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 co 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 sothing 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 sa 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 ntion, 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 .
Or at least not when they t for the first ti.
Though it was clear that many of them seed disappointed by what was happening.
At the sa ti, there were so that directly turned around and started heading off in different directions.
It seed 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.
With all the different people that headed off, it would only be a matter of ti 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 sha.
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 ca forward to ask, "Your highness, why did you stop? Is sothing wrong?"
The fourth prince didn't answer this question as he reached into his pocket to take out a round and smooth white stone.
When the nobles saw this, all of them couldn't help taking a step back.
After all, they all recognized this stone and knew what this stone was.
If the fourth prince was taking the stone out at this ti...
There was a roar that rang out through the air before several large figures suddenly appeared.
That included my wyvern, Joan.
She was the one that was leading the rest of the wyverns as they ca down to where the cart was. However, they didn't land on the cart and landed in the area in front of the cart.
Once they landed, they bowed their heads to the fourth prince.
Though Joan did cast a small look to that no one else noticed.
The fourth prince stepped forward to pat Joan on the head and whispered sothing in her ear that no one else could hear before getting on her back.
With a pat of her head, Joan suddenly flew back into the air and landed over the cart that I was in. Her claws ca down to grab the side of the cart while the royal guards released the horses that were attached to the cart.
Then in one swift move, Joan lifted the cart off the ground.
The nobles were shocked to see this, but they quickly understood what happened.
The representative of the nobles ca forward and asked the fourth prince, "Your highness, is it possible to borrow a wyvern or two? We wish to co along and see the fate of this traitor to the kingdom firsthand."
The other nobles nodded in agreent after he said this.
But the fourth prince just narrowed his eyes to look at the representative of the nobles before saying, "Don't you still have things to do for the kingdom? Or are you telling that you're trying to skip out on your work?"
The nobles all revealed awkward looks when they heard this.
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 rembered 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 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 ti 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 ca out to greet him when he landed, but they were shocked to see the cage that I was in.
There were so that were happy about the situation and there were so that seed disturbed after seeing 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 feeling helpless about my current situation.
