Chapter 543: The Minister of War
In the realms of diplomacy and military affairs, Alonso seemed barely competent.
He was neither adept at scheming nor particularly inclined towards scholarly pursuits.
Alonso appeared to be an average individual, ensnared between two more talented personas.
However, Howard always harbored a belief in Resarite’s judgment, feeling that anyone recommended by Resarite must possess unique qualities.
He saw potential in Alonso.
Howard shared these thoughts with Boshni, laughing as he said, "That young fellow Alonso always seems so at ease. While others are busy from dawn till dusk, he spends his days leisurely fishing and hunting. Yet, whenever there are rewards to be handed out, he is never left out."
Boshni responded with a smile, "He seems like a simple man, which I quite like."
Howard, puzzled, asked, "Oh? You like him?"
Boshni admitted it, and upon Howard’s encouragement, Alonso and Boshni got married, sharing their territories after the union.
Boshni, far from being naive, quickly adapted to her new status as a noble.
In a few years, she transformed from a wide-eyed girl who spoke to Howard of fairy tales to a martial noble akin to Anna.
