"I must admit, Your Excellency, I have never quite understood this matter."
The middle-aged, chubby merchant looked puzzled and then continued, "The citizens of Crystal Kingdom seem to have a strong dislike for General Burt, who hails from their own land, the Coldflame Kingdom."
"So that's why Merchant Ayla Howard kept silent earlier?"
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, pondering in his heart, "That being said,
it is understandable for those Coldflame traditional nobles, who pride themselves on their lineage, to look down upon Burt, who comes from a foreign land.
But even the local residents of Crystal Kingdom share this sentiment, which is rather intriguing.
As such, just as I suspected earlier,
there must be a hidden and untold past behind Giant Axe General Burt that he does not want to be revealed.
This can also be corroborated by the fact that Joshua, who has a close relationship with Burt, knows nothing about his past."
