Loki suddenly turned his head to look at Kathleen. Kathleen felt his gaze, but she smiled and said, "Hehe, you're surprised, aren't you? Don't ask me who I am. From the way you're investigating the taxes, we are definitely not enemies. I promise you that later. But I want to tell you one more thing. The governor took Ian Yarrow's family to the governor's office. " She looked at Rocky with shining eyes.
Loki knew what Catherine meant. Ian Yarrow had somehow admitted to his crime, and the governor had brought Ian Yarrow's family to the house. So could it be explained that the Governor held Ian Yarrow's family hostage and asked Ian Yarrow to admit the murder of Ike Abbott, in order to prevent it from going on? The final mastermind was the governor, Nan Killiver.
Luo Qi's train of thought gradually cleared up. The case that could have ended, became blurred again, leaving him helpless. Loki didn't want to find out. Ian Yarrow wasn't wronged. Loki decided to let Princess Kathleen deal with it.
After deciding, Loki said to Catherine, "I know what you mean, but I don't want to get involved. Let me be frank with you, my identity is only that of a noble knight, and the trial is not my problem at all. Who knows if the governor, Nan Kileville, has any more black hands behind him, Lodge thought.
She laughed and said, "Haha, I knew you were an impostor. I have a lot of informants, and what I'm telling you is to stop checking. Otherwise, your situation will be dangerous. It seems that you are a smart person. I'll do the rest. " From Catherine's words, Roche learned that Catherine definitely had a very high status, at least much higher than the governor, Nan Killiver.
Catherine asked, "Rocky, what are you going to do? To be a merchant? " Luo Qi smiled, shook his head, and replied, "No, I'm going back to the imperial capital. After I earned some money from the auction house, I'll walk around everywhere." Kathleen smiled mysteriously and said, "We'll meet in the capital then, Loki." This time, Loki didn't think about why Kathleen had said that. After all, her identity didn't have much to do with him. So Loki smiled and nodded at Catherine and said, "All right, we'll meet Catherine in the imperial capital."
Loki went back to the auction house and looked for Katharina. When Loki had finished, Katharina began to walk around the yard. Finally, Catherine stopped and said to Roche, "You don't have to worry about this, Rocky. Governor Nan Kileville's backer is now the Minister of the Left, and that's something I can't touch. The Minister of the Left was also involved with my brother, so he had no choice but to give up. As for Ian Yarrow, he should be able to keep his life. "
Loki liked this result, and he didn't like doing things that didn't have much to do with him. It was for Leah's sake at first, but then it was forced on him by Kathleen, and Loki felt relieved to be free. "When will you be in the capital, Loki?"
Luo Qi thought about the progress of the auction and said, "In just two or three days, we've almost done everything here." "Hehe, then I'll wait for you. We'll go back together." Loki did not refuse. Now, Loki considered her a friend. And traveling with her would save him a lot of money. Katharina, on the other hand, did not care about the cost of going out.
Three days later, a large farewell ceremony was held in the city. The army was as imposing as it had been before the battle. More than 20,000 soldiers completely filled the area outside the city gates, leaving only a five-meter-wide passageway behind. Kathleen was still in the same carriage, and Loki and Leah were each riding a warhorse to the left.
Katharina raised her hand in greeting to the crowd, and she was restored to her high and graceful bearing, without the wayward shadow of her time with Roche. In response, Loki couldn't help but shake his head. He thought to himself, 'Kathleen can really put on an act!' Leigh was not used to this sort of scene. She always rode between Loki and the princess's carriage so that Loki's body could hide her.
Loki, however, didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort. He also noticed Catherine in the crowd, smiling at her as he nodded his greetings. But Kathleen stuck out her tongue at him, which confused Loki for a moment. Kathryn looked at Loki's dazed appearance and burst out laughing, shaking her moving body. However, this did not escape Kathleen's eyes. She rolled her eyes at Loki, who was still in a daze.
After the 20,000 soldiers left the team and headed towards their base, the team didn't seem that big anymore. After passing by the city, Luo Qi remembered Avril again. He was ready to see how Avril was doing, but a small episode interrupted his train of thought.
Outside the city of Logubbo, Katharina and Roche's thousand-man brigade began to prepare for the city. At this moment, a soldier came riding from the opposite side. It seemed from his armor that they belonged to the Imperial Guard. The dust on his face was a testament to his constant running. The soldier dismounted when he was five meters away from Kathleen, then approached her for another two meters before dropping to his knees to greet her.
The soldier panted heavily before shouting anxiously, "Your Highness, His Majesty wants you to rush to the imperial capital immediately." "What's the matter?" she asked urgently, without getting the soldiers to their feet. The soldier replied, "The Ulan Took Empire has destroyed many of the surrounding Duchies, and now the powerful Ulan Took Empire has invaded the Ulan Wu Su Empire. The Wu Lan Wu Su Empire is currently requesting for reinforcements for our empire. The civil and military officials of the empire are currently arguing over this matter, so His Majesty needs you to return immediately to the capital to discuss it. "
From this, Roche could see how important Catherine was to the Empire. Adiman was already on the front line, Loki thought. He silently prayed for the safety of this friend of his who he hadn't known for many days. People on this continent loved to pray. Loki had learned this from his parents when he was a child. Luo Qi only did this subconsciously. He didn't even think that it would have any effect.
After Kathleen found out about the situation in the imperial city, she ordered the group to stop entering the city and take a detour to the imperial city. Kathleen only sent a messenger into the city to inform the officials waiting for her welcome, saying that she would not go into the city. It was not Roche's business, but he had agreed to leave with Kathleen, and since he was too embarrassed to leave, he had to follow the procession.
On the way, the large group of soldiers had to bring a lot of things with them. Many of the soldiers were still on foot, so for Loki, the speed of their journey wasn't that fast. Loki and Leah left the group and followed behind. But it wasn't long before Catherine called Leah to her carriage, leaving Rocky alone, unafraid of the loneliness, to do whatever he wanted.
Liya felt grateful towards the princess. After all, she had come from the imperial capital to help him with his affairs. She knew that Kathleen was only giving Sophia face, but that didn't stop her from thanking Kathleen. Thus, they felt extremely harmonious when they interacted with each other.
