Seeing Charlotte and Count Stafford so insistent, Marquis Howard wanted to speak but stopped himself.
But in the end, he nodded his head and gave a slight bow to Charlotte:
"I shall obey... your command."
He waved his hand to the nobles who had come to greet them, and they all stepped aside, revealing the carriage that had been prepared in advance.
Charlotte glanced at the royal carriage adorned with the Roman Family Emblem and then boarded it with poise.
"To the Royal Palace."
She ordered.
The carriage moved slowly, forming an impressive procession with the escort of nobles and soldiers, heading to the heart of Falling Star City—the Red Palace.
...
The Red Palace was located in the northern part of Falling Star City, about thirty minutes' journey from the docks.
When the grand procession escorting Charlotte arrived at the gates of the Royal Palace, it was clear that the Royal Knight Order guarding the palace had been informed in advance.
