The entire palace fell into a dead silence, and no one dared to say anything.
The Black Flag Army was an elite force of the Bright Dynasty. Despite their potent combat power and significant contribution to

"Your Highness, the rules of the Black Flag Army are strict. The person in charge of the army's daily affairs is one of Matthew's

light flashed in Francis' eyes. He too knew about Joshua. Many people ignored Joshua as he seldom appeared in front of others. However, he followed Matthew all the way out in various deadly battlefields, and only listened to Matthew's orders. "The Black Flag Token should have been in the hands of Uncle Matthew before.
