Chapter 436: The Unfeeling Prince

After the king left, Gervis and others were quickly led in by several guards coming out of the palace.

This palace is where the king lives in peacetime. The king does not go to the castle on the mountain on weekdays because the castle is not as comfortable as this palace that is like a manor.

Walking into the palace gate, it was completely different from the majestic and solemn atmosphere that Gervis had imagined.

This place is more like a mansion of a wealthy person. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful is Gervis's first impression. Living here, even the body and mind will feel comfortable.

However, there is an important reason why the royal palace pays so much attention to comfort rather than majesty. That is, the towering castle on the mountain already symbolizes the majesty of King Hayden, so there is no need to do anything more.

The palace covers a very large area, surrounded by large flower beds and trimmed woods. The corridors are busy with servants and maids passing by.

Further away there is a huge building. This building is three stories high and built with white marble. Its shape is very beautiful and unique, and the walls are carved with various reliefs.

Gervis and his companions were not taken into the building, but followed the guards to the path on the right.

After walking for five or six minutes and turning around a small forest, they saw a building again.

This should be considered an independent manor.

Although there is no wall, the manor has complete supporting facilities. There is a lawn in the front, a garden in the back, and a large lake on the left.

"My Lords, please come this way!"

The guard brought Gervis and ten others to the gate of the manor. The male and female servants in the manor had been waiting in two rows for a long time. As soon as they approached, they quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Then, two servants, a man and a woman, led Gervis and others into the house.

Because Gervis won first place in the competition, he walked in front when entering the palace. The other young nobles were also very tactful and automatically stepped back a few steps and followed him according to their ranking.

After entering the manor house, Gervis was taken to the second floor.

The decoration in this room is naturally top-notch. The murals on the ceiling and the gilded tile floors all demonstrate the grandeur of the palace. As for the furnishings, there are all kinds of exquisite porcelain and gold wares on display, which are dazzling.

"When I have money in the future, I will live in a house like this!"

At this moment, Gervis really felt like a bit of a country bumpkin. The life of the most powerful man on this continent was really beyond Gervis's imagination, and this was probably just a place to receive guests.

Soon, two servants led Gervis to the door of a room at the end of the corridor.

"My lord, this is your room!"

The doors of the noble manors in this world basically all open double-handled, so they are very spacious. The butler and maid quickly stepped forward, opened the left and right doors of the room completely, then bent down 90 degrees and waited for Gervis to enter.

Gervis didn't hesitate and walked into the room respectfully greeted by two servants.

But when Gervis entered the room, his heart skipped a beat. He saw a pretty figure sitting with her back to the door near the balcony in front of him.

Without thinking too much, Gervis already knew who this woman was. Who else could it be but Caroline?

Her red wavy hair is casually draped down, and her exaggerated undulating curves are irresistible. She is a beauty that all men are fascinated by.

"Sir, the hot water is ready! Do you need me to help you take a bath now?"

"No need, you guys go out first!"

The person who asked the question was a butler, so Gervis immediately rejected his request.

When he was in the castle, he was used to Anna's service, and he was not used to having a male servant help him change clothes and bathe.

And Caroline was already in the room, and Gervis now needed to confirm the information with Caroline, so he directly dismissed the two of them.

"Yes, sir! You can summon us at any time if you need anything!"

The two servants bowed respectfully and then carefully closed the door again. In an instant, only Gervis and Caroline were left in the large room.

After the door was closed, Gervis walked towards Caroline with a smile on his face.

Now Caroline has changed her clothes, which should be the king's arrangement. She is wearing two pairs of clothes, but they are both very thin.

She wore a long off-shoulder dress inside and a black tulle outside, which matched Caroline's figure and made Gervis' heart beat fast.

"Why... did you come to this royal city?"

Caroline heard Gervase's footsteps and did not turn back.

When Gervis sat next to her, he shuddered a little and asked a question slightly nervously.

"I said I came to save you, do you believe me?"

Gervis is not a straight man, so of course he only says nice things. Although he doesn't have any other plans in mind, he feels that it is also a kind of enjoyment to have a beautiful woman owe him a favor.

Of course, Gervis was not lying to Caroline. In the beginning, Gervis rushed to Maiye City with the intention of rescuing Caroline.

Otherwise, he could have waited for a day or two, until the large army of the Principality of Jean was about to arrive at the city, and then exchanged hostages. In that case, he would not have been forced to flee to the heart of the Principality of Alban by the enemy's fire attack.

When Caroline heard Gervis's joking words, she shuddered all over, then suddenly turned around and looked at Gervis intently, with tears in her eyes.

"I believe it!"

Caroline replied in a very serious tone.

"Cough! Cough!"

Gervis was startled by Caroline's seriousness.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Is this woman going to fall in love with me?"

A bold guess emerged in Gervis' mind.

"Caroline, how did you get captured by the Thunder Knights? The eldest prince managed to break through successfully."

If it was the scene that night by the river in White Rock City, Gervis might not mind taking advantage of the situation to get some "benefits" from Caroline.

But at this moment, Gervis could clearly see different emotions in Caroline's eyes, and he didn't dare to tease her anymore. This was playing with fire.

If it was just a friendly match, Gervis wouldn't mind, but if it was a formal match, Gervis was worried that he would be hung up and beaten to death by the Lord of the North.

One is his granddaughter and the other is his biological granddaughter.

The main thing about the North is that he won't be beaten to death, and Gervis doesn't believe it.

"Haha! The reason why I was arrested was because of that heartless man Derek!"

When Caroline heard Gervis' question, her attention was immediately diverted and she began to tell what happened that night.

It turned out that Caroline had gone to the eldest prince to borrow a catapult that day, but she did not expect to encounter a surprise attack by the Thunder Knights in the middle of the night.

This is nothing, after all, the battlefield is a matter of life and death.

But the real reason why Caroline was captured was because of the eldest prince.

That night, Wallis, the commander-in-chief of the Thunder Knights, led dozens of title knights to attack the castle, while Caroline, the eldest prince and others prepared to break out.

A fight broke out between the two sides in the vestibule, with Wallis's main target being the eldest prince.

So he didn't pay much attention to Caroline and the guards she brought with her.

Caroline quickly broke through to the castle gate with a dozen people. She only needed to rush out of the castle in one breath and she could escape.

But at this moment, the eldest prince called out to Caroline, because the eldest prince and others were surrounded and could not break out at all.

In the end, Caroline had no choice but to lead her guards back and rejoin the battle, which temporarily opened a gap for the Crown Prince and others.

However, the Thunder Knights were the elite among the elite, and they had the numerical advantage in the castle, so even if they opened a gap, they still could not escape unscathed, and the two sides were entangled in a fight.

In the end, the eldest prince took advantage of Caroline and others resisting in the rear and ran away first, leaving Caroline and others behind.

After the eldest prince retreated, the golden knight who was protecting him also withdrew and fled.

In the end, only Caroline and a few others were left in the castle to fight with the Thunder Knights.

Faced with the Golden Knights and dozens of titled knights, the fate of Caroline and others was obvious. All the guards she brought were killed. In the end, she was also captured by the Thunder Knights and brought to the Royal City of Hayden.
