Somewhere in Jagun Palace...

It was late at night and King Dansu and his family still had not rested.

The old king was still waiting for all his children to come back before he could sleep peacefully.

Soon, the last Sylvie finally came back. King Dansu and his family were arranged to stay in the guest palace of the royal palace, and the guards around them were all Dansu's own people. This was the only place where the family could speak freely.

"Sister, are you back?"

"Yeah. I'm back."

Sylvie looked at Heatherlink, it seemed that the two of them came back earlier.

After dinner, the three of them chatted with the three members of the Jagong royal family. Unexpectedly, the eldest prince, Sean, left without a word. There was no choice but to follow him.

"You're back, Sylvie."

"Well, father. You haven't rested yet." Sylvie bowed and greeted her father.

"Now that you are all back, tell me what you think of Jagun and what we should do next?" King Dansu asked his three children for their opinions.

Small countries do not have many think tanks. Occasionally, one or two officials around them are enough to manage the city, and most of the time, the people who can give them advice are their own children.

Living in such an environment, the royal descendants study very hard, and their overall abilities are stronger than those of the princes of big countries!

"I want to hear your opinions. Now we have almost no bargaining chips left. The only way is to submit to Jagun." King Dansu said helplessly.

It's really too miserable.

After the Golden Group looted Dansu, the entire city was devastated. The palace was protected by a group of guards, otherwise the people would probably rush in to steal things.

Besides, there isn't much left in the palace...

"We are too weak in front of a big empire like Jagun. We don't have much bargaining chips in negotiations." said Prince Vincent standing on the other side.

There's nothing we can do.

Ask for money,

Jagong is richer and can even easily buy the entire Dansu.

But why should they pay for it? As they said before, wouldn't it be better to keep the money and develop their own port?

As for population or location, these have no appeal to the other party, only allegiance seems to be of some use.

If you don't submit, you can only wait for my demise. It will be even more troublesome for Jagong to clean up the mess... But think about it from another perspective, won't your family be left without a home?

There is not even a country anymore.

"That's why I'm asking you. I can see that you were close to the two princes and princess of Jagun today because you wanted them to help us."

King Dansu suddenly looked at his daughter Heatherlink.

"How about Prince Mudan? I see he has a good impression of you."

"Prince Mudan is easier to talk to, but... I don't know if he can help us." Heatherlink said after hesitating.

She could see that Prince Mudan was interested in her, but as a prince he had seen all kinds of girls, so perhaps he just found them fresh and interesting.

"Princess Seria has a lot to say and think. She even asked me privately how bad the situation in Dansu was, but I didn't answer truthfully," said Vincent.

"Princess Seriya!"

King Dansu thought about it.

"I've heard that Princess Seria is quite similar to Queen Jagun, decisive and thoughtful. If we can get her support, things will be much easier."

"Yes, Father. I will have more contact with her in the future."

"What about Prince Sean?" Everyone looked at Sylvie.

During this visit to the Temple of the Sun, Prince Mudan and Princess Seriya talked about many things and asked many questions.

But only Prince Sean doesn't talk much.

You say he doesn't do anything, but he has the most legends...

He was once a noble of the Bashalan Empire, and in a short period of time after coming out of the mountains, he rose from a baron to an earl, and defeated the once invincible members of the Golden Group in the war.

These achievements alone are enough to make him stand out among all the princes, but when you actually see him, he seems very low-key.

"I'm a little confused."

"Why can't you tell?" Several people looked at Sylvie.

"I just came back from Prince Sean's bedroom. He actually made two large sand tables in his bedroom study, one of Jagun Capital and the other of Adak area. He seemed to be reading a book." Sylvie recounted what she saw at that time.

"Although this prince has just returned from outside, he has received a lot of attention... I heard that the city of Oro, which he once ruled, is now being developed by Jagun. This prince may achieve great things in the future." King Dansu said.

"All we can do now is wait for Jagun's response. I will use all my connections to intercede for me. You should also interact more with those princes and princesses... As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up our country."

"Yes, father."

This is the problem facing King Dansu and his family.

Either you linger on and wait for destruction, or you fight for even a slight chance to stand up.

………………

There was no meeting between the emperor and his ministers the next morning, so Sean stayed alone in the study to continue his work.

Right now, he needs someone to connect Claude and himself, and he must be a trustworthy person.

As for Melsusa, as the commander-in-chief, it is impossible for her to have time to help him deliver messages every day, so Sean asked her to help find a reliable person.

On the other hand, let’s see how long it will take for Banir and his men to reach the capital of Jagun.

If they were supposed to have set off with Claude, they would already be two days late!!

They are really good at grinding. I really don’t know how they got through when they were mercenaries. No wonder Yorkie Weijie wanted to quit.

"Illya, can you find some reliable people to help me deliver the letter outside?" Sean asked the person who was wiping the table in front of him in the study.

"Outside? Your Highness, do you want me to see you out?"

"Of course you can go out... but if it's too far, you probably won't be able to walk, and you're not familiar with the road, right?"

Although Illya is from Adak, she is not from Jagun... and is not familiar with the area here.

"Let me think about it. I do have a candidate. Your Highness, you can let me take one to try first. If he is not reliable, I can change him." Illya said.

"Hey, you've only been here for a few days, and you've already seduced some ignorant young man? Tsk tsk~ Tell me, who was seriously injured this time?" Sean asked jokingly, suddenly remembering what the other party said yesterday.

"If Your Highness says so, then You are the most unreliable... Do you know how many people have asked me about your daily routine in the past month since you came back... It's a lot!" Illya retorted.
