The obstruction of the city gate guards made Castel's knights look confused, and some young knights even frowned slightly.
They pointed dissatisfiedly in the direction where the Gaston family’s motorcade left, and said angrily:
"Armed knights without permission are not allowed to enter? Then why don't you check or stop them when they enter?"
The city gate guard looked at the knights with contempt and said:
"That is the motorcade of Duke Gaston's family, a great nobleman of the kingdom. The person on the carriage is the heir to the Duke's family, Sir Richard. The escorting team is the knights of the Kingdom's Guards Corps. Of course, they can enter freely."
Castle's knights were still a little unconvinced.
They wanted to say something else, but Baron Sharon signaled them to be quiet.
As a noble who often travels with caravans, Baron Sharon knows the rules of the royal capital. If armed knights want to enter Lutetia, they really need to register for entry in advance and obtain relevant permissions.
He came to the guards, took out a copy of Castre's armed caravan admission document from his arms, showed it to the city gate guards, and then said:
"We are the Castel family, and this is our admission document."
However, the guard just glanced at the document and shook his head arrogantly:
"This is just a pass for armed caravans. It may be valid on weekdays, but now that the central meeting is about to be held, the royal capital is in a special period, and all armed caravans are not allowed to enter the city!"
Baron Chalon frowned and repeated:
"We...are the Castel family."
He emphasized the word Castel family.
The guard snorted:
"No matter what family you are, if you want to enter the city, you must either unload all weapons and equipment and hand them in, or wait for the Central Committee to conclude..."
The guard didn't finish his words.
Because just when he was mid-sentence, he was stopped by another companion beside him.
The companion was still holding a bag of quintana that he had just received when the Gaston family's motorcade passed through the city gate. He looked at the paperwork of Castel's motorcade in surprise and at the same time looked at a bag of quintana inside the money bag. He wrote a note and quickly whispered a few words into the guard's ear.
As his companions whispered, the guard's eyes gradually widened, and his gaze on Castel's motorcade quickly changed.
I saw that his attitude quickly softened, and the condescending look just now suddenly became respectful. He quickly put on a smile and said to Baron Chalon:
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Well! So the guard, who looked down upon others, changed his attitude instantly after knowing our identities! "
However, Charlotte just smiled slightly.
She glanced at the two guards at the city gate with a meaningful expression:
"maybe."
…
Unlike North Port, which is often expanded and renovated, the architectural style of the royal capital of Lutesia looks much older and more solemn.
Here, almost every street is paved with blue-gray stones. Except for the main road, most of the streets are winding and narrow, as if they are telling ancient stories.
In the city, towering buildings are rising from the ground, which are very similar to the Gothic buildings of Blue Star, and people can't help but look up.
The buildings here are denser, taller, older and more imposing than those in Beigang.
The streets were filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, and the bustling level was far beyond any city Charlotte had ever seen since she traveled through it.
After entering the city, the knights escorting the convoy never took their eyes off the surrounding streets.
Even though they have long been accustomed to the prosperity of Beigang, many knights who came to the Royal Capital for the first time were still shocked by the prosperity of the Royal Capital.
Just the outer city of Lutecia is no less prosperous than the inner island area of Beigang. The wide main roads are better, and the narrower streets can even be described as crowded.
If it weren't for the armored knights of the Castel family who were not easy to mess with at first glance, many carriages and pedestrians would subconsciously give way. Otherwise, the convoy might have blocked the road while walking.
This was the case in the outer city, which made many knights couldn't help but wonder what the inner city where the palace was like would look like.
However, after Castel's convoy entered the city, it did not immediately go to the inner city of Lutecia, but went straight to the Castel family's stronghold in the outer city.
That's right, stronghold.
As a Northland family with a strong commercial atmosphere, the Castel family also has an industry in the royal capital of Lutesia, specializing in some ore and jewelry business.
Although it is only a small store with a comprehensive area of no more than 300 square meters, it is still a genuine store.
And because it is located in the royal capital, it is extremely profitable and can bring tens of thousands of quintana in income to the Castel family every year.
When Charlotte arrived at her shop in a carriage, she happened to see Sebastian walking out of the shop.
Sebas was obviously stunned when he saw Castel's motorcade. He hurried over and came to Charlotte's carriage:
"Master? You...why are you here?"
Charlotte stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maid Shirley, followed by Lena who was looking curiously and Eudocia who was expressionless.
She glanced at Sebastian and smiled:
"Where would I go if I didn't come here? If you let me fly at the city gate, then I will have to come to the shop to find you."
After hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian suddenly looked embarrassed and quickly saluted respectfully and said:
"I'm sorry, Master, there was an emergency in the shop just now, so I couldn't go to the city gate to greet you in time. Did you... get into the city smoothly?"
After speaking, he glanced at the Castel family's motorcade and frowned slightly:
"It's strange... aren't the city guards with you?"
City guard?
Charlotte was stunned for a moment.
After recalling her encounter at the city gate, she thought thoughtfully, her heart moved slightly, and she chuckled:
"There was a little hiccup, but overall it went smoothly."
"Interlude?"
Sebastian's eyes twitched.
Charlotte shook her head:
"We'll talk about this later. Have you settled on where to stay tonight?"
Sebastian nodded:
"It's been arranged. I've rented a noble manor in the inner city. It's been cleaned and it's more than enough room for everyone in the convoy."
