Richard walked toward the Fire Spirit Queen after stepping down from the carriage.
The others couldn't help but admit that he truly deserved to be recognized as the number one genius of the Human Race.
His charisma, aura, and flawless appearance made it difficult for anyone to refute him if he claimed to be unrivaled.
"Your Majesty, after not seeing you for so long, you've become even more beautiful," Richard said.
He was still under the influence of the wine, so he didn't bother restraining himself, even in front of everyone.
The Fire Spirit Queen was momentarily stunned by the compliment.
The palace elders exchanged puzzled glances. People didn't speak to each other like that unless they were extremely close.
Could there be another relationship between them besides mere acquaintances?
Was this grand reception truly just a formality because of Richard's identity?
