The city of Copenhagen is the largest city in Aberdeen and the political, economic and cultural centre of the province.

The duke's residence, the Grand Duke of Edwards, the supreme ruler of Aberdeen, is naturally located in the city of Copenhagen.

Before Anthony and Princess Arina had reached the gates of Copenhagen, they saw two groups of mighty knights lined up in a neat line on both sides of the official road.

At the front of the team, a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance and a very scholarly temperament greeted him very enthusiastically.

"Princess Arlina, we meet again. If I had known you were coming, I would have left two days later to return to Aberdeen with you. ”

The middle-aged man with the temperament of a scholar was none other than the Grand Duke of Edwards, who had returned from the imperial capital two days earlier.

"Uncle Edwards is an elder, so there is no reason for you to wait for me. Besides, on the way here, we had already received news of Taranto's mutiny. The province of Aberdeen was adjacent to it, and my uncle rushed back to take the town, just in time to guard against any misdeeds by the Duke of Kochis against the province of Aberdeen. How can such a major military event be delayed a little because of me alone? ”

Arlinna was very close to the Edwards family, calling only the Grand Duke her uncle.

Grand Duke Edwards laughed: "Hahahaha, the princess is still so humble and polite. This is not the place to talk, come and come, go back to my house and talk slowly. ”

The Grand Duke was not too polite, and led the way in front of him, and walked towards the Grand Duke's mansion with the princess and his party.

In the mansion, the Grand Duke of Edwards had already ordered a sumptuous banquet to be prepared. As soon as everyone arrived, they could immediately open their seats.

Arina grabbed the Grand Duke's sleeve and whispered, "Uncle Edwards, the battle situation on the front line in Edinburgh Province is urgent, and the rebellion in Taranto Province is also very important. This banquet, I think it's better to forget it. Arlina has received her uncle's kindness, so let's get down to business. ”

"The princess's intention, Duke Ben knows very well, His Majesty's urgent official document is still in my study." Archduke Edwards smiled lightly and said, "If you want to go to Edinburgh and fight against the invasion of the Rigas with Archduke Mattsias, Aberdeen thinks he is not capable of this. But if it's the old man Kochishi from Taranto Province, hehe, it's not me boasting, he doesn't put it in my eyes at all. Princess, you can rest assured. ”

"Besides, if it's too late today, no matter how anxious you are, you can't lead the army to attack now. You have driven for a day, and the men and horses are tired. It's not too late to get up tomorrow and do it again. ”

Having said that, Princess Arlina had no choice but to suppress her worries and sit down with the Grand Duke.

For a time, the guests and hosts were happy.

Late at night, the Grand Duke of Edwards arranged a spacious and luxurious room for Yalina.

Anthony and Arlina sat across from each other.

In the dead of night, it is very inappropriate for lonely men and widows to be in the same room.

But Arina wasn't worried about that at all, as there were several people in the room.

"Azure Sword Saint" Caton, two guard captains, Lin Zhifeng and other "Southern Union Three Heroes", as well as the little follower Paul.

Due to various concerns and precautions, His Majesty was unable to send a large army south with his beloved daughter to quell the rebellion. But when a dignified princess travels, she is even more important to deal with the affairs of her family and country, and it is impossible not to even have a minimum of escort forces.

As a result, a super elite team composed entirely of silver-level warriors followed Arina south.

A full twenty silver-level professionals may not be of much use in the operation of the formed army. But as a protective force, they are enough to keep Princess Arlina safe.

Even a golden fighter like General French of the Riga Empire did not dare to attack him directly in the face of the combined attack of twenty silver professionals. If you add the "Azure Sword Master" Caton, Frankie will only have to squat in the prison again.

As for Lin Zhifeng and others, of course, they were not on this list. It was only at Anthony's request that they were all brought in.

At this moment, everyone was sitting together, naturally to discuss the matter of "borrowing troops to quell the rebellion".

And the key to borrowing troops is that the attitude of the master here, Archduke Edwards, today is quite intriguing.

"Judging by the Grand Duke's words and deeds today, he doesn't seem to be willing to borrow troops." One of the captains of the guard was the first to speak his mind.

The other captain speculated in this direction, but came to a terrible conclusion: "Could it be that the Grand Duke of Edwards is just as ...... as Curcis of Taranto?"

His speculation frightened everyone.

Internal and external troubles, the glorious empire will be even more stormy, not to mention. Now there are more than 20 people in the group, but they are still on other people's territory.

Twenty Silver Fighters, one Gold Fighter, is indeed a very elite and tough squad. But if you are besieged by a large army, the consequences are no different from ordinary people.

Princess Arina's categorical words pulled everyone back from their terrible speculation: "This is absolutely impossible! Uncle Edwards' family was very close to the royal family and belonged to the royalist faction. Besides, if he were to rebel, he could have mobilized his army and captured us at the gates. ”

Both captains pursed their lips and stopped talking.

As a royal guard, and a high-level warrior who often has access to princesses, princes, and even His Majesty the King, there are too many divisions and mergers in political factional struggles. Like fathers and sons, brothers and brothers, they may turn against each other for the sake of profit and kill them. Not to mention two families that are not related by blood.

But since Her Royal Highness the princess has made up her mind, the two captains who have long passed the young age of Lengtou will certainly not say anything more.

Lin Zhifeng frowned and hesitated, "There is a strange place. The Grand Duke of Edwards' family has a very close personal relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it is said that Her Royal Highness has come from afar, and the Duchess and Miss should come out to greet her. But I didn't see the two of them during the whole feast just now. Could there be something strange about this? ”

One of the captains replied a little impatiently, "You didn't sit with us just now, so you don't know the situation. The Grand Duke explained to Her Royal Highness that the Duchess and the young lady had gone back to their parents' house to visit relatives together as early as a month ago, and they were not in the Grand Duke's mansion at the moment. ”

The so-called things gather by like, people by groups, and people are always divided into three, six, nine and so on. In this world where everything speaks with strength, Lin Zhifeng and others, who have low martial arts cultivation and do not have the title of nobility, naturally cannot obtain the right to talk to silver-level powerhouses on an equal footing.

If it weren't for the fact that the "head" in their mouths also possessed a silver-level martial arts realm and had a close relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess, the two captains would have scolded loudly and driven a few people out of the door.

Lin Zhifeng has learned their white eyes along the way, and he is silent at the moment.

Caton, who has always been taciturn and does not express opinions on anything, suddenly spoke: "Anthony, you kid has the most eyes, what do you think about this?" ”

A worried Yalina also raised her head and looked at Anthony, who had been silent, full of hope.

Anthony smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm just like you, I'm also a newcomer, and I don't know much about the situation of Grand Duke Edwards as well as you, what can I do?" ”

Arlina nodded, a look of disappointment on her face.

The two captains looked at each other expressionlessly.

"You guys will walk around the city tomorrow and ask for news." Anthony turned back to Lin Zhifeng and the others and commanded.

"Yes, sir!"

Several people bowed down to receive the order.

The "Four Heroes of Southern Union" met Anthony by chance and were originally called friends. But since Anthony showed something extraordinary, all four of them made up their minds to keep the boy's thighs tightly and follow him.

Now that he has put himself in the right position, he naturally can't call him as casually as before, calling the boy "Brother Anthony", and now he has changed his name to "Boss". Even Paul, the little attendant, changed his tune along with him.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, don't worry, maybe the problem is not as complicated as we think. Perhaps early tomorrow morning, the Grand Duke of Edwards has gathered his troops and horses, ready to set out to conquer the province of Taranto. ”

For Anthony's comfort, Princess Arlina could only smile bitterly.

"I hope so."
