With a glance at the lifeless corpse, the thick voice of the Rose Marquis reverberated through the entire city wall.
"We pledge loyalty to Her Highness Princess Ariel and fight for her to completely eradicate the corrupt nobles entrenched here. Princess Ariel once said that we, the Coldflame nobility, should serve as the shield to protect the common people, not the sword against them!"
The Rose Marquis's voice grew stronger as he announced loudly, "Free farmers of Pinehaven City, raise your swords and fight for yourselves and for Princess Ariel!"
It goes without saying that the Rose Marquis's words were instigated by Leo Ray.
As Leo Ray originally planned, only by utilizing Ariel, a member of the royal family with a high reputation among the people, could they justify their actions and quickly stabilize a city.
