In 851, two years after the signing of the Moon Treaty, Ankenrien and Roswell.

Ankenrien's ninth prince, Gary Gibson, sat on the thud and loud bull brand steam locomotive, leaned softly to the side and looked at the street outside the window. It has been two years since he left Roswell, but the city has not seemed to have changed much. The houses lined up on both sides of the stone road seemed to be the same as he left, and the expressions of the people walking on the streets did not seem to be much different from those two years ago.

"Your Highness, you will be in the Siyuan Spring in about twenty minutes. His Majesty the Emperor's carriage is waiting for you. Do you want to prepare it?"

Sitting opposite Gary Gibson was a young and beautiful girl with big eyes and white skin, shiny brown-black hair combed into two long braids, scattered from her shoulders. She was wearing a delicate and noble dress, with translucent silk mesh gloves, and pyroxene jewelry on her wrists and neck. A ray of light was reflected from time to time during the shaking of the car. Her name was Minronia Irving, fifteen years old, one of the granddaughters of Prime Minister Emile Irving, and the daughter of the first night recognized by Gary Gibson and the Emperor.

"What are I ready for?" After staying in Elena for two years, Gary Gibson seemed to have forgotten the complicated aristocratic etiquette. When he called him, he used the wrong noun and did not add respect for his little partner. However, Minronia didn't care. Since she was identified as Prince Gary Gibson's attendant by His Majesty the Emperor a year ago, she has been looking forward to today's meeting and is mentally prepared to be educated by Elena to be a rude and ignorant man. However, judging from the contact he had just passed, Prince Gary seemed to have retained basic royal qualities. Therefore, Minronia didn't care much about his little impoliteness.

"Change clothes, your outfit..."

Gary Gibson looked down and saw that he was wearing a labor shirt that almost everyone in Elena would wear. The fabric was thick, the style was simple, and it was strong and durable. Although the color was monotonous, this did not prevent Gary Gibson from liking it. He touched the buttons of his labor shirt and hesitated for a moment.

"Did you bring your clothes?"

"Um."

Minronia nodded obediently, took out a package from the box in the middle of the carriage, and opened it. It was a bright yellow dress inside, which was Gary Gibson's favorite dress.

Gary took the clothes and was about to change them, but found that Minronia had no intention of avoiding them. Her little face swayed slightly as the carriage shaking, gradually turning pink.

"You turn your head over," Gary Gibson hesitated for a moment and made his own suggestions. The little girl turned her head over obediently, but she had not forgotten to ask.

"You're there, don't they let you dress?"

"That's not true," Gary Gibson replied while changing his clothes, "Most of the clothes I brought with me were dresses and horseback clothes. They had to work there, whether it was farming or factory. After I broke a few pieces, I changed their clothes. Although they were not good-looking, you can't say it, they were quite durable."

"Then... does Gastens wear this kind of clothes too? They all say that in Elena, officials wear the same clothes as the people, and even Gastens, is that true?"

Although she has read poetry and received aristocratic education since childhood, the girl's curiosity still made Minronia ask questions she had always cared about. In Roswell and as the granddaughter of Emil Irving, her understanding of Elena can only come from hearsay and word of mouth. She naturally has strong curiosity for the man who changed the world situation by her own efforts.

"Well, indeed," Gary Gibson nodded, "There are people who wear good clothes there, but most of them are labor models, farming models, etc. The factories and village committees will reward those who work hard and work a lot, including cash and physical goods. These people are capable of buying better clothes and wearing them. As for officials, their officials are very interesting, and most people do not seem to have strong personal desires. Elena has a saying, "Terror is the first to endure hardship and enjoyment is the request of Gastens to the Communists, but because local government officials are all party members, it has become a requirement for officials. Most of their officials are different from our officials. They work hard and do not seek personal gain. They devote themselves to their work and always remember to set an example. In my opinion, if Elena had no religion, I would have thought these people were crazy believers in a sense."

"Hey, you can't make money, you can't make profits, and there is no emperor who can be loyal to you, so why should you be an official? Are you loyal to Gastens?" Minronia was very puzzled by the scene described by Gary. In her opinion, officials should dress better, eat better, and earn more than the people. Otherwise, who will become an official?

"I have also thought about this question. What exactly drives those people to put aside their personal interests, work hard and make selfless contributions? I think there is only one general answer now, which is faith. They may really believe in communism, so they have such a firm confidence and force field, probably."

While speaking, Gary Gibson had already changed his clothes. He reached out and pointed Ronya's knees, attracting her attention.

"How about it?"

Minronia looked at Gary Gibson who had changed into a dress, her eyes were a little stunning. Unlike her vague memories two years ago, Gary Gibson is now taller and thicker. His skin has also become darker, with a healthy redness on his face. Coupled with the new dress, she was a little dazzled for a moment.

"It seems pretty good."

Gary found the answer in Minronia's eyes. He chuckled and looked out the car window. Although two years have passed, steam cars are still a rare thing on the roads in Roswell. Many people are interested in his cattle used inside Elena, and some even chase after the car for a while. The guards arranged to defend Gary did not intervene too much in accordance with His Royal Highness' instructions, which allowed Gary to see the scene outside and everyone's reactions. His eyes slid past a passerby holding a wooden sign "Peace is not war" and looked at Minronia sitting opposite him.

"I heard that Elena's border has added troops. How many people are there now?"

"It should be about 800,000. I heard that there are 14 legions there, and many of them are new and can't even hold the gun."

"New recruits are also soldiers. The 800,000-strong front-line preparations are not counted as troops in other directions. Our economic pressure is definitely not small."

Gary said to himself that he knew these garrisons when he was in Elena. After the signing of the Moon Treaty, although Elena and several neighboring countries were making rapid progress, the armaments of neighboring countries were not pulled down. On Elena's Eastern Front, Ankenry's National Salvation Army did not disband after resolving the Roninger rebellion, but transformed into a national protection army and was stationed on the Elena Eastern Front. After that, more troops began to move in and build barracks, as if they were ready to live forever. On Elena's Western Front, the Republic of Negru also successively stationed more than twenty troops on the border, and also regarded Elena as the number one enemy.

"Those people protested against the garrison. Now there are many people in the cabinet that think that ordinary people cannot fight against the great magicians. Sending so many troops to the border is not only increased costs, but they are still massacred when fighting. More than once people have proposed to reduce the garrison on the border, and my grandfather is under great pressure now."

Although she is a girl, Minronia is not a girl who knows nothing. As the first female attendant of His Highness the Prince, she must have knowledge and abilities comparable to His Majesty the Prince. Therefore, although she did not prepare in advance, Minronia is still relatively clear about the recent trends in the government and the opposition.

"So these people won't be expelled? I'll just say, when will Roswell be able to raise signs on the street to protest the father, and the emotional cabinet is not unified."

Gary nodded and changed to a more comfortable position. The person holding the sign had disappeared from the window. He could already see the splashes of the homesick spring. It would not take long before he could see his father.

"Your Majesty's work is not easy to do. Some people in the cabinet have been calling for the abolition of the serfdom, or at least give equal human rights to serfs, which is also to deal with the long-standing trend of fugitive slaves. Moreover, in order to prevent serfs from escaping, many landlords in many places have begun to sign long-term contracts, partially paid wages, and even given certain human rights. In fact, our serf system is almost in name only. It is not so easy to buy and sell serfs like before Elena was established."

"Forcing reform."

Gary muttered a word but did not explain it much. He did not suffer any grievances in Elena, and even took Gastens to class in person. He knew the book "On Capital". Therefore, he also knew the problems Ankenry faced now.

"Your Highness, you're here."

The cow stopped, and the carriage swayed slightly, and someone opened the door. Gary Gibson opened the door and got out of the car, and saw his father at a glance. The gray-haired old man was wearing a gorgeous costume, standing next to the homesick Spring, smiling at him.

"Father!"

After all, he was still a teenager. No matter how strong and intelligent he was, Gary was still a little choked when he saw his father whom he had not met for a long time. He walked forward a few steps, grabbed his father's hand, held it tightly, then took a step back, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head.

"Sons meet with the father."

"Get up."

Paul Gibson helped up his young son and looked at him carefully. Elena's two years had changed him. When he left, the white and clean boy had turned into a dark and strong young man. The young man was smiling and looking at Paul Gibson, tears in the corners of his eyes were shaking slightly, and it was still not dropping.

"Let's go, come, we're going and saying that we have already ordered you to cook food, and your mother is anxious to wait and get in the car."

After pulling Gary two steps, Paul took him onto a carriage carriage carved with royal badges. The high cabin and soft spring shock absorbing made the two of them sway significantly when they got onto the cabin. Getting used to the hard shock absorbing of the cabin, Gary was a little uncomfortable. He stroked the backrest of the cabin and sat next to his father.

"How is it? Are you wronged over there? What did Gastens think? How dare you let you back?"

As soon as he sat down, Paul couldn't wait to ask. In front of his son, he did not hide his emotions much.

"It's okay. I'm a little uncomfortable when I first went there, but Gastens is not bad for me. He doesn't have special care, but he doesn't have any special difficulties. He just treats me as an ordinary person from Elena. This feeling is very novel and interesting. Moreover, they really treat me as an ordinary person."

"It's good that you're not wronged. Why did you get back? What did Gastens say? What does it mean?"

"Just say I've been two years ago, so I should have asked me to go home and see it. There seems to be no other meaning," Gary frowned and thought, "I'm not sure. Actually, when I was in Elena, I spent most of my time outside the Elena Plain and could not touch their core secrets. Judging from the situation outside, Elena doesn't seem to have big moves recently."

"He is so kind?" Paul obviously didn't believe it. He picked up the two moon plums in the middle of the carriage, ate one by himself, and handed it to Gary one.

"I'm not sure, but it's definitely not a bad thing to come back, so I'll come back."

Gary took Yuemei and put it in her mouth with some nostalgia. This fruit was produced in the Third Republic of Vern. The damage rate when transported was high and expensive. It was not a fruit that you could eat frequently.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back," Paul relaxed. "I've had a hard time recently. The cabinet has always had opinions about the garrison. Those nouveau riche who relied on the trade of Elena, and several great nobles who started with industry, didn't like my serfdom and wanted to reform. Emil Irving is not bad, and has always been on my side, but I don't think he can hold on for long. You've been in Elena for so long and have seen their production model and communism. Tell me, what would Ankenryin go next?"

Hearing his father's question, Gary was stunned. He looked at his father carefully, but he did not find any jokes on his father's face. On the contrary, he saw more wrinkles and slightly frown brows. Even the emperor seemed to be unable to do everything well. Thinking of this, Gary no longer hesitated and gave his own answer.
