Chapter 876
"Troublesome people."
Davey made an exasperated face.
Although he had relinquished his claim to the throne and managed to ease much of the tension around him, the reality was that some members of the Rowane Kingdom's influential nobility were far from satisfied with the current situation. His influence had grown to surpass even that of Crown Prince Baris, leaving a bitter taste in their mouths.
Though a great purge had left only nobles favorable to Davey, people changed over time. The reason he knew this was because he could see an uneasiness that stemmed from his sole decision to grant asylum to fugitives of the Terraria Kingdom.
Concerns about the potential for significant international issues arose, but Davey had settled their worries by assuring them he would personally take responsibility for any fallout.
In contrast to the outrage, King Krianes had merely told him that he had done a good job, although he was well aware that such a statement could send shockwaves through the nobility. His actions were direct and bold, as if he were venting all his pent-up frustration.
The two individuals Maximus had sent for asylum were a maid named Roisa and his sister Princess Latiana. Both appeared dazed by their sudden change in circumstances.
"For the time being, stay here and make yourselves comfortable," Davey said.
"But..." Roisa said, her face clouded with concern.
