I’ll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan Novel! - Chapter 25

???

Andrew was immediately dumbfounded.

What was the relationship between him and the owner of the tavern?

Of course, he knew that Kyle often ran out of the palace these days. Last time, he had caught him red-handed because he reeked of alcohol.

Moreover, since when did a tiny tavern owner in Lolan City have this kind of ability?

Could it be that he, Andrew, had been in the palace for such a long time that he had deviated from the progress of the people? So much so that he missed out on an opportunity meaning a sage?

Looking at Andrew’s dull look, Kyle patted his shoulder.

“You only need to know his name. I won’t say much about the others. If you want to know, you can ask Rosen and Allen.”

Andrew nodded stiffly, and his mind became somewhat chaotic.

However, he quickly sobered up and asked, “Your Majesty, many I know who the second person would be?”

“It’s Queen Anna,” Kyle said bluntly.

“Last night, she specially prepared supper in her bedroom. She then invited me over to plead on your behalf, saying that you were truly a loyal person, and it’s just that you were a little straightforward sometimes.”

Andrew was stunned for a moment.

“The queen really is a virtuous person. She really has the demeanor of a mother that cares for all her people. Please, Your Majesty, do send my regards and thank her. I have no nothing to repay the trust the queen has placed in me. I shall only prove it by doing my best to assist Your Majesty and strengthen the prestige of the Lolan Empire.

“I am willing to die for you, Your Majesty!”

As he spoke, Andrew bowed down once again and saluted Kyle.

Seeing Andrew’s solemn attitude, Kyle finally felt at ease. After all, the ones who really contributed to this matter the most were Lorne and Queen Anna.

Kyle had to let Andrew know who was supporting him behind the scenes. Especially so for Lorne, Kyle felt that he should let Andrew acknowledge that Lorne’s advice had played a huge role in the king’s decision.

…

After having lunch, Andrew left Kyle’s study room and ordered his servants to send him to Rosen’s residence.

An hour later, he came out of the Rosen’s house in a daze.

This man had predicted the snowstorm in the north and the drought in the east of the river?

This man had predicted that the king would build a small palace somewhere else?

This man had foresight and brains, understood the ways of the world, and was capable of both civil and military affairs?

Was he a good friend of the king?

Was he a genius, a blessing for the Lolan Empire?

How could such a person only be the owner of a tiny tavern!?

!!!

Andrew was dumbfounded, and his worldview was somewhat shattered. No matter what, Andrew now knew everything about this man named Lorne.

At the same time, he secretly built an idea in his heart. Next time, he would go to this tavern to take a look for himself. With that, he would try to see if he could let this rare young man become an official in the palace.

It would be a waste to just be an owner of a tavern. It would be better to review the administrative affairs of the decision-making department under his own hands, or to observe the king’s etiquette when he had nothing to do.

As for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice, he knew they would seek someone as talented as this too!

With this thought in mind, Andrew boarded the carriage home and closed his eyes to craft his game plan.

Lorne himself had no idea that he had indirectly affected the fate of another important minister in the palace. In his mind, he was just a transmigrator who was waiting for the system to activate.

As for people like Kyle and Queen Anna, they were small matters that did not affect him. Perhaps after his system awakened, he would be able to quickly ascend to the palace and quickly climb ranks.

However, at this stage, he was still being well-behaved. He was still thinking of ways to earn more money, such as making the strong wine taste smoother.

…

One morning, Kyle was once again dressed in ordinary clothes and prepared to leave the palace.

However, this time, he did not think of going to Lorne’s tiny tavern. The reason why he left the palace in disguise was that he had something important to do.

He wanted to go to the south gate of Lolan City and see a high-ranking official in the palace to be directly demoted to the wilderness by him.

This person could be considered an elder in the palace. He had been following the previous king ever since he rebelled.

Kyle’s father had started an army in the east and eventually ascended to the throne. Litt had contributed greatly to this. However, today, he was removed from his title of nobility and exiled to the wilderness because he had committed a crime.

Kyle, Rosen, and Andrew were all dressed in plain clothes too. They stood on the city tower and quietly watched as Litt’s carriage passed through the city.

This hero who had founded the Lolan Empire could not escape death in the end.

Right when Kyle was feeling emotional, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. Then, he was heavily patted on the shoulder and an arm hooked around his.

“Old friend, it really is you!”

Kyle suddenly turned his head and saw Lorne appear beside him with a smile on his face.

Kyle was initially shocked, but he immediately felt rejoiced knowing it was Lorne.

Fortunately, he was wearing casual clothes today. If he was being protected by the Royal Guards and wearing royal clothing, Lorne would have definitely discovered his true identity.

Besides being surprised, Kyle was also a little happy. He has recently been swamped with work and could not visit the tavern, but meeting him on the city tower was enough to make him happy.

He waved his hand subtly, making the nervous palace guards who were about to rush up immediately retreat.

At the same time, Kyle also put a hand on Lorne’s shoulder.

“Boss, this really is fate. The two of us finally had an opportunity to meet outside the tavern.”

The way the two of them put their arms around each other’s shoulders immediately shocked the officials on the city wall.

It was still alright for Rosen as he had witnessed it with his own eyes beforehand. Abner and Allen did not come to the city wall because they had to deal with official business. The only one left was Andrew, who had just been promoted. At this moment, his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.

The f*ck! What was going on with the king?

As the king of a country, he actually had his arms around the shoulders of an unknown ordinary civilian. This was really out of character.

‘I, Andrew, as an outspoken official in the palace, has the responsibility of asking about the king’s behavior and standardizing etiquette. Such behavior should absolutely not be allowed!’ Andrew thought to himself. He made up his mind and immediately took two steps forward, ready to dissuade Kyle from such behavior.

However, as soon as he did, Rosen immediately pulled him back from behind..
