THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 192: RAYDE CITY
Rayde City was a major city in the Kingdom of Azeroth, although it was still inferior to the Capital of the Kingdom of Azeroth but in terms of size and strength, Rayde City can be in the top 5 position as the largest city in the Kingdom of Azeroth.
There are several reasons why Rayde City became so prosperous, but the main reason is that the City of Rayde is not too far from the Royal Capital of Azeroth and its strategic position so that it becomes a resting place for traders in the northern region of the Kingdom of Azeroth who are trying to go to the capital or cities on the eastern, western and southern sides of the kingdom.
The name of Rayde City comes from the city's leader, Grand Duke Rayde, a hero of the Azeroth Kingdom in the past.
According to legend, Grand Duke Rayde was a general who accompanied King Azeroth I against all other kingdoms until forming the earliest Azeroth Kingdom.
Because of King Azeroth I's gratitude for his friend, General Rayde who had fought with him through hundreds of battlefields to the point of dying many times to protect the king. King Azeroth I appointed General Rayde as Grand Duke, and the Rayde family has survived as influential nobles throughout the Kingdom of Azeroth.
Even according to some people, as long as the entire Grand Duke joined forces, they could take down the king though.
Currently a horse-drawn carriage passed through the prosperous City of Rayde, this horse-drawn carriage had 100 fully armed guards as well as a man who became a horse-driver.
In the horse-drawn carriage, Myro and Ren sat there observing the prosperity of Rayde City through the window of the carriage.
Although Rayde City was not as big as the capital of the Azeroth Kingdom that Myro had seen before, but Myro felt Rayde City looked much more lively.
Why would Myro think that? The reason was none other than along the road to this city, Myro found a myriad of merchant caravans rushing also towards Rayde City.
Not only that, in the streets of Rayde City there were countless shops and people passing by full of smiles on their faces. If in the City of Loth, the situation as in the City of Rayde now only occurs when there is a major event or festival.
"Master, where do we go next?", asked Yorou who was controlling the horse.
At first they were stopped by guards at the city gate, however Myro brought 100 troops so it must be checked first before being allowed to pass through our gate.
But after showing Carla an invitation, the soldiers guarding the city gates did not dare to stop them again.
"Go to Rayde's Inn! As an invited guest, Grand Duke Rayde has prepared an inn for us" said Myro who recalled the invitation from Carla noting the problem of the guests' residence while in Rayde City.
"Rayde's Inn? Alright, I understand", said Yorou who told her disciple to ask the gatekeepers.
When I found out the location of the Rayde Inn, Myro's horse carriage moved back.
Myro who was on the horse carriage suddenly realized a strange thing behind the smiles of the residents of Rayde City, Ren who had realized that from earlier immediately said "Master, sir, the residents of this city did smile, but there was a difference to their smiles".
"You're right!", Myro said "With their smiles I felt an invisible worry".
"Most likely the news of the Torte rebellion has been known by all the residents in the Grand Duke Rayde region as well, it's not strange they feel worried" Ren said.
Ren had nothing to say about Myro's opinion just now, after all Ren had no right to determine whether to cooperate with Carla or not. The decisive person is Myro, Ren's job is only to give advice while Myro is the one who determines their path.
...----------------...
3 days later, the previously apprehensive City of Rayde soon forgets their worries at least for today as everyone in the city knows that now is the birthday of Carla's daughter, Rilia.
At night, the largest villa in Rayde City shines brightly. Hundreds of horse carriages rushed towards the villa, everyone who got off the horse carriage must have been wearing luxurious clothes or a soldier's rest suit like light armor.
But every person who got off their horse carriage must have a powerful aura, an aura that came from the influential people in Azeroth Kingdom.
Everyone who came to this party must have come from a big background, be it nobles, political officials or the military.
Even though this party was the feast of a 10-year-old, the officials and nobles of Azeroth Kingdom came because they knew how frightening Carla was in Azeroth Kingdom.
Slowly Myro's horse carriage also came, he did not bring any bodyguards except Yorou and Ren.
More precisely, Yorou's existence was more than enough to protect Myro at the party.
Myro got off the horse carriage in a light silver armor, he was now the military governor so Myro was also part of the military officials of the Azeroth Kingdom, therefore Myro can use silver armor that represents his identity as a noble and a military official.
After getting off the carriage, Myro extended his hand to Ren who was about to get off.
When Myro and Ren went down, the eyes of everyone around were instantly drawn to them.
Although Myro is not yet 17 years old, but Myro's face is handsome enough to attract the attention of many women.
Not to mention the aura around Myro being put through the battlefield and managing the territory for several years since becoming a noble, so Myro looked more mature than the rest of the people. If someone just met Myro, they might think Myro is in his 20s.
Ren adjusts his clothes, he now does not wear clothes that he often use but Ren wears a black dress that shimmers like a starry night sky.
His clothes did change to adjust the state of the party, but Ren still brought his folding fan because it was Ren's weapon.
"Master, I've already put down our horse carriage, now we can leave" said Yorou who rushed towards Myro, he had to put Myro's horse carriage first so as not to disturb the way of the other horse-drawn carriage that came.
As Myro nodded and they planned to leave, a voice of a man caught their attention "Earl Myro, thank you for coming to my sister's birthday party!".
Myro, Ren and Yorou stare towards the voice to find Loir is the one who called them.
