“Your Highness!! I am back!!”

After entering the palace, the four sisters and their two guardians remained in the main hall . The youngster bolted straight upstairs while simultaneously shouting . Perhaps he hoped to see his Queen . Well, technically, she wasn’t the Queen, yet . The four sisters stood in the hall feeling hopeless . The maid came up to them to take their cloaks and luggage . The maid gave them a bow: “Please come to the guest room to wait . ”

The group went to rest in the guest room . Nona sat down into the soft sofa and looked at the walls around: “This imperial palace doesn’t look any different . ”

Vera looked around and then corrected Nona: “It’s a bit smaller than Dad’s, but this place isn’t as rich as the North, so it’s normal for it to be smaller . Plus, the imperial palace is the most resplendent building here . ”

Curious, Liu Yue scanned her surroundings . Every part of the palace was a new experience to her since she rarely went to the Imperial Palace . Compared to her three sisters who resided in the more resplendent edifice, Liu Yue felt that the palace they were in was grandeur .

Ying and Tanya inspected the surroundings of the guest room to ensure there were no secret pa.s.sages or traps . Once they ensured the safety of the room, the two took the front and rear of the room and prepared themselves . The two were always in full gear, which was burdensome for the four sisters, so they weren’t all that lively .

Soon, footsteps came from outside . Ying pressed her hand on her sword handle to ready herself for any threats . A guard slowly pushed the door open and looked inside . He respectfully bowed to them: “Esteemed guests, Miss Vera will soon personally be here . We are aware of your ident.i.ties . We welcome you to Galaluocia’s imperial palace . We will do our best to take care of you for you are our esteemed guests . Would you like to have something to drink for now? Perhaps fruit juice or tea?”

Nona raised her hand and cheerfully exclaimed, “Fruit juice!”

“Fruit juice . ”

Besides Vera, the other three selected fruit juice . Ying, Tanya and Vera opted for tea .

The tea wasn’t the tea the elves and humanity had but brewed tea leaves . They tried it at the port . Ying and Tanya felt it was a new taste, and they were fond of it, while the four sisters considered it too bitter . Vera, however, probably started drinking the local tea to prove she was the eldest sister and was a grown up .

Their drinks were soon delivered to their room . To prove there was no poison, the maid, who delivered their drinks, stirred all their drinks with a small spoon, and then scooped out a small amount to have in front of their guests . Ying intently watched them for a few minutes . Once she confirmed the maid was all right, she distributed the drinks .

The four sisters held their drinks and comfortably rested in their chairs as they listened to the crackling flame from the fireplace . Ever since they left home, the four sisters hadn’t enjoyed the comfort of a room . With their sweet drinks in their hands, the comfort of the chair and the warmth of the fireplace, the four sisters were finally able to relax .

Vera, who peered out the window the entire time, remarked, “Oh, it’s raining outside . ”

Vera’ three sisters excitedly ran to the window as if the rain in this place was somehow different to the rain at home . That was when the four emotionally sighed whilst gazing out the window, the lights down below and the flowers that shook .

From the door, someone suddenly stated, “It is impossible to know when it will rain . Therefore, it will be wet and cold . ”

Ying and Tanya froze when they saw the dignified lady . They then bowed: “You must be Miss Vera, correct? It is a great honour to meet you . We are the King of the North’s envoys, Ying and Tanya . These girls are King Troy’s daughters . They have come here for a holiday . ”

“Welcome and welcome Princesses . Galaluocia is a perfect place for a holiday . The ancient ruins, beautiful scenery and beach are fantastic tourist attractions . Oh, pardon me . I almost forgot to introduce myself . I am Vera Galaluocia . I will soon be the Queen of Galaluocia . I hope you can attend this time’s coronation ceremony . ”

The four sisters oddly felt close to Vera . Vera appeared gentle, but she also exuded the confidence and pride of a Queen . Princess Vera noticed Miss Vera was also dressed in an emerald green dress . Those traits, her appearance and her emerald dress reminded her of her Grandma Vyvyan .

Ying nodded . In a tone void of emotion, she responded, “We will be there . Thank you very much for your invitation . Although the Princesses are here for a holiday, we have come here with a mission from King Troy . ”

“I understand . To be honest, I was in despair upon hearing my s.h.i.+p sunk . I never thought he would show such strong resolve and determination to successfully find you . It was an incredibly perilous journey . Lots of those with power around me are eyeing me, which is why I need King Troy’s support . I never thought he would send two envoys . I am grateful to King Troy . ”

“Two? Oh…”

When she heard ‘two’ Ying dawdled for a moment, but she glanced over to Tanya and realised that Vera must’ve meant her and Tanya as two separate envoys . Thus, she didn’t inquire any further .

The youngster then appeared behind Miss Vera . He had changed into the uniform of a guard . He wore a long robe with a white emblem embroidery on his chest . Perhaps that was the logo for a guard unit . The youngster gave the girls a cheerful and proud smile . His att.i.tude was similar to a primary school child flaunting his toys at home .

“Let us discuss the details tomorrow . Things are undoubtedly urgent here, but we have prepared dinner . You have come to help me and are our friend’s guest, so please accept this kind gesture of mine . Your rooms and hot water has been prepared . My bathroom is also available for you to use . My palace is not as stately as King Troy’s . But nonetheless, I hope I can provide you with the same comfort you feel at home . Should you have any requests or needs, please let me know . I will be sure to address it . ”

“Thank you very much . We will gratefully accept your offer . ”

“Great . You must be tired from your long journey, so please join me . We have our most outstanding chef with us here . A sumptuous meal awaits you . ”
