Chapter 101: Chapter 92 Special Magic Power Protecting the Spirit of the Republic_2 Chapter 101: Chapter 92 Special Magic Power Protecting the Spirit of the Republic_2 This is clothing that commoners wear.

‘Who’s that youth beside her?’

‘Judging by the clothes he wears, he can’t be a nobleman or a member of a wealthy clan from the city. Those nobles and aristocrats always go to great lengths to show off their wealth and status by adorning their clothes with various patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads. ‘

‘Just an inconsequential person? But he is standing next to Lady Alice and that vile woman trusts him so much, it’s definitely suspicious.’

‘If he’s the son of a lover, it wouldn’t be impossible; Alice has been single for a long time, it’s quite normal to have several secret lovers. But, that can’t be right, Alice wouldn’t bring him to such a solemn place as the city hall.’

‘Moreover, they seem to be on equal footing.’

Lord Prole quickly mused, striving hard to identify possible identities for Ivita within his mind.

‘Will she here interfere with our plans?’

‘Should we act now?’

Next to Lord Prole, a woman cloaked in a grey robe nudged him with her elbow.

The woman said softly,”Viscount Winchester has made thorough preparations.”

“Rest assured, everything is within our plan.”

Lord Prole quickly whispers, “Is this stranger who suddenly appeared by Alice’s side also part of your plan? Where did he come from, and which power does he represent?”

“Whether a plan can be successful depends on the intelligence we grasp beforehand. At this critical juncture, every stranger who appears by that vile woman Alice’s side should be scrutinized for the power they represent.”

The woman didn’t answer because she didn’t know, but she completely underestimated Ivita due to his youth.

Lord Prole was relieved when he saw the woman’s silence, wrongly assuming that it suggested they knew Ivita’s identity.

At this time.

The mayor of Parviga had two robust laborers carry up a low stool to the stage.

He himself walked up to the high stage in the city hall, next to a fountain with a lion statue, sat on the stool, and loudly declared, “Lady Alice has arrived, we can now start today’s meeting.”

“Today we are to decide the future of Parviga.”

“Either maintain the status quo or join the city alliance formed by Ambros City to resist the stupidly barbaric nobility. We ask everyone to discuss. At the same time, those of rank can come up to this lion platform to voice their thoughts.”

“In accordance with custom, the person who receives the most enthusiastic applause will have their proposal endorsed by the council.”

After the mayor finished speaking, he stood up, wanting to step down from the lion fountain platform, to let those intending to give speeches come up on stage.

But at that moment, Lord Prole unexpectedly stood up from his seat, looked around, locked eyes with Lady Alice for a moment, then said, “I believe that among everyone present, my opinion weighs the most, so I should be the first to speak.”

“I have always believed that Parviga’s previous policy was wrong.”

Most of the gentlemen in the city hall let out a sigh, expressing disapproval.

Some gentlemen even took off their hats and threw them towards Lord Prole.

Even those who were neutral felt that nobility could not longer hold ground within the city.

But Lord Prole didn’t flinch, the gray-robed woman beside him whispered a few curses. “A bunch of lowlifes.”

“They dare to treat those of noble rank like this.”

“Do they believe that the nobility conferred by the Grand Viscount is less worthy than businessmen who have no legal protection in the city?”

“Ridiculous, but too bad they won’t have much time left.”

Lord Prole maintained a smile. “Everyone seems to have misunderstood my intentions, I’m not standing up for the nobles. I’m displeased with Parviga because I believe that Parviga, as Ambros’ largest blacksmith city, shouldn’t be so timid.”

“We should open our warehouses and provide Ambros City with our city’s proudest weapons for free, we should send out our bravest children, parents’ precious only sons, to support Ambros’ great cause of resisting the nobility.”

“I also propose that we should build a bell tower beside the city hall!”

“Raise the true flag of the Republic!”

All the gentlemen at the venue were shocked by the speech from this tough, stubborn old nobleman.

This old nobleman had always believed that the system of nobility was the most perfect system in the world, and he always told others that although the system of nobility had its flaws, compared with the headless democratic system, the system of nobility was the best gift left to mankind by the God of All Things.

Moreover, the system of nobility has a long history and is the most reliable system.

But today, how could this old man utter words that are more extreme than the followers of the republic!

Lady Alice looked at Lord Prole in confusion, “What on earth is he up to?”

“Could it be, he is not the one behind all this?”

Ivita probably guessed the man’s motive, but there were just some things he didn’t understand due to a lack of common knowledge.

He asked Alice. “Alice, what does raising a bell tower mean?”
