Re-Estize Kingdom.

Royal Capital.

Month of Fire, September 12th.

Nearly four months had passed since the end of the "Royal Tournament," yet the discussion regarding Gazef not only showed no signs of weakening but had become increasingly heated.

According to past customs, the champion would be personally conferred the title of "Knight" by the King shortly after the competition ended.

But this time, not only was it dragged out for a long time, but in the end, Gazef was conferred the title of "Warrior Captain," a title that had never appeared in the Kingdom before.

This was neither a noble title nor an official position; it seemed to be just a title.

And a title without any function at all.

This matter immediately caused quite a stir among the populace; while feeling angry at Gazef's treatment, they also felt somewhat suppressed.

At the same time.

Another matter began to ferment.

A daughter of a viscount, said to be from the Baharuth Empire, was going to challenge Gazef, the champion, which allowed the public's emotions to finally have a place to vent.

The public, who dared not express any dissatisfaction toward their own country's nobles, immediately vented this accumulated anger onto the nobles of the enemy country.

Especially with the Kingdom's current severe failures at the border, it seemed everyone hoped Gazef would teach this Imperial person a harsh lesson.

Surprisingly.

In this atmosphere, the high-ranking nobles of the entire Kingdom were unexpectedly quiet.

Rumble~

An exquisite, luxurious carriage, adorned with patterns of pale gold and blue, pulled by two pure white horses, was driving at a steady speed along the central street.

It finally stopped in front of the gate of a five-story-high building shaped like a tower with protruding corners.

This was the VIP Guest House.

A place specifically used to accommodate nobles coming to the Royal Capital from various territories.

After the carriage driver steadily stopped the carriage, he flipped his feet and landed firmly on the ground, then pulled out a pre-prepared wooden stool adorned with cherry-colored and brownish-yellow patterns, placing it under the carriage door.

"Miss Reynas, we have arrived."

The driver stood at the carriage door, bowed slightly, and took the initiative to pull the door open.

A capable, elegant silhouette stepped onto the wooden stool and walked out of the carriage.

The person was wearing a very well-tailored pair of white trousers that faintly outlined the curves of her slender legs, while her upper body was a delicate corset and lace short-sleeved shirt, perfectly outlining her curves.

Reynas nodded slightly to the driver, a look of indifference on her fair cheeks, and walked into the VIP Guest House.

Along the way, many figures dressed as servants stopped and bowed slightly upon seeing Reynas.

Facing this scene.

Reynas was long since accustomed to it, her eyes carrying a look of contemplation as she walked toward the floor where she resided.

She had been in the Royal Capital for some time; apart from the first day or two where she casually found a high-end inn to stay in, she had spent all the remaining time until now living in the VIP Guest House.

To be precise.

She had been invited here, and had just finished attending a boring noble gathering.

"A country nearing decay." Reynas's deep blue pupils flickered.

She had already largely guessed the thoughts and arrangements of her Lord; regarding the person named Gazef, he was indeed very famous, to the point where she didn't even need to investigate.

A strong person capable of winning the "Royal Tournament" champion title, yet those incompetent nobles had united to boycott him, even begrudging him a simple "Knight" title.

If this matter were in the Baharuth Empire, given the strength Gazef had displayed, Emperor Jircniv would not only give him a small "Knight" title, but would likely entrust him with heavy responsibilities directly.

As for his commoner status?

Compared to his own abilities, in the system currently being promoted in the Baharuth Empire, it was the thing that needed the least attention.

In a short time, Reynas had already seen that the Kingdom had the same style as the Empire once did.

Arriving at the floor where she lived.

Reynas pushed open the door, and just as half her body stepped into the room, her brows furrowed, and her blue pupils looked coldly at a maid in the room.

"I said, my room does not need cleaning."

The maid opposite seemed not to care at all about what she said, instead picking up a piece of pastry placed on the table and eating it directly.

"Is this the Moonleaf Ash Cheese?"

"Yeah, I've always heard of it but never eaten it; the taste is a bit spicy, not that great, a wasted expectation."

A familiar, cold voice carrying a hint of disdain came from the maid's mouth, making Reynas's cold expression pause.

The next moment!

Reynas retreated a step briefly, scanned the two sides outside the door quickly, and after finding no one, walked in and closed the door again.

"What an honored guest, Imina."

"You've been in the Imperial Capital for so long, and this is your first time taking the initiative to come to me."

=9+Shu_ba

Reynas crossed her arms over her chest, lifting her fair neck, "What's wrong, did you encounter trouble with the task the Lord entrusted to you?"

"Heh."

Imina turned around, her maid attire looking slightly awkward on her, "You think I want to come here? He is waiting for you."

Reynas's deep blue pupils brightened, and she didn't mind Imina's tone: "Where is the Lord?"

Imina turned and walked toward the inside of the room.

Reynas hurried to follow.

As a place specifically provided for nobles to stay, the area of each room in the VIP Guest House was very large, with the main hall alone having three.

The hall in the deepest part.

"My Lord." Reynas looked at Tang Zheng, who was standing by the window with his side profile bathed in sunlight, and hurried forward, raising her arm and placing it on her left shoulder.

"Long time no see, Reynas."

Tang Zheng turned his head and spoke with a smile.

After leaving the Baharuth Empire, Tang Zheng headed straight for the Royal Capital of the Re-Estize Kingdom; he had wasted quite a bit of time in the Baharuth Empire.

So he intended to finish laying out his plans in the Royal Capital as soon as possible and continue his leveling journey.

As early as two days ago.

Tang Zheng had already arrived at the Royal Capital, but he didn't seek out Imina and Reynas immediately; instead, he went to the shop he had visited when he first crossed over.

He had originally intended to redeem the gold necklace he sold as initial capital, but the shop owner had already sold the necklace to a minor noble.

For this reason.

Tang Zheng wasted a bit more time finding that minor noble and spent one gold coin to redeem the necklace.

That's right, one gold coin.

The other party had actually asked for a price of 500 gold coins, but he used a little means, and the other party intended to give him the necklace for free; however, Tang Zheng didn't think of himself as a robber, so he paid the price of one gold coin.

"Gazef has already agreed to this match."

"However, I noticed that a portion of the Kingdom's nobles do not wish for me to fight Gazef."

Reynas reported the events that had occurred during this period to Tang Zheng.

"They are worried that if you lose, Gazef's fame will become even greater." Tang Zheng chuckled, really not knowing how to describe the thoughts of this group of nobles.
