"Isn't that great?"
"I don't think you'll ever get bored without me."
Frelia looked at the witch in front of her. She was so familiar with her! They had both studied magic in the imperial capital since childhood, and at that time they were both top students in their class.
Although they later went to different places, the private competition still existed, especially when he became the leader of the Wings of Covering the Sky. In the first few years, the other party was not a leader of the same level.
At that time, I often contradicted myself.
"It's certainly good without you, but without you, the people wouldn't know who to compare me to... That's why I say it's a pity."
"Hmph~ You haven't changed at all, always so high-profile." Frelia said with a sneer.
"You were quite the pushover back then, that's all. I'm not here to discuss this with you today. I want to ask you something."
It's rare for the arrogant Fatherine Blair to ask for help...
"What do you want to ask?"
"Haven't you been to the south? And to quite a few cities, with your lover... No, he should be the prince now, but you've become his lover."
"What exactly do you want to ask?" Frelia was a little displeased.
He had never had a good impression of the witch in front of him. She had often ridiculed him about Sean, especially when they were in the military camp.
Now that Sean has become the prince of Adak, he dares not say anything.
The topic becomes myself.
"Don't be angry, you still have such a bad temper. If you enter Jagun's palace in the future, you will suffer."
When saying this, Frelia suddenly remembered the time in the military camp, when they were fighting against the Borg... The other side once again clearly revealed the symbol of the Sun King's emblem.
There is a golden bird holding up the sun, and that emblem is only carried by those under the Sun King.
"Fatherine Blair, I have something to ask you. Are you related to the royal family of Jagon?" He looked at the other person's expression seriously, trying to capture even the slightest expression.
"It seems you are still capable of serious thinking, indeed. I am related to the royal family of Jagun. If it were not for the fact that you might become a princess in the future, I would not have come to you today."
When the princess was mentioned, Frelia's chest skipped a beat subconsciously.
But he still maintained a calm expression on the surface.
"Haha, I just complimented you, is there any need to be so happy? It's hard to say who the princess will be by then."
"... Let's get back to the topic. I called you here to ask you about the situation in the southern city." Faseline brought the topic back with disdain.
"What happened to the southern city?"
"Thanks to you, most of these things fell on me after you left... The southern cities are now where the highest concentration of refugees is, and now they have also become the most chaotic places."
"What's happening in the South?"
After leaving the Wings of Heaven headquarters, Frelia's access to intelligence was completely cut off. Now, she doesn't even know as much as the mercenaries in the mercenary guild.
"Refugees, bandits and believers are rampant everywhere, and there are many in Koga City where you visited before." Faselin said helplessly.
"The war has just ended, and most of the supplies consumed in the battle were forcibly conscripted from the people. Coupled with the refugees from the north moving south, this situation should have been anticipated long ago."
Fatherin looked around coldly. "I should have thought of this a long time ago. What's ridiculous is that the Bashalan royal family actually thought they could pacify it in such a short time."
"I don't understand when you became involved with the Sun King Jagun, and why you want to help the empire." After hearing the other party's identity, Frelia was less curious.
I didn't expect that the person I had been fighting with for many years was sent by another country?
This is hidden too deeply.
“Very early…”
"My mentor was even born earlier than your prince. He was originally a member of the Crown of the Sun. Although we work in different countries, we still have to respect the Sun King." Fatherine looked at the other party, and her question was still not answered.
So I asked directly.
"Have you ever heard of the Shepherd God in the South before?"
"Shepherd God? What is that? I've never heard of it before."
"He's a cultist who's been quite active in the southwest lately. They believe in the Shepherd God. I've never come into contact with cultists before, and since the south was once your territory, I came to ask you about this."
Frelia saw the worry in the other's eyes.
This look was the same as when he first heard that something happened in Koga City, and later when he went to investigate Tacoma City.
"I don't know about this church, but I advise you to be careful... The last Tacoma incident wasn't that simple. You never believed me before, but now I tell you... everything I said in the palace was true."
Earlier.
After the Tacoma City incident, Frelia went to the palace to report to the court wizards, but it was not known whether it was to avoid causing panic or for other reasons.
The royal family handled this matter very casually, as if they were trying to make it forgotten by the people.
Later events showed that they had done the right thing. The city of Oro was immediately built outside the old city of Tacoma and developed very well.
Plus what Sean said in the palace.
[The royal family's treasury always contains things that some unknown creatures covet.]
"I've always felt that the royal family might be hiding a lot of things from us. Even if the current King Simon and Prince Philip don't know, the previous generation of kings must have known about these things. It's impossible for such a situation to happen again and again in the Bashalan Empire."
"There must be a lot of things they're not letting us know."
Frelia said.
……………………
Jagung Palace, Adak area.
After waiting for almost a month, Sean finally waited for Claude to come...
Ordinary civilians are not allowed to enter the imperial palace, but outsiders can be received in the outer palaces.
That day, Sean took Illya to wait for Claude's arrival early.
After meeting, I finally feel relieved.
"Brother Sean, hey~ should I call you Your Highness now?! You're so cool! When the news of you spread to Oro City, the entire city was stunned."
There is no such adjective as "cool" in this world. Those were all learned from listening to Sean's complaints when the two of them lived in a store in Koga City in their early years.
Frowning at each other.
"What does the city say about me?"
"No one in this city would have guessed until their death that you were actually the prince of Adak."
"Can you describe it? Why don't you have shit?" Sean complained with a frown.
"No, no... I mean, no one has figured it out, and I guess people are still talking about it on the streets."
Sean originally wanted to go back to Oro City to make arrangements, but after all, it was in someone else's country, so he had to rush back.
I don’t know what the situation is over there now!
