Chapter 45: Rosen, You Sure Are Brave!

After the court meeting ended, Kyle had many matters to attend to. It was all about the reform of the Ministry of Education.

It was not until the fifth day that he finally found some free time. He decided to sneak out of the palace and go to Lorne’s tavern.

Therefore, when it was close to noon, Kyle brought a group of palace guards and disguised himself again, heading straight for Silk Street.

When he appeared in front of the tavern, he found Lorne sitting at the table, and there was a pile of coarse salt on the table.

He did not know whether he was conducting an experiment or trying out some novel idea. Kyle did not care too much. He immediately walked in, and the sound of footsteps immediately broke Lorne from his concentration.

“Yo, old friend, what kind of event happened to actually bring a distinguished guest like you here? This little tavern is simply an honor to have someone like you step in.”

Hearing Lorne’s familiar teasing tone, Kyle’s mood suddenly turned a little cheerful. He did not know why, but no matter what he did in the palace, he always felt a sense of oppression with the high fancy walls no matter who he was with.

On the contrary, once he entered this tavern and heard Lorne speak, he immediately became piqued up. Perhaps this was the wonder of the young man in front of him, and also the unique charm of his personality.

“Boss, give me a jar of wine and a few tasty dishes. No matter what, you have to let me enjoy the real treatment of a distinguished guest.”

Lorne shouted, then stood up and clapped his hands, cleaning the salt powder on his body.

“Sit for a while, I’ll serve you the dishes right away.” As he said that, he turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy. Not long after, four dishes and a jar of wine were placed on the table that Kyle was sitting.

Lorne pulled out a chair for himself and winked at Kyle.

“Old friend, did my old pal Vincent send you the message I asked him to send?”

Kyle was immediately dumbfounded. His head was full of question marks and did not know what Lorne was trying to say.

“What message? When did you ask Rosen to send me a message?”

Lorne patted his thigh.

“Old friend, are you still pretending to be ignorant? Just a few days ago, Vincent came to my place for a meal. I asked him to go back and persuade you how great of a person I am. He said that he promised to make you change your mind and send at least eight daughters to me. Why didn’t he mention this to you?”

“…”

‘Good lord! What did Rosen say and do here!’ A dangerous signal flashed in Kyle’s eyes. He directly and selectively ignored most of Lorne’s last words. After all, he was already used to Lorne’s frequent jumping-off and rambling manner.

Therefore, when it came to giving eight daughters, Kyle automatically weakened the reception signal and selectively pretended not to hear most of it, in case he could not take it anymore.

His focus quickly focused on some keywords after Lorne finished speaking.

That was, Rosen had just eaten in this tavern a few days ago. Kyle remembered clearly that when Rosen had presented the proposals for the reform of the Ministry of Education, Kyle had specifically asked about Lorne.

In the end, his minister said that he had not contacted Lorne and shamelessly said that the reform proposals were his own idea.

Thinking of this, Kyle had the urge to rush to the Rosen residence in a carriage and hang Rosen up to beat him up.

Rosen had played a trick on him! At that time, Kyle thought that he had wronged Rosen, so he apologized and did not bring it up anymore. He could not believe that he had made such a mistake.

However, Kyle knew that Rosen was not a person who would covet the credit of others. Moreover, they all knew Lorne, who usually proposed these types of suggestions.

There must be another reason that caused Rosen to not dare to confess the fact that he had been to the tavern.

Therefore, Kyle said tentatively, “That old man is too unscrupulous. He came to you alone to enjoy the delicious food, and he didn’t even invite me. By the way, what did the two of you talk about? I’m a little interested. Can you tell me about it?”

Lorne nodded. He did not notice the hidden meaning behind Kyle’s words. He had no idea that his next answer would completely rat out poor old Rosen.

“Sure. What can he talk to me about? He just rambles on about random things. He wanted to acknowledge me as his master, and he wanted his useless son to acknowledge me as his master.

“He even asked me which department I’m would go to if I could work in the palace.”

When he said this, Kyle’s eyes suddenly lit up. His interest had been piqued with this question.

He wanted to know the thoughts of the young man in front of him in advance so that it would be convenient for him to make arrangements. After all, there were still a lot of differences between the different positions in the palace. Compared to him, the king, there would be many discrepancies between each department.

“Then, boss, have you thought about where you’re going in the future?”

Lorne scratched his chin and said helplessly, “I was going to be a Decision-maker official, but Vincent told me that decision-makers are a bunch of old men.

“Sitting there drinking tea all day, raising your hand, and writing the king’s order, there’s nothing much about it.

“He even said that if a young man like me worked as a decision-maker official, it would be extremely difficult for me to be promoted. So, I should think about my path correctly.

“Say, that old man. He’s already at a certain age and has some experience in life. I thought that what he said was quite right, so now I don’t really want to be a decision-maker official.”

“…”

Bang!

Damn this Rosen. As expected, there was nothing good about him coming to the tavern alone.

He was the decision-maker of one of the three major central departments of the Lolan Empire, yet he was smeared as a bunch of old men, sitting there drinking tea and voting with their hands up.

This thief, Rosen was really a thief!

Kyle knew what Rosen was up to just by what Lorne had mentioned. It was obvious that he was not going to let Lorne become a decision-maker official.

“Boss, did Vincent still recommend you to take up a position in the Education Department and then talk about how good that department is?”

Lorne immediately looked at Kyle with a surprised look.

“Not bad, old friend. You’re really quite smart sometimes. You even guessed what he said, not bad.

“That old man Vincent really insisted that the Education Department should be the first among the six departments to be considered. He said that I could be in charge of many things and that the promotion speed was very fast. Anyway, there were all kinds of benefits.”

Kyle laughed with a fake smile. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “I guess Vincent really is like that. I guess it’s because he is close to the Education Department officials that he thinks this department is the best in the world.

“In my opinion, the decision-maker officials are quite good. It’s not as exaggerated as what he said. How can it be all old men? There are only a few real old men there.

“Moreover, the decision-maker officials write orders for the king. They give orders from the top to the bottom and are the closest to the king.

“Such a place is a good place, to begin with. Don’t listen to his nonsense.”

For Kyle, no matter where Lorne went, he was an existence that could provide tremendous support for the construction of the Lolan Empire.

However, it was clear that being a decision-maker official would deem more helpful to Kyle. It would be more beneficial to the efficient operation of the entire Lolan Empire.

In addition, Kyle himself also had some personal selfish motives. He hoped that Lorne would be able to stay by his side for a longer amount of time

Therefore, it was best to stay in the decision-maker department. That way, he could summon Lorne at any time and listen to him talk about the principles of governing the country and the people.

Therefore, if this was the case, Rosen was trying to poach him and snatch him away from the king.

With that, Kyle suddenly thought of something in his mind.

‘Alright, Rosen, you think you’re being brave? Two can play at this game!’
