Chapter 49 - Shaking The Capital (1/2)

After taking a nice hot bath, Shad went to relax in the living room. However, Before he could even lay down on one of the sofas, Mark brought him one small book as well as a map.

Mark was one of the Imperial Knights that was assigned to him on his journey. He was very well built and was the strongest of the four imperial knights with a cultivation of a peak 6th rank warrior. Not only that, his battle qi had already been transformed into fire battle qi.

” Did the crown prince bring these things,” Asked Shad as he was flipping through the book.

” No, your highness, one of his servant brought them. Apparently, the crown prince is busy preparing for the welcoming banquet.” Answered Mark in a respectful tone.

”Hmm.” Shad nodded slightly without looking at Mark, he was engrossed in the information in the small book. It seemed like the crown prince really wanted to get close to him. Shad did not mind, as long as he was useful to him.

Roman had told him that he would bring him a detailed book containing all the information about the powerful nobles' family within the kingdom as well as an updated map, However, he did not expect that he was going to be that fast.

” Did Monalisa leave already,” Asked Shad. Ever since Shad had told her to bring a letter to Lisa, the young lady of the Bennett family, Monalisa seemed to be distant. It was as though she was jealous or felt threatened by Lisa's background as well as beauty. Shad was not a fool and could clearly sense a hint of jealousy in her eyes as well as insecurity when he mentioned Lisa, but he did not bother to clear things out.

” Yes, your highness.” Mark had no idea where the young lady went, she just said that she went to take a stroll within the Royal Capital and will be back before the late afternoon. If only he knew where she was truly going, he would have been freaked out, especially to see how much time it would take her to come back.

While Shad was taking his sweet time reading the information about the major influences within the royal capital in his living room, the royal capital was upside down.

In every restaurants, inns, and corner of the royal capital, the people were talking about one thing. Before, the hot topic was the Emissary of the Djage Empire coming to the Mulan Kingdom who was none other than the legendary eccentric 4th prince. But now, the 4th prince had long been forgotten. The new hot topic was none other than Richard, the second son of Marquis Lance, from the Tulip family.

The Tulip family was a powerful noble family that presides over a good portion of the southern region of the Mulan kingdom. The prestige of the Tulip family came from a man named George, the great-grandfather of the Current marquis Lance.

George was a general of the Mulan Kingdom. Because of George's repeated and outstanding military exploits, He was given a territory to rule over. The land was very large and fertile. Almost no Lord in the Kingdom had such a large fiefdom, but the problem was that the land was very close to the Nicholas Empire.

This land was given to him long before the Mulan Kingdom became an affiliated kingdom of the Dhjage Empire. Everything was going fine until the previous king had decided to make the Mulan Kingdom an affiliated kingdom of the Djage Empire.

Ever since then, his territory had been infested with bandits and all sorts new tribes. Not only that, they were in a constant state of war, not with the Nicholas Empire but with a group of bandits. Even though they knew deep down that those people weren't real bandits but they had no proof. As such, the Tulip family was in decline.
