Gazef lowered his head, not daring to look too much. With Princess Renner's status and fame, too much attention might create a bad impression.
"Your Highness," Renners, however, didn't have so many concerns. She bowed and then raised her head again.
Princess Renner, like a pure flower, walked over with light steps, her face full of gentle, slightly shy smiles. "Warrior Captain, you don't need to be so formal."
"Didn't I disturb the two of you?"
Her clear voice carried a hint of curiosity and amusement.
Gazef, who had just prepared to raise his head to respond, lowered it again, quickly replying, "No disturbance... uh, I mean, Miss Renners and I weren't discussing anything important."
"I thought I might hear something interesting."
Princess Renner muttered softly, her tone carrying a hint of disappointed gossip.
The muttering wasn't loud.
But with Renners' and Gazef's hearing, they could clearly hear it.
Renners' exquisite face remained expressionless, her golden hair, reaching past her waist, tied at the end, exuding a unique fragrance.
This made Gazef, standing beside the two beautiful women, look somewhat embarrassed.
"Well then, Warrior Captain, we'll be going now." Princess Renner extended her slender fingers, tugging at Renners' sleeve, and smiled innocently and adorably.
As the two beautiful figures disappeared.
Gazef finally raised his head, scratched his nose, and the embarrassed look slowly faded.
...
On the other side.
In the long corridor, intricately carved with patterns, Princess Renner walked in front, her white dress swaying slightly with each step.
Renners followed closely behind, watching Princess Renner's figure, her glossy lips pursed. She was somewhat surprised that Princess Renner would appear here, seemingly waiting specifically for her.
Could it be that she wanted to ask about the purpose of Rambossa III summoning her and Gazef? But during the walk, Princess Renner showed no intention of asking.
Instead, she occasionally discussed the taste of the pastries provided by the court today, and which flower on either side of the corridor was more beautiful.
Another point.
Renners also noticed that the other party seemed to be in a good mood recently.
"What's wrong, Renners?" Princess Renner stopped, blinking her deep blue eyes, looking at Renners with innocent curiosity.
"It's like this, Your Highness. His Majesty, considering the losses on the Empire battlefield this year, intends to form two legions."
Renners paused, following her footsteps, and spoke softly. Her current identity was that of an Empire citizen who had joined Princess Renner, so there was no need to hide such things. "Each will be commanded by me and Gazef respectively, with a strength of three thousand."
"How amazing, Renners."
Princess Renner clasped her hands together in front of her chest, a happy expression on her face.
That smile wasn't because her subordinate had obtained the right to recruit a legion, but purely because Renners herself was being valued.
At least, the "smile" expressed exactly that meaning.
"So, I'm a little troubled." Renners shook her smooth golden hair and sighed softly.
Forming a legion sounded simple, but just recruiting people was a very complex problem. Renners guessed that Gazef's recruitment would have Rambossa III secretly supporting him.
As for her? From the moment she chose Princess Renner, she had essentially rejected both the Pro-King Faction and the Noble Faction.
And from Renners' observation, Princess Renner's side indeed had no support from any faction.
"Renners, are you troubled by the problem of recruiting people?"
Princess Renner spoke considerately, thinking slightly before saying, "Indeed, it's not easy to recruit excellent soldiers. And Renners doesn't have any fiefdoms or connections here."
Saying this, Princess Renner lowered her head slightly, seemingly ashamed that she couldn't help Renners.
"It's alright, Your Highness."
Faced with Princess Renner's pitiful appearance, even Renners, who usually showed a cold and icy demeanor, couldn't help but soften her expression, quickly speaking.
Renners wasn't surprised that Princess Renner could guess the reason.
The title "Golden" wasn't just describing Princess Renner's appearance, but also her flexible mind.
Besides observing Princess Renner during this time, Renners also attended many noble banquets, naturally gathering a lot of information about Princess Renner.
The thing that nobles most talked about and ridiculed was that she proposed many measures to consider the people at the bottom of society and enhance national power.
However, almost all of these proposals were rejected due to various loopholes and unrealistic situations.
But the kind heart shown by Princess Renner was known and deeply moved the people, which is another meaning of the title "Golden".
Analyzing solely from this information.
Renners couldn't help but feel genuinely fond of Princess Renner, but when she thought of how her master described this princess.
This made Renners have to raise a trace of vigilance.
Renners knew very well how powerful and mysterious her master was, and for a princess who could be praised so earnestly by her master, and compared to the Bloody Emperor...
Thinking of this.
Renners suppressed the thoughts and emotions rising in her heart.
"Oh, right, Renners, I invited my brother Senac to be a guest today, maybe he has a solution."
Princess Renner seemed to remember something, raised her head again, happily put her fair arms behind her back, and smiled at Renners.
Senac? The Second Prince?
Renners was briefly stunned, and her mind suddenly flashed back to what her master had said to her before leaving.
'No need to make extra moves, just hand the problem over to that princess, and she will find a solution for us.'
Buzz! Her mind shook.
Looking at the innocent and lovely Princess Renner in front of her, Renners' lips parted slightly, revealing a small section of pearl-like white teeth, and a sense of horror rose inexplicably in her heart.
The matter of forming a legion was only notified to some noble members by Rambossa III today for discussion and decision, and only after the result was obtained did he tell them the news.
That is to say, until today, no one should have known about the formation of the legion! But Princess Renner invited the Second Prince in advance. If you think deeply, Princess Renner already knew the result before today.
Thinking of this.
Renners' pupils couldn't help but shrink.
No! There is another person who knew in advance, that is the master. Thinking of all his arrangements, it seemed that he had expected the Kingdom to form a legion.
"Huff~" Renners breathed out lightly, and the tense feeling in her heart eased a lot.
If Tang Zheng knew that Renners was comparing him to Princess Renner, he would feel a little helpless. He completely deduced the result through the plot.
But the other party guessed it entirely based on her own wisdom.
Princess Renner's crescent-shaped eyes swept over the change in Renners' expression just now, as if she hadn't noticed it, and retracted her gaze.
However, the slight upward curve of the corner of her mouth seemed to be teasing a cute little animal.
"Let's go, let's go back to the palace first."
Princess Renner turned around, and her gentle voice came.
"Princess, aren't you going to Climb's place to check on the situation today?" Renners seemed to think of something, and while following her footsteps, she asked softly.
After following Princess Renner, Renners unexpectedly learned of the existence of such a person, said to be a slave boy picked up by Princess Renner.
It was said that he only had one breath left at the beginning.
Princess Renner sent someone to take care of him for more than half a year before he completely recovered his body, which shows Princess Renner's attention to him.
Renners had met him a few times, and if she had to evaluate him, he was just a very ordinary boy.
"Not for the time being, Renners. Don't keep brother Senac waiting." Princess Renner said softly.
"Yes."
Renners nodded.
What she didn't know was that since joining Princess Renner's side, Princess Renner's attention to Climb's side was not as frequent as before.
On the front that Renners couldn't see.
In Princess Renner's innocent and deep blue eyes, there was a moment of monstrous excitement.
"Who could it be?"
"To send such an adorable little animal to my side."
"I can't wait."
Princess Renner's eyes regained their composure as she continued down the corridor.
After picking up Climb, his gaze had given Princess Renner a sense of satisfaction, but Renners' appearance intensified that feeling.
Of course!
The satisfaction didn't come from Renners, but from the master behind her.
To be able to control a powerful and proud woman like Renners and send her to my side.
Princess Renner felt a kind of invisible contest from afar, a feeling of being understood and recognized, which made her tremble slightly.
"Mmm~"
Princess Renner's white dress trembled slightly with her body, emitting a barely audible moan.
Renners glanced strangely at Princess Renner ahead.
...
Month of Lower Earth.
December 20th.
Although it was midday, the cloudy sky made the world seem dim.
Large raindrops pattered on the ground, forming a mist that blurred the view and enveloped the entire Royal Capital "Re-Estize."
A carriage emerged from the rain and mist, its wheels moving quickly on the muddy road, splashing a series of mud.
Evil Spirit Dogs pulled the carriage towards the massive Royal Capital ahead, dense rain dripping from their smooth black fur without soaking them.
The rain, which obstructed visibility, had no effect on the Evil Spirit Dogs.
The originally open carriage was now surrounded by circles of pale green, glowing plant vines, blocking the rain.
Inside the carriage.
Anri peered through the gaps in the vines, looking at the somewhat blurred Royal Capital shrouded in rain and mist, her eyes full of anticipation and curiosity.
As a citizen of the Re-Estize Kingdom, Anri had only heard of the Royal Capital before and had never been there, or even to the border city of E-Rantel.
If it weren't for following the lord, she might have had the chance to visit in the future.
"After traveling for more than ten days, we've finally arrived at the Royal Capital." Tang Zheng straightened his back, stretched, and said with a chuckle.
He wondered how things were going with Renners and Imina. This trip to the Royal Capital was not only to see them and arrange the next steps, but also to leave a Magic Mark to facilitate the use of Teleport Magic later.
