Calia Empire Alliance Headquarters, a sleepless night.
A common carriage was parked at the door, with two spirited white horses, looking gradually at the approaching girl.
Jason escorted her all the way.
Since the prince had gone to the dungeon, this should be the first time he has gone somewhere other than the palace.
The carriage was small, seating two people would be a bit crowded.
Jason said, "We have another car here."
"No need," the Third Prince refused.
He didn't get into the carriage, but mounted the horse, grasping the reins with both hands. His black robe was blown up by the wind, and the guards who came to escort him all saw the man's profile.
According to rumors, the third prince, whose face was extremely ugly, had his face covered with enchantments under the cover of the night. The elusive black teardrops on his face added a sense of mystery. His scarlet eyes, like those of a captive demon, also exuded a sense of haughty aloofness. Words like bloodthirsty, violent, and criminal were always associated with his name.
It is said that the steward of the underground city has the most dangerous job in the entire empire.
But tonight, he came in person.
Jason felt confused. Did their third prince completely trust this alien girl? This time, he entrusted her with the most important authority of the underground city.
The chubby slime lay on the ground, indicating for Yuxiao to step on it.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then stepped lightly on it and sat in the carriage.
Raising her head, she saw the man's back.
The hood was blown off, and at that moment, his white tousled hair danced in the moonlight.
Thinking of the things he said in the reception room...
A hint of gratitude appeared in Yuxiao's eyes. She knew that As was coming out this time because of her.
The slime also jumped on. It straightened its body and said to Jason, "Before sunset tomorrow, we must see the kingdom's documents."
"I understand."
"Let's go." The man on horseback suddenly said.
But it was clear that he was not greeting the guards. This sentence was just a reminder for the girl to hold on.
He pulled the reins, and the horse started to run.
All the guards bowed, sending off the departure of the third prince.
Strangely, although his carriage was so shabby for an imperial prince, no one dared to have any teasing thoughts.
It was as if his presence there made him the most noble existence in the world.
The long street at night was sparsely populated. Yuxiao looked at the towering shadow of the trees as they swept by, and murmured, "Thank you for coming specially."
The third prince did not respond.
The slime said, "My lady Yuxiao, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, remember to inform the master. Our Lord, Lode, will surely support you!"
It had noticed that the master was very concerned about Lady Yuxiao.
This was the best. The current situation of the underground city was slowly getting on track, and the slime felt that no one was more suitable to serve as the steward of the underground city than Yuxiao!
This incident quickly spread throughout the entire empire.
The most shocking thing for people was that a kingdom was about to be established in the underground city—
Although it was normal for the princes to establish a kingdom, the one in the underground city was different from the others.
At least among the three princes of the Callia Empire, only the third prince had established a kingdom.
But this also indicated that the heir to the future king could not be the third prince.
As for the Alliance Department, many high-ranking officials were scared and used all their abilities to complete the tasks announced by the third prince in the shortest time.
Foreign diplomats of other kingdoms, who usually would have to go through lengthy procedures, had all their matters settled overnight under the pressure of the third prince.
It was said that all the senior officials went to the underground city.
But in the end, only the minister of the Alliance Department was left behind.
It was not until the sun rose the next day that he was seen leaving the underground city, barely awake.
This state of affairs continued for a full five days.
Combined with his previous intentional negligence of the steward lady, everyone seemed to understand why this lofty and influential minister was repeatedly sent to the underground city...
As a result, no one in the entire Alliance Department, or even the entire Callia Empire, dared to ignore the steward of the underground city anymore.
Because behind her stood Lord Lode.
And Lord Lode symbolized the unshakeable royal power of the Callia Empire.
But after that, Yuxiao did not actively pursue it. After all, there were too many things happening in the underground city.
...
"Lady Yuxiao," a young soldier came.
He was leading a carriage with a large covered cage on top.
"This was sent by Mr. Rocco. Please take a look. If you don't like it, I'll take it back."
Mr. Rocco?
Yuxiao, who had come out of the small restaurant, walked to the carriage and watched as the soldier pulled back the black cloth.
In the dim underground city, it was as if a white light flashed as she saw two white unicorn cubs in the cage. They looked like they were just born, standing at the edge of the cage, their pair of shiny black eyes curiously looking at her.
Unicorns were creatures of legend, resembling horses, with an all-white body and a horn on their heads. They could run on the ground and even fly into the sky.
Yu Xiaoxiao happily said, "Please convey to Lord Roko that I really like this gift!"
The current underground city only has two ordinary horses.
Raising a unicorn, the Third Prince will be much more imposing during his outings in the future.
The soldiers brought down the cage and said, "They can now eat grass and leaves, we have prepared two large boxes here, we will send them to you after they have finished eating."
The unicorn has just turned three months old and has already weaned.
Yu Xiaoxiao held one of them in her arms, unable to let go.
This little unicorn had a moist look in its eyes, looking particularly endearing.
As if it had taken Yu Xiaoxiao as its mother, it buried its head in her arms and gently rubbed against her.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked, "What are their names?"
"The Lord Roko said that as they belong to the underground city, it's natural for Miss Steward to give them their names."
Yu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Let's call one Bolo and the other Cai Cai."
The soldier: "...."
What strange names...
After the soldier left, Yu Xiaoxiao brought the "Bocai" two unicorns to a small restaurant.
They were very spiritual, not making a fuss at all, like two little puppies following behind the young lady.
The snow-white fur seemed to shine wherever they went.
The red elf who was cleaning saw them and showed an envious look.
Unicorns - so beautiful!
"Luo Luo, make a space available for them to stay temporarily," Yu Xiaoxiao said.
She opened the Yi Neng interface, studied the map, and finally selected a stable behind the small restaurant specifically used for raising unicorns.
The red elf hastily said, "They are still very small, and there is a corner under the attic on the second floor, which is just right for them to stay."
After speaking, it showed a embarrassed look.
The attic was As's territory.
Without much thought, Yu Xiaoxiao took one unicorn in her arms and went upstairs.
At this time, the slime ran back from outside.
It had a black box on its head and rushed to Yu Xiaoxiao's side like a gust of wind.
"The Alliance Department has brought the national seal!!"
"And according to the instructions of Lady Xiaoxiao, the national flag has been made."
"They are all here!"
Yu Xiaoxiao first opened the black box and looked at the seal. It was engraved with the word "Flame."
She then unfolded the neatly stacked flag, black base with a flame symbol on top, surrounded by five red stars underneath.
Black represents the night, flame represents the fire, and the stars correspond to starlight.
Seeing this flag, a slight smile appeared on Yu Xiaoxiao's lips. She thought that when it was first designed, it was a complete "copy" of their own national flag.
Later, the order of the stars was moved from the right side to the bottom, which made it less similar.
The finished product was now very good indeed.
"Tell the Alliance Department that we can hang our national flag tomorrow. Also, ask them to distribute the recruitment legion text that was previously written," she said.
The Flame Kingdom was officially established.
Its flag fluttered on the flagpole at the headquarters along with the flags of other kingdoms.
Different from other kingdoms, it was the closest to the royal capital, right under everyone's feet! Voices of discussion rose and fell for a while.
"The Flame Kingdom? In the underground city?"
"I thought my uncle was joking with me, but I didn't expect the Flame Kingdom to actually be established!"
"That steward of the underground city is really something. So many people at the headquarters are busy for her alone. Otherwise, how could the kingdom's flag have been raised so quickly?"
"They seem to be recruiting legions—"
"I don't think anyone will go. That place has been abandoned for so long, with no benefits. Why would anyone go there? One person doing the work of ten!"
"Don't be so sure. What if the Flame Kingdom really rises in the future?"
"Impossible, the Flame Kingdom is right under the royal capital, how could the royal family let it rise. It's just a toy for the king's favorite son."
"The steward?"
"Yes. This steward is eighteen years old and comes from a backward planet in the galaxy. Since she became a steward, she has been working hard, and the underground city is much better now than before. And for the establishment of this kingdom, this young lady is not well received. Thus, the Third Prince personally intervened."
...In front of the French window, a man in black military uniform stood there with his hands behind his back, watching the rising sun outside.
His emerald eyes were deep and charming, like amber.
"He actually walked out of the underground city."
"Yeah, it's really unbelievable. Prince Lord hates contact with humans the most, but that day he caused quite a stir in the entire League. I heard even the cowards were scared to death! And, the third prince said in person that this steward miss will fully represent him in handling the affairs of the kingdom."
The man reporting the situation rubbed his hands and looked puzzled: "The third prince has never trusted anyone so much."
"Is that alien girl really reliable? The third prince has handed all the authority over to her, and His Majesty the King did not object to it."
"Father, everything will follow his lead."
"Now that the Flame Kingdom has been established, we should find an opportunity to congratulate them. What do you say, Vira?"
