At about ten o'clock in the morning, the merchant ship docked.

The pier on the hillside of Ark Port is covered with colorful flags, and the winding mountain road from the pier to the city is planted with golden double lion battle flags symbolizing the royal family. A spacious space was cleared on the pier, and the Orlando couple, the agent of Ark Harbor, Long, the agent of Allen Territory, Roger, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Vera, the Christian saint, and other prominent figures all gathered together. When he saw Julian appearing on the bow deck, Orlando made a gesture, and all the white pigeons prepared earlier in the morning were released from the cage. White birds soared into the sky, and the sound of flapping wings sounded above the pier. Amidst the birdsong, all these pigeons flew out of the pier and disappeared into the sea outside.

Julian suppressed his excitement, although he acted calmly and generously. He waved to everyone on the pier first, and then walked towards the trestle connecting the merchant ship and the pier. After Julian's figure disappeared temporarily, other people appeared on the deck one after another. First Prime Minister Nabert, then Elayne, Julian's mother, and others. When Alan's figure appeared on the deck, Ruola took a short breath before returning to normal. She saw Allen smiling at her. Before that, Ruola had imagined how she would react when she saw him again? Happy? sad? Awkward? But until this moment, she didn't know everything was wrong.

Now she is just calm.

The past is like the wind.

She could feel the warmth of Orlando's palm, so she knew that Allen was already a part of her memory, and Orlando was her present and future!

Ruola can finally face the man she once loved calmly.

She responded with a bright smile, and waved her hands to express the joy in her heart.

It was the joy of reuniting with old friends.

Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Orlando smiled too, and kissed her cheek while no one was paying attention. The latter secretly pinched him lightly, but smiled even brighter.

"You are welcome, Your Highness, everyone in Ark Harbor is honored."

Orlando put his hand on his chest and bowed as Julian stepped off the dock. Others also saluted Julian one after another, and His Royal Highness responded to people's enthusiasm with the most beneficial etiquette. When Alan and the others also appeared at the pier, Vera, Roger and others also greeted them. It's been a long time since everyone has seen each other, and every time the empire undergoes drastic changes, there are endless things to chat with each other. Finally, Orlando called the prepared carriage and asked everyone to talk again.

As Julian arrived at Arkport,

It also means that the Empire is officially divided between the North and the South. Unless either Howson or Julian disappears, the confrontation may not end.

After Orlando led His Royal Highness away, other people on the merchant ship, including those bronze blade warriors, disembarked one after another. Naturally, these people had other arrangements. However, not everyone got off the boat, so Edward and Diego prepared to rest at the pier for a while, then took another boat to Violet Harbor, and then diverted to Route 6 to Sur City. It has been transformed into a starship dock, where Diego will take the starship back to Earth.

After arriving at White Castle, Allen also met other people. Naga Princess Lily and Princess Shusha, and Lily's half-sister Shana are also in the White Castle. They did not go to the port to greet them. After all, it is better for the Naga tribe to appear less in the public eye, and to avoid unnecessary troubles as much as possible. Julian was not unhappy about this, on the contrary, he took the initiative to salute the princess as a show of respect.

The Orlando couple walked in the front, beckoning the huge procession to the hall, where a dust-cleaning banquet had been prepared. Lily and other distinguished guests from the Naga clan also joined the ranks, and Princess Lily got next to Allen, who said: "You guys came so fast."

"Of course, we have special sea tools." Lily said proudly, puffing out her youthful chest. She was not exaggerating. The Naga tribe is originally the daughter of the sea, and the speed of sea traffic is naturally faster than human ships. Quite a few. What's more, as a royal family, Lily also has an underwater palace in her hands, which is a huge sea beast, and they should go south quickly.

"If it weren't for my sister's delay in the palace, we can go faster." Lily yawned: "You don't even know, we have been waiting for you in Ark Harbor for many days. Boring. Elizabeth and Hoy teamed up to release a message, and they drove out the imperial navy in the south. They didn't resist a little bit, so I would have some fun."

Allen said unexpectedly: "Are you joining the defense line in the southern waters?"

"Do you have an opinion? Is there anyone who is better at the battlefield at sea than our Naga clan?" Lily squinted her eyes and said.

Allen waved his hands quickly: "No, please don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to question your naval combat capabilities, but I was a little surprised that the Naga tribe would also participate in human affairs."

"Do you think what we think? If we don't support Julian, the brat, and let Hao Sen, a bastard who is as proud as a wild boar, take the real power, it will be a disaster for us Naga tribe. I'm afraid we will have to Completely withdraw from the empire’s territory, isolate the sea area, and live a life of self-defense. That would be even more boring.”

Allen frowned: "Howson still wants to harm you?"

"Then what do you say? After he declared himself king, the first decree was to abolish the protection of the Naga clan, and then he went to the palace to force my sister to tell her the exact location of our clan. From what he said My sister deduced that he wanted to touch our Fountain of Youth! This damned bastard, how could Tangleo give birth to such a son." Lily said through gritted teeth.

Allen finally knew the ins and outs of the participation of the Naga clan. Normally speaking, civil strife in the empire would be something they would like to see. In this way, human beings have no time to pay attention to them. Now that Howson is trying to get involved in the fountain of youth, he has forced these alien races on the sea to Julian's side.

Arriving at the banquet hall in a blink of an eye, Orlando did not make much fanfare. There were only a few long tables in the hall, and there were dozens of guests including Julian. Under the arrangement of the two of them, Julian, Allen, and Lily all sat at the main table, while the others sat at the vice seats. After the guests are seated, the food and drinks will be served, and the guests can chat while eating without being tight.

After Julian tasted a dish of roasted duck with onions, he asked the question that Alan and others were most concerned about: "What's new in Oliska now? We've stayed at sea for too long, and we don't even know what's happening in the empire now."

Orlando gently wiped off the wine stains from his mouth with a napkin, looked at Julian and said in a deep voice, "Several things did happen."

"After your Highness and you sailed out to sea, Howson issued an order. He demanded that the lords and nobles from all over the country must submit their allegiance to him. As a reward, he could allow an important member of the lords' families to live permanently in Oliska. Howson calls it the supreme honor, but to put it bluntly, it is just that the lords send him a hostage to prove their loyalty."

Julian shook his head and said, "He has lost all the majesty of the imperial family. When father is around, there is no need to protect the loyalty of the lords in this way."

"But he is not His Majesty. Howson has very little weight in the hearts of the lords everywhere. It is no wonder that he uses this method to consolidate his rule. It's just that he was too hasty. Not only did he attract complaints from the dignitaries of the Northland, even the old Marshal Luo Dirk made a special trip to join Olis for this, but I heard that the two of them seemed to be very unhappy. You must know that in the past, Howson did not dare to contradict Rodeck like this, but now he has something to rely on. "Orlando deliberately paused here, leaving time for everyone to think.

Allen sighed: "Is that the strong man named Stark?"

Orlando pointed to Allen and said: "Master Allen, can't you let me keep this secret for a little longer?" After making a little joke, Orlando nodded and said: "Yes, this is Stark This person came out of nowhere, and he was so strong. The reason why Rodeck rushed to meet Howson on purpose was because when the hostage plan was launched, the family named by Howson ignored him. Then, a few days later, a group of important people died in those families, and some families with insufficient background were frightened to send hostages to the imperial capital."

"But Howson did this, and even Rodke couldn't stand it anymore. As I said before, Howson was uncharacteristically towards the old marshal, which made Rodke very angry. There were also some conflicts during the period. It seems that the man named Stark The people and Rodke confronted with momentum. But the two did not fight after all, but it ended with Rodeck leaving the city overnight. Just after Rodeck left, Howson announced that Stark was the new boss the next day. Prime Minister. But we don’t know much information about this Prime Minister, except that His Highness knows that this person is the culprit who attacked the emperor, and even the Boleyn family can’t find information about his origin and past. .”

Allen shook his head secretly, of course Elizabeth could not gather information about Stark. He came from beyond the heavenly planet, no matter how powerful the Boleyn family was, they would never get half of the information.

The former prime minister who had just put a piece of fish in his mouth shook his head, and Naibert looked at Julian and said, "To be a prime minister now you have to have the combat power of the holy realm, no wonder I will dismiss our new king."

Julian laughed: "Strong combat power can't solve anything. If the ability to govern the country can also be converted into combat power, I guarantee that the sycophant named Stark will not be able to catch up with you, teacher."

Naibert laughed, and then said softly in a voice he could only hear: "The strong are indeed not omnipotent, but at least they can solve most of the problems. What is most needed at this time is a strong man with the power to rule the country." Or, not an old guy like me?"
