"Uuuuuu——"
The steam train roared through the tunnel and then slowly stopped inside Frostfall City Station.
Accompanied by the long sound of the steam whistle, a large amount of white steam was released from the train's cab.
A figure with long silver-white hair tied into several braids at the back of her head to form a wreath that slowly fell down walked out of the carriage door.
"Huh, the air here is still fresh."
Brianna took off the sunglasses on her face, took a deep breath of the slightly cool air and said.
"The air pollution control bill must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible. No, I'm not the king, why should I keep thinking about this?"
Brianna shook her head and walked out of the station with her luggage.
Elena, the shadow guard and part-time maid, followed her slowly: "This shows that you love the citizens of the capital. Even if you don't take that position, as a member of the royal family, you have the right to change the country according to your own ideas."
"Hahaha, Elena, you are still so good at talking." A hearty male voice sounded from behind the two of them. Brianna's brother, the second prince William, followed closely behind them.
He took a deep breath in an exaggerated manner, and then revealed an intoxicated expression: "Ah - I've been stuffy in the car for a long time, it feels so refreshing after coming out."
"It's true that the air in the capital should be purified, but that's something the Air Purification Committee has to do. It has nothing to do with you, Brenna."
"Humph, if they were really working hard, the air in the capital wouldn't be like that." Brenna said with a cold face.
"It's not that simple." William said, "Air purification is related to many aspects."
"Those factories are the lives of the emerging nobles. If we want to reduce pollution, we either have to make them spend more money or make less money. How could they agree to such a thing?"
"Then find a way." Brenna said without turning her head: "Otherwise, what is the meaning of the committee's existence?"
"If you give up when you encounter difficulties, then the entire kingdom might as well shut down."
"Give preferential treatment to those factories that are willing to comply with pollution emission targets. Those that are unwilling can only watch. There will always be someone willing to take action."
"Oh, my sister, it's easy to say, but who should pay for the preferential treatment?" William asked with a look of helplessness.
"Of course the royal family will pay for it." Brenna said without hesitation, "Since we are taking taxpayers' money, we should use it in a useful way."
"Wow~ Not everyone is like you, who doesn't treat money seriously. The ministers will not agree to such a thing." William waved his hand with an expression that said, "What should I do?"
"Hmph!" Brianna snorted, not wanting to pay any attention to this annoying guy.
How can we govern the country well if we work with such a bunch of insects! ?
So it’s better not to be the king!
As for what she said before, that when encountering difficulties, one should solve them, this can be considered as a solution-oriented attitude.
Anyway, the ministers are begging her to be king, so she won't go. They will give in one day. Bullshit.
Brianna never counted on those guys. Her real idea was to advance to legendary or even epic level as soon as possible, so that she could do whatever she wanted.
But if I become a king, I will have so many things to do every day, so how can I have time to study machinery?
If she can’t study machinery, she can’t become stronger, and if she can’t become stronger, she can’t let the kingdom become her one-man show.
In short, we still need to work hard.
Dear Miss Yun, I'll be back soon!
When she thought about seeing the figure in her mind soon, Brianna's bad mood suddenly became cheerful, and her pace could not help but quicken.
"Huh? Why are you walking so fast all of a sudden?"
"Wait for me."
William followed behind Brianna, somewhat confused.
So, girls’ emotions are really hard to understand. She looked angry just now, but how come she became happy in the blink of an eye?
Several people left the station and then hailed a taxi.
"I never thought that a prince like me would have to take a taxi one day." William complained as he looked at the taxi coming towards them in the distance.
There was no other way. Although he could have his beloved car transported by a steam train, doing so would have seemed like an abuse of power.
He was mainly afraid that the ministers in Congress would use this as an excuse to lecture him, so he decided to just forget it.
"Hey, Mr. Driver, I see you are a little tired of driving. How about letting me drive for a while?" He got into the taxi, rubbed his hands, and asked while sitting in the passenger seat.
"This..." The driver hesitated when he heard this. If he had encountered this situation in the past, he would definitely refuse without hesitation.
But at the moment, William and Brianna's attire made it obvious that they were not ordinary people. He could not bear to offend such guys.
Why does this guy, who is so rich, still take a taxi and even wants to drive one?
"Don't pay attention to him." Brenna sat in the back seat and said, "Just take us directly to Liuli Street."
"Okay, okay." The driver finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, then decisively pressed the gas and drove the taxi quickly.
"Oh, oh, oh - the speed is good." The sudden acceleration made William lean back in his seat. He listened to the sound of the steam engine for a while, and suddenly said:
"Driver, this is the engine component produced by the Sekan family. I thought I heard it wrong just now. I didn't expect that their family has already sold the engine to Frostfall City?"
"Well, I don't know much about this." The driver said honestly, "I'm just a driver. I don't understand these things."
"Hey, that's not right. Soldiers on the battlefield need to understand the weapons in their hands. As a driver, you also need to understand the mount you are driving."
"Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the car one day, you won't be able to tell, and small problems will become big problems. For example, your engine sounds a bit noisy, and it feels like it hasn't been maintained for a long time."
"I recommend that you go to a car shop for maintenance and repairs right after this trip. Otherwise, if the engine explodes one day, a broken component is just a small matter, but if someone is injured, it will be a big deal."
William kept talking, completely ignoring the driver's pale face.
But his last words made people feel a little relieved.
"But this is only a low-probability event. The most likely thing is that there will be air or liquid leakage, not explosion," he said.
"Thank you, thank you, I will pay attention to it." The driver said with a little gratitude.
Although it was not good for William to scare him with the words just now, the other party did remind him to pay attention to the maintenance and safety of the vehicle. Even if it is a small probability event, it is possible to happen. It is better to go to the car shop for maintenance after this trip. Oh no, how about waiting until it is delivered today?
The driver was struggling with his thoughts while driving. As for what he was thinking in the end, probably no one knew.
"Dear guests, we have arrived." After parking the car steadily beside Liuli Street, the driver spoke slowly.
"Oh, thanks!" William took out the Silver Cream and handed it to the driver, then opened the car door and got out.
Elena, who was sitting in the back seat, opened the door first and held Brianna's hand.
"This is not an old carriage, is it that serious?" William couldn't help but complain when he saw this after getting out of the carriage.
"This is etiquette." Elena said without turning her head.
"Haha, I also think it's a bit too much." Brenna laughed softly after getting off the car. She said, "This is not the capital. There aren't so many eyes staring at us."
"You can relax a little bit."
Brenna said, walking in the direction of the Sisilaya Cafe in her memory.
William followed her and looked left and right.
"Ah——Why are there so many buildings in the style of the capital here? I'm tired of seeing them. They're not as good-looking as the ones I saw on the way here just now."
"Because this is the trend." Brenna smiled without looking back, "Unless you leave the Frost Kingdom, buildings of this style are the same everywhere."
"It's just the aesthetics of an old antique." William curled his lips. "I know a friend whose buildings are very much in line with my taste, but because of the stubborn old men in the architectural association, he has never received any big orders."
"The trends you think are outdated were also ignored in the past." Brenna thought for a moment and continued, "Maybe in fifty or a hundred years, the styles you think are beautiful now will be nothing but outdated."
"By then, you will be like those old stubborn people, insisting that the style you admire is the best."
"By the way." She paused for a moment and said, "You are a prince. You can change the so-called trend just by talking."
"Well, let's forget about this." William looked a little embarrassed. After all, this kind of thing requires frequent socializing to accomplish.
He is extremely busy every day and can only find some time to study what he likes.
I don't want to waste my time on meaningless things.
The conversation between the two stopped there, and soon they arrived at the main entrance of the Sisilaya Cafe.
"This building looks good." William was the first to express his opinion.
Although the style is still the same as that of the royal capital, it looks a little different, which brightens the eyes of William, who is tired of staying in the royal capital every day.
"Welcome back, Brianna!" Yun Mu, who had already detected them through blood perception, appeared in front of the door, still wearing the waiter uniform he would use for business later.
"Miss Yun!"
The moment Breanna saw Yun Mu, she took the initiative to walk up to her and then hugged her directly.
"You don't have to think of me that way." Yun Mu blinked and said half-jokingly.
"Of course!"
Brenna untied her arms, a happy smile on her face: "The capital is basically the same as before. It's not interesting at all."
"I wouldn't go back if it weren't for some additional material," she said.
"Haha." Yun Mu laughed dryly twice, then looked at Elena beside him, and -
"William?" Yun Mu recognized the second prince whom he had met before.
"Hey, long time no see, Miss Yun." William greeted her with a smile and said with emotion: "You and Brianna have a really good relationship."
"Uh" Somehow, Yun Mu suddenly felt strangely nervous.
It was as if her girlfriend's parents had come up to her. If she had to describe it, she would probably say it was the feeling of "the gaze from her brother-in-law."
"Hahaha, don't be nervous, I don't care!" William seemed to guess what she was thinking, and patted her shoulder with a laugh.
Asshole, what don't you care about?
Yun Mu wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only ask, "Why is Mr. William here?"
"No need to be so distant, just call me William." William waved his hand and said, "I just ran out from the capital to play for a while."
"Well, I heard that you are going to the Sea of Exile and the Shattered Star Sea. Can you take me with you?" he said.
"Are you serious?" Breanna looked at him and said, "We are not going out to play. If you encounter danger, we can't guarantee your safety."
"Besides, you are a prince."
Brianna paused before she finished her words. After all, if you think about it carefully, William is the second prince and she is the third princess.
Leaving the Frost Kingdom is something that is not allowed.
As a result, she has run out with Yun Mu several times.
In other words, her father didn't care about these things, as long as the people could come back safely. Besides, the Dark Night Church also secretly agreed with these things because of Yun Mu, so she could leave at will.
But William
"Hehe, I guessed you would say that." Just as Brianna was thinking about how to refuse William, he chuckled and took out a scroll from his arms.
"I have obtained an exit permit from my father," he said.
"Ah?" This time it was Brianna's turn to be a little surprised. She couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?"
“Of course it’s because—” William smiled proudly, and then released his own aura, which was actually at the third-level expert level!
"Anyway, I have my eldest brother in charge in the capital, so even if both of us die, we don't have to worry about the issue of succession. Besides, I am already an expert, so naturally I will be allowed to be released." William whistled proudly.
"By the way, my third-level profession was created by myself." He said, "Remember the group of lunatics that my brother and I investigated in the capital earlier?"
"Based on their research, I created a third-level job that is unique to me - [Rampage Knight!]"
"My characteristic is that others ride horses, but I ride a motorcycle!"
As William spoke, he put his hand on his waist, and a steam motorcycle that reflected a matte silver-gray luster in the sunlight appeared in front of Yun Mu and the others.
Oh my god, it’s a knight!
