Baha City.
They have entered a large city within the capital of Jagun. Under Sean's personal leadership, the tribute team has not encountered any danger along the way.
Moreover, because of their connections, they received top-notch treatment in every city or town they passed through. This improved the situation a lot for many tribute teams who had complained about the security in Jagong some time ago.
Now, as the only senior diplomat representing the country of Kserk, Pike will report the situation of the entire desert countries to the emperor after returning.
And now appearing before his eyes is the most prestigious prince of Jagun, Sean.
Of course, I need to talk to him more... Based on what I have seen so far, this Prince Sean is one of the most competitive candidates to be the future heir to Jagun.
Judging from the decisiveness and magnanimity shown by the other party these days, for a royal heir of this age, even the princes in his own country cannot match him!
"I heard that Prince Sean is in charge of a celebration event recently. I wonder what kind of interesting event it is." Pike asked with a smile.
The two walked at the front of the team and talked to each other about topics in their respective countries.
But it was Parker who did most of the asking.
After all, it's a situation where you want the other person...
"You're talking about that. Some things happened a while ago that made the whole nation feel uneasy. We hope to ease people's mood through activities like this." Sean replied.
"The Sun King truly loves his people just as the rumors say."
Always have to blow a wave.
Before coming to Jagun, Pike had repeatedly heard historians in his own country say that speaking well of the king in a desert country was a sign of respect.
"Every emperor is like this...isn't he?" Sean looked at the other person with a smile, and after a moment of silence, he nodded repeatedly.
"Your Highness is right."
I thought to myself that this prince was quite skillful in speaking. I remembered that he had mentioned that he was a count before... The Imperial Count of Bashalan had learned the language of open communication, not offending anyone and never taking credit for himself.
Just as the two were chatting, Melsusa suddenly walked forward from behind them.
"Your Highness, we are about to enter Baha City."
"Well, have you sent someone to notify the local sheriff?"
The conversation between the two can only be understood by each other.
Sean had previously asked the other party to prepare the confessions of the suspected robbers in advance, especially those pagans who were captured, to see what they confessed.
"Everything has been arranged. Maybe the whole city will line the streets to welcome us."
"Hahaha...we have benefited a lot from His Royal Highness the Prince's glory this time." Pike, who had been listening quietly on the side, replied with a smile.
"That's as it should be. Our Jagun people are very welcoming!" he said with a smile.
…………
Baha City.
In fact, Sean didn't know much about these cities. He might have seen them on the map in his study before. He remembered these cities because of their short names, but he didn't know much about the officials or residents in these cities. Moreover, as a royal family, it was enough for him to listen to reports every time, and he rarely went to such cities in person to learn about them.
We are already close to the capital.
The festive atmosphere here has become stronger. Compared with the cities I have visited before, the whole city of Baha is filled with a festive atmosphere.
As soon as Sean entered the city gate, he was warmly welcomed...
The people chanted their names and blessings to the Sun King.
The streets were jam-packed with people rushing to see him, and Sean could feel the enthusiasm at a glance...
Countless gazes were fixed on him, and the "excitement!" and "enthusiasm!" above him were evident.
"Hey, Mi'erko. What do you say? We should hold a parade in the year of the celebration. Either the Sun King or a few of us brothers will represent the royal family and march through the main streets of the capital." Faced with the cheers that came one after another, Sean had to shout to communicate with the other party.
"A parade? That's great. There were several parades when the Queen was alive. This method can increase Your Highness's prestige among the people." Mi'er agreed with his suggestion.
But of course Sean had other plans.
Just look at the favorability!
Right now, most of the feelings are [respect] and [friendliness].
But occasionally there are still some people who are [neutral] and [indifferent], or just ordinary and lukewarm [friendly].
It's all pretty normal...
Favorability reflects people's inner thoughts. Even royal family members cannot be loved by everyone. Even if they appear to be loved, there will be some resistance in their hearts. Especially when so many people are crowded together, any small friction and things that affect life will all be blamed on themselves.
However, there is very little goodwill towards [hatred] or [hostility].
From what I have seen so far, not yet... Even towards my two younger brothers and sisters who are fighting openly and secretly for the position of heir, they are only [cold], not to the point of real hatred, and their favorability changes very quickly. If you are a little nice to them, they may become [neutral].
Because I didn't join the rescue mission that they had planned to improve their reputation, their favorable impression of me suddenly increased to neutral.
However, if they knew now that they had become the direct person responsible for this incident by mistake, they would probably become indifferent again.
Anyway, the jump is pretty fast...
The difference between good and bad is just a thought.
Before, I had always observed it through a sand table, but it was not so clear for Jagong with a large population. But now I feel different when I see it in person.
As long as there is crimson hatred and hostility, it can be found in the crowd...
At least this street has not been discovered yet.
If it appears, Sean believes that he will be able to discover it first.
"That's good. I've thought about it before. I'll discuss it with my uncle when I get back."
Amid the cheers of the people, Sean led Pike and a group of tribute teams to the local sheriff's residence.
There was more hospitality and some polite mutual flattery, and Sean was not able to withdraw until after dinner.
Because they had been specifically instructed before, the local sheriff did not dare to neglect it...
When he saw Sean return to the room, he immediately took the information he had collected and handed it to him.
"That's all?"
Sean, Mirko, Melsusa and others were in the room, and the local sheriff bowed and waited for orders.
"Yes, we haven't captured many relevant individuals in this city. Most of them are just mercenaries who knew about this mission... As for the other intelligence, it was sent from the central region. I will send it to Your Highness intact."
