The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

However, she didn't lie. But I also believe that Otoha wouldn't spread rumors. I just hope... that she can keep it to herself.

"I understand. Since it is Her Highness's order, I will naturally obey. You can rest assured."

As she spoke, Otoha gently lifted the hem of her maid outfit with both hands and bowed to me.

"Okay, okay, I may have kept my friends waiting."

So I quickened my pace and headed out of the castle.

However, this princess dress doesn't hinder combat at all; in fact, I could easily call it a princess battle suit.

After about ten minutes, I finally arrived at the intersection of the market and shopping street that we had agreed to meet.

Indeed, when I looked up, I saw a large golden head and a light blue head.

The big golden head was stomping its feet in apparent exasperation; it was clear she was quite angry…

It seems that this time, I'm definitely going to get a lecture from Lila, and there's no escaping it.

So, taking advantage of Lila's inattention, I grabbed her and lifted her up.

"Whoa~~~!!!"

Lila was startled by my actions and frantically tried to turn her head to see what had happened.

And her short legs were kicking around in the air, which was quite restless.

"Ivy, you're back."

At this moment, Elena didn't seem very surprised, and then turned around and quickly said.

"What? Ivy is back?"

I never expected that she would have so much strength today, and I couldn't hold her back. Lila forcibly broke free from my arms.

She was still furious, because I had indeed made them wait from morning until noon.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. If we don't go soon, we might miss dinner."

At this moment, Otoha looked at the huge clock in the distance and quickly said.

"Okay, Lira, Elena, quickly gather everyone together. We're going to the royal castle for dinner."

So I grabbed Lila and Elena's hands and ran quickly toward the hotel with the bear-shaped car parked at the entrance.

Chapter Eleven: Dining with the Emperor

Since the official road between the Kingdom of the Beginning and the Kingdom of the Dwarves has been completely opened up, the flow of tourists is now truly enormous.

The hotel Lila and her friends chose only had one multi-person room left; the rest were almost all fully booked.

The main issue is that this hotel is slightly more expensive than the others.

For us relatively wealthy people, the price isn't much, but for these dwarves or people who earn their living through blood and sweat, it's quite expensive.

Therefore, it's practically impossible to get out of this large room.

Well, we happen to have nine people, so if we include two rooms, then this large room is indeed very suitable.

However, I'm sending all of them to the royal city, and I'll have to pay for this room from today until dawn tomorrow.

Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for the shop owner to rent out this large room at this time.

So, after I paid the money, I had Angelize drive the bear car towards the castle of the First Kingdom.

When we reached the city gate, Claude, the commander of the Royal Guard that I had kicked away, still seemed to be in shock. He slowly walked over, clutching his abdomen where his armor had caved in.

When they saw Xiongmaru pulling the cart, their eyes widened instantly.

However, seeing that Otoha was sitting next to Angelize, she had no choice but to let her go.

Because he knew I was definitely inside that bear-shaped vehicle.

But at that moment, I saw a familiar figure.

He still had that same long, flowing brown-gold hair, a robust height, and a huge cape fluttering in the wind behind him.

Yes, my father, Emperor I, is waiting for me at the city gate.

However, he still had a smile on his face, and it was clear that he wasn't angry because I was out.

"As expected, my lovely wife, your mother has entrusted you with her most beloved divine pet, Kumaru."

He flicked his cloak behind him and then slowly walked over.

We all hurriedly got off the carriage and lined up neatly before my father, Emperor Yi.

He walked up to Kumaru and gently stroked Kumaru's big bear head.

It seems they are indeed very familiar with each other.

Otherwise, apart from my mother and me, even Lila would have a hard time touching him.

"I never expected that you, my daughter, would have so many friends. It really surprised me. And you've even managed to recruit werewolves from the Gray Wolf God clan, dragonmen from the Red Dragon clan, and even such rare night elves... You're incredibly powerful."

Although my father, Emperor Yi, did not watch me grow up, he knew that at such a young age, before I had even reached adulthood, I could have such a wide circle of friends and even bring other races under my command to keep me company.

Even a king could not do this without the right opportunity.

"Your Majesty, I am Elena, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Edela, the great Kingdom of Beginning. It is an honor to meet you."

At this moment, Elena stepped forward and made a gesture of courtesy like that of an envoy.

"It's actually the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Edla..."

Upon hearing this, my father, Emperor I, seemed to have thought of something, but suddenly stopped speaking.

It seems something must have happened, otherwise he would definitely have said something.

“I…I am, the daughter of Earl Carlstin, named Lila, please…please, Your Majesty, give me your guidance…oh dear.”

However, Lila suddenly rushed forward in a panic, then stammered and accidentally bit her tongue.

Oh, my darling Lila is so cute, I really want to hug her right now.

However, I am now the eldest princess of this kingdom, and I cannot allow my father, the Emperor, to witness such a disgraceful scene.

So, let's talk about it when we get back.

Hello, Lira.

He then smiled and glanced at Lila.

I actually think he was secretly laughing.

But he's a king, so he's just holding back.

At this moment, Lila blushed deeply because she had bitten her tongue, and then quickly and slowly retreated.

At that moment, the eight o'clock bell rang, and its sound echoed throughout the entire land of Yishi.

"Yes, the timing is perfect. I knew you would bring your friends here, so I had the royal chef prepare extra food. Come in and have a taste!"

"Yes, Father."

And so, our group followed my father, Emperor Yi, into the royal castle, and then we came to a very Chinese-style round table.

That's right, typical Western dining tables are the kind that are extremely long.

Western meals are usually served by the number of people, but this round table, which is very Chinese in style, is completely different.

I prefer this kind of dining table to that kind of table.

Because we can all enjoy the ingredients together.

However, I never expected that the tableware we would use next...

That's right, it's not a knife and fork, but chopsticks.

Good heavens, could it be that my father, Emperor Yi, was also someone who traveled from our world?

"Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to eat."

As he spoke, Emperor Yi clapped his hands vigorously.

Then a dozen or so maids slowly walked in from outside, carrying all sorts of delicious dishes.

Furthermore, the taste of this dish can only be described with one word: "fragrant"!

What surprised us even more was that while these dishes featured many Western cuisines similar to those of the Kingdom of Adela, they also included some Chinese stir-fries!

Honestly, this moment reminded me of when I was a child, when my family would invite us to dinner, and we would sit in the restaurant eating delicious stir-fries.

I didn't expect this to actually restore it to its original state.

This table is indeed quite large, and it has a wooden board on it with rollers, but it's not as smooth as in that other world.

Once a lot of food is placed on it, it becomes difficult to rotate, and the noise level increases significantly.

However, being able to find the feeling of my world in this world does make me feel somewhat happy.

Besides my father, Emperor Yi, and the nine of us, there were no other people at our table.

It seems that if I don't invite everyone to dinner, I might only be able to dine with my father, Emperor I.

In that case, the atmosphere would be lacking at this kind of table.
