495. Arrival
After about half an hour or so, Luo Wen, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage, could already see the towering walls of the imperial capital, and he directly said to Jory and Sibia in the carriage: "Your Excellency Jori, Sibia, you will be in the imperial capital soon.

After Rowan's words fell, the curtain of the carriage was gently lifted, and Spiya's little head poked out from behind the curtain and looked ahead, and the towering walls of the imperial capital also entered her sight.
Then Sibia lifted the curtain of the carriage completely, so that Jori, who was sitting in the carriage, could also see the appearance of the imperial capital.
"Your Excellency Rowan, General Bude's soldiers will be waiting for me at the gate of the imperial capital, you just need to send us to the gate of the imperial capital." Jory said.
"Okay, I understand, but even if you are escorted by Bud's soldiers, you are not safe, after all, the imperial capital has long been covered by Earnest, so you and Spiya should be careful." Rowan nodded and said.
"Father, can't we let Rowan take us to the residence in the imperial capital?" Sibia said with a hint of pleading in her expression.
Seeing the hint of pleading in Spiya's eyes, Jory was slightly stunned, and then fell silent. It was only at this time that Jory realized that his daughter's attitude and look towards Rowan were a little too enthusiastic.
"Then do you have anything else to do, Your Excellency Rowan? If not, I don't know if I can... After thinking about it again, Jory finally couldn't stand his daughter's eyes, so he asked Rowan.
"I don't have anything to do next, but if you agree, I can send you all the way to your residence in the imperial capital." Rowan said slowly.
"Then trouble Your Excellency Luo Wen, please send me and my little girl all the way to the residence in the imperial capital." Hearing Rowan say this, Jory immediately agreed.
And when Sibia heard that Rowan would escort herself and her father all the way to the residence in the imperial capital, she couldn't help but smile with joy, and the brilliance in her eyes became a little brighter.
Looking at Spiya's expression that instantly became very happy, Jory's eyes flashed with a special light, he looked at Rowan, then at Spiya, and then fell into thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
Soon, the carriage had already driven to the gate of the imperial capital, and I saw more than a dozen soldiers with sharp eyes and serious expressions, dressed in silver shining iron armor, carrying a knight's long sword of a unified standard at their waists, and with a murderous aura on their bodies, standing in a neat line at the gate of the imperial capital.
One of the soldiers, who was holding his helmet in his hand and not wearing it on his head, immediately took a few steps forward and came to the front of the carriage after seeing Jory's carriage.
Seeing that the soldier was blocking the way, Rowan also manipulated the carriage and stopped.
The soldier saluted Rowan and said, "I wonder if it's Lord Jory and Miss Spiya sitting in the carriage?" ā
Hearing the soldier's voice, Jory sitting in the carriage immediately leaned out and looked at the soldier in front of the carriage, after seeing the soldier's special standard armor and military temperament, Jory understood that this was the soldier sent by Bud to protect himself.
He said to the soldier, "I am the former Imperial Prime Minister Jory, and you were sent by General Bude." ā
"Yes, Lord Jory, the Great General has sent us to protect your safety and escort you to your residence in the Imperial Palace." When the soldier heard what Jory said, he immediately saluted Jory.
"Imperial Palace? Didn't you say that you were looking for a house in the imperial capital? Why do you want to live in the Imperial Palace? Jory asked with some confusion, he remembered that when he discussed the residence with Bud before, he asked Bud to find a safe house to live in the imperial capital, but he never said that he would go to the Imperial Palace.
"I don't know, but General Bud is waiting for you at your quarters, and when you arrive, ask the General himself." The soldier said.
"Alright then, let's go to the Imperial Palace first, and you can lead the way." Jory nodded and said.
"Yes, then please come with us." The soldier immediately saluted, and then the heavily armed soldiers immediately came to the side of the carriage and protected it in the middle, while the soldier led the whole group forward as the front leader, and Rowan drove the carriage behind the soldier.
In this way, the procession, which had only one carriage left, suddenly grew stronger, constantly thinking about the Imperial Palace.
After some time, Rowan and the others finally came to the gate of the Imperial Palace, and the soldier who led the way also stopped, he turned to the carriage and said, "Alright, the Imperial Palace has arrived, from here we will march on foot, please let Lord Jory and Miss Spiya get off." ā
Hearing the soldier's words, the curtain of the carriage was lifted again, and Jory and Spiya stepped out of it, jumping out of the carriage.
After standing firmly on the ground, Jory couldn't help but look at the majestic Imperial Palace, whether it was the city walls that had been strong and stable for thousands of years, or the tiles that had left many traces of history after the wind and rain, or the exquisite and ingenious statues.
Looking at all this, Qiao Li couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia and wrongdoing, he remembered that the last time he came here, although the imperial capital was corrupt, it was definitely not as blatant and unscrupulous as it is now, and the imperial capital at that time was not a nest of poisonous snakes, and it was not so dirty.
But now the imperial capital is already under the black hands of Ornest, and the entire city and even the whole country have been made into a miasma by him, and the people are struggling to make a living, which is why the efforts of the past few years have become like this.
This made Jory's heart can't help but feel sad and angry, is the thousand-year-old Cutting Pupil Empire about to be destroyed by this Onester?
As soon as he thought of this, it was difficult for Jory to suppress the unwillingness in his heart, for the sake of the people of the Cutting Pupil Empire, and even more for the sake of the thousand-year-old country of the Hitomi Empire, he Jory must overthrow the power of Earnest and let the empire break away from the shadows.
Sibia, who was standing next to Jory, was also shocked by the magnificence of the Imperial Palace, but she didn't feel as much as Jory, so she quickly came back to her senses, and then saw her father's whole body trembling slightly, staring at the Imperial Palace, his fists clenched tightly.
She couldn't help but say with some concern: "Father, are you okay?" ā
