Chapter 665 In the castle
Chapter 665 In the castle
I found that he wasn't lying about this.
Even when we landed with the wyverns, it didn't seem like the people at the gate were worried at all. With the way that they looked at us, it was as if they were already used to seeing wyverns.
Though there were some that were looking at Joan.
After all, she was a wyvern that was different from all the other wyverns.
With the fourth prince leading the way, we easily passed through the gates and arrived in the capital.
It was then that I understood why they hadn't been afraid of us.
It was because they were already used to seeing wyverns and by that, I meant it literally.
There were a bunch of wyverns that were behind the gate.
It seemed that the fourth prince had been keeping the wyvern riders in the capital when they weren't out and about, so the people of the capital had slowly adapted to the presence of wyverns.
Though they would still run for their lives if they were attacked by wyverns, they wouldn't judge a book by its cover and be afraid of wyverns right away.
So that meant that there was a place for us to leave our wyverns while we headed into the capital.
This was a place that the fourth prince had built to take care of wyverns while they were in the capital, so they would be receiving a five star treatment. As we were leaving, I could see that some of the wyverns were getting washed down by the people that were there with looks of enjoyment on their faces.
For these wyverns, it must be like they were having a spa day.
I could see that even Joan was relaxing instead of missing me like she normally did.
Sitting in the same carriage as the fourth prince, I looked at him with a faint smile on my face.
That was because the fourth prince looked completely different from his usual well dressed appearance. His hair was messy and there were a few creases in his clothes, like he had just been tossed around.
I wasn't worried that anything inappropriate happened, I knew that this was just the way that siblings communicated with each other.
It was a method of communication where the fist was used.
But now that I was in the carriage, Angela calmed down and sat by my side.
I looked at the fourth prince for a bit before asking, "Where are we going?"
The fourth prince had been the one that summoned me and Angela to the capital, so we were leaving everything to him. He said that he would take care of everything in his second letter to me, so it wasn't me just imposing on him.
The fourth prince opened up the window of the carriage and pointed at a large building outside before saying, "We're heading there."
I was surprised because the building that he was pointing at was the castle in the center of the capital. There shouldn't be a reason for us to go there since the ceremony wouldn't be for a few days.
The fourth prince saw the look on my face and he said with a smile, "There's someone who wants to meet you. I'm just the one that brings you there."
A person in the castle that wanted to meet us, there were only a few people that came to mind.
But the worst part was that the few people that came to mind were all people that we didn't want to meet.
Especially the one that I thought was the most likely candidate.
I glared at the fourth prince as this thought passed through my mind, but he just looked back at me unfazed with a smile on his face. It was as if no matter what I did, he wouldn't tell me what I wanted to know.
Since that was the case, I just sat in silence while thinking about all the things that could happen.
Angela also had knitted brows on her face this entire ride.
After arriving at the castle, the fourth prince led the way in without any hesitation.
The guards that were there saw us and just let us pass without a single fuss.
In fact, they even bowed to us respectfully as we walked by.
The fourth prince and Angela, who was the princess I could understand, but it seemed like they were bowing to me respectfully as well. Was there a reason for them to bow to me respectfully like this?
The fourth prince didn't explain a thing as he led us through the castle.
I didn't know my way around the castle, so I had no idea where we were.
But when I looked over at Angela, I found that the frown on her face had become even deeper.
I knew that there was something wrong.
So I asked her, "What's wrong?"
Angela was silent for a bit before saying in a worried voice, "This is the way to my father's room."
As expected, the fourth prince had brought us into the castle to meet the king.
For the king to meet us before the ceremony, it was very likely the thing that we had been worried about was about to come true.
This was where he would cancel the engagement between me and Angela and then try to find a way to take control of the wyverns from me.
I just couldn't believe that the fourth prince would help him with this…
No, it seemed right that the fourth prince would help him with this.
This was just how the fourth prince from the game was…
When the fourth prince stopped, we were standing in front of a pair of large doors that seemed like they were fancier than any other doors that we passed.
