Alex's Adventure

When Karel heard the familiar voice, he was taken aback at first, seemingly not expecting to hear someone call him. When he realized it was Alex, his face lit up with joy.

"Young Master Alex!"

Over the years, Karel and Alex have become quite familiar with each other.

After the initial joy came surprise. Karel looked around and asked in confusion, "Young Master Alex, how did you get in?"

"Get over the wall." Alex didn't waste any words. "Karel, I know Marquis Daniel and Aniya have been captured by Gallo. Do you know where they are?"

Upon hearing this, Karel couldn't help but sigh.

"They are all locked up in the Royal Palace. Many nobles who tried to leave Oga City are also locked up together. This Marquis's mansion has also been sealed off by the kingdom. We servants cannot go out," Karel sighed.

"In the Royal Palace ..." Alex frowned; he was unfamiliar with the Royal Palace.

However, for Aniya's sake, he still decided to go.

"Young Master Alex, you'd better leave quickly. It would be troublesome if the kingdom's soldiers found out. It's best to stay home for the next few days," Karel said.

"Thank you, Mr. Karel. Take care of yourself as well."

Alex and Karel said goodbye, retraced their steps, and climbed over the wall to leave Marquis Daniel Estate.

The Royal Palace was also on Oga Avenue, but Alex was having trouble getting Royal Palace.

He observed the perimeter of the Royal Palace. In addition to the guards at the Royal Palace gates, there were also people patrolling the outer walls, making it extremely difficult to climb over the wall and enter.

Just as he was wondering what to do, several members of the Kingdom Knights, dressed in Platinum White Armor, hurried past him and went straight into the Royal Palace.

The soldiers guarding the palace gates did not stop them.

"Hmm? Members of the Kingdom Knights are allowed into the Royal Palace?"

Alex's heart skipped a beat; he was also a member of the Kingdom Knights!

Eight years ago, after news of Andres becoming Saint Domain reached back, Alex's status in the Kingdom Knights became extremely detached. He was basically not assigned to any dangerous missions, but his merits were not diminished at all, and he was not required to participate in daily training.

Alex knew that it was all because of his brother.

Although Andres never asked the Oga Kingdom for these things, the Oga Kingdom's leaders still took the initiative to make arrangements in order to cultivate a good relationship with Andres.

After that, Alex's situation in the Kingdom Knights changed. Although many members of the Knights didn't say it, they still regarded Alex as a nobleman's son who was just trying to get credit, and they were very dissatisfied.

Alex keenly sensed this, which made him very uncomfortable, and he tried hard to prove that he could do it without his brother.

However, his talent was not particularly outstanding, and he never reached the Level Seven Warrior.

Later, he wanted to leave the Kingdom Knights to avoid further criticism and dissatisfaction from other members.

However, the higher-ups of the Kingdom Knights did not agree, allowing him to retain his status as a member of the Kingdom Knights, but not to participate in the Kingdom Knights' activities.

Since then, Alex has never been to the Kingdom Knights again, but he still keeps the standard armor, which is kept in Mitchell Blacksmith Shop.

Alex immediately returned to the East District.

After they moved into the Goblin Merchant Guild, Mitchell Blacksmith Shop closed, but was not sold off; it was used to store old things from before.

Alex returned to the blacksmith's shop, rummaged through the old trunk and took out the Platinum White Armor. After wiping it clean, it gleamed like new.

He put on his armor and hurried to the Royal Palace.

Along the way, he encountered some Kingdom soldiers who were searching for remnants of the Balzan remnants. Alex was not Balzan remnant, so he was not worried about being harmed by them. Moreover, he walked openly down the street without arousing suspicion.

Alex arrived at the palace gates and saw members of other Kingdom Knights entering the Royal Palace one after another.

That's when he realized something was wrong.

"Are they gathering to carry out some kind of mission?" Alex wondered.

However, he didn't think too much about it. At this moment, the most important thing for him was to rescue Aniya as soon as possible.

He wore a helmet, his head slightly bowed, and followed behind the other members of the Kingdom Knights.

As he approached the palace gate, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, fearing that he would be stopped by the guards.

He felt the guards' gazes, which were scrutinizing them, the members of the Kingdom Knights, who were about to enter the palace gates.

He calmed himself down and walked on, pretending not to care about the guards' stares.

But he still noticed a gaze fixed on him, and it never left.

That gaze felt incredibly heavy, making Alex extremely uncomfortable.

Immediately afterward, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the guard had moved, seemingly reaching out to stop him!

"Oh no!"

Alex was extremely anxious and quickly thought of a solution.

At that very moment—

"Alex, you're here too!"

A familiar voice sounded behind me.

Then the two people quickly walked up to him from behind and put their arms around his shoulders, one on each side.

"Mayer! Franco!"

Alex recognized the two of them and his face lit up with joy.

These two men were his old friends. Years ago, when he was injured by Gallo's men, they were the ones who took him to the clinic.

Mayer and Franco led Alex through the Royal Palace gates. The guard, who had initially been somewhat suspicious of Alex, hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not stop them.

After successfully entering the Royal Palace, Alex breathed a sigh of relief.

Mayer and Franco, unsuspecting, questioned Alex.

"Alex, what brings you here? You're not with the Knights, so no one should have notified you to come to the assembly, right?" Mayer asked.

"A gathering?" Alex's heart skipped a beat, confirming his earlier guess. So many members of the Kingdom Knights had come to the Royal Palace; they were indeed on a mission.

Looking at Alex, Mayer suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "You wouldn't be doing this for Aniya, would you?"

Besides that, he couldn't think of any other reason why Alex had come to the Royal Palace.

Alex did not speak.

But judging from his appearance, Mayer and Franco had already made up their minds.

"Are you crazy?" they both said in unison.

Mayer glanced around cautiously, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered, "Is the situation this dangerous? Why are you still acting recklessly? You've always been at odds with Marquis Gallo. He didn't dare to do anything before because your brother was Saint Domain, but Patur has now sided with the Beastmen and won't give your brother any face anymore. If you get caught, you might be killed!"

"I must find a way to save Aniya," Alex firmly. "Do you know where she's being held?"

Mayer sighed, "Don't even think about it. They're all locked up in the Hanston Palace, deep inside the Royal Palace. The guards are all Marquis Gallo's confidants, including Level Eight Warrior. You can't possibly go in and rescue them all by yourself."
