As night fell, the entire imperial capital was lit up. On the big square in Olisga, fires were lit one by one, and the flames illuminated the square and also lit up the night of the imperial capital. People reveled in the square, celebrating the hard-won victory, and praising Allen, who was promoted to Prince of Glory. Everyone called him the man who brought peace and hope. The biography of Allen's life has long been adapted by poets into various poems, which are sung in pubs and on the stage. There are also smart vendors selling puppets in the image of Allen, which are welcomed by many children.

Although it was night, the lights illuminated the sky in Oliska on this day.

Standing in front of the high narrow window of the imperial palace, Allen could see the lights of the imperial capital under the dawn mountain. Lucy and Laura, who had changed their costumes, came in and told him that Julian had sent to announce that the dinner party had begun.

"I heard that there will be fireworks to watch during the stay."

"I'm more concerned about what to eat at the dinner party. I haven't eaten for a day, and I'm hungry."

"My God, Laura, can't you be more ladylike?"

"What is a lady, can I eat it?"

Listening to the conversation between the two women, Allen sighed in his heart.

This is a small happiness in peacetime. If the cosmic twilight can be prevented, I will form a family with Lucy and the others in the future. Everyone put down their swords, and they were no longer talking about war. Such days are worth looking forward to.

The three of them came down to the venue of the dinner under the guidance of the palace guards, which was located in the triumphal hall of the palace. Walking into the hall, the smell of food and wine wafted in the air, court musicians were playing beautiful music, and the invited noble ministers chatted and laughed in the corner in twos and threes. When Allen walked into the hall, the guards on both sides sang loudly: "The Prince of Glory is here!"

So the eyes of the people in the hall cast over in unison, and fell on Allen, and then people began to come forward. Familiar or unfamiliar faces flashed before Alan's eyes, and they raised wine and greeted him cordially. After Allen greeted them, he walked to Prime Minister Naibert's side. Knowing that he and the Prime Minister had something to say, Lucy's second daughter held hands and walked to the other side, and other girls surrounded them, mingling with them.

"Is the Prime Minister not drinking today?" Allen was quite surprised to see Naibert holding a glass of juice in his hand.

Naibert smiled lightly: "I'm old, drinking alcohol is not good for my health. I'm not as strong as a prince."

Allen shook his head and smiled: "Master Naibert's words tonight sound a bit strange, why do you have the intention of retiring so much."

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. I plan to resign from His Majesty. Of course, even if Your Majesty agrees, I will not retreat so quickly. I still have to train a few talents for Your Majesty." Naibert sighed. : "I still remember when I assisted the emperor, it seemed like yesterday. But I never thought that time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the emperor has gone, and the empire has encountered many waves. Fortunately, the empire is not lost, The imperial line is still there. But this era no longer belongs to old guys like me and Rodke. And with us, His Majesty can’t flex his muscles. It’s time for us old men to let the young people do it.”

Allen nodded, and Naibert should see that the next few decades will be a period of peace for the empire. As long as Julian does not make any major mistakes, the empire will gradually recover. During this period, there was no need for Nabert to do anything, and he was getting old, which was the opportunity to retire. I heard Rodke say before that he will also be discharged after the establishment of the permanent station in the Shadow Plain. It seems that what happened in the empire over the years has made these old people want to retire.

At this moment the music of the band became heated, and Alan knew that it was because Julian had come. Sure enough, from the side door at the back of the hall, Julian walked in holding the hand of a young princess. When he saw Alan, he let go of his wife and walked over, whispering to Alan: "Tqua Grand Duke Hua is waiting for you in the garden, don't say I'm disloyal, hurry over now, I'll block other people and things for you."

Allen smiled, put down his glass and left.

There is a faint fragrance of flowers in the garden behind the hall. It is summer and the vegetation is flourishing. Alice was standing in the garden with her back to Allen looking up at the silver moon in the sky. Allen coughed lightly, walked over and said, "Why didn't you go in?"

"Don't you think it's more convenient to talk here?" Alice turned around, without any expression on her face, and said, "The elders heard that you were named the Prince of Glory today, and they have already started urging our marriage. I plan to Tell them tomorrow that that night was just an excuse."

"Elise." Allen sighed and said, "I have already sent the territory for you to choose, so you should know that I am serious."

"Are you going to marry me?"

"It depends on whether you are willing or not, but before that, I have one thing to tell you."

Alice frowned, then turned to look at it: "Can I not listen..."

Allen looked at her and said softly: "So you already know."

"Guess."

The two were playing charades, and Allen took her hand and said, "Then let me tell you, Elise. I am not from the Empire, or even from your planet. I come from a distant starry sky , soon, I will be leaving. I think I have to tell you the truth, because it is only fair to you. If you will come with me, I will treat you well. So like I just said, whether to It is up to you to complete this marriage."

Alice withdrew her hand vigorously and said: "I told you not to listen, why did you say it. I would rather treat you as a guy with a mysterious background, then at least I would feel that there is still a chance. But you now I said it, what else can I say. Yes, I like you very much, and I am willing to go to the ends of the earth with you. I don’t care if you are an imperial person or a heavenly person, I only know that you are Alan, and you are the first one who dares to reprimand you loudly My man is also the one who saved me."

"There are many good men in the empire, but I don't know why I just like you. As long as I'm with you, I feel very happy and relaxed. I don't have to think of myself as some kind of Duke of Tsubaki, I'm just a wayward young lady. But If you say you are a heavenly being, then all my hopes will be shattered. Because no matter how much I like you, I can't leave the family, I can't leave..."

As she spoke, Alice began to cry. At this moment, she doesn't look like a grand duke, she is clearly a lost and sad woman. She squatted on the ground with her head buried in her big hands, and the ground around her feet was wet with tears.

Allen looked at her, not knowing how to comfort her. At this time, any consolation came in vain. But at this moment, a cold voice sounded: "Iris, from this moment on, you are no longer the Grand Duke of Tsutahua."
