If you want to ask which city on the Star-Moon Peninsula is the most famous, it is undoubtedly the capital of the Crescent Kingdom, Lutesia.

As one of the oldest cities in the West Yunette region, Lutesia was one of the many capitals of the ancient Blood Dynasty back in the days of the Bloodline Monarchy, and was once the imperial capital of the Yunet Empire when it was founded 1,100 years ago.

Nine hundred years ago, the Yunaite Empire suffered a succession crisis, and the entire country was divided into two parts, the East Yunaite Empire and the West Yunaite Empire.

Soon after, the East Yunite Empire was destroyed in a catastrophe and turned into a monster-infested Black Land.

The Siyunaite Empire has persisted to this day, but it has also experienced division, annihilation, and reconstruction in history......

The Crescent Kingdom was founded during the period when the West Yunaite Empire was divided.

After the division of the East and West of the West Yunaite Empire, the ancestor of the Varwa family, who was then the palace minister of the West Yunaite Empire, took advantage of the weakness of the imperial power to seize power and split the country again, cutting off nearly one-third of the northwest territory of the West Yunaite Empire and establishing an independent state, and proclaimed himself king, which is now the Crescent Kingdom.

Naturally, Lutesia also became the capital of the Crescent Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this history that even today, the inhabitants of the Crescent Kingdom regard themselves as the purest descendants of the Unette, and compete with the rebuilt West Unaite Empire for the orthodoxy of the Unette.

All of this history Charlotte saw from the church's historical sources.

The nobles of Miria rarely recorded history, but the Church of the Holy Court had such a good habit, which also allowed Charlotte to fully understand the past of this world.

Of course, even in the case of the Divine Court, the detailed history of the Divine Court is only from the founding of the Unette Empire.

As for the history of the earlier period of blood kingship, it may be due to some taboos, or it may indeed be a lack of records, and most of them are already legends passed down by word of mouth.

Perhaps some of the immortals, such as elves and dragons, still have memories of that period.

But humans are human beings, and they are them.

Elves and dragons, who have always looked down on the short-lived species, will not be interested in the history of mankind.

As for the Age of Mythology and Elves that preceded the Age of the Blood Moon, I am afraid that even in the records of Elves and Dragons, many of them have been buried in the past......

After all, even a dragon that lives longer than an elf has a maximum lifespan of only 1,700 or 800 years, and it is far from possible to experience the past of 2,000 years ago.

The only people who can be called walking mythological history books are probably those who have survived from ancient times.

But alas, counting on these guys who sleep most of the time in coffin boards, sometimes it is even better to go to the ancient ruins to see the murals......

Without further ado, get back to the present.

The royal capital of Rutsia is located in the middle of the Crescent Kingdom, almost half a month's journey from Castel.

With less than a month to go before the Central Council, Charlotte reduced the number of visits and stays to the noble lords along the way.

The trip went smoothly, escorted by more than a hundred heavily armed knights in armor, and no one dared to touch Charlotte's moldy head, even if there were bandits and robbers along the way, and they had to take a careful detour after seeing Castel's convoy.

Twenty days later, Charlotte saw the tall walls of the Crescent King, Dulutesia.

That's really quite a big wall......

Nearly 20 meters high, the massive gates are made of solid stone and iron components, standing like giants, asserting the authority of the kingdom to the people who pass by.

The sparkling moat is very wide, probably more than fifty meters, and is connected to the Kena River, which surrounds Lutesia, and is even connected by boat.

As the royal capital of the Crescent Kingdom, Rutsya is much more prosperous than the North Harbor, and is said to have a population of nearly one million, second only to the Holy City of the Cult.

On the main road leading to the city gate, horse-drawn carriages are like dragons, pedestrians, passengers and caravans, and it is more lively than the wharf of Beigang during the busiest period.

When Charlotte's motorcade came roaring, it was a bustling scene.

The Castel family's fleet is still very conspicuous.

Twenty luxuriously decorated carriages and more than a hundred heavily armed knights in armor attracted the attention of countless people as soon as they came, and the limelight of the great nobles was fully displayed.

Nearby pedestrians, travelers, and small caravans consciously moved out of the way, allowing Castel's convoy to take the lead.

Of course, it's just a matter of getting out of the way.

There are very few people who stop and salute as they do in the Northland, or look at them with great curiosity as they do in other places.

The vast majority of the caravans and pedestrians, after just a few more glances at the armored knights, avoided it from a distance and stopped paying attention.

This is also normal.

The most important thing in Luttia is aristocracy, large and small nobles can be seen everywhere, walking on the street and throwing a brick may hit a baron or viscount, and people's awe of nobility is not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as in other places.

Noble caravans, like the carriages of the Castel family, were common in Rutticia, and Charlotte alone saw a lot outside the city gates.

Charlotte even suspected that what really made people take the initiative to avoid it was the more than 100 majestic knights in armor who escorted them.

On top of that, not all teams will shy away from Castelle's team when they see it.

Some of the carriages with conspicuous noble family insignia on the sides did not get out of the way, and this even included some caravans full of goods.

Many of these convoys were also escorted by knights, and Charlotte even felt the transcendent aura from some of the riders.

Obviously, these convoys all had aristocratic backgrounds, and Charlotte even saw the family crest of several large kingdom families that she had misplaced.

Unlike pedestrians, the people in these convoys simply looked curiously at the Castel family's lavish carriage and unfamiliar family crest, and then stopped paying attention.

However, the eyes of the knights who escorted the convoy could not help but look at Charlotte's escort procession, or more accurately, at the sophisticated equipment of the knights of Castel.

And those extraordinary knights, their eyes kept falling on the knights around Charlotte's carriage, and their faces were suspicious.

Without him, many of Charlotte's fellow knights were also transcendental, and even included a few advanced ones.

Miria nobles also know how to watch the dishes, in order to show momentum for this trip to the royal capital, so as not to be found by some short-sighted guys, Charlotte has brought the most elite knights with her, and the best knight armor has also been taken out.

She had come to the meeting and negotiated as the victor and a new vassal, and had no intention of keeping a low profile from the start.

After taking a look at the exterior of Lutesia, Charlotte lowered the curtain of the carriage and waited to enter the city.

However, just as Castel's convoy was about to enter the stone bridge of the moat, the sound of horses' hooves, mixed with screams and curses, suddenly came from the rear of the convoy.

Charlotte only felt that the carriage stopped slightly, and there was abuse from her own coachman.

She frowned slightly, lifted the curtain again and asked:

"What happened?"

"Lord Earl, it's cavalry! Originally, we were supposed to go to the bridge, but suddenly a cavalry intervened in our team and rushed to the front! ”

The coachman of the carriage said angrily.

"Cavalry?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow slightly.

She looked out the window and saw two columns of knights in grey cloaks, also heavily armoured, overtaking Castre's team and taking the stone bridge leading to the city gates, interjecting Charlotte's team.

They were lined up on both sides, majestic, all the way rampant, just now the scream was that a cavalry had collided with pedestrians, and at this moment you could still hear a cry, obviously someone was injured.

However, the knights didn't seem to care, they didn't even glance at the pedestrians who had been knocked to the ground, and only rudely let the other passers-by move them to the side of the road.

Several of the knights who happened to block the Castel convoy also whistled at Charlotte's escort knights, making a provocative gesture that drew angry eyes from Charlotte's knights.

At the front of the convoy, Baron Châlon, the captain of the guard, was on horseback, frowning and talking to the knight who was clearly the leader.

The other party's leading knight had an arrogant attitude, and only when his eyes fell on Castelle's escort knight team did he take it a little seriously.

And when Charlotte's gaze fell on the noble badge on the other party's chest, a trace of surprise flashed across her face.

Without him, she is too familiar with the other party's family emblem, and she dealt with it some time ago.

It was the coat of arms of the Gaston family, identical to the coat of arms of the Counts of Gaston, whom she had transformed into a blood servant.

The only difference is probably that the other party's coat of arms is surrounded by a circle of gold, while the family coat of arms of the Earl of Gaston is surrounded by a circle of silver.

Charlotte was about to use her magic to hear what they were saying, but before she could listen, Baron Chalons ended the conversation.

He calmed his knights, and then rode to Charlotte.

"What's going on?"

Charlotte asked.

"Lord Earl, it is the cavalry of Duke Gaston's family, and the people of their family are about to enter the city."

Baron Chalons said with an unsightly expression.

"People from the family? Not the Duke himself? ”

Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.

"I don't know, they didn't say it carefully, they just wanted us to get out of the way."

Baron Chalons shook his head.

"Tsk, it's quite majestic."

Charlotte snorted.

Baron Chalon's face hesitated:

"Earl, then we ......"

"It's okay, let them go first, you send someone to see the person who was just bumped into by them, take the accompanying priest, don't let people die."

Charlotte said.

Duke Gaston is one of the nine dukes of the kingdom, and the other party's convoy is so unscrupulous, if not the duke himself, he is probably an important figure in the Gaston family.

Although Charlotte does not plan to keep a low profile on this trip, she also does not plan to make enemies with other nobles before finding out the details.

It's just a queue to be inserted, just wait a little longer, Charlotte doesn't care that much.

And after a while, Baron de Chalons went back and forth, reporting to Charlotte about being hit by a pedestrian:

"The wounded are not seriously injured, there is no danger to life, it should be that the cavalry has also spared their hands, and we have already asked the priests accompanying us to help treat them, after treating the divine arts, the injuries should be able to heal after a few days."

After listening to Shalon's report, Charlotte nodded slightly:

"Yes, you can."

At this time, the convoy of the Gaston family also arrived under the escort of the knights.

The convoy was immense, more imposing than the Castel family's, and the tall carriages were extremely luxurious, and even the horses pulling the carts were even dragon-scale horses with dragonborn blood.

However, just when Charlotte thought the Gaston family's motorvoy would go straight to the city gates, she stopped as she passed the Castel convoy.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that the carriage closest to Charlotte's carriage and the most luxuriously decorated carriage in the entire Gaston convoy suddenly closed its curtains, and a young and frivolous voice came:

"Black Northland mountain eagle...... The Castells? ”

Charlotte looked over and saw a young nobleman who looked to be in his twenties sitting in the carriage of the other party, with a handsome face.

On his left and right were two handsome and scantily clad handmaidens, whose half-pointed ears proclaimed their half-elf status, and in the hands of the maids were glasses full of fine wine and peeled fruit.

Seeing Charlotte looking back, a flash of surprise flashed on the young nobleman's face, but he quickly returned to normal.

I saw him whistle and smile flirtatiously:

"You're Charlotte of Castel? The pearl of Boulder, a saint who has not yet been certified by the Holy Court? ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Charlotte to answer, he looked at Charlotte's appearance and said to himself:

"It seems that rumors are sometimes true, the pearl of Boulder...... I thought it was a gimmick, but today it seems that hehe, it does live up to its name, and it can even be called the pearl of the Crescent Moon Kingdom and even Siyunate! ”

"Judging by your appearance, you should have elven blood, right? So beautiful, but to swear to the gods to be celibate, tsk, pity...... What a shame. ”

"Hahahahaha......"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly, intending to ask about the other party's identity, but the young nobleman had already lowered the curtain and continued to move forward amid laughter.

In the dust, the convoy of the Gaston family entered the city gate under the escort of the knights, and even the guards at the gate saluted them respectfully, and only after the convoy was far away did they raise their heads one after another, and continue to stand guard with their waists straight.

"Let's go too."

Charlotte said.

The armoured knights watched the Gaston family's convoy departing with some disbelief, cursed a few words of indignation, and then escorted Charlotte's convoy towards the gates of the royal capital.

However, just as the Castel family's convoy was about to step onto the stone bridge leading to the royal capital, they were stopped by the guards at the city gate.

"Which family's convoy are you? The royal capital is heavy, and armed knights are not allowed to enter without permission! ”

At the city gate, the heavily armed guards glanced at the family emblem on the Castel family's body and said with serious expressions.
