Chương 110: Riot

Adeline was stunned to hear that a fight was going on in a happy place like this and it was escalating. "What is happening outside? And why do you say that a riot is going to happen?"

The guard quickly briefed the Princess about the situation outside, "The villagers were having some dispute with the tax collectors. And the Royal Guards began to thrash them with whips. The villagers are fighting back. So I don't think it is safe for Your Highness to stay here for any longer."

Adeline narrowed her eyes with anger. She had not even imagined in her wildest dreams that she would be hearing about this kind of cruel power display from the Royal guards. "Why would the Royal Guards beat the villagers? Are they even allowed to do that on their own accord? Or is someone ordering them to do that?"

The guard was showing some reluctance to answer that question of the Princess. Or rather, he was somewhat afraid.
