The royal party met the true ruler of this place at the lord's private residence.
There were five people in the group: the prince and princess, a female bodyguard, an old butler... and finally, a thin and frail old man.
The first four were impeccably dressed and attractive, but the respect and honor they received on their journey were not even half of what the beggar-like old man received.
Even the attendants and guards on the way only maintained a courtesy towards the prince, and they would try to get as far away from him as possible.
Princess Lena, who was walking at the front, felt helpless as this scene of avoiding them like the plague kept repeating. This was her experience on the way and also a reflection of the royal family's current situation.
"...The ones who are willing to approach us now are either ambitious or extremely ambitious, too realistic..."
