"Oh?" Dubrolf turned to the braided-hair commander and said, "There's another option? Quickly share it then, Kog."
"Yes, General," Kog complied with a nod before mentioning, "Lord Mortimer was sent to the Holy Knight Empire some time ago to negotiate a trade for His Imperial Majesty."
"Given the current special relationship between the Holy Knight Empire and the Black Rose Kingdom, it might be possible for Lord Mortimer to be openly granted access to the Black Rose Kingdom if his talk with the Holy Knight Empire goes well."
"Lord Mortimer? Mortimer Tombend? That blockhead?" Dubrolf frowned with doubts at the mention of the name.
His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Varan, was not a fool.
His Imperial Majesty should have known better than to assign Mortimer to an important mission like negotiating with foreign countries when there were far better candidates for the job.
