Chapter 858: A Sudden Attack

"That's strange… Is the defense for the capital so tight now?"

Benjamin walked out from the village next to Perseus Lake and turned his head, glancing doubtfully in the direction of Havenwright, talking to himself.

Before bringing the King to the Queen so that he could offer his incense, he had come here first due to the short distance, in an attempt to contact Duke Collin. However, the strange thing was that the tavern in the village had shut down, and the tavern owner, who had been their middleman, was nowhere to be found. He was said to have left for some business, so Benjamin had made the trip there for nothing.

At first, he had even felt worried, thinking about whether the Wood family could have been gotten rid of by the nobles. However, he immediately heard news that the capital was in a stable situation, and the Church had not done anything to the nobles at all.

Benjamin could not wrap his mind around it.
