When Voran heard Stuart's answer, he closed his eyes. They were face to face, only separated by a table. Outside the room there were several guards as well as Gris Hainz guarding it. Beside Voran was a sword and he could reach it in just a few seconds, so he wasn't too worried about danger. Although Stuart is not a man who looks dangerous, he always puts his own safety first, especially since the world he now lives in is very different.
Stuart's refusal was unpleasant, but was he supposed to force it? Voran knew if he did anything too much to him it would only have a bad effect. He was really being careful at this point as his desire to make Stuart his subordinate was getting higher and higher. Although the man didn't say much, he felt that his intelligence really wasn't just nonsense.
"Your Majesty wants me to become a leader of the Intelligence Department? Doesn't His Majesty find it inappropriate? I'm just a commoner and not royalty. My abilities are also not too much, then is it appropriate that Your Majesty give this person the position?" Stuart didn't think that Voran's gift was wise. Besides, he knew very well that many noble families were holding the government which would only make things worse.
"Yes, you heard right, Stuart. It is like that. The Nobles were still the most important part of the Salauster Kingdom for now. While they are useful, they are also hidden problems that I need to get rid of as early as possible. That's why I need talented people to help me change this kingdom. You must already know how the state of the kingdom after the war at that time. There's no need for me to explain." Voran gave an unusual look in his eyes as he said that.
Hearing those words, Stuart was unable to reply and he fell silent for a moment. Truly the feelings he had right now were so chaotic that he could neither refuse nor accept it. Every choice had its risks and he thought about it carefully. Stuart couldn't refuse it because it was an offer directly given by the king and secondly, he felt the plan offered was quite good. On the other hand he felt that if he accepted it, the current problem would only get worse and there would be many hidden currents in the kingdom itself.
Voran didn't speak anymore and he just stared at Stuart for a long time. He didn't know whether Stuart would accept his offer or not. However, meeting him was already giving its own advantages. From this meeting, in the future a strong intelligence department will be formed and its influence is very wide.
The meeting didn't last long, and Voran learned something helpful from the meeting. Voran also felt that this kingdom was not as good as it looked. There's too much bad stuff going on in the dark area. Although he only heard from one side and from the other he only saw it, Voran concluded one small thing. It was true that he needed an intelligence group that would provide him with various kinds of detailed information. Moreover, he must also be the absolute and immediate leader of the group.
It was impossible for him not to change the government structure. His meeting with Stuart gave him an idea as well as made him understand that the existence of the Nobles in his kingdom was not profitable and even caused a lot of detrimental problems. Therefore, he could not tolerate their existence, only that he could neither directly show his displeasure nor give a direct order to destroy any of these Nobles.
Gradually he began to devise a precise plan to wipe out their existence, it should be subtle but it would also give them a luxury in itself. Voran couldn't help but think about his conflict with the Arannor Kingdom, even though they had a military that couldn't be called weak. They remained strong in other respects, therefore he could not arbitrarily use military orders against them. In addition, the lack of information about the kingdom is a disadvantage as well as a drawback. He really needed all the information about the kingdom.
"Ah… what a shame!! Why is this kingdom's intelligence group so bad? Doesn't anyone realize that information can be a deadly card? This pissed me off. I also can't change anything in this place according to my will as long as the Nobles stay entrenched in this place. I must immediately eliminate the seeds that can bring this kingdom to ruin as quickly as possible. Even if they have been rooted for a long time, they can still be crushed by me!!"
Voran couldn't ignore the Nobles who had gone too far and he wanted to destroy them all so much that he started planning everything. Relates the conflict between his kingdom and the Arannor Kingdom as well as his interests in rebuilding his kingdom. Voran already had the best idea, of course he needed other people's opinions and views before actually executing this plan.
Hence, he summoned Veus and Fasuk, of course he also involved Stuart. He should have also summoned the last Royal Pillar, unfortunately the man was not out of place yet, and Voran had no desire to bother him. Voran understood and had heard that the man was the strongest and highest cultivator in the Kingdom. It was just that he had a very different attitude to that of the other two pillars. It could be said that he was more concerned with himself especially when it came to cultivation.
Therefore, Voran didn't bother the man and let him do whatever he pleased, including strengthening himself. After all, in the end he will also benefit. Voran gathered the three of them together and explained his plan in detail to change the state and status of the Salauster Kingdom. However, he also postponed his plans until the diplomats he sent back and reported the answers from the Elaydric Kingdom.
He couldn't move until he heard the news. He needed to come up with a backup plan just in case this plan failed. Inevitably, he needed to know how the Elaydric Kingdom's attitude towards his kingdom was. If he wanted to start that plan, he needed to know how the other kingdoms were doing, that way things would go faster and safer. He cannot move properly if he is blind to his surroundings. A thorough plan requires careful preparation as well.
"Did you understand what I said earlier? It might not be the best way, but it's a pretty good plan, right? We let them decide their lives and we reap what we can get!!" Voran smiled warmly as he said that, but in the eyes of the three of them that warm smile carried a chill in their bodies.
