Chapter 126 Doubt
Copenhagen is the largest city in the province of Aberdeen and the political, economic and cultural center of the province.

The supreme ruler of Aberdeen, the duke's residence of the Grand Duke Edwards, is naturally located in Copenhagen.

Before Anthony and Princess Yalena and their party reached the gate of Copenhagen, they saw two teams of mighty and majestic knights lined up neatly on both sides of the official road.

At the front of the line, a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance and a very scholarly temperament greeted him enthusiastically.

"Princess Yalena, we meet again. If I had known that you were coming, I would have left two days later and returned to Aberdeen with you."

The middle-aged man with scholarly temperament was the Grand Duke Edwards who had returned from the imperial capital two days earlier.

"Uncle Edwards is an elder, so there is no reason for you to wait for me. Besides, on the way here, we have already received news of Taranto's rebellion. The province of Aberdeen is adjacent to it. Uncle rushed back to sit in charge. It can just prevent the Duke of Keqishi from any unruly actions against the province of Aberdeen. How can such an important military matter be delayed because of me alone."

Yalina has a very close relationship with the Edwards family, and only calls the Grand Duke uncle.

The Grand Duke Edwards laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, the princess is still so humble and polite. This is not a place for conversation. Come, come, come back to my mansion and talk about it in detail."

The Grand Duke was not too polite, he led the way first, and led the princess and his party to the Grand Duke's mansion.

Inside the mansion, the Grand Duke Edwards had already ordered people to prepare a sumptuous banquet.As soon as everyone arrives, the table can be opened immediately.

Yalina grabbed the sleeve of the Grand Duke and said in a low voice: "Uncle Edwards, the frontline battle in Edinburgh Province is urgent, and the rebellion in Taranto Province is also very important. I think we should forget about this banquet. Uncle Yalena has accepted your kindness, let's talk about business."

"The Duke is very clear about the purpose of the princess's visit. Your Majesty's urgent official documents are still in my study." The Grand Duke Edwards said with a relaxed smile, "If you want to go to Edinburgh and meet with the Grand Duke Mattias Fighting against the Riga invasion together, Aberdeen thinks he is not capable of this. But if it is the old man Keqishi in the province of Taranto, hehe, I am not boasting, he is not in my eyes at all. Princess You can rest assured."

"Besides, it's getting late now, no matter how anxious you are, it's impossible to lead the army to attack now. You have traveled for a day, and you are exhausted. Make a good repair, and it won't be too late to get up tomorrow."

Having said this, Princess Yalena had no choice but to suppress the worries in her heart and sit down with the Grand Duke.

For a time, the host and guests enjoyed themselves.

Late at night, in the spacious and luxurious room carefully arranged by the Grand Duke Edwards for Yalena.

Anthony and Yalena sat opposite each other.

In the dead of night, it is very wrong for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same room.

But Yalena didn't worry about this at all, because there were several people in the house.

"Azure Juggernaut" Caton, two captains of the guards, Lin Zhifeng and other "Three Heroes of the Southern Union", and his little follower Paul.

Due to various concerns and precautions, His Majesty the King was unable to send an army to the south with his beloved daughter to suppress the rebellion.However, when a dignified princess of a country travels, it is even more important to deal with the important affairs of the family and the country. It is impossible not to even have the minimum guard force.

Thus, a super-elite team composed entirely of silver-ranked fighters followed Yalena to the south.

A total of twenty silver-level professionals may not be able to play any role in the formation of the army.But as guards, they are enough to guarantee the safety of Princess Yalena.

Even a gold fighter like General Frank of the Riga Empire would not dare to attack him directly in the face of the joint attack of twenty silver professionals.If "Azure Juggernaut" Caton is added, Frankie will only have to sit in the dungeon again.

As for Lin Zhifeng and others, of course they were not on the list.They were all brought in only at Anthony's request.

At this moment, everyone is sitting together, naturally they want to discuss the matter of "borrowing troops to counter the rebellion".

As for the key to borrowing troops, the attitude of the owner here, the Grand Duke Edwards, is quite intriguing.

"Looking at the words and actions of the Grand Duke today, it seems that he is not willing to borrow troops." A captain of the guard first expressed his opinion.

The other captain speculated in this direction, but he came to a terrible conclusion: "Could it be that the Grand Duke Edwards is the same as Keqishi of Taranto..."

His guess scared everyone.

With internal and external troubles, the glorious empire will be even more precarious, let alone this.Now there are more than [-] people in a group, but they are still on other people's territory.

Twenty silver fighters and one gold fighter are indeed a very elite and powerful team.But if they were besieged by the large army, the consequences would be the same as those of ordinary people.

Princess Yalina's decisive words pulled everyone back from the terrible speculation: "This is absolutely impossible! Uncle Edwards' family is very close to the royal family, and they also belong to the royalist faction. Besides, if he wants to rebel, he can be mobilized just now." Army, catch us at the gate of the city."

The two captains curled their lips secretly and stopped talking.

As a royal guard, and a high-level warrior who can often come into contact with princesses, princes and even His Majesty the King, he has seen too many separations and reunions in political factional struggles.As close as father and son, or brothers, they may turn against each other for the sake of profit, and kill them fiercely.What's more, there are two families that have no blood relationship.

But since Her Royal Highness has made a conclusion, the two captains who have already passed the Lengtou youth age will of course not say anything more.

Lin Zhifeng frowned, and said hesitantly: "There is another strange thing. The Duke Edwards and his family have a very close personal relationship with Her Royal Highness, and it is said that Her Highness came from afar, and the Duchess and Miss should come out to greet her. But just now During the entire banquet, I didn't see the two of them. Is there something strange about this?"

A captain replied impatiently: "You guys didn't sit with us just now, so you don't know the situation. The Grand Duke explained to Her Royal Highness that the Duchess and Miss had already returned to their natal family to visit relatives a month ago. I've gone, I'm not in the Grand Duke's mansion at the moment."

The so-called things flock together, and people are divided into groups. People always gather in different classes.In this world where strength speaks for itself, Lin Zhifeng and others, who have low martial arts and no noble titles, naturally cannot obtain the right to have an equal dialogue with silver-level powerhouses.

If it wasn't for the fact that the "boss" they called also possessed a silver-level martial arts realm and had a close relationship with Her Royal Highness, the two captains would have yelled at them and kicked them out of the door.

Lin Zhifeng had seen their white eyes a lot along the way, so he didn't say anything now.

Carton, who had always been taciturn and never expressed his opinions on anything, suddenly said, "Anthony, you have the most eyes, what do you think about this?"

Yalena, who looked worried, also raised her head, looking hopefully at Anthony, who had been silent all this time.

Anthony smiled wryly and shook his head: "I'm just like you, and I'm a newcomer. I don't know much about the situation of the Grand Duke Edwards as you do. What can I do?"

Yalena nodded, with a look of disappointment on her face.

The two captains looked at each other expressionlessly.

"You guys will go shopping around the city tomorrow and ask for news." Anthony turned around and told Lin Zhifeng and others.

"Yes, boss!"

Several people bowed to accept the order.

The "Four Heroes of the Southern Union" met Anthony by chance, and they were originally called friends.But since Anthony showed extraordinary qualities, the four of them made up their minds to keep the boy's thigh tightly and follow him.

Now that he has adjusted his position, he can't address him as casually as before. He called the boy "Brother Anthony", but now he calls him "Boss".Even Paul, the little follower, changed his tune along with him.

"Her Royal Highness, don't be impatient. Maybe the problem is not as complicated as we think. Maybe early tomorrow morning, the Grand Duke Edwards has already assembled his troops, ready to set out to conquer the province of Taranto at any time."

Princess Yalena could only smile wryly at Anthony's comfort.

"I hope so."
