Chapter 48 Meeting the Queen
Because the cause of Queen Skylar’s strange illness has never been found out, Skylar’s physical condition has deteriorated sharply since Sirius left the imperial city for Anka.
Even the weather that suddenly turned bad in those few days was metaphysically believed to be caused by Sirius's departure.
But no matter what, even if the empress is still awake at this moment, she can no longer sit around the dining table with her children and eat the daily dinner as she did before.
And even if she could really stand up and walk to the table, it would be nonsense to try to regain the way the family had no gaps and enjoy themselves before.
However, this dinner did surprise Nalia. She had thought of many outcomes, but she never thought that the three of them actually enjoyed a meal in front of the dining table in such a calm manner.
Even looking at Sirius, there was no clue. It was as if the other party had completely assumed the identity of the second prince.
If she and Engli hadn't known the truth, no one would have believed that such a polite-looking person could be a "faceless man" with no memory.
Perhaps, the other party has been learning the etiquette of the nobility during this time?
"Sirius, are you satisfied with today's dinner? After all, it's hard for you to come back once, and it's a rare opportunity for everyone to have a meal together today."
Engli put down his knife and fork and looked at Sirius with a smile, as if he was a pair of friends. My own brother is a very kind and good brother.
However, the words "I finally came back once again" in his words still exposed some of his inner thoughts, making his words of concern feel a little weird no matter how you listen to them.
Nalia naturally heard it, but she did not speak for Sirius immediately, but wanted to see their reactions first.
"Of course I am satisfied. After all, we will have less and less time to eat with the emperor in the future."
Sirius said in a neither humble nor condescending manner, so that no one would think there was anything inappropriate about it. "During this period The imperial sister and I are not in the imperial city. Brother, you must have been worried about the ups and downs in the imperial city. But it is different now. Since we are all back, we will help you solve any difficulties in the future. After all, everyone We are all a family, right?"
"Haha, you don't need to worry about this, Sirius."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Nalia's mouth. Originally, she wanted to say something to combat Engli's arrogance. , but now it seems that there is no need.
It had to be said that if the objective facts were ignored, she had to admit that the imitation Sirius in front of her really had the potential to become the second prince of the empire.
But now she felt more and more that she couldn't see through this young man. She always felt that there was a vague sense of mystery about him. For a moment, she even thought that this man was Sirius himself.
In other words, he was more in line with the prince's demeanor than Sirius in his impression.
The dinner ended hastily with the three of them each having their own thoughts. There was no more conversation, and Sirius had no need to waste his time on these people at this time.
After all, he is now very obsessed with learning magic. The wonderful feeling that he has never experienced in the original world gives him a very wonderful sense of freshness. This feeling is not only that the fantasy has become a reality, but also because Sirius feels that he His strength has indeed grown.
In the past few days, except when Hannah would ask him to go to dinner, Sirius would lock himself in the bedroom and constantly try to read the contents in the book.
Although generally speaking, he was not able to achieve rapid growth in strength overnight, he could still do things such as chanting a spell to urge the fire element to condense a flame on his fingertips.
"Human talent is still relatively limited..." After trying for two days, Sirius's enthusiasm gradually cooled down. Although he still studied magic in the room every day and continued to train his physical fitness, it was obvious that he could feel His current improvement speed is far from being able to compete with Engli and the others.
But he still remembers that he seemed to have pressed a button before, saying that as long as he ceased to be a human being, he could obtain magical talents that exceeded human limits?
Sirius was not sure what the true meaning of this sentence was. Most of the abilities that the button brought to him were full of uncertainty, such as the ability of 1 million gold coins. He would not have thought at the time that the money would give him the same feedback. To the church in Ankh.
It's a pity that the place where he is now is not Anka, and with the influence of the small church in Anka, it is far from being able to get the support of the church in the imperial city.
Not to mention 1 million gold coins, even another 10 million gold coins may not be able to make any substantial change in Aphrama's Church of Light's view of him.
One is the gap in price levels, and the other is that the church here is so powerful that even Engri needs to cede benefits to get the church's support.
He looks like an outsider to everyone, so how can he mediate?
"Lord Sirius, please follow me to see Her Majesty the Queen."
"Is the Queen awake?"
Sirius put down the book in his hand and rubbed his sore eyes, looking at the man who walked in after getting his permission. Hannah asked slowly in the room.
"Yes."
Hannah still said very few words, but Sirius had already become accustomed to the other party's speaking style.
"Okay, then I'll change my clothes and you wait for me outside."
"Yes."
Hannah nodded, then respectfully stepped back to the corridor outside the bedroom door.
It didn't take long for Sirius to put on the clothes he used to wear every day, and his whole demeanor also changed qualitatively with the change of clothes.
The late emperor and empress themselves were very good-looking, and he had always had outstanding looks as he had inherited excellent genes. In a sense, he even looked more handsome than Engri, the eldest prince.
He himself wanted to design the villain into a beastly image, so in a few words he created a clown character who was deprived of even his last proud capital and finally completely broke his defense.
Unexpectedly, this small setting actually made him feel an inexplicable satisfaction.
At least when he followed Hannah to the door of Queen Skylar's bedroom, he clearly felt a hint of surprise in the eyes of the people around him.
Of course, the most intriguing thing was the playful look of the eldest prince Engri looking at him.
"My mother has just woken up and is still in a very bad state. I hope everyone should pay attention to the wording when they speak.
Especially you, Sirius."
