Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

She has been back in the capital for a few days. If she hadn't been hiding her figure, she might have been captured by now. She listened to the information gathered by Jones in the past few days. she.

That's fine, she understands that it's the means of several princes, after all, she still has some uses, but in the past few days, a rumor has spread in the capital, that is, the eldest prince may inherit the throne, or the king will abdicate.

Princess Lucy didn't believe it. She knew her father and king, and would not abdicate the throne so easily, let alone such a simple advertisement.

It was this that made Lucy feel that something had happened to the palace, but Jones hadn't found any good information in the past few days, especially because the guards in the palace were so strict that Jones couldn't get close.

"Your Highness Lucy, tell me about Xiyang City again." Yuffie's pink eyes were full of anticipation, which was also a way to change the subject.

"Well, talking about noodles last night..." Lucy raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously not interested.

She had medicine brought from Xiyang City in her hand, and she wanted to give it to her father right away, but she couldn't see her father, the entire king was occupied by the eldest prince's people, and even the second prince left.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a knock on the door, and Princess Lucy immediately turned her head to look.

"Come in." Yuffie said crisply.

"Kagji..."

The door was pushed open, and Jones walked in with a heavy face and strange red eyes.

"Jones, how is it? Is there any news about the father?"

Seeing the appearance of Bao Er Niang, Lucy's heart skipped a beat, she quickly stood up, walked to Bao Er Niang in two steps, and held her hand tightly with both hands.

"Lucy..." Jones opened her mouth and said shyly, "His Royal Highness, you have...gone."

"What?" Princess Lucy froze, her golden eyes looked at Leopard-Er Niang in disbelief, and trembled, "Gone? What does it mean to go?"

"Sorry, Lucy," sighed Jones.

"No, how is this possible? Those witch doctors said that the father can live for more than half a year. This is impossible, impossible..." Princess Lucy was very emotional, her golden eyes were full of mist, and two lines of tears kept streaming down.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

"Why? Father, I brought the medicine back, why don't you wait..." Lucy choked up and cried, looking sad like a little girl who lost her lollipop, losing the most important thing in her heart.

Jones pursed her lips, hugged Lucy into her arms, and patted her on the back, her red eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"The king actually..." Yuffie was stunned, the news was a bit big.

Looking at Princess Lucy, who was lying in Jones' arms, she sighed helplessly, and muttered to herself, "His Royal Highness has lost her final protection. No wonder these days... it's a little troublesome now."

"Woo woo woo..."

Princess Lucy suppressed crying, cried for half an hour, and fell asleep in Jones' arms.

"Huh..." Jones breathed a sigh of relief and put Lucy on the bed. This time the situation is very troublesome.

"Jones, what's the situation? Why did the king die suddenly?" Yuffie asked in a low voice. She didn't hear any news that the king was seriously ill.

"Lucia, do it." Jones said coldly.

She had risked her life to pry it from a knight, and the palace was on a level of security she had never seen before, with many strangers and some guys in red robes.

"What? The eldest prince actually dared to murder the king, is he crazy?" Yuffie widened her eyes in surprise, which seemed to her to be a lunatic and deranged behavior.

"Hmph, that position is enough to make people mad." Jones's red eyes flashed with murderous intent. After she inquired about the news today, if it wasn't for the fact that the palace was not too heavily guarded, she would have taken off the head of the eldest prince long ago.

"Then what should we do now?" Yuffie looked pitifully at Princess Lucy who was sleeping on the bed, her frowning brows were full of sadness.

"Let's decide after Lucy wakes up." Jones said indifferently. She knew Lucy's temperament, she was the kind of person who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, otherwise she would have been cheated by the three princes and helped count the coins.

"Jones, don't let Your Highness do stupid things." Yuffie's pink eyes widened. She also knew Princess Lucy. If she knew that the king was murdered by the eldest prince, then Princess Lucy would definitely take revenge.

But with the current situation in the capital, let alone revenge, if you accidentally expose your identity, you will definitely be captured and taken into custody by the knights.

"She's not stupid..." Jones stared blankly at Princess Lucy who opened her eyes at some point.

"Uh..." Yuffie followed Leopard-Er Niang's gaze, and saw Princess Lucy lying silently, but her tears kept streaming. She knew it was the calm before the storm.

"Do you want to be king then?" Princess Lucy said hoarsely, her tone full of hatred, "If that's the case, then destroy his hope."

"This..." Yuffie was stunned and said anxiously, "Your Highness, don't do anything stupid."

"What do you want to do? Assassinate directly?" Jones asked coldly.

She knew that the palace was heavily guarded, and once she broke into it, she would definitely die, but if Princess Lucy gave her orders, she would definitely break into the palace without saying a word.

"Go back to Xiyang City and use my honor to help Liu Feng ascend to the throne." Princess Lucy wiped her tears from her sleeves, didn't she want to be the throne? Then take away the position they value.

"Okay." Jones nodded coldly.

Chapter 0628 Catherine's expectations.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the royal capital, the residence of the Duke of Kerak.

"Miss, eat something, you eat so little every day." The maid begged, she looked at Miss Catherine who was leaning on the bed.

"Take it away, I don't have much appetite." Catherine waved her hand indifferently, looking at the lute hanging on the wall, wondering what she was thinking.

"Miss, if you continue like this, you will faint from hunger again." The maid said with tears in her eyes, "The master will be angry again."

"Hmph! Just be angry." Catherine's face was pale, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. "Anyway, to him, I'm just a commodity, as long as it doesn't break."

"This..." The maid was stunned, she didn't dare to answer these words, it would be fatal to be heard.

"Go down."

A mid-spirited voice suddenly sounded behind the maid, which made the maid tremble.

"Ah!" The maid turned around quickly, and saw an old man in his sixties who was about 1.7 meters tall, with a big gray beard and a majestic face.

"Master." The maid saluted respectfully, then bowed her head and retreated.

This old man is the Grand Duke of Kerak, one of the three Dukes of the Kingdom of Yingluo, and Catherine's father.

"Catherine, you're not eating well again." Kerak sat on the chair and looked at the intact dinner on the table with a blank expression.

"My daughter has no appetite." Catherine glanced at Kerak with her golden eyes, and said coldly, "Father, today is the time to say those words again, so there is no need to speak, I will not agree."

"Catherine, you are too presumptuous." A young man walked out next to him, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He was Kerak's eldest son Tove, the one who shot Catherine's pigeon.

"Hmph, what's none of your business?" Catherine said indifferently, pursing her lips without looking at him.

"You..." Tove's face suddenly turned ugly. He is the future grand duke, so he didn't give him face.
