"Your Majesty Hattar, we have arrived late, and for that, please accept our apologies," Lynn said with a slight nod, giving the new king all due respect.
And just like a traveler who had grasped a lifesaving straw out of despair, Hattar hurriedly spoke. "Knight Lynn, the church's army has already penetrated our kingdom's borders, we must organize our forces as soon as possible to expel them from our lands!"
"Please, Your Majesty, remain calm," Lynn soothed the agitated Hattar, taking his time.
It must be said, compared to his father, King Basel, this second prince's cultivation and demeanor were severely lacking...
As for those nobles in the eastern part of the kingdom who had switched allegiances, Lynn was not surprised at all.
After all, the church's power had been long established within the kingdom, and their occupation of the capital was nothing more than a cunning move, hardly enough to win everyone over. Such a situation was within his expectations.
