Chris sat high on the carriage. From behind Tasia's opened corner of the car curtain, one could only vaguely see a figure gently shaking a folding fan in her hand.
Wayne's excuse caused a big fuss, but Chris took the initiative without hesitation.
"My reputation is bad enough, it doesn't matter if it's a little worse," she said.
"What's more...I am the one who can do this kind of behavior~" So, the arrogant Miss Chris ordered the six people who offended her to be hung at the city gate as a warning to others.
Asking the city lord himself to explain and apologize in person was also a way of making amends in the name of Chris.
And she sat quietly in the carriage, waiting for the city lord to come out. As expected, Wayne heard the already anticipated comments among the onlookers.
"That young lady is really as willful as the rumors say!"
"Yes, yes... these people seem to be from the city guard. They are really unlucky! It's not good to offend anyone. They have to offend Miss Chris who does whatever she wants. That's what they can do. The one who got up!"
"...Hey!" The people traveling with them stopped the conversation that was gradually spreading with a look of panic on their faces.
"Why are you making such a loud noise? Are you afraid that others won't hear you? You are risking your life!" Wayne was speechless.
What image should Chris have in the minds of these passers-by? He withdrew his gaze, looked at the people who were hung up, and asked loudly: "Why, your city lord hasn't been notified yet? Or are these people ordered by your city lord himself!?" As soon as these words came out, the crowd gathered around The faces of the crowd changed.
In the direction of the city gate, another guard leader with a higher position explained with a grimace: "Sir, we have sent someone to notify you. Please wait a little longer." At the same time, he was complaining in his heart.
He was just a gatekeeper. Not long after he took over from the previous guard, he encountered this kind of thing.
Considering that the most he usually does is stare at some foreign caravans to make some money, how would he know if the city lord was really instigating something shady?
This is really a big man stamping his feet and a small man shaking his head. Don’t you understand that these two young masters and princesses don’t feel comfortable staying in the capital and living a life of gods?
What are you doing here if you have nothing to do? Fortunately, this extremely embarrassing situation did not continue any longer.
As soon as he finished speaking, the City Lord appeared in a hurry. Count Alik shook his belly as if he had been pregnant for seven or eight months, and walked out of the city with a smile on his face.
"Everyone! Your distinguished guests have come from afar, why don't you say hello to me in advance, so that I can arrange manpower to take care of the guests?" There was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
It's as if the unpleasantness in front of you doesn't exist. Wayne
There was a "chi" sound.
"Lord City Lord...aren't these hounds the manpower you arranged?" He asked coldly.
"Where do you start talking about this!" Earl Alik blushed and quickly denied it.
"In my opinion, there must be some misunderstanding between the two of you. Why don't you go to the office and let me explain the details in detail?" He wanted to calm down the conflict at hand first and move the place to private.
As long as enough compensation is made, the matter can probably be solved. He knows the nobles in the royal capital very well.
First ls://s://Hearing this, Wayne asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Count Alik wants to detain us in the house?"
"How could it be possible? So many passers-by have witnessed my invitation. Can I arrest everyone who comes in and out of the city gate during this time?" Earl Alik said with a bitter smile.
Of course, he would do it if it would be useful. But it was of no use at all... Wayne nodded and motioned for him to lead the way.
Originally, the original intention of the three of them was just to use this matter to put pressure on the city lord to make him cooperate with their group's purpose.
It would be even better if I could get some compensation by the way. Before that, they had asked the coachman to leave through other channels and spread the news about themselves and Chris home.
This is the first line of insurance. If they haven't returned to the capital tomorrow, Duke Elliot will know what to do.
However, if the matter were urgent, Ecos might suddenly appear and start killing people. This is the second line of insurance.
I hope this Count Alik recognizes his identity. Thinking this, Wayne turned around and got on the front seat of the carriage.
"Keep them locked up," he said to the guard leader who stood at the city gate wearing a long sword.
"After that, I will send people to transfer them to the prison in the royal capital. If they die in your hands, then I will have to ask you to go on the road for them." After a casual threat, Wayne played a guest role as a coachman. With a whip, he took Chris and Tasia away.
The guards at the city gate looked at each other for a while, then quickly stepped forward and put down the hanging city guards.
Under Alik's guidance, Wayne drove the carriage into the city lord's palace. Among the thirteen provinces in the Kingdom of St. Lornes, there are more than two hundred cities of a certain size like this, but at least half of them are located in the fiefdoms of nobles of all levels.
Since Count Alik can be appointed as the city lord on the land owned by the royal family, he must have a letter of appointment drawn up by the prime minister and signed by His Majesty the King himself.
In other words, he is not a down-and-out aristocrat with a shallow foundation.
"I have admired Duke Elliot for a long time. When I returned to the royal capital last time, I met him briefly and had a very pleasant conversation. How could I do such a thing as an assassination?" Alik defended himself.
Several people sat down in the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion. In order to relax the atmosphere, Alik also sent people to present a lot of fresh fruits.
Returning to his home court, he seemed much more comfortable. I saw Count Alik subconsciously touching the armrest of the seat.
"You might as well think about it carefully." He asked several people: "Even if I really assassinate you, what good will it do to me?"
"With all due respect, has this... Young Master Wenche been misled by someone with ulterior motives?" As soon as he got stuck in his words, Wayne raised his eyebrows very keenly.
It seems that his popularity is obviously not as good as that of Chrissy. Passersby can know Chrissy's name, but the city lord seems to have no understanding of him at all.
But then he thought about it and felt that this was normal. After all, Chrissy is
What about a woman with a "famous reputation"?
"But those guys kept saying they were following the city lord's instructions and came to 'capture' us." Wayne said.
Actually, it wasn't said. But the six people who were hung up in public were not present now, and they could not express their intention to refute.
