The two returned back to Cairo's lab in a short time and some information about Kral is already present in there. As of now, they are currently in the library where a black device was already readied by the servants/slaves
The device was only a circular shape and it looks like a magic phone. The only difference was that it only contained information and it doesn't have that much of a function
Cairo taps the device and a screen immediately appeared and he starts reading some information about Kral and he poured all of his attention and focus towards it
The man's name was Kral Dar and he is an illegitimate son of a Baron in the Bloodflow Kingdom. Kral originally lived with his mother that was an ex-maid in the Baron's Clan but when he was ten years old, his mother died and his father took him in
However, although the Dar Clan is a Nobility, Kral did not have a good life. In fact, his life was practically hell. At least when his mother was still alive, he had a person that loves him unlike when he entered his father's clan
In the Dar Clan, since his position is low due to being an illegitimate son, a lot of people often bullied him especially because of his appearance
No one knows what illness does Kral has but all of his body veins can be seen. That was one of the main reason he was often bullied but despite all the bad things he had experienced, he grew up into a kind man
Krala often visited orphanages when he was 11 years old to 14 years old and since he is still his father's child, he was given some pocket money. To other Nobles, his money was like spare changes but to poor people, it was a huge wealth
Kral often donated to the other orphanages through food to make sure that they are well-fed. However, a strange disease suddenly appeared from the kids in the orphanage causing all of them to die
This left Kral devastated but he soon recovered. After a year when the kids in the orphanages died, he starts his business and he was just 15 fifteen years old at that time
Kral decided to start his business with a blood pill that can increase people's defenses against diseases. Many people thought that it was because he doesn't want the same thing that happened to the kids in the orphanage to happen towards other people
Years and years had passed and when Kral becomes 25 years old, the bullying towards him finally started to stop. He helped a lot of civilians and it causes the people to love him
A single civilian isn't that much but when all of them raised their voice, it would surely affect even those people at the top of the pyramid
Some people think that Kral helps the normal citizens so that they will help him to become untouchable but most people still think that he does that because he is a genuinely kind person
Since Kral gained the masses' support, he starts to further grow his business. If he does that when he was still nobody, a lot of people in power would surely make a move towards him
Unfortunately for them, Kral is simply too kind and he helps a lot of people to the point that his name spread wide in the whole Bloodflow Kingdom. A lot of people supported him including the kind-hearted Nobilities
He still doesn't have that solid of a backing but if someone touches him, then they need to face serious consequences. If the offender is another merchant, few people would choose to buy from them. If they are Nobles or officials, public opinion towards them would deteriorate. If they are the military then people would think that they are abusing their power
All those people with high power suddenly found themselves being shackled and they can only watch as Kral grew his business. The public is already in favor of him and since his good's prices are also low as it was his way of 'helping other people', most of the Bloodflow's citizens would choose to buy from him if they can
When Kral was thirty years old, he practically already dominated the market of Bloodflow Kingdom to the point that even the Royals cannot touch him easily as his roots are already deeply rooted in the Kingdom
After that, Kral starts trading with other Kingdoms and his trading with them benefited his own homeland. The Bloodflow Kingdom become friends with other Kingdoms and they gained huge supports
Foreign products were sold to the Bloodflow Kingdom at a lower price and this made the King to also took a liking to Kral
Kral even gained a position that perhaps only Bloodflow Kingdom has. He became the Kingdom's Chief Merchant. It was not a position without power as he can join the King and the officials in their meetings. His opinion would often be asked since a merchant needs to have a smart brain
Cairo stops reading after knowing the general information about Kral and he closes his eyes for a few minutes to organize his thoughts. The gears in his mind steadily worked and Cairo tried to find loopholes in the story about Kral's life
When Cairo opened his eyes, he turned to look at Del that was already ready for any of his question or orders
"Del, if you are the King would you let someone become too influential that almost every citizen in the Kingdom loves them?" Cairo asked and Del shook his head at that
"Certainly not. Royal Families are Royal Families, not just because the Kingdom's first King is their ancestors. All Royal Families have a strength that they hold to keep their position. After all, mages are smart, they wouldn't follow a King just because they are a descendant of a King that already died long ago "
"Royal Families would not let their authority be threatened by everyone. After all, not everything can be done through sheer force. If someone gained enough reputation to have the Kingdom's citizens have a revolution, that would be disastrous"
"Even if the Royal Family was angered so much that they would kill their citizens, what is the use of a Kingdom without people? Even if they can kill a few to make the others fearful, public opinion would just be more against them and if someone with a good mouth appeared, it can cause the citizens to proudly throw their lives if it meant that the Monarchy will fall "
Cairo nodded his head at that. Del is really not just a simple guard, Cairo only asked him a single question but he already has a lot of insights that would help the kid
"Then why? Why does the King let Kral have this kind of power? He was even given a formal position" Cairo asked in confusion
"Young Master, what I'm about to say is something that you can't easily say in public, please bear this in mind" Del starts and Cairo nodded his head. Cairo knows that there are things that a group of people knows but do not directly say. Similar to the hidden rules that a certain place has
"Kral's power had the biggest increase when he was 25 to 30 years old but the Bloodflow Kingdom was forced to focus their attention on their natural enemies that are the bloodthirsty beasts and plants in their domain"
"During that time, those beasts and plants grew to their fullest strength and the Royal Family needs to focus on eradicating them. It was at that time that Kral also launch his personal serum"
"It was cheap but also effective and the Royal Family can only buy it from him if they want to suffer lesser casualties. Kral said that he made the serum because he wants lesser people to die from the non-stop battles but some people also thinks that he does that to make more people like him "
"His serum helps a lot with the fight against the enemies and that causes his popularity to reach its peak. The Bloodflow Kingdom is also not that stupid, instead of antagonizing Kral, they decided to be on his good side"
"What the Royal Family least needs the most is an internal strife since they have constant enemies where it could threaten them if left alone. In some ways, the Royals were forced to forge a good relationship with him. However, Kral really doesn't do anything bad and no scandal about him was found out and it causes most people to think that he really is just kind "
"But since this is a matter concerning a Royal Family of a Kingdom, it is not good to talk about it in public. Only those who are smart and realizes it along with the people that have high enough position knows of this"
Cairo entered another deep thought because of Del's words and he starts formulating a plan inside his head but he still needs more information
"Have someone enter the Bloodflow Kingdom, I want them to personally investigate what the citizens think of Kral. My next actions would be based on that"
Cairo ordered and Del as usual did his best to accomplish it
