Vol 2 Chapter 685: Crystal courtyard

On the way to the emperor's palace, Heliga kept thinking about what Olibat had just said.
The abnormal movement of "IBC" is really weird. What exactly is Dita Kullois thinking? First, an abnormally large amount of funds was used to start the construction of the underground part that has not been considered as part of the city planning of Closberg. At the same time, the specific project of the project was hidden from others. This is for the two. The act of committing large-country assets is even more standard suicidal behavior. Once this happens, if the etiquette of the two major powers is actually lost, it is almost inevitable to send troops immediately-even if it were not for the destruction of the train artillery, the empire would probably choose to bomb Belgard. Doors and other military powerhouses, and dispatched elite mecha divisions.
What is Dita doing? What does he want to do? Does this have anything to do with "association"? Is it possible that he wants to transform the places that no one cares about underground into a solid offensive, trying to drag the empire and the Republic into the underground for a protracted war? But what is the point of this? Winning Clos Bell is nothing more than the difference between three days and half a month for a country whose human, material and financial resources are far stronger than those of the autonomous prefectures. There is no essential difference.
Even with his and Olibate's abilities, I can't see what needs to be noticed behind this... It would be nice if I had been more concerned about this matter.
"Heliga." Phil pulled Heliga's sleeve and reminded softly. It turned out that the two had unknowingly walked to the deepest part of Balfram Palace, where the emperor and the imperial concubine usually were.
"Well... is it here." Looking at the faintly visible inside the gate, the indoor crystal courtyard specially built to cater to the preferences of the emperor who does not like to go out, Heilijia nodded, this should be what Olibate mentioned earlier Place, "There is still some distance from the appointment time to meet the emperor... Do you want to wait here? Or should I go in and see?"
"Mr. Guards over there shouldn't agree." Fei pointed to the direction of the crystal courtyard. Since just now, the soldiers standing guard nearby have seen Fei and Heliga from a distance, staring at them without moving. people.
"Probably..." Heliga shrugged, "Forget it, wait here and wait here."
"Ah, you are..." A sweet voice sounded-turning her head to see, she was a gentle and beautiful lady whose hair was decorated with luxurious hairpins and she was wearing the most advanced dress. At the same time, Heliga also discovered that she and Princess Alfin looked somewhat similar-the identity of the person who came may be conceivable.
However, to be on the safe side, Helika still asked softly, "Excuse me, you are..."
"Haha...I am Priscilla, the wife of His Majesty the Emperor, and the mother of Alphan and Cedric." The woman also replied, "Olibate mentioned you two to me and Ukent before... …It is also fate to meet here."
"His Royal Highness." Heliga bowed slightly-sure enough, she was the mother of Alphan and Cedric, the princess of the Erebonian Empire-just don't know why she appeared here.
"..." Fei stood there blankly, as if she didn't know what to do with such a distinguished person. Regarding this, Princess Priscilla smiled generously and didn't take it seriously: "Did the two come to your Majesty the Emperor after hearing what Olibate said?"
"Yeah... But your Majesty seems to be still working on the previous plan. We seem to have arrived a bit early. So we stayed here and waited." Heliga nodded, "I didn't expect to meet you."
"I heard you just now, it seems that this young lady wants to see this crystal courtyard?" Princess Priscilla said. After receiving the affirmative answer from Fei, she said: "It happens to be about Alfin and Cedric before. I also want to thank you in person for the matter. If I remember correctly, you and the other Tolz Sergeant Academy students protected both of them from the chaos of the Summer Solstice Festival, right?"
"Well, then it's better to be respectful." Looking at Princess Priscilla's eager eyes, Heliga felt that this should not be a polite remark she said casually, but really wanted to thank herself personally. It's not rude to take advantage of the situation to talk at this time.
"Come here." Princess Priscilla smiled, "This crystal courtyard... was originally built to meet the emperor's needs and was recently completed. In addition to being used as a place for daily walks, it can also host some royal families and The activities of the great nobles..."
"Really... When I took Libel's "White Wing" back to the imperial capital with His Royal Highness Oribat, I had never seen it here. "Heliga asked curiously.
"Because at that time, this place has not been put into use." The princess nodded, "To be precise, the various flowers and plants over there have not been transported... If it is just a bare corridor without the ornamentation of plants and flowers, I am afraid The guests will find it boring too."
"That's not true. Although these rare flowers are even more beautiful... But even if it is the look you said, I think it will be very beautiful here." Heliga took a serious look at the entire courtyard. The layout is very layered, and the entire courtyard uses high-grade materials, at least not to make people feel ugly.
"Well... I think so too. Just sitting here and listening to the sound of running water will make you feel calmer." Fei also nodded.
"I can speak." The imperial concubine said with a smile, "If you let him hear it, he should be very happy...After all, this courtyard was designed by himself."
"Your Majesty himself?" Heliga asked in surprise, unexpectedly that the emperor had this skill.
"Yes. Since he entrusted the affairs of the country to the prime minister, he has been behind the scenes... it has always been like this." The princess had a subtle expression, "the tulip here is from the courtyard of Alfin last year. They were planted personally when they were completed. Although they are usually taken care of by the servants in the palace, Alfin will personally take care of these flowers whenever he has the opportunity."
"Summer... If I remember correctly, the opening hours of tulips should be in late spring and early summer... But the flowers in this garden are still in full bloom at the end of summer." Heliga looked and said. It was the flower planted by Princess Alfin herself, fiddled with it gently, and asked curiously.
"I don't know the reason... Maybe it's because the variety of the flower itself is very good, maybe because the gardener took good care of it." Princess Priscilla was also slightly confused, "But, it seems that you are also an erudite. People."
