Thinking of this, she waited at the city gate. After a long time, several northern knights who had entered the city to report returned.
"Your Majesty, we need to create a simple disguise. Perhaps it would be better for you to enter the city in a carriage."
Although Count Feslin had some goodwill towards Lily and her group, allowing them to pass smoothly, he would not go against the new emperor because of this, so pretending to accidentally let Lily disguise herself and escape from the fortress was the best option.
Lily understood and waited for a while before taking a carriage and slowly entering the sturdy fortress.
Unlike the bustling central part of the empire, the market here was noticeably quieter. The vendors lining the streets rarely sold daily necessities, but rather weapons and transcendental materials.
Walking on the street, Lily even saw several necromancers in black robes through the screen window. Beside them followed powerful warriors in full armor and extremely cold. These beings had no breath and were like dead objects.

Inside the carriage, the gray-robed witch sitting in front of Lily looked at the figure not far away outside the window and quietly introduced the queen.
Seeing those Death Scythe Knights in the distance suddenly turn around and walk towards this side, Lily couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"Ah~" The voice was low and slightly panicked.
