Book 19: Chapter 29
Nona remarked, “So this is the Imperial City, huh?”
Nona’s voice was evidently somewhat weak. Comparatively speaking, the imperial city she imagined far surpassed the one before in size. That was because the four sisters compared it to the Imperial City in the North, Hilles City and Duargana. Duargana was the smallest among the three palaces and designed after an antique style. Thus, that was what the four sisters expected as a bare minimum. This imperial city, however, wasn’t remotely close to that standard. It was merely an ordinary city. Needless to say, this so-called definition of “ordinary” here was that this “imperial city” was too small by their standards.
From the horse carriage, Vera rubbed her skin and complained. It was too rocky for her thin physique. Next to her were an excited Liu Yue and a happy Daisy. Liu Yue’s tail was a perfect cushion to reduce the bumpy ride, thereby keeping herself and Daisy safe. Nona’s ample butt and breasts came to life on the ride. Meanwhile, Vera and the youngster suffered relatively more than the others.
The group had arrived but had yet to enter at the imperial capital. The line from the entrance was so insane that it was akin to a series of connected mountains.
The young ones got off the carriage to stretch out their limbs. Liu Yue wagged her tail, which garnered the astonishment of many people. She didn’t mind, though. Instead, she looked at the long line and sighed: “Why are there so many people?”
The youngster proudly puffed his chest out and explained, “Because Queen Vera’s coronation ceremony will soon be coming up. These people rushed here to see it. There are a limited number of rooms inside the imperial city, which is why we have to be early. Honestly speaking, these people are already late. I’d say that there will be lots of people who will have to turn back.”
“It seems that Vera is quite popular, then, unlike our Vera, who’s not likable in the least.” Daisy didn’t forget to stomp on the foot of her sister she always liked to tease.
Vera snorted but didn’t fire back. The youngster added, “Of course. The people have good judgement. They can tell who the most appropriate ruler is. I believe these people know the answer, too. Unfortunately, those schemers have already sold their souls, loyalty and conscience. Anybody with half a brain would know Queen Vera will be an outstanding monarch. Only morons and those with ulterior motives would oppose her.”
Liu Yue nodded: “I see. So our goal here this time is to eliminate those scheming to overturn her rule and protect this Queen that everybody believes should be crowned?”
