Eanred spoke as he tried to understand Duke Norman's thought process, “I guess Duke Norman bet on Prince Hector and the fact that the Northern Border Town was landlocked on all sides and had no access to the outside world without a port for trade it increased his position for war. Well, personally I also prefer Hector to be king or that guy as I know for Charlie that he's a very bad guy. Felix being king will create a lot of chaos unless Lukav is dead. If Felix kills Lukav then I don't think there will be any questions. “
Lionheart said when he heard them, “As far as I know they will at most only get weapons. Not blueprints and they have to research them for a while before they can even replicate the lowest quality of a ballista. So, we don't have to worry about them getting Ballista. “
he sometimes seems very naive when he tries to openly show his disrespect to the beaming church or previous meetings where he chose to save a slave for keeping the relationship with Evan and Duke Fjord. Well, the value lies only in the one who sees it, I guess he has planned something. “
Luke asked puzzledly, “Master, why do you think there is something on his mind?”
Eanred spoke as he thought, “That's because of my instincts and experience over the years. Because if he was stupid, he wouldn't be able to make so many connections in such a short time.”

Duke and John are at Tornwall’s Workshop.
Duke then asked John, “According to you, what will happen in the city of Riverside. Since you don't seem depressed, I guess you're pretty good at hiding your emotions or you're already planning something.”
we will have a complete advantage on them with our ballista at least for some time. I've found a naval admiral for our fleet, I'm guessing you'll be able to meet him later and if you're curious the only thing I can say is that he was previously a pirate who used to attack large merchant ships. So rather than worrying about the outcome of the event in Riverside city, I would instead start preparing our naval prowess against Duke Fjord's attack because it would be the worst situation based on the events that occurred. ” So rather than worrying about the outcome of the event in Riverside city, I will instead start preparing our naval prowess against Duke Fjord's attack because it will be the worst situation based on the events that occurred. ” So rather than worrying about the outcome of the event in Riverside city, I will instead start preparing our naval prowess against Duke Fjord's attack because it will be the worst situation based on the events that occurred. “
Duke smiled and curiously asked John, “By revealing so much information to me, aren't you worried about me betraying you now or in the future?”
John spoke cheerfully, “Well, I won't worry if this is the future and for now, my instincts tell you that you can be trusted. And there's this thing called common interest that doesn't make sense for you to betray me. Well, mostly it's instinct. Let's head to the testing site, you will be able to see the weapon directly in our testing field. ”
Duke was puzzled when he asked Tornwall directly,” I heard that the Tornwall Forgemaster is a slave, where are your marks? Are you really Tornwall or someone who imitates it? “
Tornwall rubbed her nose as she said, “Actually, God freed me from my slavery just a few days ago because of my previous appearance and I guess he trusted me a lot and of course I would not betray the trust that God showed me. ”
The Duke was quite surprised after hearing this and looked at John as he nodded confirming that.
John explained seriously, “Well, Tornwall is one of the important members of my government and many officials feel very low because Tornwall is a slave, he said, but at the same time he had so much authority that they proposed to be Tornwall-free and I also felt that my most important people should not be slaves because this would have a bad impact I freed him from slavery. Well, I was just looking for an opportunity to free Taylor too. “
Tornwall later commented, “That's right, this has also solved the awkward problem of other conservative people who feel at odds because I am a slave but at the same time, I am a slave, I have so many achievements that they want to respect me for my achievements. But 'bout , I think many officials have changed their behavior towards slaves after watching Jake earlier fight Marcus and realizing their own position on what would happen if they as commoners opposed him where the Gods were they decided to support their people. “
Duke then looked at John and Tornwall as he said, “You must be careful because the dwarf kingdom is east also send their spies to this city from now on when they hear about the ballads and want to confirm its existence. This could also be confirmed by the fact that they had increased their forces and were patrolling the eastern sea of the Kingdom of Aelius. I think they may have smuggled a few ships full of spies towards Aelius. ”
Tornwall's face changed when she heard about the Dwarf kingdom because she knew that much had changed after the conspiracy years ago.
He thought, ‘I think I still can't escape from them, however, I'm glad that I chose to follow Lord John because he will definitely protect his men. ‘
Duke whispered to Tornwall, “Your master may not know your entire background and past, but I do know that. Aren't you worried about involving him in this mess.”
Tornwall spoke grimly, “Well, I trust him and he trusts me and if it depends on the matter of existence for the territory of the Gods then I will not hesitate to use my life. However, I am sure that we will only prosper here in the northern border city. I knew he would be a great king known to everyone in all fields. The fact that he treated everyone equally was his greatest trait and it would be his greatest asset in his kingdom. “
