Louis’s skill advancement is simple, but the people of Lokeshi have more issues to consider.

For example, some of them are now looking at the house being flooded by an energy surge.

"Are you going to knock on the door?"

"How about you go, I’m not good at diplomacy."

"His Highness Louis is quite easy to talk to, trust me."

"Being easy to talk to is one thing, I don’t want to be the one remembered."

Kane’s face was difficult to maintain.

It’s really unspeakable working with this group of bugs.

Forget it, he’ll go himself!

So he sent a message through the air.

"Your Highness Louis, is something wrong?"

There wasn’t any killing intent.

One could even say it was the most benign inquiry.

The Dragon Emperor couldn’t possibly have bad intentions.

He was just offering a friendly greeting to his ally.

Of course, Louis couldn’t possibly let him in.

Not only did he not let him in, but he also resealed the entire building with a semi-plane.

After all, if people saw that there were two Second Princesses of Ense, it would be hard to explain many things.

And in the middle of the night, the Second Princess was staying in the room of the Prince of the Empire...

Tch.

Rumors would surely spread all over the place by then.

However, Louis suspected that given the current situation of the Lokeshi Empire, they might cut ties to protect themselves at the first sign of rumors.

Considering everyone looked at him with a bit of bewilderment.

This made him a bit uncomfortable.

Seriously, aren’t you all big shots outside? What’s with this attitude?

He was quite embarrassed.

After all, causing this incident amidst such busyness was indeed underestimating the power of Endless Ocean.

"It’s nothing, I just accidentally made a little breakthrough, couldn’t control it."

"A little breakthrough..."

Kane instinctively looked up at the sky.

The frantically gathering energy always gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Quite a terrifying feeling, akin to when the dark side of the Love God ascended, and the power of the Divine Realm masters gathered over the Imperial Capital.

You call this a "little breakthrough"?

The patriarchs of several families maintained their composure, pretending not to see Kane’s subtle expression.

Young Kane was still too naive.

Didn’t see that the guy was boasting in Versailles style.

At this time, it’s best to tacitly play the cheerleader.

But in their hearts, they still breathed a sigh of relief.

Very well, extremely well. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

As long as he wasn’t seeking a fight, it was good.

If Louis knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say he indeed wanted a fight.

Just the opponent wasn’t them, it was his own sister.

When things calmed down and he returned to the room, Louis said to Olivia and Ais:

"Prepare to return to Ense. We don’t need to handle things here anymore."

The two women nodded.

A moment later, Ais reacted, saying, puzzled:

"Huh? Me?"

"Aren’t you going back?"

"Why should I go back?"

"That’s your home."

"But I have other things to do outside."

"Beatrice is pregnant, now she is receiving the Legacy of the Eye of Truth and handling affairs. Are you sure you don’t want to go see her?"

"Is she crazy?"

"Ense has been short on manpower these years. Besides time spent sleeping while receiving the legacy, she spends the majority of her waking hours handling imperial affairs. In the past, did you see her let Olivia out? Now, it’s only because there’s truly no one else that she allows her to come out and help."

Ais fell silent.

No one knew better than her the heavy price Beatrice had paid over the years just to barely maintain the empire’s operation.

In the past, the Ense Royal Family would have had enough offspring.

But by Beatrice’s generation, there wasn’t even anyone to lend a hand.

In earlier years, when Olivia went through a naively excessive phase, Ais had trouble feeling assured about her.

So some things Olivia would have handled herself were also managed by Ais.

"Moreover... I think there are quite a few people in the empire hoping for your return."

Louis looked toward a dark corner, speaking softly:

"Right, Sister Lumi?"

From the shadows, Lumi’s figure slowly emerged.

She glanced at Ais, showing no sign of surprise.

"When did you find out?"

Lumi smiled gracefully, not revealing any emotion.

Louis touched his chin, smiling amiably:

"Olivia was too young back then."

If anyone knew Olivia best, it had to be this lady who always hid in the shadows, silently protecting the maid-in-chief.

The little swan was the treasure left by her dear friend for her.

One could say, to the little swan, Lumi was like half a mother.

Especially when the little swan was younger, Lumi’s protection was even more intense.

She probably witnessed firsthand the awakening of the great sin of Sloth.

If the little swan wanted to let out a split self and leave the Imperial Palace, there was no way it wouldn’t catch Lumi’s attention.

It was just that the little swan never took this matter to heart from the start.

After all, if Lumi didn’t stop her, it meant she didn’t do anything wrong.

Once you understand this point, many doubts are resolved.

Lumi showed little expression, merely watching Louis and saying quietly:

"I did want to find an opportunity to get rid of you, considering some of the immature things you’ve done."

Louis coughed, understanding that Lumi was referring to him eating both Olivia and Ais while Beatrice was present.

But it was already done.

He accepted the mistake.

Lumi sighed, then turned to Ais and said:

"Go back, you don’t want her to suffer, do you?"
