Chapter 1298 (1/2)
The waiter nodded gently and said, ”ah, Mr. Igor. Then please wait a moment. I'll welcome you after I lead mayor Garcia into his residence. At that time, we need to do some detailed background investigation. You need to fill out several forms and accept some inquiries. I hope you don't mind. ”
Ariel was a little stunned. She looked around and saw that although the surroundings of the post house looked very quiet, the number of Guard officers patrolling seemed to be a little more than that during the large-scale celebration last year.
Think about the situation all the way to the city. The inspection at the gate of the city is much stricter than before, and soldiers patrol back and forth on the streets from time to time.
At first, Ariel thought it was because the new emperor ascended the throne, so she should maintain a certain degree of strictness during this period of time.
But now when I heard that I was such a ”mistress of the second prince” who brought a person to stay, I had to maintain such a high vigilance. It was obvious that something had happened.
”Ah? So much trouble? Well... Forget it, I'll find my friend. Then, President Ariel, thank you for giving me a ride. Goodbye! ”
With that, the elf turned away without waiting for Ariel to speak, jumped onto the roof of a nearby low house and disappeared.
Seeing the spirit disappear, the gel now looks more nervous, and her teeth can't help shaking.
And Ariel didn't have the spirit to take care of him. She followed the waiter into the post house and said casually——
”What's the matter? Is the inspection so strict now? It wasn't that harsh at this time last year. ”
While guiding the way, the waiter said with a smile: ”it's really an eventful autumn recently. The whole country is sad about the death of the first emperor. In addition, blue XIII has just ascended the throne. In order to avoid the hunter empire using this time to do something to us, it's better to be cautious. After all, last year there was a time when an enemy spy sneaked into our country and waited for an opportunity to destroy it. ”
Ariel nodded softly.
When you think about it, last year's sevia incident was indeed a spy invasion. So it seems that this matter really didn't escape the eyes of the royal family, and I don't know how many bloody storms happened without knowing it.
From another point of view, was he involved in last year's espionage case and contributed to the blue bay Empire?
On the top floor, the waiter led Ariel to stop in front of the largest room. At this time, the other waiters have brought the luggage about Ariel from the element car and are putting it in the room bit by bit.
Looking at the spacious room with three bedrooms and one living room almost two floors higher than the surrounding low buildings, especially the castle in the distance can be seen directly from the landing window, Ariel breathed out a little, nervous and excited.
”Then, please rest here first. I will quickly send the news of your arrival to the imperial city and arrange you to go to the Imperial City in the near future. If there is anything, please shake the bell here, and we will come at once. ”
”Well, then you'll have to.”
After saying goodbye to Ariel, the waiter turned to look at the cream, sweet potato and gel behind him and said, ”this way, please. I've arranged rooms for the three.”
As the voice fell, Ariel's door closed. So that the mayor can enjoy his leisure time alone.
As for the next time, it's rest. Anyway, recently... Or as soon as tomorrow, I will enter the palace to meet my majesty, the queen, my nominal ”lover” and... Miss Alice.
At the thought of seeing Alice, Ariel suddenly felt that it was not so terrible to come to the imperial city again. Anyway, she missed this innocent and lovely young lady more or less.
At the thought of this, Ariel went into the bathroom.
Looking at this large bathing bathroom that is completely incomparable with her own mermaid song guild, Ariel licked her lips, immediately pulled all the curtains and found all the bathing supplies around. However, after dealing with this and thinking that there was no hot water here, he patted his head, went to the door, picked up the bell and shook it. Before long, two maids came to the door. After hearing Ariel's instructions, they immediately went to prepare hot water.
It will not be long before the ETUDE can easily lie in this big bathtub, enjoying the fine foam and coating the whole body, and then let the tired body feel relaxed.
Well ~ ~ ~ it's not as good as the lava bath in the city, but you can make do with it.
In this way, after taking a bath, Ariel put on her pajamas, went to bed early, buried herself in the warm bed, rested heartily, prepared to recover her spirit and welcome the arrival of a new day.

Bang bang bang bang!
A quick knock on the door woke Ariel from her dream.
She rubbed her eyes, yawned and got up from bed. But before she could sort out her emotions, she heard a noise at the door.
”You can't do that! Sir, you can't disturb the Baron's rest! ”
”What's not disturbing? get the hell out of here! I have something urgent to find our president! ”
”Sir! The Baron is resting! If you do... ”
”Is it annoying?! president! President, open the door quickly! ”
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The knock on the door seemed more urgent.
Ariel heard it. It was the sound of cream. The assassin is in such a hurry that it is obvious that something very serious has happened.
At that moment, regardless of her dignity, Ariel quickly pulled up a blanket to wrap her body slightly, and immediately went to the door to open it.
The cream outside was anxious and seemed to be going to fight with the maids who were blocking her. As soon as she saw Ariel appear, she immediately came up to her president and said nervously——
”(softly) the gel and tapioca are gone.”
”Both of them?!”
The news was beyond Ariel's expectation! Originally, she thought there would be something more tense, but the situation was far beyond her imagination!
At that moment, Ariel nodded gently, closed the door with her backhand, immediately walked back to the bedroom, threw away the skirts she had planned to change, took out two clean clothes and trousers washed on the road from her suitcase, changed them, and came to the door again to let the cream in.
”(softly) what's going on? How did they both disappear? ”
Cream glanced at the maids at the door, bit his teeth and whispered, ”yesterday, the waiter sent us to our respective rooms. Because it was still daytime at that time, I estimated that as soon as Mashu entered the room, he went to bed. I was worried that the gel boy was not stable alone, so I wanted to talk to him and play national war cards for a while. ”
”While playing cards, the boy kept asking me about dak. But these are dak's private affairs. I can't tell others without his consent. Moreover, the boy is not a member of our mermaid song, so he prevaricates. He just said that his hometown is here. Maybe he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives. ”
”At dinner, the boy looked a little wrong, but I didn't care too much at that time. As a result, after dinner, I wanted to patrol before going to bed to confirm safety, and then knock on his door. As a result, his door was locked and didn't open.”
”I felt a little strange, so I climbed out of his window along the outer wall to make sure he didn't have any accidents. I didn't see that guy. ”
”At that time, I didn't think about the worst. I always felt that young people might be interested in anything when they came to the capital for the first time. They should go out and hang out.”
