"The other two princes are also coming to the banquet?"

Hearing General Pastor's explanation, Duanmuhuai frowned immediately, while the latter nodded.

"Yes, the order we received is that the two princes will also participate, so the entire Altdorf needs to be under martial law that night. No one is allowed to go out, and everything is closed."

"In other words, trap everyone at home and wait to die."

“………………………………”

Faced with Duanmuhuai's sharp words, General Pastor had nothing to say for a moment. Although martial law in the city is a matter of course, but... once you have doubts, you will see many problems.

"Did the eldest prince take the initiative to invite you?"

"No, it was the other two princes who requested it. They said it was because His Majesty regained Mordheim. They all believed that Your Majesty was the chosen one, so they voluntarily surrendered and were willing to accept the eldest prince as their emperor."

I don’t even believe in ghosts.

Duanmu Huai curled his lips.

"Then His Majesty also believed that it was time to end the civil war, so he warmly invited you two to attend the banquet."

"So, the day of the banquet is the most troublesome."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. From this point of view, the three parties may have their own agenda. The eldest prince was willing to lure the wolf into the house, probably because he thought that he had occupied the ideal location in Altdorf and could also lay a trap here. As for the second prince and the third prince,

If they were not fools, they would have known that this time it would be the Hongmen Banquet, but they were still willing to attend the banquet... Well, I guess they were obviously confident enough to be the guests at this banquet.

As you can imagine, Altdorf will be extremely lively that day.

"I have arranged for my family to leave Altdorf early."

General Pastor also lowered his voice. He had been to Mordheim and knew how terrifying those cult rituals were. He did not want his family to become victims.

"Aren't you afraid of being suspected?"

"Anyway, it's just a matter of these few days, I don't care."

Pastor is not a fool. It is obvious that something will happen in the King's City on the day of the banquet. At that time, he will have no other choice.

"So, is there any news over there?"

"not yet………"

"…………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned. He was referring to the witch hunters. Since they transported the dimension stones to Altdorf, the witch hunters have been tracking and investigating the final whereabouts of the batch of dimension stones.

.After that, there has been no news about him, and it is not known whether he is still being traced or whether he has died on the road of tracing.

"I hope you can strengthen patrols throughout Altdorf in the past few days. If there are any abnormalities anywhere, record them and let me know. Maybe I can find some clues."

"Okay, I know."

General Pastor also nodded. Now he has no other choice but to follow Duanmuhuai's instructions.

After making the decision, Duanmuhuai also raised his head, looked at Altdorf shrouded in darkness outside the window, and sighed silently.

I don’t know... is everything going well over there?

At the same time, the capital of Bretonnia, Carcassonne.

As night fell, the noisy streets gradually became calmer. Alyssa turned the sign to "Closed", then locked the door of the shop and returned to the house.

"call……………"

Raising her hands, Alyssa stretched.

After escaping from the empire, Alyssa, her mother and others have been running a small trinket store in Caracasson mainly for civilians and mid-range users. They make not much money, but it is enough for daily necessities. Here

Their lives are quite peaceful, at least for them, after a long journey of fleeing and traveling, they are already very satisfied with their current lives.

However, just when Alyssa was about to go back to rest, suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Hello, Miss Alyssa."

"Why---!"

Alyssa was startled when she heard the sudden sound. She turned around and saw a black figure standing quietly in the corridor not far away. Through the burning candlelight, Alyssa

She saw that the other party was wearing a cloak, wrapping herself tightly. This made Alyssa a little uneasy, but for some reason, the voice just now felt familiar to her.

"You, you are..."

Under Alyssa's gaze, the other party took off his cloak, revealing his long silver-white hair and a face as delicate as a doll...

"Miss Ogis!"

Seeing Ogis, Alyssa was so excited that she almost screamed, but soon she covered her mouth again and looked around curiously.

"Where is the Lord Knight? Didn't he come with you?"

"The master has something important to do, so he sent me to check on you."

Ogis stared at Alyssa, without any fluctuation in her eyes, and when she heard Ogis's answer, Alyssa was somewhat disappointed.

"That's right, I thought I could see the Lord Knight again..."

"So, Miss Alyssa, how is your life now? Are you satisfied with your current life?"

"Ugh..."

Facing Ogis's inquiry, Alyssa was somewhat hesitant.

"I think... it should be pretty good. Although it can't be compared with when we were in the city, it's pretty good now. The neighbors nearby are also very friendly and everyone is helping us. Although we occasionally encounter

I have encountered some unpleasant things, but they are not particularly big problems. Moreover, I think my life is very good now, so I am very satisfied."

"I see."

Hearing Alyssa's question, Ogis nodded.

"Then, I'll take my leave."

"Hey? Are you going back? Why don't we stay and have dinner together? I also want to know how the Lord Knight is doing."

"The master is currently in Altdorf and has important things to do, so he sent me to see how Miss Alyssa is doing."

Ogis replied calmly.

"Since Miss Alyssa is doing well, I will go back."

"Hey? Wait a minute, Miss Ogis... Could it be that you came to me because the Lord Knight needs my help with something?"

However, just when Ogis was about to turn around and leave, Alyssa suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, but Ogis just remained silent, neither affirming nor denying. But at this moment, suddenly, again

A voice came.

"It's about the emperor's position."

Hearing this voice, Alyssa and Ogis both hurriedly raised their heads and looked up, and then they saw the elf scout sitting on the stairs of the second floor with a smile, looking at them.

"Ah, Sister Elf! Where have you been all this time?"

"Sorry, sorry, I just went to find out some information, but I really got a lot of interesting information, especially that pink bunny... Hahahahaha, I'm sorry, I just want to laugh when I mention this."

After saying this, the elf scout jumped down and landed in front of Ogis.

"It just so happens that I originally planned to have a good talk with the Lord Knight. I wonder if you can take me to see him?"

"……………………"

Hearing the elf scout's words, Ogis was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"I understand, the master will meet you."

After receiving the notice from Ogis, Duanmu Huai also took a gunboat to reach Karakatsu overnight, and met with the elf scout in a hidden grove outside the city.

"To be honest, Lord Knight, I didn't expect you to be able to cause such a big thing in the empire."

When the elf scout saw Duanmu Huai, he still had a smile on his face and seemed quite relaxed.

"It seems that you know the internal situation of the empire very well."

"Of course, after all, I am also a royal spy. If I didn't have this ability, I would have been removed from the list long ago."

The elf scout made a gesture.

"I can almost guess what you came to see Miss Alyssa. Do you want her to become the Queen of the Empire?"

"What, is there a problem?"

Duanmu Huai naturally had this idea, but he didn't necessarily ask Alyssa to do it. After all, the emperor of the empire was not an easy position to sit in. That's why he ordered Ogis, if Alyssa felt about her current life

If you are satisfied, then let's not talk about it.

It's just that the elf scout suddenly came to his door and wanted to talk to him, which was beyond Duanmu Huai's expectation.

"Well... it's actually not a problem. Well, I'm not afraid to tell you that Miss Alyssa is indeed of royal blood, but... she is not the daughter of His Majesty the Emperor."

"She is of royal blood, but not His Majesty the Emperor's daughter?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned, while the elf scout shrugged his shoulders.

"Well...strictly speaking...she is the daughter of the late emperor. I think you should understand what I mean."

"………………………Aha?!"

Duanmu Huai was really confused at this moment.

"So what you mean is..."

"Well, that's what I meant. Do you understand now?"

"alright, I got it."

After hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally understood why Alyssa's situation was so special. He originally thought that Alyssa was the illegitimate daughter of the emperor, and for some reason, she had to be raised by the border lord. Unexpectedly, it turned out

...Okay, after a long dispute, Alyssa is not the daughter of the emperor, but the sister of the emperor?

Good guy, no wonder we have to keep it a secret.

If this spreads out, won't it blow up the sky?

The late emperor is really getting stronger with age... Duanmu Huai can only sigh like this now.

"However, this does not prevent her from inheriting the throne."

"Well, that's true, but.........In fact, I got a piece of news not long ago."

Having said this, the elf scout stared at Duanmuhuai and said.

"That means... His Majesty is probably still alive."
