The autumn leaves gradually fell, and another season passed in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, the effects of Princess Olivia's return gradually disappeared.
The entire Kutu Royal City seemed to have returned to how it was before, and it became much more peaceful.
Apart from a few people, Princess Olivia's return did not affect many people's lives.
For many people, whether it was Princess Olivia or anyone else, it had nothing to do with them.
What they needed to do was to struggle and live each day.
Of course, this was only for most people.
For people like Chen Heng, someone like Princess Olivia was worth paying attention to.
As such, he paid special attention to Princess Olivia's every action and thought about the current situation in the Kutu Royal City.
However, what surprised him was that...
Princess Olivia's return did not bring much change.
The Kutu Royal City was still the same as it had been before.
Nothing seemed to have changed; it was as if Princess Olivia had just come back to visit her family.
However, Chen Heng felt that things were not so simple.
The calmness on the surface did not mean that it was the truth.
It was just that there were many things that he could not sense, so he had no way of knowing just how many undercurrents were hidden beneath this calmness.
However, Chen Heng did not care about these things for now.
Right now, he could smell that something bad was about to happen.
"Kaylin, are you really going to leave?"
Outside the manor, looking at Chen Heng, Krudo had a look of surprise on his face, "The weather has already become cold; it is not a good time to travel."
"There's nothing I can do."
Standing in front of Krudo, Chen Heng gave a faint smile and said, "In my hometown, my father is still waiting for me."
I promised him that I would go back to visit him, so I don't want to stand him up. "
"I see …"
Only then did Krudo come to a realization, and he said with some regret, "It's a pity that after you leave, I won't be able to find a suitable sparring partner."
"You can go and find Kaylin and the others."
Chen Heng said, "Even though Kaylin is not a Knight, his sword skills are not bad. After I leave, you can try to find him."
"He won't pay attention to a country bumpkin like me."
A mocking look appeared on Krudo's face, "Moreover, I'm not interested in those soft fellows."
"You …"
Looking at Krudo, Chen Heng shook his head, feeling quite frustrated.
"When are you leaving?"
Krudo said seriously as he looked at Chen Heng, "When the time comes, I'll send you off."
"That's perfect."
Chen Heng smiled, "With winter coming, there will most likely be more thieves outside."
"It's good to have you escorting me."
Hearing this, Krudo could not help but laugh, "Who would dare to rob a Knight?"
"That might not be the case …"
They talked for a while and then left.
After a while, Chen Heng stood there and watched Krudo leave. Thinking back to the letter that Kailin had sent, he thought to himself.
Ever since Princess Olivia had returned, he had been paying attention to the situation in the Kutu Royal City.
Even though it could not be seen on the surface, after Princess Olivia had returned, the situation in the Kutu Royal City had become tense.
This nervousness was because of Princess Olivia's return, as well as because the King had fallen unconscious again and was said to be unconscious.
Recently, there were rumors that the Second Prince, His Highness Grith, seemed to be returning to the Kutu Royal City.
This news caused Chen Heng to feel quite wary.
It seemed that as time went on, the situation in the Kutu Royal City would become more and more tense.
When that time came, the current peaceful situation would not be able to continue.
Sensing all of this, Chen Heng started to think about retreating.
If he was one of those top-notch bigwigs, perhaps he could still try to seek benefits from the current situation and obtain more things.
But now, he had nothing. Apart from his martial strength, there was nothing else.
He did not have the qualifications to take advantage of this situation.
To him, the situation before him was more dangerous than it was an opportunity.
At that moment, his old friend, Kailin, also wrote a letter.
The contents of the letter were quite ordinary, and it was just a vague reminder for Chen Heng to be careful.
It was this letter that made Chen Heng decide to leave the Kutu Royal City and return to his family.
It just so happened that he still had some things to take care of with Baron Kaisen, so he could take this opportunity to deal with them.
After putting away his things, Chen Heng ordered the servants to pack up the things that he was going to take away before leaving for a while.
The place he went to was Kailin's manor.
"They're all not here?"
After walking outside Kailin's manor and hearing the old butler's reply, Chen Heng inwardly frowned.
He had come here to bid farewell to Carey, but he also wanted to see Verna.
Over the past two months, he had come here many times to visit Verna.
Before, Verna would often stay in this manor, and he had never thought that she would not be here this time.
"Please give this to Miss Verna."
He turned and looked at the old butler as he courteously smiled, "I'll be leaving for a while; I hope that when I return, we will be able to meet again.
"This is the letter I left for her; please give it to her."
He was incredibly courteous as he handed the letter to the old butler.
The old butler respectfully accepted it and expressed that he would definitely give it to Chen Heng.
Following this, Chen Heng left.
He walked through the narrow path and came to the road outside.
Ahead, his carriage was still waiting, and it seemed that it was waiting for him to return.
Standing there by himself, Chen Heng's figure was tall and straight, and he looked incredibly valiant.
Subconsciously, he looked to the side and looked in a certain direction for a very, very long time.
"Sir, what is it?"
Ahead, the coachman driving the carriage felt quite confused.
"It's nothing."
Chen Heng's expression was calm as he silently looked away and got into the carriage.
Soon, they left the place.
Chen Heng remained where he was until they left.
In the direction that Chen Heng had been looking at, there were some movements.
A few people wearing black leather armor walked out from a corner and gasped for breath, their bodies drenched in sweat.
"Damn it, damn it."
Looking at the departing carriage, they felt quite afraid, "He definitely discovered us."
"Such sensitive senses; it doesn't make sense."
"What do we do now?"
Someone asked, "Should we chase after him?"
"Do you want to die?"
The person in the lead's expression was dark, "Just report the fact that he was here; everything else has nothing to do with us.
"Our mission list doesn't have anything about becoming enemies with a quasi-Knight-to-be …"
.....
"Those people just then …"
Sitting in the carriage, Chen Heng thought to himself, "Were they Princess Olivia's people?"
Just as he thought to himself, he dismissed this possibility.
If they were Princess Olivia's people, they would not have been so hostile towards him.
After all, he did not have any enmity with Princess Olivia.
Even if Knight Mader did not like him, he would not go so far as to find such a group of people to ambush him.
In that case, were they from another faction?
Who were they targeting? Carey, Verna, or him?
Chen Heng thought to himself.
At that moment, he was even more certain that leaving was the correct decision.
However, as time passed, he did not know what the situation in the Kutu Royal City would be like.
Time gradually passed.
Over the next few days, Chen Heng visited his friends in the Kutu Royal City and told them about his plans.
He did not have many friends in the Kutu Royal City, and it took him some time to visit them.
