Go back? There's no going back.

After seeing the prince performing the knight's salute to the princess, he suddenly had an idea and quickly took out the communication magic device to start the paid live broadcast.

Even Su Wei had to admit that this guy was very capable and had a good business sense.

Sure enough, not long after, the broadcast screen shook, and the military police's cold warnings and the man's panicked explanations were heard in the background.

Then, with a man's scream, the broadcast ended.

"..."

He watched all this quietly until the picture was interrupted, and Su Wei came back to his senses a little.

Then, when he realized the series of consequences that would result from the First Prince's actions, an indescribable joy suddenly surged in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

……it is good.

good good!

Although Su Wei did not care about what the next ruler would do, he cared very much about whether the First Princess could finally ascend the throne.

Originally, he was worried about the sudden return of the prince and his sudden rise.

But now, the First Prince, whose reputation has skyrocketed recently and who was even rumored to have been chosen to be the next king, actually performed a knight's salute to another member of the royal family in public?

What does this mean?

This means that the uncertainty that had been threatening the princess's ascension to the throne... has disappeared!

Even now, with the help of this prince knight, the first princess, who already had a huge advantage in the competition with the second princess... will be even more powerful.

In this way, for that lord, the next throne is within his grasp.

From now on, all the citizens of this empire have to do is to show loyalty to the new queen!

“Jie…Jiejie…”

Just thinking of this, Su Wei felt the smile on his lips becoming increasingly unbearable.

"You look happy."

At this moment, beside Su Wei, who was laughing without caring about his image, an elegant female voice mixed with a hint of confusion suddenly came.

"Of course I'm happy. It's done! The princess' ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion! Now we just have to wait until the old queen abdicates... hm?"

After responding subconsciously, Su Wei suddenly felt something was wrong.

The person who was talking to me just now didn’t seem to be the little white-haired boy, but a woman with a voice that sounded somewhat familiar... ?

His neck stiffened slightly, and he tilted his head a little bit to look to the left.

Soon, a bright and dignified face came into his sight.

Although he was wearing a hat and casual clothes, Su Wei was still shocked the moment he saw the other person's appearance clearly.

“W-W-W-W-W-W…?!”

At the same time, the white-haired young man next to Su Wei heard the voice and turned around, as if he was suddenly frightened by something. He stared at the woman with his eyes and even stuttered when he spoke.

Obviously, he had also recognized the woman's identity.

No, it is better to say that there is no one in this empire who does not recognize this face.

"...Shh, be quiet."

Glancing at the white-haired young man from the corner of her eye, the queen of a country raised her index finger to her lips.

“So grand!”

The white-haired young man immediately straightened his body, covered his mouth with his hands, and looked straight ahead.

"And then? Who did you say you were going to wait for to abdicate?"

Looking at Su Wei again, the Queen asked with a smile.

"..."

When their eyes met, Su Wei's expression froze slightly.

After a moment, Su Wei, who had also come to his senses, sniffed the familiar fragrance and fell silent.

"You...why are you here?"

He did not answer the question but asked it back.

Originally, when he saw her, he subconsciously wanted to do as his mother had instructed him and continue to be rude to the queen.

But when he thought about the fact that the other party had helped him just three days ago, he hesitated and finally used honorifics again.

"Um...yes, why is Yu here?"

When asked by Su Wei, the Queen tilted her head and looked towards the main gate of the royal city. "Maybe it's because it's already past eight o'clock, but the little princess and the little prince haven't arrived yet, so I'm getting a little bored waiting backstage?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."

The topic suddenly changed, and the queen of a country stared at Su Wei with some confusion: "I am a little curious, why is my brother here?"

"…I accepted a commission from the training camp."

"Ah, that ritual atmosphere group or something like that?"

"Correct."

"Hmm... is your little voice enough for the job?"

“Oh, of course I can… The first princess is the best in the world! The first princess in the world—wuwu??”

After Su Wei finished the first half of the sentence, he suddenly started shouting without any warning.

Then, the Queen in front of him, who looked stunned, covered his mouth tightly with her right hand.

“…Alright, alright, I know you like your princess, so just shut up.”

Noticing the gazes from all around, the queen of a country silently lowered the brim of her hat a little lower, and then, as if she was amused by her anger, she glared at Su Wei with a very kind look.

This time, Su Wei originally planned to use external factors to drive aside the empress who he respected a little but felt was more of a hindrance.

But after their eyes met, he tactfully calmed down again.

"How is your health since you were discharged from the hospital?"

After a brief silence, the Queen beside him spoke again and asked about Su Wei.

“…very healthy.”

Although he was doubtful about the other party's motive for asking this question, Su Wei still nodded honestly.

"Do you eat on time every day?"

"what?"

"Ok?"

"...No, I eat on time."

After a brief conversation, Su Wei's eyes gradually became solemn, and beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.

This sounds like a casual conversation...what's going on?

Is his relationship with the queen so close?

Moreover, for some reason, Su Wei always felt that... the queen now seemed to have an indescribable sense of majesty in his eyes, which made him quite uncomfortable.

"You should pay attention to the nutritional balance when eating. It seems that you rarely eat vegetables..."

As the queen said this, she pinched Su Wei's face and twisted it: "Be less picky about food in the future, understand?"

It was obviously just a simple communication, but Su Wei always felt that the invisible sense of oppression from the Queen was getting stronger and stronger.

"You...you care whether I eat vegetables or not..."

He turned his head away and silently pressed the part of his face that was twisted. After a moment of silence, in order to get rid of the strange feeling, Su Wei gritted his teeth and spoke like this.

"Why, I can't control you?"

However, what he was greeted with was the other party's half-smiley gaze: "I can manage the entire empire, but you can't?"

"you--"

"……you're right."

Su Wei wanted to refute her loudly.

But he suddenly realized that what the other party said... seemed to make a little sense.

He couldn't find any point to refute for a moment.

In the end, Su Wei fell silent again, watching the other party twist his face like a winner.

"So, what's the answer?"

After doing all this, the queen tilted her head and looked at Su Wei leisurely again.

“…What answer?” Su Wei said in a muffled voice.

"Didn't I tell you not to be picky about food from now on?"

"..."

Although he couldn't figure out why the man in front of him would suddenly care about his diet, after a moment of silence, Su Wei gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I won't be picky."

"That's right."

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Jueyan's face, and the queen touched Su Wei's head with a smile.

……presumptuous.

My buddy’s head can’t be rubbed by just anyone.

Su Wei wanted to lose his temper, but after realizing that the welcoming ceremony was organized by the First Princess herself, he calmed down a little and dared not speak out.

"Come to think of it, you guys seem to have come here very early? Have you had breakfast today?"

At this moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, the Queen asked Su Wei.

"Ate."

Su Wei answered immediately.

Although I didn't eat it, I always feel that things will become more troublesome if I answer honestly.

"Really eaten?"

"It's really delicious."

Facing the other party's somewhat suspicious eyes, Su Wei's scalp tingled slightly.

So why did this person suddenly pay attention to his diet?

Could it be that he was planning to secretly add some weird things in it to play pranks on people in the future... ?

"…Is that so? That's good."

In front of Su Wei, the Queen heard his answer and nodded with a satisfied expression.

Then, as if she noticed something, her eyes passed Su Wei and looked far away at the main gate of the royal city.

"It seems that the negotiations over there have ended."

With a small sigh, the Queen retracted her gaze and looked at Su Wei again: "Then, I should go back to the backstage."

"……it is good."

"good?"

"…No, I mean…take care."

"…Well, then, bye."

She stared at Su Wei with a frown on her face. Although there was still a subtle dissatisfaction on her face, in the end, the queen did not pursue the matter any further.

"Ah, right."

Before leaving, as if she suddenly remembered something, she turned her eyes to the white-haired young man beside her, and said with a friendly smile: "Although this child has a bit of a weird personality, he is a very good person by nature. I hope you can get along well. Thank you for your help."

"Although this child has a somewhat awkward personality, his nature is very good. I hope you can get along well with him. Thank you for your help."
