One day later.
As the forces gathered in the Commercial City, a few hours' drive from Lor, the usually glamorous city fell silent.
Although no one understood what on earth was happening, the city's upper echelons sensed that something major might be about to unfold.
At that moment, 300 Elite Soldiers of the Royal Guard were seen marching through the streets of Lor, heading toward the Commercial City.
"Has Count Hazzard's royal authority been mobilized in Lor and is heading this way?" Edward asked in shock.
"Yes, Young Lord. All of Count Hazzard's current royal forces are coming here. It's likely that the Count himself is already in the city," Harry replied.
Edward frowned and walked to the window of his room to look down at the city below.
'I didn't expect a real show of force... But Count Hazzard is among my prime suspects for treason. Is he planning to defend them? Or to thwart our plans? Has he found out everything?' he thought.
