People can change a lot without realizing it, and Alicia is just like that now. However, Alicia herself is completely unaware of this.

She didn't know why it turned out like this. At this time, Jill seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "Maybe it's because I've been with Xu Zhen all the time? After all, Alicia is actually the oldest among us, right?"

"Ah, that's true. There will naturally be more opportunities to act in this way."

Oliver listened to Jill's words and agreed. Not only was Alicia older, but she also had the most experience as an adventurer, so this result seemed reasonable. Moreover, a few months was enough for this behavior pattern to become fixed.

"In the past few months, Alicia may be the most powerful one." Oliver didn't say this to anyone, he just whispered to himself, and no one noticed the bitter expression on Russell's face at that moment.

"Anyway! We're going to see the Queen next, right? Let's go!"

"Okay, okay, got it, calm down." Alicia tried to change the subject quickly, and Jill gently comforted her. As they thought about this, Russell and the other four walked towards the palace again.

I thought Russell finally smiled, but his expression was still a little gloomy, which the other three did not notice.

The palace was under construction everywhere, and many parts were obviously damaged. The three people except Alicia opened their eyes wide and continued to move towards the queen's room.

Queen Felini, who greeted them, smiled but could not completely hide her deep fatigue. Under the worried gazes of Russell and the others, Felini slowly stood up and bowed politely.

"Welcome. As you can see, the palace is still under restoration and is not in good condition..."

"No, we should be the ones feeling sorry for not being able to arrive in time. If we could have arrived in the capital earlier... it would be too embarrassing to see you."

"Your kindness alone is enough." Felini's smile seemed to lack some strength. Russell felt a strong regret in his heart, wondering why he was not there at that time.

Although this is a thing of the past, and dwelling on it is useless, he seems to understand this, but whether he can feel at peace with it is another matter.

"I also heard from Alicia and the guild master about the princess losing control. To be honest, I don't know how to express my feelings..."

“No, it’s so embarrassing.”

Oliver scratched his face and said awkwardly, and Felini sighed deeply. The atmosphere was a little heavy, making people feel unbearable.

Jill was eager to resolve this awkward situation. She thought hard and finally asked a question: "Um, is Lord Austin awake? We are discussing whether we should go visit him together."

Jill was deliberately bright and exaggerated, and her voice was sometimes out of tune because of her excitement. Despite this, Felini still didn't point it out in particular, but just smiled gently.

“Thank you. Austin woke up late last night. Please go check on him if you can.”

"Really? We were discussing visiting, but if he just woke up, maybe it would be better to leave him alone and let him rest..."

When Russell tried to be humble, Felini shook her head quietly. “He wouldn’t be bored if he had someone to chat with. And he would definitely be happier if Mr. Russell and Mr. Oliver, who know Austin, were around.”

"Understood."

After listening to Felini's words, Russell agreed. He was actually looking forward to meeting Austin.

They met through the Adventurer's Guild and had in-depth exchanges as fellow swordsmen. Despite their different identities, they recognized each other as good opponents.

Leaving the Queen's room and walking in the corridor of the palace, Russell was thinking in his heart. Suddenly, he realized something: "... Is it really a rash decision to go to see him? I'm worried that he may not want us to see his pitiful appearance..."

"That's nothing. Let's go and cheer the prince up!" Oliver said lightly, and Jill smiled amusedly: "Sure enough, people who know each other have different opinions."

"Although I am honored, please don't make fun of me."

"I know. We just encourage Lord Austin as friends in battle. That's it, right?"

Facing Jill's question, Russell bowed his head to express his gratitude. As they talked, they came to Austin's room. When they arrived there, Russell and his friends couldn't help but stop.

"Hey, what is that? Is there a cat guarding the door?" Oliver opened his eyes wide and stared at the creature standing in front of the door. To be precise, this was not an ordinary cat, but a young killer tiger subspecies.

Since there was no hostility, it might not be dangerous, but what should I do? Russell was thinking about this.

"Hi, Barney."

"Hmm? ... Meow, meow..." Alicia greeted calmly, and the subspecies cub cried happily. Then it jumped over, and Alicia also hugged it with a smile.

The subspecies cub seemed very comfortable with her chin being gently scratched or stroked, and was completely dependent on Alicia. If someone introduced it as her pet, they would easily believe it.

On the other hand, Russell and the other two stood there blankly. Although they barely thought that it might be an acquaintance, their brains were not quick enough, and Jill and Oliver just stood there motionless.

Russell felt that he had to get to the bottom of things and was about to ask Alicia when the door of the room opened.

"Barney, is anyone here...Oh, it's Alicia!"

"Hi, Thad. We're here to visit Austin, is that okay?"

Alicia asked the surprised Ced as she put Barney down. Ced took the approaching Barney and replied with a smile: "Ah, of course. My brother just woke up, you must go see him."

Saying this, Seid opened the door and invited them in. Russell and the others were still confused, but they still felt that they should go in, so they started to move.

"...You'll have to explain it to me later." Jill muttered to Alicia in a low voice, and Alicia nodded with a wry smile.

"Brother, guests are here." Said said to Austin who was sitting on the bed. The four people who came in bowed slightly. Austin's eyes widened when he saw Russell.
