In the early morning, Thomas took a carriage to enter Abetus from the manor outside the country. He was in a good mood and had breakfast in a cafe on the banks of the Suriven River.

The Suriven River is sparkling with ships loaded with cargo leaving the port. These ships will walk along the Suriven River bank around the northern port of Abetus and then head south along the west coast.

Shipped to the southern waters.

"It's been a long time since Suriven River has been as lively as it is now." Thomas sighed and drank all the coffee covered with a layer of milk. At this moment, a little pride rose in his heart, and instinctively believed that he had his own contributions here.

At this moment, he heard some special news in the noisy cafe.

"Are you saying true? Princess Charlotte dated a mysterious man? She even invited him to board his own carriage?" Two discussions came from behind.

With a moving heart, Thomas put down his cane and pricked up his ears.

"This is fake, and the news has spread. Many people saw this scene at that time. Princess Charlotte took the initiative to invite the man to board her carriage. The two of them stayed in the carriage for a long time. During this process, the carriage seemed to shake a few abnormally."

Turning his head quickly and glanced casually, Thomas saw the bearded man talking.

"Just slander! Princess Charlotte is Elland's purest pearl..." another thin man defended.

"But don't forget that she is also a woman, and she can get married and have children. In fact, except for her noble status, what is the difference between her and those women who are worth a pound of gold?" The bearded man curled his lips disdainfully.

"You are not allowed to slander my princess!" the thin man screamed.

"Are I wrong?" the bearded man snorted coldly, "This is not a slander. Someone took photos of the time, and they even found out the identity of the man."

"Who is he? Which young man in Elland can deserve our princess?"

"Henrik, the new CEO of the Bureau of Investigation."

"Board of Investigation? Does Elland have this department?" The thin man obviously had never been exposed to any extraordinary incidents. He looked confused when he heard about the Bureau of Investigation.

"You just need to know that the Deputy Director of the Bureau of Investigation is our Duke, and the CEO is the power person second only to the Deputy Director. This Mr. Henrik is said to be in his early 20s."

"Why have I never heard of this person?"

"Not only you haven't heard of it, I haven't." The bearded man shrugged.

"But I heard from a friend that Prince Philip held a banquet at his estate not long ago, and Henrik appeared at the banquet as Princess Charlotte's male companion, and the two danced the first dance that day."

"Apart from Prince Philip, Henrik is the first man to dance with Princess Charlotte! Now this man has gotten into Princess Charlotte's carriage again. The two have been in the narrow carriage for a long time. What do you think is the relationship between them?" the bearded man asked back.

"Not only that, I also learned another message..." On the table next to me, a man wearing a checked vest in a white shirt wiped his mouth.

"In a few days it will be Princess Charlotte's 20th birthday. At that time, Henrik will serve as the princess's guardian knight and accompany the princess to meet His Majesty the King."

"What?!" The two looked surprised.

"I think you all know the meaning of the guardian knight to the princess." The man smiled.

"So it's obvious that our Elland Pearl, she's finally in love!"

"Oh my god, this is not true. The princess said she would only marry this country if she wanted to marry!"

"Only one of the women's mouths can tell the truth when one of them is blocked." The bearded man laughed loudly at his companion.

"This is not true. How could you know such important news from the Guardian Knight?" the thin man asked back.

"This is not important news, right? It will definitely be announced to the public before the celebration begins. The source of the news is not me, but someone in the palace. Because according to tradition, the palace will send someone to tailor the dress for the day of the celebration for the guardian knight."

"So...it's no secret."

The three men each had their own opinions, some were disdainful, some were proud, and some were sad. But Thomas's face showed a bit of weirdness.

Yesterday, he saw the gentleman get into the princess' carriage in front of the investigation bureau. As for whether the two talked or did something in the carriage, Thomas didn't want to think too much.

He was just sighing that Mr. Henrik was indeed amazing, and only a princess could deserve such a man.

But at this moment, when he heard the news spreading in the tavern, he instinctively noticed a trace of abnormality.

Put on his top hat and picking up his cane, Thomas quickly left the restaurant, and after changing to several carriages in succession, he finally waited for the person he wanted to meet.

"Sir..." As soon as we met in the carriage, Thomas couldn't wait to repeat what he had observed in the cafe to Sigmun.

"It's a bit weird, I heard a lot of people talking about it along the way. Although everyone was curious about the secrets of the royal family, the news spread so quickly, which was very disturbing."

"And... a former suitor of Princess Charlotte, who had just returned to Abetus not long ago, would I worry if these processed news reached his ears..."

"You mean Dario?"

"No! Mr. Henrik, your enemy is my enemy. I just don't want your opinion of me because of his possible offense." Thomas expressed his loyalty.

As the second son who does not value it, he has now become a marginal figure in the family. Only by holding the thigh in front of him can he realize his ideal.

"Do your work seriously." Sigmun didn't say anything, but took out a special communicator and handed it to Thomas, "If you have any questions in the future, use this to contact me."

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Henrik!"

"You came just right, your brother Dario, four or five years ago, did he study at St. Rance Medical University for a while?"

"Medical University?" Thomas thought seriously for a while, "Four or five years ago, he seemed to have disappeared for a while. His father just said he was going to study, but he didn't say where to go."

"But I remember what happened later. Not long after I came back, Dario changed a lot. Not only did he complete extraordinary enlightenment, but he also promoted very quickly since then. It seemed that he had entered the second level without long."

"Do you know the contract he signed?"

"I don't know." Thomas shook his head, "I was not very interested in these things at that time. I just felt that Dario, who had become a supernatural, was a little weird."

"Then, not long after, Dario took the initiative to apply to his father, left Abetus and went to the north, and he rarely came back after that, but every time it changed a lot, and I could feel the terrible sense of oppression in him."

“The relationship between our two is becoming increasingly unfamiliar.”

"I left here after the second level..." Sigmun thoughtfully, an ordinary noble child suddenly became enlightened, and then it took only four or five years to advance to the fifth level.

At this moment, the driving carriage stopped suddenly. Thomas opened the window and looked out, but quickly shrank his head back.

"What's wrong?" Sigmun asked.

"It's...Dario!"
