Chapter 120

Mia and Sion Reach the Same Conclusion!

“Let’s not stand around here... Let’s talk in the hall for the time being.”

Mia and company followed Lambert into the manor.

“Well, come in please, you are very welcome. Although it’s not my house.”

Lambert spoke with an air of nonchalance and walks with the elegant stride of a noble.

“Hmmm, the office should be here on the back...”

Inside a magnificent door was a luxurious room that was more than opulent enough to be called the mayor’s office. A simple chandelier was hanging on the ceiling but it was made of highly transparent crystal that dazzled from the light of the outside.

“They got all those taxes from us and this is what they spent it on?”

After shrugging in dismay, Lambert arrogantly sat down on the mayor’s chair in front of the office desk.

“It’s probably expensive, but it’s not very comfortable to sit in.”

“Brother! Enough of this! What’s the point of all of this? What will this accomplish?”

“Shut up, Lynsha. I’m not going to talk about politics with you, a woman. It’s futile.”

Lambert leaned farther into his chair that he was looking down at Lynsha from his nose.

That reminds me. The Kingdom of Remno is very male-dominated where women don’t have a place.

Mia’s opinion of Lambert just plummeted. Well, it wasn’t that high in the first place anyway.

“I’m more interested in these people you have brought.”

Lambert stared at Mia and Sion’s faces in turn, then smiled softly.

In fact, Sion has not seen the plight of the people themselves. But if the king has put his loyal vassal to prison, then it is something that he certainly cannot overlook.

“If my country does support the side of the rebels, I don’t think there is any guarantee that you will be able to hold up until help arrives.”

Lambert smiled at Sion’s words.

“This is located halfway between the royal capital and Count Donovan’s territory. I’m sure you can now understand the strategic importance of this place...”

“Are you going to isolate the Diamond Legion from the royal capital by hitting them logistically?”

Sion thought while folding his arms.

Of course, this is still in the Kingdom of Remno. It is possible to receive supply from the surroundings even if it is separated from the royal capital. However, it will take time to make such arrangements. This will result in temporary confusion and lowering of the morale of the soldiers. It seemed the revolutionaries led a revolt in this town with the full knowledge of using its strategic importance...

I was under the impression that they were just a disorganized militia. Was I wrong?

Alarm bells were ringing off Sion’s head.

Frontman and firebrand, huh? I can’t say anything of certainty yet. He seems to be a man who knows what he is doing. I can’t underestimate him.

In Sion’s head, the warning bells kept on ringing loudly.

On the other hand, what was on Mia’s head...

My! Cookies! It’s also finely crafted!

She was inwardly applauding the arrival of her long-awaited sweets. She popped one into her mouth before anyone else can say anything. She held her cheeks in sensuous pleasure as the sweetness of the cookies melt within her mouth.

Impressed by how good the cookies were, Mia looked towards Lambert.

He seems to be a man who knows what he is doing. I can’t underestimate him.

Curiously, Mia and Sion reach the same conclusion.
