บท 319: Mad Emperor Ludovico's plan

The Ludovico's ship continued to advance down the Seine River until a group of ships signaled for it to stop.

Gautier, who was quite depressed, only sighed and with a wave of his hand a group of soldiers raised their coat of arms to inform that they were a ship of a duke of the empire.

The guard ships then allowed the duke's ship to pass, as they had to anger a member of the nobility.

After a few hours of travel they reached the ruins of the city of Parisii, so that the faces of Gautier and Guido turned terrible.

"You think the son of the Emperor Lodovico went mad or was the emperor."

Guido shook his head. "I don't think either of us went completely insane that they could have carried out a massacre in the capital.

That would be a political blow for either of them. Even in madness, they should never have done that. I mean, they won by burning the city to ashes.
