“Oh? Do you know what it is exactly?”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray leaned slightly forward, showing a curious expression.
“My Lord, I’m not sure about the specifics.”
Shaking his head helplessly, Gregg took a sip of the steaming hot tea before continuing, “However, judging by Princess and the two Kingdom Generals’ solemn expressions, that matter must be very important.”
“Understood. Let’s leave this question to Maid Celeste who is closer to Ariel.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Right, those two Kingdom Generals who came with Ariel, Giant Axe General Burt and Holy Light General Joshua, both have an army under their command, right? Where are their soldiers now?”
“My Lord, due to the increasingly fierce struggle between the three princes in the Royal Capital, all major fortresses leading to the Royal Capital have been sealed off, and the entire area is on a war alert. Furthermore, it is said that the seriously ill old king personally issued the order, forbidding anyone from mobilizing the eight legions under the royal family.”
On the other side, Gregg put down the empty teacup in his hand and spoke with a solemn expression, “Therefore, the two Kingdom Generals who stand on the same side as the princess had no choice but to follow her alone. Otherwise, they would also be in danger of assassination from the other princes.” Get full chapters from novel★fire.net
“Has it gotten to the point where the entire Royal Capital is under full lockdown? No wonder the news has been slow…”
While motioning to the respectful Abigail to refill the tea, Leo Ray frowned and continued, “What is the current situation in the Royal Capital?”
“My Lord, the situation is very bad.”
Gregg let out a sigh, shook his head and replied, “Undercurrents are surging within the vast Royal Capital, with murder plots lurking everywhere. Almost every day, there are large and small conflicts taking place, and blood spills like a river.
The situation is so severe that even large-scale attack magic, which is forbidden within the Royal Capital, is frequently used, resulting in many buildings and innocent civilians being affected.”
After saying that, Gregg took another big sip of tea and went on, “Meanwhile, several affiliated cities around the Coldflame Royal Family’s territory have seen military confrontations under the command of different princes,
Even leading to direct armed clashes, causing large-scale battles to frequently erupt in the surrounding areas of the Royal Capital.”
“Wow, it’s become a total mess, huh?”
Hearing that, Leo Ray shook the teacup in his hand, gazing at the ripples inside the cup, and smiled faintly, “However, this also provides me with an excellent opportunity for growth.”
“My Lord is right. Now the three princes have become desperate, and with the old king being seriously ill and powerless, the circumstances are indeed very favorable for us.”
On the other side, Gregg nodded respectfully and promptly responded.
“Alright, Gregg, you shouldn’t stay here for too long. Let’s end our discussion for now.”
After finishing the tea in his cup, Leo Ray spoke again, “As for the matter of meeting Bella earlier, just tell her that we mistook her for someone else. Go back and act as if nothing happened. If you find out anything new, notify me through Mind Talk.”
At this stage, Leo Ray naturally couldn’t provide equipment for Gregg, as that would only complicate matters.
After finishing speaking, Gregg stood up and bowed respectfully. After bidding farewell to Bella, he left the room.
“Alright, now it’s time to win over Maid Celeste.”
With a faint smile at his subordinates, Leo Ray also stood up and stretched,
“Presumably, as Ariel’s personal maid, she should know what this so-called ‘matter’ is.”
At the surrounding area of Cyan Town’s Lord’s Mansion, there is a vacant building belonging to Sanders’ Trading Conference.
Under the dazzling night sky, the lively streets were filled with people coming and going, and the atmosphere was filled with joyful laughter and harmonious scenes.
As a commercial town, Cyan Town always has a dense flow of people. Moreover, with Leo Ray’s elimination of the evil mercenaries on the streets and his various extravagant policies to attract businesses,
The town has become even more prosperous recently.
At the entrance of this luxurious building, Abigail and Amelia stood with a young woman also dressed in black and white maid attire.
Upon closer inspection, the young maid had fair and delicate features, with clean and neat ear-length hair,
A longsword was tied around her waist, and her slender body was exuding an extraordinary aura, clearly indicating that she had reached the Tier Third.
Undoubtedly, she was Ariel’s personal maid Celeste.
The reason for Celeste’s appearance here is related to Ariel herself.
Since coming to Cyan Town, Ariel had been cooped up in the City Lord Mansion and was extremely bored.
She had repeatedly contacted Gideon Black, who was stationed here, requesting him to inform Leo Ray if she could venture outside in disguise. However, her requests had been ruthlessly denied by Leo Ray.
This time, Leo Ray had granted the princess’s wish,
However, on the condition that she could only be accompanied by the two Kingdom Generals, Gideon Black, Linda, and Mason Banks.
Of course, Serena and Stella, who were hidden in the dark, were also accompanying her.
In this way, with three Tier 4 Senior Powerhouses and four Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouse by Ariel’s side, her safety could be greatly ensured.
What’s more crucial is that along with Celeste, the other four personal maids were left behind in the City Lord Mansion.
Everything afterwards became easy to handle.
As long as Celeste was informed that her family members had already returned to Cyan Town, she would naturally find a way to come out on her own.
“Sisters, are they… really inside?”
At this moment, Celeste, who was standing at the entrance, had a face full of anticipation as she asked Abigail and Amelia.
“Rest assured, our Lord personally made a trip after getting to know about your situation.”
On the other side, Abigail smiled and replied.
Nodding gratefully, Celeste took a deep breath and slowly knocked on the door.
Following that, faint footsteps could be heard.
The door creaked open, revealing a small figure at the entrance, her face full of confusion.
