A commotion? Theyre crazy about money. Sotis, I reckon businessn are the sa as dragons, in that theyll do anything for money.
Sitting inside the carriage, I ordered the coach to stop. Freya, who was next to , raised her head up from my thigh. Startled, she looked on both sides and proposed, Your Majesty, are you not returning to the Imperial Palace first? I think the Imperial Palace would be the safest place for you, no? What do we do if sothing happens to you while you are here? They have no morals to speak of. They even dared to assault the Imperial Palace for money.
They dont dare to.
I grabbed hold of Freyas hand to calm her down. Freya always overreacted when dangerous situations arose. Perhaps it was because I used to go through lots of dangerous things that she paid particular attention to similar matters. Ying gently placed her long sword onto her thigh. She wore the sa expression as always, but she was fully ready.
Ying, go and see whats going. You must bring the scene under control. Do not allow our guards to open fire. If we open fire first, itll blow up into a foreign affair. I want to have a dip in the hot springs with my moms. Not dealing with more headaches during my trip, I commanded.
I will be fine, but what about you here? If you are in danger
I wont be in danger. I have dragon scales covering my body. I made this call for I know they cant hurt . They just want to cause a commotion to ask to negotiate with . Theyre businessn, not soldiers. Since theyre businessn, they wont do what soldiers would. Just as importantly, we have to ensure that our guards dont hurt them as theyre our biggest bargaining chip.
Ying nodded: Yes, Your Majesty.
Ying then turned around and got out of the carriage to head to the location of the disturbance. I continued sitting in the carriage. I didnt give the coach the next command. Freya appeared to understand the motivation behind the commotion. She, therefore, suggested, So, Your Majesty, what is your plan now? I think that, if you head straight over, it will only make it easier for them to act haughtier. How about just watching? In fact, there is nothing to worry about. You will be able to voice your stance if you refuse to give them ti of the day.
Youre right. Nevertheless, I still need to keep my attention on it since I cant allow anything to happen when Im about to head to Troy City.
I shall send n. However, as soon as a fight breaks out with our guards, it will be difficult for Ying to bring the situation under control on her own. We need Miss Ling Yue to transform into a fox to stop them.
No, Ling Yue cant transform at this present ti. Shes currently in her oestrus period. In her fox form, her wild instincts will be unleashed once she sees blood in her fox form; foxes are carnivores, after all. Its dangerous to allow her wild instincts to be unleashed; therefore, we cant allow her to transform now. The sa applies for Liu Yue.
Th-Then, how are we going to subdue them?
When it cos to it, well let the Imperial Palaces guards break them up. The Imperial Palaces guards are experienced in dealing with these sorts of conflicts, arent they? We can just return to the Imperial Palace now.
I nodded. The carriage then turned to head toward the Imperial Palace. Freya silently nodded then resud lying on my thigh. She curled up her body similarly to a cat and giggled: Such comfortable monts are so precious. I do not want a barrel of monkeys to disturb while I am enjoying this joyous mont. Let enjoy myself until we get to the doors of the Imperial Palace.
Have a good rest. I gently caressed Freyas head.

Current ti at the entrance of the plaza.
Call King Troy here!! We want to see King Troy! We are just doing business in the North! Weve committed no mistakes and paid a good deal of taxes, so why must we put up with this? Asking us to transport gold coins here from the South is a very unreasonable ask. Thats diminishing our ability to compete and purchase. Its another form of protecting the manufacturer here. Why must we be subjected to this unfair treatnt? It is decidedly obvious those manufacturers are the ones who are extorting the people. Thats not to ntion that theyre the primary extorters. This is the Norths oppression!!
Please submit your appeal to King Troy via the proper procedures. He will never ignore the peoples appeals. What youre currently doing, though, is disrupting the integrity of safety in our North! What you are doing is ruining your right to make a legal appeal! Now, please lay down your weapons, and return to your residence. We will not pursue this matter with you!! Guards!! Guards!! Put away your rifles! Put them all away!! Do not fire!! Understood?! Do not fire!!
The chief rode back and forth through the crowd to prevent the two sides from fighting. He asked the guards to stay vigilant and not recklessly fire. Unfortunately, the human group didnt stop lobbing stones and other objects at the guards. Wounded, the guards seething rage continued to intensify. Had it not been for the chief strictly controlling them, they wouldve retaliated.
The red sun was bowing out. The guards at the scene grew irritated. Nonetheless, the human group didnt show any signs of fatigue. If they allowed the humans to continue with their riot, the most prosperous plaza in the Norths Imperial City would be in peril.
If the current situation continued on, there wouldnt ever be any change. They had to take so asures to end the situation. Though Troy said not to open fire, he never said they couldnt use force. Thus, the chief went up to Ying. On edge, he explained, Miss Ying, Miss Ying, you hold the highest rank amongst us. I hope we can apprehend the humans for now. If we continue to allow them to carry on, it will impact our normal lives in the North. We wont kill them, but we should apprehend so of them.
Ying shook her head: I need to ask King Troy for the specifics on how to deal with them.
That would take at least two hours, would it not?!
Its necessary, sternly replied Ying.
It was clear that Ying didnt allow for any questions from her expression. She turned and headed to the Imperial Palace. A shot was suddenly fired. Everyone, including the chief and humans, froze. Silence perated in the air.
