"What, what did you say? Is, is it true?"

"I saw her with my own eyes She's with Prince Roland Wimbledon"

"With Prince Roland Wimbledon" Oro's eyes ide open "Like they're in a relationship?"

"I don't know" Oro bit his lip "But she's beco to accept witches out of the entire Kingdo on You said 'witch'?" Oro was stunned "What actually happened at that time?"

Otto Luoxi related all the details of what Andrea had experienced back then He felt the sweetness of revenge as he watched Oro torn by his e about it now because he firmly believed that the Quinns had fallen off the cliff at that time Now, Andrea would fall in love with neither of them

"That was the reason her father made it look like an unfortunate accident and had people believe that Andrea fell off the cliff" Greatly depressed, Oro threw hi the story "Darave and looking into the uy!] Oro snapped in silence "Aheent need to cheer Prince Appen up" Otto reave his friend a side look "Huh? What's the connection between these two incidents?"

"Of course there's a connection! Think about it Appen's hesitating about forive an explicit reason If the plan of joint defense fails, we'll have to fight against the church alone in the event of an attack If the church invades the Kingdohts to defend the country, won't you?" Otto asked

"Absolutely It's my duty"

"If you're killed in action, you won't see Andrea again, correct?"

"Um, it sounds kind of rational No, how can you be so sure that I'll be killed?" Oro challenged indignantly

"Even the Kingdoth and power, has been defeated by the church What're your odds of winning?" Otto ignored his friend's protest and continued, "If the church, contrarily, attacks the Kingdoht? If he's dead, Andrea will very likely die with hiht alive by the church, she'll suffer tortures more miserable than a clean death If the two nations, however, enter into an alliance and agree to offer mutual assistance, the church won't boldly launch an attack Both you and Andrea will be alive and will probably see each other in the future In this light, do you still think the alliance is significant?"

"Yes"

"We need the prince to help with that Now, do you still think the two matters are relevant?"

"Yes"

"Are you in?"

Oro answered resolutely, "Yes!"

With these words, Otto and Oro clasped each other's hands tightly

Yorko returned to his lodge, exhausted but pleased As he pushed the bedroom door open, he heard a voice from inside "You're finally back"

Yorko was shocked Who would sneak in his roodom of Dawn? Could it be Denise's husband whowhether he should run away or plead for mercy when the man lit the candle and walked to hiht

"You scared the hell out of ot to say, can't you wait till tohttime" Hill threw up his hands "Please understand that I have a habit of being cautious"

"Alright then" Although Hill was his guard, he was appointed to hiuards "Well, say what you want to say since you're already here"

"It's now a good opportunity to recruit talents adom of Wolfheart You can view it as a business and hire masons, literates, and anyone who has an expertise His Majesty will disburse you all the necessary expenses You'll get five silver royals for each person you hire"

"For God's sake, I know nothing about business! I talked to Denise just for a casual chat You don't think I'll be really trafficking refugees, do you?" Yorko put his hand on the forehead "Plus, slaves are usually traded on the border of the two nations It doesn't look nice for o there as an ambassador!"

"This is His Majesty's order," Hill said in a steady tone "You don't need to leave City of Glow Tradesh at a higher price It saves you trouble to screen them As to the business side of the matter, you can discuss with Denise Payton She's quite a well-known businesswoman around this area It's a piece of cake for her to send refugees to the Kingdom of Graycastle "We'll benefit a lot once the transportation route is deteruise ourselves as tradeser"

Yorko's jaw dropped "Have you been to the capital of the Kingdom of Dawn?"

Hill shook his head

"Then how do you know such details?"

"I was collecting information fro"

"I thought you were just a great knight I didn't know you're also a good tradesman" Yorko smacked his lips

"I'm neither a warrior nor a tradesman, but I can protect you when there's a crisis This is also what His Majesty entrusted me to do"
