As dawn broke, some of Alice's entourage began to prepare to depart. They had to hurry to return to the capital. Physicians from Saville also took part in case Mainne's condition suddenly deteriorated in the middle of the road.
"We'll be home soon too. Give our greetings to him if he has regained consciousness later" Rosemary's message to Aristia and Akilla. Both are compact. After a few additional farewell greetings, they immediately entered the horse carriage to depart.
Along with their departure, came the army of the Knights of the Kingdom of el Vierum led by Count de Bourne. He was sent to assist Alice in overcoming the problems in Aurelis City. The residents are also in an uproar. They walked over the streets to see the neatly lined up group of knights.
The nobles of the city became more and more excited. They are like rats trapped in a box. There's no room to get out. Can only wait for the fate between forgiveness or imprisonment. No one knows. Most of the scandals they made were enough to be able to drag them to the gallows.
"Welcome, Sir Count de Bourne," said the knight commander from the Pearl Palace. His right hand was placed on his chest. He bowed a little respectfully.
"It is an honor to work with you, Sir Calastine de Noman. You've been a gallant knight, yes" Count de Bourne made small talk. Wibawanya. His impression was much different from when he faced King el Vierum. He is a mustachioed man whose hair is beginning to gray. As a confidant of Duchess Evianna, he was a highly respected old man.
"Mr princess is waiting for you, sir. Let's follow me, "Calastine leads Count de Bourne to a luxury hotel run by the Saville Trade Union. There, a butler takes his place as a guide. Count de Bourne was taken to a large hall with a hijab inside.
"Safety of Her Highness Crown Princess el Vierum," hailed the Count de Bourne, "The Director of the Central Supervisory Hall came to face His Majesty. We are ready to take your orders."
"You must have heard the outline of the problem since in the capital. Continue the review of the suspects associated with these cases. Neither nobles nor commoners. Everything is equal at the table of the law," said Alice clearly, "We must enforce the law as fair as possible for the benefit of this country."
"We accept His Majesty's word" the Count de Bourne said. An officer handed over a roll of documents containing criminal data. The Count de Bourne received it with open arms.
Alice invited the Count de Bourne to sit in one of the seats. The executives of the Regional Supervisory Hall of Aurelis City branch gave him their regards and respect. Some feel threatened, some are honored to be in an assembly with him. Alice continued the discussion with them. In the middle of the event, a messenger boy came in to deliver a message to Alice.
"The ruler of Aurelis City, Count de Aurel, asked permission to face him" the messenger said.
"Let her enter" said Alice from behind her hijab.
Enter a thick-cheeked man with turbid facial water. It was clear on his face that he was very upset. His authority was suddenly restricted. His court forces were taken over on behalf of Crown Princess el Vierum. He also had to beg the little princess to immediately return it in order to control the people who began to be rude to him.
"Count de Aurel is facing His Highness Princess el Vierum" Count de Aurel said after the evening. He knelt according to the etiquette. The executives of the Regional Supervisory Hall and the Count de Bourne paid close attention to it.
"Your Majesty, the city has been in a state of uproar lately. Riots are everywhere. The people felt insecure and miserable" Count de Aurel began his complaint with insinuations, "Please restore my power and authority to overcome it."
"Count de Aurel, are you just aware of the commotion in this city right now? Why do you think the riots keep happening? The people are miserable and never feel safe under the rule of a rotten leader" said Alice sharply, "Do you think we have usurped you for no reason?"
"Where might I dare to think that way, Your Majesty?" the regret of Count de Aurel. His face was red withstanding anger. His hands clenched with a faint tremble. However, he still dared to bid and reason, "This is a matter of honor of the nobles. If the leader begins to lose his authority, then the civilization of a people will soon collapse."
"You are right, Count de Aurel," Alice agreed with the sultry man's advice, "The leader is like a head in a body. His absence is death itself. A head without a clean heart is a disaster. Greed and deceit will only bring destruction."
"Your Majesty, my residence is terrorized. People continue to disturb our calm. They shouted something unreasonable," said Count de Aurel impassively, "This is an insult. Those who act insolently must be punished harshly."
"The leader is a shield to his people. It exists to protect. The leader is in charge of solving the problems of the people. If a leader thinks only of himself, then he is no longer worthy of being considered a leader," Alice impliedly delivered the revocation of the Count de Aurel's peerage. None of the Regional Supervisory Hall executives denied. What the little princess said was not wrong.
"Is this how you robbed me of my wealth and honor? Though my ancestors have tried and contributed much to this kingdom," the increasingly courageous Count de Aurel snapped, "You want to seize it now, huh? Is this how you honor heroes?"
"Little princess! You have no respect for us at all. I won't let you take the de Aurel Family's fortune. De Aurel's family is a distinguished family" Count de Aurel. He no longer showed his respect for Alice and cursed, "My ancestors will punish you. You won't be able to get out of this city in any sense of security."
"Martin! Enough of your bullshit!" Count de Bourne got up from his seat. Anger filled his ears. He couldn't stand the dirty mouth of that fat man. "You're too high on ancestors. Those who are dead can do nothing more in the world. Later, your time will be swallowed up by time."
"Be quiet, Old Bangka!" count de Aurel shouted with a drawn sword. Things soon change. The executives are getting noisy. The knights controlling inside immediately stood by to pull out the sword.
"Martin de Aurel, you've crossed the line" Alice exclaimed from within. His loud voice was indeed not terrible, but there was firmness there. He explicitly revoked the title count of Martin de Aurel. With one sentence of his command, the knights moved to bend the former ruler of the city. He was sent to prison to await the outcome of the trial.
The news of the capture of the city lord sounded quickly. The news even reached King el Vierum's ears right in the afternoon. The citizens of Aurelis City became increasingly convinced by the power of Crown Princess el Vierum. They welcomed me with ria.
Unlike the nobles of the city who were involved in the scandal. Moreover, Baron Perres Puliu and Preves Puliu were the beginning of the disaster of the nobles. Preves ransacked the furniture of the house in his anger. He wanted to immediately compile it on those untrustworthy stupid psychics.
Crown Princess El Vierum should have fallen by now, but she's getting more powerful.
...***...
While Alice was busy discussing with the amtakus, Aria was busy wandering around the city with Anna's confidants. Her name is Jasmine. He is the young agent of the Saville Secret Bureau just like Anna.
"This is the place" Aria pointed at a dark, but clean alley. There was a faint mark at the base of the alley. Jasmine agreed. They entered it to meet with the official agents of the Pearl Palace.
"Daughter of Aria, you are so quiet as Madam Anna said," Jasmine tried to repel the awkwardness that had all this time encompassed them, "Have you never felt bored?"
"No," answered Aria briefly.
"Eh, really?" Jasmine could not believe it, "Are you really not feeling bored at all?"
"Yes," Aria replied as briefly as before.
Jasmine also puffed her cheeks. He won't give up, "What do you do if you're alone."
"Play," Aria began to feel troubled by Jasmine's ravings.
"Wow, play what?" Jasmine continued to try to connect the chat.
"The sword," Aria answered without even turning her head once. He almost saw the end of that dark, clean alley.
"Eh, you like to play the sword. That was exciting. Let's practice sparring sometime," Jasmine asked. His move this time made Aria look over. He nodded and replied, "Well, I'll wait for that day."
An old woman was waiting at the end of the alley. He looked at the two girls who were engrossed in conversation in his peaceful courtyard. Saddled look. It has long been a place that no one has visited.
