"What? Your Majesty Wigley is sick?" When the carriage arrived at the palace, the two of them learned that the emperor was actually sick, and the illness was not serious. He had not gone to court or summoned ministers for a week.

Linton looked at Klose who was also surprised next to him with a surprised look on his face. It doesn't matter that he is not in the imperial capital. Your emperor has been ill for a week and you didn't know? But then I thought about it, and it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it. I forgot that this guy was an old homebody, and with his granddaughter missing, he probably really didn’t have time to care about other things.

"Is His Majesty's condition serious? Has Bishop Byron seen it? What should I say?" Klose asked anxiously.

"This...I..." The guard opposite looked like he didn't know how to answer. Linton was really speechless. If it wasn't serious, he could stay in bed for a week. And if you ask what the guard is for, can he know the actual situation? The emperor's serious illness is a very taboo matter. If even a guard can know the emperor's actual condition, the security measures of the palace will need to be improved.

"I want to see your Majesty." Klose saw that the other party didn't answer anything, and immediately said anxiously. He was not doing it for his granddaughter this time. He and Wigley did have a good relationship. Now that he heard that the emperor was ill, it was just Just wanted to see it.

"This, His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the inner hall to visit at this time." The guard said immediately.

"Neither can I?" Klose said unhappily.

"Um... Sir, please don't make things difficult for us. No one will be exempted from His Majesty's orders," the guard said.

Klose frowned slightly, maybe he also realized that the matter might be more serious. With a normal illness, His Majesty would not be able to directly refuse to meet everyone, so the illness might be much more serious than he thought.

Since I couldn't see His Majesty, I certainly couldn't tell him about the previous plans of the two of them. Just when I didn't know what to do, a voice suddenly came from the side and shouted to the two of them: "Uncle Four."

"Fourth uncle?" Linton turned his head and saw a familiar person, who turned out to be his nephew Garsain. Did it turn out that Garsain had returned from the battlefield? Thinking about it, I heard that the war was over when I came back. Looking at Gasein's current appearance, his clothes are much better, and he feels like he has been promoted. However, Linton was a little strange, because Garsain usually didn't call him uncle. After all, he was actually younger than him, but this time he was very skillful in calling him.

But looking to the side, Linton probably knew what was going on. There is a woman beside Gaseon that he has never seen before. She is a young girl in her twenties. She looks aristocratic in her clothes and looks pretty good. She doesn't know what relationship she has with her nephew. But I guess it was just to show that I was more polite, so I called him uncle or something like that.

"Your Majesty the Earl." Seeing Garsain's appearance, the previous guard also saluted directly and greeted him. From the title of Linton, we also know that Garsain has been promoted. It seems that he has been rewarded by the earl for his military exploits.

"How did you find him?" Linton asked.

"I was just here when I heard the news that you were back, so I came over." Garsain said. After that, he made room for the woman next to him and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Miss Messela. This is my fourth uncle, Linton. There is also this person you should know, Lord Kotviko."

"Hello, Mr. Kotviko, hello, Mr. Swordsman Meloway, I am Messela Colin. Nice to meet you." The woman here also immediately made an aristocratic salute, very intellectual and reasonable. a feeling of.

"From the Colin family? Cedro's granddaughter?" Klose asked.

"Yes, Lord Kotviko." Mesera nodded.

"Oh, not bad. We haven't seen each other for a while. Not only did you get promoted, but you also found a lover?" Linton joked. Although the two of them didn't show much, Linton could already feel the sour smell. I didn’t see that Garsain kept calling him uncle in order to leave a good impression in front of Mesera.

"Ahem..." Garsain coughed twice, and then immediately changed the subject, "Uncle Fourth, I have something important to talk to you about. Can you change the place?"

"Is it something important?" Linton asked, "Is it related to the emperor?"

"Hmm..." Garsain nodded.

"Let's go back first." Klose, who was next to him, was not very politically sensitive, but he still had a sense of smell, so he said immediately.

The four of them left the palace directly without saying anything and returned to Klose's carriage. Klose's carriage is still very big, and it's not too crowded for four people to get in. Ordering the coachman to go back, the four of them closed the door and began to talk.

"This is a letter from Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Gasein first took out a letter from his arms and said, "Read it first before speaking."

Linton didn't say anything, just took the letter and read it, then frowned. He touched his chin and said, "The letter has no seal and no signature. Are you sure it's a letter from the third princess?"

"This...Miss Messela is a friend of the third princess, and she brought the letter." Gaseon said.

"Yes, Lord Sword Master." Messela next to her said immediately. According to her, the letter was given to her by the third princess to take out of the palace. It was originally meant to be brought to Linton, but the problem was that Linton couldn't find it. Arrived. Meserra had no choice but to find Garserne, and Garserne didn't know where Linton was. Meserra had no choice but to wait for Linton to come back. According to Garsain, although Linton would disappear inexplicably for a period of time, he would still contact him, so he could only wait for him to come back.

Linton estimated that the two of them had developed some feelings for each other during this period. Although it was only in its infancy, it shouldn't be a bad thing. Since Messela is the princess's best friend and belongs to a family that Klose has heard of, she should be of extraordinary origin. Gasein had just received a reward. He was a new nobleman with no foundation. Marrying an old nobleman seemed to be a good choice.

Of course, it would be nice if things were as simple as they appear on the surface. At present, Messela's identity Linton cannot be sure. As mentioned before, it is impossible to confirm that this letter was written by the third princess, and there is not even a signature. Of course, it may also be a way to evade if he is afraid of being discovered. After all, if he does not sign, even if others find out, Mesera can still say that he wrote it himself.

Linton was so cautious mainly because this was a matter involving the royal family. The waters of official circles are very deep, and royal matters are even more cordoned off. There are many conspiracies and intrigues in it, and you have to guard against them, especially since you are a well-known saint, and you are worthy of others' calculations.

"Have you seen it?" Linton asked directly to Garsain.

"I've read it." Garsain nodded. The letter was not sealed, and the princess didn't say not to let him read it. "Her Royal Highness the Princess is now under house arrest. Even Miss Messela cannot enter the palace now."

"What? House arrest?" Klose next to him didn't know what was going on, but it sounded like he was getting a big headache. Putting the princess under house arrest? Who dares to do this?

"I can still understand this aspect." Linton gestured to Klose not to ask, and continued, "But you said that it would be fine if the princess asked me to rescue her, but she asked me to leave the imperial capital and help her find it. What is Dragon Blood Sword Grass? I don’t understand this. What is Dragon Blood Sword Grass? Is it a medicine for treating diseases?”

"I don't know about this either," said Garsain. "I also investigated and found that no one has heard of this thing. I don't dare to speak out casually."

"Dragon Blood Sword Grass?" Klose asked next to him.

"You know?" Linton asked.

"I don't know, I've never heard of it. Dragon's blood should refer to the blood of a giant dragon, but I've never heard of a medicinal material called dragon's blood sword grass." Klose said, "But I'm not a pharmacist. Find one. Ask the pharmacist, I guess it’s His Majesty’s illness that requires this medicine.”

"Does the princess need to be kept under house arrest just to treat the disease?" Linton said.

"I suspect that someone doesn't want His Majesty to recover from his illness." Gasein here expressed his speculation, "Maybe it's because only the princess knows how to treat this disease and she knows what medicine to use, so she was placed under house arrest. .”

Garsain's guess was more reliable, but Linton immediately said: "I have another guess. No one has heard of the name of this medicine. If it is made up, what is its purpose? The princess did not let me It would be weird to go directly to save her, and now you ask me to leave the imperial capital to help him find medicine, don’t you think it’s against me?”

"Huh? Wait, what do you mean?" After saying that, both Garserne and Klose looked at Meserra next to them at the same time, so what Linton meant was that someone instigated Meserra to use a fake letter to let Linton Dun left the imperial capital. After all, they might also know the relationship between the third princess and themselves, and then ask themselves to stay out of the way, or something like that?

"This... this is really a letter from the princess." Of course Mesela understood it, but she really felt innocent, "How could I do such a thing."

"Well...that...fourth uncle, I think..." Garsain beside him couldn't help it, as if he wanted to tell Mesera something.

"Don't worry, I'm just making a guess, right?" Linton said, "Actually, it's very simple to find out this matter. Since it's the princess who's looking for me, I'll go directly to the princess and ask if it's clear soon."

"No, the palace is blocked now." Mesera said, "Sword Master, if you forcefully break into the palace under the current situation, you will easily be framed as treason by someone with intentions."

"Do you still need to force your way in?" Linton smiled, and then said to Klose next to him, "I'm going out for a while. You guys keep an eye on her. I'll be right back."

"Hey." Just when Klose was about to stop him, he suddenly saw Linton's body disappearing from top to bottom. In just one second, he disappeared from the sight of several people.

"Wuchen Mystery." Although no one could be seen, Linton's voice seemed to be still in front of them, "I have said that magic is omnipotent."
