On the other side, Lucas, Earl Barton and Captain Giles were still making arrangements to send soldiers out to sea to search for the Jagon navy.
"This is a golden opportunity for us. The arrival of the Desert Prince can increase the external influence of our Yalan Castle. I estimate that after the news comes tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the main managers of many surrounding cities will come here to visit. By then, it will be disadvantageous for us if Prince Sean organizes another mobilization meeting." Earl Patton said.
In fact, they didn't care about Jagun's navy at all. Even if it wiped out the pirates, they would just say a few words of thanks.
Life in Yalan Castle remained the same when the pirates were there, and even if they are gone, Yalan Castle is unlikely to change much... As long as the sea remains boundless, there will be future robbers who will become pirates.
Over the years, coastal countries have never stopped cracking down on pirates, but he still appeared!
So, compared to the pirates, the three of them valued Prince Sean himself more...
He is the only son of the previous Desert Queen. He should be the legitimate heir to the royal family. Even the current heir of the Sun Prince does not represent the authenticity.
"That's right. We need to make Prince Sean rely on us as much as possible or get his promise. This will be beneficial to the future development of our city." Giles also thought so.
"What do you think, Mr. Lucas?"
Both of them were discussing enthusiastically, but only Lucas was calculating the payoffs of all the results.
"What do you think after calculating for so long?"
"No matter how you look at it, Prince Sean is the most likely heir to the throne, which is good for us all... I know the people of the Desert Nations very well. Right now, the Sun King's prestige is high, so many people won't consider this matter. But when the Sun King reaches his twilight years, the people will discuss the legitimacy of his bloodline in the future heir, and Prince Sean will undoubtedly be the first choice."
Lucas' words were recognized by the two.
"I almost forgot that Mr. Lucas originally traded between the two places."
"This has nothing to do with trade... I understand that area, so this time we must help Prince Sean as much as possible, and then Xi will report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor first."
"You're right! Be quick."
The three of them were discussing so intensely that they didn't even touch on the main point until Lucas reminded them.
"In that case, I will go write the report now. You should also go to bed early. Have all the soldiers and boatmen go out early tomorrow morning."
From the perspective of the three, sacrificing a day or two of financial resources was not a big deal; the main thing was being able to cling to Prince Sean's support.
They each left, and Lucas returned to his residence.
Two of them originally wanted to come over to talk, but he sent them away saying they were too tired today. Only his wife stayed.
"I didn't expect that the desert prince would end up in our city!" said Lucas's wife.
"I never expected that... but it's precisely this kind of opportunity we can't miss. We promised to help him, and we also hope he can help us. In recent years, many cities in the country have been developing independently, following the policies of Zambutal. Military control has gradually decreased, but the power of the nobility has risen slightly. Perhaps Barton and Giles also want to make some changes to the city."
"Isn't that great? It's our luck to meet the Desert Prince."
"I'm just worried there's no place for us in this," Lucas said suddenly.
He glanced at his wife...If Sean had asked carefully before, he would have found that this was someone he had known for a long time.
Edith, who was born into a merchant family, had met Lucas once before, and now she is Lucas's wife. Their marriage is somewhat like a strong alliance, but now that they have two children, there is no distinction between you and me. Any method that can plan a way out for this new family is good.
"You mean..."
Edith couldn't say anything before Lucas interrupted her.
"Don't talk nonsense if you have no clue about this matter. I'm just preparing for a rainy day. After all, I didn't expect the Desert Prince to come here!"
"But then again, is Sean a relatively popular name?" Lucas seemed to have a little impression of this name, as if he had come across several people with this name over the years.
"I heard that the Desert Prince lived as a minor noble in the country of Zambutal when he was young. Perhaps it's more common there."
For some reason, both of them felt that the name Sean was very familiar, but they just couldn't remember where they had seen him.
But the prince was only in his early twenties, and the two had been doing business in Adak and Keselke for so many years. It was impossible for them to have met the prince in Zambutar.
What's more, he's quite old...
It shouldn't be possible.
Both of them dismissed the idea that they had ever seen the prince.
……………………
The next morning, Lucas followed the desert's way and prepared to come to Prince Sean early to pay his respects.
The desert region values imperial power, so if others won't do it, then I'll take the initiative to do it... and by the way, report the news I received this morning to the other party.
I came to the room where Sean was, which was the residence specially arranged for me.
Lucas knocks on the door to report...
What surprised him was that Prince Sean also got up early. Besides him, there was another lady in the room, the beautiful lady who was the focus of yesterday's dinner.
After all, he is a prince, so it is normal for him to have a few women around him.
Lucas pretended not to see and reported the situation at the door.
