"Does he live in that house?" Sean looked at the distance.

Very quiet.

Compared to other places in the fishing village, it is quiet...

"Yes, that old general seemed to be the pride of the Dansu Kingdom decades ago. He had won many wars and even defeated many pirates and invaders!" Jim told the stories he heard among the people.

Dansu was originally a port city, and a city is a country.

Although such places are rich, their ability to protect themselves is very weak. If no one invades, it's fine, but once someone attacks, they have almost no ability to resist.

However, this General Cumberland was able to lead Dansu's sparse army and rely on various tactics to resist the enemy's attacks, and even won many consecutive victories. Such a person is almost a national idol in the country. His prestige was second only to King Dansu. Even if the other party was not a royal family, his prestige might not be as high as his.

But because of his high prestige, Cumberland was exiled outside the city after the year.

Although many people felt sorry for him, he publicly admitted that he wanted to live in the fishing village because the quiet would not be disturbed.

"Of course no one believed this, but it was only for a while. After a few years, Cumberland was far away from the political center and there were fewer such injustices," Jim explained to Sean.

"That means the city is wealthy."

"It was because of prosperity, and it was very prosperous at that time, that people stopped paying attention to General Cumberland."

In the short time they had known each other, Sean actually admired the boy in front of him.

From the day he took power, Sean understood the value of this kind of talent. The other party has a good ability to see things at a young age, and with a few years of training, he can be of great use.

I silently memorized the other person's name in my heart, perhaps I could entrust him with important tasks in the future.

"Then what do you want to say by bringing us here?" At this time, Frelia on the side also began to ask.

The three did not go directly into the fishing village, but walked towards the so-called General Cumberland's mansion...

It is a nice place for a village. Cherry tomatoes and some date palm trees are planted in a small yard. You can hear the calls of some livestock inside. It seems that there are also many chickens and ducks raised there.

There happened to be a worker watering the plants at the door. When he saw someone coming, he hurried forward to ask.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Sean always dresses luxuriously, Frelia is more casual, and Jim is dressed like an ordinary citizen.

"We are merchants from the sea. We passed by this fishing village and saw this house, so we came to take a look."

Sean didn't speak immediately, but Jim came forward to greet him.

As the two were talking, Sean noticed the servant's expressions of "doubt!" and "tension!" appearing above his head.

It's normal to feel doubtful, after all, he's a stranger.

But I can't explain why I'm nervous...

"I'm sorry, this is a private residence. If you have any business, you can go directly to the fishing village in front. That's where the fishermen do business. Our master doesn't like to be disturbed." The servant refused immediately.

"We just think this house is beautiful and don't want to disturb it. I wonder who lives here?"

"The master has been retired for many years and has never wanted to be disturbed. If you want to know, just ask any villager and they will know. That's it!" The servant started to drive people away after only saying a few words.

It's too weird.

Especially when the other party walked to the door of the house, he looked over here cautiously.

Seeing that the person had not left, I simply went in and closed the door!

"Your Highness, this is what's weird about this place."

Even the dumbest person would know there was something wrong after seeing this scene.

"Has it always been like this?" Sean asked.

"In fact, it's been many years. I asked the people in the fishing village, and they haven't seen General Cumberland in about three or four years. Many people said he had a stroke and his head was dizzy. Now he can't remember clearly, so he can't go out."

This explanation seems to make sense.

If you have Alzheimer's disease, of course you won't go out and you will need someone to take care of you.

"Do you get medicine on weekdays?"

"Yes, the royal family still sends him some supplements almost every day, as well as gold, high-quality fabrics, daily necessities, and so on."

"Then what do you think is suspicious?" Sean asked again.

Jim thought about it, and then spoke after the three of them walked out a little.

"I've checked the items given by the Dansu Palace over the years. Nothing is missing, everything is normal, and those things were indeed delivered to this house... but there is one difference."

"Where?"

"There's nothing wrong with the trees in their home. If it were a tonic, whether he ate it or made some medicine from it, whatever was left, whether it was poured somewhere or excreted somewhere, it would cause acidification of the vegetation in the yard, but these plants are still growing very well."

A tiny detail may be difficult for anyone to notice if the other person doesn't say it.

Sean looked at the yard and saw a toilet!

It just so happens that not far from the door is the plant field in the yard.

Using one's own septic tank as one's own vegetable garden is common in many places, and only wealthy families can enjoy such treatment.

"So I conclude that General Cumberland never ate these herbs, but King Dansu would still send them to see him every once in a while. From the chart Your Highness gave me, we can see that King Dansu came here more frequently during that period."

The so-called period of time was when Sean encountered the shipwreck.

Everyone in Jagun knew that if the first prince died in a shipwreck, it would be a huge loss to the country. Even the wind direction in the palace would change. People who were frequently active at this time were somewhat worrying.

"I see, you observed very carefully!" Sean said to the boy.

For many people... no, for the people of this country, being praised by His Royal Highness the Prince is enough to brag about for a lifetime.

Jim nodded with an ecstatic smirk.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I am only doing what I should do."

"You will be responsible for investigating this matter... If there are any problems, have your intelligence network report to me immediately."

"clear!"

The boy stood up straight immediately.

An old general who never leaves his house, and a king who keeps sending fake medicine, there must be a lot of tricks involved...

Before leaving, Sean took another look at the small house.

"Sean, what do you think is the reason?" After leaving, Frelia still asked Sean for his opinion.

"The only thing that can make a king condescend is the country's affairs. Dansu exists in name only, and his only wish may be to regain control... What I am worried about now is that someone is trying to harm our country."
