Chapter 176
Sylvia's voice came from the Space Window.
"The ranking of 'Poem of Honey Wine' changed this morning."
Sylvia continued.
"Moreover, not only the rankings of 'Poem of Honey Wine' but also those of 'Sixty Thousand Pantheon' have changed."
Both "Poem of Honey Wine" and "Sixty Thousand Pantheon" are non-official ranking websites on the internet, but the number one on both websites is undoubtedly "The Witch of Solitude" Ophelia Rundel.
"So, what exactly happened?"
Sylvia asked Luo Mio.
"Well..." Luo Mio then recounted what had happened the previous night to her.
"Oh, I see..."
Sylvia responded with an "I see" tone, though her voice carried a slight hint of anger.
After all, Gustav's goal was to prevent Amagiri Ayato and the others from Claudia Claudia's team, and as Claudia's best friend, how could she not be furious?
"However..." Sylvia said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "I didn't expect Kong's true strength to be so great. He really hid it well."
Luo Mio could only chuckle a few times.
"Right now, the entire Asterisk forum is buzzing with discussion about who will be the champion of the next 'King Dragon Star Martial Festival.'"
"Originally, everyone thought it would be 'The Witch of Solitude's' third consecutive victory, but now, because of Xiao Kong's appearance—and Xiao Kong will be thirteen years old in two years, also eligible to participate in the 'King Dragon Star Martial Festival' —some comments are now favoring 'The Witch of Solitude,' while others are favoring Xiao Kong."
"What do you think? If Xiao Kong and 'The Witch of Solitude' were to face off, who would have a better chance of winning?"
In response to Sylvia's question, Luo Mio smiled slightly but did not answer.
Good morning, everyone.
At that moment, Kato Kirin pulled Sora, who was still a little sleepy, into the room.
Kong rubbed his eyes and greeted Luo Mio with a sleepy look.
Good morning, bro.
Seeing Kong's adorable appearance, Luo Mio chuckled.
After chatting with Sylvia for a short while, Luo Mio hung up the call.
Meanwhile, Amagiri Ayato, Yurith, and the others, who had been listening to Sylvia and Luo Mio's conversation, sighed and then looked at the empty room with strange expressions.
"That..."
At the doorway of the room, a cute girl dressed as a maid, about the same age as Sora, spoke timidly to the people inside.
"Your Princess..."
Upon seeing the girl Yurith said, "Is there something you need, Flora?"
Flora Krem.
She is a girl from the orphanage supported by Yurith, and now serves as an apprentice maid in the Lezetania Royal Palace. She is also a member of the "Star Vein Generation".
"Ah, Flora." Sora greeted Flora happily when she saw her.
Perhaps because they were the same age, Sora and Flora quickly became good friends.
Flora greeted Kong happily when she saw him.
Good morning, Xiao Kong.
"Is there something you need, Flora?" Yurith asked Flora with a gentle smile.
"Ah."
Upon hearing Yurith's voice, Flora realized what was happening and spoke to Yurith.
"That's actually His Majesty the King..."
——
Since only Yurith and Amagiri Ayato were invited, Luo Mio and the others waited and rested in the chat room in the detached palace.
However, not long afterward...
Amagiri Ayato and Yurith then returned to the chat room.
"Hmm?" Luo Mio looked at the two of them as they returned, and hesitated for a moment.
Amagiri Ayato's eyes and expression were complicated, while Yurith looked unpleasant.
"What are you doing here...?"
Before Amagiri Ayato could speak, Yurith said, "I'm going out now."
After saying that, he walked outside.
"Ah..." Kato Kirin asked with concern, "What's wrong with Yurith Yulis?"
Then everyone looked at Amagiri Ayato.
Amagiri Ayato gave a wry smile, and then recounted everything in detail in His Majesty the King's room.
It turns out that His Majesty the King persuaded Yurith to give up the "Griffin Star Martial Festival" and hoped that Amagiri Ayato would become Yurith's fiancé.
That's why Yurith had such a complicated expression.
Hearing this, Luo Mio also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Amagiri Ayato, and said.
"That's only natural, Sky Mist."
"The reason I oppose Yurith participating in the 'Griffin Star Martial Festival' is for Yurith's own good, you know that?"
"You know that the Kingdom of Lezetania is Puppet King created by the Integrated Enterprise Consortium, right?"
Amagiri Ayato nodded.
"Your and Yurith's performance at the Phoenix Star Martial Festival attracted the attention of the world. If it weren't for my and Sora's involvement, you and Yurith would definitely have had a chance to win the championship at the Phoenix Star Martial Festival."
"It is precisely because of your and Yurith's outstanding performance at the Phoenix Star Martial Festival that Jobart has persuaded you in this way."
"I ask you, given Yurith's performance, do you think the Integrated Enterprise Consortium will just sit idly by?"
"Now, because of Yurith's outstanding performance, those Integrated Enterprise Consortium may put Yurith on the throne!"
"!"
Amagiri Ayato was also startled when he heard this.
"The reason why His Excellency Jobart became king is simply because he obediently submits to the Integrated Enterprise Consortium. He is a person who has no interest in politics or work. Therefore, the Integrated Enterprise Consortium has tacitly approved of His Excellency Jobart's actions with a half-open eye."
"Similarly, the reason I hope you can enter into a marriage contract with Yurith is the same."
"But..."
Luo Mio looked at him and said, "Why are you so conflicted? Don't you and Yurith already have the answer in your hearts?"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Amagiri Ayato smiled.
Patting him on the shoulder, Luo Mio said, "Now, go and have a good talk with her."
"So, Yurith now...?"
"Your Princess, I should know where it is," Flora, who had been standing to the side, said.
Then Flora led Amagiri Ayato and Sasamiya Saya towards the door.
"Wait a minute, I want to go too."
At this moment, Kong raised his little hand, his mouth stuffed with bread, and said to Flora.
"In that case..." Luo Mio looked at Bella.
Bella noticed Luo Mio's gaze and nodded as well.
Then follow behind Kong.
"Then Yao-jie and I will head to the training room."
After having breakfast Kato Kirin stood up and spoke to Luo Mio and Claudia.
Afterwards, Amagiri Haruka and Kato Kirin also left the room.
Seeing that only she and Claudia remained, Luo Mio turned to look at Claudia and said.
"Then we..."
Claudia then spoke to Luo Mio.
"Mio..."
"Exist."
"Could you come with me somewhere...?"
"Place?"
"Um... my home."
Chapter 98: Claudia's Father's Chance Encounter in the Slums
Looking at the scenery in the sky outside, Luo Mio glanced at Claudia sitting opposite her.
That's right, he and Claudia are currently on a private plane, departing from the Kingdom of Lezetania and bound for London.
To save time, Claudia
Her azure eyes glanced slightly at Claudia, recalling what Claudia had said to her that morning.
Shall we go to Tia's house...?
In other words... Tia has already found out who hired Gustav Malraux...
Her eyelids drooped slightly.
——
After getting off the plane, Luo Mio and Claudia went to the outskirts of London.
After getting out of the car, Luo Mio looked at the mansion not far away, then glanced at Claudia walking ahead, closed the car door, and silently walked behind Claudia.
It is a Gothic Revival building that was moved from Tibbotton, but this mansion is just one of the many mansions owned by the Enfield Family.
After entering the mansion, Claudia said to me after seeing the maids on both sides of the gate, "Are you tired? I'll have them prepare some food."
Luo Mio smiled softly.
"Good."
And so, sitting at the dining table, Luo Mio ate the food on the plate in front of her.
Not long after, a maid came over and whispered in Claudia's ear.
Upon hearing the maid's words, Claudia replied, "I understand. I'll go."
He then said apologetically to Luo Mio, "I'm sorry, Ling, I'll be right back."
Luo Mio shook herself and stood up, saying, "It's okay, let's go together."
Seeing Luo Mio stand up, Claudia was taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded.
The two then walked toward the gate of the mansion.
Looking at the closed door, Luo Mio's eyes slightly turned to the side.
He knew who Claudia was greeting...
The door slowly opened, revealing a figure.
Claudia walked forward, smiling as she looked at the figure, and said.
"Welcome back. You're back very late; lunchtime is almost over."
The figure stared at Claudia with wide eyes, a look of surprise on its face.
Luo Mio knew that the figure in front of her was Claudia's father.
Niklas Enfield.
Niklas has a well-proportioned physique, and although he is already fifty years old, he has a dignified air about him, and his blond hair is also very neatly styled.
