After finishing the arrangement about tulips, a group of three people plus a cat soon appeared in Loen City. Ruen in the night does not have the thick fog like Nolan. This city standing in the north is quiet and peaceful, and has not been affected by the disturbance of Nolan thousands of miles away.
The little princess had been waiting for the three of them for a long time, and Dolores' confidantes and supporters who stayed in Loen also received the news and waited in the mansion where the little princess lived.
Dolores and her sister dealt with political affairs first, while Jenkins took Alexia into the sky.
Observing the snow-capped mountains around Loen according to the information obtained, it is indeed possible to find traces of the army. On the surface, the army in the southern part of the kingdom retreated northward, but in fact, the first to reach Loen was the large army assembled in the northern part of the kingdom to fight against the Snowman Legion.
The army has only recently arrived near the city of Loen, hiding in the mountains east of Loen. There are about tens of thousands of elite troops directly under the royal family, equipped with the most advanced firearms and artillery. If he didn't know that these people were under the control of Salhi II, Jenkins would probably think that they were here to break Loen.
According to the news received by Dolores, all armies in the entire Hampawo Kingdom tend to gather towards Loen. But in fact, it was all a cover-up. The only one who was actually ordered to approach Loen City was the current army.
This information was provided by Miss Windsor, the spy of the Grand Duke of Windsor and the Grand Duke of a duchy under the Kingdom of Hampavo, and this precious information was obtained from there.
"Sarhi II doesn't want to create a massacre, does he?"
Jenkins, who was riding a unicorn, asked hesitantly:
"In order to create stable conditions for his successor, first deliberately create the fact that he left to induce unstable factors to appear, and then mobilize the army to directly slaughter the rebels, paving the way for the next generation of kings once and for all..."
Alexia also agreed with Jenkins. Although it was quite cruel, it was definitely something Dolores' father could do. That middle-aged man has always been tough. Now that he is dying, if he can do something for the next generation and the stability of the entire kingdom, he will not care about his reputation.
Now taking the heirs to leave, I think it is for the reputation of the royal family, and the royal family cannot be involved in this matter.
"Terrible people."
"All kings are like this, right? If you have power, you must dare to sacrifice and know how to choose."
Alexia said while looking at the faint lights below, this army is very good at hiding, and they don't light bonfires at night. If it weren't for the two people's excellent eyesight, they wouldn't be able to see the slightest trace.
"That's why I don't think I'm fit to be a king..."
Jenkins muttered, and descended with Alexia. At the same time, Alexia used her ability to cover the figures of the two, even if they were flying at low altitude, they were not afraid of being discovered.
After observing for a while, he returned to the city and talked to Dolores about the situation outside. Dolores has also learned from the cronies left in the city that the atmosphere in Loen City has been a bit weird recently. Newspapers never mentioned a word about political issues, and all kinds of lace news occupied most of the pages of various newspapers.
It seems that the city has been cut off from the mainland political situation and domestic intelligence within a few days, which is not a good sign.
"There is a Grand Duke, the Grand Duke with real power, who entered the city yesterday."
Little Princess Agelina Stuart reminded.
"Is it our uncle, Grand Duke Rodbyer?"
Dolores asked, and was answered in the affirmative.
Sarhi II has no real brothers, so the so-called "uncle" should be regarded as a cousin or a close relative. The duke, who was nearly forty years old, was considered to be in his prime, and he had considerable power in the army. He was the toughest duke in existence today.
"Go and meet him."
Dolores thought for a moment and then said.
"As Dolores Stuart?"
Jenkins asked.
"Yes, in his true identity. Now, no matter how many plans my father has, it is impossible for me to go back and forth between Nolan and Ruen at any time like me. We can do things more directly. I believe the Grand Duke will understand what this means. .”
Alexia supported her students, and Jenkins had no reason to object, so he followed along to join in the fun. They were not worried that the duke would tell about the two people's appearance in Loen, let alone whether anyone would believe it, and even if they did, it would be fine. Now it was almost time for a showdown.
This trip was not a formal meeting, so only Dolores and Jenkins went, and their identities were enough. The Duke stayed in his house in Loen, which was a mansion close to the hill where the royal palace was located. Although it was in the city center, it still occupied a large area.
Jenkins and Dolores set off on a unicorn. Her Royal Highness's love for creatures like unicorns made the little beast itself a little bit overwhelmed. Therefore, after landing, he rubbed his face against Jenkins rather dissatisfied, and then disappeared.
The two planned to sneak into the duke's mansion directly, and let Dolores persuade the duke, ask him why he came to Loen, and ask about the successor left behind by Salxi II. It won't be easy, of course, so Jenkins follows suit.
"Wait a minute, first check to see if there is a gifter by the Duke's side."
Jenkins whispered by the wall, blinked his eyes and looked into the wall. As the Duke of Rodbyer, it is possible to hire a gifter to protect him, but Jenkins believes that even if there is, the level will not be very high.
"oh?"
He suddenly sighed suspiciously, with doubts in his eyes:
"Maybe something went wrong..."
He was a little unsure of his judgment, so he took the cat off his shoulder and put it on the ground:
"Wait for me, I'll go back as soon as I go."
Saying that, without waiting for Dolores and Chocolate to object, they climbed into the fence.
"He always does."
Her Royal Highness said with some dissatisfaction, looked around boredly, and looked down at Jenkins' cat after a while.
"Meow meow meow~"
She squatted down with her skirt up, imitating the meowing of a cat with her mouth, and calling for Chocolate to come over. Knowing Jenkins' feelings for her pet cat, Dolores wanted to get close to it when she finally had the chance to be alone with the cat. Besides, Chocolate is indeed a very cute pet cat.
"Meow~"
Chocolate also imitated the meow of an ordinary cat, but instead of continuing to talk to Dolores, she stood in the shadow of the fence, patiently waiting for Jenkins to come back with a well-behaved look.
