"Very good, thank you for your hard work along the way!" Sean smiled and helped the other person up.
These words came from the heart. Ever since Jagun decided to go on an expedition to become a pirate, Melsusa had been willing to follow him. Many dragon knights died along the way, especially when fighting on the sea, because they could not adapt to the environment, but she still followed him firmly.
Before they really have control over power, many people like to use talented people. After all, talent is indispensable for development.
But being loyal to yourself is even more precious than that...
Melsusa is his mother's disciple. Compared with the Sun King, she is more loyal to him. No matter what happens, the only person Sean doesn't want to cause any accidents in the army is her!
"Your Highness, you have suffered a lot these days," Melsusa said bluntly.
"How could that be... I live well here in Kserk, and Emperor Serge takes good care of me."
Sean could tell that the other party was speaking up for him about what had happened a few days ago. Now that the army had arrived, he could indeed be more assertive, but there was no need to insult others in front of the emperor.
The other party made a silent gesture with his finger, which Melsusa could see...
"I'll explain it to you later," he whispered.
Then he turned to Emperor Cel.
With the army in hand, Sean stood in front of the other party more like a state visit. From Mel Susa's words just now, we also heard that the navy is coming. Now Sean is more like a prince with dignity!
At this time, the princesses and princes who had called him big brother before did not dare to speak.
I was afraid that if I said something wrong, I would be scolded by my father...
This is still the lightest consequence. The most terrible consequence would be losing the candidate for future successor.
At the beginning, several princes did regard Sean as a friend, but it was said that there were four heirs on Jagun's side. Even if the two underage heirs were removed, there were still two people, and he might not be the one to inherit the throne in the end.
However, when I saw that the other party was holding a large number of troops, I realized the strength of this prince... The commander of such a powerful army knelt down, how great must his prestige be.
Both Lieta and Nova began to believe that the other was the most likely to become the heir to the desert and that it was not a rumor.
……………………
After Melsusa arrived, Emperor Sel held a banquet in the palace as usual to entertain all the commanders and generals who came. Not only the generals with some fame, but even the soldiers were entertained.
In order to demonstrate the friendliness and strength of the Keselk Empire, all Jagun soldiers who came to the capital were able to eat and drink well, and even the flying dragons were given meat.
After the meal, Sean also stated that the purpose of his visit had been achieved and he would go back in two days. In order to show the results of his trip to other countries, he also signed several trade agreements with Emperor Sel as a prince, as well as policies on tax reduction and intermarriage between coastal residents of the two places.
Most of them are methods that Jagun often uses, so it’s okay if Sean agrees to them alone.
The fact that it could be signed as a prince also represented Sean's high reputation in Jagun, and almost confirmed the rumors of his succession.
If it was the previous Sean, he might not have been so high-profile, but this time, he not only fought against various robbers and pirates, but even went back to the timeline more than 20 years ago to meet his mother.
There are some things that you can't avoid.
Now that you are here, just keep it!
In fact, for the emperor of a country, there are not many opportunities to send envoys to other countries. In the overall environment, transportation is still the most troublesome problem. It is rare for a prince to be able to make a trip like this. It is estimated that the princes and princesses like Keselke in front of him will die of old age in this palace even if they ascend the throne in the future.
I can never leave...
Gaining an identity also means being shackled.
After the banquet, Sean asked Melsusa, Marlowe and Oshalia to come to his room to report on the situation in the past few days and count the number of people killed in the battle.
Of the navy that went on this expedition, only a small number died in battle, and the majority went missing in the storm...
Of course, there are reasons for this.
Because of the power of the [Time Ruler], he pulled out an inevitable ending of death, not changing it but directly erasing it. However, the event has already happened, so those who are destined to die will still die.
Without the destruction caused by the pirates, it was replaced by this kind of wind and waves.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. Over a thousand of the men I brought with me died in the battle, but over four thousand haven't been found yet. I'm afraid..."
It was Oshalia who spoke.
In Sean's mind, the other party, as the leader of the civilian army, has always been a supporter of his younger brother, and the reason he behaved so low-key this time was because too many of the soldiers he brought died.
But he had departed from another port, so it was impossible for him to blame himself.
In contrast, only a few hundred soldiers on Marlow's side died and more than a thousand were missing...
Getting lost in that kind of storm is like being sentenced to death. The probability of surviving the big waves is very small, too small!
"They are all Jagun's people," Sean said.
Several generals also lowered their heads at this time, not knowing what to say. Casualties were inevitable in battle, but having so many people missing was indeed too tragic.
No one in the room spoke, but Frelia deliberately pressed Sean on the back.
I wanted to turn my head but the other person's thumb was deliberately pressing against my neck...
She doesn't want people to see?
Sean suddenly realized that Frelia was reminding him.
Given their current relationship, they could probably understand each other's meaning with just one gesture. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Sean spoke slowly.
"You're not the only one to blame for this. I'm also at fault. If I had asked you to depart from Dansu Port, this wouldn't have happened. After all, I led all the teams. I'll naturally give an explanation to the people when I return."
Some things have to be done by yourself.
It’s not about winning people’s hearts, but about consolidating their hearts.
A commander like Oshalia would not turn against his own side for a small favor, but if he was brought down, Mudan might find a new supporter in the military.
Instead of letting people who don’t belong to him stand in the opposing position, it is better to let people who are familiar with him and have done him a favor continue to be his opponent!
At least compared to him, I won't be blamed much, and I might even be praised by Kselk, which is much better than the other party.
"this……"
"That's all for this matter. You've worked hard searching for soldiers at sea these days. Take advantage of these two days to enjoy yourself in the Kselk Palace," said Sean.
