Chapter 559: Stories on The Way Back

It was clear that the dark-skinned and muscular man was Husky Emile who was recruited by Fei.

When the troop of Chambord left Dual-Flags City, Fei brought this simple-minded but pure young man with him after getting consent. Jessica, his sister, was being sent to Chambord by Manager Abramovich to establish a new branch.

Abramovich had his plans. By sending Jessica, who was already friends with the King of Chambord, to the Chambord Kingdom, it would maintain the relationship between him and Fei. Instead of growing apart due to the long distance, he was helping Chambord’s economy by investing in it, making their relationship tighter.

This way, Husky and Jessica didn’t need to separate as brother and sister, and it wasn’t a bad arrangement.

“Brother, why did the royal family and the Military Headquarter pull away His Majesty’s title as the Legion Commander of [Wolf Teeth Legion]? Didn’t His Majesty do a good job? They didn’t give His Majesty that many soldiers…… If His Majesty didn’t stop the invaders of Jax, Dual-Flags City might have been conquered…… Every single person in Dual-Flags City is thankful for His Majesty’s work…… What the royal family and the Military Headquarter did is truly disappointing.”

Jessica said as she pouted. She threw a small piece of rock into the lake, and it created a series of ripples.

Husky laughed and scratched his head.

Although he had been following Fei for the last while, he didn’t pay attention to anything else except for Fei’s safety. In Fei’s words, Husky’s head was filled with muscle and a tiny bit of brain. He was too simple to think about all the complicated matter.

“I heard that…… Crown Prince Arshavin and His Majesty have some conflicts. Therefore, he ordered the military headquarter to mess with His Majesty.” Husky used all he got and vaguely came up with a reasonable explanation.

“Arshavin His Highness? Really? A genius like Arshavin His Highness should appreciate someone like Mr. Alexander, no? They are the two most talented young man in Zenit! People are saying that although Emperor Yassin is ill, Zenit is lucky to have them two. After Arshavin His Highness becomes the emperor, Mr. Alexander could become the No.1 Warrior of the empire and help him!” Jessica looked at her brother and asked, “Brother, did you hear it wrong?”

“No, no.” Husky quickly shook his head. After he looked around and made sure that no one was close by, he walked up and whispered, “Three days ago, when the special envoy from the Military Headquarter arrived at Dual-Flags City, I was with His Majesty and witnessed the whole thing. That damn envoy was very arrogant, and he was not polite at all. He said that the Military Headquarter was very displeased by the progress at the Jax Battle Zone; his tone was very stern. After he stripped away His Majesty’s titles, he told other people in private that Emperor Yassin no longer values His Majesty, and Second Prince Dominguez who supports His Majesty also lost in the battle of the throne. Except for Crown Prince Arshavin who has issues with His Majesty, a few noble families and Fourth Prince Chrystal are also trying to cause trouble for His Majesty; they hate His Majesty. Since His Majesty killed the leaders of the seven noble families, they are going to use that against him. Once His Majesty is convicted, the consequences might be too severe to overcome.”

“What? That serious?” Jessica was shocked. She jumped up and said anxiously, “Does His Majesty know about this? No, I need to tell him……”

Before she could finish, she rushed toward the King’s Tent.

Husky was surprised. He grabbed onto his sister’s wrist and said, “Jessica, wait. His Majesty already knows about it. Think about it; this is something that even I know. How could His Majesty not know about it?”

Jessica thought about it and flushed.

She was a smart girl. Although she only got into the affluent circle recently, her mind was a lot broader. Manager Abramovich taught her well, so she was able to think everything through in a short moment.

For some reason, as soon as she heard that Fei might be in danger, she lost her cool and logic. Her heart raced, and she got very worried. She wanted to tell that person all about it.

Touching her burning cheeks, she peeked at her simple-minded brother and realized that he didn’t discover anything. She calmed down a little, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Does His Majesty have a way to deal with it? If…… If……”

Husky scratched his head habitually and laughed, “I’m not sure if His Majesty has solutions, but I feel like His Majesty isn’t worried…… Just like how a giant won’t worry about the provocation coming from ants, it feels like His Majesty is too great for them. If the giant wants, he could destroy the ants easily. Hehe, I’m not sure if my analogy is appropriate, but I think it is right.”

Jessica laughed and shook her head after seeing her brother’s naïve expression.

Although Husky’s analogy was exaggerating, it brought this girl a strong sense of security.

She felt like she was over-concerned. “Alexander His Majesty is extremely talented; how could he be hindered by the corrupt and stupid nobles?” she thought.

She looked back at the reflections on the surface of the lake, and she went back to her deep thoughts.

For some reason even unknown to herself, she felt a little sad.

“Jessica, eat the food first. The dishes will be cold……” Husky didn’t sense his beautiful sister’s mind, so he simply took out the dishes from the magic food box that could keep everything warm and placed them in front of Jessica.

……

In the campsite, campfires lit up the sky.

The warriors and soldiers of Chambord sat around the campfire, and their loud laughter resonated in the area.

Priest Jessie, the most talented young priest in Black-Cloth Shrine, was sitting by the campfire that was closest to the lake.

This brown short-haired young man was using a tree branch, that was more than a meter long, to play with the burning campfire. As the fire flickered, his face was illuminated differently at every moment.

It seemed like he was thinking about a very difficult problem.

Beside him, Holy Knight Alan was quite relaxed. He was eating a roasted fish, and the aroma of the white fish meat was intriguing, adding flavor to the night.

Jessie and Alan were both lucky and unfortunately.

They were lucky enough to enter the core region of the Mythical Palace, but Domenech injured them before they could get any treasures. Also, Fei took them out of the core region before it closed, so their strengths also didn’t increase that much.

Three days ago, when Fei met with Batistuta and agreed to join Black-Cloth Shrine, the king got a new identity; he was now the bishop of this shrine that was once glorious and powerful. Before Batistuta went back to the headquarter of Black-Cloth Shrine to prepare for the official coronation, he asked Jessie and Alan to stay with Fei and act as the bishop’s servants.

Fei was happy to have two more powerful masters with him.

Jessie was now a mid-tier Half Moon Elite, and his addition to Chambord was a great thing.

“Jessie, don’t frown all the time. Eat something; you haven’t eaten for the whole day.” Alan had white hair just like Pierce, and the short hair stood on his head like iron spikes. He looked energetic, and he passed a sauced up roasted cod to Jessie as he smiled.

“Alan, I think the headquarter of the shrine is going to be moved to the Chambord Castle once Alexander His Majesty is coronated. I’m afraid that the other shrines in the northern region would pay a lot of attention to us by then…… All sorts of obstacles and issues will come…… Also, Platini, the bishop of the Northern Regional Church, and the Senate need to approve the coronation. Huh…… There are a lot of issues ahead of us!”

Jessie took a bit of the roasted fish, but he didn’t have the appetite.

“Jessie, you are overthinking it. Mr. Batistuta and the elders will handle all of this, and Alexander His Majesty isn’t dumb either.” Alan lowered his voice and whispered, “I think in the end, you are just not confident in our new bishop, right?”

A bitter smile appeared on Jessie’s face; Alan was right.
