The Queen Of The Zodiac
Ex-Chapter 4: A Brief Expedition

...Elite Training Building...

...8 March 1928...

There was no time off for Yuri when Yuri had returned.This was because Reginald brought the important news that the Vermilion Kingdom had a recruitment schedule for elite knight members.

To be honest if you think about it even though there is Charles and Leona as captain and vice-captain there and they are quite strong, Yuri needs more members.

Yuri immediately understood this thanks to he had served as the director of ETP. And this is where Yuri is, training elite knight candidates, those who are chosen are those who are ready to serve and serve the country.

Yuri waited for a speech from Reginald against the elite knight candidates while checking each of his great knight candidates, of course using Ai gadget.

After a few speeches Yuri finally gets a chance to talk, while Yuri is talking to give directions and information about training, he said,Yuri saw one of the girls she knew very well and the young girl smiled at him.

Yuri's heart felt light when she saw the young girl and also felt relieved.

But Yuri hid it so as not to provoke suspicion or strange things that could make him a silly person.

"alright... Since you already understand, I will divide into three groups. " Say Yuri.

Yuri took the chalk provided by Reginald and turned around to write down the names of each individual and the names of the groups according to the information from Reginald.

"alright... Just this much, I didn't ask for much just doing an expedition.. For the assessment I leave it to the vermilion captain and the vermilion representative." Yuri Imbuh.

Yuri then ends with a good ending and Yuri returns to where she originally sat.

Yuri made a hand symbol to Reginald who was there and ordered the three chosen people who became the guides of each group.

Right, those three people were Kylea Harriet, Pale Mindson and Han Mingjun.

After it was over, Yuri called Reginald to come to him and Reginald saluted and of course said "Is there anything I can help your majesty? ".

"To be honest Reginald, I was curious about that kid who looked like me and I felt something special, please take care of him...I sent her on the Beta team" Pinta Yuri.

"All right, your majesty.." Reply Reginald.

Reginald saluted very sincerely and he went out of this building, leaving only Leona, Charles and a few soldiers devoted to guarding here.

"Charles.. " Say Yuri.

"? was?Is he noble? what was? " Reply Charles.

Yuri seemed to think for a moment then he took out a paper that contained the candidate for the elite knight candidate and read it again.

"Charles, tell me when you recommended the young girl to me.. " Said Yuri.

Charles nodded and began to fix his small square-shaped glasses.

"This was actually a long time ago, before you served as Empress, in the Vermilion Kingdom. "

Charles stopped his words and he cleared his throat, Leona who understood Charles's intentions immediately moved out and it seemed like the soldiers inside he told him to follow him no matter what Leona would tell him.

"Thank you Charles, now go on. " Say Yuri.

Charles nodded slowly while saying the word "Good noble".

"So this young girl who recognized her name as Jade Crustacea.... How to explain it." - Charles.

Charles then looked like there was an idea or something that he remembered, he then reached into his small waist bag and picked up a small book,then he began to open the pages one by one until it seemed he found the right page.

"According to my records, this Jade is a skilled, patient, very tenacious and also proficient in combat..." Charles.

"His ability is actually equivalent to mine even more, if I can say his ability is also beyond human reason" he said.

Yuri nodded her head and then she began to think, Yuri was not surprised by what Charles said, the ability beyond human reason, even though humans have magic though.

According to Yuri's calculations, if what Charles said was true then the team that came first was the team that had Jadeenya. Yuri estimated the time also only takes 2 hours because normally the expedition given by Yuri is very simple, expedition that uses not only strength but also thought.

Yuri looked at Charles with a confused face looking at him.

"Don't worry Charles, I'm only interested in this kid. "

Charles was like he was relieved after Yuri said the word, it just so happened that Leona had come carrying a package of food that seemed very delicious, could be felt from the aroma.

"Hmm, Verstick Chuckle, the atmosphere immediately felt Leona. " Said Charles.

Leona laughed when she heard Charles say.

"I know, we haven't eaten yet so I brought Verstick Chuckle as our snack. " Said Leona.

Verstick Chuckle is a very tasty speciality Vermilion food, the ingredients are also simple. The word these food people were actually created by an adventurer from Vermilion and actually this food was specifically for adventurers, since this food was already famous then this food was considered universal.

In short, these ingredients consist of three fresh meats, two petals of Milia Flower as a seasoning and a seed potato.

That is what Charles, Leona and Yuri feel when biting Verstick with a slow, fragrant and savory taste mixed in the mouth especially if the person who is a spicy hobby is one of the foods that are suitable to be felt.

Not only that, Leona also brought Sweet Omelette, omelet mixed by honey and as a topping are grains of sunflower that have been processed into powder. For the level of sweetness is adjusted from the order requested.

Sweet omelette itself is also a special product from the Daily Cafe, Vermilion Kingdom.

If you discuss food there are many food products to be proud of in Vermilion, maybe Yuri will be dizzy if you keep thinking about it.

Yuri, Leona and Charles had finished eating and with the intention of the heart, Charles would bring the container that could still be used again.

"Leona thanks for the food, Charles thanks for telling me. "

Charles and Leona nodded and saluted Yuri, they both immediately left to take care of the food, medicine and other supplies for the Vermilion Kingdom as well as the Emerald Kingdom later.

While Yuri, Yuri immediately walked to the throne room, but it was very unfortunate and also according to Yuri's expectations to see the group led by Han Mingjun as a guide.

"Seeing from your expression, you are very confused and also amazed right? " Say Yuri.

This twenty-seven-year-old woman nodded in agreement.

"Your highness, this kid's ability to go on an expedition is not a play. " Reply Mingjun.

Mingjun placed the sack containing the Silver Titanium close to where Yuri was standing.

Yuri slightly bent her body to look at the contents of the sack and sure enough it was the real Silver Titanium, thanks to Ai's help of course she could do a scanning method that even Mingjun did not know, he said,if in Mingjun's position, he only saw Yuri staring at that thing for a long time.

"This is a short and even instant expedition..I'd better wait for tomorrow. " Inner Yuri.

Yuri straightened her body again and looked at Mingjun and then towards Jade.

"Well we wait for the others first yes and Jade comes with me for a while, you can disperse already. " Say Yuri.

"Okay, your majesty! " Say Mingjun spirit.

Yuri then gives Jade a cue to follow him, Jade just follow what Yuri told her, not knowing what happened next, whether Jade is Charlotte in disguise or not,he must quickly find out.
