"By the way, Patricia, do you know what is called Secret Name?"
As he headed to the carriage at the castle, Ronald looked at the street scene passing backwards on the road and suddenly remembered what he heard from Luna last night.
Although Patricia does not have the airs of being a nobleman, her identity is there.
With such an identity, she may know something.
Unfortunately, Ronald's guess made some mistakes. When Patricia heard this word, she reacted almost the same as his first time, and she looked puzzled:
"Secret name?"
"What is that, is the code name used by a certain organization?"
"I don't know." Ronald also helplessly spread his hands. "I heard this statement I heard here because I didn't know the specific situation, so I wanted to ask you."
Patricia: "Sorry, I know nothing about it, either."
"..."
When the dialogue came here, Ronald actually gave up his plan to delve into the 'secret name'. Anyway, this thing will not have any impact. He does not need to continue to worry about it.
But in just a few seconds, the coachman driving the carriage in front turned around and talked to the two.
"Sir, the secret name you mentioned is the customs here."
"If you don't mind my low status, I can tell you what it means."
Most of the taxi carriages on the streets of Nickland are convertible cars.
In addition, the speed on the street was not fast, so the coachman easily heard the conversation between Ronald and Patricia in front.
In normal times, the coachman probably had already started chatting with these two passengers.
However, he knew that the two passengers were planning to go to the king's castle this time, so he acted so restrained when he opened his mouth.
Of course, Ronald would not be a person who cares about his identity, so he immediately asked the coachman for advice.
In this way, the carriage heading towards the castle began to tell.
"Sir, the secret name is the tradition around [Nicos]. We usually have at least two names: one is the name that is called externally; the other is that only the immediate family and I know it, and only tell people who are very close.
The name is called the secret name.”
A very close person...
Ronald's mind thought of a lot of things for a moment, but he quickly put aside these messy thoughts, and then continued to ask what the secret name itself was involved:
"You just said that people here usually have at least two names?"
"That's right." The driver nodded, and then explained, "In addition to the names and secret names, there are the names given by the church, and the secret name given by the godfather, or the name of the boss."
"We [Nicos] here, but some people who have experienced it actually have a lot of names. It's like me. When I am a driver, I usually use the name of the tin."
"..."
The coachman clearly spoke with a tone of pride.
The locals look very satisfied with this multi-name custom and don't care much about the troubles that may be caused.
And other than that.
Ronald confirmed something.
The Countess who met in Springs only used her name [Leticia] to the outside world, and you can see a lot of things from it.
Another time passed, and the carriage came to the king's castle here.
After paying the coachman more rewards as thanks.
Ronald looked up at the building in front of him and soon saw some different things.
First of all, the purpose of this castle was definitely not for royal life at the beginning, because it also includes functional areas such as docks, underground prisons, and ordinary residential areas.
If you have to make a judgment.
Gu Yun
This place is more like a fortress that can deal with war, unlike the palace-shaped building that Ronald once witnessed.
And keep your eyes around.
If you are careful, you will find that there is a big gap in the wear and tear level between the castle edge and the city's buildings - castles were obviously much earlier than the city, and may even take more than a hundred years.
With these two information, the past of this 'Royal City' emerged before Ronald's eyes.
As early as Nickland, or the Nicos Empire had not yet appeared.
The ruler's original ancestors should have occupied the castle, and then gradually developed the country's scale and outer city area.
"Ronard, what are you looking at?"
"It's time for us to go in."
Just as Ronald was thinking about these things, Patricia called back Ronald's meaning from the front.
So he smiled at the swordsman girl, and Ronald followed him.
The process of entering the castle was very smooth.
Due to the perfection of its inner architecture, the Nicos Royal Family actually invited all the guests of Greed to stay here, and Patricia met here yesterday and today.
Basically, after just a few simple questions, she and Ronald successfully walked into the castle.
When you pass through the gate, the first thing you see is a square transformed by a market. At this moment, you can see the knights belonging to the royal family training here, and there are servants carrying supplies around you.
Looking around the square, the once-in-a-lifetime building was simply transformed and became the residence of castle servants and guards.
And although many people are working to entertain guests.
But some daily activities in the castle did not change because of the arrival of Greed's guests.
Walking through the square and continuing backwards, the building here is more luxurious than the location where you come in.
Among them, you can also see the decoration styles with obvious differences in styles.
It was here that Patricia stopped and then explained to Ronald with a smile:
"Ronard, this is the accommodation area for Nicos to entertain foreign guests."
"I said, live with His Highness in the red room on the left. We also keep your place early, and we will share with Costa...."
"Sir, you are finally here!"
Suddenly, Patricia's introduction was interrupted.
Just in the direction pointed by the swordsman girl, Ronald's maid rushed out of the room, and then came to Ronald without saying a word to bow.
Ronald looked farther.
It can be seen that the several knights on Nicos' side are very nervous.
They knew that this was a distinguished guest of Grade and that they also knew the strong strength of these guests, so they could not treat them easily in every situation.
"..."
"Costadt, I'm here."
Ronald nodded apologetically to the knight, then smiled and greeted the maid.
However, he never expected it.
After just a greeting, Costadt gave himself some harsh information.
After saying hello, the maid knelt on the ground with one leg, and then reported in a nervous tone:
"Costrt ... Costat made some decisions for you yesterday."
