Especially when something major happens, carrier pigeons fly high in the sky in flocks.

As soon as Roning came out of the Niujiao Bay port, his information was sent out. Missy, who was entrusted by Blanche to inquire about, was just one of them.

Of course, he didn't know this.

Under the arrangement of business officer Jolly, they moved into the Dennis family's manor in Niujiao Bay, preparing to set off from here to Jinyu City early the next morning.

The royal palace.

This magnificent building with magnificent architecture and exquisite craftsmanship is the palace of His Majesty the King.

Even though it is night time, it is still as bright as day here.

His Majesty Bruno, who was tall and burly, sat on the throne, listening to the knights' report on the nobles who had come to the port of Oxhorn Bay today.

“These guys…”

Bruno was so angry that he laughed.

Although most of the nobles from the kingdoms closer to Golden Feather City attended Blanche's birthday party, those who attended were either one generation older than Blanche, or men who were already engaged or married, or elders who brought their daughters.

Anyway, there was not a single man of marriageable age, as if they were afraid that his Majesty the King would marry Blanche to them if he pleased.

"This Ronin is beyond my expectation."

Bruno picked up Ronin's information, which recorded that Ronin, on behalf of Wushan Castle, commanded the noble coalition to wipe out the Polante bandit group, as well as the latest intelligence from Oxhorn Bay today.

He agreed to Lu Lansi's request, partly because of his personal relationship with Lu Lansi;

On the other hand, seeing that the old Wushan family had never had an alliance with the royal family, he also wanted to take the opportunity to place his own forces there.

Of course, a small part of it was out of helplessness about Blanche's current situation.

If it weren't for the fact that his daughter was almost twenty and still hadn't found a marriage, which would damage his political image, he would rather choose Breton than agree to Ronin, who was deprived of the right of inheritance.

Originally, he was thinking of giving Roning some merits to improve his qualifications, but he didn't expect that the latter would be able to become the Earl of Wubei Territory so quickly from the Baron of Shanlin Town by relying on his own strength.

Although Ronin's status cannot be compared with that of an earl of the kingdom, it is at least much higher than that of a petty baron.

"Arsenault, do you think our Marquis deliberately concealed Ronin's talent and made the outside world think that Ronin was a useless person who couldn't practice?"

“Very likely!”

Below, Government Secretary Arsenault nodded in agreement.

"When Grems died in battle, many people participated in it. Most of them did not want the Wushan family to have two extremely talented Meteor Knights."

He added in his mind: "Lu Lan Si probably knew this reason, so after Luo Ning showed his talent, he deliberately concealed it."

More than thirty years ago, Rulans himself was very talented, and his son Grahams was even better than him, which naturally aroused jealousy and envy from others.

Everyone was happy to see the weakening of the family's power, including King Alduin IV, Bruno's father, Klinsmann.

However, they did not expect that the suppression was too harsh in the end. Not only did Grahams die, but even Lulans himself was crippled. This is why Wushan Territory has been in a period of turmoil for the past thirty years.

Every failure makes one wiser. It is entirely possible that Lulans will hide Luo Ning.

"He asked Luo Ning to step forward now. Does he think the time is right?"

Bruno tapped the armrest.

Ronin's talent is undoubtedly very strong, even not inferior to his son Garrett. From this point of view, he is worthy of the princess.

But for Bruno, it would be better if Ronin could inherit the Wushan Territory again, so that his political bargaining chips would be higher and his rule would be more solid.

"Who do you think was behind the assassination of Luo Ning and his group?"

Arsenault glanced at the king, then shook his head. "It's hard to say."

Although he was a trusted minister, Arsenault didn't dare to say anything without evidence as it would easily offend people.

Bruno rubbed his brows and said, "These guys are really a headache."

Among those great nobles, except for Grand Duke Gistana, all the others were unwilling to be ordinary.

To be honest, Bruno's performance in governing the country and his strength was mediocre. The main reason he was able to successfully inherit the throne of the kingdom was due to his status as the eldest son, and there would always be people who were dissatisfied.

Although under the system of primogeniture, these nobles would not rebel to seize the throne, but it was common for them to compete and fight with the kingdoms in many areas such as economic interests.

The assassination of Ronin might have been done for the purpose of disrupting the Wushan Territory, or it might have been done to weaken his authority as a king and make Blanche a joke to him.

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to see you!" the guard came in to report.

Bruno raised his eyebrows. His daughter rarely showed up in public, so how come she had time to come to the palace today?

"Let her in."

Soon, Blanche came in and offered a polite and respectful greeting.

"Blanche, my daughter, how come you have time to come to me?"

Blanche was a little embarrassed, but she still said, "Father, I heard that Ronin was attacked by the White Whale Pirates at sea."

Bruno smiled slightly, he knew what his daughter was worried about.

"Don't worry, he is not injured. He is resting in Niujiao Bay now. He will arrive at Jinyu City tomorrow night. After I summon him, I will arrange a meeting for you."

Blanche did not express much opinion on this matter. After all, she couldn't act so impatient in front of outsiders.

"It was Luo Ning who saved me last time in Wushan Fort. This time when he came to attend my birthday party, he was attacked by pirates. This must be a premeditated assassination!"

She said: "Please uphold justice for Ronin and send troops to wipe out the White Whale Pirates!"

"I understand your anger about what happened to your friend. But my daughter, you have to understand that pirates are like stink bugs. You will feel uncomfortable if you don't kill them, but if you want to kill them, you are worried that they will fart and stink you."

This is also the reason why Bruno does not want to eliminate the pirates. In the past, when the pirates were causing trouble, he would ask the Earl's family of Screaming Island to send troops to clear them out, but the royal fleet did not go out often.

Having said this, he suddenly changed the subject.

"However, this time Ronin seems to have captured the deputy leader and captain of the pirate group. We may be able to find the base of the White Whale Pirates through them and wipe them out."

Arsenault agreed, "We should indeed strike a blow against this group of pirates. Otherwise, not only will it encourage their arrogance, but it will also make them mistakenly believe that the royal family is incapable of dealing with them."

The "they" he mentioned naturally does not just refer to the pirates, but also those who cooperate with the pirates or even support the pirates.

"Blanche, please go down first. I will consider this matter for your friend."

"Yes, father!" Blanche bowed slightly and left the hall.

"I plan to let Roning take charge of wiping out the White Whale Pirates," Bruno said.

As an assistant who had followed the king for more than ten years, Arsenault immediately guessed the other party's intention and couldn't help laughing.

"To receive your favor and active support, I can only say that Luo Ning is really lucky."

He was right. Bruno really wanted to help Ronin become stronger.

Because only in this way can Wushan Territory get out of its decline and have a chance to compete with the major forces in the east of the kingdom, instead of being just a delicious dish on the menu like it is now.

Ronin has become stronger, and it is beneficial for Bruno to let Ronin fight with them.

"The current Luo Ning is qualified to be supported by me."

Bruno thought for a moment and said, "One White Whale Pirates Group is not enough. Please help me find out if there is anything else that can be assigned to him." (End of this chapter)
