I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"By the way, the manor we are going to now...can't be the palace..."

Suddenly a possibility came to mind, and Fu'er couldn't help but ask.

"Royal Palace? How is it possible? Not to mention that the previous palace of the British royal family had long been destroyed in the war. Even the most recent and best-preserved one, for us with only a dozen or so royal members left, there is no trace of it. Meaning. Taking care of it requires a huge manpower to maintain it. Do we have to hire thousands of maids and hundreds of housekeepers just for a few people? This is not the feudal era anymore."

"Ah? Is that so? Now the palace..."

"Let it be rented out as a special attraction! After all, it is the product of craftsmen at that time. Although it is not very comfortable to live in, the building is still very gorgeous! And there are quite a lot of tourists, and the corresponding income is enough to arrange enough manpower. Wouldn’t it be better to maintain the environment?”

Leo explained with a smile.

"If you are interested, I can take you shopping in two days. We can go after the museum closes, so you don't have to queue!"

"I'm not telling you, please feel like a royal..."

Elena held her forehead helplessly.

"Oh yes, it seems I don't have to queue up even if the store is open."

"That's not what I'm talking about! Isn't your self-consciousness a little strange?"

Although Elena has long been accustomed to the usual style of the [Prince] next to her after many years of getting along.

But what should be unbearable is still unbearable.

But what can be done? After changing his personality, he was no longer the His Highness Leo she knew.

I can only sigh.

Passing through a small town and climbing up the hillside, there is the manor where Leonardo lives daily.

Although it is not as good as the castle palace, in Fuer's knowledge, it is still quite a big house. There is at least a football field-sized front yard, and each floor seems to be as large as three of your own homes. It is actually a bit similar to Hartz's old house, but it is more well-maintained. Clean, bright and spacious.

What's more, the backyard is not much smaller than the front yard, and even contains a large artificial lake. Including the large forest behind the artificial lake is also within the scope of the manor.

Although according to the other party's description, the towns he just passed by by car actually belong to his territory, but it is only in name.

After entering the manor, following the butler's guidance, we came to the sun room in the east building on the first floor of the house and took our seats one by one.

Even very considerately, a raised chair was prepared for the slate man.

However, there was another empty chair prepared next to him, and he didn't know who it was for.

"Mr. Fu, would you like to drink coffee or black tea?"

"Just black tea, thank you."

"What about Mr. Slate Man?"

"Uh..., I actually don't have the ability to eat."

"I'm sorry, please wait a moment, Mr. Fuer. What about His Highness and Miss Elena?"

"black tea."

"me too."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After serving black tea and some snacks to the three of them, the butler left and closed the door thoughtfully.

"Come on, Ful, try it. I'm very confident in my Stewart's black tea."

"Ah."

He took a sip of the steaming black tea. The taste was very mellow, and the aftertaste was sweet. Although Fu'er didn't know how to taste tea, among all the black teas he had drunk, this must be the top level.

Although it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere at this time, the climate here in the UK is still quite livable. Sunlight shines through the glass into the room, reflecting the heat rising from the tea cup. The two people in front of them were also smiling, tasting the black tea in their hands.

"How about it, it's pretty good."

"Although I haven't drank much black tea, this cup of black tea is indeed very delicious."

Fu'er praised very sincerely.

"This is the best black tea I have ever had in my life."

"That's good. Every time Elena and I come back here, we have to drink a few cups of black tea made by Stuart. By the way, Elena, didn't I remember that you had any questions to ask Ful? "

As if he remembered something, Leo turned to look at Elena and asked.

"…………"

The other party was silent for a moment, and then sighed.

"Your Highness Leo, not everyone is like you and can casually ask some important questions about each other's privacy...so can you please have a good cup of tea for a while?"

"Huh? Did I say the wrong thing?"

"……………………"

Miss Witch didn't reply, but just looked at the companion she had been with since childhood, quietly, as always.

Leo scratched his head, but under the other party's calm eyes, he still shrank back and stopped making any sound.

There was silence for a while, and finally Fu Er couldn't help but asked.

"Privacy issues? What do Miss Elena want to ask me?"

To be honest, it was just the first time that he and the other party met, and Fu'er didn't understand what kind of privacy-related questions he would be asked.

"Hey... First of all, let me declare, Mr. Fu'er, if you don't want to answer the questions I'm going to ask below, you can not answer them at all. You have this right. After all, this is not an interrogation room, and I am just doing it for personal reasons. I just raised this question."

"And if you don't want to answer, just tell me without any burden on your heart."

Elena stretched out her hand, and a wooden staff appeared. She tapped the ground lightly. In an instant, the shrubs outside the window and the indoor landscape plants all grew, bypassing all the ornaments and letting out the entire sunlight. The room was wrapped.

Along with a strange fluctuation, Fu'er felt that the surrounding environment had changed.

There is an illusion of being isolated from the world.

"Border?...No, it's different from me..."

The slate man frowned and looked doubtfully at Elena who was using her ability.

"This is?"

Fu'er looked around and asked the other party doubtfully.

"It's okay, a little magic. Now the world here has been separated from the outside world and belongs to the realm that cannot be observed. This is the derivation technology of [Observatory] based on the observation ability of [Eye of Atum]. How does it work? , it’s just an upgraded version of sound insulation. It’s just that some questions, out of necessity, need to be asked in such an environment. Now, can I ask questions?”

Fu'er nodded subconsciously.

Putting away her wand, Elena took a deep breath. She seemed to have made up her mind. Her green eyes, which had always looked as calm as lake water, seemed to have a slight fluctuation. She stared at the young man in front of her and asked. .

"Is she here?"
