I like traveling the most

Later, Clem led Lin to the most frequently visited room in the palace and knocked on the door.

In the past, he would turn the doorknob and enter directly, but that lack of common sense was requested by Her Royal Highness the Princess. Now that there was a guest - Lin's visit, he naturally had to enter in a formal manner.

After knocking on the door, Clem waited respectfully.

A few seconds later -

"Come in."

A familiar voice came from inside the door.

Clem turned the doorknob only after getting permission.

Although the process was extremely cumbersome, this was the royal family, and procedures and etiquette were necessary.

Walking into the room, what came into view was a spacious and grand room with simple decorations. Her Royal Highness on the balcony was holding her lips with a gentle smile, and her long golden hair was shining in the breeze and sunlight.

Just like before Lin left, it was unchanged like this royal capital, still so elegant and pure.

But this time, everyone would probably applaud. If Her Royal Highness the Golden Princess, who cares about the people, changes, who will speak for them?

However, if you really underestimate her, you will suffer a great loss.

The princess in the boudoir, relying on her wisdom alone, can make the nobles outside go around in circles, just like a puppet following the thread and moving according to her ideas. This alone is enough to be called a monster.

Princess Lana is definitely not as simple as she seems.

"Welcome, Lord Lin."

"Sorry to bother you, Princess."

A simple but necessary greeting, the two serious people laughed at the same time after saying social words.

"Don't be so polite, Lord Lin."

"Thank you very much."

Lin smiled and sat at the round table on the balcony under the leadership of Lana.

Of course, Clem was there too.

Because there were no outsiders, under the strong request of the princess, they had to sit down and be a quiet listener.

"Come, please try it."

"Oh? This is..."

The teacup Lana handed over did not contain dark red tea, but white liquid, with a strong aroma of milk and black tea.

"Is it milk tea?"

"Yes. According to Lord Lin's recipe last time, I specially adjusted it. Please taste it."

Can you mix a new drink with just a few words?

Even if she hasn't tasted it yet, Lin knows that it will definitely taste good. After all, the royal family's reserve does not allow her to present unpalatable drinks to guests.

Take a sip and your eyes light up.

"Delicious!"

The words of praise also came out of her mouth.

The entrance is mellow milk fragrance, which is more fragrant after adding a little white sugar. The light black tea flavor flows into the brain along the nasal cavity, showing its presence but not standing out. There are no extra materials, but the perfect ratio of the two makes people feel endless aftertaste.

Hearing Lin's praise, Princess Lana's face showed a rich and appropriate smile like this cup of milk tea.

"I'm so glad to satisfy you."

"Ah, I didn't expect that in just one month, Her Highness Lana could make such delicious milk tea. Maybe you are very talented in this area."

"Milk tea... is it the name of this drink?"

"Yes. Because it is mixed with milk, so it is named this."

"It's a very appropriate name."

Lana nodded in agreement, then lowered her eyebrows with a little regret, and said: "It's just that the things needed to make this drink are very expensive, and it seems that ordinary people can't enjoy it."

Whether it is milk tea or black tea, even if it is not high-end, it costs a lot of money to buy it. After all, the productivity in the Middle Ages can't keep up.

"...hiss."

Lin suppressed his discomfort and comforted: "In fact, I still know a lot of drink recipes, and there are many cheap and delicious ones. I will sort them out as soon as I go back."

"Really? Thank you, Lord Lin."

Lana clasped her hands together, moved.

Clem was also very moved. He thought about the common people all the time. Is there anyone better than Her Royal Highness the Princess?

No, there is not!

Recalling the second prince who had hurt Lana with words just now, Clem became angry again.

After the headache eased a lot, Lin Fang raised the teacup in his hand and said, "Okay, let's get back to the topic. Her Royal Highness called me here, it can't be to taste milk tea, right? Is there something?"

"Yes, something."

"What is it?"

"I want to complain to you. Don't you think you are too much! You abandoned me just after the marriage, and it lasted for a month! It's too much! It makes people condemn it!"

Rana startled Lin as soon as she opened her mouth, so that the milk tea poured into her mouth sprayed out.

"Puff——! Cough, cough, cough!"

"Wow! Lord Lin, are you okay?"

"Lord Lin, please use a handkerchief!"

Seeing his loss of composure, the master and the servant also panicked, patting his back and wiping the sprayed milk tea.

Whose fault do you think it is?

Looking at the innocent-looking princess, Lin rolled his eyes in annoyance.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you playing with me? Do you really think I will lose my composure because of this ambiguous statement? ... No, it seems that I did lose my composure just now.

Lin wiped the corners of his mouth and tidied his appearance.

"Excuse me. Princess Lana, please be careful with your words. We are just partners. What if others hear us?"

"Then let's get married."

"...Please be careful what you say. You think you are unhappy because I put the trouble on you, so you are teasing me on purpose."

"Unfortunately, it was discovered."

Lana sticks out her tongue very cutely.

Lin and Lana did not take it seriously, but Clem, thinking of what the second prince said just now, his mouth moved slightly and he didn't know what expression to make.

"Besides, I hurried back as soon as you sent the message. It's already good."

"Indeed. It's much better than a husband whose wife is ignored and never comes back no matter how summoned she is."

"Are you still going to play?"

"hehe."

Her Royal Highness the Princess smiled very innocently.

But Lin, who knew her true nature, would not be fooled at all, and he also felt that there was definitely a little devil living in this woman's heart.

Princess Lana is such a person who uses her harmless appearance to hide her true heart.

The two then talked for a while.

Most of them are about what the nobles have done recently, what bills have been proposed to avoid making the nobles suspicious, what changes have occurred in the royal capital, what the Axis Cult has done behind the scenes, etc.

In fact, these do not need to be reported to him one by one. Lin has opened the Axis Cult to Lana, and her status is equal to his own. This is necessary in order to become a Theocracy.

"Master Lin, please tell me about your own experience."

"My experience? Although it is very exciting, you should all know it. It is transmitted through Yue's information."

"Yes. But receiving information is different from telling it personally from the person involved, although it would be better to personally participate in it."

Lana looked a little depressed.

She is so intelligent that she can even control the nobles outside while sitting here, but she is still a princess imprisoned in the palace and cannot go outside to see the more colorful and vast world.

"So, can you trouble Mr. Lin?"

"...I really can't do anything about you."

In this way, at the request of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lin recounted the experience of this month.

Pretending to be a new adventurer, joining the team, meeting the Dark Hero, solving Zhilanon's cadres, defeating Clementine and getting the secret treasure, and witnessing Momo's fight against vampires and becoming a hero, until Lin finished drinking milk tea this month I just finished talking about my experience.

“Great experience.”

Lana praised sincerely.

really. Even if Lin didn't exaggerate in any way, such an experience would be enough for anyone to brag about.

Not to mention, Lin and Momo Gaga were killing each other randomly, and they were not Gaga's people.

"Is that dark hero really that strong? That's great! I don't know how he defeated that vampire. I really want to witness it with my own eyes! Oh, what a pity!"

Climb was beyond excited.

Unlike when he was silent in the restaurant, his mood was quite high now.

Lin also understands that when he encounters the things he likes and the areas he is good at, he will always talk about it. So it was very interesting for him to have Climb talk so rarely.

Her Royal Highness the Princess values ​​another point.

"That hero is so powerful, then..."

"It's a pity. I didn't recruit it."

Lin shook his head.

After the royal family and nobles were divided up by the eldest prince and the second prince, they could only focus on civilians and adventurers, and there were also powerful figures among the adventurers, such as the dark hero Momo.

But Lin didn't say that the other party heard that he was rejected by the Axis Cult. After all, this kind of thing is really embarrassing.

"Yeah."

Lana was also slightly melancholy.

Seeing Her Royal Highness like this, Climb wanted to help her. However, he had neither talent nor strength, so he couldn't help at all, so he could only feel sad in secret.

"There's no rush for adventurers. The most urgent thing is to get our brother to our side first."

"Master Lin is talking about Marquis Lei Buen?"

"That's right. If my brother, the largest noble in the kingdom, joins, I think some of the lesser nobles below will be shaken and join us."

The kingdom is controlled by six nobles.

And Marquis Rebuen is the largest noble, and many minor nobles want to look at his face. This is the main reason why his brother, in addition to his superb social skills, can be ridiculed as a "bat" for being able to eat at both ends.

"But Lord Rebuen and Brother Zanak..."

"It doesn't matter, I will convince him."

Seeing that Her Highness the Princess was worried, Lin Wushui waved his hand and said: "The royal family and the nobility, my brother is already eating from both sides, so it's okay to invest in Her Highness the Princess as a slave with a third surname... Hiss, it hurts." ”

It stings the brain like a pinprick.

This is already the second time today. I didn't expect that being with Lana would cause brain tingling, so I was a little surprised.

"Anyway, I will convince my brother."

"Yes, please leave it to Mr. Lin."

Lana couldn't help in this regard, so she had to leave the task to Lin.

"Speaking of which, we met the second prince on the way here."

"Yeah."

Lana was not surprised at all when she heard what Lin said. This palace is for the royal family, so the encounter is understandable.

But Climb couldn't sit still.

"Master Lin...!"

He had not forgotten what the second prince said about his sister being a monster. However, the simple guard did not realize that being so nervous would only make the smart princess realize what was happening.

"It's my brother who said bad things about me."

"Your Highness Lana..."

"Let me guess. They should say I'm a monster. There's been a rumor going around the capital lately, but I don't know if it was spread by someone else or my brother."

"…………"

Clem pursed his lips.

Seeing the indifferent princess, he felt even more distressed for the guards who he thought were in disguise.

Lin didn't care either. Rumors of this magnitude were nothing to be afraid of, and they were not a big deal to the thick-skinned two. On the other hand, Clem was too unstable, and his panicked look could easily give people a handle, so he had to be reminded later.

"What do you think, Lord Lin?"

"What?"

"Monster. You might be working with monsters, aren't you afraid?"

"...If monsters are as cute as the princess, maybe I can do it."

Lara didn't understand what "really can do" meant, but she knew that Lin didn't reject her mind, and that it wasn't that other people flattered her on the surface but were ugly in secret, but that he really treated her as a normal person.

"Why?"

"The reason is simple, just different standpoints."

"Standpoints?"

"For example, my brother is a politically adept bat in the eyes of the nobles and the royal family, but in the eyes of me and my family, he is a good brother, a good husband and a good father; for example, the kingdom warrior captain Gazef is a good helper in the eyes of the king, but in the eyes of the nobles and neighboring countries, he is a thorn in the eye, and another example..."

He cited many examples, basically the same as Marquis Rebuen and Gazef, who are hated by the enemy, but reliable companions in the eyes of relatives and friends.

"Your Highness, the same is true for you."

Lin slowly said: "In the eyes of the princes and nobles, you are a monster who can play them around in the palace, but in the eyes of the common people, you are a golden princess who cares about them, so there is no need to think so complicated, just be yourself."

"Be yourself... What you said is really profound, but it won't work! After saying so much, you didn't elaborate on your point of view, right?"

"Uh..."

Lin was choked by Lana and was speechless.

That's right. I didn't seem to express my thoughts about her in my long speech.

"I think it's probably the goddess."

"Goddess...?"

Lana obviously didn't expect Lin to say that, and her pretended gentle smile almost collapsed.

"Why do you say goddess?"

"Because Her Highness is very smart. Sometimes, even though I learned things from the goddess, Her Highness can understand them by herself, and sometimes she can see further than the goddess. If this is not a goddess, what is it? Sometimes I wonder: Ah, could Her Highness Lana be a goddess incarnate... or something like that?"

"Why do you use interrogative sentences?"

"Because it's very tangled. If I admit that Her Highness Lana is a goddess, what should I do with the goddess I believe in?"

Lin sighed and shook his head, as if he really questioned his beliefs.

"Haha. Too exaggerated, Lord Lin."

Lana laughed.

Very sincere.

For some reason, seeing her smile, Lin felt that she was different now, but he couldn't tell where the difference was.

Clem also felt something, but he agreed more with what Lin said about the goddess. The princess who was distracted and worked hard for the common people must be the goddess who came down to earth!

"Okay, let's stop here today. Lord Lin, please persuade Marquis Leibun as soon as possible."

"Is that all? Princess, are you shy?"

"... Please leave as soon as possible, otherwise my brother will be here soon."

Although Lana was still smiling, her smile was a little superficial, and the change was not big, but Lin still noticed it.

Only Clem didn't notice it at all. He followed the princess's order and led Lin to the room immediately, intercepting his intention to continue talking.

No wonder the second prince said he was stupid, in fact, he was not wrong.

Just like that, the two of them went to the princess's boudoir immediately.

The door closed gently.

Lana's still smiling mouth corners couldn't stop rising.

"Oh, I almost didn't keep it."

He quickly pressed the corners of his mouth.

"But he called me goddess... How interesting!"

In the room without outsiders, the expression of the princess reflected in the mirror gradually collapsed.
