Reject me, you damn woman.

Elena could see that she wanted to subtly warn Lynn to be careful of her brothers and sisters, but unfortunately, there was no word "subtle" in Her Highness Historia's dictionary.

However, Elena's worries were exactly the opposite of Historia's.

It's your brothers and sisters who don't understand who Lin En is, Xia!

Elena's heart roared, but she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Lin En just got off the car to get some fresh air. It took less than three minutes, and Xia's brothers and sisters just happened to offend him. It was a bit exaggerated no matter how I thought about it. Maybe I was overthinking it.......

"Haha, you're right, I will be careful."

Lynn just shook her head and smiled.

He was absolutely pissed!

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Elena's forehead.

She had already begun thinking about how to comfort Historia, who had lost a sibling.

Well, if it can be resolved peacefully by losing only one person, that would be best...

Fortunately, this topic that made Elena's scalp tingle did not last long. A new topic soon came up in the carriage. The Shadow Knight who was driving knocked on the carriage again and asked in a low voice:

"Master, where are we going next?"

Everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on Lin En. Obviously, although this was Historia's hometown, everyone tacitly agreed that Lin En was the leader of the team.

Lin En just pondered for a moment, then said casually:

"Rose City, this is His Highness Historia's hometown. In this case, let Historia arrange the rest of the trip. Do we need to go and pay a visit to His Majesty the Fire Rose today?"

"Hehe, I've been waiting for you to ask!"

After hearing what Lin En said, Historia, who was originally a little impatient with Lin En's inexplicable questions, immediately shook her head and said proudly:

"That's not necessary. Since Dad is still alive and well, there is no need for us to be so anxious. You have worked hard on this journey. In this case, when we arrive at Her Highness Historia's territory, how can I not let you see my palace and entertain you well?"

"Palace, Xia, you actually have your own palace?"

Elena quickly cooperated and changed the subject.

And, there are some real shock factors in it.

You know, no matter which country it is, being granted a palace is a special honor that only the most favored princes and princesses can have.

Otherwise, even if brothers and sisters succeeded to the throne and became princes, they could only live in a larger palace.

Sure enough, Xiao Ai...is loved by her family.

Elena was genuinely happy for her friend, but she also felt a certain unspeakable envy in her heart.

After all, for Elena, who had never seen her father and mother since she was a child, the care from her family was a very distant thing.

Lin En also nodded and raised his hand to knock on the wall of the carriage:

"In that case, please follow Historia's instructions. 俁"

"As you command, Master..."

The shadow knight Granny, with a gloomy temperament and bangs covering his eyes, nodded and prepared to turn the carriage around.

"Hey, why are you turning around? We just entered the city!"

Historia stopped him immediately.

"Miss... don't you need to leave the city?"

Not to mention Elena, even the Shadow Knight who was driving the carriage was a little shocked.

You know, no matter which country's imperial city it is, there is naturally a palace inside it - the imperial palace.

Even if favored princes and princesses were granted palaces as an exception, they would most likely be outside the imperial city, just like the Norton family's holiday castle.

How exaggerated the honor and love must be to have a private palace in the imperial city?

"Hehe, what are you talking about? Of course you don't have to leave the city."

Historia proudly lifted her JOJO, her calves wrapped in black stockings swaying.

"Follow Historia's instructions."

Lin En continued to give orders calmly, and the shadow knight driving the carriage quickly responded.

And Elena couldn't help swallowing.

No wonder Xia was a little bossy when she first met him.

Even though we knew that Xia was loved by the emperor, being allowed to build a palace of her own in the imperial city was too much of a love!

Elena, who was already looking forward to Historia's palace, suddenly felt happy for her friend.

However, a new doubt also appeared in Elena's mind.

Xia is so favored, why did she become an "international student" of Zijinhua?

Even though they are very good friends, Purple Gold Flower and Fire Rose are far apart after all. If the Emperor of Fire Rose really loves Xia so much, then no matter how capable other princes and princesses are, it won't be so easy to succeed, right?

With Historia's chattering directions, the carriage turned back and forth on the complex streets of Rose City, heading towards the "palace" mentioned by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

However, after a while, not to mention the Shadow Knight who was driving, even Elena, who was a little slow to realize it, felt something was wrong.

Because they wanted to experience the customs and culture of Rose City, the windows of the carriage were kept open after entering the city to allow passengers to enjoy the scenery along the way at any time.

When you first enter the city, you can see the bustling crowds around you through the car window. The wide avenues are crowded with people, luxurious carriages can be seen everywhere, bustling shops and hawking sounds can be heard one after another, and the northern-style pointed-roof buildings stand tall like a forest, almost blocking out the sun.

And now, no matter how slow Elena was, she could feel that there were fewer people around her and the streets were not as prosperous as before.

If I have to describe it, it is a bit like the location of the three priests' church in the capital of Zijinhua, which is on the edge of the city.

The Shadow Knight driving the car obviously had concerns a long time ago, but Lynn didn't say anything and had to follow Historia's instructions.

Seeing that the place was becoming more and more remote, Elena finally decided to ask Historia.

At first, she wondered if Historia had forgotten the way home after studying abroad for a year. However, considering that her partner had an overly strong self-esteem, she asked politely:

"Shia, are you taking us on some trail?"

"Ha, how come?"

Historia waved her hand casually.

"All the roads that His Highness Historia takes are public roads. Don't worry, Xiao Ai. Our route is correct."

Hearing her partner say this, Elena had no choice but to sit back, but the doubts in her heart became even stronger. However, Lin En just sat quietly in his seat without saying a word.

The carriage drove for about half an hour until it began to get dark.

Historia's shout of "We're here" finally made everyone inside and outside the carriage feel relieved.

However, after taking a look at the scenery outside through the car window, Elena frowned slightly.

This doesn't look like a place where a palace would be built.

"Wuhu, welcome Xiao Ai and Zayu to His Highness Historia's palace!"

Accompanied by a full-of-energy voice, Historia was the first to jump off the carriage. Elena could hardly suppress her curiosity at this time and got off behind her.

And when she really saw the building in front of her, Elena couldn't help but be stunned:

"Xia, are you sure you didn't go the wrong way?"

"Xiao Ai, what are you talking about?"

Historia put her hands on her hips, somewhat unhappy.

"How could Historia-sama mistake her own palace?"

Didn’t you admit your mistake?

The soft-hearted girl said nothing and could only nod in response. However, the building in front of her was far different from the "palace" in her impression.

It has about three floors and has the usual pointed-roof design used by Fire Rose. The sunny wall is covered with cold-resistant vines, and the garden in the front yard is obviously well-maintained and trimmed, but that's all.

No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary villa, even located in a remote area and a bit old. Comparing it from any angle, it is far from being a "temporary palace".

Subconsciously glancing at her friend, Elena was startled.

Being too strong-willed and boastful is indeed what Historia would do, and she has made many jokes about it, but at this moment, Elena only saw sincerity and joy in the girl's eyes.

——She was not bragging, she really treated this place as her own "palace".

Elena closed her mouth and hid all her doubts in her heart.

"Your Highness, is that you?"

At this moment, a surprised voice came from the side. Looking in the direction of the voice, it was a middle-aged woman who was covering her mouth in surprise. She was dressed in simple but clean maid's clothes and holding a large bag of potatoes and other vegetables in her right hand.

"Wahaha, Catherine, surprise, it's the great Princess Historia who has returned to her loyal palace!"

Historia smiled brightly, put one hand on her waist and made a V sign with the other.

Soon, because of the commotion at the door, several people poked their heads out of the villa to look, and when they saw it was Historia, they all ran out in surprise.

They were two maids who looked only a few years older than the others, a middle-aged gardener who was a bit sloppy and wore an open cardigan even in the cold winter, revealing a thin lining, and a white-haired old butler who wore a well-ironed suit, his hair neatly combed back, and looked exhausted.

These people immediately surrounded Historia, pestering the girl with questions. Although the latter always had an impatient expression, she patiently answered their questions one by one, and generously took out gifts from her space ring and gave them to everyone with a very proud attitude.

Although the enjoyment of the friendly pat on the head as a return gift quickly turned into irritation, it can be seen that the others did not care much about the atmosphere of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and even she herself was enjoying it.

Elena just watched it all silently.

To be honest, this not only overturned her normal understanding of the palace, but even overturned her understanding of her roommate.

In her impression, Her Highness Historia has always been the kind of noble princess who lives alone in a magnificent and spacious palace, surrounded by maids with delicate and cold expressions, and has an entire country's wealth and treasures at her disposal to choose from at any time.

It was such a heartwarming scene to be surrounded by many people who seemed to be both servants and family members.

It did surprise Elena a little.

At the same time, the girl's hands, clasped in front of her, tightened unconsciously.

To be honest, if Xia was really the kind of noble princess who had access to the wealth of the entire empire at any time, Elena would not have any envy for her friend.

But now, she sincerely envied her good friend.

Because, I seem to have never felt it before...

A small hand with fiery heat suddenly grasped Elena's wrist, and the warmth penetrated her skin into her blood vessels.

"Hey, don't touch my head! Be careful or I'll kill you off if I don't grow taller. Come meet my friends... ahem, new servants."

Historia took Elena's hand and said proudly:

"This is my roommate Elena. You can call her Xiao Ai. I take good care of her."

Elena blushed as she greeted the servants and said that she came from an ordinary family and did not need to be called "Miss".

The servants greeted Elena cordially and insisted on addressing her with honorific titles. However, knowing well what their own highness was capable of, they obviously did not believe the second half of Historia's words. It was clear who was taking care of whom.

Seeing this, Historia was furious and her bright red eyes were rolling around in anxiety.

Damn it! If these guys keep laughing, the fact that I was the Paramecium taken care of by Xiao Ai at Eden College will be exposed. I must do something to restore my reputation!

After looking Elena up and down, she was suddenly a little shocked:

"Xiao Ai, why are you wearing so light clothes? Rose City is different from Purple Gold Flower. You will catch a cold if you wear such light clothes!"

"Hey, it's okay. I'm fine."

Elena waved her hands quickly.

Historia felt relieved. Isn't this the time for him to show that he is reliable?

While reaching into the storage ring to touch the coat, Historia said seriously:

"No, that won't work. You'll catch a cold. I'll..."

A long black windbreaker gently covered Elena's shoulders. The raised collar kept her warm while covering half of her face, which had suddenly turned red, leaving only two dark eyes exposed.

"That's right, so you still need to put on one more piece of clothing."

Lynn said, walking up to the two of them.

There were still many things he needed to do in this Rose City, but taking care of the sick Elena was obviously not among them.

Damn it, this guy got there first again!
