A few days later, Regnar, Joffrey, Alfred and other senior figures in the Hawke Empire came to Merindl's door to greet Lisanna. This is Ralphin's arrangement. Firstly, it fully expresses his support for Alexander's choice. Secondly, Ralphin also intends to use this method to test the young swordsman whom he didn't care much about before. If she didn't perform well in such a small scene, Alexander's evaluation of this girl would probably be lowered a lot.
But what surprised Larvin was that Lisanna performed quite well in front of everyone at that time. Although she was dressed in military uniform when she returned, her demeanor was simple and capable. Although she was probably a little less beautiful and elegant than the daughter of a wealthy family, her heroic spirit unique to a soldier perfectly made up for this.
In addition to her behavior, Lisanna also speaks quite appropriately when facing everyone. Especially when dealing with the most difficult Joffrey, Lisanna acted neither humble nor overbearing, winning the recognition of many people.
Of course, all of this would be without the help of Regnar and Annelotte. One of these two guys is the dean of the Academy of Magic who is on an equal footing with Joffrey, and the other is the head of the Military Intelligence Department. Although he is quite uncooperative on weekdays, Joffrey does not dare to look too ugly in public.
And in the end, Annelotte announced in public that Lisanna was the only direct disciple of her father Malolite. After Annelotte herself and Lisanna were close sisters, most of the people in Melinder finally agreed. The prince's fiancée.
The reason why Annelotte did this was because Regnar had written a letter before she came back. At that time, Regnar reminded Annelotte that although King Larvin had recognized Lisanna's status, a large part of the people of Merindel did not accept it. Many young ladies whose eyes were red with jealousy began to form large and small groups, preparing to make the "woman who was inexplicably favored by His Highness" understand what a true noble was when she came back. And some civilian girls who were daydreaming about Cinderella also had some commotion. There was even a small demonstration in Melinder before because of it.
Therefore, in order to prevent Lisanna from encountering any embarrassing situation after returning, Annelotte deliberately revealed her relationship with Lisanna. Under the unparalleled aura of the Imperial Sapphire, both the ladies with heavy makeup and the fake innocent girls lowered their heads involuntarily. Maybe some of them don't admit that Annelotte's appearance is better than theirs, but no one dares to deny that Annelotte's talent is better than theirs.
In the end, with the help of Annelotte and Regnar, Lisanna's return went smoothly. This also gave Regnar a sigh of relief.
From Regnar's personal point of view, he really likes or appreciates Lisanna, a girl. This Lisanna is not only thoughtful and lovable, but also quite smart and considerate. The most important thing is that Lisanna once saved Erin's life. This made Regnar silently regard her as his benefactor in his heart.
As for Annelotte, she also liked Lisanna very much. What's more, Lisanna was her father's direct disciple, and the two girls also had the experience of getting along day and night. Calculated this way, there is nothing wrong with Annelotte saying that Lisanna is her close sister.
Because of these reasons, Regnar and Annelotte cooperated almost tacitly to help Lisanna. Because both of them have an attitude of appreciation and blessing for this girl who has come from an ordinary fisherman's daughter to the present situation, and they also hope that she can find a good home. And obviously, the Holy Golden Eagle Alexander is what most girls dream of.
After attending the welcoming ceremony, Lisanna also came to the palace to meet her father. After the old man lamented for a long time with tears in his eyes, Regna and others felt a little bored and planned to leave. Anyway, this is not the first time Lisanna has entered the palace. She can handle any problems she encounters by herself.
But in order to thank Regnar and others for their help, Lisanna warmly invited Regnar and others to stay. She and her father would personally cook a dinner for Regnar and others. Therefore, Regnar and the others, who were already dizzy with hunger, did not refuse. They went directly to the palace kitchen that night to cook for themselves.
What surprised Regnar and the others was that although Lisanna had been in the industry for many years, her cooking skills were quite good. As for her father, she was even as good as the palace's royal chef. After the meal, Regnar himself had a mouth full of oil, and Annelotte, the hidden big eater, was even more powerful, and even Regnar, who knew Annelotte's appetite, was stunned.
…
In the next few days, Regner and others began to return to normal life. Regnar squatted in the dark military intelligence office every day, racking his brains and thinking of bad ideas to dig holes for the Stoker people. And Annelotte once again devoted herself to the busy work of college management. Irene still stayed in the school doctor's office, always on guard against Regnar's mysterious harassment.
Only Inelise, after her return, was always troubled by nightmares.
Enelise opened her eyes. In front of her was a tall but dilapidated fortress, and she was standing at the gate of the fortress. The surrounding weeds looked like devil's claws against the dim moonlight. Eerie and terrifying.
The little girl turned her head and looked around, and she remembered that this was where all the nightmares began. The hell on earth that allowed her to see countless blood, mutilated limbs, and corpses - Fortress Costa.
Enelise knew that she had a nightmare, but she had no way to do anything about it at this time. Dreams are different from meditation, and it is impossible for Inelise to resolve the dream by relying on her own willpower. In the dream, she couldn't even freely control her body and thoughts.
"Don't think about it... don't think about it..." Inelise could only use her shallow consciousness during sleep to give herself a weak reminder.
The gate of Costa Fortress slowly opened.
"Shaking, shaking..."
With the faint light, Enelise saw a man slowly walking out of the door, dragging a heavy sword behind him, while she was stumbling.
Inelise's scalp began to tingle, and she instinctively wanted to turn around and escape, but at this time her body seemed to be paralyzed and could only tremble weakly.
The man walked in slowly, and Enelise saw his face, no... not him, but her. Enelise was horrified to find that the man walking over looked a bit like herself!
