Chapter 234. Damn Imperial Palace (1)
The day after Caron and his group arrived in the capital, his maternal grandfather Gyle's residence—until then a place of peace and quiet—was thrown into a state of chaos from early morning.
"Incredible. Truly incredible. If you're going to stir up trouble, this is exactly how bold you ought to be!" Gyle burst out laughing as he read the oversized headline in the morning paper.
The front page read...
"The Young Hero of the Ducal Family of Leston! Has He Exposed a Royal Conspiracy?"
"Is the Royal Family Repeating the Tragedy of the Malevolent Emperor?"
All of this had happened within just one day of Caron's arrival in the capital.
"Well, well. You've grown a lot bolder since I last saw you, Caron," Gyle said with a grin.
"That's all thanks to you, Grandfather," Caron replied smoothly.
"Thanks to my grandson, this old man's been forced into a vacation," Gyle said.
"Oh? But you're the Commissioner of the Imperial Tax Office. Is there even anyone above you?" Caron asked.
"Haha! The royal family has ordered me to remain under house watch," Gyle answered.
"I'm sorry, Grandfather," Caron said.
