Nell didn't have time to greet Vivien and Lolita along the way, and after just saying hello, he took on the responsibility of entertaining the guests and welcomed Daphne into the inner city.

The responsibility for entertaining Charlotte was given to Mallory Baker and Hoyle Edward, who had arrived to inquire about it, and the Roscent side saw that Daphne was clearly unhappy with Charlotte, and with Nell's confusion, the dispute over the order of entry into the city finally ended with Charlotte's concession.

Devany walked to the inner city with her graceful neck leaned as if she had won a battle, with Nell in charge of the reception, while Charlotte and Hoyle exchanged pleasantries for about ten minutes before walking towards the inner city of Lesley.

Unlike the impression of the construction in full swing in the outer city, the streets of the inner city appear spacious and tidy. Similar to the general urban planning, the inner city belongs to the commercial and aristocratic districts, and after passing through a transitional street, a lively shopping street comes into view.

On both sides are newly built houses, most of which are two to four storeys high, and the colors are mostly warm reds, with occasional emerald green or bright yellow to soothe visual fatigue. Most of the partition closets are made of bright glass, so that guests can see the dazzling array of hot-selling products at a glance. Charlotte's first impression of the city was a neat and futuristic feel to Icewind Castle.

The shopping street is far less prosperous than the more sophisticated Icewind Castle, but it seems to be quite popular. The construction project has brought a lot of commercial vitality to this new city, and the clean and bright street design has also added a lot of points to the shopping streets of Leslie Town.

Charlotte noted, however, that most of the merchants and squires walked the shopping streets, and occasionally some aristocratic ladies and ladies, while the nobles who were in charge of the house were rarely among them.

Charlotte, who had a general understanding of the situation from the greetings just now, did not find it strange that none of the nobles would wander around when King Lotte was critically ill, and they were now suffering from more important interests.

The grapevine is true, if at first Charlotte still had the illusion that 'maybe this was another despicable ploy by Bronte', then after learning the truth from Hoyle, this illusion was immediately shattered.

Hoyle was born into the family of Earl Edward, and his family was considered the core aristocracy of Lothard. Subsequently, Hoyle himself performed well in a series of battles such as the Locente Resistance, the Canyon Retreat, the Battle of the Tria, and the Losente Counteroffensive, and had several independent command corps operations, and now has long been among the core groups of Locente. From the information he learned, the accuracy can naturally be guaranteed.

King Lotsunte, known as the Eagle of the West and the King of Wisdom, was indeed attacked by the Assassins and is now on his deathbed. Just after learning the general situation during the greetings, Charlotte walked to the palace and asked for details.

"What about the Assassins, are there any survivors?"

"No, they committed suicide by swallowing poison the moment they were caught. Hoyle shook his head, the sad expression on his face was not fake, "If only I had been in charge of the Grand Duke's bodyguard......

Charlotte heard the implication and asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with the guards?"

Hoyle hesitated for a moment, with an obscure expression on his face, he took out a dozen gold coins from his waist bag, and motioned Mallory to take Elle and the other girls to buy some special snacks. It wasn't until Mallory left that he told the truth.

"To be honest, I've had that concern. Although the court mage's examination afterwards proved that the elk did indeed have traces of being manipulated by spells, and with the ......character of the Grand Duke of Brent," he muttered, "it is not strange to occasionally do such a risky and outrageous thing, but in hindsight, there is something unnatural. Think about it, it stands to reason that the Autumn Hunting Ground should have been divided into a security warning area a long time ago, how did those assassins sneak in?And it took nearly three minutes from the assassination of the Grand Duke to the help of the guards and knights beside him, according to the knights, although they were slightly behind the Grand Duke because of the lack of foot strength of their horses, but they were not delayed for so long. ”

"What's going on?"

Hoyle's face was solemn, "I asked the guards carefully afterwards, and they said that when they first chased into the jungle, they happened to encounter a flock of birds migrating, so they delayed a lot of help. ”

When Charlotte heard this, she thought there was a problem, "You haven't checked the birds?"

Hoyle smiled bitterly, "At that time, the Grand Duke was assassinated, who was in the mood to chase a group of birds that had already flown away." And the guards and knights were also scared of the six gods, if I hadn't asked them one by one afterwards, I might have missed this matter like this. ”

"So, you think there's an inner ghost?" Charlotte said this, looking at Mallory, who was paying for Elle's mouthful of oil.

"Yes!" Hoyle sighed, but soon realized that something was wrong, and waved his hand repeatedly, "Don't get me wrong! The young man was really good, so I didn't want to expose him to this kind of thing too early, it wouldn't do him any good. ”

Charlotte nodded, no longer focusing on Mallory. By this time, they were about to leave the shopping street and enter the elegant aristocratic district. Hoyle looked at Al and Lolita, who were still lingering in the shopping street, and asked Charlotte what she meant, who waved her hand "Let them relax" and the two moved on.

The most obvious difference between the aristocratic district and the shopping street is that the greenery here is very cleverly set up. Boulevards and shrubs and flowers create a tranquil environment in a subtle arc, and in the shade of the trees, the roofs of the single-family houses occasionally emerge in a bright color like mischievous elves.

"Is it because of profit?" Charlotte asked, walking among the boulevards.

Hoyle understood what Charlotte meant, and quickly replied, "The Grand Duke is undoubtedly a wise man, but sometimes he is even more hated. The consequence of increasing the centralization of power was to violate the vested interests of the aristocracy, and of course some people would be very dissatisfied with it. ”

"Hmph!" Charlotte remembered the rebellion of the nobles of Erosa, "a bunch of short-sighted fools! They don't want to think that without Brent, they are nothing now!"

Hoyle nodded in agreement, "Yes, this group of short-sighted people is quite good at winning people's hearts, and they actually say that the Grand Duke's counterattack on Hocent is a disregard for the overall situation of the empire, so that there is really a group of fools who should go to hell and think that the Grand Duke is an out-and-out tyrant! How can they understand the ambition in the Grand Duke's heart!"

Speaking of this, he consciously slipped his mouth and looked at Charlotte with an uneasy expression, "Of course, Rosente and Icewind Castle will always be allies!"

Charlotte waved her hand, not caring about it.

To put it bluntly, some of the nobles of Rosente felt that Brent had violated their interests, and for them, an overly powerful ruler was not a good thing. This situation is similar to that of Erosa, and the rebellion of the nobles that occurred in the North is not necessarily without the reason for the backlash caused by Lawrence's overpower.

It's just that the situation of Losente is worse than that of Erosa, because no matter how many conflicts are between the three brothers and sisters in the Northland, at least each of them has grown up enough to suppress one side. And Lotsente, can he still rely on an infant baby to subdue the nobility of the country?
