If you want to ask which city on the Star-Moon Peninsula is the most famous, it is undoubtedly Lutesia, the capital of the Crescent Kingdom.

As one of the oldest cities in the Western Unite region, Lutetia was already one of the many capitals of the ancient Blood Dynasty as early as the Bloodline Kingship era, and before the founding of the Unite Empire 1,100 years ago, Lutetia

In the early days, this place became the imperial capital of the empire.

Nine hundred years ago, the Yunaite Empire encountered a succession crisis, and the entire country was divided into two, namely the Eastern Yunaite Empire and the Western Yunaite Empire.

Not long after, the East Yunet Empire was destroyed in a disaster, and it became the Black Land of East Yunet where monsters were rampant.

The Siyonite Empire has persisted to this day, but it has also experienced division, destruction and reconstruction in history...

The Crescent Kingdom was established during the split of the Siyonite Empire.

After the Yunet Empire split from east to west, the founder of the Valva family, who was the Prime Minister of the Xi Yunet Empire at the time, took advantage of the weakening imperial power of the empire to seize power again to split the country, dividing nearly one-third of the northwest third of the Xi Yunet Empire and establishing an independent country.

, proclaimed himself king, which is now the Crescent Kingdom.

Lutetia naturally became the capital of the Crescent Kingdom.

It is precisely because of such a period of history that even today, the residents of the Crescent Kingdom regard themselves as the purest descendants of Yunaite, and are fiercely competing with the rebuilt West Yunaite Empire for Yunaite orthodoxy.

Charlotte saw all this history from church historical materials.

The nobles of Miria rarely record history, but the Church of the Holy Royal Court has such a good habit, which also allows Charlotte to fully understand the past of this world.

Of course, even the Holy Royal Court's detailed history only begins with the founding of the Yunet Empire.

As for the earlier history of the blood royal period, it may be due to some taboos or there may be a lack of records. Most of them are already legends passed down orally.

Perhaps some immortal species such as elves and dragons still have memories of that period.

But humans are humans, they are who they are.

Elves and dragons who always look down on short-lived species will not be interested in human history.

As for the Mythic Era and Elven Era that are earlier than the Blood Moon Era, I am afraid that even among the records of elves and dragons, many of them have been buried in the past...

After all, even a giant dragon that lives longer than an elf has a maximum lifespan of only 1,700 or 8,000 years, which is far from being able to experience the past two thousand years ago.

The only ones that can be called walking mythological history books are probably the vampires who survived from ancient times.

But it's a pity that these guys who spend most of their time sleeping in coffin boards are sometimes better off going to ancient ruins to see the murals...

Stop chatting and get back to the present moment.

The royal capital of Lutesia is located in the middle of the Crescent Kingdom, almost half a month away from Castres.

There was less than a month left before the Central Conference. In order to rush on the road, Charlotte reduced the number of visits and stay time to the noble lords along the way.

The trip went smoothly. More than a hundred heavily armed knights escorted her. No one dared to touch Charlotte's troubles. Even if there were bandits and robbers along the way, they had to make a careful detour after seeing Castel's motorcade.

Walk.

Almost twenty days later, Charlotte saw the tall city walls of the Crescent King's capital, Lutecia.

That's a really tall city wall...

The huge city gate is nearly twenty meters high and is made of solid stones and iron components. It stands like a giant, declaring the authority of the kingdom to people coming and going.

The sparkling moat is very wide, probably more than fifty meters, and is connected to the Caina River surrounding Lutetia, and there is even boat traffic.

As the royal capital of the Crescent Kingdom, Lutesia is much more prosperous than Beigang. It is said that its population is close to one million, second only to the Holy City of the Theocracy.

The main road leading to the city gate is filled with horse-drawn carriages, pedestrians, travelers and caravans. It is even busier than the dock in Beigang during its busiest period.

When Charlotte's motorcade came in a mighty manner, what they saw was such a prosperous scene.

The Castel family's motorcade is still very conspicuous.

A total of twenty luxuriously decorated carriages and more than a hundred fully armed knights attracted the attention of countless people as soon as they arrived, and the great nobles showed their prestige.

Pedestrians, travelers and small caravans nearby voluntarily gave way and allowed Castel's motorcade to go first.

Of course, it's just to give way.

There were very few people who stopped to salute like they did in the Northland or looked at it curiously like they did in other places.

Most of the caravans and pedestrians just glanced at the armored knight a few more times, then stayed away and stopped paying attention.

This is also normal.

The most indispensable thing in Lutetia is the nobility. Nobles of all sizes can be seen everywhere. If you throw a brick casually on the street, you may hit a baron or viscount. People's awe for the nobility is not as deep-rooted as in other places.

Luxurious aristocratic fleets, such as the Castel family's carriage, are very common in Lutetia, and Charlotte has seen quite a few of them just outside the city gate.

Charlotte even suspected that what really made people take the initiative to avoid them was the more than a hundred majestic armored knights escorting them.

In addition, not all teams will give way after seeing Caster's team.

Some convoys whose carriages clearly had aristocratic emblems on their sides did not get out of the way, and this even included some caravans filled with goods.

Many of these convoys were escorted by knights, and Charlotte even sensed extraordinary auras from some of the knights.

It was obvious that these convoys all had aristocratic backgrounds, and Charlotte even saw the emblems of several large families in the kingdom that she had cheated on.

Unlike pedestrians, the people in these convoys just curiously looked at the Castel family's luxurious carriage and unfamiliar family emblem, and stopped paying attention.

However, the knights escorting the convoy couldn't help but look at Charlotte's escort, or to be more precise, at the sophisticated equipment of the Castel knights.

As for those extraordinary knights, their eyes kept falling on the knights around Charlotte's carriage, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

Without him, many of the knights traveling with Charlotte are also extraordinary people, including a few advanced ones.

The nobles of Miria also know how to choose what to eat. In order to build momentum for this trip to the royal capital and avoid being approached by some unsighted guys, Charlotte brought the most elite bodyguard knights with her.

, and the best knight armor was also brought out.

She came to the meeting and negotiations as the victor and new vassal, and had no intention of keeping a low profile from the beginning.

After taking a look at the exterior of Lutetia, Charlotte lowered the curtains of the carriage and waited quietly to enter the city.

However, just when Castel's motorcade was about to enter the stone bridge of the moat, bursts of horse hooves mixed with screams and curses suddenly came from the side and rear of the motorcade.

Charlotte felt the carriage stop slightly, and heard the coachman's curses.

She frowned slightly, opened the curtains again and asked:

"What happened?"

"My lord, it's the cavalry! We were supposed to get on the bridge, but suddenly some cavalry jumped into our team and rushed to the front!"

The driver of the carriage said angrily.

"cavalry?"

Charlotte raised her eyebrows slightly.

She looked out the car window and saw two rows of armored knights wearing gray cloaks and equally well-armed. They surpassed Castel's team and occupied the stone bridge leading to the city gate first, joining Charlotte's team.

They lined up on both sides, majestic and rampant along the way. The screams just now were from the cavalry rushing into pedestrians. At this moment, you can still hear the cry, it is obvious that someone was injured.

However, these knights didn't seem to care. They didn't even look at the pedestrian who was knocked to the ground. They just roughly let other passers-by move him to the side of the road.

Several knights who happened to be blocking Castel's motorcade whistled at Charlotte's escort knights and made provocative gestures, which caused Charlotte's knights to glare.

At the front of the motorcade, the captain of the guard, Baron Chalon, was riding a horse, frowning and talking to the knight who was obviously the leader.

The leading knight of the opponent's team had an arrogant attitude. Only when his eyes fell on Castel's guard of knights did he become more or less serious.

And when Charlotte's eyes fell on the noble badge on the opponent's chest, a hint of surprise appeared on her expression.

Apart from him, she was too familiar with the other party's clan emblem and had dealt with him some time ago.

That was the emblem of the Gaston family, exactly the same as the emblem of the Earl Gaston family whom she transformed into a blood servant.

The only difference is probably that the other party's emblem is surrounded by a gold border, while the emblem of Earl Gaston's family is surrounded by a silver border.

Charlotte planned to use magic to hear what they were talking about, but before she could listen, Baron Chalon ended the conversation with the other party.

He comforted his knight, and then rode towards Charlotte.

"what happened?"

Charlotte asked.

"My lord, this is the cavalry team of Duke Gaston's family. Their family members are about to enter the city."

Baron Chalon said with an ugly expression.

"A member of the family? Not the Duke himself?"

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

"I don't know. They didn't explain it in detail. They just wanted us to get out of the way."

Baron Sharon shook his head.

"Tsk, that's quite impressive."

Charlotte clicked her tongue.

Baron Chalon looked hesitant:

"Lord Earl, then we..."
