Go back? There's no going back.

There was no weird stuff coming out like virginity.

After a moment of silence, Su Wei forced himself to suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind. He turned his gaze and carefully observed the Empress of the Empire sitting opposite him with his peripheral vision.

At this moment, the Queen had changed back into her home clothes, and her wet red hair was temporarily tied into a bun.

But for some reason, although she was clearly a victim, the queen's expression and demeanor did not seem to have changed much, except that her cheeks had become a little redder than when she had just come out of the bath.

She didn't even seem to have any intention of blaming Su Wei.

Instead, she is as... uh, calm and elegant as always?

"And then, my lovely sister."

At this moment, the silence that enveloped the entire main hall was broken. As if she was a little tired of this silence, the empress of the empire, who was half leaning on the sofa, opened her mouth and took the initiative to look at the bodyguard beside her: "Sister thought you had forgotten that you had a home here, so, what is the reason for coming back this time?"

"..."

Being asked this by the Empress of the Empire, the bodyguard was silent for a moment, and then, as if she had made some kind of mental preparation, she met the Empress Krenna's gaze head-on and said in a low voice: "Sister, you should abdicate."

Their eyes met and the girl said something shocking.

"……oops."

However, the queen in front of the girl seemed to have expected this sentence to come out of her sister's mouth. She just blinked her eyes and said in a calm tone: "You only come home once every few months, and this time you come here and say this?"

"Sister, please don't talk about other things."

Facing her sister who did not respond directly, the bodyguard took a deep breath, her eyes becoming colder and colder: "The situation in Lahe, including how turbulent the situation in the entire continent is now... Sister, you should know better than anyone else."

"You actually agreed to the Allied Spark Plan...Sister, you were planning to abdicate, why did you want to get involved in this mess at the last minute?"

As she spoke, Klina's tone gradually became more urgent: "You obviously just need to step down and give your position to a more suitable person, and let someone else take over this plan."

"Who knows."

Looking at her sister who was questioning her, the empress of the empire smiled lightly and said disapprovingly: "If something like this happens during my term, you can't let me run away with my tail between my legs, right?"

If the destruction of the Lah Kingdom had happened after his abdication, Krenna probably wouldn't have any feelings about it now.

But now, since she happened to be at the end of her term, she didn't have the habit of playing ostrich.

"Sister, can you recognize yourself?"

Hearing her sister's willful answer, Klina was furious and couldn't help but said, "If it was you in the past, I wouldn't say that, and I wouldn't be qualified to say that, but now... you know your situation better than I do."

"The last time we tested it, it was almost at 5.7—"

As she said this, the bodyguard stared at her loved one in front of her, her voice becoming increasingly low.

But for some reason, watching this scene, Su Wei, who was sitting upright beside her, always felt that the bodyguard at this moment was not questioning the Empress of the Empire, but rather blaming herself for something.

"Yes, but...what does it matter?"

However, after hearing her sister's words, the expression on the face of the empress of the empire did not change much, as nonchalant as always: "Just because I am weak does not mean that they have become stronger. As long as I am still in power, I will protect this empire."

"……elder sister!"

Hearing the Empress's completely unshaken response, Klina couldn't help but clench her fists: "I'm not kidding you."

"Clina."

Hearing this, the empress of the empire looked at her calmly: "I'm not kidding either."

"..."

"If there is nothing else, go back and don't disturb my sister's good mood. Go away..."

Seeing that her sister wanted to say something, Klenna put her chin on her right hand and turned to look out the window.

"...!"

Seeing that the communication had completely failed, the bodyguard took a deep breath and subconsciously clenched her hands tighter.

But in the end, as if she suddenly remembered something, she looked down at her hands, and she became visibly lost.

"I am leaving."

After gritting her teeth and standing up from the sofa, Klina was about to turn around and leave.

But on the way, she noticed Su Wei who had never had a chance to speak.

After a few seconds of silence, she forced a smile on her face and looked at Su Wei with inquiring eyes.

"…Don't worry about me. I can do it myself."

Their eyes met, and Su Wei realized that the bodyguard who was about to leave was hesitating whether to stay a little longer because she was worried that she might not be able to speak up when she was alone with the Queen. Su Wei immediately shook his head at her.

Although he once again felt how strong the bodyguard's sense of responsibility was at this moment, Su Wei still rejected her kindness.

After all, even he, an outsider, could see how unpleasant the atmosphere was between the two sisters.

In this situation, I always feel bad to force others to stay here with me.

"……I see."

Seeing Su Wei shaking his head at her, the bodyguard was silent for a moment, then walked straight out of the main hall without looking back.

Soon, the entire hall returned to silence.

"I'm sorry for letting you see this."

After a moment, this brief silence was broken, and Su Wei heard the gentle voice of the Empress of the Empire again.

He subconsciously looked at her, only to find that she was staring at him with calm eyes.

Her flawless facial features were still beautiful, her figure was still elegant and dignified, but at this moment, after ending the unpleasant conversation with the bodyguard, she looked a little tired.

Looking at her like this, Su Wei suddenly felt dazed.

At this moment, he finally vaguely realized something.

"Then, little brother, what's the matter that brought you here with Klina this time?"

At this moment, the eyes of the empress of the empire fell completely on Su Wei. She looked at him and said in a teasing tone: "I thought you would never come to me on your own initiative?"

"..."

Hearing this, Su Wei's expression froze a little, and he became a little embarrassed: "I'm very sorry, this time... I really came to you because I have something to ask for."

"It's okay, huh?"

Listening to Su Wei's words, the empress of the empire remained calm, and responded as if to comfort him: "The most stable relationship between people is interest. This is normal, isn't it?"

"That being said, I don't want to have only a profit relationship with you."

"Eh?"

As Su Wei blurted out these words that made him feel a little uneasy, as expected, the Queen in front of him was stunned.

But after taking a deep breath, Su Wei forced himself to suppress the thought of retreating that was constantly emerging in his heart.

Then, under the gaze of the Queen that was mixed with surprise and confusion, he slowly stood up.

"Perhaps you may think that I am lying, but this is my truest thought right now."

Facing the Queen, he stood straight, with a calm face, and bowed slightly to the Queen in front of him, expressing the respect he wanted to express most at the moment: "I now sincerely believe that it is great to meet you."

To be honest, on the way here today, Su Wei had carefully thought about what attitude he should take when facing the Queen.

Is it like before, following the empty instructions of the mother in the past, and still being stubborn and rude to the Queen even though he has already received benefits from her?

Or should we change the way we do it and ask the other party honestly and respectfully based on our true inner thoughts?

This dilemma still existed in Su Wei's mind until he entered the door.

But at this moment, looking at the Queen in front of him, who was as strong and calm as before but inexplicably made Su Wei feel a sense of disobedience, Su Wei already had the answer in his heart.

Su Wei remembered very clearly that no matter when he was buying medicine in the treasure pavilion or when he was frowned and stared at by the Knight in the courtyard of the First Palace, it was this Lord who helped him out.

For such a good person who had helped him many times, Su Wei finally made a bold decision.

For the first time, he no longer followed what his mother had said.

Bad news, his rebellious phase may have arrived.

The good news is that this rebellious period has come a little late, his mother will never come back, and no one will teach him a lesson for it... hehe.

"..."

At the same time, after Su Wei took the initiative to change his attitude, the Queen in front of him seemed to have been shocked by something, and she stood there in a daze.

Just looking at her bewildered look, it would be hard to imagine that this queen was a good sister who could calmly drive her younger sister out of the house just a few seconds ago.

"My Lady Queen, I came here this time to verify something with you."

Seeing this scene, Su Wei stopped beating around the bush.

After belatedly expressing his respect to the queen in front of him, he chose to get straight to the point: "Excuse me, did the sweet drink I drank in Tianbao Pavilion that day have any special effects? For example, it can greatly improve the efficiency of practice--"

"..."

As Su Wei finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Su Wei did not urge him.

After all, even he, a layman who had just started practicing, could see the importance of that sweet drink.

Although Su Wei remembered that the Queen had said to him at that time, "I will tell you what this is after you drink it", the right to interpret everything is ultimately in the hands of the strong.

Therefore, at this time, Su Wei just waited quietly for the other party's reply.

It doesn’t matter whether you say it or not.

However, even after several minutes, Su Wei, who lowered his head slightly, still did not hear any response.

——Although sweet drinks are indeed important, is it so important that even the queen of a country would worry about it for so long?

Feeling a little strange, he raised his head and looked at the Empress of the Empire in front of him again.

Then he realized that the other party was staring at him absentmindedly, just like he had done a few minutes ago, as if he had not yet recovered from some kind of shock...

"Um... Her Majesty the Queen?"

Seeing this scene, Su Wei blinked in a daze and reminded: "Are you okay?"

"Eh??"

It was not until the moment when her eyes met Su Wei again that the Queen seemed to come back to her senses.

"Ah... um, I'm fine. Yu-no, I... I'm fine."

A hint of panic flashed across her pretty face. The empress came back to her senses and raised her hand to cover her mouth, coughing lightly. She stared at Su Wei's face again: "You just said that you drank that sweet drink in Tianbao Pavilion that day, what happened?"

"Uh, I want to ask you, where did that sweet drink come from?"

Hearing this, Su Wei was silent for a moment, and after organizing his words a little, he added: "Thanks to that sweet drink, my practice efficiency has improved a lot in the past few days, and the results are very exaggerated."

"Eh? You said your training efficiency has improved...?"

However, for some reason, after hearing Su Wei's words, the Queen in front of him seemed to be more surprised than he was: "Not only Klina, but it also works if you drink it?"

“Yes, the effect is very significant.”

Hearing this, Su Wei felt a little relieved.

Judging from the Queen's reaction just now, his speculation was obviously correct.

The other medicinal power in his body that greatly improved his practice efficiency...as expected, came from that cup of sweet drink.

However, what surprised Su Wei was that, judging from the Queen’s reaction, she originally thought that the sweet drink would only be useful to the bodyguard?

So, the thing was originally formulated for the bodyguard lady's physique? It just happened to work on him too?

"...Can you let me see your current training status?"

Just when Su Wei was confused, he heard the voice of the Empress of the Empire again.

"of course."

Nodding, Su Wei let out a long breath and slowly raised his right hand.

The next second, a ray of pure magic power slowly condensed at his fingertips.

"Huh...? Level 2...?"

However, what puzzled Su Wei was that after seeing the purity of his current magic power at a glance, the Queen in front of him was suddenly stunned. For some reason, a look of astonishment appeared on her beautiful face again.

"How have you been practicing these past two days?"
