Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: Chapter 336 Lobbying (2/2)
“Why are we going to war? And Cyart people fighting against Cyart people? It’s such an unreasonable thing. Why do we have to fight against our own people?”
“I heard it’s the Fischer family and the Romann family, they conspired with heretics, even attempted to assassinate His Majesty the King…”
“No, I heard that His Majesty the King has been held hostage by evil cultists, and the Romann and Fischer families want to save the Royal Capital!”
“Who is telling the truth in what you all say?”
“The Church hasn’t given a specific statement. Who knows which is true and which is false…”
In a corner of the city, some citizens gathered together, whispering. The voices were filled with fear and unease.
Others chose to stay alone at home, with doors and windows tightly sealed, trying to isolate themselves from the outside world.
However, no matter how much people tried to hide away and pray, the shadow of war was still inevitably hanging over the city. As to what the future held, the citizens could only silently pray through the long nights, hoping for peace to arrive soon.
The young man with white hair walked calmly on the dim path.
He came to the classical manor of the Jones family and was stopped by a few guards who politely inquired about his business.
“I’m sorry, Lord Noble, it’s too late today, our family does not wish to meet any outsiders.”
The people from the four viscount families of Ahornblatt Province they recognized, but they did not recognize this person, who they assumed to be from the many baronial families or even the knight clans trying to attach themselves to the Jones family.
The young man narrowed his eyes, smiling as he introduced himself:
“My name is Karno Fischer. I wonder if this surname entitles me to meet with the head of the Jones family?”
“Fischer?”
The guard at the door was startled, nodded repeatedly, and indicated that he would go and report.
It wasn’t long before an elderly elf butler walked out of the manor.
“Lord Karno Fischer of the Fischer family, please follow me.”
Karno gave a small smile at the sight of the elderly elf butler.
Although the prevailing belief about the Jones family was that they had only two Monarch Extraordinary Exponents, Karno could clearly sense that this old elf butler too possessed a hidden depth of power.
Every great family has secrets.
Maybe this was the Jones family’s secret!
Before long, he arrived at the reception room of the Jones family and met with the head of the Jones family, the “Mighty Angel” Bern Jones!
