Second Arc (His Art of War) - 66. Change Of Plans

Meanwhile, at Ironwall City's gate, the guards stopped a carriage for inspection. A servant immediately got down and opened the door for them. A guard looked in and could see a dark blue-haired man in nice merchant clothes with a white-haired man in assistant clothes. Across them, a middle-aged woman leaned weakly on the black-haired woman's shoulder next to her.
"What's your business in the capital?" asked the guard.

"I want to treat my mother, sir," answered the merchant.

The guard's gaze shifted on the middle-aged woman. Her body looked stiff and difficult to move even though she was not bound by any rope, her mouth was also tightly closed like a mute. But despite her condition, her eyes looked at the guard sharply.
"What is wrong with her?"

"She has a strange disease. Therefore I want to give her the best treatment in the capital."

The guard threw his gaze once more at the woman.
"Just take care of her well. Do not spread a strange disease in the capital." Then the guard closed the door.

"Nothing suspicious," said the other guards who had just finished checking the carriage.
"You may pass."

The carriage moved forward through the gate. Of course, there was nothing suspicious because Angel had smuggled many things before. Some of his troops had entered this city two days ago in the same way as him or infiltrated the capital at night.
"I told you, you wouldn't be able to escape from me." Angel's eyes were on Queen Thea who was staring sharply at him with an angry expression. Her body was still bound by his dark aura including her mouth, which was why she couldn't speak. He planned to take her to the castle and asked Princess Rose to treat her. He took this dangerous plan because according to Dark Agent's report Princess Rose usually treated and examined her patients in the tower near the castle since commoners couldn't enter the castle easily.

Also, he had ordered his troops who were already in the capital to prepare an ambush around the tower since every time Princess Rose treated her patients, King Eudon also ordered a platoon of his troops to guard her.

Their carriage had arrived at the castle gate and the guards stopped them.
"Halt! You can't enter this place without permission!" said one of the guards.

Angel and Frost got off the carriage.
"Good morning, sir. I'm a merchant who came from far away to ask Princess Rose's help to treat my sick mother," said Angel.
The guard showed a displeased expression.

"Tomorrow is Her Highness' engagement day, she doesn't have time for you."

"That's why I have to see her now. Tomorrow is her engagement day and after that, she will go to the kingdom of Draconis. I may not be able to see her again," he reasoned. He had expected this from the beginning and wanted to use it as an excuse so he could meet her immediately.

"Her Highness can't be bothered now!" said the guard in a firm tone.

"Sir, we really need her. You can check how bad our madam's condition is," said Frost, gesturing to the guard to check inside the carriage.

The guard looked into the carriage and saw Queen Thea leaning weakly on Flare's shoulder. Seeing her condition, the guard changed his mind.
"Fine, I'll report it to Her Highness but you can't force her to meet you."

"Thank you," said Angel.

The guards entered the castle while they waited outside.
