"Why do you suddenly ask this question, sir?" Ascalante looked at Sean curiously.
"Just curious."
Ascalante thought about it and realized that he was just a small sergeant at the beginning. In the imperial capital, anyone picked out by chance was a person of status.
"I don't know the details. My hometown is a small town about ten miles outside the imperial capital. I heard about this place when I first arrived here... Because it's a wealthy area, we don't come here often on weekdays. Only after I was promoted to captain did I occasionally come here for patrols. Since then, I've often seen officials entering."
Sean guessed that this was all Ascalante knew, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Let the two of them rest as well. They have been traveling for seven or eight days in a row, and it’s time for them to have a good rest.
………………
The environment is indeed the best place I have ever encountered. Even the hotel rooms and services are as if they are in their own territory.
Sean did not dine with the other earls, but in fact, Marquis Spinola just called everyone symbolically. Later, he heard from the servants in the hotel that not many people went... More lords chose to dine alone in their rooms.
The matter of meeting the king has not been finalized yet and everyone is worried about it.
In the past, the kid from the Morgan family often told me to prepare various response plans for everything, and to be fully prepared whether it was success or failure.
I guess many lords are making their own plans!
After dinner, Karyana and Aslant went about their business according to their instructions. Since the Haidi Hotel could accommodate so many high-ranking officials and nobles, its security was guaranteed, so it didn't matter even if the guards were not around.
However, it was too secure and there was no way to climb over the roof today... Sean waited in the room until very late before he heard Igunya knocking on the door.
"Huh~ This hotel is really troublesome. You know~ Sean, the roof has been made into a drying yard and there are people taking turns guarding it day and night. It's so weird." As soon as she entered the door, Igunya began to complain about this heavily guarded hotel.
"That's just an excuse they give to the outside world. In fact, it is to prevent people from climbing onto the roof," said Sean.
Since so many nobles and officials have chosen this place, safety must be guaranteed...
In the Bashalan Empire, the mercenary guild's missions do not involve any other killing tasks except for the suppression of bullies, but that is just an appearance. Since there are mercenaries in the open, there must be killers in secret.
When we were in Oro City, Barnil and the others would occasionally mention these killer stories to me...
Assassinating nobles, various wealthy businessmen, or even individual residents, as long as someone has grievances and enough money, they will take this path.
The nobles in particular were always the target of actions, so the safety of the inn had to be ensured.
"I've thought about that too. When I came here, I saw many places set up with magic traps. This inn is indeed not simple."
"It's not easy..." Sean said.
He still had the magic pocket watch that the other party had given him, which could track the traces left by ordinary magic. Sean also felt some of those magic circles.
"By the way, Sean. What should we do next? Keep waiting for the king to meet us?" The question asked by Igunya is probably the most worrying question for many people at the moment.
"This is the only way. The other earls will discuss in their meeting today that they will notify Grand Duke Haruman to intercede for us. The southern cities are already overwhelmed... Any promising method is worth trying."
"I hope so..."
The two chatted until late at night, and only had to leave when Ignia said that her mentor Ash might come over tomorrow.
Unlike Frelia, Ash has always been Prince Philip's advisor, so he is most likely to appear wherever the prince is... Perhaps the palace has already heard the news that the southern lords have arrived in a group, and the top leaders are probably discussing how to respond.
Sean escorted Ignia out of the room, and the two walked all the way to the end of the corridor before saying goodbye and parting ways...
It was late at night, and there were only dimly glowing white candles on both sides.
And there is only a little light left.
Watching the little girl disappear into the shadows of the corridor...
As soon as I turned around, a prompt immediately appeared in my field of vision.
"Who's there?"
Looking at the other side of the corridor, the woman holding a candle made a "shocked!" expression.
"It's Lord Weiger. Why haven't you rested yet so late?" The person who came out was Helya, the female owner of the Haidi Hotel.
Wearing a long cape coat, he subconsciously looked towards the corridor behind Sean as he walked over.
Ignia had already left, and there was nothing in the corridor...
But Sean felt that the other party must have seen it.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to add lamp oil. Am I disturbing Count Weigel?" He still had a smile on his face when he spoke. It was indeed pleasing to the eye during the day, but Sean was a little unhappy that he suddenly appeared here.
"Did you see everything just now?"
"What did you see? I just came here and met Count Weiger." He still had that smile on his face.
But Sean saw something fishy from the state of the other person's head... He suddenly remembered what Ascalante said during the day: the other person knew many secrets of officials and nobles.
It seems that there are indeed some means.
"Oh~ No. I usually go to bed late on weekdays. I couldn't sleep on my first day in the capital, so I came out for a walk." He suddenly put on a smiling face.
