"What's going to happen?"
For a moment, Sean didn't understand what Frelia's purpose was. Would something bad happen to him?
Who knew that Frelia would roll her eyes at him and answer him pretending to be dissatisfied.
"You used to be one step ahead of everyone else. How could you not have thought of this now that you're in the vortex of power? Rocks is the greatest pirate captain on the seas in decades. It's inevitable that some of his pirates are loyal to him. Moreover, this time they're working with the Free Men. Your appearance just happened to ruin their plans."
When Frelia said this, Sean seemed to understand what she meant!
Originally, these organizations hostile to the Kselke wanted to use the tribute incident to sow discord between the two countries, but Jagun's actions and his own arrival made their plans fail.
"That's not really my fault. Besides, didn't the free men ask for reconciliation a few days ago? They're not having an easy time either." On the way here, these guys even left a note for me. Didn't they just want to reconcile?
"They want to reconcile, but doesn't the condition of reconciliation depend on your attitude? Emperor Sel will probably let you go on the stage to watch, and then announce your great achievements to the people of the world. By then, you, the prince, will not only become a great hero but also a thorn in the eyes of others." Frelia couldn't help but smile when she saw Sean's appearance at the moment.
"That's unavoidable. Forming an alliance with Kserk is the best approach. If I must offend one of the two sides, I'd rather offend those so-called 'free men'."
There are not many ways to have the best of both worlds in this world. Most of them involve giving up one thing in order to gain another. In comparison, Sean feels that the Kselk royal family is more worthy of making friends.
"I didn't ask you to go against them. I just said that you shouldn't keep silent all the time. Occasionally share some of your achievements with others... For example, with the royal family and nobles, and those who helped us. How can one person take all the credit?"
"Everyone only cares about what's in front of them. Few people think about what will happen to others in the future. Emperor Sel needs your friendly relationship to maintain peace between the two countries, but he doesn't consider how we will return. Besides, you should also get to know more nobles from other countries. It won't do you any harm..."
Frelia's words made Sean understand the specific meaning. If the other party really wanted him to express his feelings, he should talk more about the good things about others and make friends with other members of the royal family.
"What are you looking at!" Frelia smiled proudly under her red hair.
"I find that I can't live without you any more!"
It is a very happy thing to have a woman who knows how to give you advice, so Sean simply picked up Frelia.
"There are still people outside..."
………………
During the few days Lucille stayed in the Kserk Palace, she rarely saw anyone. She either went to see Rachel or went to the big library she mentioned to look up information, and also visited the local famous wizards.
Her own rank was very high. She had been able to come and go freely in the Jagon Palace, and it was even easier in the Keselk Palace. Furthermore, with the tacit approval of the great alchemist Rachel, she could enter and leave the imperial city almost at any time...
These days, Sean was either taken out to dinner by the princes and princesses, or they were admiring the flowers and the moon together. Sometimes he felt really bored, but he had to keep a happy smile. Usually, in such occasions, Sean could only bring Frelia to ease the awkwardness, but he preferred to look up maps in the Royal Library.
No other meaning.
I simply felt that by watching the movements of the soldiers on the islands in the sea every day, I could roughly judge what was happening, just like when I was in Oro City.
By watching the movement of the small dots on the map, you can roughly understand what the residents are doing.
According to my observation, the soldiers trapped on the island would go out of the island a little bit every day, probably to look for food, but the range they could go out was limited and sometimes they jumped directly into the sea. That should be because they were riding flying dragons.
They were fine for the past two days, but they couldn't sail far.
Either the ship was destroyed, or they didn't know the direction so they were waiting... and the letters I sent should have arrived. I believe it won't be long before Marlowe and the others can find these soldiers by following the route.
On the other hand, after Emperor Sel announced in the Xerxes Palace that he would publicly execute the great pirate Rocks, he also invited all the nobles and royal family members near the imperial capital to come and watch this act of justice, and even allowed the public to watch... The news spread throughout the Xerxes capital in a short time, and everyone knew that Rocks was going to be executed.
Many nobles came to the imperial city that day, and some of them came specifically to visit him.
Since last night, he's been getting invited to so many things that he doesn't even have enough time in the whole day. He also has to be selective when he goes out, otherwise he'll be invited by multiple people at the same time. What makes Sean even more speechless is that he doesn't know any of them...
Frelia hoped to spend more time with the nobles in these places, but she also had to be selective with people, as it was impossible for her to visit two places at the same time.
Since yesterday, I have had fewer opportunities to come to the library. Occasionally, when I pass by, the fat director greets me and says that he has already placed the map and is waiting for me to come over at any time.
For the royal family except those of Kserk, there are not many opportunities to meet princes of other countries, so even if the curator obeys the orders of Emperor Sel, it does not prevent him from lending books to himself within the permitted scope.
Sean noticed that today's curator was dragging a bag and preparing to leave.
"What are these?"
"Some books have not been used for decades and many of them have been eaten by insects. I have to get rid of them first, otherwise other books will suffer." said the librarian.
Sean picked up a book at random and opened it to read. The handwriting was already blurred. After turning a few more pages, he could see traces of termites.
It was a book about history and humanities, but when Sean turned to the last few pages, he suddenly found rows of numbers written by borrowers, and they were numbers side by side...
He hurriedly took out a book.
"If Prince Sean is interested, there are new versions. These are old versions and many parts are different." Perhaps because he thought Sean was interested in the stories above, he had gotten used to the prince from the desert country coming here often to read books these days.
There are very few royal family members who like to read. In the curator's mind, the prince in front of him is a rare studious person.
"I just want to take a look at these. Can you lend them to me?" Sean asked the other person.
"Of course, if the prince finds it convenient." I don't understand why the other party wants these old books. They are already a thing of the past.
"Thank you very much," Sean responded.
Because the numbers on the back of the books in his hands were exactly the same as the numerical codes given to him by Occam, a fugitive in the Xerxes Empire, twenty years ago; even the arrangement was very similar!
