Chapter 90: The Colosseum

Winter snow could not bury the enthusiasm of the citizens of St. Cale, and those who had worked for a year have laid down their work today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoCivilians with a little savings spent the money they usually saved to buy tickets, checked in under the impatient eyes of the guards, and stood in the lowest floor of the arena waiting for the game to start.

The aristocrats, on the other hand, sat in groups of ornate carriages, carrying their favorite ladies, and under the nodding and bowing of the guards, they passed through the independent and clean arches, and entered the upper area with a wide view and took their seats.

When Charlotte and Sylvia, who rarely enjoyed this afternoon stroll, rushed to the gladiatorial arena, they saw such a lively but well-organized scene.

The entrance area of the commoners was crowded and crowded, and there was a cacophony of distractions mixed with the sound of excitement on their faces discussing the entry of the legendary first knight of the young generation of the Empire into battle.

Young men dressed in clean but old clothes swam the crowd in groups of fives, with a small black box hanging from their chests, enthusiastically touting their business to the people.

These people are the gangsters in charge of the market in the casino, and even the bright imperial capital is indispensable to these people who wander in the gray area. They opened casinos, provided usury services, forced prostitutes, and even dealt with inconvenient things for the aristocracy.

For example, destroy the door!

Don't look at them with a smile on their faces now, but once you lose all your children in this gladiatorial gamble, they will turn into ferocious beasts and make you uneasy until the family sells their children and daughters, and the house is wiped out, or the debt is paid.

As for the aristocratic entrance area, which entered through the luxurious arch, and the merchant entrance area with a clean door, it was quiet and orderly, and there was no trace of the gambling market.

This is not because the aristocracy and merchants did not gamble, but because they were provided with a more subtle and high-end gambling game.

Although Charlotte and Sylvia came alone without attendants and cars, the guards could tell from their clothes that they were extraordinary.

The two entered along the quiet and orderly aristocratic quarter, and when they entered the first outer curfew and stepped on the red carpet, no guard dared to stop this pair of men and women with extraordinary temperament. Charlotte held a cherry blossom umbrella for Sylvia, and the two quietly lined up behind a middle-aged aristocrat and a beautiful girl.

The girl in front of her gently took the noble man's arm and rested her side face against the man's shoulder, and a guard dutifully held an umbrella for the two, and when the three of them passed through the last curfew, the guards did not even look at his family crest, and bowed respectfully to the man.

But when it was Charlotte's turn, the guards politely stopped the two and asked them to show their identification.

It's not that the guards deliberately make things difficult for the two, after all, none of the guys who can be on errands in the aristocratic area are fools, it's just that the otaku and otaku from the north don't have the ability to brush their faces in the imperial capital.

And if you really want to count it, although Charlotte and Sylvia have extraordinary status, the two of them who live in the central tower of Icewind Castle all the year round do not have the ability to brush their faces.

It is known that the king of Icewind Castle is Sylvia, and that she has a genius brother who was once the second young master of the Clayderman family. As for what the sister and brother look like, what interests they have, and what their personalities are, they almost don't know anything.

Oh no! Charlotte's personality is rumored to be a strange guy who doesn't play his cards by common sense, and it is rumored in aristocratic circles that the Grand Duke seems to be an eccentric who doesn't play his cards according to common sense. In vulgar terms, it seems to be a big SB.

Charlotte didn't mean to embarrass the guards, he took it out of his arms for a long time, only to find that he didn't have any accessories to prove his identity. He looked at Sylvia inquiringly, and then realized the folly of his thoughts in the next second.

Naturally, Sylvia is even more unlikely to bring any tokens to prove her identity, and in fact, even the seal of Icewind Castle is in the hands of Dema, which shows that this princess of the Ice Lake does not take worldly power into her eyes at all.

Sylvia shook her head coldly at Charlotte's inquiring eyes.

Charlotte smiled apologetically at the halberd-wielding guard, "I'm sorry, we forgot to bring the family coat of arms in time." I'm Charlotte Clayderman, Earl of Winterhold from the North. ”

The guard exchanged moments with his companions lined up at the bronze statue of the knight in front of the arch, but shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. There is a rule that you will not be allowed to enter until you have been identified. If it were you, you wouldn't want to let a commoner be in the noble district with you because of our negligence, right?"

"I don't mind, after all, when I was a kid, I used to hang out with the commoner kids under the castle. Charlotte saw the embarrassed look on the other side's face, and he quickly changed his words, "But I can understand your distress, can you please go and ask the commander for advice? You also have to understand the feeling of a brother who is worried about his sister, don't you?"

The guard with the halberd hesitated for a moment, then agreed to Charlotte's proposal, "Thank you for your understanding! But in the meantime, can you promise me not to trespass, and to get out of the way for the nobles queuing behind you?"

"Negotiation established!"

Charlotte bowed to the guard, and he turned to Sylvia with an apologetic smile, "Sister, it looks like I'm going to have to wait a little longer." ”

Sylvia invariably stepped aside, apparently endorsing Charlotte's proposal. Charlotte sweated for the guard, it wasn't that he was worried, thinking about how Wycliffe was imprisoned back then, you can see how the princess of the ice lake went her own way.

The middle-aged nobleman who followed closely behind him passed the two, and when he saw Sylvia's beauty, his breathing became noticeably short. But soon he restrained his emotions and bowed with his right hand on his chest as he passed by them.

Commoner-born guards may not know what the title of Count of Winter Castle means, but nobles familiar with heraldry are unlikely to be unaware of the meaning of that title. That was the official title of the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle, and seeing the girl next to Charlotte, the identities of the two were almost revealed.

Grand Duke Sylvia of Icewind Castle and her legal heir!

But until the identities of the two are confirmed, the middle-aged nobleman will not be overly polite, in case these two people are really impostors, he will become a laughing stock in high society. Smiling and bowing to the two with a female companion at this moment is the best way to deal with it.

He saw Charlotte nod back to him with the same smile, and the middle-aged nobleman who thought he had done well enough was about to pass the two of them, but was stopped by a voice from inside the arch.

"What an inferior nobleman who doesn't know how to be inferior or inferior!" Inside the arch, a ball of fat came out of the shadows, "His Royal Highness Sylvia, the King of Icewind Castle, and Lord Charlotte, Grand Duke, are here, and even landless barons dare to cut in line and be presumptuous!"

The middle-aged baron's face changed, he clenched his fists indignantly, and looked at the comer angrily. That's the powerful nobleman of the San Lorenzo Empire, the guy who is playing against the northern border - Count Cecil!
