“Old friend, do you still rember the business that I told you about last ti?”
Kyle nodded. This was still fresh in his mory.
“Are you referring to the king’s plan to build a small temporary palace in the northeast corner of Lolan City?”
Lorne nodded his head and then answered the group.
“It’s all about this small temporary palace. In my opinion, the current king can expand the scale of this temporary palace and directly build a large temporary palace. Then, he can move the forr king who used to live in the palace to this temporary palace
“Everything that the forr king asks for, including eating, drinking, and playing should be allowed, except for the military power and the regi of the court of course. In this way, all the civil and military officials of the court will praise the current king for being honorable and admirable.
“The forr king would also be satisfied with himself. Under a comfortable environnt, he would not think about those sches anymore.
“As for the current king, he would only need to spend so money from the national treasury and the royal family’s treasures. Plus, he would just have to visit his father every three to five days and spend so ti together. This way, wouldn’t it be a situation where everyone becos satisfied and happy? Don’t you think that this issue will be imdiately resolved?”
...
“Woah!”
Kyle was instantly shocked.
To be honest, this plan was not very complicated. On the contrary, it was a little too simple and crude.
However, such a simple plan was so simple that no one would have thought about it.
At the very least, from the mont Kyle ascended to the throne until now, during the two years, he had adopted a strategy of avoiding being in the sa room with Bidas as a way to avoid the awkward relationship he had now.
He really never thought of taking the initiative to improve his relationship with Bidas, nor did he think of improving his father’s living environnt to resolve the conflict.
However, now that he thought about it, this was indeed a good idea. After all, he and Bidas could never avoid each other forever. If that happened, he would be criticized by the world.
Only by facing this problem and making corresponding active actions would it be enough to show that he, Kyle, was an honorable person.
Of course, with a cautious ntality, Kyle still asked one more question.
“Boss, do you think this thod is really effective? Would it really be that simple to just build a temporary palace for the forr king to live in peace for the rest of his life? Would this be enough to make up for the huge battle caused by what happened in the past?”
Lorne glanced at Kyle, sowhat speechless.
“Old friend, I can’t believe I actually gave you the benefit of the doubt when I said that you were dumb, but from what you’ve just asked, I’m starting to regret my choices of thinking that way. The current king has kept the forr king in the palace for two years. Won’t you think that the forr king would feel lonely?
“Wouldn’t he want to improve his relationship with the current king? He is his own son after all. Ti can always heal everything. The only thing missing now is an opportunity. A key point for a king to take the initiative to show goodwill to the forr king.”
“After all, they are father and son. There is no reason for a father to take the initiative to lower his ego for his son. Naturally, we have to wait for the current king to give an indication. Isn’t this what it ans to build a palace and enjoy the rest of your life?”
Kyle could not help but slap his thigh hard. He appeared to be very excited.
“That makes sense. It is indeed a brilliant plan. It really ans a lot that you thought about it this way. This is the entirety of human nature. Boss, what kind of life did you live to be able to see these things so clearly at such a young age?
“Only you would be able to co up with such an idea. If the current king was really here, just by hearing your words, he would at least give you the title of being a Baron!”
Lorne straightened his back proudly and was about to praise himself. However, he suddenly beca depressed and said in a bad mood, “What’s the use of saying such nonsense? Aren’t the three of you the only ones who heard this?”
Kyle smiled and said, “Don’t worry, boss. I’ll send soone to do so to pass the ssage and see if I can dedicate these words to King Kyle. When the ti cos, you’ll definitely be known to the world and your ambitions would flourish!”
Before he could finish, Lorne raised his hand and interrupted him.
“Co on, old friend. Last ti, you said that you would recomnd to be an official. This ti, you say that you would directly tell the king. Your other abilities may not be considered great, but your bragging skills are really first-class. You should simr down and humble yourself. Don’t bite off more than you can chew.”
Rosen and Andrew felt their stomachs ache when they saw Lorne’s look of complete disbelief.
This young man was extrely intelligent in every aspect. He was so outstanding that it made people feel afraid. However, how could he not see through the disguise of the three of them? Why did he not believe his friend at all?
Not only that, but Lorne even patted Kyle’s shoulder.
“But in the end, what can I say, you’re the one who has nothing better to do. You’re either concerned about so important matters in the palace, or you’re concerned about so royal family matters. It’s as if you’re one of them.
“Those who aren’t sure of who you are would think that you’re a palace minister, or that you have so royal bloodline. Who would have thought that you’re actually an ordinary rchant?
“Isn’t it good to have the ti to think about how to make a fortune instead?”
Kyle smiled embarrassedly and did not reply. After the few of them sat back down and drank another round of wine, there was almost no food left on the table.
Andrew estimated the ti and took the initiative to remind Kyle, “Old pal, it’s getting late. Don’t we have to go back and think about the deal that we just sent out of the city?”
Kyle was stunned for a mont, then quickly nodded.
“Ann is right. It’s indeed getting late. Let’s stop here, for now, we can co back another day.”
As he spoke, Kyle took out a few silver coins from his money bag. Lorne quickly glared at him.
“Old friend, didn’t we agree that today would be my treat? Why are you still being so polite to ? Take it back, I don’t want to see it.”
It was not that Lorne did not like money, but since he had agreed that he would treat them, he might as well go all the way. This could also be considered a long-term investnt. In the future, these rchants would beco his loyal and unwavering custors.
However, Kyle still stubbornly put the money on the table.
“Lorne, we know that you have good intentions, but we know that it’s not easy for you to make a living in Lolan. You must accept this money. Today, you can still count it as us ordering food and wine. Besides, you’ve told us so much just now. It’s really benefited us a lot. Let’s treat this money as us paying for the stories you’ve shared.”
Lorne pondered for a mont and then accepted the money half-heartedly.
“If you say so, old friend. If that’s the case, then each of you should take a jar of strong wine ho. Let’s treat it as treating you guys to a drink.”
When Lorne suggested this, only then did Kyle and the others gladly accept it.
Rosen smiled and said, “Boss, why don’t you bring a few more jars? I’ll send a few friends over so that they can co over to eat and drink with you next ti.”
Lorne clapped his hands and spoke very straightforwardly, “No problem. If you ask for it, I have no reason to refuse!”
With that, he ran to the wine cabinet and directly brought out a few jars.
“You guys won’t be able to take much, just these five or six jars, so it’ll fit one in each hand.”
After Lorne and the others took two jars each, they were ready to leave the tiny tavern.
