Chapter 106: The Stormy Imperial City

The small tavern finally returned to its previous state, and the number of people drinking gradually increased.

Abraham had been working as a supervisor at the Elf Tavern for a long time. According to the customers, he was basically lived in the tavern.

After the elves successfully produced the seeds, most of the saplings absorbed his magic power. Even Wayne was dragged to help him, and the blacksmith shop had not opened for several days.

As the new waiter of the tavern, Beelzebub did not seem to be used to it. Especially when people saw his sullen face and knew that he was from the demon clan, they were trembling in fear and did not dare to say anything.

Knowing that Alan had asked the elves for help in producing the seeds, Orina rarely came to the tavern. Together with Sofia, they accelerated the growth of the saplings.

Although Rock City was shrouded in gray fog, the atmosphere in the city was not tense.

This was due to the timely completion of the electricity popularization plan.

Unlike Rock City’s relaxed state, the Imperial City of the Oreste Empire was filled with a somber atmosphere.

Almost all the residents were shut in, and all the shops were closed.

The battle for the throne had already heated up.

The princes and princesses’ methods were also becoming more and more intense.

The person who surprised everyone was the sixth princess. They had never thought that she would actually be able to last until the final stage.

During the initial screening stage, the twin sisters, the third princess and the fourth princess, were quickly eliminated. The first prince and the second prince were on the verge of beating their brains out.

The fifth prince’s forbearance and the sixth princess’s cautiousness allowed the two to maintain their own strength from the start. The key was that the older ones looked down on the two youngest siblings. They always felt that they did not have much strength and didn’t afraid of them at all.

However, they never expected that the two youngest siblings would be their biggest competitors.

Up until now, the fifth prince and the sixth princess’s strength had been preserved the best. The battle between the first prince and the second prince had caused them both suffered heavy losses. The two of them were barely hanging on by a thread. The third princess and the fourth princess had instead become the targets they tried to rope in.

The chaotic situation was now became clear, the three forces were competing for the throne.

The fifth prince controlled half of the Imperial City’s army, while the sixth princess had the friendship of the elves. She had also recruited a team of high-level mage. This team of mages was what allowed her to survive until now safely in this battle of imperial power.

Everyone seemed to be subconsciously ignoring Olivia’s own strength. Only the fifth prince was wary of the sixth sister who was the same type as him.

The current situation in the Imperial City was very tense. The situation seemed to be dangerous, but everything was still under Olivia’s control.

“Your Highness, according to the movements of the fifth prince’s army, they have withdrawn from the border and are heading toward the capital.”

It was still in the courtyard of the princess’s residence. Stanton’s brows were tightly knitted. He was very worried about the current situation.

Olivia still had a smile on her face. Her expression was relaxed. She was lowering her head and carefully reading the letter in her hand.

On the only withered tree in the courtyard stood a very small eagle.

“Grimm, did Yupanki ask you to bring anything back?”

Olivia looked at Grimm and asked.

Miraculously, after hearing Olivia’s question, the eagle actually stopped for a moment and shook its head.

Only then did Stanton see Grimm disguised as a tree trunk on the withered tree.

“Stanton, the focus of surveillance shouldn’t be the army. Fifth brother’s backup plan isn’t the army.”

After Olivia fed Grimm, she answered Stanton’s question.

Stanton didn’t quite understand what his princess said. If Yupanki was here, he would immediately understand. He was a little annoyed.

“Your Highness, what should we do with the high-level team?”

“There are more and more orcs and angels in the city. Tell them to show their faces and intimidate them a little. Remember to hold back. Fifth brother’s mansion needs to be monitored. I can sense that it is something dangerous inside…”

The princess’s sense of danger had never failed. Since she had sensed that the danger came from inside the mansion, he would do as he was told to.

Although he still could not see that the threat from fifth prince, the princess had said that he should focus on observing fifth prince.

Stanton decided to personally monitor the situation in the fifth prince’s mansion for a period of time after this conversation. He wanted to see what the situation was like.

“Yupanki has done very well in Rock City. In addition, there is a lot of news this time, and they are all related to the demon clan. I’m not sure if the incident in Rock City is related to our side.”

Recalling the news in the letter, Olivia felt a bit heavy inside. She wondered whether Alan was alright. Demons were never good people.

“There were demon lords arrived in Rock City…”

“Your Highness, why didn’t you tell us about this earlier? What’s the situation in Rock City now? What should we do to take back Rock City?”

The moment Stanton heard that the demon clan had arrived in Rock City, he couldn’t sit still anymore. All the images in his mind were filled with demons, green-faced and sharp-toothed demons slaughtering commoners with sabers and swords.

“Shut up and listen to me.”

Olivia rolled her eyes at her chief knight. ‘Why is this guy so anxious?’.

“Rock City is fine. Uncle Wayne has completely recovered. According to Yupanki, he single-handedly defeated the three demon lords.”

“Now, the three demon lords are working as waiters for Alan in the pub. Yupanki said that the most terrifying thing in the Abyss is not the demon clan, but a kind of gray fog which makes the plants in the Abyss difficult to grow. Now, Rock City is completely covered by that gray fog. Thankfully, Alan has a solution…”

Olivia repeated the news that Yupanki had sent back one by one.

After listening to princess’ explanation seriously, Stanton had a deeper understanding of Alan’s ability.

“Your Highness, what else do we need to do in Rock City? And how should we solve the crisis at the border?”

Stanton asked his own questions in the spirit of asking shamelessly.

Olivia knew Stanton’s personality. If he did not arrange everything properly, he would not know how to act.

“Don’t worry about Rock City. Yupanki knows what to do. For the border issue, quietly contact General Saab and tell him about the situation. As for whether he chooses to stay put or face the enemy, it’s up to him to decide. Don’t say anything.”

The fifth prince was in charge of half of the army of the Oreste Empire. He had been stationed at the border all year round.

However, judging from the current news, he might have made some kind of deal with the Roders Empire. He withdrew his troops and let Roders take the opportunity to harass the border. The brothers and sisters who were in internal strife would definitely be anxious when they received the news. Under such circumstances, he could return to the Imperial City and take the opportunity to take control of the government affairs.

If his plan was successful, with the military power in his hands and control of the domestic situation, it would not make sense for him to not become the next emperor under such circumstances.

Although Olivia lived in seclusion, her intelligence gathering ability was stronger than her other brothers and sisters. She could be said to know the situation of the entire Imperial City like the back of her hand.

“Stanton, the final battle is about to begin soon. Are you ready? The imperial city will be filled with rivers of blood.”

Olivia looked at Stanton seriously and said word by word.

Stanton did not hesitate at all. He swore to Olivia, “With the honor of a knight, I swear that I will never betray or retreat!”

Olivia looked straight at Stanton and did not say anything for a long time.

“You may go now. Be careful of the people in fifth brother’s mansion.”

Olivia’s aura became stronger and stronger. Stanton did not dare to treat her as a child anymore.

The conversation between the two ended. Stanton left the princess ‘residence, and a figure with tail was following behind him as soon as he stepped out of the door.

Olivia hurried back to the study, picked up her pen, and began to write a reply to Yupanki.

Last time, Stanton had found out that someone had hired an expert to harm Alan. However, after such a long time had passed, the other party still did not take action, so she did not send the news over.

However, from the current situation in the Imperial City, if the other party really wanted to make a move, it would be their last chance.

This time, sending the news over allowed Yupanki to make preparations earlier.
