Almost from the very beginning, Sean didn't think that the other party was a girl who knew nothing.

The girls who could walk out of those hotels full of lights and wine might have met more people than herself. Although there might not be any real big shots appearing, they probably knew more about the world than herself.

If they are just treated as subordinates, these girls are more reliable in doing things. A few simple small nobles cannot fool these girls at all, and they also know how to make choices better.

As for ambition, looking at the whole world, women's ambition is suppressed by men to a certain extent... If the time, place and people are not all right, they will not take the risk.

More importantly, the palace maid can move around easily in the palace and is the most suitable candidate.

"Then...what does Your Highness need me to do?" Illya asked, still massaging her hands, but slowly moving them from her head to her shoulders.

"You don't have to do anything now. You just arrived, so it would be good for you to get to know more palace maids and eunuchs." Sean didn't say it explicitly, but with the other party's intelligence, it should not be difficult for him to understand what he meant.

I was lucky. When I was confirming the deal with the businessman, I just chose the person based on my first impression.

I didn't expect that Illya is a girl with a lot of ideas. This way, I can give her a lot more work.

"I understand, Your Highness," Illya replied.

"Well, that's it for now."

His body slowly sank into the bathtub. At present, only a few cousins ​​in the Jagong Palace were unhappy with his arrival, but at that time, his arrival might have affected their interests.

Their favorability is currently maintained at [Neutral]. It is estimated that their favorability is unlikely to drop too much during the reign of the Sun King. Moreover, considering their age, it is impossible for them to issue an order to exterminate the Weiger family a year or two ago.

So who was the person who came to the town to assassinate Baron Weiger?

We have to find this person!

As for the other side, Sean really wants to form a Survey Corps to search for the whereabouts of the Necronomicon and the Cain Slate in various regions. Now, in his opinion, the world is full of things of the ancient gods' believers. There is one next to Emperor Borg, but it's too far away.

You don't have any troops to attack that place directly, and you don't have an excuse. You can't announce to the world that Emperor Borg is a believer in an evil god, so you have to attack him.

But the Borg still don't want to!

On the other hand, after the Tacoma incident, those believers in the ancient gods seemed to have hidden themselves away all of a sudden. Every time they caught a little bit of information and wanted to pursue it, various things would stop them.

There have been strange sculptures and bizarre incidents reported by Adak merchants, and so on. Since the border war in Oro City, no similar news has been heard. I wonder how the people sent out to investigate are doing now... There should be some gains, otherwise the huge amount of funds allocated to them every year will be wasted.

Sean thought about it and felt that the first thing to do was to officially designate the Oro region as Jagun's land.

In this way, the people there could theoretically become troops under the Sun King's command... He needed to mobilize his former subordinates, especially those in the Barnil mercenary team, and make good use of them.

It is easy to find capable people, but it is very difficult to find loyal people.

It's a shame to leave them alone...

After taking a bath, Sean changed into the formal attire of a prince, which was wrapped with golden tassels, a cloak woven with the densest gold thread, and a tall hat.

Although it does not have the gentlemanly demeanor of the Basaran Empire, it now looks a bit like a wealthy man.

Indeed, a fortune...

………………

At dinner, the Sun King required all family members to be present and did not arrange for any other officials or nobles to participate.

It was simply the royal family chatting about family matters... and more importantly, they asked about his life over the years. Especially when talking about life in the small town of Thelmian, Sean looked at the people in front of him.

Talking about the life during those years, how his father died of illness and he inherited the title, and then walked step by step to the present, etc., there is nothing wrong with seeing people's reactions.

It seems that the murderer was not someone present.

After eating and playing, the Sun King specially asked Sean to stay and talk about his views on the Adak region and the country of Jagun.

Since Sean had only just arrived here, even counting the desert itself, he'd only been there for half a month, so he didn't have many impressions. He'd only noticed that it was hotter than other places, with no winters... The desert occupied almost half of the area.

I guess everyone who just entered the Adak region should have this idea! The Sun King just smiled and didn't comment much on this statement. Instead, he let Sean feel the charm of this land after a few days.

Because it was late at that time, and they had to go to the temple to worship before sunrise every morning, the two of them left without talking for a few words.

But Reila kept pestering me to tell her some stories about her time in the Basaran Empire...

In the end, I had no choice but to tell her a few witch stories that I often heard Luke tell when we were in the small town, and then sent Reila back to sleep.

After a whole day, I feel very tired even though I haven't done anything.

At night, when Illya makes tea for herself, she adds some sour dates, which are unique to the Adak region, as a fruit to help digestion.

"Your Highness looks tired?"

"A little bit... When I was a local earl, I had to deal with a lot of things every day. Although I was tired, now I feel inexplicably tired even though I haven't done anything." Sean said.

In the current palace, the only maid who can talk to him is Illya, and the other maids or servants don't dare to talk to him for long.

"Your Highness is probably not used to the life here yet. After returning from the Sun God ceremony tomorrow, Your Highness will officially become the prince of Jagun. There will definitely be a lot to do in the future." Illya actually knew more about this than herself.

"What exactly is this Sun God you often talk about?"

Sean was also curious about this.

Melsusa had already heard the legend, but she didn't quite understand why the people in this area had such a high respect for the sun.

"The Sun God is the deity we Adak people revere most. Legend has it that it was the Sun God who brought down the fire of life that brought life to the entire earth."

"Wait... I've heard this story before. Is there any difference?" Sean said before the other party could splash water.

"Then Your Highness can go to the temple yourself tomorrow to ask. There are many priests there, and there are various ancient murals and records." Illya said.
