Chapter 54: The Arrivals From Spartan Kingdom!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the next two to three days, there were servants coming and going from the palace and outside the palace from time to time to report the progress of the preparatory work to Kyle.

A few manors had been found, and a batch of manpower had been recruited. They were just waiting for Kyle to check and see if they were suitable.

However, just as Kyle was about to do something big, something directly disrupted his schedule.

An urgent report from the border was sent to Kyle’s desk.

The Spartan Kingdom sent a team of emissaries to conduct exchanges between the two countries with the Lolan Empire. It also indicated that this team of emissaries carried the national certificate that belonged to the official diplomatic mission.

The request from the border was to ask if this team of emissaries would be allowed to enter the border.

This incident happened suddenly and directly stunned Kyle. However, even though he was dumbfounded, Kyle still had to treat this matter seriously.

Having a national letter meant that this was an official exchange. This was related to the highest rankings between the two kingdoms.

Moreover, the kingdom that sent this diplomatic mission was the Spartan Kingdom, which was the largest force on the west side of the Lolan Empire.

Although it was far from the Lolan Empire in terms of population and economy, it was at least one of the large neighboring countries.

In terms of foundation and combat strength, they were even stronger than the Bora Kingdom, far surpassing the small countries like the Sguta Kingdom and the Kama Ice Kingdom.

For such a team of envoys sent by such a reputable country, all the emperors and ministers of the Lolan Empire needed to treat them with courtesy, and Kyle was no exception.

Although he was anxious to make money and get into the business of refining crude salt, his primary identity was the king of the Lolan Empire. Of course, his priority should be to deal with the affairs of the palace firsthand.

So even if he was worried, he could only put other matters aside for the time being and let the servants under him handle it first. They would discuss it after the matter of the ambassador from the Spartan Kingdom was settled.

…

Within an hour after receiving the urgent report from the border, Kyle gathered all the important ministers under him and gathered together to discuss this matter.

Kyle sat at the head of the table, with Rosen, Andrew, and the others on the other two sides.

First, he passed the urgent report to all the ministers to read, and then Kyle asked.

“My dear ministers, what do you think about the matter of the envoy from the Spartan Kingdom?”

Abner immediately stood up and said, “Your Majesty, although I don’t know why the Spartan Kingdom sent the envoy.

“But I would like to think that the entire Lolan Empire should fully display the friendly attitude of a country of etiquette towards the diplomatic mission of the Spartan Kingdom.

“After all, this is a year of peace. There is no war between the Lolan Empire and the Spartan Kingdom, and the relationship between the two countries should be considered harmonious and friendly.

“The Lolan Empire is a country of etiquette, and naturally has a graceful bearing and magnanimity. Since the Spartan kingdom has displayed friendly intentions, we should return the favor with courtesy. Otherwise, it would not be in line with the identity of the morals of our Lolan Empire.

“Therefore, regarding the visit of the official diplomatic mission of the Spartan Kingdom, I suggest that we treat it with the etiquette of a diplomatic relationship between the two countries. His Majesty should personally meet a few ambassadors and vice ambassadors of the diplomatic mission from spartan Kingdom during the court meeting.”

As Abner’s position and duties were basically equivalent to that of the prime minister in the court. He had the power to advise and understand these matters, big and small.

When Abner said this, Kyle nodded, but he was still full of misgivings.

“That makes sense. It’s just that my imperial court did not receive any notice before this. The Spartan Kingdom had sent out a team of emissaries out of the blue, which really puzzles me as to why.”

When Kyle said this, Allen immediately stood up.

“What Your Majesty is worried about is actually not unreasonable. This is actually the first time our Lolan Empire has come into contact with the Spartan Kingdom. What exactly their purpose is, is actually still unknown.

“Whether the Spartan Kingdom really wants to interact with our Lolan Empire, or whether they have other thoughts, these are all worth speculating about.

“We must be on guard against any other hidden motives of the Spartan Kingdom. If it’s disadvantageous to our Lolan Empire, then we should deal with it as quick as possible!”

After hearing this, everyone’s expressions could not help but become solemn.

Alan’s words were definitely not just for fun, it was true that something serious could happen.

The Spartan Kingdom could truly be considered a threat. It had only been a few years since then, and there were even many people there who claimed themselves as tribes.

All along, they have been wandering outside of the empire’s territory and were not valued at all. There were also no small tribes that the large countries would take seriously. Even the previous empire only could take care of them for a while. If they did not want to take care of them, they could not be bothered with them. One should know that the strength of the Spartan Kingdom long ago used to be very weak.

However, in such a short period of time, they had conquered many lands. All the forces were subdued and they quickly rose to the top of the food chain.

It was obviously not very smart for such a force to treat them as barbarians who did not know anything. Therefore, this time, it was almost certain that the ambassador from the Spartan Kingdom had other motives.

The social-political aspects between countries were a very complicated matter. A single incident could affect the whole country, and there were too many things to consider. It was not up to Kyle and the others to be careless.

Kyle, who was sitting at the top, immediately stood up and paced back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back.

“What you said was right. The Spartan Kingdom is a foreign country, not a native of the central plains.

“It’s been eleven years since our Lolan Empire was founded. Other than the chaotic times in the early years, there were still a few years of peace and tranquility.

“But the Spartan kingdom has chosen to come at this juncture. If it is said to be unintentional, I absolutely do not believe it.

“As the saying goes, those who come are not kind, and those who are kind do not come. All ministers must remember this and must not slack off at such an important time.”

These important ministers in the palace stood up one after another and bowed to Kyle, indicating that they would remember this order in their hearts.

“In that case, let’s draft a decree.

“Let the border defense send hundreds of people along with the delegation of the Spartan Kingdom. Protect the safety of the people from the Spartan Kingdom along the way. Order all the cities along the way to open up the roads and not to stop them.

“On the side of the Missionary Church, the bishop will preside over it. Before the diplomats of the Spartan Kingdom arrive in Lolan City, make sure that all the etiquette and welcoming ceremony are prepared as such. There must be no mistakes.

“Order the imperial guards and the Pegasus Knights in the palace to strengthen the security in the palace and increase the guards that are on patrol.

“Order all the guards to ensure security in Silk City. Whoever dares to cause trouble for me in this time of importance shall not be forgiven!”

Rosen and the other ministers stood up one after another and bowed to Kyle.

“We accept your orders, Your Majesty!”

Then, they walked out of Kyle’s study one after another…

After everyone left, Kyle’s cold and stern face disappeared. He let out a long sigh and half-lay on his chair.

“Spartan Spartan. It’s always good to come here, but you just had to come at such an inconvenient time.

“You have delayed my great plan to make a fortune. I will have to wait a little longer before I can make big money and realize the freedom of internal wealth!

“I hope Lorne is able to wait a little longer for this dream to come true!”
