Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Chapter 112: Imperial Grace

Valken hadn't had time to learn more about this when he came back. "I'll go investigate tomorrow."

Cecilia realized that she had asked the question without considering Valken.

Ever since they parted in Aslade City, Valken had been very busy, and only relaxed a little after returning to Petra yesterday.

Cecilia thought about it and realized that she probably wouldn't have anything to do tomorrow, and Lorian could handle the Magician Guild's affairs alone, "I'll go with you."

"Yes, Your Highness."

They had just sat down in the palace for a short while, and Celine hadn't even brought the water yet. Valken made small talk, "I met little Prince Mel in the palace today."

Cecilia really hadn't thought of this person for a long time, "He came to the palace..."

Valken shook his head, "I didn't have time to ask. The little prince looked hurried, as if he had something urgent to do."

If Valken had been in Petra the whole time, he would probably have been able to guess a little bit. The problem was that Valken had just returned yesterday, and the work of the Royal Knights had not yet been fully handed over.

Cecilia had even less idea.

But she thought that Valken would not mention Mel for no reason, so she quickly flipped through the original book again.

After all, the original work is a novel of thousands of chapters, and it is impossible for Cecilia to remember all the details clearly.

This time, he did find a clue, "Recently, there is an epidemic in the south?"

As soon as the word epidemic came out, Valken's expression changed, "Your Highness, please don't make such a joke."

Cecilia also hoped that this was a joke from God. Gallup's order probably hadn't even reached the South yet, but the epidemic had already started in the South.

If an epidemic really breaks out, the people in the south will probably not be much better off than the people in the Wakadi Mountains.

Cecilia inexplicably thought of Freya exchanging the fortune of the entire human race for the black magician.

An epidemic also broke out in the original novel, but Freya, as the protagonist and a princess, had no reason to make a deal with the black magician.

Cecilia thought about what had happened during this period and the plot in the original work, and it seemed that the reference value of the original work was very low now.

Maybe there was no epidemic in the South at all.

Cecilia comforted herself, "I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn."

Since His Highness' 20th birthday, His Highness has become much more mature than before. Valken believes that His Highness would not joke about such things. If it is true, how did His Highness know this?

Mel, who was just mentioned casually by Valken, now made Cecilia anxious.

The epidemic was still uncertain, and Cecilia did not dare to speak out, so she had to turn the topic back to the weapons. "By the way, are all the weapons they invested in Petra?"

Valken shook his head. He was not very clear about this, but he had some ideas. "Even if they are not in Petra, they probably know each other. The Chamber of Commerce in Aslade City can get the news and invest. There is no reason why the Chamber of Commerce in Petra cannot get the news?"

Cecilia thought so too, "So we are going directly to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow, right?"

Valken nodded, "Or does Your Highness have any clues?"

Cecilia doesn't have any for now. There are organizations such as weapons research and development and chambers of commerce. The former did not exist at all four hundred years ago, and Cecilia rarely dealt with the latter four hundred years ago.

Whenever dealing with the Chamber of Commerce, it was Abeluna or Ellal who went.

In their own words -

"Cecilia goes to negotiate the deal, and by then we'll be mortgaged to the point where we'll have nothing left."

Because of her criminal record, her old friends rarely let her negotiate with merchants anymore.

Cecilia knew her own limitations and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow, and you can ask me then."

Valken was puzzled, "Your Highness, are you going on a secret visit?"

Cecilia was stunned and laughed, "There should be no one in Petra who doesn't know me or you, right?"

Valken also reacted, "Then Your Highness..."

Cecilia was a little embarrassed. "I'm not very good at dealing with people from the Chamber of Commerce. I'd better let you handle it."

After the two reached a consensus, Valken stayed for a while and discussed the situation in the Wakadi Mountains. Seeing that it was really dark, he left.

As soon as Valken left the princess's bedroom, he was called to the study by Gallup.

On the way, Valken understood what Gallup meant, and went there silently.

Gallup regards Cecilia as the apple of his eye. As a father, Valken thinks that the distance between him and Cecilia is too close, and it is time to give her a warning.

The rewards and punishments ordered by His Majesty himself were not open to discussion by Valken. "Yes, Your Majesty."

It was the next day when Cecilia learned that Valken had been punished.

"Your Highness, the captain has other tasks, so he sent me to accompany Your Highness."

Cecilia was indeed a little surprised when she saw Joyce standing at the door of the bedroom. Valken was not the kind of person who would stand up someone at the last minute.

"Do you know what mission Valken is on?"

Joyce looked embarrassed. His Majesty did not punish Valken explicitly, but the task he issued was indeed to make things difficult for Valken. "His Majesty asked the captain to lead people to the south to recruit soldiers."

Cecilia frowned.

Logically speaking, the news of Gallup's conscription should have been released yesterday. Although conscription is compulsory, it is not mandatory to the point where it is put on the table. It is still done secretly and everyone knows it.

Now they are sending Valken specifically. Isn't this obviously a compulsory conscription?

Cecilia didn't even care about the Chamber of Commerce and turned directly to find Gallup.

On the way to the study, Cecilia was still asking Joyce, "Has Valken set off yet?"

Joyce did not answer.

Cecilia was anxious, "Speak."

"Your Highness, I don't know either."

Cecilia had a bad feeling. She hadn't worn this complicated palace skirt for many days, and now she felt it was becoming more and more inconvenient.

She lifted her skirt and walked quickly towards the study.

When he reached the door of the study, he was stopped by the knight at the door.

Cecilia felt more and more that something was wrong. She had come to this study quite often, so when did there appear to be knights guarding the door?

"I want to see my father."

The knight didn't say anything and his movements didn't change, as if he didn't want Cecilia to go in.

Cecilia knew that these knights certainly didn't have the courage to stop her, it could only be Gallup's instruction.

"Father, I just want to know what mistake Valken made to be sent to do something like this!"

No response.

Cecilia didn't know when Valken left. She looked at the two knights who stopped her and said, "He is your captain. Don't you know how he treated you in the past? I just want to know when he left Petra!"
