Chapter 319: Elen and Elena's Situation
Elena and Elen had already left the port of this seaside town in the Kingdom of the Waves heading to a nearby hotel when the group of Allen family spies arrived from Stone Island.
They had traveled for days by boat as they crossed the north sea of Stone Island to this seaside town in the northwest of the Kingdom of the Waves.
The path had been pretty smooth most of the time. The only problem that accompanied Elen's group was that spies.
But for that matter, the two young women didn't have much to do. Amid a sea voyage, neither they nor the group sent by the Allen family could not increase or decrease the distance from one another much.
Despite having the best-developed marine industry in this northern part of the Central Continent, the difference between the boats on both sides was not great. Consequently, Minos' two business partners couldn't avoid being chased all the way here.
Finally, arriving in this city, the two intended to rest for a day or two and then head towards the capital of the kingdom, where they could do some business.
They knew it would be difficult to catch the Allen family spies off guard once she arrived in this state, so Elen intended to act normally.
Elen would conduct business and attend to certain appointments that she would typically schedule when she visited this realm to create an appearance that would fool the group of spies.
Only then would the two go to the Black Plain!
Anyway, in addition to these two young women that Minos already knew, two men accompanied them, their bodyguards.
One of them was someone Minos didn't know, Elena's bodyguard. He was a man who appeared to be in early middle age, with a body not very strong and with very tanned skin.
Other than that, this man had slightly ash-blond hair, being already at level 48.
As for the other bodyguard, this was the person who had always accompanied Elen on trips, Eduard. This tall, muscular man, in the meantime, with Elen's help, had already reached level 49 and could soon reach level 50!
That was essential preparation for the future of his territory, so Minos made no effort to resolve this, even if he had to pay almost 10% of the amounts in the exchange rate...
Anyway, while the group traveled through that seaside city in a hired carriage, Elen and Elena had been talking while their faces were a little tired at the time. After all, even if the Nash family's boats were pretty good and these women could ignore most senses with their cultivation, sleeping on a ship wasn't ideal!
"What are we going to do now, Elen? I think those people will soon be close to us again." Elena said at the same time as she watched the busy streets of the city.
Hearing this, Elen sighed for a moment and answered her friend's question. "Let's rest for today. It won't be good for our plans if we try to travel right away, as if we were in a hurry."
"The enemy group is in the radius of our tracks, so we'll act for a while until things calm down."
"Where do you want to start? We have several businesses in the Kingdom of the Waves..."
Elen then nodded and continued talking. "We are going to do some business in the capital, and we can already take the opportunity to know what is happening in this kingdom. That information about the selection of the crown prince over the next two years was very sudden. So, we have to see this."
And in addition to being something strange to Elen, this choice of the future king of the Kingdom of the Waves advanced was very relevant to her. Or rather, it was essential for any power involved in regional matters.
When a new king ascended the throne, various relationships could change, damaging some sides and favoring other new factions.
There was a whole competition in which the competing princes would compete for the title of the heir. At the same time, families and big powers could place their bets.
Supporting a prince who would become the future king of a state had always been a big deal, with tremendous potential for these organizations.
And not only the powers within that realm entered into this dispute but also some organizations from elsewhere in the northern part of the Central Continent. After all, the royal families were basically the regulators of regionally-run businesses, so they had tremendous suppressive power.
Thus, powers such as the Nash family had to keep an eye out for every change in the region's kingdoms to preserve their business and geopolitical position. Not to mention that the Kingdom of the Waves was simultaneously the richest and largest in the entire region.
Due to all this, Elen could not stop thinking about this subject and take the opportunity to be in this realm, to know a little more about it.
"If all goes well, we'll stay in the kingdom's capital for about ten days. Then we should have our chance to go to Minos' territory." Elen commented in a low voice, beside her friend Elena in that carriage.
