Chapter 311: The Peace Proposal Letter

Lucien and a few people in the delegation just stood blankly at the City Hall gate until the City Hall staff members went to work.

They looked at the gaudily dressed strangers standing blocking the City Hall gate, speaking up very unhappily:

"Sirs. May I ask if you have any business? If you have no business then please step aside so we can go in to work."

The knights standing behind Lucien drew their swords with a clack, shouting loudly: "Insolent! How dare you be insolent with His Highness the prince?!"

The City Hall staff members had not had anyone point swords at their noses for a very long time. Everyone was stunned for a moment, then became furiously angry shouting loudly: "You are the insolent one! Your whole family is insolent! Daring to draw swords at the City Hall? Tired of living right?"

Following the shout, a Public Security squad immediately stepped forward. Under Sane’s strictness, the sluggish Public Security staff members of the past now every single one had reached the Swordsman level. Being surrounded by such a group, the complexions of the delegation members from the Royal Capital all turned green.

Right at this moment, Ivy hugged a file folder walking over, saying loudly:

"What are you all swarming around here for huh? Not going to work anymore right?"

The City Hall staff members hurriedly scattered, tucking their legs running to the timekeeping area. Finishing timekeeping, everyone returned to their own position. Ivy noticed among this crowd there were also several people of the Mayor’s Office. The little girl secretly memorized it, returning she would rectify their working demeanor.

"Everyone put your swords down. These are guests of the Mayor’s Office." Ivy stepped forward to the front, saying to the captain of the City Hall area Public Security squad. The captain waved his hand once, the squad members all sheathed their swords, standing neatly forming lines on both sides.

Ivy turned to Lucien again, saying: "His Highness the second prince right? Our Mayor invites you in."

"Insolent!" A swordsman was still glaring at Ivy: "A dirty non-human brat yet dares to stand in front of our His Highness the prince talking?"

Lucien only at this moment woke up from his daze, hurriedly turning around scolding his escort. However, Ivy was one step faster than him. The little girl waved her hand once, the swordsman who had just shouted was immediately tied into a cocoon by vines, thrown down at the foot of the City Hall Public Security squad captain.

"During working hours, strictly forbidding causing disorder in the City Hall area." Ivy said coldly, then did not speak much, leaning her body making an inviting gesture with Lucien. That tied-up guy was carried away by two people in the Public Security squad, not knowing what his fate would be.

Lucien’s group swallowed, hurriedly running following Ivy’s footsteps. Lucien cast a glance at valet official Ferris, Ferris hurriedly stepped forward, bowing low speaking softly with Ivy:

"Miss, the person just now offended you Miss, please permit me to bring him back to re-educate."

Ivy glanced at him once, saying: "The offender causing disorder at the City Hall will be punished being locked up as a warning for five days. If you want to take the person out before the deadline then you must personally go to the Department of Public Security paying bail money. I do not have the authority to return the person to you."

The group of people in the delegation looked at each other, completely not understanding what Ivy said. Ivy clicked her tongue once, grumbling: "Do not know what the Mayor thought to let you go out when not yet finishing studying Lyra’s regulations. If you do not want to enter the Department of Public Security’s prison strolling then best follow me closely, otherwise I do not guarantee you returning safely you know."

An escort intending to get used to his mouth shouting, Ferris with sharp eyes saw it, hurriedly covering his mouth. This crazy guy, intending to send the whole group into prison sitting there huh?

Ivy led this group of people walking crossing through the hallways of the Mayor’s Office. Along the way, the Office staff members seeing the little girl all bowed greeting: "Good morning, secretary Ivy."

Ivy also replied: "Good morning everyone."

This respectful attitude made Lucien’s group extremely astonished. Seeing the boards writing very strange names, like Planning Division, like Human Resources Administration Division, like Finance Division, etc; Lucien very much wanted to open his mouth asking. But in this solemn working atmosphere, he truly could not utter the words.

Amidst these neatly and properly dressed people, Lucien felt the flashy clothes on his body looked extremely out of place.

Finishing walking the long hallway row was arriving at a staircase leading up to the second floor. Both sides of the staircase instead of being made of exquisitely carved wood were actually made of glass. In the eyes of the delegation members, this was a symbol of luxury.

Ivy led them up the second floor, walking to the large meeting room of the Mayor’s Office. The little girl reached out her hand knocking on the door:

"Mayor, Lord Divine Envoy, I have brought the guests arriving."

From inside transmitted a deep majestic voice: "Come in."

Ivy stood on tiptoe, pushed the door handle, then leaned her body inviting Lucien and his people inside. Because the number of escorts was too crowded, Ivy only allowed two people to go in with Lucien. The people blocked outside were somewhat unwilling, but after seeing the carnivorous flower suddenly sprouting up from behind Ivy’s back they all consciously shut their mouths, strictly standing on both sides of the door like loyal guards.

Ivy currently was the Mayor’s secretary, therefore the little girl also went inside the room to record the meeting minutes.

Inside the vast meeting room, Sane sat at the central position, Elric sat on his right side and Brian sat on the left side.

Elric stood up receiving, Lucien was somewhat surprised. Compared to the middle-aged appearance bowing his back bending his knees yesterday, today Elric looked a whole ten years younger, his spine perfectly straight, his whole body top and bottom exuding power. The valet official swallowed, whispering into Lucien’s ear:

"Second Highness, another Sword Saint."

Seeing Lucien’s surprised facial expression, Elric laughed brightly, saying: "Excuse me, yesterday when meeting you I had just disguised myself going inspecting in the suburban villages returning. Making you misunderstand."

Elric both laughed and spoke, while holding his hand out toward Sane: "This person is our Lord Divine Envoy. Lord Holy Son has busy matters so cannot receive you, hope you sympathize."

How could Lucien dare to have any opinion. Elric personally being a Sword Saint yet still had to bow his head respecting that person like that, Lucien had not even reached the Swordsman level, completely unqualified to discuss. Lucien did not dare to be disrespectful, hurriedly bowing greeting. He and the two people standing behind him only lacked kneeling down anymore. Because in their conception, even being Royal Family members must also kneel down when meeting a Divine Envoy.

Sane nodded lightly, pointing at the empty chairs: "Please sit."

Lucien fearfully sat down, the valet official and the escorts stood to the two sides behind Lucien’s back. Everyone in the room cast a glance once, but no one forced them to sit down together.

Ultimately every place has different customs, cannot force them.

Waiting for Lucien to finish sitting down, Ivy had brought tea and water over. The fragrant flower tea scent flew into his nose, Lucien could not resist lifting the teacup up, taking a sip trying. First touching was a slight astringent taste, then a sweet taste lingering at the tip of the tongue. Lucien could not resist praising:

"Good tea."

Elric smiled: "If you like it, I will order people to package a little for you to bring back as a gift."

Both sides politely said a few sentences with each other, Elric went straight to the point: "May I ask you visiting this time have what matter?"

Lucien waved his hand, the valet official immediately presented a velvet box up.

Of course this box was not the box holding Lucien’s hair, but holding the seal and the peace proposal letter of the Royal Capital. Elric received the velvet box, opened it checking. After reading through once the flowery words written fully on three paper pages, Elric reluctantly recognized this was a peace proposal letter.

He looked at Lucien surprised: "His Highness the second prince, I am a bit not very clear. You want to propose peace, but I remember we and the Royal Capital have never had any friction right?"

Lucien observed Elric’s expression, seeing he completely did not look like lying. He was bewildered:

"But didn’t you go to the Royal Capital shaving clean the hair of everyone in the royal family, then use them to write a challenge letter?" He pulled his wig down, exposing the shiny bald head: "My bald head is exactly the proof."

Ivy was taking a sip of tea, could not resist spitting out sputtering fully onto Brian’s face. Brian silently took out a handkerchief wiping his face. Elric looked at Lucien’s shiny bald head, his mouth corners twitching. He turned his face away, coughed once completely forcedly and cast his eyes looking at the Lord Divine Envoy still leisurely sitting playing with the communication bracelet on his wrist.

Sensing Elric’s attentively looking gaze, Sane also did not raise his head up, only saying lightly:

"My mate holds a grudge a bit. Your Royal Capital angered him, therefore he only warned a bit. However, if the two army wings only departing from the Royal Capital arriving after you a few days over there truly set foot onto Lyra land, then the thing being plucked down is not only your hair you know."

In the air transmitted crackling explosive sounds, the decorative flower vase in the middle of the meeting table in an instant turned into a pile of coal slag. Brian regretted the property grumbling:

"Lord Divine Envoy, that flower vase is premium ceramics Sir..."

Sane clicked his tongue once, took twenty silver coins in his money pouch placing them onto the table.

Brian immediately received them, then carefully recorded into the ledger.

The three people of Lucien looked at that coal slag pile, their whole bodies went soft like vermicelli noodles. Lucien tremblingly said:

"Sir... Sir, we do not know any army at all. Our Royal Family also completely did not dispatch troops arriving causing war with Lyra, definitely there is some misunderstanding here Sir!"

Sane shrugged, showing an appearance of not caring very much:

"I do not care whose dispatched army it is. If they make my mate unhappy, then the Cathalan Kingdom has reached the time changing owners."
