Chapter 242
The Ruswena delegation was guided to the reception room farthest from the main building of the imperial palace. This was partly because it was an unannounced visit, and partly to hide the commotion inside the palace as much as possible.
The Prime Minister, leading his staff, hurried across the corridor.
“Did you say the delegation’s representative is Eldert?”
“Yes. He’s the cousin and closest confidant of Erifoni, the current 12th king of Ruswena. He’s said to be serving as the king’s advisor now. Before becoming an advisor, he has a background as a professor of urban engineering at Ruswena National University.”
“…A professor? He looked quite young.”
The Prime Minister marveled, recalling the man he had briefly seen during the break. The fact that the king’s confidant had come meant that they weren’t taking Hayman’s request for help lightly. Well, if they had, they wouldn’t have come directly to the imperial palace like this in the first place.
The Prime Minister furrowed his pale eyes as he entered the arched main door. The servants standing on both sides of the reception room noticed his presence and announced it inside.
Creeeeak.
“The Prime Minister enters.”
