Chapter 53: Rebellion in Huadu (2)

Views:

The problem in Ron's mouth was not Fred, but the Alliance,

In fact, after learning about Rosa's series of arrangements, he directly labeled Fred an "idiot." It’s not that our side is ineffective, but that the enemy has a treacherous plan!

However, the plan failed to keep up with the change. Originally, he should have appeared in the Queen's palace tonight, and Jade continued to hide. After Fred appeared, he cooperated internally and externally, and Rosa went along with the flow and gave up the throne.

As a result, the old bastard Garp wanted to protect the queen regardless of discipline and asked himself to follow him to clear out the Baroque Works. This caused an uncontrollable variable in the plan.

"I wonder how the Queen will deal with the old bastard's impromptu initiative. If the participating countries are not charged with murdering the Queen, the crisis will not be resolved..."

Walking at the front of the team, Ron whispered to himself.

Fred was a genius, but the pressure from the alliance was something that even the Queen couldn't ignore, so she had to act like she was being coerced into abdicating her throne. If Fred succeeds successfully in this situation, how should he deal with them? Even if Fred continues to kill the donkey, how much flesh and blood will those franchised countries eat in Huadu during this period

Rosa can hand over the throne to Fred, but she will never allow her people to be betrayed!

So how to deal with those greedy hyenas is the real problem!

At this point, it has become obvious that Fred, Ron, and Garp, including everyone in the Navy Headquarters, World Government, and Baroque Works, are being manipulated by the Queen! !

Unrest in the palace

No, no, no, this is just a test set by the Queen for Fred.

A test to test whether he has the courage to support a kingdom!

After all, the problem is that the queen has no heirs.

Without an heir, it is only a matter of time before the throne will be passed to Fred, the only one with legal inheritance rights.

But Fred's sudden rebellion caught Queen Rosa off guard. After seeing her eldest nephew's desire for the throne, Rosa simply used a trick and ordered Jed to fake his death and hide in the dark. Later, he was still afraid that his die-hard members would rather die than surrender, so he left the position of chief of the palace guard to Ron until now, and secretly entrusted him to help Fred.

If the original plan is followed, with the help of Ron, the "Mission Impossible", Fred will successfully succeed to the throne tomorrow and the Queen will step down.

Three days later, the queen disappeared, and the undercover began to spread rumors that Fred had killed the late king and betrayed the interests of the people in exchange for support, making the alliance of alliances suspicious of each other. After all, they need to be on the same front as Fred in order to draw blood from the fat piece of Huadu. If Fred falls, who will benefit in the end

When the situation develops to the point of imminent rebellion (of course, this is also the queen's back-up plan), the queen who has "recuperated" will stand up and produce evidence to prove that Fred was not involved in her murder (of course the evidence is also forged) ), pointing out that this matter was all orchestrated by the accomplices of the participating countries!

At that time, if Fred wants to secure the throne and face his aunt who supports his innocence, tearfully (laughing) breaking the alliance is his only way out.

If any member of the Allied Powers dissatisfied, Huadu is not afraid of war. At the same time, a big war can completely unite the citizens and soldiers and accept Fred's rule. In addition, the Queen explicitly supported Fred and the Allied Powers in murdering the Queen. The Allied Powers gained nothing but made themselves embarrassed! !

Finally, the navy will annihilate the Baroque Working Group tonight, all internal and external troubles in Huadu will be eliminated, and Fred's royal power will be stable. At this point, Rosa's goal has been achieved.

When he learned Queen Rosa's complete plan, Ron was confused for three minutes.

These tactics players are simply terrifying! ! !

Of course, this is the most perfect plan, and there will definitely be some uncontrollable variables along the way. For example, now... I, the captain of the guard who should be guarding the palace, is now guarding a group of prisoners in the wilderness. I should be guarding this group of prisoners. The prisoner Garp was protecting the queen in the palace.

If he hadn't appeared, Fred wouldn't have believed that Rosa would give in so easily. If the words are made clear, there may be changes in future plans. Ron didn't know if there was a way to break the situation, but Rosa definitely had one!

Bang! !

Black soot ignited a fire in the palace, and the guards panicked. Some wanted to ensure the queen's safety, while others thought they should focus on putting out the fire, and they kept making noisy noises.

Fred's confidants placed in the palace were also confused at this moment. Judging from the current situation, their boss has been exposed

So what should we do

Should he follow the guards to put out the fire, or should he just stop doing anything and completely change the palace

I didn’t even leave a message in advance!

At this moment, a figure flew from a distance, smashed into the wall and fell to the ground. These criminals looked at him blankly, and then turned their attention to the tall and strong man outside the hole, holding up the door panel and sword.

"J... General Jade?!!!"

A group of people were stunned as if they had seen a ghost. Many of them saw with their own eyes the center of the storm where Jed was hit by Mr. 1. Judging from the terrifying climate of the Grand Line, Jed should have drowned long ago!

Why is it here

Fred also wanted to know this question, but now was not the time.

"Why are you still standing there? Stop him!!"

"Yes... understand!"

The boss's appearance has definitely been exposed. These people dare to follow Fred and rebel, and they feel ruthless in their hearts. Now that the relationship between the enemy and the enemy was clear, they all took out their weapons and rushed towards Jade.

"Hahahaha! Are these your subordinates too? Jade, just leave it to me!"

Before they could rush out, a figure suddenly appeared in the center of the room. Fred's pupils shrank, he smashed into the wall without thinking, and ran away in a hurry. The hearty laughter attracted the attention of the crowd. When they looked back, several of them immediately fell to the ground.

"Navy hero, Iron Fist Garp!!!"

"Yes, it's me!"

Garp grinned widely and waved his big palm-like hand forward. There was no unnecessary movement. After the strong wind passed, these rebels looked at their empty palms and were stunned.

"Where are my weapons?"

"Here they are, little ones!"

Garp was holding a large bundle of miscellaneous weapons in his arms. He smiled and threw the weapons directly. Suddenly, the overwhelming steel storm rushed straight into the crowd. The latter's eyes widened in horror, and they were beaten in panic.

Boom!

laugh!

After a series of collisions, only Garp and Jed, who had just approached, were still standing in the room.

"This kid ran away pretty fast! But... he's too naive!!"

Looking at the direction Fred was escaping from, Jed raised his hand and raised the broad sword in his hand. He didn't lift the sword very quickly, but the moment he drew the sword, a terrifying tornado of air was blown out, blowing the solid stone palace away.

The fishman karate steps on the romantic stone tornado!

Boom! ! !

Tons of boulders were flying all over the sky, being rolled up by the air currents, forming a long dragon, heading towards Fred in the distance. Feeling the crisis coming from behind, Fred secretly gritted his teeth and touched his hands together.

Soot explodes! !

Bang...chi!

A ball of sparks burst out from his hands, and the thick smoke was quickly ignited and burned. The next moment...

Boom! !

Boom! ! !

The power of the dust explosion is enough to crack mountains and crack rocks, not to mention the coal powder produced by Fred's fruit power. The stone tornado had just submerged into the soot area and was directly shattered by the explosion! The rubble that lost the agitation of air flow fell from the sky, and when it hit the ground, a crater formed.

But even though he cracked Jed's killer move, Fred was not happy. He was too close, and the impact of the coal explosion threw him away hard. He fell to the ground and his bones were screaming.

"Damn it!! Jed... is actually a fish man!!!"

No wonder he didn't drown when he fell into the center of the storm. No wonder he was able to return to Huadu after blocking the port. It turned out that he was a fishman! !

In nearly thirty years since childhood, Fred knew this secret for the first time!

"No, we must escape!"

In addition to Jed, the people chasing him are also Garp, who is much scarier than Jed! The reason Fred didn't dare to stop was because of Garp. He tried to push himself up and looked ahead.

If I remember correctly, leaving the palace from this direction is the embassy where the nobles of the Allied Powers live. Once there, Garp would never dare to take action in front of a large number of nobles from the participating countries, and if it was just Jed, Fred thought he might not lose!

Boom!

He punched the shield of the resister in front of him, smashing it into the ruins and turning it into a puddle of flesh. Garp looked at the direction Fred slipped away and said to Jade.

"Jade, the Queen wants me to clean up the rebels in the palace, can Fred leave it to you?"

"Hmph! What a boring question!"

Jed shouldered his heavy sword, which was as wide as a door panel, with a look of disdain on his face. Immediately, he stepped down hard with his right foot, and his whole body soared into the sky at a flying speed. When a gigantic creature weighing over a ton made such an action, the strong wind blew up and roared in all directions, making people unsteady on their feet.

Fish-man karate, step on the wind and the secret of the wind!

Jed just walked over the palace with steps similar to moon steps. On the ground, Garp touched his beard and was confused.

I always feel like Jed has some strange grudge against me

When did I provoke him

"Kill! Kill Garp!"

"He is a navy, and we are a member of the World Government. Don't be afraid! He doesn't dare to kill!"

At this time, a shout attracted Garp's attention. Looking at the palace soldiers surrounding him, a circle of black flames visible to the naked eye burst out from Garp's body, and his whole body was filled with evil spirits: "Don't you dare?! You can come and try it!!"

After saying that, Garp waved his fist and rushed into the flock.

If it were the Navy, others would not dare to attack the participating countries at will, but if it was the old bastard Garp... I wonder what he couldn't do

Not to mention that men, young and old alike, have a hard time staying sane in front of the woman they love.

Ambassador Manor, third floor.

"How is His Highness Andrew?"

An old nobleman wearing a black slim-fitting robe sat at the head and asked the servant who closed the door.

"Sir, his life is not in danger, but the injury is too serious, and the doctor is not sure when he will wake up."

"Hmph! It doesn't matter whether that loser dies or not!"

A strong man pursed his lips in disdain, and then said: "Count Geno, why do you think the queen suddenly appointed that brat from the navy as the chief of the palace guard?"

Andrew's life and death are not worth mentioning to them. He is just a prince of a small country. The focus now is Rosa's attitude. Faced with so many of them gathering to exert pressure, can Rosa still make a comeback

joke!

Tigers are also afraid of wolves!

Even the colorful tiger in Huadu cannot withstand the threat they can create by joining forces. Fred's rise to power is a sure thing.

The old man named Geno was not in a hurry to speak, although he could not understand the Queen's decision. In the future, when Fred takes over, that navy brat will definitely be eliminated. Everyone in this group of people is more aware of the tricks under the royal power. But for Rosa, Geno didn't dare to take it lightly. That is a ruthless person who can use her daughter to seize power in the royal war. To say that she has no hidden purpose is simply to humiliate the royal bloodline that died decades ago!

Could it be that... Huadu has hooked up with the World Government

This was the only possibility Jeno could think of.

Although the World Government is not allowed to interfere in the political struggles of the participating countries at will, since it is under the rule of the World Government, everyone must give face to the five. What's more, he had also heard about Kobra's joint letter. Wulaoxing did not directly ask the navy to evacuate, which was already a subtle expression of attitude.

The lightning stimulation instrument is of great importance. Apart from Wulaoxing and related researchers, only the top brass of the Navy Headquarters and the CP organization are aware of the transactions involved. So from an uninformed perspective, the more Geno thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Things may have changed!

Geno looked up at this group of nobles who were grouped together for their own interests, and frowned silently.

If things really get to that point, this group of trash alone won't be enough to shake Huadu!

so…

"Sir Andre, please immediately arrange for people to contact Fred and tell him that we will help him inherit the throne at any cost. Now Rosa's attitude has changed. Everyone must unite to completely overthrow Rosa and get a share. soup."

For nobles, any great talk is empty. Only outright interests can allow them to make rational judgments.

If Rosa does not fall, then everything will be empty talk, and their early efforts will be in vain. When they return to the country in the future, the interest disputes among the nobles will give them a good drink.

The strong man Andre knew this, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "I know!"

If things really develop into an uncontrollable situation, it is not impossible for them to do assassination, poisoning and killing.

At this moment, an explosion woke up everyone.

Everyone looked back and saw smoke and dust billowing from the palace under the night cover, and fire dragons rising into the sky!

"What happened?!"

"That's the palace! The palace is on fire!"

"It's incredible! There are fires everywhere in the palace, and the guards are of no use at all!"

"What? Send someone to put out the fire quickly, nothing can happen to Rosa now!"

They had just decided on the policy and hadn't even had time to take action. Why did the palace explode? Even if they want to kill Rosa, they must make all preparations with Fred before they can take action.

Geno was still sitting in his seat, watching the guards running towards the palace. Suddenly he frowned, thought of a possibility, and quickly stopped him: "No! Let everyone come back. Don't do it without my order." Close to the palace!"

"Um??"

Seeing that the nobles looked confused, Geno's eyebrows twitched. He ignored the noble etiquette and shouted with a red face: "Hurry up!! This is a trap!!"

"What?!"

"Oh my God! That's it!"

The nobles woke up one after another. Indeed, if their people appeared in the palace now, wouldn't it just give the queen an excuse to launch an attack. As long as the queen insists that they set the fire, and kills a few people and points out that this is the culprit, then it will be like mud falling into the crotch, it is either shit or shit!

After thinking about this, everyone took a breath.

What a ruthless method!

She is indeed the famous "Queen of Thousand Faces" Rosa!

This fire was set out deliberately for them to see!

"Damn Rosa!"

The out-tempered Andre pulled off his tie and cursed fiercely: "Trash! What are you doing standing still? Call me back right now!!"

A few minutes later, everyone returned to the ambassador's manor, and all the nobles expressed their gratitude to Geno. If he hadn't clearly seen the Queen's sinister intentions and ordered the withdrawal of the personnel in time, most of them would have been labeled by Rosa as assassins of the Queen. By then, let alone Fred, the World Government will not be able to protect them, and they will negotiate a crappy deal!

Fred was eager to take the opportunity to kill a few people to maintain the situation!

And these so-called allies will never provide help when the time comes, they will only add insult to injury!

There are only so many benefits. If you die, everyone will share more!

Earl Geno also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Everyone should stay vigilant tonight. Even if the whole king is in chaos, don't take action!"

"I understand!"

However, at this time, the nobles who were anxious to mobilize personnel did not realize that a group of guys pretending to be guards were taking advantage of the chaos to leave some kind of mysterious powder all over the ambassador's manor.

After arranging the watch tonight, Geno was about to go back to his room to rest, when suddenly a figure crashed through the wall and rolled into the garden. A large group of people who had just heaved a sigh of relief had dark faces and couldn't help but curse Rosa endlessly. But when they saw clearly who the person was, their eyes popped out in surprise: "General Fred, you are so stupid What's going on?"

"Cough...cough!"

Fred spit out the blood in his mouth, looked up at the nobles around him, and licked his lips. At this point, Garp didn't dare to take action anymore, and the only one left was his swordsmanship teacher, Jade!

So he looked anxious and said quickly: "Something is wrong! Rosa wants to strike first and let Captain Jed, who has returned from suspended animation, and Lieutenant General Garp of the Navy join forces to kill me. Hurry up!" Help me stop them!"

"Nani?!"

"Is Rosa crazy?!"

The nobles were all surprised. If Fred died, who would succeed her as the king in the future? ! Without the royal bloodline to inherit the throne, Huadu will surely fall apart. Heroes from all walks of life shout, "Princes, generals, ministers, are you sure of your kind?" !

The "Queen of Thousand Faces" is using the future of Huadu to tell them that she would rather die than surrender!

"This crazy bitch!"

Geno was angry but also relieved. Since Rosa broke the pot, it meant that even if she promised any benefits in front of the Five Old Stars, it would not be enough to make the Five Old Stars completely side with her. In this way, they don't have to be so timid.

Of course, the top priority now is to fend off the pursuers, whether it is easier to cooperate with a broken Huadu or a Huadu taken over by Fred. The former can only be regarded as drinking soup, while the latter is eating meat!

"Everyone, Navy Garp and Jade have the audacity to commit crimes and intend to rebel! As allies of Huadu, we have an obligation to protect Fred and the future of Huadu!"

Geno stood at a high place to encourage, and he had high-sounding words at his fingertips. The nobles rolled their eyes and immediately made a duty-bound face: "Protect Fred! Protect Huadu!"

"Hahaha! I want to kill him, but you can stop me?!"

Suddenly, wild and domineering laughter sounded.

The guards shouted and cursed outside the door, and soon followed by an explosion and the door flew in together. Jade had already put on his own heavy black armor at this time, with a large sword as wide as a door panel on his shoulder, and he was holding a guard by the neck with one hand, as if he were holding a chicken.

As soon as he threw it away, the guard flew out of the wall and disappeared without a sound.

"Big... bold!"

A nobleman's mouth trembled with anger, he stood up and cursed: "You warrior, do you know who we are? Who gave you the courage to run wild here!"

"Well... well..."

Jade put down his sword and touched the back of his head. Just when the noble thought that Jed was scared off by his threat, the latter suddenly grinned: "If you don't know who you are, go back and ask your mother! It's none of my business! I'm not your father!"

"you!!"

The nobles were holding back their old blood in their chests. Although they were good at plotting, scheming, scolding, and malicious arrangements, if they really wanted to say "dirty" like a common man in the market, a beggar could beat them eight blocks away!

Jade let out a strange laugh, "Hey, hey!" He waved the door panel sword, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, and gently slapped it down. Suddenly, a strong wind burst out! Looking at the direction of the tornado, it was clearly heading towards the crowd of nobles.

"Damn it!"

Fred doesn't dare to be careless now. Although these people are not important to him, they are crucial to his throne! If everything is lost here, let alone whether he can continue to succeed to the throne, the pressure from the country behind the noble will make him desperate!

Without saying a word, Fred jumped forward, his feet unsteady, his body slightly crouched, and he inserted a large sword as wide as a door panel diagonally into the soil, blocking it in front of his body.

Bang!

The next moment, a tornado of wind hit the sword and exploded into countless wind blades that scattered in all directions, plowing the grass to pieces. Fred groaned and remained motionless.

Jeno and the others who were blocked behind Fred were fine, but the ordinary soldiers gathered around suddenly fell to the ground in mourning. The sharpness of the phoenix blade made them covered with bruises. They couldn't die even if they wanted to, and could only watch helplessly as they were cut off. His hands, feet and arms let out desperate wails.

Boom…

Putting the big sword back on his shoulder, Jade grinned: "This move is very good, but I taught you all your swordsmanship. Do you think I will be that stupid? This move is called Wind Flow, Swift Wind and Hard Vortex. , specially used to harvest enemies on a large scale.”

"hateful!"

Fred gritted his teeth, and streaks of powdery black smoke emerged from his shoulders, quickly wrapping around Jed like tentacles. The flying black smoke was constantly flashing with sparks, which was reminiscent of a gunpowder explosion.

"Coal fruit?"

Jade did not dare to underestimate this ability. He stepped on the ground with his right foot and swung the big sword up with his backhand.

The fishman karate steps on the wind and mud tornado!

Suddenly, the soil underfoot that had been split and plowed by the wind blade was carried by the air current, and rotated at high speed, converging into a long line of soil several meters thick. Those soldiers who were too late to stay away from the battlefield were involved in it, turning into nourishment for the mud dragon in the constant collision, and the corpses dyed it red.

Walking on the wind and roaring with hundreds of cracks!

The simple tornado wind is not enough to stop the soot black dragon. The real power of that thing lies in the subsequent explosion. The reason why Devil Fruits are demonized is because they completely go against common sense and create miracles out of the impossible. Jade believed that his fish skin could not withstand the explosion, so he pulled the raised sword down and slashed it at the red mud dragon in front of him.

call out! call out! call out!

The external air current instantly severed the mud dragon's rotation, turning it into countless red projectiles wrapped in strong winds, and struck forward fiercely.

"Sure enough, you can't get close!"

Fred frowned and snapped his fingers in front of the mud pellets that hit him like cannonballs.

Tsk...bang!

Boom! !

Long lines of soot were detonated immediately, making a sound as loud as thunder. The entire flower fell into silence for a moment, and the dazzling fire was instigated by the strong wind. The fire took advantage of the wind and cast a hurricane of flames that spread hundreds of meters into the night.

When Geno and others saw this scene, they didn't dare to think any more and quickly led others to escape into the open space in the backyard of the ambassador's manor. In this world where the strong is respected, you can tactically despise your opponent, but you must never fail to look squarely at the strength gap between the two sides. In this world, you can destroy the other party's family by relying on conspiracy, and the other party can also kill your whole family by relying on absolute force.

Obviously, Jed and Fred are the latter. Their political acumen may not be as good as this group of old nobles, but their strength is extraordinary!

In the front yard, just as Fred took a breath, Jade was already coming to kill him with a big sword. He had to raise his sword to block and fight with the opponent.

"That's why I won't teach you Tachibana Karate, Fred!"

While Jed was slashing, he pointed at the ordinary people around him who were wailing and screaming in the flame tornado: "Your fruit ability combined with the wind-walking flow is too out of control!"

"Haha! In order to deal with me, you have to keep it straight. Don't be so hypocritical, Teacher Jade!"

Fred remained unmoved and continued to use his fruit abilities and sword skills. Suddenly he sneered, found the opportunity, and punched Jed's sword with his fist.

Zizzi!

Noticing sparks appearing where his fists collided, Jade cursed under his breath and pulled back. Immediately afterwards, a strong explosive flame came from his sword, which made his arm numb and he almost dropped the sword. Waiting to rush out of the explosion range, Jade's long ghost-like hair was scorched and curled by the flames, and his waxy skin was now even more yellow.

This is smoked... Please refer to bacon for the principle.

"Ahem... That's interesting!"

Spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, Jade took half a step back and suddenly punched out the same way.

Fish Man Karate Five Thousand Wa Shoken!

"Nani?!"

Fred, who had just come to kill with a sword, did not expect Jade to make this move. He was caught off guard and could only block the fist with his shoulder armor. Then a heartbreaking pain hit him, and the heavy black armored shoulders made of precious metals hit him. It was cracked everywhere, like fragile porcelain.

puff!

Fred immediately flew backwards and hit the ground, vomiting blood.

"Kid! I only practice swordsmanship for fighting. Don't forget that I am a fish-man! This is my strongest weapon!"

The severe pain in his arm made Fred not in the mood to listen to Jed's nonsense. He switched the sword to his left hand, threw his right hand forward, and shouted with a ferocious expression.

"Devil's Claw!!"

Click, click, click!

The flesh-and-blood arm suddenly turned black, and coal-like lines appeared on the surface of the skin. At the same time, the arm quickly enlarged in the air, turning into a giant black hand that could cover a house with one claw, and it struck Jade fiercely.

"Nani? Can the Superman type be used like this?!"

If it weren't for the fact that Fred didn't have an elemental physique, Jade would have doubted his life.

The devil's claw came quickly and urgently. Jade estimated his speed and was unable to stay away from the attack range before landing. Moreover, this claw was transformed from Fred's arm, so even if you dodge it once, you can't avoid subsequent pursuits.

If so, break it!

Jade gritted his teeth, and the fish-man's natural cruelty spread out. Facing the captured devil's claw, he firmly grasped it with his right hand, turned his wrist, and turned the giant sword from upright to tilted. Then he took a deep breath, drew his sword and raised it at an angle!

"The secret of riding on the wind will be shattered by the wind!"

Buzz!

Countless strong winds instantly condensed on the sword blade, and the sharp buzzing sound was the giant sword vibrating at an extremely high frequency. Following Jade's movements, the sword blade wrapped with terrifying power collided with the devil's claws, tearing the air and screaming continuously.

At this moment, Fred roared and shouted: "Explode!!"

"not good!!"

Jade never expected that this claw, which was obviously an illusion of Fred's arm, could be detonated, or that he was even willing to detonate it? ! Even if he is a user with the Coal Fruit ability, after the self-destruction, his arm and meridians will be seriously injured, or it will be completely destroyed!

But now it was too late. The moment the sword blade collided with the giant claw, the fire took over everything.

The next moment, everything becomes silent!

Boom... boom! ! !

In the distance, inside the palace.

Rosa sat in her bedroom, holding scissors and flower branches, cutting off the excess branches and inserting them into the vase. Outside the window, there was a battle to eliminate the rebels, wailing and roaring, fighting and yelling, and Garp's wild laughter could be clearly seen even across the three small courtyards. Further away, Jed and Fred were fighting endlessly, and the people of the royal capital were in panic, struggling in the chaos caused by thugs and ruffians.

Rosa seemed not to know this, she remained as calm as water, looking at the two remaining roses on the table, wondering how to choose.

At this time, an earth-shattering explosion sounded, and the strong vibration was felt even here.

"Um?"

This finally interrupted Rosa's movements. She tilted her head slightly, frowning her eyebrows that still showed her youth. Even in her old age, she still retains the grace and elegance of a queen.

"The power seems to be too much... Well, no matter what, if I don't give you some pain, everyone will treat me as the Queen of Thousand Faces and easy to bully!"

In fact, Jeno would never have guessed that Rosa’s real purpose was not to get them to the palace, but to get them together!

Rosa knew very well how cunning those nobles were. She wanted to prevent them from feeling that they had seen through everything and that her decision was correct, but she could not catch them all.
