Reject me, you damn woman.

"Just kidding. By the way, you just said that Historia-sama is preparing a gift for me?"

Lynn changed the subject.

"Ah, that one,"

Martina scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I overheard it accidentally when I was treating an injured worker at the construction site. Lady Celitia might know more, but you'd better not ask. I only vaguely know what kind of flower it is. Anyway, that black-bellied princess and the stupid princess thought about it together. They seemed very sure that you would like it. To be on the safe side, you should pretend that you don't know."

flower?

Lin En was also a little confused when he heard this.

Although he is now the Prince of Flame Flower, Lin En is not very interested in flowers. However, after all, it is the intention of Princess Historia, and even Princess Hedwig is involved. So he should just pretend to be very happy and coax her.

"Well, goodbye, annoying little dragon prince."

While Lynn was lost in thought, Martina picked up the last suitcase with a "whoosh" and jumped into the back of the carriage. Celitia opened the door for her, nodded gently at Lynn, and made the sign of the blessing cross on her heavy chest.

Lynn waved and saw the church's carriage off.

He was not very sad. Although the messengers and the hound sisters were precious resources of the church, Lin En had a feeling that this would definitely not be the last time they would meet.

However, since all the people in the church have left, it is time for me, a prince from a foreign country, to consider returning home.

So, today’s next destination has been decided.

Returning to his carriage, Granny lifted the curtain and asked, "Your Highness, where are we going next? Do we want to go back?"

"No, let's go to the construction site."

Lynn said casually.

"Construction site, are you going to see Historia-sama?!"

Granny suddenly became excited. A qualified fan writer smelled a new subject.

"Don't talk nonsense,"

Lynn waved her hand.

"I am the Prince of Flame Flower. Is there anything wrong with me going to inspect the city's construction?"

Granny immediately showed an expression of "I understand, I understand", stopped talking, lowered the curtains, and drove the carriage.

The big black horse snorted loudly and stepped proudly with its legs raised high. The carriage passed through the rebuilt streets and various obstacles with ease. Even though he had seen it many times, Granny couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

This step was naturally taught to Dark Horse by Lin En. It is called... "Emperor's Dance". I originally thought it was to satisfy His Highness's flashy taste, but it turned out to be quite practical.

After walking for a while, we could hear the clanging sounds of various tools such as hammers and shovels ahead, and occasionally the deafening shouts of workers.

The destination turned out to be a construction site.

Although it is still a cold winter day, the Fire Rose people are still very enthusiastic and busy. In addition to the sense of accomplishment of rebuilding their homes and the advanced allowance subsidies during special times, the silver and red figures in the center of the construction site also greatly encourage the workers.

A foreman recognized Lynn's carriage and ran forward to greet him in surprise, but he shook his finger lightly to refuse and walked into the construction site alone.

The silver figure was naturally the former eldest princess and now the regent, Her Royal Highness Hedwig. The silver-haired princess was discussing something seriously with a foreman wearing glasses and with a look of awe on his face on a high place.

She was still wearing a silver jacket and a fluffy white cape today. The collar had the warm long fur of a snow rabbit, which gently scratched Hedwig's fair cheek, but did not affect her serious state at all.

She was as bright as a lamp in the snow. Just standing there, she filled the workers with enthusiasm.

Next to her stood the court arcanist Ailijia. Although she performed well during the disaster, she was demoted from court arcanist to chief mage of the prince's guard because she left her post without permission, and became Hedwig's personal bodyguard.

It's just that it's hard to tell whether this is a punishment or a reward for her...

However, the court arcanist who usually only looked at Hedwig with fanatical admiration now looked a little worried. Although Hedwig occasionally gave her a reassuring look, Alica's eyes revealed worry from time to time when she looked at the silver-haired princess. She was obviously worried about whether the already weak silver-haired princess could withstand the severe cold. After all, even if she was already an arcanist, the physical bonus of the magic profession was not very good.

"Why are you here?"

She suddenly seemed to notice something, frowned slightly, looked in a certain direction, and an arcane message was sent through magic.

"Oh, I get it!"

Ailijia raised her eyebrows.

"Are you here to see Historia-sama?"

"Don't talk nonsense,"

Lynn cleared her throat.

"What happened to Prince Flame Flower coming to inspect our work?"

"Haha, if you say so then it is so."

Ailijia twitched the corners of her lips. Now the two of them were no longer strangers, and they even had a bit of comradeship.

But she couldn't stand seeing these two arrogant princes and princesses dilly-dallying in doing things. If it were her and Princess Hedwig, the three children would have been just there to watch the show.

She rolled her eyes, as if she suddenly remembered something, and sent another arcane message, admonishing,

"Don't be in a hurry to show up, there might be a surprise."

Lynn: ?

According to Lynn's memory, this was a very prosperous central block, and was considered the face of the Fire Rose. No wonder Hedwig had to brave the cold wind to inspect the site in person.

There are guys who seem like there's nothing to worry about but are actually very worrying. Naturally, there are also guys who seem very worrying but are actually completely at ease.

"Oh oh oh oh, work harder for me, Your Highness. Today our second construction team is still making faster progress than the first team!"

A vibrant voice suddenly rang out from another part of the construction site. Among the plain blue work clothes and yellow hats, the petite girl in red overalls and a small red safety helmet was particularly eye-catching.

Under her command, a team of shirtless men in overalls suddenly let out a violent shout, as if they were given an injection of chicken blood, and rushed to the construction site while swinging all kinds of tools, and the hammers almost flew sparks.

It turned out to be Historia. Compared with the spotless Hedwig, she looked much more disheveled. Her tailor-made work clothes and safety helmet were dirty, her nose and cheeks were covered with dust, and her proud red hair was curled up, and her two ponytails were tied into two buns behind her head.

Although her instructions were mostly just words like "charge", "go up", "do it first and talk later", "I don't understand it either, blow it up first and talk later".

And she is indeed not just serving as the fountain commander on the scene. The efficient blasting ability of the fire arcane allows Historia to become a human explosive. She can explode wherever she points. The dust on her body is the result of sticking to her during the blasting process. Both her speaking habits and behavior patterns make her look like a skilled old worker.

Of course, the workers also enjoyed it.

If Hedwig's appearance was like a bright light from a high place, then Historia was like a bonfire in the snow.

The former makes people feel extremely at ease as long as she exists, while the latter has a magical power that can infect anyone.

Even Hedwig and others who were originally discussing the drawings seriously were attracted by her. They looked over there unconsciously, shook their heads slightly, smiled, and then continued to work at their desks.

Even occasionally, there would be some bold guys who would make a little teasing.

For example, a worker who is obviously familiar with Historia would ask:

"Your Highness Historia, you are so powerful, when will you capture the prince of Purple Gold Flower?"

Hearing this, Historia, who was originally full of vigor and energy, suddenly blushed and said, "He was the one who pursued me...", "I'm preparing it, watch me charm him with my gift", "It's a royal matter, we can't just talk about taking him down", and the construction site was suddenly filled with happy laughter.

At this moment, the little princess who was extremely shy a second ago suddenly looked fierce, stared at a certain position, and said sternly:

"Hey, what's wrong with that guy over there? Why isn't he wearing work clothes and a helmet?"

"You are so shameful! Get out of this construction site!"

The workers didn't really care.

Unlike Hedwig, who could only inspect the site occasionally due to health reasons and busy official duties, Historia was a permanent guest at the construction site. As a result, some noble children would often come to chat with her under various excuses.

On the first day, Historia, thinking about her status as a princess and the principle of "the higher the status, the greater the responsibility", still received the guest seriously and said a few perfunctory words. But after a few days, the princess was completely immersed in the life of a traitor and her patience was completely exhausted. She was in a state of "I don't want to see anyone I want to see".

At this time, the safety production rules become particularly practical. No matter who you are, even if you are a son or a princess, you have to abide by them. Do you dare not?

What's more, now all the nobles and officials with a certain status already know that the status of Her Royal Highness the Little Princess is no longer what it used to be. Even if they feel unhappy, they have to step down tactfully.

But the blond young noble who was caught today was not panicked at all. Even though he was discovered, he did not leave in embarrassment. The wind, snow and dust from the construction site made it difficult for Historia to see the other person's face clearly, but he could still see that he was approaching this side steadily.

"Hey, you didn't run away, but kept walking towards me. You are quite courageous. I would have given you a chance at other times. But unfortunately, I already have a boyfriend. The guy pursuing me is the prince of Purple Gold Flower. Without his consent, I advise you to be careful."

Historia was a little surprised at first, but after noticing that Hedwig on the platform was also looking over here, he suddenly became confident and boasted proudly.

There were bursts of laughter on the construction site. Apparently, this kind of exaggerated boasting was part of the construction site experience, and Historia absorbed it perfectly. However, she didn't notice that her "big backer", Hedwig, had buried half of her face in the fur collar of her cloak and was laughing softly.

"Really? I didn't know that the prince of Zijinhua was pursuing you, Your Highness."

The figure was gradually approaching and said with a smile.

"Hehe, there are so many things you don't know, why should I tell you... Hey, eh?!"

After recognizing the person, Historia's cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin En snapped his fingers, and the wind, snow and smoke between the two were immediately blocked by an invisible air wall, and a clean, straight road appeared between them.

Lynn walked away slowly, stepping through the snow and showing off.

At this time, countless people on the construction site stopped what they were doing and watched the two of them.

"Is this our Prince of Flame Flower, His Royal Highness the Prince of Purple Gold Flower?"

"What a handsome man, ah, I'm in love!"

"Her Royal Highness is not bad either, the public screen is a good match!"

Granny held the horse's reins, holding a notebook, his eyes wide open, Ailijia crossed her arms and smiled knowingly, and although Hedwig still smiled, her fingers unconsciously embedded in the drawings, scaring the engineers around her so much that they swallowed their saliva repeatedly, but dared not say anything.

Historia covered her chest and felt her heart pounding. This atmosphere, could it be...

Lin En, who had come closer, suddenly revealed a smug smile:

"Hey~ Someone just told me not to show up in a hurry, but there is such a surprise. It's not good to say bad things about others behind their backs, Your Highness. However, if you are pursuing me, I might give you a chance."

"what?!"

Historia suddenly realized and retorted,

"You are just a piece of trash. Just wait. When Historia becomes the queen, her first order will be to ride on your head! By then, you won't stop even if you beg for mercy!"

"Humph!"

"cut!"

The two ignored each other, and the atmosphere on the construction site suddenly became cold and silent as their conversation ended.

"No, is it over?"

"It seems so..."

The workers were whispering.

"No way, this is the end?!"

Ailijia couldn't believe it and stared at Lin En who was looking around angrily.

She couldn't imagine that the message she secretly passed to Lin En actually became a means for the other party to attack Historia? !

The god of love tied you two up with steel bars, and you said you are a fire arcanist who can melt the steel bars?!

"Confess to me now!"

Alicia slammed the table and complained loudly. Granny nodded in agreement, sighed, and put away the book. Hedwig smiled and comforted the two lost people:

"After all, that's what those two are like, right? That's good too, um... Mr. Engineer, where were we just now?"

The engineer looked at the blueprint that was crumpled by Hedwig and swallowed his saliva:

"I just mentioned that the plan is not suitable. Please wait for a moment, Her Highness Hedwig, we will go get the second plan immediately!"

At the same time, on the construction site, Historia was fiddling with the brim of his helmet, standing next to Lynn with a look of disdain on his face, and said proudly:

"Hey, you came here just to make fun of me? You'll be disappointed. I'm not the same person I was before."

"I'm not that free. I just came to inspect. However, Historia has indeed made a lot of progress. If it were you in the past, just coming to this construction site without causing any trouble would have required Elena and I to spend a lot of effort. Of course, if someone wanted to give me a gift, I would be even happier."

Lynn laughed.

"Hehe, I'll just take that as a compliment. Wait, what did you just say? Gift, gift, gift, gift...gift, what gift?!"

Historia's face suddenly turned red and she denied it.

"No gift, I have nothing to give you!"

“I guessed it.”

Lynn nodded, not taking it seriously.

Historia also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a close call. I thought that Historia's genius plan was known to him.
