break out at any time, and we cannot rely on them to provide any assistance.

Therefore, Simmons must be very cautious in the scale of negotiations with the empire.

You can neither show weakness nor accidentally anger the other person.

If Elvira went to war with the empire alone, the country would probably collapse regardless of whether she won or lost.

In addition, Simmons also noticed that some high-ranking nobles in his country who owned spaceships and rangers had many very suspicious movements.

Maybe if the empire just exerts political and economic pressure, these fools will rebel and destroy Elvira.

"Alas, what should I do now? Even those heroes who are held in high esteem are unreliable."

Simmons felt a little regretful that he had tried to imitate the Empire and summon so-called heroes from another world to expand its military strength.

Many nobles believed that heroes had greater political value than military use.

So now Elvira's five so-called brave men have never been to the battlefield, let alone killed anyone. They just train like playing house every day.

As King Simmons knew very well that the most troublesome thing was that these boys and girls did possess a certain degree of extraordinary power compared to ordinary people.

Under the flattery of those stupid nobles, Simmons felt that it was only a matter of time before one of these young people would lose control for some reason and cause serious harm to the kingdom.

But now these young people have become heroes known to all the people in the royal capital.

Without any reason or excuse, even Simmons, as the King, would find it difficult to adjust their current very generous treatment.

What's more, one of the young men has already been engaged to the daughters of the Duke of Hurst and the Earl of Patrick, both of whom have very high status in the kingdom, and the others also have many suitors with ulterior motives.

If he provoked these restless nobles now, Simmons felt that there was a high probability that a situation would arise that he could not control.

"Ah, I really want to throw away this damned throne!"

Simmons yelled and leaned back in his chair like a child having a tantrum.

Suddenly, he laughed again.

He hadn't shouted this sentence for a long time.

When Simmons was still the crown prince, he often clamored for no right to inherit the throne, which caused his older sister and younger sister a lot of headaches.

“She often complains about this…”

Thinking of his beloved princess, the mother of Juliana and Cecilia, a trace of melancholy appeared on his face.

Both her very close sister and younger sister are no longer alive.

Simmons must protect the two daughters she left behind at all costs.

He calmed himself down and thought about how to deal with the current trouble.

"Gis, are you there?"

Simmons called out to Gis, who had been guarding the door.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Please prepare a letter for me to cancel the engagement ceremony of the five men of the Clemons family."

"But Your Majesty, now..."

"It doesn't matter. If it was the heir or the second son, it would be fine, but the fifth son got married and wanted me to attend. It really makes that guy look bad."

"Your Majesty, please be more careful with your words."

Gis reminded Simmons with a wry smile.

"I understand. Also, please put aside all non-urgent matters for today and tomorrow. I have something important to attend to."

"But Your Majesty, if this is due to Her Highness Yuliana's safe return, wouldn't it be inappropriate to do so?"

"Gis, even I know now is not the time to enjoy some father-daughter affection. I have something important to attend to."

"I understand. Your Majesty, please take some time to rest."

Gis, who had been with Simmons since childhood, knew very well that if he showed his current expression, it meant that he was going to be serious regardless of the consequences.

The last time Giss saw Simmons with this expression was when he forcibly gave the position of princess to a woman of lower noble birth who was discriminated against by the nobles.

"By the way, when Yuliana finishes dealing with Cecilia's affairs, tell her to come see me."

"I understand. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Well, I'm going to cause you trouble again this time."

"Your Majesty is serious."

Seeing Geese leave, Simmons crossed his arms and thought about Akatsuki and the others who brought Yuliana back to the kingdom.

Even though he possessed the magic eyes that could sense magic, inherited from the Maxwell family and the Elvira royal family, Simmons could not sense any magic from Xiao and the others.

Even those who cannot use magic will have magic overflowing from them that Simmons can see.

Simmons had only seen one person in the past who had such strong magic control that the Maxwell family's magic eyes could not see the magic overflow.

The Empire's only seven-star mage, Claire Montgomery.

Even though the three of them were not as strong as Claire, they were still stronger than the six-star mages in the empire who were only in name only.

Simmons estimated that the strength of these three people alone could rival the military strength of nearly 10,000, or even more.

Yuliana's magic eye ability is stronger than Simmons's, and she must have noticed this matter a long time ago.

But she didn't mention...

When it comes to knowing his daughter best, Simmons can proudly say that he is the best in the world. He speculates that Yuliana has probably concealed a lot of things for some reason.

But after thinking carefully for a while, he became worried again.

If it were in the past, Simmons felt that his daughter would give him advice and secretly win over the other party.

But this time, Yuliana not only did not do anything similar, but also intentionally helped the other party conceal his identity.

"My lovely Yuri-chan, could it be that you've fallen in love with that man? Ah, no, I have to stop this... But is this really okay?"

Simmons suddenly realized that what if his daughter really liked the other person and could be happy.

If I do strange things without knowing anything, wouldn’t that ruin my daughter’s happy future?

Simmons hesitated for a long time before deciding how to investigate Xiao.

After deciding how to protect his daughter's future, the silly father began to think about how to overcome Elvira's current crisis.

Chapter 158: It is impossible for the princess to fall in love with the protagonist at first sight when they first meet

*

While Simmons was in his office, worrying about various troubles, Xiao and Raynesia had already arrived at a very special small palace under the leadership of Yuliana.

"These are all magical items that absorb magic power, and there are also magic-sealing stones."

Xiao estimated that if the palace was filled with these things everywhere, the cost of building the palace might be higher than the main hall where the king lived.

"Hmm. These things can reduce the concentration of magic power in the surrounding environment, and it's said that this can alleviate Cecilia's condition. Although it doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect."

Yuliana smiled bitterly.

"This practice does help alleviate the Magic Crystal Syndrome, so these things are not in vain."

"Thank you, Renee. Originally, people with sufficient magical power were not allowed to enter here.

Even I try to limit the number of visits to Cecilia for her health, but if it's just the two of you, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Well, do you want me to give you a tool to limit the overflow of your magic power? That way you can visit your sister more often, right?"

"Is it because of that item that your magic power isn't overflowing?"

"Christo and the others used it before, but now they can basically control the overflow of magic power themselves."

"The people around Akatsuki are so powerful and terrifying..."

Yuliana realized that her father would probably do everything he could to win over Xiao, and she couldn't help but feel a headache.

(No, master.)

Just when Xiao was about to use telepathy, he was secretly interrupted by Raynesia.

"Why? Yuliana is really troubled right now. How can I help her if I don't know what she's thinking?"

(I think you need to stop relying on these abilities and work hard to learn the heart of a woman.)

Why are you suddenly asking me to learn this?

(You once caused serious trouble to many women, including Mia-san, because you didn't understand women's hearts. As your assistant, I think it's very necessary for you to learn now.)

[Damn it, I can't even refute that. I get it!]

"What's matter?"

Feeling something was amiss, Yuliana turned around and looked at the two of them.

"Nothing, are we there yet?"

"Well, that's Cece's room."

Yuliana walked to the door opposite with a heavy heart and knocked.

"who is it?"

A very soft and pleasant voice came from the room, but the voice was so haggard that it made the listener heartbroken.

"It's me, Saisi. I've brought someone to treat you."

Yuliana hesitated for a while, adjusted her mood, forced a happy smile, and then responded to the other party.

"Sister? Please come in!"

"I'm coming in."

When he first saw Cecilia, even Xiao, who was surrounded by beautiful girls, was shocked.

She was certainly very beautiful and lovely, but what concerned Xiao more was her ethereal feeling.

Moreover, the edges of Ceci's fair face were covered with a mesh of blue lines that looked like broken crystals, and her silver-purple hair and eyelashes were dotted with magical crystals.

Xiao had seen many Statusians suffering from Magic Crystal Syndrome, but he had never seen anyone's condition so serious.

"Who are these two?"

"Mr. Xiao and Ms. Raynesia are the doctors I found to treat you."

"Nice to meet you both, I'm Cecilia Maxwell."

Xiao and Raynesia also bowed to the princess who had no airs at all.

"But sister, are you two really as simple as doctors?"

Cecilia, who originally gave people a well-behaved and gentle impression, suddenly showed a devilish smile.

"Saisi, girl, didn't you agree not to use your mind-reading ability on me?"

"Eh? I didn't. I just thought your expression was a little strange, so I just asked casually."

"Cessi, you bastard."

Juliana sat down beside Cecilia's bed and pinched her cheek gently in retaliation.

"But, sister, could you please tell me who these two are? I can't see through their minds."

Noticing the sharp light that flashed in the eyes of the silver-purple girl, Xiao realized that she was still a princess of a country after all, and was not as simple as she seemed.

"We are actually adventurers. Would Her Highness Cecilia believe it?"

"Of course I won't believe it, after all..."

Cecilia originally wanted to pretend to be lively and naughty to respond to Xiao, but when she looked at the other person's face, she was suddenly stunned and couldn't say a word.

"Cecilia? Are you okay?"

Seeing her sister's cheeks blushing, which was very rare, Yuliana immediately became panicked.

"No, it's okay, sister. It's just... Mr. Xiao, please forgive my earlier rudeness."

Xiao was also very puzzled by Cecilia's behavior and looked to Raynesia for help.
