Chapter 1285

“I dare not speak further today, nor would I approach Prince Rafael. I fear His Majesty might misunderstand,” Davis replied.

Jeremiah nodded gravely. “Yes, the Ministry of Defense should avoid any private dealings with the Hell Monarch. For now, it’s best to keep your distance.”

He paused, his brow furrowing as he suppressed his growing concern over the Southern Frontier.

Then, he said, “Recommend someone to act as the military overseer. Or if you believe Marshal Prince cannot handle the command during wartime, perhaps recommend General Thomas as an alternative.”

Davis raised a brow. “General Thomas is already the commanding officer of the military outposts. It wouldn’t be right to transfer him to the Southern Frontier. It might be better to have General Timothy and General Quinton jointly lead the campaign instead. Besides, with the internal strife in the capital, the military outposts here cannot go without a general.”

Jeremiah considered this and thoughtfully said, “That’s a valid point. However, when presenting your recommendations to the king, you must propose more than just the Hell Monarch.”

Davis slumped into his seat, throwing up his hands in frustration. “I’m not one for finesse. I speak plainly, and the facts are clear–the Hell Monarch is the most suitable choice. As for the rebels… they’re not much of a threat for now. They’re trapped in Valken and can’t escape, and they have no intention of attacking. General Murray can handle them.”

Jeremiah waved a hand dismissively. “Do not underestimate the rebels. You know well that they have ties to Sandoria. Anyone capable of such an alliance surely has been scheming for a long time. It’s more complicated than you think.”

Davis paused, taking in Jeremiah’s words before replying, “You make a fair point. Then, perhaps I should go before the king tomorrow and suggest that the Hell Monarch be involved in addressing the internal unrest. That might be acceptable, right?”

Jeremiah gave a small, approving nod. “Yes, that could work.”
