Chapter 114: Abandoning the Royal Family
Chapter 114: Abandoning the Royal Family
There might be some inside information. If there is nothing special, that would be even better. Act in person and use your own eyes and ears to accurately judge the information. This is the basic of adventurers, and the two are recalling this.
“Hey, you two lovely girls. Are you both adventure seekers?”
A frivolous voice called them. They turned around and saw three elf men standing there. They had playful smiles and scrutinizing eyes. From their attire, they could guess that they were adventurers, but the two really didn't want to compare them to themselves.
As Alicia and Courtney were thinking this, the men took another step closer to them.
"How about we go on a mission together? It's sure to be fun."
"Especially you, a beautiful orc. You are so great! I have to take good care of you."
"Hey, don't get there first! I'm interested too!"
"Okay, okay, everyone follow me. I'll mediate and take care of this orc beauty..."
"Do not make jokes!"
“I won’t give it to you this time!”
They were both stunned when they saw the three people start arguing. These three people were obviously pursuing Courtney and completely treated him as a "girl".
Originally, leaving quietly was an option, but Courtney had to say something to the three people in front of her.
"Well, please let me say this... I'm a real 'man'!" When Courtney shouted this, the three men showed a dazed expression for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! You can still say such things at a time like this!"
"You dare to tell lies that even a child can't fool. It's really hilarious, haha!"
"My dear orc lady, please think of a better lie next time."
The three people's completely unbelieving attitude made Alicia and Courtney sigh. Just as they began to think about how to get out of this situation, that's when
"It's so lively so early in the morning."
"Stop making noise! Just barging in...ah, you are!"
The young man's voice suddenly interrupted. The three men who turned around were speechless. The same was true for Alicia and Courtney.
The young man was dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, and was impeccably neat. He looked down at the three men coldly. He was not a big man, but his tall figure and amazing eyesight naturally made the people around him shrink.
“How… How rude!” The three men fled the scene in a panic, raising a cloud of dust.
Suddenly there was silence, leaving Alicia and Courtney stunned. Then the young man sighed and approached them.
"What a shame...are you two okay?"
“Yes, yes. Thank you!”
"Don't worry about it. I just did the right thing."
Alicia and Courtney both hurriedly lowered their heads, while the young man waved his hand and answered with a hearty smile. Despite her nervousness, Alicia managed to squeeze out the words: "I didn't expect...Lord Austin would show up."
“I was just taking a walk. Besides, no need to be so formal.”
Despite the young man's easygoing words, the two men maintained an upright posture.
Austin Lowell Lee Sforia. Facing the first prince of the Kingdom of Sforia, the two did not have the courage to talk easily.
Now, his brother might be going out with the boy who was a monster user, and they thought that if it was that boy, he would be able to do it naturally.
At that moment, Austin seemed to notice something and showed a look of awareness: "Come to think of it, you were the ones with my brother last night, right? I heard the general situation from the spy... Is there anything that concerns you?"
Alicia and Courtney were shocked by Austin's questioning. They didn't expect him to see through them so quickly and accurately.
They hesitated a little about how to answer, but when they realized there was no reason to hide it, Alicia decided to confess, although she was very awed.
However, Austin stretched out a hand to stop Alicia who was about to speak.
"It may be inconvenient to talk here. Come to my office, it's easier to clear the place there." Austin said this and walked quickly towards the palace.
Alicia and Courtney hesitated for a moment, then hurried to catch up with Austin. They prayed hard in their hearts that no more trouble would come.
--------------
Austin's office in the Sforia Palace. There, Austin, Alicia and Courtney were discussing the matter of Sede.
Although they just met last night, as of this morning, Said and Xu Zhen have become good friends. Austin nodded happily after hearing this.
"Really...it seems that Sede has found a good friend too." The smile on Austin's face was warm and gentle.
The expression he usually shows at work is always serious and stern. At least for Alicia and Courtney, they have never seen Austin's expression like this before.
They thought that perhaps this was Austin's true face, and continued to listen to him.
"As you may already know, Sede intends to give up his royal status. He may do so in the near future."
“Yes, I heard that at a lecture a few years ago.”
“I’ve only heard about it, but judging by the attitude of the people in the city, I think it should be true.”
Sede declared that he had no intention of inheriting the throne and would give up his royal status and leave the country in the future.
When Seid announced this decision, the whole kingdom was shocked. Many people thought it was just a joke, but seeing Seid preparing step by step seriously, they had to think he was serious.
In that speech, Sede seemed to think that his role as a royal was over, and then he simply prepared to leave the country quietly.
However, the people, especially the common people, did not accept Said's speech. Instead, they went to the palace in groups to protest and ask what was going on.
Even the palace soldiers were surprised by this reaction and didn't know how to respond. In addition, the nobles also shouted unexpectedly, forcibly pushed aside the common people and tried to talk to the queen about the truth, and even a small-scale riot broke out.
After hearing what Austin said, Alicia asked in confusion, “Wait, can you explain what ‘unexpected’ means?”
"Many nobles despised Ced. They saw him as a despicable person who flattered the common people and sought to win their support. They complained and tried to justify their actions. However, this view was not accepted and was rejected outright."
