Aidan (Prince of Altland): "To tell you the truth, before I set out, my father had already conferred upon me the status of Crown Prince. Now, in the name of the future King of Altland, I relieve you of your duties. I shall personally assume the role of Fleet Commander until the mission is complete."
Earl Denis's eyes bulged, "This, this... this is madness!" He was so outraged that he couldn't speak, but he instinctively believed what Prince Aidan had said; even though he harbored a sliver of doubt, it was quickly extinguished.
Dalabumba and Sieglet were also shocked, but at a loss for words.
And indeed, leaving with the entire fleet would certainly feel more imposing.
Mo Fei nodded at Roland, the knight standing beside him, "Roland, send someone to summon the captains. Earl Denis, to prevent any mishaps, please stay here and wait for my further instructions. Dalabumba, Sieglet, keep an eye on him, and if he dares to cause trouble, you know what to do."
