401 SCAMMER TRIO ORIGINS (5)

<In the neighborhood of Hazelden Kingdom's common people…>

THE PEOPLE of the Hazelden Kingdom were strongly advised by Princess Brigitte to stay at home while Prince Nero purified the Royal Capital.

But most of them, the common people, in particular, couldn't help but open their windows to watch and talk among themselves. After all, their curiosity about the handsome young Crown Prince of the empire outweighed their fear.

"Will the empire's young Crown Prince really bury the Royal Capital in snow?" a mother asked while poking her head outside the window, just like her neighbors. "Are we going to be safe?"

"I'm worried, too," an old man, who was sticking his head outside the window too, said. "The empire's Crown Prince is still a foreigner. Moreover, the Royal Family of our kingdom betrayed the empire. How would we know we're not being punished?"
