Hearing this, Burt and Joshua, who were sitting below, both showed expressions of sudden realization.
So, that’s why the other party’s attitude changed so quickly; they had already dug a hole here.
From this, it can be seen that the other party obviously detected something.
They might have even guessed the increasingly harsh survival environment of Princess Ariel in the Royal Capital.
Upon realizing this, both of them couldn’t help but sigh softly.
It seemed that this new City Lord of Cyan Town was undoubtedly more difficult to deal with than they imagined.
But, according to rumors, the other party was just an Otherworldly Lord who hadn’t been here for long. They should have very limitedinformation.
Why would they understand the current affairs of the Coldflame Kingdom so well? It was simply baffling.
“Didn’t I already say it once before? Of course… of course I’m here on a diplomatic mission for my Coldflame Royal Family. ”
On the other hand, Ariel still had an expression as if it were only natural, trying hard to maintain her composure.
However, from the fingers of her hand clutching her delicate pendant in front of her chest, completely white due to the force, it was apparent that she wasn’t as calm as she appeared.
Leo Ray, who noticed this keenly, raised his eyebrows slightly.
He then put on a determined expression and said, “Fine, in that case, I have no choice but to send someone to escort you all back to the Royal Capital.”
“Wait… wait a minute!”
On the other side, Princess Ariel could no longer hold back and hurriedly spoke, “I suddenly remembered, we indeed have another matter for coming here.”
“Please tell me the details.” Leo Ray nodded slightly, raised his hand slowly, and signaled the other party to continue.
Taking a deep breath, Ariel, with a somewhat solemn look on her face, continued, “I’m sure you’ve heard of it, haven’t you?
Recently, my brothers have been very active in the Royal Capital. They even frequently exchanged pleasantries with weapons, making the entire Royal Capital quite lively.
And due to my father’s advanced age and illness, he has no time to take care of my brothers.”
As she said this, Princess Ariel adjusted the brilliant crown on her head, her face looking a little bleak for a moment.
But this weak look was fleeting.
Soon after, a refined and elegant look returned to her delicate cheeks: “In short, I am a person who likes quietness, so naturally, I don’t want to stay in a place full of killings and disputes every day.
So, I took the opportunity of this diplomatic mission to relax a bit.”
After listening to her explanation, Leo Ray picked up his porcelain cup, took a sip of the freshly-added fragrant tea, and showed a thoughtful look.
Undoubtedly, judging from Ariel’s casual tone, it seemed that the situation in Coldflame Royal City wasn’t that chaotic.
However, further analyzing from her panicked expression just now about not wanting to return to the Royal Capital, the situation was obviously much more severe than what she had said.
After all, she was a member of the Coldflame Royal Family and was naturally more cautious in her choice of words than others.
“If my guess is not wrong, the struggle for the throne in the Coldflame Royal
City should have entered a fierce stage, and it may even threaten Ariel’s personal safety.”
Gently putting down the teacup in his hand, Leo Ray looked at Ariel, who was pretending to be calm, and continued to think.
“Furthermore, as for why she chose to come to this Cyan Town, it’s actually easy to understand.
Firstly, this is a remote small town, far away from the Royal Capital. Even if there is a sudden crisis, there will be relatively sufficient time to react and prepare.
Secondly, my identity as an Otherworldly Lord who has just arrived not long ago,
is undoubtedly the only existence among all the City Lords of Coldflame that can be confirmed not to have joined any Prince’s camp.”
With these thoughts in mind, Leo Ray tapped the metal armrest of the throne with his fingers and glanced at Ariel again.
“So, as the Fifth Princess of Coldflame, she chose to come to this Cyan Town.
Obviously, this can maximize her assurance that she won’t be schemed against by a City Lord who has secretly joined one of the Prince’s camps.
After all, those who want her to disappear are only those Princes with the right of succession to the throne.
The combination of the two conditions above and the opportunity to venture to Cyan Town made it natural that the Fifth Princess of Coldflame wouldn’t easily miss it.
It seems that this should be her real motivation for coming here.”
Upon realizing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips upward slightly, thinking to himself in secret, “Of course, although the other party’s schemes are very detailed, as I thought before, for us, this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Not only can we obtain extensive information about the Coldflame Royal
Family, but we may even control the entire Coldflame Kingdom through Ariel’s
nanas. ‘I’ms IS not an Imposs1D1e task.”
At this moment, with some restlessness in his heart, Leo Ray’s gaze swept back and forth over the people below, his face showing a trace of solemnity. Having said that, in contrast, if Princess Ariel stayed here for too long, it would inevitably attract the attention of the other Princes.
It cannot be ruled out that these people would send a large number of spies and assassins into the city to gather intelligence and carry out assassinations.
By then, Cyan Town would naturally become the target of those Princes and their subordinate forces.
Therefore, our side must develop to a level where we can confront them before that moment arrives to better cope with such a crisis.
“In short, perhaps this is what they call opportunities and challenges coexisting. I believe there will be many interesting things happening at that time.”
With this thought, Leo Ray cheered up, playing with the teacup in his hand.
Then he said to Ariel, “Alright, since our dear Her Highness the Fifth Princess has told us her true purpose, we are now comrades on the same boat.”
With a slight smile, Leo Ray continued, “Please follow me, I will have the maids take you to your respective rooms. When the banquet begins, I will send someone to inform you.”
Upon hearing this, Princess Ariel and the two Kingdom Generals couldn’t help but show puzzled expressions again.
Why did he go around in circles just to end it like this? Wouldn’t he ask about other matters?
It had to be said that the young new City Lord in front of them was truly incomprehensible.
While feeling puzzled, Princess Ariel and her party followed the maids upstairs to the City Lord Mansion under their guidance.
After the princess and her entourage left with confusion, only Leo Ray’s subordinates remained in the hall.
At this moment, he stroked his chin and fell into deep thought once more.
In order to ensure foolproof measures, he still needed to make some arrangements in the next steps and further obtain information from Ariel..
