I Think Our Teammate Leige Is Stronger Than Regent Lance, No. 21

So you're already thinking of betraying him and switching sides to Lucia? You've become a powerful expert in your domain, and instead of pushing him onto the throne of the Kloss Kingdom, you're thinking of betraying him. What about all those years of friendship?

Mills mentally grumbled a few words about Lambert, Owen, Nolan, and the others, then his gaze fell on Dragon Knight Hella behind Lucia. Dragon Knight Hella was wearing a white Swallow-tailed Coat, holding a wine glass, and her eyes held a smile that contained a lot of information.

Seeing the meaningful smile in Dragon Knight Hella's eyes, Mills suddenly understood the feelings of Lambert, Owen, Nolan, and the others.

The expression on Dragon Knight Hella's face was incredibly hateful.

He's showing off.

His expression, his eyes, and even his every move revealed this thought.

"This guy was unwilling to become Lucia's follower before; becoming Lucia's follower was like an insult to him. But tonight, he not only frankly accepted the identity of Lucia's follower, but even took pride in it."

Look how smug this guy is.

Beast Tamer Morgan was seething with hatred. A major villain's status and position underwent a dramatic change in a short period of time after becoming Lucia's follower.

Mills, the prince of the Kloss Kingdom, was not even qualified to go to the third floor of Sky City when he came to the Holy Light Empire. However, Hela, the Dragon Knight Hella, became a person who could disregard the vast majority of nobles in the Holy Light Empire because of Lucia.

It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.

Fortunately, Lucia, who became the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire, did not forget them and was willing to publicly acknowledge them as her friends.

Based on this statement alone, Mills and his group would no longer be driven away, whether they were in the capital of the Holy Light Empire or in the Light Imperial City.

Lottie went up to the third-floor balcony and glanced down at the first-floor lobby. "Auntie, are these people your friends?"

"Yes, a friend I met on my way to the Holy Light Empire."

"It's Imperial Daughter Lottie. Your Highness Lottie calls the Little Regent' aunt Your Highness, ' so it seems that he really is the Little Regent."

The countess's daughter, Carmela, panicked. She never expected that a prince from a remote kingdom would know Your Highness Little Regent Little Regent and Your Highness friend.

Her actions just now might bring unnecessary trouble to her family.

"Prince Mills, I... I... I..."

"Miss Carmela, don't panic. Your actions just now did not cause me any real harm. You don't need to apologize to me. On the contrary, I should thank Miss Carmela for letting us know Lucia's true identity and for letting us meet Lucia."

Thank you."

Mills did not choose to retaliate against Carmela. In the Holy Light Empire, it was better not to make enemies of these powerful figures. Peaceful coexistence with the powerful figures in the Holy Light capital would be beneficial to both him and the Kloss Kingdom.

"Prince Mills, when you see His Your Highness the Little Regent and Your Highness Lottie later, could you..."

"Don't worry, it's just a small misunderstanding, and none of us have invitations on us."

"Thank you, thank you." Hearing Mills ' words, Carmela breathed a sigh of relief. If Mills really wanted to take revenge on her, with the power of the Little Regent, her family's life in the capital would definitely not be easy in the future.

According to the daughter of an upper-class nobleman, His Majesty the Emperor has granted the Little Regent the right to be the first in line to the throne.

It is to give, not to bestow.

It is easy to imagine the importance of this Little Regent in His Majesty the Emperor's heart.

Moreover, the Little Regent has many military bigwigs and nobles backing him, so he is not some blank slate who has no background or resources and has only inherited the throne of the Little Regent.

She didn't even dare to say a bad word about the Little Regent behind his back.

Not only him, but even the children of marquises or dukes dared not disrespect this Little Regent.

Many generals, ministers, and nobles who received favors from the Regent are still alive. The first principal of the Imperial Capital Military Academy was Lord Lance.

The saying "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake" applies to His Your Highness the Little Regent.

In the entire capital, no local tyrant dared to provoke the powerful Little Regent.

"Miss Carmela, let's talk another day." Mills pointed to Lucia, who was still waving from the third-floor balcony, smiled politely at Carmela, and, led by a waitress, walked up to the third floor with Lambert, Owen, and the others.

Upon arriving on the third floor, Mills, Lambert, Owen, and the others were taken directly to the young dragon Lucia. After some time, seeing Lucia again, Mills felt that even as the Little Regent, Lucia had not changed much.

She remained the same as before; her personality and temperament did not undergo any dramatic change due to the change in her status.

"Prince Mills of the Kloss Kingdom greets His Your Highness the Little Regent." Mills placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and greeted Lucia.

Julianna, Phyllis, Owen, Lambert, and several others behind him also bowed to Lucia.

"We're friends, no need to be so formal. What brings you to the Holy Light Empire?"

"Having nothing better to do, I came to the Holy Light Empire Holy Light Empire for a visit and to see its prosperity," Mills said with a smile as he stood up.

"What a coincidence." The young dragon Lucia smiled. "Let me introduce you. This lady next to me is Lottie, the second in line to the throne of the Holy Light Empire."

Mills, Julianna, and the others bowed again.

"No need to be polite. Since you are my aunt's friends, you can come to me if you encounter any trouble in the Holy Light Empire."

Little aunt? Mills, Julianna, and the others were dumbfounded. How could Lucia be the little aunt of the Holy Light Empire's Imperial Daughter? The two of them should be close in age.

"Lottie, they'll be too reserved if you stay here. Go to the lobby and play with your friends."

"Auntie's already finding me annoying?" Lottie looked aggrieved. "I've been the one taking care of you these past few days, I..."

I'll send you another bottle of toner tomorrow.

"Hehe, thank you, Auntie. You two chat, I'll go to the lobby to comfort my friend who was just scared."

Lottie walked away with a grin. Her cheap aunt's toner was indeed amazing. After applying it to her face, her skin became soft and smooth in no time.

She couldn't even imagine how smooth and soft her face would become if she used her aunt's toner regularly.

As she watched Lottie leave, Lucia, the young dragon, conceived a feasible escape plan.

Mills, Julianna, Lambert, and Owen have just arrived and are not yet familiar with the capital and the Light Imperial City. Shouldn't she, as their friend, show them around the capital and the Light Imperial City? Then, while Imperial Daughter Rachel and Lottie are not paying attention, she could leave the capital of the Holy Light Empire, find the domain, and cross it to the Morning Star Domain.

Time is running out for her. If she stays in the capital of the Holy Light Empire any longer, all she'll get is Lance.

Dragon Knight Hella, that traitor, might have become Lance's spy. When we run away tomorrow, let's take her dragon with us and leave her in the Holy Light Empire, making her wait for Lance here.

The young dragon glanced at Hela, the Dragon Knight Hella, who was not far away. Despite being her follower, she had already been won over by Lance Lance even seeing him in person—no, I mean, before she even saw him.

In Lance's words, his behavior was called betraying his master for personal gain.

The baby dragon's cheeks puffed out.

Dragon Knight Hella was a little confused when she saw the baby dragon's puffed-out cheeks. Something was wrong; judging from its eyes and expression, it was expressing its dissatisfaction.

Everything was fine just now, so why am I suddenly dissatisfied with him?

It must be the appearance of those unlucky guys like Mills that reminded Lucia of the scene where he tried to kill her in the Your Highness before.

After the banquet, we'll drag those bastards into the territory and beat them up again.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Traitor. Spy."

"???"

No, how did he become a traitor?

What has Your Highness Lucia thought of? "No, Your Highness, Little Regent, the Dragon Knight Hella Hela is obviously unreliable. Why don't you kick him aside and let a few of us serve you?"

Upon hearing the young dragon's mutterings, the Beast Tamer Morgan immediately offered a solution.

Dragon Knight Hella glanced at Beast Tamer Morgan, thinking she'd beat him up after the banquet.

However, he probably understood why the Your Highness called him a double agent and a traitor.

It must have been those words Lord Lance instructed him that made this Your Highness believe he had become that lord's follower.

Even if he had such thoughts, he wouldn't be a traitor.

Lord Lance is the young Your Highness's father and a follower of the young Your Highness. Therefore, obeying Lord Lance's orders is equivalent to obeying the young Your Highness's orders.

traitor?

It does not exist.

"Mills, you've just arrived in the capital, so you probably haven't explored the capital or the Light Imperial City yet. I'll show you around the Light Imperial City tomorrow. Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now."

"Good."

"Then it's settled. Oh, by the way, don't get me wrong, me taking you shopping doesn't mean I like you, don't overthink it."

"."

Mills paused for a moment, then smiled. This Your Highness is really spontaneous, saying whatever comes to mind.

He didn't think Lucia was humiliating him; she simply didn't want him to misunderstand her actions.

"I understand, I understand."

That's good.

Young Dragon smiled. Lance had said that when you don't like someone, you must not give them the illusion that you like them, and you should never casually accept their kindness or gifts.

If you clearly reject someone and they still harass you, just confront them.

"Come on, let me show you the delicacies of Sky City."

The food at Sky City was pretty good, but it still fell a little short compared to the food Lance made.

I'm craving Lance's spicy blood curd.

Before leaving the Holy Light Empire, go to the market to buy some vegetables, meat and other items to store. Wait, why spend money to buy vegetables at the market?

Why not just take some directly from the Regent's Residence? That would save a lot of money.

Apart from the sudden outbreak of the Connor and Hanna demon incident, nothing strange happened at the banquet that Imperial Daughter Rachel arranged for the young dragon.

Under Lottie's guidance, the young dragon got to know many sons of imperial generals and daughters of noble ministers. These children from powerful families treated the young dragon with great respect and did not provoke or mock him.

When they came into contact with the young dragon, they discovered that the Little Regent Your Highness exuded the same Imperial Daughter aura as Your Highness Lottie.

Most of the time, we are enjoying the food and there is no waste. Even if the food we have taken a bite of is not very tasty, we will finish it all.

After finishing her meal, she would scrunch up her little face and say, "Who knows that every grain on the plate is the result of hard work?"

If she didn't finish the food, she would be letting down all the uncles, aunts, older sisters, younger sisters, younger brothers, and older brothers who worked so hard to farm, and she would be letting down herself who had been hoeing, weeding, and sowing. Listening to the young dragon's rambling, even Dragon Knight Hella following behind the young dragon, felt embarrassed to waste food.

As a prince, Mills was used to refusing food he had already tasted. Seeing the young dragon's attitude towards the food, he touched his nose and subconsciously put the unfinished food into his mouth. "Wow, this is too disgusting. I'll take it back to Wyvern Claudia of Hela's family."

Hela: "."

Have you considered my Claudia's feelings? Seeing that the baby dragon also casually put some delicious food into its Space Ring, Hela thought that her Claudia should feel honored to be fed by a [high-ranking dragon].

The banquet ended around 10 p. m.

For the privileged sons of the Light Imperial City, the nightlife is just beginning.

Mills, Nolan, and the others were arranged to stay in a luxury apartment near the Regent's Residence.

Before leaving, he made an appointment with Mills and the others to go shopping the next day, and gave Julianna and Phyllis a gift before returning to the Regent's Residence.

Back at the Regent's Residence, the young dragon gave the food he had packed from Sky City, along with a few pieces of food that didn't taste very good, to the Wyvern Claudia.

She brought back a lot of meat that hadn't been eaten by anyone; some of the grilled meat with cuts was cut off with a knife.

The food that was packed back was clean and hygienic.

After visiting Imperial Daughter Rachel's study Rachel chatting with Imperial Daughter for a while, Young Dragon went to the garden to practice his Life Nurturing Exercise before returning to his room to sleep.

The next day, before leaving the Regent's Residence to find Mills, the young dragon found Imperial Daughter Rachel and told Rachel that he wanted to take his friends to explore either the Light Imperial City or the Imperial Capital.

Rachel agreed, suggesting that the young dragon be provided with several Secret Guards, but the young dragon refused.

Knowing that Hela, a powerful expert in her field, was with her, Rachel stopped insisting. Besides, the capital city was very safe.

Around 10 a. m., Young Dragon, Mills, Julianna, Phyllis, and several others appeared in front of the statue of Regent Lance in Holy Light Square.

"Hey, Evelyn, have you finished reading the Regent's introduction? Do you think this Regent of the Holy Light Empire is stronger? Or is he stronger than our mysterious, lazy, and sometimes-weak-swordsmanship-skilled teammate Leige?"

"They're from different eras, how can you compare them? But I have a vague feeling that Regent Lance might be a tiny bit stronger than Leige."

"Hehe, I think Leige is stronger than this Regent Lance. Our teammate Leige can send Pure-Blooded Dragon flying with one sword, but this Regent Lance can't do that."

Even the regent died of illness; the strong don't die of illness, therefore, it's our teammate Leige's strong.

"Nonsense! Regent Lance could slap your teammate Leige away!"

The young dragon angrily approached the statue of Lance and confronted the boy who said Lance was not Leige.
