"What does the sheriff mean by this?" Before Arthur Lubin could explain, Mel Susa interrupted.
"That's literally what it means!"
He looked at everyone again, although he couldn't tell who the real prince was.
But Sean could tell that the other person must be one of the people present, otherwise that "confidence!" and "sincerity!" attitude would be inexplicable.
Melsusa and Ben Tari are the real commanders in the army. Although Sean did not have the opportunity to meet Latula, the former Grand Marshal of the Bashalan Empire, judging from the level of the court wizards of the Bashalan Empire, even the Grand Marshal would not be too high.
Melsusa and Ben Tari are already people of very high rank...
If you think about it carefully, you should know who can protect them at the same time.
If it were him, he would also guess that the two commanders were secretly protecting some important person, so Arthur Lubin did not hesitate at all when he said that.
It was as if he was expressing his loyalty in front of him.
"Commander Lubin, I hope you will be careful with your words and actions. You should know that to others, your words will sound like you are provoking a fight within the Sun King's family." Melsusa said sternly.
Even if they were in different countries, she could still take action if anyone spoke slanderously of the High King. And with the defensive strength of this small city, she could probably handle it alone, without the need for outside soldiers.
"Commander-in-Chief, please don't be angry. We don't want to be your enemies. And we don't have the qualifications to be your enemies! I am simply expressing the Lubin family's thoughts. This is not just my opinion, but the opinion of the entire Lubin family."
Make your target topic bigger so that you appear smaller.
Sean didn't know how many times he had heard similar words in Oro City...
"Then please be careful about your words and actions, Lubin family. You are just Jagun's subjects, and it is best not to interfere in the family affairs of the Supreme King." Melsusa warned again.
"Of course, of course! We are all subjects, but I remember that we were all promoted by Queen Ayla Izdihar, and you, Commander, were once her disciple. I say this only to show my loyalty to my old master, and I hope you don't mind, Commander." He said it casually, and even changed the subject later.
But that didn't sound like the case to Sean.
I just arrived at this place. Is it necessary for so many people to stare at me... and are they planning to push me to the top?
Then we should at least wait until the current Sun King dies, so that we have enough time to prepare.
If Sean was still fantasizing about becoming a free and easy prince before coming here, now it seems that some people in the desert countries have already started eyeing that position.
Tsk~
I couldn't help but think of this incident as the murder of the previous generation of Baron Weigel in the town of Telemian.
Are these things related...
Fight for the throne?
After thinking about it over and over again, I really didn’t enjoy the meal.
Ben Tari spent the rest of the time chatting with Arthur Lubin about other things and the stories that happened in the Borg War. Overall, Sean did not participate too much, and he was more thinking about his future plans.
It was already evening when we finished eating.
Still in order to conceal his identity, Sean will return to the barracks with Melsusa and other soldiers, on the grounds that there must be a commander in charge of the barracks, while Ben Tari will stay as a guest in the sheriff's mansion.
On paper, he is the highest commander here and should enjoy all high-level treatment.
On the way back, Melsusa told herself many times not to listen to the sheriff. She had been in contact with the Sun King for many years, and had lived in the palace as a disciple almost since the time of the previous Queen. In Melsusa's opinion, this generation of the Sun King was very gentle.
Moreover, she has always missed her deceased sister, Sean's mother, otherwise she would not have sent troops to help the Bashalan Empire because of the Golden Group incident... because it was the Golden Group in the early years that caused the siblings to wander in the desert for many years.
"To this day, the Sun King still often recalls the days when he and his mentor and his sister wandered in the desert as children. I absolutely do not believe he would harm you, Your Highness."
"I don't believe it either," Sean said affirmatively.
Indeed, we should not be led by outsiders. Regardless of whether the Sun King excludes us, or his children... those cousins exclude us, we should not be pushed to the opposite side by ministers and people from other countries.
And for now, Sean doesn't want to work on this matter. Instead of fighting for the throne which may take more than ten years or even longer to obtain, it is better to focus on finding the Book of the Dead and the Cain Slate.
I had already planned a series of reconnaissance teams and was waiting to implement them slowly in the future.
"Don't worry, I won't be led by the nose by those ministers... If I don't fight, no one will force me to fight." Sean said, looking at the other party with a smile.
Back at the camp, Arthur Lubin delivered the food and supplies he had purchased in advance, just as he had promised. He even promised to provide the same for the returning large force...
Sean really didn't expect that the manager of a small city would have so much money.
The Adak region is truly an unpredictable place!
Now that the food has been delivered and what needs to be said has been said, the next thing to do is to consider preparing to fly back to the capital of Jagun.
I can’t wait any longer…
Otherwise, if they walked over one by one, there would be more lords like Arthur Lubin who would try to intercept the team in various ways. And if there were those who were ready to pledge allegiance, it would be fine, but if there was a hostile camp, they would probably have to fight their way back.
