Chapter 758 Showcase
When we reached the gates, the crowd that gathered had reached its peak.
The area around the gates was completely surrounded by people, so much so that the guards at the gates even had to come out to help out with crowd control.
It took a while for them to keep the crowd away so that the cart could continue forward.
As for outside the gates...the entry into the capital had been completely stopped for this matter. With how serious this was, it was better for them to suspend all entries until this matter was over.
The travelers that were waiting outside were naturally angry about being made to wait, but they soon realized that this was something serious when they saw the cart. There were many of them who recognized who I was, just like the people of the capital.
Many of them also reacted the same way as the people in the capital did, but they didn't do what the people in the capital did since there were just too few of them. Not to mention, the soldiers of the nobles were still here and at this point, they had even drawn weapons.
No one was going to risk their lives just to try and save me.
Or at least not when they met me for the first time.
Though it was clear that many of them seemed disappointed by what was happening.
At the same time, there were some that directly turned around and started heading off in different directions.
It seemed that these people had given up on going into the capital and were heading off to different places. They were most likely going to sell the information that they had witnessed firsthand to different places.THee source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
With all the different people that headed off, it would only be a matter of time before this matter spread all over the kingdom.
But the fourth prince didn't stop them.
The nobles naturally didn't stop them, they even looked like they were happy about this. It was like they wanted everyone in the kingdom to see my shame.
Though they didn't know that they were dancing in the palms of the fourth prince.
Once we were out of the capital, the fourth prince stopped the cart.
The nobles were all confused when they saw this, so one of them who had been chosen as the representative came forward to ask, "Your highness, why did you stop? Is something wrong?"
They had gotten so caught up in this matter that they had forgotten about their duties.
It was only when the fourth prince scolded them that they finally remembered that they had other things that they had to do.
So they had no choice but to back down in this matter.
Though as they left, they gave me one last look of schadenfreude as if they really enjoyed this.
I just ignored them as I laid there in my cage without any expressions.
They thought that I was being strong, but it was anything but that.
They didn't know what was really going to happen to them.
The fourth prince didn't waste any time after that and headed off with several wyverns that had his personal elite guards on them.
...
The first stop that we made was a town.
It was a small town that was near the capital and it wasn't getting late yet, but the fourth prince stopped here.
The nobles of the town came out to greet him when he landed, but they were shocked to see the cage that I was in.
There were some that were happy about the situation and there were some that seemed disturbed after seeing me sit there in the cage like this.
But when I saw all of this, I understood what the goal of the fourth prince was to land in this small town.
A showcase.
I was being made into a showcase to properly sell our plan so that the enemies would buy it...
A helpless look appeared on my face when I realized this, but the nobles just thought that it was me feeling helpless about my current situation.
