The news of Sean's entry into the city began to spread wildly throughout the royal capital.

Many, especially young girls, are eager to see for themselves the man who has played the lead role in countless bard poems and novels. Of course, it would be better if you could have some wonderful encounters and stories with him. However, these are just the romantic fantasies of the common girls, and there will be no more than ten people who are really qualified to contact or meet this Grand Duke smoothly in the entire King of Lane.

Sean did not stay in the Emerald Castle, which was reserved for the Prince, the Grand Duke, and the Duke of Expatriation.

This Emerald Fort was transformed from two fortresses next to the palace that were previously reserved for the envoys of the Millennium Covenant Empire after Ryan was promoted to a kingdom. The castle, which is no less luxurious than the royal palace, has 50 three-room suites for 10 people, with four entrances and exits to the front and right of the castle, as well as three underground passages for escape. Because of the palace guards stationed next to it, the castle did not have an outer wall, but this also made the castle extremely well guarded.

According to the purpose of the establishment of the Emerald Castle, as long as the nobles have the title of duke or above, and have not purchased any real estate in the king, they can live here. However, each nobleman could only bring a maximum of ten guards, and the excess could only be arranged in the inns and hotels near the Emerald Castle, which in some ways promoted the accommodation economy of the royal capital - after all, no nobleman would not like to talk about pomp.

Of course, Sean may be an exception.

Many nobles who received the news that Sean, the Lord of Miracles, the Grand Duke of the Void, and the Exorcist Hero, had entered the royal capital, thinking that Sean must have moved into the Emerald Castle. So they came uninvited, and for a while, there was a long queue outside the Emerald Castle.

But their ridiculous ideas are destined to be disappointed.

"How do you know those people are going to look for you at Emerald Castle?" Alexis stood by a window. If you look out from this window, if you have good eyesight, you can still see the Emerald Castle thousands of kilometers away.

"Because those people are a pack of jackals." Sean sneered disdainfully, "These are some small nobles who don't have much real power, and the best of them may be able to get a small piece of territory, but it is estimated that it is only one or two villages." …… Now that the royal capital is surging, the three most powerful contenders for the throne are trying to increase their power by all means, hoping to win over more nobles. It's just that no one is trying to win over these little nobles. ”

"Why?" Alexis was a little puzzled, "Isn't it true that the more people, the better?" ”

"It depends on the situation." Sean said lightly, "Let's put it this way." A hundred I challenge you, can you win? ”

"It's effortless." It's not that Alexis is arrogant, but she does have this strength: let alone a hundred Sean, even five hundred she can solve. It's just that it takes a little more time.

"So. Those people are worthless. Sean said lightly, "That convoy is estimated to be only thirty or forty nobles, and how many of them have territories and real jobs?" No matter how many fictitious nobles have no territory and no real position, they are not as good as a viscount who has real power in the royal capital. Speaking of this, the disdain on Sean's face became even more obvious: "These people just want to keep their false titles, to show their superiority over civilians." …… I don't want to think about how many of them are even inferior to ordinary civilians. ”

Alexis shrugged. She was not at all interested in the political content. It was Sean who told her that there might be a lot of enemies on this trip that would allow her to kill enough. Satisfy her inner killing**, that's why she will come with Sean, and will refrain from killing Lorendath at the city gate**.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Alexis didn't make any movements, as if there was something very attractive outside the window, and she looked out the window with interest at everything in the royal capital. Sean sighed a little helplessly, of course he knew that this was a sign of Alexis' strike, but thinking that she was not his servant, he could only get up and open the door himself.

As soon as Sean opened the door, he smelled a faint fragrance wafting towards him.

Standing outside the door was none other than Archduke Garrod, one of Asuna's three followers, Elizabeth, nicknamed "Daughter of Thunder". Batian.

"Rare guest!" Sean was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and welcomed Elizabeth to the room with a smile.

Elizabeth looked down-and-out and walked into the room along Sean's sideways body, but her eyes lit up slightly when she saw Alexis. But soon, he covered up this look, turned his head to Sean next to him and smiled: "The Grand Duke of the Void is still so romantic, every time there are always all kinds of extremely excellent women around him." ”

"Miss Elizabeth is also a very good woman." Sean smiled and closed the door, then responded, "But it's a shame that Miss Elizabeth was able to find me here." …… I thought not many people knew where I lived. ”

"There are not many people who know where you live, and those old nobles who have lived in the royal capital for a long time have their own eyeliner." Elizabeth ignored the words that Sean was teased against, and then replied with a smile, "But there are not many who dare to come to the door to disturb." …… I'm here to pass on a message to you, Lord Asuna. ”

Seeing Elizabeth's silence after saying this, Sean could roughly guess what Asuna had asked Elizabeth to be the messenger for.

"Miss Asuna...... Did you choose a camp too? Sean sighed lightly, then said slowly, "You know, I don't want to get involved in this fight. In fact, not only me, but also Miss Asuna has enough strength to choose not to get involved, because I am as noble as the Grand Duke as her, and no matter who the throne ultimately belongs to, I and Miss Asuna must rely on the power of me and Miss Asuna. ”

"You say so. That's right, indeed. Elizabeth put away the playful look on her face, then nodded slowly and said, "But Miss Asuna, she ...... There are also a little troubles of their own. And seeing that this trouble has become more and more popular. So ......"

"Miss Asuna in trouble?" Sean frowned, "The words of the third prince Arlan shouldn't be a big trouble, not to mention that the target of Michael's people is me, and Miss Asuna shouldn't be implicated." So...... Is it Grand Prince Adams? ”

Elizabeth nodded slightly, and said, "He is one of Miss Asuna's suitors, and perhaps the only one now." …… The people of the kingdom say that he led his army north ten years ago to suppress a rebellion that laid the foundation for today. But actually. He proposed a marriage contract to Miss Asuna, but after Miss Asuna refused, he asked for a military duel. It was a very intimate duel......"

The so-called military duel refers to a duel method that includes five categories: sand table deduction, actual combat drills, surprise battles, encounters, and historical battles. There are two battles in each category, with each duel between the two sides playing the attacker and the defender, and each battle won to earn three points. A draw is worth a point. No points will be awarded for defeat, and the one with the highest total score wins.

And because this kind of duel can not only hone the commanders' command skills and improve their military standards, but also does not cause actual losses and damage, it is extremely popular among commanders and generals. Often, it also serves as a channel for commanders to settle disputes privately.

"That great prince is all defeated?" Sean asked.

"Ten games were lost, and Miss Asuna won mercilessly with a total score of thirty points." When she said this, Elizabeth's face was also slightly unnatural, "Miss Asuna at that time." is too young and vigorous, and he doesn't know how to be flexible. ”

For a prince. And it's the eldest prince, who made such a faceless behavior, no wonder the eldest prince left the royal capital in anger. With the speed at which rumors are transmitted in aristocratic circles, I am afraid that even the most intimate duel will reach the ears of some people, so Prince Adams naturally cannot continue to stay in the royal capital. However, his ability to quickly gain a foothold in the north of the kingdom, which was known for its bravery, not only achieved brilliant victories, but also convinced many northern nobles, proved that he was also a talent.

It's just that now this person is back, and seeing that Elizabeth is also here with the purpose of being a lobbyist at the moment, it is conceivable that His Royal Highness the prince is afraid that he has not let go of his hatred. So this time he is obviously coming back for revenge, so if he is allowed to ascend the throne, I am afraid that the result will be the same as the result that Arlan will threaten Sean when he ascends the throne.

"If that Highness Adams can give up trouble with Miss Asuna, then can Miss Asuna not get involved in this throne dispute?" Sean thought for a moment before he spoke, "To be honest, I'm grateful for Miss Asuna's help back then, but I'm really sensitive about who I am now. …… I think Asuna's choice at this moment has fundamentally led to the hatred of His Highness Adams, if even I join, then wouldn't this be tantamount to letting His Highness Adams and His Highness Arlan find a reasonable excuse to join forces? ”

Hearing Sean's words, Elizabeth's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, she spoke: "Lord Sean, you ...... Is there any misunderstanding between him and the fourth princess? ”

Ingels. Ryan had five sons and three daughters and a total of eight children, which was not very outstanding in the blood of Ryan in the past - at least not like Ryan II, who was known as the "King of the Strong Race", who had more than forty children in total, and the age difference was as high as forty years.

However, among these eight children, the most representative are three sons and one daughter.

They are the eldest prince Adams, known as the Uncrowned North, the third prince Arlan, known as the evangelist, the fourth princess Furcy, known as the heart of Lane, and the fifth prince Grace. Among them, the eldest prince Adams is thirty-two years old this year, the third prince Arlan is also twenty-seven years old, the fourth princess Folsith is only twenty-four years old, and the fifth prince Greine is just over twenty.

When the Marquis of Flores was a lobbyist, Sean thought that King Ingus's designated heir would be Greine, after all, the fifth prince had shown an astonishing sense of smell in politics since childhood. According to the Marquis of Floris, the Bad Blood Plan was conceived by the prince as an illusion and idea, and was later thoroughly refined by His Majesty the King and others, and finally put into practice by Sean and others. Of course, in the process of improvement, this prince also made a lot of efforts.

But I didn't expect to learn from Floris. It's Ingels. The heir designator that His Majesty King Lane once intended to reveal was the fourth princess, Furcis.

Among the three heirs vying for the throne today, the most powerful is undoubtedly His Highness Adas, because the northern border of the kingdom has always been strong and strong. If it weren't for Asuna and Sean from the south, the northern border of the kingdom would be the symbol that could represent the strongest power of the Ryan Kingdom.

However, when it comes to talent, the fourth princess Furcy is not much inferior to Adams. Even because she has been active in the royal capital for a long time, the nobles of the royal capital are much more familiar with her than Adams. Moreover, since the fourth princess was twenty years old, all the territories directly under the kingdom have been ruled and managed by this princess, and every year it has brought extremely rich financial income to the royal family. It has even gathered a large number of people's hearts.

But the most subtle thing is that among the three heirs to the throne, Fursis has the fewest supporters. Marquis Flores was able to win Asuna's support because Adams was too aggressive when he returned. Except for Asuna, though. In the seven-member alliance with Sean and Asuna as the core, no one has made any support for Asuna, which is one of the main reasons why Elizabeth has to come to the door.

But it's no wonder that the old Darby Expensive people choose to wait and see.

After all, since ancient times, standing in line is not a simple matter, once you stand in the wrong line with the wrong person, then the result will be very terrible. Often, after the new king takes office, in order to fulfill the promised benefits, those nobles who are on the wrong side will naturally become the target of revenge. It is already a very lucky thing to be able to leave one's life, let alone whether it can keep the inherent interests.

Conversation with Elizabeth. Naturally, it didn't go well, at least Elizabeth didn't get a formal answer from Sean, but she said she would relay Sean's proposal and concerns to Asuna. In this regard, Sean is actually a little helpless, he has wavered whether to agree to Asuna's words, after all, Asuna used to support him so much, but from the heart, Sean is indeed a little resistant to getting involved in this kind of troublesome problem.

When Sean sent Elizabeth away, Alexis, who had been silent, finally spoke: "That little guy is good. ”

Hearing Alexis's words, Sean remembered that he had forgotten to observe Elizabeth's breath just now. However, thinking back that Elizabeth did not have too many traces of momentum fluctuations, I thought that she should have stepped into the realm of the upper holy realm, after all, so many years have passed since the previous parting, and with the qualifications and talents of Elizabeth's bloodline awakening, it is not strange to step into the realm of the upper holy realm now.

It's just that Alexis's words really startled Sean: "You people here are really weird. She has obviously stepped into the legendary realm, but she still has to pretend that her strength is low, but she is the guy who just stopped us outside before, and she dares to call herself a strong person in the country despite her low strength. ”

"Legendary...... Overmatch? Sean was a little surprised, "What's going on...... What could possibly? If it's Vivien, I still believe it, isn't it ......?"

"The potential and growth rate of the Bloodline Awakened are much faster than imagined." Alexis said in a deep voice, "What's more, that woman just now is still the bloodline of the Thunder Destroyer. This bloodline can be regarded as an extremely strong bloodline among many legendary bloodlines, and it is not inferior even to the ordinary bloodline of the peoples. Didn't you notice just now? The moment that woman lost her mind slightly after being rejected by you, her pupils glowed with a golden light, which was a sign that the bloodline was about to enter the fifth stage, and it was almost time for her real name to awaken. ”

"I haven't seen each other for a few years, but I didn't expect Elizabeth to be so powerful." Sean sighed softly, "I don't know what happened to Simi and Vivien. However, if Elizabeth is already a legendary powerhouse, then why would Miss Asuna choose her side? It stands to reason that even if Adams becomes the king and has the service of the powerful of the town, he will not be Elizabeth's opponent. ”

"Do you think this king is just a legendary powerhouse?" Alexis raised an eyebrow.

"You mean...... How is this possible! Sean Teng stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face, "Asuna broke away from the Ryan Kingdom and established the Principality of Garrod, and I can understand that there is a legendary powerhouse in charge, after all, the strength and heritage of the Principality of Garrod itself is not much weaker than my Void Principality, and if you concentrate your resources on cultivation, you can indeed make Elizabeth achieve the Legendary Realm." But ......"

"This city has gathered at least three legendary powerhouses now." Alexis said lightly, "Except for the one named Elizabeth just now, there are still two more in the city, and one of them is hidden in that palace. There is another one who has a very strange whereabouts, it should be an assassin or a killer or something. …… Anyway, these people, including the woman just now, obviously didn't want others to know their strength realm, so they were trying their best to hide their breath. ”

"Speaking of which, the current situation is ...... It's really chaotic, as the Marquis of Flores said. Sean reached out and tapped on the table, then fell into a deep thought, "Looks like I need to meet Miss Asuna in person." (To be continued......)
