After running around all night, the group finally arrived at the foot of Quen City at noon the next day.

The entire castle is located on a higher hill, with a commanding view. From the towering tower, you can have an unobstructed view of the endless basin and wilderness. The city walls that have been painstakingly built by several generations of dukes seem to be indestructible. The entire castle is absolutely It is a large and impregnable fortress, worthy of being the core of the Principality of Zeon.

The marriage of the Duke's daughter is of course a top priority for the entire principality. Vassals from all over the country rushed to Quen to celebrate. Many other nobles who were invited from other areas also came here. There was a constant stream of pedestrians on the road leading to the castle. Absolutely.

After reporting their identity to the defenders at the city gate, they learned that it was the Duchess of Werner's team. The guards did not dare to neglect and quickly sent someone to report to the city, and their attitude was very polite.No matter how weak the Principality of Werner is now, the Duchess's brand is still valuable and cannot be underestimated, and is far more useful than the little Viscount Bain.

While waiting for Duke Zeon to send someone out to greet them, both the guards and passers-by were attracted by the miserable situation of Flynn and his party as if they had just come off the battlefield, especially the human corpses carried on the horses behind them became the focus of onlookers. Focus.Originally, Flynn and the others could have arrived here in the early morning. In order to spread the news about the attack on the Duchess at night as quickly as possible, they deliberately slowed down and delayed their arrival until this time. They wanted more people to witness their attack with their own eyes. Tragic situation.

Flynn originally planned to arrange for the Bain family's followers to dress up in advance, tear a few holes in their clothes, get some blood from the mercenary corpses and apply it on their bodies to disguise the wounds, or simply roll on the ground. He was covered in dust. In short, he pretended to be as embarrassed as possible to highlight the danger of last night. However, considering that it would not be appropriate to be seen by Charlotte and her followers, he had to give up this plan.

When the Duke's stable master personally led people out of the city to greet him, Flynn and his party were already crowded with people who didn't know the truth. I believe that it won't be long before the story of the Duchess will spread throughout Quen.

After the guards forcibly dispersed the crowd to clear the way, the stable master was finally able to step forward to greet Charlotte and Flynn.

Don’t be misled by the word stable master and think that he is a guy who raises horses for the nobles. In fact, those who can hold this position must be the nobles’ capable subordinates. As a stable master, he is usually responsible for commanding all cavalry units for the nobles during wartime. , can be said to be the cavalry commander of the nobles, a position that can only be held by important military generals around the nobles, so this guy is definitely one of the important people around Duke Zeon.

Although he didn't understand why Charlotte arrived with Flynn, and the servants all looked injured and were dragging a pile of corpses, and they didn't look at him in a friendly way, the stable manager still restrained himself. Feeling uneasy and doubtful in his stomach, he did not directly ask what happened. He knew that he could not stay in this crowded place for too long. After greeting Charlotte in the car, he asked all of them to follow him into the city, preparing to take these people first. Take him to the city and slowly find out what happened.

Charlotte agreed to the stable master's request indifferently. In her capacity, there was no need to pay attention to a stable master and she could just complain directly to Duke Zeon.Flynn had no intention of entangling at the city gate. The less he explained the matter clearly and allowed the people who had witnessed their unlucky appearance to figure out the truth, the easier it would be for the matter to spread faster. I believe that it will not be long before It will definitely give the residents of Quen City countless pieces of sensational gossip after dinner.

Flynn, who had poor riding skills, rode the same horse with Artus or other retinues along the way, but it was not appropriate to enter the city like this, and it was not in line with his status as a noble.Artus had long suggested that he let him ride a docile mare alone, and Charlotte also invited him to ride in his carriage, but Flynn rejected both arrangements and still chose to let Artus take him. They shared a ride, not caring that they would be despised by the Zeon people when they arrived in Quen.

He has already offended a Sir Luo Lei, saved a Duchess of Werner and ruined someone's good deeds, which will make Old Tibbs not have a good impression of him. If he continues to perform too well, it will be difficult to say that Old Tibbs Could Bisi have bad thoughts about this?

Sometimes, you have to pretend to be a grandson when you should pretend to be a grandson. If you act too brilliant, you can easily get into trouble, especially when you are in danger, you can't show off casually.Anyway, I am not afraid of being laughed at because of my young age. It would be best if Old Tibbs looked down on me because of this.

Obviously this trick is effective at least for the stable master. Although this guy is still polite in his words and deeds, making it hard to fault, Flynn can still clearly see the disdain in his eyes inadvertently. Chu, it would be perfect if the old Tibes could also be covered up.

No matter how much he despised this kid who couldn't even ride a horse, the stable manager was more concerned about getting some information so that the Duke could be prepared in advance, so he took an opportunity to chat with Flynn.

"Have you had a good time on the road?"

This is just pretending not to see with your eyes open. Flynn heard Artus behind him snorting. This guy was quite good at cooperating with the acting, so he said with a straight face: "It didn't go well either. My relationship with the Duchess As you have seen, the entourage, they almost didn’t live to see the Duke."

"Really?" The stable manager felt a little nervous and said with a forced smile, "Does anyone still dare to murder two noble nobles on the road?"

This person also has some talent as an actor, and he is very good at asking questions knowingly. Flynn told the story of someone ambushing Charlotte in the middle of the night, and he happened to be rescued by him, but it seemed that he decided to take action and finally caught one The matter of being a prisoner was hidden, and the other party tried not to feel that he had played a role in the whole thing.

"I think the Duke should take good care of the security of the principality. Such a blatant murder of a duchess is simply chilling." Flynn pretended to be frightened and said: "We at Bernburg have never Nothing like this will happen."

Flynn's accusation made the stable master blush. He quickly explained that the public security in the principality had always been very good. There must be some misunderstanding, but he felt uneasy in his heart.I originally wondered if Flynn and the others might have encountered bandits who were blocking the road, but they never expected that someone was actually looking for mercenaries around Quen to ambush the Duchess. This was tantamount to a solid threat to the Principality of Zeon. A big black pot.As a confidant around the Duke, he knew very well the seriousness of this kind of thing and must report it to the Duke immediately.
