"Your Royal Highness, your performance just now is truly amazing!"

"Thanks for the compliment. But it's also my little nephew who cooperates well. If he hadn't cooperated, I wouldn't have had the chance to perform like that. ”

"No, no, no, excellent people are like stars in the night, they will definitely shine. Dark clouds can cover the stars temporarily, but how can they cover it permanently?"

"Ha, I'm a little ashamed of what you said. So, what's next for you?"

"Let's take a look at the orcs for now. If they can't put enough pressure on Thrace, then we don't have to do anything. Only if they can put enough pressure on Thrace will it be necessary for us to follow up. ”

The light of the communication crystal on the table slowly dimmed, and no more voices came from inside. Prince Jon sat behind his desk, watching the crystal silent for a long time, and finally smiled, but said nothing.

Then, he went to the martial arts training ground again.

What happened inside the Great Council of Thrace was soon known to the traversers. Everyone was a little puzzled by Prince Jon's statement—they had the impression that the prince was really a typical person who lived like a seaweed drifting with the tide, and had little presence to speak of other than the dragon slaying incident.

Therefore, everyone was very surprised to learn that this guy with a sense of existence like an asteroid would actually jump out and taunt the king.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Literally, he's mocking. ”

"I know he's mocking, but why is he mocking?"

"I'm not him, how do I know why he's mocking?"

Conversations like this are the traversers' analysis of Prince Jon.

It's no wonder that they, unlike ordinary people, have long had a preconceived impression of Prince Jörne, and when Prince Jon's behavior is completely different from the stereotype, they don't know where to go better than ordinary people.

A few days later, Kazune, the librarian who usually never leaves the castle, arrives in the city of Tara Khan and finds Jaime Edward, who is still an instructor.

“...... That's pretty much it, what do you think Jon's was thinking?"

Jaime looked at him with some surprise, "Could it be that you, as a sage among the Inhumans, don't even know what he thinks?"

"We're just human beings. "We do have great power, and we do know a lot of things that others don't know. But this is the accumulation of years, not the ability of us to 'know everything' beyond ordinary people. If we don't have access to information, we don't react more keenly than ordinary people, and we don't know more about what is happening in our time than ordinary people. ”

"Let's say, like this one. We don't know as much about Jon Thrace as you did about you, who was once his best friend. ”

Jaime suddenly realized, thought for a moment, and said, "In my opinion, Jonn wants to make his presence known and fight for a chance to withdraw from the kingdom of Thrace. ”

As a prince of Thrace, even if he is only a court nobleman, at least he has no shortage of status and wealth. Why would he want to quit?"

"Probably because politics is dangerous. Jaime said, "I don't think I need to say much about what that guy Richard has done." His son, who was raised by the King of Assassins, is a man of character. If I'm right, Jon must be pessimistic about his future. So of course he wanted to find an opportunity to quit the Thracian kingdom, even if he returned to the steppe to be a hermit and herd cattle and sheep for a living, at least he was still alive. ”

"Is his situation so dangerous?" Kazune asked in surprise, "Are you overthinking?"

"I think it's a bit of an exaggeration, but I can't think of any other explanation. ”

Kazune took his leave and told everyone about James's judgment.

The traversers had a lot of discussion about this, with many feeling that Jaime was taking the problem too seriously, and others feeling that Jaime was right.

That night, Sheen Kaolin, the leader of a rock band living in Thrace, simply took advantage of the darkness to visit Prince Jon.

On the way to the Prince's mansion, he noticed that there were many spies nearby and had been keeping an eye on the place. Although these spies are not able to detect him who has hidden his tracks using the high-level stealth scroll, it is completely impossible for ordinary people to evade their surveillance.

(It seems...... James Edward's analysis is not entirely unreasonable...... ）

With this in mind, when he met Prince Jon, he did not directly ask the most important question, but asked: "Your Royal Highness, do you know that there is a large group of spies around your mansion?"

"How many?" asked Prince Jon, not in the slightest surprise or panic, but smiled with interest.

"I didn't count them carefully, but there were always a dozen. ”

"Ha, the number has really increased. Prince Jon smiled and said, "There used to be only four or five. ”

"What the hell is going on? Do you know why?"

"Roughly know. Prince Jon nodded, "But...... Can I trust you?"

He looked at Sheen Kaolin solemnly: "If you can give me a clear answer, then I can also give you an answer." If not, then tonight we'll just drink and eat. ”

Sheehan smiled: "Don't dare to say anything else, I'm still somewhat confident in the tightness of my mouth." ”

Prince Jonn also smiled: "That's fine." Let's have a drink together and explain the questions you are curious about one by one. ”

After three rounds of drinking, he began to tell his story.

Sheehan was fairly clear about him, but he didn't know anything about his mental journey. Listening to him tell his thoughts, I couldn't help but nod my head again and again.

“...... That's pretty much it. When Prince Jonne had finished speaking, he let out a long breath, as if to spit out the depression in his heart, "Actually, I also know that the chances of success in this plan are not very good. But for me, even if the plan fails, it is death at best. It's easier than waiting for my cold nephew to grow up and kill me, isn't it?"

Sheehan was silent, he thought for a long time, and then said, "You know what? Actually, James Edward is still alive. ”

"What?!"

"Jaime has been living incognito in Tara Khan all these years. "However, when the huge piece of space debris that sealed Richard exploded, he was just around and watched it coldly." ”

"And what about him now?" asked Prince Jon, hurrying.

"Of course, he still lives a quiet life of incognito. Sheehan smiled and said, "So, actually...... It's not like you're out of options. ”

Prince Jon's eyes lit up and he smiled pleasantly.
