The king is coming!

Ever since Roland Wimbleton's army entered Chishui City, news began to circulate through the streets of the old royal capital, culminating in the return of the Lord of Silverlight. Despite the repeated insistence that he did not ascend the throne, most of the population is already convinced that the future King of the Grey Keep is none other than Roland – and it is even possible that he is here for the coronation.

However, the new king's movements did not seem to be positive, and he would stay in each city for a few weeks or so, so by the time the news came true, it was already the middle of summer.

The rising temperatures did not dampen the mood in the slightest, the taverns were filled with the sounds of the enthronement ceremony, the streets were lined with ribbons, and the houses near the palace were all rented out. The old royal capital, which is gradually declining, seems to have regained its former vitality, and perhaps only at this time can it remind the people who live here of the appearance of the royal capital.

A year later, Roland set foot on the territory again.

The moment they passed through the gates, the petals collected by the girls were scattered all over the sky, and the shouts of the people instantly set the city on fire—they were not praising the wisdom or benevolence of the new king, but it was just a habit for the people of the royal capital.

Nini and Pod are one of them.

Because the two happened to live on a tower close to the main street, they got the best seats overlooking the whole stadium. The parents were so busy entertaining the tenants that they didn't have time to restrain the two little ghosts, and they were happy to climb to the top of the tower and lie on the red bricks to watch the army enter the city.

"It's coming, it's coming...... Is the man standing in the carriage His Majesty? He looks much younger than His Royal Highness the Second Prince," exclaimed Nini, "Wow, look, he's waving to us!

"Yes to everyone in this direction," the pod shrugged, "and it's strange that we've climbed so high." ”

"Of course we are included in everyone, isn't that right?" Nini said confidently, "just by looking at his face, he is much kinder than His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

Then the kind King hanged a large number of nobles, including His Highness Tifeko, his own brother. The makeshift gallows in the square is still there, and if you add rats, he is the most killed ruler in the royal capital. ”

"Hey, why do you keep going against me?" Nini glared at him angrily.

"I don't like him," said Pod, "and he doesn't make this city his home at all, and he preaches everywhere that there are many jobs in the West, and encourages people to go to the West, so what are we going to do?

"Then who do you like, His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"

"I also hate it, in order to catch a witch, the whole city is uneasy...... The best is the old king, at least not to-"

"Oh my God, look, the woman beside your majesty!" Nini didn't wait for him to finish, and in a moment she put the subject of the dispute behind her, pointing to the king's open-top carriage and exclaiming, "She turned around...... Oh my God, she's so pretty, isn't she?"

The pod sighed helplessly.

But the discovery seems to have become a new focus of attention – to be able to be in the same car with the king at this moment is almost self-evident. The noisy chatter on both sides of the street suddenly escalated a little, and it was obvious that everyone was full of interest in this strange and beautiful woman.

At this moment, the two suddenly heard a strange whistle.

Before they could react, a gray figure swept in front of the two of them like an arrow from a string, and rushed straight into the tower. Then there was a panicked shout downstairs, as if someone had fallen to the ground, and the crunch of a glass of wine shattering.

"What was that...... Nini said, surprised.

"I don't know, but it seems to be coming for our house!" the pod rolled over anxiously, "Let's go back and have a look." ”

"Hmm!"

The two climbed down the brick wall one after the other along the way they came, and jumped into the house through the window, only to be surprised to find that several samurai in armor had surrounded the guests of the house, and there were a few feathers on the ground, in addition to spilled wine and fragments of utensils.

Nini's first reaction was that His Majesty's words were heard, and the second reaction was to cover his mouth and hide, unable to make a sound no matter what he saw.

However, neither idea came to fruition.

The moment they landed, the samurai noticed the two "uninvited guests", but neither of them came to arrest them, but grinned at them. Half an hour later, the group soon came out again, leaving only the stunned parents and guests, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, took out ten silver wolves and handed them to his stunned father.

It wasn't until everyone left that Nini stepped forward hesitantly, "What the hell...... What happened?"

"It's incredible," said my father, dancing with excitement, "and just as the guard of honour was passing around the corner of the street, a spectator suddenly pulled out a well-wound crossbow and aimed it directly at His Majesty the King in the car!"

Nini gasped, "And then?"

"We were all terrified, and if this arrow was fired, a room full of people would not survive. Fortunately, at this time, a bird ...... No, a guy flew in and stopped that guy!"

"People?"

"You can't say the same, she flew in as a bird, but when she hit the man on the head, she became a human being—a little girl about your age. One guest added, "We reacted when the crossbow fell to the ground, and we rushed up to hold the assassin down, and then the samurai broke down the door and rushed in." ”

"Are you sure you're not dazzled?" questioned Pod, "the bird...... No, what about the person who can turn into a bird? You can't have drunk the dream water and hallucinate, right?"

"By the time we subdued the Assassin, she was gone," the father raised his palm and slapped his son on the back of the head, slapping him staggering.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Nini focused on the feathers, which looked like the same color as ordinary goshawk wings, but were much wider and softer. She carefully gathered the feathers, pinned them between the ends of her hair, and looked up and down in the mirror.

She looked like she could fly...... The little girl was satisfied, and thought to herself, so she would use this to make a new headdress.

The seemingly thrilling assassination did not make any waves, and the conversation quickly shifted back to the king's party, and there were at least a dozen more similar incidents in places they didn't know.

It's just that under Sylvie's vigilance, all the one-man actions that pinned their hopes on luck failed without exception. Even most of the premeditated plans were not even alarmed by the surrounding crowds, and the patrol team took down the target directly.

"Thank you for your hard work," Roland took advantage of the wave of his hand to nod towards the carriage behind him, "I didn't expect that there were still so many remnants in the old royal capital, and it seems that the situation is not as stable as I imagined." ”

"This is what I should do, Your Majesty. Sylvie replied.

"Since you know that you are unstable, you shouldn't choose this way to enter the city," the unkind voice came from Agatha, I don't know if it was because of her age, and whenever she talked about safety, Roland felt that her temper was more and more like that of a book, "mortals are too fragile, and sometimes it only takes an inconspicuous wound to kill you." ”

"I'll stop all the attacks," Anna said calmly, "and Nanawa Pine is on the team." ”

"You can't get used to him so much. ”

"Ahem...... Roland hurriedly interrupted, "In order to build momentum, this risk is quite acceptable, as the new king, you have to be familiar with it in front of the people." ”

With Sylvie, Agatha, Isabella, Phyllis, and Zoe in the carriage, plus the elite of the First Army on the periphery, it was theoretically impossible for such a powerful configuration to be unexpected.

"These are two different things—you could have chosen a safer way, such as standing on a high platform in a palace and preaching to your people. ”

Indeed, but he can't say that this move is more about the addiction of patrolling, such as setting up two microphones in front of the carriage, and then saying hello comrades......

"Your Majesty, the palace is almost here. The guard reminded, and this sentence also made Agatha stop preaching.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief, and through the redecorated inner city gate, he saw a procession of nearly a hundred people, respectfully waiting for his arrival—among them were "old ministers" from the western realm like Tasa and Barov's disciples, and there were also many "new ministers" from small nobles who had surrendered, but more were scholars and commoners recruited from the local area.

After completing the unfinished rectification last time, the entire central region of Grey Fort will officially be under his control, and when the Eastern Front Army occupies the area of Haifeng County, Grey Fort will initially become a unified kingdom.

When the carriage stopped, Roland lifted his cloak in high spirits, stepped off the frame, and waved his hand at the people behind him.

"Let's go, follow me into the palace!"
