Chapter 891 Rumors

For humans, cities are always harbors of civilization, even if they are ruined. After retaking the city, the coalition army temporarily stationed here. Being able to return from the wind and rain and sleep in the open air seemed to be a relief to most people.

Although the city has been abandoned for a long time, most places are still intact. For the noble magicians accompanying them, being able to return to the civilized world is also a kind of salvation.

"Finally being able to return to the civilized world is really a feeling of deep emotion."

Sitting on a chair, picking up the steaming black tea in his hand, Viscount Julius said with emotion, and the noble sitting opposite him also chuckled.

"Yes, His Royal Highness is still far-sighted. Even if he can't take down the Northland Fortress, being able to take down this city is already a great achievement."

"Speaking of which, that old guy Gaius is really talkative."

Speaking of this, Viscount Julius snorted coldly.

"The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be. It will be difficult to march when the cold wave comes... Really, he contradicts His Royal Highness on everything. I don't know what the old guy wants to do."

"He just wants to emphasize his authority as a general to His Royal Highness."

The companions didn't care about it and sneered.

They are all descendants of nobles with prominent status. They have been following His Royal Highness since a long time ago. It can be imagined that when the prince succeeds to the king, they will also take their own status and power. Perhaps this is why they are very dissatisfied with Gaius's behavior.

In the eyes of these young people, Gaius is already a backward person who has been eliminated by the times. They will work with His Royal Highness Prince Algard to create a brand new Kingdom of Paletia and a brand new era.

Because the users of elven magic are the most noble and supreme existence.

While drinking precious black tea, the children of the nobles chatted and looked at the street scene outside with complacency. Unlike them, the magicians who used the human magic system were not so free and easy. They had to use their magic to move stones and wood, and then repair the damaged walls and houses. The nobles all sneered at this.

Magic itself is a noble existence, and it is not used for such lowly work. It can be seen from this that the so-called human magic system is just a lower existence than the elf magic, and the only people who use that kind of inferior magic are those civilians who have incompetent blood and cannot sign a contract with the elves.

"Mr. Julius, you don't seem very happy?"

Looking at the somewhat bored viscount, someone soon asked curiously, and Viscount Julius also sighed.

"Well, it's true. Although the decoration here is acceptable, it's a pity that there are no beautiful flowers to decorate it. It's really a pity, isn't it?"

"You are right..."

Hearing Viscount Julius's sigh, others also responded. For the nobles, such social occasions are of course indispensable to beauties. Unfortunately, this was a march to fight, not a picnic out of the city. Most of the coalition army was men, so naturally there were no noble women dancing here.

Speaking of women, there were some female adventurers, but for the nobles, those adventurers were not worth their attention.

The only ones left were... Enisfia, Euphilia and Tilty.

But these three were not easy to mess with.

Enisfia had long been kept away by the nobles because of her eccentricity. Tilty liked to collect curses and had a bad reputation, so naturally everyone dared not approach her.

As for Euphilia———I'm kidding, you're trying to chat up the next princess, what if you don't want to live?

"Speaking of which, I have heard some strange rumors."

Women like gossip, and in fact, men are almost the same when they get together. Soon someone spoke up.

"Oh? What rumors?"

"I just heard that..."

The person who spread the topic first gave himself a BUFF, and then looked around, with a sly look.

"I heard that some guards saw that when Her Highness Enisfia and others returned from patrol, they would go to the room of the Iron Warrior and would not come out until the next morning."

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, the bored noble heirs suddenly perked up.

"Of course, I just heard about it. I don't know the details."

"Hmm......"

Hearing this, the others also frowned and pondered, while Viscount Julius narrowed his eyes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Do you think His Majesty the King will find a husband for Princess Enisfia?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Viscount Julius' words, the others were shocked.

"My Lord Viscount, do you mean... that Iron Warrior will become Her Highness Enisfia's fiancé?"

"Because this is very strange?"

Faced with the questioning of others, Viscount Julius smiled and stretched out his hand, making a gesture.

"According to the information I have inquired, His Majesty the King and the judge who claims to be from the Tribunal are in a cooperative relationship. This time, the joint army is also a joint alliance between our Paletia Kingdom Army and the Tribunal. The judge also has the power to command the army. Otherwise, why did he kill Moritz, but no one could punish him?"

"……………………

Hearing this name, the expressions of the others suddenly changed slightly. At that time, Duanmu Huai tore Moritz apart in front of all the nobles in the military camp and tore his head off. Naturally, the nobles from the Kingdom of Paletia were shocked. According to reason, Duanmu Huai should have been executed immediately, but he was fine. Later, the nobles learned that the guy who claimed to be the judge signed an alliance treaty with His Majesty the King, which means that in terms of commanding the joint army, he has the same power as Algard... Wait!

"Lord Julius, do you mean...Princess Enesphia will take back the right to inherit the throne?"

Another noble heir asked with a sullen face.

Think about it carefully. According to reason, no matter how capable Duanmu Huai is, he should not kill the son of the chief official of the Ministry of Magic. But the premise is that he has no conflict of interest with the other party!

If that man is indeed Enesphia's fiancé, then in principle, his status is the same as Prince Algard and he has the right to inherit the throne.

In this way, his previous action of killing Moritz in the meeting can be understood - that was to eliminate future political enemies!

Thinking of this, the faces of those noble heirs changed.

"But, didn't Her Highness Enisfia announce that she gave up her right to inherit the throne a long time ago?"

"So what? Her Highness was just a child at that time. Wouldn't she be able to take back her right to inherit the throne by just saying that she had not considered it carefully?"

"Wait, in other words, the goal of this operation is not only to recapture the Northern Fortress, but also a test for Prince Algard? If he loses, then Her Highness Enisfia may be able to take back her right to inherit the throne?!"

For a moment, everyone in the hall, which was originally quite leisurely, became nervous instantly.

This is absolutely not okay!

You know, because Enisfia has been unable to sign a contract and use elven magic since she was a child, many people laugh at her, including the noble heirs who follow Prince Algard. Especially after Enisfia announced that she gave up her right to inherit the throne, everyone's evaluation of her became even more unscrupulous.

At that time, everyone believed that Prince Algard would definitely inherit the throne, and then marry Enisfia far away, so they didn't care.

But now...if Enisfia really inherits the throne, then they are doomed!

Let alone Enisfia's heretical thoughts on magic, just based on the fact that they have been mocking Enisfia since childhood, they don't believe that she will let them go.

Not to mention that man!

Just thinking of that iron warrior, the nobles' heirs couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. The other party's terrifying sense of oppression was beyond their ability to bear, so on weekdays, those nobles didn't dare to go to where Duanmu Huai was. They were afraid that he would pull off his head and throw it on the table if he was unhappy.

Although I don't know his background, I can see from his previous actions that he is an extremely brutal and barbaric demon who can kill them without caring about his noble status!

Is he really not a demon? !

"This can't be true!"

"Absolutely impossible, how could that man become the king?"

"But His Majesty the King seems to be very optimistic about him, otherwise he wouldn't have signed the agreement..."

"This is impossible! Prince Algard has the support of our nobles, what does Her Highness Enisfia have? Even if she takes a step back, what can she do with that man alone?"

"He can kill all of you."

Just as the noble heirs were arguing, Viscount Julius spoke again. His words were like a gust of cold wind, blowing past the noble heirs, making them stop arguing involuntarily.

"This, this is impossible!"

"Why is it impossible?"

Looking at the noble heirs who were looking at him and trembling all over, Viscount Julius spread his hands.

"Everyone, this is a war, our war with the demons, it is certain that people will die in the war. If you die in the war with the demons, then... no one can say anything, right?"

"……………………"

Everyone shuddered.

Indeed, this is a war, a war with the demons. If it really starts, who knows what will happen. If I get killed in the chaos, then everything will be over? Even if the other party is suspected, it is useless without evidence!

"Then, what should we do?"

"It's very simple."

Looking at the noble heir in front of him, Viscount Julius smiled.

"We need to inform the prince and strike first."

"With the prince? But......"

"Do you have anything else to say?"

However, Viscount Julius looked at the gossiper again, and the latter hesitated.

"Yes, in fact, I heard that... Miss Euphilia seems to be among them."

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Agnesfia likes to play nonsense, and Tierti is a witch that makes people fear. It is not surprising to the nobles that they do any ridiculous things, but Euphilia... is the prince's fiancée, The next princess!

The next princess went to other men's residences and didn't come back all night?

real or fake?

Doesn’t that mean that on His Highness the Prince’s head…………

"I just heard, I just heard!"

Seeing other people looking at him, the gossip guy from before was also frightened and waved his hand hurriedly.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes. I just heard what the guards said. It has nothing to do with me!"

"No way, that Miss Euphilia wouldn't do something so shameless, would she?"

"It shouldn't be..."

Although this news was indeed explosive, the heirs of the nobles could not believe it for a while. After all, Euphilia was a perfect noble daughter, and it was impossible for her to do such a thing. It’s not like Anisphia and Tierti who like to mess around...

"In any case, this appears to be an unusual incident."

Viscount Julius stood up.

"I think it is necessary to advise His Highness the Prince. Even if it is a rumor, spreading such rumors is too outrageous and will affect the reputation of the royal family and the nobility."

Speaking of this, Viscount Julius looked serious.

"I will request a meeting with His Royal Highness to resolve this issue."
