With that in mind, Ryuto nodded knowingly.
"Let's go, it's getting late, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor is waiting for us."
"Huh..."
What? The most vicious criminal in the country is waiting for us? Why? I don't even know that person, I don't want to go, that's the most vicious criminal in the country.
Although he wanted to refuse...
If he refused here, he would probably be tied up and dragged away, so he reluctantly agreed for now. As for the next step, he could only take action when the time was right, and run away immediately once the opportunity arose, no matter how people behind him shouted, he must never look back.
You know, this is the basic principle of running away.
So, with this belief in mind, Ryuto followed Kurebisu Kureia towards the prison, no, towards the white building ahead.
"This way."
Led by Kurebisu Kureia all the way, Ryuto and the others finally arrived at the entrance of a large room after turning countless corners. The reason why it was called a large room was because the area of the door was as big as two doors, the kind that had to be pushed open from the middle, and even one door was larger than ordinary doors.
The prison now is really luxurious.
With that thought in mind, Ryuto followed closely behind Kurebisu Kureia, who then pushed open the door.
Upon entering and taking a look.
Huh? It wasn't as Ryuto had imagined. There were no small cells for imprisoning criminals here, nor were there prison uniforms that needed to be changed, no, they were uniforms specially designed for criminals, with a large letter "PRISONER" written on the back...
Why did he inexplicably think of a historical drama from a certain dynasty...
"A dining room?"
After seeing the scene in front of him, Ryuto couldn't help but murmur softly.
But calling it a dining room didn't seem quite right, because the entire large room only had a long table that could accommodate about a dozen people dining at the same time, with several meters long.
Most of the remaining space was empty, with only a few pots of plants placed in the corner of the wall and several abstract paintings hanging on the wall that Ryuto couldn't understand, probably very valuable.
This place is even more upscale than a Western restaurant.
Oh...
Just as Ryuto was amazed by the dining environment of the criminals in this country.
"Huh? Stupid brother?"
A familiar voice came from behind.
"Huh? Asuka?"
Ryuto turned his head back and was surprised to see the three people who had been missing for a long time.
So...
The reunited group sat around the table.
"Asuka, what are you doing here?"
Ryuto asked.
"Just got stopped on the way back to the hotel by the other party, what about you? Why is stupid brother here?"
Asuka concealed the events at the television station.
To this.
"Oh, I... come to think of it, I was also summoned by the other party after returning to the hotel."
Ryuto also concealed what happened at the auction house.
"In that case, someone deliberately brought all of us here? For something?"
Katsuragi Reimi said thoughtfully.
"Yes, it is I who have sought you out."
A voice suddenly came from somewhere.
Ryuto naturally turned back.
But...
"Huh?"
He exclaimed.
"You're not the same as before..."
A pure white twin-tailed girl nodded slightly.
"Yes, I am the one who was previously rescued by you all, I must express my thanks here."
She said, slightly bowing her head.
"Ah, it's nothing."
Ryuto smiled and scratched the back of his head, but soon had a question.
"By the way, you being here is quite a coincidence."
At that moment, Kreves Clelia walked forward.
"Your Highness, these are the ones."
He said.
"Huh? Your Highness?"
Ryuto, upon hearing the response, couldn't help but sound surprised.
In response.
"Yes, indeed, despite not being our first encounter, I have yet to properly introduce myself to everyone. Although it may be a bit late, it's better late than never."
The young girl waved her white sleeves, then with a calmness that didn't match her age, she spoke again.
"Yes, I am the Holy Sovereign of this country, Elizabeth Alice."
