After the king left, Gervais and the others were quickly led in by several guards from the palace.

This palace was where the king lived during non-war times, and the king did not go to the castle on the hill on weekdays, because the comfort of the castle was not as comfortable as that of the manor-like palace.

Walking into the palace gates, it is different from the majestic atmosphere that Gervais imagined.

It's more like a rich manor's mansion, quiet, peaceful and beautiful, this is Gervais's first feeling, and even the body and mind will feel comfortable living here.

However, there is also an important factor in why the palace is so focused on comfort rather than majesty, and that is that the majestic castle on the hill is already a symbol of King Hayden's majesty, so it does not need to be done again.

The palace is very extensive, surrounded by large flower beds and manicured woods, and the aisles are welcoming the past, with many male and female servants busy.

In the distance there is a large three-storey building made of white marble, with a beautiful shape and a wall carved with various reliefs.

Instead of being led into the building, Gervais followed the guards down the path to the right.

After walking for five or six minutes, turning a grove, they saw a building again.

It should be considered an independent estate.

Although it is not walled, the estate is fully equipped with a lawn in the front, a garden in the back, and a lake on the left.

"Adults, please come here!"

The guards took Gervais and ten others to the gate of the manor building, and the men and maids in the manor had been waiting in two rows for a long time, and as soon as they approached, they quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Then two servants, a man and a woman, became a pair, and they respectively attracted Gervais and the others to walk towards the house.

Because Gervais won the first place in the competition, when he entered the palace, he was at the front, and the other noble youths were also very knowledgeable, and automatically took a few steps back and followed in the rear according to the ranking.

Upon entering the manor house, Gervais was quickly taken to the second floor.

The decoration in this room is naturally top-notch, with the frescoes at the top and the gilded tile floor, all of which show the grandeur of the palace, and the furnishings are also a variety of exquisite porcelain and goldware, which makes people dizzy.

"When I have money in the future, I want to live in a house like this!"

Gervais really felt a bit like a hillbilly at this moment, the life of the most powerful man on the continent was really not something Gervais could imagine, and it was likely that this was just a place to receive guests.

Soon, two servants led Gervais to the door of a room at the end of the hallway

"My lord, this is your room!"

The doors of the aristocratic manor in this world are basically double-opened, so they are very spacious, and the male and female servants quickly stepped forward, opened the left and right doors of the door completely, and then bent down ninety degrees to wait for Gervais to enter.

Gervais was not polite, and was greeted by two servants.

But when Gervais entered the room, his heart beat a little, and he saw a pretty figure sitting with his back to the door near the balcony in front of him.

Needless to say, Gervais already knew who this woman was, who else could it be if it wasn't Caroline.

With her red wavy hair falling down casually, her exaggerated undulating curves make it impossible to extricate herself, and this is a stunner that all men will be fascinated by.

"My lord, hot water is ready! Do you need the villain to take a bath for you now? ”

"No need, you guys go out first!"

The person who asked at the exit was a valet, so Gervais immediately refused his request.

When he was in the castle, he was used to Anna's service, and he was really not used to having a manservant serve him to change clothes and bathe.

And Caroline was already in the room, and Gervais now needed to confirm the information with Caroline, so he directly dismissed the two.

"Yes, sir! If you need anything, feel free to call us! ”

The two servants saluted respectfully, then carefully closed the door again, and in an instant only Gervais and Caroline were left in the large room.

When the door closed, Gervais walked towards Caroline with a smile on his face.

Now Caroline has changed her clothes, which should also be the king's arrangement, she wears two clothes, but they are very thin.

One thing inside was an off-the-shoulder long dress, and the other outside was a black light gauze, which matched Caroline's figure and made Gervais feel a heartbeat.

"You...... How did you come to this royal city? ”

Caroline heard Gervais's footsteps and didn't look back.

When Gervais sat down beside her, his body shook for a moment, and then he asked a little nervously.

"I said I came to save you, do you believe it?"

Gervais is not a straight man of steel, of course he is a good man, although he has no other plans in his heart, but it is also a pleasure to let the beauty owe himself a favor.

Of course, Gervais was not deceiving Caroline by saying this, and Gervais did have a desire to rescue Caroline when he rushed to Maiye City at the beginning.

Otherwise, he could have waited a day or two more for the hostage exchange to take place when the large forces of the Duchy of Gien were about to descend on the city, so that there would be no incident in which the other side would be forced to flee into the hinterland of the Duchy of Alban.

Caroline was shocked when she heard Gervais's joking words, and then suddenly turned around and looked at Gervais intently, her eyes fluttering.

"I believe it!"

Caroline replied in a very solemn tone.

"Ahem! Cough! ”

Gervais was taken aback by Caroline's solemn look.

"This woman won't fall in love, will she?"

Gervais had a bold guess in his mind.

"Caroline, how did you get caught by the Thunder Knights, the eldest prince has successfully broken through."

If it was the night by the river in White Rock City, Gervais might not mind taking advantage of the situation to collect some 'favors' from Caroline.

But at this moment, Gervais could clearly see a different emotion in Caroline's eyes, and suddenly didn't dare to tease her anymore, this was playing with fire.

If it was just a friendly match, Gervais didn't mind, but if it was an official match, Gervais was worried that he would be hung up and whipped alive by the Lord of the North.

One is his granddaughter and the other is his own granddaughter.

The Lord of the North didn't beat him to death, and Gervais didn't believe it.

"Huh! I was arrested because of Derek's unsympathetic man! ”

Hearing Gervais's question, Caroline's attention was suddenly diverted and she began to tell what had happened that night.

It turned out that Caroline had gone to the eldest prince to borrow a trebuchet that day, but she didn't expect to encounter a surprise attack by the Thunder Knights in the middle of the night.

This is nothing, after all, the battlefield is the line between life and death.

But the real reason why Caroline was captured was because of the eldest prince.

That night, Wallis, the Grand Commander of the Thunder Knights, began to attack the castle with dozens of names, while Caroline, the Grand Prince and others prepared to break through.

A battle broke out between the two sides in the vestibule, when Wallis's main target was the Great Prince.

So I didn't pay much attention to Caroline and the few guards she brought.

Caroline quickly broke through to the gate of the castle with a dozen people, and only needed to rush out of the castle in one breath, then she could escape.

But at this time, the eldest prince called out to Caroline, because the eldest prince and the others were already surrounded by groups and could not break through at all.

In the end, Caroline had no choice but to lead her escort back and join the war group again, which temporarily opened a gap for the eldest prince and others.

However, the people of the Thunder Knights are also the elite of the elite, and they have a numerical advantage in the castle, so even if the gap is opened, their group still can't retreat with their whole body, and the men and horses on both sides are entangled together.

In the end, the eldest prince took advantage of Caroline's resistance in the rear, and he took the lead in slipping away, ignoring Carola and the others.

After the eldest prince retreated, the golden knight who protected him also fled.

In the end, only Caroline and the others were left to fight with the Thunder Knights in the castle.

In the face of the Golden Knight and dozens of knights, the fate of Caroline and the others was self-evident, the guards she brought were all killed, and in the end, she was also captured by the Thunder Knights and brought to King Hayden City.
