"Love! The closest one to here is Crocus."
"The royal capital? It doesn't matter. Our current identity is that of hunters of the Spectres. How about that name?"
"Sounds good, but... now we should be considered a dark guild, right?"
"We're from a dark guild, and this has nothing to do with Fairy Tail."
"I understand what happened, but does that mean you'll repent and change your ways afterward?"
"What else can we do? We can't stay a dark guild forever, can we? Enough talk, let's get going."
【"like!"】
The figures of the person and the cat gradually disappeared into the distance.
But those words clearly reached Gajeel's ears.
He didn't doubt whether Henna was lying.
Given the chaos he's caused in the city... is it still possible he's lying?
[Staring blankly at the now calm night sky.]
Gajeel couldn't help but shake his head.
"Destroy the entire Phantom Lord... What kind of guild have we messed with?!"
Chapter 225 So powerful that even the kingdom had to yield.
[The Kingdom of Fiore.]
[The Royal Capital!]
This is a city enveloped in flowers.
This period is the season when all the flowers are in full bloom.
Therefore, people flocked to and from the capital.
It's peak tourist season.
【but……】
【boom! ! ! 】
A violent explosion rang out inside a tavern on the outskirts of the capital.
A terrifying roar echoed through the sky, and the intense flames immediately drew the attention of countless people in the capital.
Even the magic knight orders stationed within the kingdom were alerted.
The entire palace was thrown into chaos.
"Third squad, fourth squad! Follow me!!"
"The capital has been attacked!!"
Inside the palace, Arcadios, the Grand Master of the Knights, shouted at the top of his lungs.
[Soon, the fully armed knights had all assembled.]
Arcadios's expression was solemn.
He roared at the knights below.
"Just recently, the Ghostly branch outside the palace was attacked by a terrorist; the enemy appears to be a man with cherry blossom-colored hair."
"Therefore, we must act swiftly and bring him to justice!"
"Ohhhhh!!!"
[As soon as Arcadios finished speaking, a hysterical roar erupted from the knights below.]
The capital is the face of the royal family, and also the face of the entire Kingdom of Fiore.
At this juncture, when countless eyes are drawn to the capital because of the blooming flowers.
Such an undisguised terrorist attack has occurred in the capital.
This is a direct slap in the face to royalty.
As the most loyal knight of the royal family, this was something Arcadios could not allow.
He must be apprehended and brought to justice!
With this resolve, Arcadios drew his sword, preparing to lead his knights to the scene.
"Stop, Arcadios."
Just then, a pleasant voice rang out.
[They stopped Arcadios.]
"Princess Emerald??"
Arcadios stared blankly at the little girl who had suddenly appeared before them, spreading her arms to block their path.
The girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
The most striking feature was her long, emerald-green hair.
[Emerald Fiore!]
[The princess of the entire Kingdom of Fiore, the king of the Kingdom of Fiore, and the biological daughter of Thomas Fiore.]
[Out of courtesy, the moment the jade appeared.]
All the knights lowered their heads and knelt on one knee.
Even Arcadios was no exception.
"Princess Emerald, please don't stop us. That thug must be stopped."
Hearing Arcadios's words, Emerald sighed helplessly.
He gently shook his head: "It can't be stopped."
She said.
Upon hearing this, Arcadios and the others couldn't help but frown.
"Princess, please have faith in our fighting strength."
"As the palace's trump card, your strength is evident to all; capturing just one person is nothing."
However, Jade shook her head at this.
"We just received a message from Oak City."
"Just last night, the exact same incident happened in Oak City."
【"but……"】
At this point, Emerald's small face became serious.
"The lord of Oak City reported this matter to the Magic Council verbatim."
"The strange things happened here."
"Even though the footage and other materials were already on those congressmen's desks."
"But... the matter was strangely suppressed."
"The council only stated that it was investigating, but in reality, it did not take any action."
"Don't you guys see anything wrong with this?"
Hearing Emerald's words, even Arcadios fell silent.
After a long pause, he looked up and said, "You mean... even the Magic Council doesn't want to get involved in this?"
[Seemingly finding it hard to believe even himself, Arcadios stared intently at Emerald's face.]
However, Jade nodded in agreement.
Now, Arcadios had no choice but to give it serious thought.
Arcadios did not underestimate the words spoken by the nearly eleven or twelve-year-old Emerald Princess.
After all... although she is young, she has been groomed from childhood to be the future queen of the Kingdom of Fiore.
Furthermore, Jade has never disappointed anyone's expectations; at such a young age, its strategic vision is truly extraordinary.
But now even jade is saying this...
"Then, Your Highness Jade, what do you think... we should do?"
"Pretend to be confused!" said Jade.
"Upon closer analysis, if even the Magic Council doesn't want to get involved in this matter, isn't that enough to prove that this thug named Natsu is a huge problem?"
"If you ask me, we should just ignore it, surround the area, and keep it out of the public eye."
"In any case, his goal from beginning to end has always been the ruler of the Phantoms."
"He won't implicate other citizens unnecessarily; he'll leave once he's resolved the situation."
