Rocco squinted his eyes. He felt a sense of resistance towards Zedran's words.
"Lord Zedran, you're jesting. Aren't you still in full control over the nation? Now that you have come back to our Border Affairs department, isn't this a sign that you're meant to be here?"
Zedran's eyes twitched with a subtle but noticeable flutter. The complexity of his thoughts intensified.
To be precise, this was Zedran's first time engaging in a private conversation with Rocco.
They said that dealing with this young one is a huge hassle.
Now, it seems to be the case. Not only does he possess shameless audacity, but he is also very careful with his words.
"Mr. Rocco, you flatter me. I am merely a sixty-year-old man closing into retirement!"
He waved his hand in a self-deprecating manner. At this moment, he was eager to conclude the interaction with Rocco and hasten his departure.
"Mr. Rocco, may I know what brought you here this time?"
Even though Zedran was standing in the comfort of his territory, he found himself in a state of discomfort. After this interaction with Rocco, he felt as if all his secrets had been laid bare.
Rocco lifted his chin as he stared at the Minister of Border Affairs.
"I came here in the name of Prince Toby. I'm just here to check on your well-being. By the way, Lord Zedran, may I inquire as to the events that transpired within the palace? What led His Highness to relocate you from the kingdom?"
What has to happen will happen.
Zedran cleared his throat with a subtle cough. "The main blame for this matter falls on my overly conspicuous behavior. Besides, the intense rivalry among the princes has become too pronounced. His Highness feels that my presence will only aggravate the conflict. Hence, His Highness has resolved to relocate me from Everton."
His statement contained a hint of deception. He was utterly confident in his ability to impose a false idea on Rocco.
In fact, he had foreseen this scenario to happen before he set off. That's why he had meticulously planned his words ahead of time.
Sure enough, Rocco did not harbor many doubts. He even proceeded to record the conversation in detail.
