"What's the matter?" Hearing Aurora's question, Egil quickly realized that his cheap sister was worried about the Mongols: "I have done everything I should do. I have not yet had the ability to take the initiative to attack the Mongols. So now I can only wait and wait patiently - then, the waiting for a depressed person is waiting, and the waiting for a happy person is waiting. Why should I look sad, as if the end of the world is coming?"

"Although it is not the end of the world, if it fails, then the end of the Norman Empire will be the end of the empire. The civilization and order you created will be broken again. Just like when the Roman Empire collapsed, the world will fall into the dark age again." Aurora said to Egil: "Do you want something like this to happen? You will die if you are a little serious?! What does it mean to have nothing to do?! Do you know how much government affairs will be produced every day with such a large territory in the empire? If you have nothing to do, go to the Royal Advisory House to handle official affairs tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes, my sister taught me a lesson. But now it is not the time to talk about such things. Drink, feast, dance. Today is Christmas. Look how unsightly you said this kind of thing."

"Maybe." Seeing Egil cutting steak for a while, pouring a glass of wine, and having a happy conversation with a few foreign envoys and imperial nobles, Aurora couldn't say anything else. She had to sigh softly and turn her attention to something else.

Artoria was eating as hard as ever. Joan of Arc did not participate in this banquet as ever. Maria was with her as always. There was Nightingale. The head nurse who was not a noble family was not qualified to participate in this banquet. Sonia stood behind Egil as always, and shot Egil with her sharp eyes from time to time, or the people who were about to approach Egil. She was ready at any time and anywhere, if anyone had any intention of making a mistake, she would draw out the flying knife and make the guy off.

The rest... Well, Bamami was there, trying hard to teach Aien how to use knife and fork. But the Palestinian prince didn't seem to appreciate it. He still used his hands and mouth directly like a beast. In another place, Princia was next to her father Ayujie Khan. In addition, there were several other centaur envoys or entourages. They were confronting Mongolian envoys. Both sides were breathing fire in their eyes, hoping to eat each other. There was a possibility of fighting at any time.

Well. Almost, these are the ones-wait, His Highness Liliannu from Eastern Rome doesn't seem to be here? What did she do?

Although he was a little curious, but he was in the defense of his competitors, Aurora did not tell Egil about this. Instead, he wanted to wait a while and find some time to go out alone to find it. See if he could find out what the other party was doing... Or was the other party engaged in espionage in the Norman Empire? Or did he want to steal some things from the Norman Empire? Documents or infantry gun design drawings or something?

However, before Aurora found a chance—the damn noble children who were disgusting like flies—there were all countries. They were there buzzing around her—so Egil took a step earlier and discovered this.

"Where is His Royal Highness Liliannu from Eastern Rome? She is my very important guest... Oh, sorry. Everyone, it seems that I will leave for a short while." After accusing this, Egil left the banquet hall. Sonia followed him, never leaving. Of course, this was not very convenient for Egil. Although it is a good thing to have a beautiful and cute female bodyguard following her. But when you are going to talk to another equally beautiful and lovely princess, it is a little - no, it should be said that it is very, very inconvenient.

So we have to find a reason to send Sonia away - but the problem is that there was no angry or drunk Queen working with Egil at this moment. So we need to find some new reasons. Of course, this kind of thing is not difficult for Egil.

"So Sonya, look, this is my country, my capital, and my palace. Do you think you still need to maintain such a high level of vigilance in such a place?" Egil asked Sonya like this.

"In fact, Master. I think the more I am in this kind of place, the more I need to be vigilant." Sonya did not understand the subtext Egil said at all, or pretended not to understand if she understood it.

"Uh. In fact, should you have some private space? Look, you are following me every day and every day, without any friends, or interests. Generally, it seems that girls as old as you have some interests or good friends. Everyone gets together to chat about gossip, have tea parties, or show off new skirts to each other."

"That boring thing is not suitable for me, and it is my only hobby around my master." Sonya looked like a small animal about to be abandoned, with a pitiful and innocent expression, and Egil felt very stressed.

"Okay OK OK OK OK OK... In fact, I am going to carry out a very top-secret and very difficult task - of course, there is no need to worry about danger or something. I hope that with this arrangement, the Eastern Roman Empire will be doubled, and the loss of their national strength will be put into civil unrest, and they will be unable to take care of themselves. Let me concentrate on my energy and deal with another enemy of mine. Can you understand that I said this?"

"I can't understand it at all."

"It's right if you can't understand it! Go to bed now and don't follow me anymore!"

That's almost that. Although he was as unhappy as ever when he left, he had to execute the orders of the master. Sonia turned around three times in one step and saw whether Egil would change his mind, but Egil always looked relieved, which made Sonia finally give up.

"It's a little early to go back to bed. Let's play with that idiot..." Speaking of which, it's wrong for Egil to say that Sonia has no friends. In fact, Sonia also has a guy who is barely a friend, Maria, who is similar to her age. Although the communication method between the two is basically maintained by you hit me, I'll scold you. Such an elementary school level is below the third grade. Basically, Sonia, who was just a little unwise at the beginning, will be brought into the idiot mode after getting along with Mariya for a while. It fully proves that the correctness of this theory should never be argued with a pure idiot.

Of course, these are not the point. The point is that Egil found Liliannu in the Imperial Garden of the Norman Empire, in the snow-covered corridors covered by ice and snow. Or His Royal Highness felt that looking at the moon, snow, and plum blossoms introduced from the East on such a snowy night is a very romantic thing. But Egil felt that this behavior was really a little idiotic. But then again, if the other party was a beautiful girl of Liliannu, it would be a little idiotic. Don't care, it's worth it.

"Your Highness is so excited." He took out the small mirror in his arms and looked at it for a moment to make sure that he was as elegant as ever. Egil said such words in Greek, while leaning against the railing, looking up at the sky, Liliannu, who was drinking by himself with a glass of wine.

"It's you." After seeing it was Egil, he looked over and confirmed that it was Egil. Liliannu returned to his initial state. It was not until Egil walked over that he picked up another crystal cup from the side and poured a glass of wine for Egil.

"Thank you." Although Egil felt that the most suitable drink for drinking in this cold weather should be hot coffee or hot chocolate. But as mentioned before, if it was a beautiful girl of Liliannu, it wouldn't matter even if it was boiled water. Or, as long as it was her, even if she was holding a rough pottery bowl, it would be boiled water. Others could see the artistic conception. Because the other party was a beautiful girl.

So, Egil did not complain at all. What's the point of drinking ice wine in the cold weather? Instead, he took the wine glass without hesitation, then ran to Liliannu for a while, then sat next to her, imitating her, looking at the sky with great depth. Then he asked, "Why don't you go to the banquet hall? Instead, you have to come here alone?"

"Are you still there? I know that if you can't see me, you will come out to find me. You can't find me in such a conspicuous place. Isn't it just two people?" Liliannu said with a smile.

"Is that... you seem to know me very well." Egil shook his head, drank the wine in the glass in one go, then reached out and handed the cup to Liliannu. His princess smiled and poured the second cup for him. At the same time, he said:

"I miss you so much that you can't taste it."

"Whatever, that kind of thing. I want to govern the country and lead the troops to fight. I don't have time to learn how to taste wine or something." Egil shrugged and said.

"Maybe..."

"So, why are you staying here?" Egil continued.

"I'm thinking about some questions. You know, the better people are when thinking about problems, the better they are." Liliannu answered.

"Well, that's true. So, have I bothered you?"

"You are the exception."

"Oh... I'm really happy to hear you say this." (To be continued
