There was definitely something strange about the people in this inn. At least in Sean's opinion, they were of high rank and shouldn't be just ordinary clerks or servants who were at someone's beck and call...
King Simon couldn't have been unaware of the presence of so many high-ranking people at the foot of the palace.
It seems that those rumors may not be false. This female boss may really be the mistress of a high-ranking official or a nobleman.
In their thirties and forties...
After thinking about it, there are actually quite a lot of people who fit the description.
Although Sean had never met many nobles and high-ranking officials, generally speaking, those who could reach that level of position were quite old. On the contrary, people like him who were lucky enough to get a high position at a young age. Therefore, in various meetings, he would listen humbly first, and try not to speak unless his name was called.
After all, he was already considered an outlier in the eyes of everyone, and now that he came here with his military achievements, it would definitely make many people feel unhappy!
There are many nobles who meet the age requirements, so it would be difficult to find one. Moreover, he is not from the imperial capital, and his subordinate Ascalante has no power here at all. Frelia is just a high-level witch in the imperial capital.
Even the owner of an inn and the handyman have abilities close to level 12, so what would the king's guards be like?
Until today, the highest-ranking person Sean had ever met was Frelia, and now an innkeeper was almost as strong as her. The other wizards were probably not too weak either, especially those in the palace...
Since there was no way to find the answer, Sean had no choice but to continue to follow the other southern lords and pretend to be normal.
Greet people with a smile every day, then read a book or enjoy the hotel's environment and services at night...
After two days of waiting in the Haidi Inn, some people finally began to get impatient and shouted that if the king didn't summon them, they would really bring people to stand at the palace gate... The southern part of the empire is now the most stable place for Bashalan's development. If the king doesn't believe in the identities of the 13 lords in the south, he will really not summon them.
"Don't be so hasty about this matter. If you really do this, there will be no room for recovery..."
"If we don't do this, how long will we have to endure this? Don't forget the purpose of our trip, it's not to enjoy life."
Two days of waiting had already made these lords anxious. Perhaps they had never been so begging since they became local lords.
If this continues, even Marquis Spinola won't give me face...
We had a big argument that day and almost parted on bad terms.
In the past, we would occasionally exchange a few polite words, but now... we don’t even bother nodding and saying hello when we meet.
Issues concerning the survival of various cities cannot be solved by simply giving a few favors. Now even Sean has begun to consider what to do next if King Simon does not agree, although he has always felt that King Simon intends to let the southern lords gather in the imperial capital.
But now people have come, but we haven’t seen the next move yet.
The deadline for payment is approaching, and most lords are worried about raising the money...
Sean was thinking about whether he should write a letter to contact Oro City, but the imperial capital was too far away from the border, and it might take half a month to go back and forth. Regardless of whether the southern lords' alliance was successful or not, it would not take such a long time.
In the hall,
Sean had just walked out of the noisy lords' meeting when someone suddenly called him.
"Count Weigel."
Looking back, isn’t that the female store manager?
"Manager Helyala, you are here too." He looked at the other person with a smile.
Today she was still wearing the same crimson outfit, which was very similar to Frelia's preference for bright colors, except that this female boss was much older and her style of dress was bolder.
"I just heard another quarrel inside. It seems that the quarrel is quite intense today."
Seeing the other person's expression of "Probing!" and "Curiosity!", Sean could only laugh inwardly.
It seems that I showed off my skills a little that day and left a deep impression on the other party. There was no one in the corridor at night these two days, but this high-level female boss kept paying attention to me.
"Yes, although it's only been two days. But we can't wait any longer. If King Simon still refuses to see us... then we will probably gather at the gate of the palace." Sean looked at Helyara, trying to find out something fishy from the other party's changing state.
But he seems not interested.
Status has not changed...
"Is it that serious? Didn't I hear Marquis Spinola say he wanted to ask the Grand Duke to intervene?"
"You know this too?" Sean looked at the other person.
The meeting two days ago was clearly a closed-door meeting, but I didn’t expect that the female boss still found out.
"I have a good relationship with Marquis Spinola..." the other party said with a charming smile.
"By the way, has Earl Weigel ever been to the Imperial Capital before?"
"No."
Sean didn't know why the other party asked this, was it simply to change the subject?
"Indeed, if Count Weigel had been here before, he would have stayed at our Haidiel Hotel."
The question left Sean feeling somewhat bewildered, and the state above his head instantly changed to [Thinking!] and [Remembering!]...
"If Manager Helyala has nothing else to say, I'll go back to my room."
"Count Weigel, please!"
The people in this hotel are really strange. Almost everyone has extraordinary abilities. The lowest one he has seen is a level 8 Orderer. The people Sean has seen in recent days are all of very high levels, but they just like to live as ordinary people.
But right now, I can't delve into these issues...
On the third day, good news finally came.
Duke Haruman finally responded, and on the third night, he urgently summoned all 13 southern lords to discuss countermeasures behind closed doors...
The general meaning is that King Simon actually already knows everyone's demands, but Jagun is unwilling to give in because they lost a lot of soldiers in this battle. Now the Borg have been driven back to the northern region by the joint forces of the two countries, and there is only a little bit of lost territory to be recovered.
At that time, the war will be officially over, and even compensation can be demanded from the Kets or Borgs.
But right now...
The allies seemed to be arguing over this part of the money.
The Grand Duke also emphasized that King Simon did not want everyone to pay, but there was nothing he could do...others just wanted so much!
"We can't possibly give it all. Even though the Sun King's army helped us, asking for so much money is still like suppressing us, isn't it?"
"yes!"
Some of the lords said dissatisfiedly.
"That's why the king specially summoned you this time, and also called the commanders of the allied forces, hoping that we can talk to them face to face and explain things clearly." Duke Haruman said.
This means that King Simon agreed to summon everyone!
