Remorse is remorse, at this time Duke is going to admit it, that's really a big trouble, no matter what, you can't give Saruman a chance to open the box.

I saw that Duke was directly in front of Saruman at this time, and said coldly to him: "Saruman, if this box is opened, you can't afford the punishment of the cardinal." ”

"That's my business, now I have to unbox and check!"

Saruman is already on the top at the moment, and he wants to get this field back no matter what.

With Saruman taking responsibility, the city defenders began to slowly surround again, although Duke Otto respected them very much, but it did not mean that they would tolerate Duke infinitely. After all, in addition to the identity of the duke's son, Duke's reputation in the imperial capital is not good, and many people call him a straw bag in private.

At this time, the storm guard also held a shield in front of the carriage and horses, and was ready to move. This era is like this, the lord is their direct leader, even the emperor has to be separated by a layer. Not to mention that the Storm Army has confronted the Holy See Army head-on, and they are afraid of the city defense army.

"Duke, you brought it on yourself!" Saruman also replied coldly, he slowly raised his right hand, as long as the order was given, the city defense army will officially start.

Seeing this situation, Gandalf's magical power began to surge, if it really reached an irreparable situation, he would use magic to defeat the city defense army in front of him as soon as possible, and then take Malfurion away, no matter what, he could not let the elf king fall into the hands of the Holy See.

"Stop!"

Just as the city guards and the Storm Guards were about to meet each other, there was a hurried shout in the distance, followed by the sound of horses' hooves from far and near.

Hearing this shout, Duke and Saruman both subconsciously glanced back and found that it was the royal knight, led by Adams, the guardian knight of Princess Gina.

Adams led this small group of royal knights to the city gate, dismounted and said to Saruman: "Sir Saruman, Viscount Duke is a guest of honor invited by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I hope you can give it your convenience." ”

Saruman suddenly heard Adams say this, and asked in a tone of disbelief, "Knight Adams, will Her Royal Highness the Princess invite him?"

"Of course, I wouldn't have come. ”

Hearing Adams's confirmed Chinese, Saruman's face became even more ugly. The reason is very simple, the recent news of choosing a husband for the princess is known to almost every nobleman in the French Empire.

His Majesty the Emperor has such a daughter as Ji Na, and she is very fond of her. If you can become the husband of the princess, then you will definitely get the support of His Majesty the Emperor, which will be of great help to the development of the territory. More importantly, if Her Royal Highness the princess can be lucky to inherit the throne one day, then the princess's husband will get the title of prince, which is definitely a step to the sky.

In particular, the non-eldest sons of some lords are even more coveted for the status of princess husbands, because they basically have no hope of inheriting the title. Saruman is one of them, as the youngest son of the Marquis of Steven, and several older brothers, it is almost a fool's dream to rely on the succession to inherit the title, and the best result is to get the emperor's appreciation, and then give him a small land.

So he is determined to achieve the identity of the princess's husband, and he has an inexplicable self-confidence, thinking that he is a leader in terms of talent, identity and appearance, and even has nothing to do with the scene of becoming a prince himself.

As a result, now that he heard that Her Royal Highness the princess actually took the initiative to invite Duke, at this juncture, he naturally thought that Duke came to the imperial capital to compete for the princess. Unexpectedly, Duke actually hooked up with Princess Gina, which really made Saruman unconvinced!

"Sir Saruman, if nothing happens, then I will take Lord Duke into the city. ”

After Adams said this, he didn't care what Saruman's response was, and directly asked the royal knights to lead the team and lead Duke's convoy into the city gate. And Saruman could only stand aside with a grim face, and there was no way to stop it.

Although Saruman is a baron's title, it is even higher than Adams's knighthood in a sense. But in fact, the royal knights have a transcendent status in the central region of the French Empire, and if they really want to stop it, in the face of the royal knights and the storm guard, the city defense army will not necessarily obey their orders.

Looking at the background of Duke's departure, Saruman's face was full of anger, and he was determined to prove himself in front of the princess, how could he be better than Duke's straw bale!

"Adam, how did you know I was coming?" Duke asked curiously, riding side by side with Adam.

Hearing Duke's question, Adams just smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the royal knight sentry, Her Royal Highness already knows your whereabouts from the time you entered the imperial capital. And you, the Storm Guards, are so conspicuously flying the lion banner that it's hard not to pay attention. ”

Hearing Adams' explanation, Duke just smiled awkwardly, originally Duke planned to use the Storm Battle Banner along the way, but he didn't expect that after passing Andorra City, basically no territory knew the Storm Banner, and even several lords thought that Duke was in the "cottage" lion army, causing the Storm Guards to be surrounded by the lord's army several times.

So later, Duke had to take out the lion flag of the family crest, but I didn't expect it to be really useful, at least there was no one in the French Empire who didn't know this flag. But in the end, the Lion Army was no longer sent out for practicality, but purely for Duke's pretense.

When the royal cavalry and the Storm Guards came to a fork in the road, Adams pointed to a road on the right and said: "This is the Palace of Versailles, Her Royal Highness is already waiting for you, by the way, within the scope of the Palace of Versailles, no heavily armed lord's army is allowed to enter, so you can only enter with me alone." ”

"Wait a minute, when did I say I was going to see the princess with you?"

Adams only replied with a puzzled look on his face: "Didn't you come to the emperor to enter the martial arts academy? ”

"I didn't say that I was going to the Martial Arts Academy now, and there are more important things to do when I come to the imperial capital. ”

"But today is the deadline, and if you don't register at the Martial Arts Academy today, it will be impossible for Knight Andre to recruit you again. ”

"Then don't recruit you, I've done the period, and I'll naturally go to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

After Duke said this, he directly led the storm guards and walked towards Duke Otto's contact point in the imperial capital, which was also the place where Duke lived in the imperial capital before. After all, there are still two Fallen Elves in the chest, so I have to find a way to get them out.

These are two hot potatoes, and in layman's terms, they are a matter of losing their heads, and Duke can't wait to get rid of them quickly. Anyway, they have been brought into the city as promised, and as long as they leave, anything that happens after that has nothing to do with Duke is irrelevant.
