Chapter 242: 15-year-old Inglis, the Dragon God and the Elder King (15)
True, it’s very possible that having Pullum going with him may cause the townspeople’s hearts to focus more on their resentment against Hallim’s blood family than gratitude for Prince Lahti. Pullum’s family was part of Alucard’s cabinet ministry. They had a lot of honor and prestige, so the backlash of their treachery would be huge.
So, in order not to cause any unnecessary trouble, Pullum’s choice to stay was correct. Inglis had explained it to Rafinha, and Leone said she could understand why Pullum did it. The person in question said that there was no other choice, since it was for Lahti’s sake too.
「Hey, Pullum, why don’t you go and board the Flygear Carrier tomorrow? You’re curious about how they’re faring, aren’t you?」
「N-, no……I am curious, but I don’t want to cause any unnecessary confusion. I’m sorry, Rafinha. I’ll stay here and do what I can.」
「I see…」
「I believe that is for the best, lady Pullum. Now is an important time to win the hearts of the people under the banner of His Highness Lahti. It is better for us not to pour salt on the wound and keep pushing them towards a better future.」

Pullum approvingly nodded.
