Meanwhile, your journey continues along the streets of Axeman-City.

The abundance of new impressions and the crowdedness of this settlement distracted your attention...

You and most of the Williams family followed the crowded streets.

Of course, the population of this city is only about 10,000 people, but you are used to seeing much smaller settlements in this world.

Edward Williams III clearly knew where to go...

The journey took about half an hour.

What did you see?

A vast port quarter...

The noise of markets...

The cries of drunks near taverns...

Prostitutes walk along the streets near brothels...

Then - a path along the streets into the city...

A large number of buildings in this city (especially on the outskirts) are slums built from materials found in the ruins and from wood obtained from the river coastal thickets.

Most of the locals live in such primitive houses.

The streets are full of people who look clearly poor.

However, the ruling elite of the city lives in much more beautiful and secure houses. These buildings are located in separate guarded quarters of the city.

These quarters are located closer to the center of the city. Looking in that direction, you see a towering huge statue...

A familiar silhouette...

A statue of a man with a lumberjack axe...

Realization quickly arises in your mind.

This is a statue of Abraham Lincoln!

Your gaze and facial expression are noticed by Elijah, who mockingly says: “You got it right… The name of this city arose because of this huge statue left over from ancient times. There was a large museum complex here… However, over the hundreds of years, the locals forgot who Abraham Lincoln was. The outskirts of Axeman-City are slums. Slaves can be bought or sold in the markets… Ha! Ha! So ironic! The local inhabitants believe that Abraham Lincoln was just some ancient warrior hero with a big axe!”

You listen to his explanation and continue walking.

As you walked, you remembered recent events…

Francis Williams decided to stay in Port-Williams, despite the new form of government. It is not difficult to guess that he is going to live openly with the woman he loves.

Martina...

She was just a servant... And earlier Francis was **** to hide his passion from his father - after all, Edward Williams III had very specific dynastic plans regarding the marriage of his youngest son.

However, now the circumstances have changed dramatically. The form of government in Port-Williams has become completely different. And now Francis Williams can live the life of an ordinary citizen of this town. This life will be devoid of luxury and this life will require him to exert himself and overcome difficulties. But you saw from the expression on his face that he is ready to do anything for his love.

Francis was even ready to have a serious quarrel with his father. Edward Williams was never able to understand and accept his son's motive. Edward, being angry because of recent events, had a big fight with his son, being outraged by his refusal to follow the rest of the family to Axeman-City.

You witnessed these conversations, filled with mutual accusations and insults...

One way or another, almost all of the Williams family left the town, which was named by their ancestor.

You followed them.

Looking around the streets and houses of Axeman-City, you remember something else...

After passionate sex, Princess Sapphire told you that the Sullivan family has some secret ties with the Orange Kingdom. The head of this family, Patrick Sullivan, secretly adheres to monarchical beliefs and even has a religious commitment to the religion that dominates the Orange Kingdom. At the same time, the Sullivan family is one of the families that delegates representatives to the collegial governing body of Axeman-City - the Circle of Five (the captain of the steamboat "Diamond" told you about this).

Therefore, the risky undertaking to strengthen the Orange Kingdom through a dynastic marriage and take control of Port-Williams may pursue the goal of seizing power in Axeman-City. If the Sullivans have strong allies, then it is quite possible to put pressure on the Circle of Five...

And it is quite logical that this whole undertaking had to be carried out in secrecy...

Otherwise, representatives of the other four families that rule Axeman-City will learn about the threat to their power. And they will take countermeasures. Judging by the information that you found in the encrypted messages hidden in the room of the deceased butler Richard Marley - it was not possible to observe secrecy measures. Someone learned in advance about the preparation of the dynastic marriage and the whims of Princess Sapphire...

And this someone took measures.

The raiders' attack on Port-Williams was repelled.

However, the expectation of a dynastic marriage was destroyed by the subsequent uprising of the town's inhabitants and the establishment of a republican form of government.

Consequently, the ambitious "Habsburg" plans of the monarchical elite of the Orange Kingdom have not yet been realized even to a small extent.

When the news of the "plebs" rebellion that has taken place reaches the Orange Kingdom, the most unpredictable negative consequences are possible...

The news of the collapse of the plans for the dynastic takeover of an important strategic port town...

This may cause fury among the crowned heads...

However, you are worried about something else: when you arrive in Axeman-City, you may encounter a manifestation of discontent among the representatives of the other four families ruling the city.

The Sullivans were actually preparing a secret violation of the status quo. They were clearly helping the Orange Kingdom (an external competitor of Axeman-City).

And so you arrived at the harbor of this local "center of civilization" together with the Williams family, which was drawn into all these dangerous intrigues.

It seems that many unpleasant "surprises" await you...

So, soon, you reach your destination.

The Sullivan family estate was surrounded by a whole complex of buildings...

Trade warehouses, soldiers' barracks, servants' houses, walls, towers with armed guards...

The central building of the estate (a large three-story building with majestic marble columns) was located on a hill.

A white banner with a symbol in the form of a black snake, which has the shape of the letter "S", flies above this impressive building.

There are many guards here...

Armed guards, despite the demands of Edward Williams III for an immediate audience with the head of the Sullivan family, take you, the ghoul and Williams family to a separate two-story "guest house".

The guards say that it is quite possible that you will have to wait a couple of days for an audience.

You and your companions are **** to stay in the rooms of the guest house.

All the rooms in this house are single.

Once you've finished settling into your single room, you realize that you really need more specific information about the local rules and circumstances.

"I should try to ask Elijah about the details of the political structure of Axeman-City..." - you think.

You want to open the door and go to the ghoul's room to ask him about the questions you are interested in.

However, you come face to face with Brittany.

She looks confused...

"Dad is very angry about what happened... He can't think of anything else and he constantly swears... I feel so bad - I want to be near you, Anton..." - her trembling quiet voice clearly shows that her mental state is under pressure due to the current circumstances.

You are **** to return to your room with her...

You sit down on the bed.

Brittany sits down next to you, pressing her soft and warm flesh tightly against your chest.

"Brittany, I understand your condition, but..." - you begin to say.

However, she simply ignores your words.

A graceful movement of an elegant female hand...

Her fingers, pulling the belt of your pants, touch your cock.

Female hands pull down the fabric of your pants.

The face of a young and beautiful girl bends down to your groin...

And she begins to lick the sensitive head of your dick!
