That's right, but the First Legion's Commander, Mr. Kajia, and the Prime Minister, Mr. Mester, have both sent me private messages to support me. If I can safely return to the country, I can borrow their strength. By then, I won't be afraid. "
Rena saw the disappointment on Kaede Sato's face and immediately panicked. She quickly revealed some more confidential information.
However, as soon as she said it, she immediately regretted it.
She wasn't stupid. Although Kajia and Mester had sent her private messages saying that they would help her return to the country, she still hadn't seen the two ministers loyal to her father send anyone to help her.
In this situation, the first guess was that the two of them were restrained by the feudal forces represented by her uncle and couldn't send anyone to help her. The second guess was that the two of them didn't intend to help her in the first place.
But no matter which guess it was, it wasn't a good result. Revealing it would only put her in a more disadvantageous position.
"To be honest, I don't think highly of you. Although the conditions you offered are very tempting, the risk is too great. I'm only one person and I can't go against an entire country."
"If you ask me, you've actually found the wrong person. Your biggest support right now isn't me. It's always been by your side."
"Yes, that's right. You should seek help from the Alliance. As long as the Alliance is willing to help, all problems will be easily solved."
As expected, when Kaede Sato heard Rena's words, he shook his head again and turned to Regu with a serious expression.
He had to admit that Rena's conditions were very tempting. She was actually willing to give him a noble title and promised to give him a piece of land.
However, when he gradually understood the situation Rena was facing, especially when he realized that the kingdom's princess in front of him was actually a political newbie, he began to retreat.
It couldn't be helped. If Rena couldn't grow quickly and eliminate her political opponents with thunderous means, or if she didn't have reliable ministers to help her manage the country, the things she promised would only be a castle in the air.
Judging from the current situation, it was impossible for Rena to grow up quickly unless she had cheats. Otherwise, it would take her a long time to become a qualified politician.
As for reliable ministers, if the Army Commander and the Prime Minister that Rena mentioned were really willing to help her, even if they couldn't send a Heavenly King Stage powerhouse, they could at least send some Quasi-Heavenly King Stage trainers to support her.
But now, Kaede Sato didn't see them lending a helping hand. He reckoned that the two ministers who entrusted Princess Rena to him didn't think highly of her and had long since become disloyal.
Hence, in Kaede Sato's opinion, the current Lancaster Kingdom was a massive whirlpool, and he would probably drown if he were to jump into it alone with Rena.
Of course, there was always a way out. He keenly sensed that there was a very effective way to help Rena, and that was to seek help from the Alliance. As long as the Alliance was willing to help, the Lancaster Kingdom's current problems would be child's play.
However, no matter if it was Rena or Lei Gu, the two of them had clearly chosen to ignore this huge help because of the agreement between the Lancaster Kingdom and the Alliance.
"Cough ~ Apologies, Mr. Kaede Sato. Actually, Princess Rena has already said that this matter is actually considered an internal conflict within the Lancaster Kingdom, and the Alliance has no right to interfere. At most, we can escort Her Highness back to the kingdom, but we can't interfere with anything that happens after Her Highness enters the kingdom."
As expected, when Lei Gu saw Kaede Sato looking over, he immediately explained.
Although it wasn't the first time Rena heard Lei Gu say this, she couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression when she heard it again.
In fact, she had requested help from the Alliance many times, but the Alliance rejected her with the excuse of the Alliance's agreement. She didn't even have the chance to meet with the Alliance's upper echelons. After so many fruitless attempts, she was naturally disappointed with the Alliance.
"Of course I know that, but that doesn't mean Princess Rena can't hire you to protect her. Since Princess Rena has so much money, why don't you choose to spend money to hire the Alliance's powerhouses to escort you back to the kingdom? Actually, I feel like you guys are too stubborn and forgot to be flexible."
"Moreover, Princess Rena is now the legal successor of a kingdom. Theoretically speaking, you already have the right to represent the kingdom to negotiate with the Alliance. You can totally ask the Alliance as your ally to help you set things right."
"Of course, if you really can't find the Alliance's upper echelons, I suggest you find Captain Lei Gu beside you. I heard he's old friends with Fengyuan's Dragon King, Yuanzhi."
Kaede Sato's face revealed a strange expression when he heard Lei Gu's words, but he still said what he thought.
"Actually, when you said that you've requested help from the Alliance many times to no avail, it's very likely your enemies are obstructing you. To be honest, your whereabouts have been exposed many times, so what you've done will definitely be discovered by your enemies."
In the end, he used telepathy to speak to Rena alone.
In fact, Rena and Lei Gu couldn't be blamed for not thinking of this.
Rena was very well protected by her father. She lived abroad since she was young. Apart from returning to the Lancaster Kingdom during festivals, she spent most of her time overseas. She didn't participate in any power struggles, so she naturally didn't know anything about political transactions.
She was a flower that grew up in a greenhouse. Although she matured a lot along the way, politics wasn't something she was born with.
Back then, Regu didn't hold a post in the Alliance precisely because he didn't like politics. He was a typical sea man with a straightforward personality. That was why he didn't think too much about it and only rigidly adhered to the contents of the Alliance Agreement.
At this moment, Kaede Sato, as an outsider, saw the situation very clearly. He immediately found the crux of the problem and pointed out the solution.
"Mister Lei Gu, can I really do as Mister Kaede Sato said? I'm very willing to hire the Alliance's powerhouses to protect me, and I'm also willing to negotiate with you. "
Rena was still very smart, but she ignored her own power because she was a political noob. When she heard Kaede Sato's words, she immediately revealed an expression of realization and immediately asked Lei Gu.
Captain Lei Gu revealed a thoughtful expression after hearing Kaede Sato's words, but soon, he revealed a look of disgust.
"I'm not too sure about this either, but I can try to contact this old friend of mine. He does have some say in the Fengyuan Alliance."
