It's been a long time
More than 20 years ago, King Simon was just a teenager. At that time, his father, the previous king, was still in power. In King Simon's impression, his father's outstanding diplomatic skills have always been the key factor in maintaining the operation of the country.
"I remember this incident, but I was still young at that time. Many things were handled by my father. Until now, I can't remember what the Sun King looked like." In Simon's impression, he only remembered that he was a very tall man.
But after all, I was only about ten years old at that time.
Everyone seems tall to him, even the guards who have been following him all year round seem very tall.
"Perhaps the previous king didn't mention this, but it certainly wasn't a significant matter at the time. I was among those who received the Sun King, and I clearly remember that it was then that I first heard of the Desert Golden Group. It was said to be a mercenary organization in the desert, and they were very powerful. However, in later conversations, the other party's real point was that the Golden Group had once caused them considerable harm."
Haruman looked at the people present.
Especially those ministers who sided with Prince Philip
This kind of thing can only be known by an old man like me, because it happened so long ago. Even the important officials today were just minor officials at that time.
"The Sun King didn't say much back then, but it was brought up many times at receptions. We speculated then that his family had been persecuted by the Golden Group. Twenty years ago, Jagun was just a country in the desert. But with its development over the years, any Adak merchant would tell you that Jagun has become a pearl in the desert."
"We can use the Golden Group as a starting point to send envoys to Jagun, hoping that the other party will send troops to help. Based on my understanding of the Sun King and his country, he should not send troops." Haruman expressed his thoughts.
After hearing this, the ministers did not dare to express their opinions immediately, mainly because they did not understand the country in the desert.
The Zambutal region is far away from the desert, and the communication between the two sides originally relied on those merchants. There are many things that are not well understood and there is no need to understand them.
Haruman stared at the minister who had just spoken, and he did not say anything either.
But King Simon asked back after hearing this.
"The Golden Group once posed a threat to the Sun King's kingdom"
"To be precise, he may have assassinated or injured the people closest to the Sun King," said Haruman.
The main reason why the Golden Group can run rampant in the desert is because that place needs them, so they must exist. Since many people need them, there will also be many people who resent them. Jagon was not very strong more than 20 years ago, but now he is no longer the same as before.
"This battle is equivalent to our revenge for the Sun King. If we use this as an excuse to get him to send troops to help, it should be no problem."
"Wait, Grand Duke Haruman"
At this time, the minister who had been silent finally spoke.
"They're just a mercenary group. Even if what you said is true, and the Sun King's relatives died at the hands of the Golden Group, why didn't he seek revenge? We can just use a single victory in the war to get the desert nation to send troops."
"You don't know the situation in the desert and the situation at that time." Haruman looked at the other party with contempt.
Many officials who sided with the prince were relatively young.
Thirty or forty years old
In my opinion, I am just a man who has just matured. I still have a long way to go before I can become a senior official who can stand on my own.
"I've only ever heard of nobles and wealthy businessmen being assassinated, but why hasn't anyone destroyed that assassin organization? And why does it persist? Young man, don't just look at the surface. The Adak people, despite their strong exterior, possess a strong sense of loyalty. Instead of trusting the Amansa people, we should look forward to the surprises Adak has to offer."
Every time when it comes to the key points, Haruman can use his rich experience to silence the other party.
I can only watch angrily
Although King Simon did not like the Grand Duke's point because he was one of the young people he was talking about, this opinion was indeed interesting.
I heard that the Sun King has become the Supreme King of the Desert. If they are willing to send troops, the Borg will definitely return quickly to defend against the desert elite soldiers, who are of high level and strong combat effectiveness. Even the Borg would not dare to neglect them.
"Does Duke Haruman find it credible?"
"I'm sure of it."
Got a positive answer.
"Then I'll arrange it right away."
There is no hesitation in the question of life and death
In a life-or-death situation, any chance is worth fighting for.
This is also one of the words my teacher taught me back then.
Haruman returned to his residence
Talissa could tell that Grandpa was in high spirits today; he was actually humming his favorite tune when he came in. The officials had always looked gloomy lately because of the war with the Borg, but today, something was different.
"What good thing happened, Grandpa?" Talisa asked as she stepped forward.
"There is indeed one happy thing."
Looking at his favorite granddaughter, Grand Duke Haruman recounted what happened in the hall today.
Even Thalyssra was startled.
That Baron Sean Weigel
No, now he's an earl.
Talisa still remembered the only time she saw him. He looked a bit honest and had always been following the witches of the Wings of the Covering Sky. She also heard that he was the one brought by the Red Dragon Witch.
Although he was a witness to an incident at the time and came to report, in Talissa's eyes, Sean was still considered a noble who wanted to seduce those beautiful witches.
If the other party's ancestors had not been one of the retainers of her own Haruman family, Talisa might not have had any communication with such a person.
I have seen many interesting nobles, many of whom are eloquent, handsome, or capable, but Sean Weigel is definitely not one of them.
“I didn’t expect he had such talent.”
"You didn't expect that, did you? Actually, I was also surprised when I heard it." Grand Duke Haruman said.
"Grandpa, should we call him over again?"
Think about it.
"I've considered this, but it's better not to do it for now. The King must be aware of his relationship with us, and his unclear relationship with the witch organization under Prince Philip is hard to fathom."
"By the way, Talisa, what is your impression of this guy?" he suddenly asked.
Talissa was visibly stunned.
Every time my grandfather asked me this question, I felt uneasy.
"I don't have much impression. At that time, I felt that he was a country bumpkin, and we didn't say anything."
"That's a good impression," Duke Haruman said with a smile.
"Well, let's first contact the Sun King."
While the imperial capital was planning for war, the situation in Oro City was relatively stable.
