Matchmaking

Azheba felt that he had nothing to be ashamed of because he had never pledged allegiance to the Dragon King and he had also made it clear that the lord he served would always be Prince Duodun.

But he still couldn't feel at ease when he walked out of the tent.

Duodun didn't make a decision in front of the crowd. He had said that he needed to meet the Dragon King in person first. If it had been the former Azheba, he would have taken every word of the prince's words to heart along with the rest of the company. But now, he couldn't help thinking about the situation a little more. He vaguely realized that the prince had a strong hostility towards the Dragon King, and that his suggestion was likely to exacerbate that hostility.

From am objective point of view, Azheba felt that his proposal was blameless. For a person like the Dragon King, one could only choose between confrontation and attachment. Any vacillation would be easily seen through by the Dragon King.
