The second prince turned to the cloaked figure that had fought General Wu and gave him a nod.
That cloaked figure nodded back and then took off their cloak to reveal who they were.
Everyone looked carefully at this person at first, but then they immediately realized who it was.
It was the grand general of the Ran Ster Kingdom!
With this, it was confirmed that the Ran Ster Kingdom had been working with the second prince all along!
When this fact settled in, everyone couldn''t help feeling nervous.
After all, the Ran Ster Kingdom now had a veryrge leash on the Mu Ster Kingdom as their new king owed a lot of his rule to the Ran Ster Kingdom. It was unknown how the Ran Ster Kingdom would use this card, but it was clear that they wouldn''t let it go that easily.
Many of the nobles started worrying about the future of the Mu Ster Kingdom.
But then the words of the grand general changed all these thoughts.
"The Ran Ster Kingdom sends their congrattions to the new Mu Ster King. I hope that our alliance will continue in this prosperity." As the grand general said this, he took out a box that he presented to the Mu Ster King.
The Mu Ster King gave a nod and said, "Thank you, grand general. It is an honour to continue cooperating with the Ran Ster Kingdom."
The nobles in the stands couldn''t help looking at the Ran Ster Kingdom''s grand general with confused looks.
This was normally the time when the Ran Ster Kingdom''s representatives would make their demands or at least put some pressure on the new Mu Ster King, but this wasn''t happening at all.
If they missed this chance while the Mu Ster King still hadn''t fully established his power, they would miss the chance to get the benefits that they wanted.
So why would he just act this submissive and even offer a gift to the Mu Ster King?
Could it be that the Ran Ster Kingdom didn''t n on receiving any benefits from the Mu Ster Kingdom?
But why would they help the second prince take the throne if that was the case?
That doubt didn''tst long as a special guest suddenly appeared in the arena.
Once again, everyone was shocked to see who it was…
The Ran Ster King, the newly crowned Ran Ster King!
The old Ran Ster King had stepped down two years ago and the new Ran Ster King that took over had been the first prince.
Unlike the Mu Ster Kingdom, there was no fierce session race because the Ran Ster King only had the first prince as his sessor.
He had been known as a very dedicated person and had only ever taken his queen as his wife, so he only had three children. They were the first prince and the two princesses.
After the new Ran Ster King took over, he immediately created a bunch of new policies and in just two years, the Ran Ster Kingdom''s economy had doubled.
People even imed that this was the golden age of the Ran Ster Kingdom.
The Ran Ster King walked right through the arena until he came right up to the Mu Ster King.
Everyone was tense as the two of them just stared at each other, but then they did something that shocked everyone.
The Mu Ster King and the Ran Ster King moved at the same time, reaching their hands out to grab each other''s hand before revealing smiles.
It was clear that there was an unspoken bond between the two of them…
? But that made it clear why the Ran Ster Kingdom had helped the Mu Ster King take his throne.
Going back in time a bit, when the second prince had been wandering the world in training, he had met the Ran Ster Kingdom''s first prince. The two of them had formed a team and traveled the world with their party before going back to their respective kingdoms to take over their duties.
However, the bond that they had forged during their journey together was one that hadsted even to now.
That was one of the reasons why the Ran Ster King had sent his ships to pressure the Mu Ster King and why he had sent his grand general to help the second prince.
But of course, if it was with just this, it was impossible to send all of these things even with the prestige that the Ran Ster King had. There was another reason why the Ran Ster King had gone all out to help the second prince take the throne.
This was what the Mu Ster King announced next.
"Loyal subjects, while we will not be having a war with the Ran Ster Kingdom, there is a war that is approaching."
All of the nobles in the stands and everyone watching were shocked when they heard this.
They had thought that the threat of war was gone when the Ran Ster King arrived, but now that didn''t seem to be the case…<novelnext></novelnext>
The Mu Ster King continued, "The Tai Ster Kingdom has colluded with the Bai Ster Kingdom to encroach on our Mu Ster Kingdom and Ran Ster Kingdom''snds."
When everyone heard this, their chins dropped down.
The Tai Ster Kingdom was one of the enemies of their Mu Ster Kingdom, this was something that they all knew. However, the Tai Ster Kingdom was weaker than either of their Mu Ster Kingdom or the Ran Ster Kingdom, so where had they gained the guts to attack them?
Even if they had the help of the Bai Ster Kingdom, this shouldn''t be the case since the Bai Ster Kingdom was also weaker than either of their kingdoms.
But since it was a war with weaker enemies and since they had the Ran Ster Kingdom on their side as shown by the Ran Ster King''s appearance, they were feeling confident.
The nobles no longer looked worried as they revealed opportunistic glints in their eyes.
After all, a war was a way to earn battle glory and battle glory meant increasing their rank. As long as it was an easy war, it would be easy battle glory, so they had no reason to oppose this war.
Let alone the fact that this was about defending their country, which would raise their own reputations.
This was clearly an easy win.
No one thought more deeply into why the Tai Ster Kingdom and the Bai Ster Kingdom suddenly decided to attack them, but that didn''t mean that the Ran Ster King and the Mu Ster King didn''t think about it.
They knew that there had to be a reason why the Tai Ster Kingdom and the Bai Ster Kingdom were suddenly encroaching on their borders…
There had to be something that gave them this courage…
This was the other reason why the Ran Ster King had decided to help the second prince take the throne.
He knew that the previous Mu Ster King wasn''t a reliable ally, so he wanted someone that he could trust to take his ce. Who was better than his blood brother, the second prince?
That was how he had convinced his ministers to send support for the second prince''s coup.
Seeing that the ministers were all in agreement to the war, the Mu Ster King knew that everything had gone the way that he had wanted it to go.
Now there was only one more thing for him to take care of.
The Mu Ster King couldn''t help peeking at his private viewing box with a strange look in his eyes.
…
In the viewing box, Lin Fan had calmly watched all of this happen.
Even though he was calm on the surface, he couldn''t help being shocked deep down as he couldn''t understand how the system had known about all of this. He was certain that the system had already known that this would happen, or else it wouldn''t have given him that quest.
But what shocked him even more was the name Tai Ster Kingdom.
The Tai Ster Kingdom was where the Bing Family and Huo Family that were after him were from…
If the Mu Ster Kingdom and the Ran Ster Kingdom were to fight the Tai Ster Kingdom, then wouldn''t this be a chance for him?
He also couldn''t help wondering if the system even knew about all of this…
If it did, then this must be the reason why it had wanted him to watch over the session race just so he could learn about all of this.
If the Mu Ster Kingdom and the Ran Ster Kingdom were to fight the Tai Ster Kingdom, if they were to take down the Tai Ster Kingdom, wouldn''t that help him solve his problem?
If he were to stop the Bing and Huo Families from chasing after him, wouldn''t he be able to return to his family?
This was a chance!
So Lin Fan fell into deep thought about how to process this whole thing.
He needed to figure out a way to work with the Mu Ster Kingdom, but at the same time, he had to consider Xin''er''s situation…
Or rather, should he say Mu Bao Bao…
At the very least, he was close to the second prince, so he would be able to talk to him.
But he still couldn''t figure out the strange way that the second prince looked at Xin''er.
Could that be why he wanted them toe and see what happened today?
Lin Fan looked at Xin''er with a strange look before giving a sigh.
It seemed like the only way to solve this was to meet with the second prince…no, he should be the Mu Ster King now.
