General Anglius was also surprised by the old man's composure. There was no hesitation or doubt in his words. He did not try to use tricks but explained his reasons clearly and humbly, acknowledging his limitations and respecting greater power.
No matter how you looked at him, Alonz was clearly a trained diplomat and someone who could be very helpful in the next phase of their plans.
The middle-aged general turned toward Vlad, and upon seeing the young man nod and smile, his imposing aura relaxed, and a friendly expression appeared on his face. "Sir Alonz, there is no need to worry. Your actions are not considered an insult to our King. In fact, we need someone like you in the next phase of building our kingdom, and we are willing to give you a meaningful position and authority."
