"Actually, the royal family is quite nice. Our Heartfilia family has a lot of contact with them, so we're fairly familiar with them."
Seeing that Moen agreed to meet the royal family, Jiude spoke up, seemingly indicating that he had a good relationship with the royal family.
"That would be for the best. I'm not one to tolerate injustice. If these royals and government officials are a bunch of good-for-nothings, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget."
Moen smiled and said that he also wanted to have Jiude give him a heads-up in advance.
Regardless of whether they are royalty or not, if they don't like him or are not on his side, he won't give them a friendly look.
If you insist on inviting him to meet, then be prepared; he is definitely not the kind of person who would be trembling with fear and walking on thin ice.
"I consider myself to have a good eye; the Fiore royal family is worth befriending, at least that king isn't a fool."
Jude nodded, understanding Moen's meaning. He seemed to have quite a bit of confidence in the Fiore royal family, believing that they wouldn't displease Moen, or at least wouldn't cause him unnecessary unhappiness.
"Okay, I'll go to the capital in a couple of days."
Moen nodded, which was a gesture of respect for Jiude. He needed Jiude to do things properly, so he naturally had to give the guy some face.
The Fiore royal family and the Heartfilia family seem to have some connection, and out of respect for Jude, he won't make things awkward.
A few days later, in Crocus, the "City of Flowers".
Moen disembarked from the Raven glider and landed in front of a hotel.
The shop's sign features a bee with a skull, and the hotel is called Honeybone Hotel, which is quite interesting.
Moen wore a mask that completely covered his face. The mask was black and blue and had a metallic feel. It was one of the items he obtained from casual quests.
The Pope's mask: conceals his presence, making it impossible to discern his true identity.
It has to be said that among the pile of trendy junk items that you get as rewards for completing small tasks, this is actually a pretty useful prop.
It's not that other things aren't precious; items like Orichalcum, Gamma Nylon, and Silver Star Sand are also very valuable, but they're not useful for the time being.
This "Pope's Mask" is very useful to Moen now, since he is so famous that he is the center of attention wherever he goes, and this mask makes things much easier.
After checking into the Honeybone Hotel, Moen began to wander around Crocus, the City of Flowers.
This royal capital is very lively, and the city area is very large. It is more prosperous than Magnolia and even more prosperous than the "Rose City" of Serville. It is truly worthy of being called a royal capital.
To be honest, this was Moen's first time visiting the royal capital, Crocus.
There was nothing he could do; most of the missions Moen accepted involved hunting monsters in deep mountains and forests, and there were clearly no missions in the "City of a Hundred Flowers," Crocas, that met his requirements.
So it's normal that Moen hasn't been here. This capital city is still quite safe, and it shouldn't be the case that some magical beast will suddenly appear and attack him.
Moen continued on his way and arrived at the center of Crocas. The royal palace could be seen in the distance. It was the "Palace of Lights," Melukrias, which looked very stylish, like a castle, and quite majestic.
"Everyone likes to settle down in the city center."
Moen suddenly realized this. Whether it was the Phantom Lord in "Ogu Town" or "Fairy Tail" in Magnolia, the guild halls were all in the city center, and at least locally, they were of similar status to this "Hall of Lights" Melculias.
Moen arrived at the entrance of the "Hualeng Palace" and was stopped by the guards.
"Royal Palace, a heavily guarded area! Do not approach!"
The guards at the entrance of "Hualeng Palace" had already noticed Moen. Wearing a strange mask, he walked straight toward "Hualeng Palace" Melukrias. It would be strange if he didn't attract their attention.
Although this was only the outer city of the royal palace, and there was still some distance to the actual palace, the defenses were already very tight. Many guards surrounded him, all looking at Moen with vigilance.
Moen removed his mask, but before he could say anything, he heard a gasp from the palace guards in front of him.
"Mount Dole!"
"It's that Rose Goddess who defeated Joseph Pora twice!"
The guards gasped in surprise. Clearly, they had all heard of Moen's name, which was why he wore a mask. He had once again become the focus of attention because of his second victory over Joseph Pora, and of course, the explosive popularity of "Masayume Chasing" also played a part.
Laxus and Mirajane are both very popular now, but as someone who was involved in both, Moen is naturally more popular.
Furthermore, the buzz surrounding Mohn's previous "defeat of Joseph Paula" and "Sherlock Holmes" has not yet subsided. With all these events combined, he is definitely a figure of the year.
A few days ago, at Maestro M. Vltava's concert, he released a new song, "Fairy Tail Summer," which became a hit once again. Now, he is truly "known to everyone."
"I have been invited to visit you."
Moen smiled and stopped the guards from causing a disturbance. It was only because there weren't many people around who dared to come here casually, otherwise, a bunch of people would have surrounded him as soon as he took off his mask.
"Please come in, please come in! Mr. Moen, we were informed long ago, and we will immediately escort you into the inner palace upon your arrival!"
The commander guarding the gate spoke with a broad smile, while simultaneously directing his men to open the city gate. He had been waiting for Moen for several days; this gentleman had finally arrived, albeit belatedly.
Moen didn't speak, but just smiled. After the city gate was lowered, he followed the guard commander into the "Palace of Lights" in Melukrias.
The "Palace of Lights" in Melucrias looks very grand from the outside, and its interior is naturally very luxurious, which is obviously different from the routine meeting halls that are luxurious on the outside but simple on the inside.
However, comparing the royal palace of the Kingdom of Fiore with the meeting hall for routine meetings seems a bit unfair, since that meeting hall is just a place for holding meetings.
This palace, after all, is the face of the royal family. No matter what, the face must be decorated in a magnificent manner, otherwise it is easy to be looked down upon. This is understandable, as long as the palace was not built by plundering the people's hard-earned money.
"We've arrived, Mr. Moen. Please come in."
Before long, the guard commander brought Moen into the inner palace and handed him over to the guards on duty there.
"His Majesty's study is just ahead, Mr. Moen."
Inside the palace, the guards led Moen through a maze of twists and turns until they finally arrived at a study. The door to the study opened, revealing an old man and a young girl inside.
