Chapter 573 Richard is Coming

Elizabeth didn't know that her father, Richard, was coming here. At this time, she had already become one with Oshilina. It was strange to say that the Iulian dynasty of the Roman Empire had always had more males. There were only three girls in the same generation, but during the reign of Emperor Derrickian, there was only one girl, Oshilina, which also made her the apple of the eye of the whole family.

Originally, she should have had an aunt who was about the same age, but her aunt died of a severe lung disease when she was three years old, and this became the eternal pain of Emperor Derrickian.

And from what Oshilina said, her aunt looks somewhat similar to Elizabeth. I am afraid that it is for this reason that the old emperor is so enthusiastic about her. Although Elizabeth is a little speechless about this explanation, she still chooses to accept it. Otherwise, apart from this, There is no other possibility.

It is precisely because there is only one girl in this vein, Oshilina. Compared with members of the royal family of her generation, she is subject to the most control and has the fewest friends. There are only one or two girls of the same age who can talk, and these two A girl of the same age is the most well-behaved noble girl selected by the old emperor himself. Apart from chatting with her, she doesn't even think about playing other things.

Now that Elizabeth appeared, Oshilina suddenly felt that her life was brighter. Although Elizabeth had the same well-behaved personality, she still loved to play like her in her bones. She was more reserved at the beginning, but when she got to know each other later, she stuck together and ran together every day. Running around, the servants who followed them complained.But after the old emperor found out about this incident, instead of being unhappy, he exempted Oshilina from a period of courses, allowing her to accompany Elizabeth with peace of mind.

Oshilina was envious of the old emperor's different treatment, but she also knew who the biggest contributor to her liberation was, so she gave her best things to Elizabeth, and treated her as her best friend (if this If there is a word for girlfriend in the world).Elizabeth did not refuse either, and in fact, Oxilina was also her first good friend, because in the Palace of Ippolito, she only had her parents and elder brother in her world, and rarely communicated with her peers.

……

On the other hand, after the interrogation with William Walker, Emperor Derrickian probably sorted out his thoughts. He also agreed with William's statement in his heart, because the Holy Roman Empire really had no reason or motivation to attack Hariand, but except Outside of the Holy Roman Empire, there is no other force that has the opportunity to attack. That is the stronghold of Amatlia, which is heavily guarded.

Seeing how Derrick was thinking first, Prince Licini who stood aside considered for a moment, and said, "Father, although I don't think the Holy Roman Empire is the murderer who poisoned, all the evidence now points to them , we should do something.”

"Li Xini, let you tell me what we should do." Hearing this, Emperor Derrick looked at his successor and asked, "The Holy Roman Empire is separated from us by an ocean, and it takes about the same amount of money every time we go back and forth." One year, sending troops to ask for an explanation? The gain outweighs the loss."

"That's not what I meant." Li Xini was a little dumbfounded, and he explained: "Maybe we can send envoys to negotiate with the Holy Roman Empire and ask them for an explanation—if you want to find out the truth, we can also send someone Joint investigation with them."

"Father, I know you like Elizabeth, but she is a princess of the Holy Roman Empire after all. It is impossible to stay in Rome forever. We will have contact with each other sooner or later." He continued.

"..."

Emperor Derrick was silent for a while. He looked at Li Xini, sighed, and changed the subject: "When I see Elizabeth, I always think of Domitia. If Domitia hadn't left, there should be 14 I'm old."

"Yes, father." Li Xini knew that he was not willing to let Elizabeth go, so he did not dismantle Emperor Erikxian, and responded according to his words.

Seeing Li Xini's expression, the old emperor chuckled and said, "I know what you're thinking, it's better to postpone the negotiations with the Holy Roman Empire, and maybe their envoys are on their way, we Just wait quietly."

"It's all up to you." Li Xini bent down and said.

The old emperor nodded, and then tried to stand up with his hands on the table. Seeing this, Li Xini hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and asked, "Father, where are you going?"

"Go and see them." The old emperor said with a smile.

"Then you might have to miss out." Li Xini smiled, "Oshilina took Elizabeth to the manor on the outskirts of Rome just an hour ago."

"Then I'll go to your manor together, Li Xini, do you have any objections?"

"Of course not." Li Xini shook his head. While helping his father to go out, he said, "You haven't been there for a long time. If you knew you were going, Faria and Marcus would definitely Will be very happy."

Hearing this, the old emperor pretended to be reproachful and said, "You didn't bring Faria and Marcus here, do you not want me to see my grandson and daughter-in-law?"

"Of course not." Li Xini quickly explained: "Without your will, I wouldn't dare to bring them here."

"Then you will often bring them here in the future." The old emperor said cheerfully, but his tone gave people an unquestionable feeling.

"Follow the order, follow the order."

……

Just as Emperor Derrickian expected, almost half a year later, that is, on August 1130, 8 in the continental calendar, Richard and his fleet arrived in the territorial waters of the Roman Empire, and soon contacted the patrolling Roman navy, and they expressed their intentions Finally, the Roman navy, which had been ordered by the emperor in advance, politely escorted them into the port of Capua, and Richard and his guards were escorted to Rome by a special person.

Before Richard arrived in Rome, Emperor Derrick knew about his arrival first, but he wanted to surprise Elizabeth, so he didn't tell her.Elizabeth already lived in the manor of Li Xini's family with Oshilina, and her relationship with the prince's family was handled well, and she also subconsciously treated the old emperor as a grandfather.

More than a month later, when Richard arrived in the outskirts of Rome, Emperor Derrick had prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him. Almost all the residents of the city gathered at the city gate, stretching their necks to meet this man from another city. The emperor of a continental empire, and Richard was also amazed by the prosperity of the city of Rome. Although he had never seen the city of Rome in history, but now it seems that it should look like this.

In the Julia Palace, Richard finally saw Elizabeth, who he had been thinking about day and night. What made him feel relieved was that the Romans did not abuse her. Chad didn't even recognize her the first time he saw her.
