It was not that they had not thought about this question, but they had not thought it through so thoroughly. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
Kyle said anxiously, “If that is the case, is it a bad move for the king to answer in person so straightforwardly? Oh no, oh no. I thought what he did was a good idea. The king should have used other words to prevaricate and then consider how to answer the envoy’s at a later time after a discussion.”
Lorne immediately rolled his eyes at his friend.
“Stop, stop, stop. Look, why are you so anxious? What’s there to be anxious about?
“The Spartan Kingdom only has such a conspiracy and ambition, but are they sure to succeed?
“All the assumptions are based on the fact that the Lolan Empire and the Bora Kingdom are in a protracted war. But what if the war ends quickly?
“So, the current king and Abner’s military soldiers already know what they’re thinking. These people have been in power for so many years. Don’t they have more things on their minds than you two merchants?”
Kyle smiled embarrassedly, but he could not help but complain in his heart about how unfair all this was.
He really did not think much about it. At least when he was in the hall, he really did not think too deeply about it.
However, now that he heard Lorne say it in detail, his train of thought was much clearer.
There was a conspiracy burning in the Spartan Kingdom. This was something that he was worried about.
However, this little trick would not have much of an impact on the Lolan Empire.
Thinking about it, the so-called conspiracy did not matter much. This meant that his answer at that time could be said to have given a correct answer.
Kyle was relieved and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
At this moment, Abner suddenly said, “Boss, actually, there’s one thing I don’t understand. You were saying why the Spartan Kingdom had to send someone to the Lolan Empire so urgently.
“And then there were three problems. After that, they even stated that they wanted to treat our Lolan Empire as their suzerain.
“The Spartan Kingdom has quite a lot of land. Their defenses aren’t bad either. They can completely become a force to be reckoned with.
“Although such a large kingdom is far inferior to Lolan, there’s no need for them to put on a bitter face and beg to be sent here for protection. They should be treated as a vassal country.
“Do you think they have any motives in this matter?”
Lorne looked at Abner in surprise. Then, he could not help but point his finger and say, “That’s right Boo. Hey, your question is a little better than what Charles asked.
“It’s been a while for me to come up with a question that I need to use my brain to think about, and not just come up with it casually with my eyes closed.”
“…”
This sentence seemed to praise the level of the questions he asked, but no matter which direction he looked at, he still felt that it was a little strange. Then, a second later, Abner felt that Kyle, who was sitting across from him, was looking at him with a slightly murderous gaze.
Abner was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
Why was the King of Lolan looking at him like that?
The king tried to keep a stoic gave, but he could not help but snort in his heart.
It was all because of that sentence, “It’s much better than the questions Charles asks.”
It was as if he had never had a brain before.
…
However, a joke was still a joke. Kyle and Abner still turned their gazes to Lorne.
They all wanted to know why the Spartan Kingdom was in such a hurry to worship the Lolan Empire as their suzerain?
Could it be that they had nothing better to do and simply wanted to find a higher power to be under?
Then this conclusion was too ridiculous.
Lorne tapped his fingers lightly on the table and asked in return, “I remember that the king trusted by the Spartan Kingdom is called Marcus. He seems to be a young man?”
Kyle immediately nodded. He was certain of this point. Marcus was indeed a young man, and he had ascended to the position of king less than a few months ago.
Regarding this, he had personally asked the messenger named Puye.
Lorne nodded and began to analyze the situation.
“For a country, there are only a few reasons why it is in a hurry to call a strong country as its suzerain.
“Either the country is weak, or the country is facing internal and external problems. It needs to find a strong backer to support it.
“Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a country that would want to find someone to suppress it.”
Kyle and Abner agreed. They were also certain about this point.
The small countries that used to worship the Lolan Empire as their suzerain country had to submit because they were too close to the Lolan Empire and were too weak to fight back. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ
Otherwise, who would really be willing to acknowledge that they were weak?
Seeing the two of them nodding their heads, Lorne continued, “The strength of the Spartan Kingdom isn’t considered weak.
“In the southwest region, they technically play the role of the master. Therefore, it’s unrealistic to say that other countries are weak and dependent on others.
“And among the internal and external problems, their external problems are nothing more than our Lolan Empire’s attack on the Bora Kingdom in the north.
“However, now, our Lolan Empire and Bora Kingdom are clearly hostile towards each other. Sooner or later, there will be a war, and no one would really have the leisure to deal with the Spartan Kingdom first.
“In summary, the real problem of the Spartan Kingdom is definitely due to internal problems. They have internal problems.”
After a brief analysis, Lorne directly clarified the train of thought for Abner and Kyle.
A strange light flashed in Kyle’s eyes. He could not help but take the initiative to insinuate, “According to you, there is an internal conflict in the Spartan Kingdom.
“And this internal conflict is related to Marcus?”
Lorne immediately snapped his fingers and said very straightforwardly, “That’s right. The wisdom of your old investigative skills have finally improved by a little. It is not in vain that I have been carefully teaching you.”
Wrinkles appeared on Kyle’s forehead.
What does this kid mean?
However, he was too lazy to bother with this silly banter. In any case, he was already used to it. Seeing that Lorne’s wine glass was empty, Kyle immediately filled it up for him. Finally, he said with some anticipation, “Then what kind of internal strife would make Marcus so eager to seek Lolan’s help?”
Lorne could not help but wink when Kyle filled his wine glass.
As expected, his old friend had some foresight and even knew how to pour wine for him.
Lorne’s interest immediately soared.. He dipped his finger into the wine and wrote the word Marcus on the table.
