I’ll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan Novel! - Chapter 38

Of course, although Rosen was ridiculing Lorne in his heart, he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

“You have to talk to Charles about this matter yourself. After all, it’s a family matter, so it’s not good for us to talk about it.”

Lorne patted Rosen’s shoulder and spoke in an urgent manner.

“Rosen, look at me. Can’t you help me with this? If you have the time, go and persuade your friend. Ask him to reconsider. If he misses this opportunity, he won’t get meals from this tavern anymore.

“It’s a rare opportunity to befriend someone like me. If I don’t open this tavern in the future, don’t blame me if he regrets it. I’m afraid that it’ll be hard for him to even get a glimpse of my face.”

Rosen did not even eat this time. He could not help but put down the cutlery to support his facepalm.

This young man has not even reached the palace yet, and he’s already started to plan out his future.

When the day comes for him to go to the palace, he would definitely want to stick around his old friend, Charles, which was actually King Kyle.

Fortunately, Rosen had a higher official position than Lorne. When Lorne enters the palace in the future, he would have to listen to Rosen.

When the time came, Rosen was curious as to how arrogant Lorne could get by then. Would he humble himself, or would his arrogance be inflated tenfold!

Thinking of this, Rosen put down his hand that was supported his forehead.

“Ahem!”

“Boss, I’ve seen Charles’s daughters before. They’re only this tall and much, much younger than you. It’s really unbecoming of you to force him to marry his daughters to you.

“In my opinion, it would be difficult for Charles to agree to something like this.”

As he spoke, he gestured at a height that was about the same height as the table.

Lorne immediately fell into deep thought.

Watching him fall into deep silence, Rosen thought that his words had worked and that Lorne was about to give up.

Lorne suddenly stared at Rosen, and his eyes lit up.

“I say, Rosen, at your age, your daughter should be much older than Charle’s daughter, right?

“Do you have any young and beautiful daughters? Give me two or three of them, then it’ll mean that we’re brothers, right?”

Rosen was shocked. He felt his scalp go numb and cold sweat broke out on his back.

shit, why did this demon king turn his eyes to him? How was he going to find a way out!

He immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum.

“No, no, my family doesn’t have a daughter. I just have two disappointing brats. I can’t help you with this either.”

…

“Sigh!”

Lorne leaned against the back of the chair dejectedly and let out a long sigh.

“I’ve got brothers that are shallow, I didn’t expect all my brothers to be this shallow. I’ve finally seen through all of you. You’re all fakes.”

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky with a disappointed look on his face.

A few lines formed on Rosen’s forehead. He was completely convinced by Lorne’s despair. How could someone be such a brat and contain so much talent?

He even felt an oncoming headache forming. It was even more of a headache than that day when he drank together with Zorn.

“Boss, I think we should stop talking about this nonsense. Why don’t you tell me, after you enter the palace, which official position or which department do you intend to work in?”

Rosen quickly changed the topic. This was the main purpose of his visit to the tavern today.

Firstly, he had to test Lorne and see if he had any thoughts about the various departments in the court.

Secondly, no matter what, he had to establish a tall and good image for the Ministry of Education that he was in charge of so that Lorne would have a good perception towards it in advance.

This way, when Lorne finally entered the palace and became an official, it would be convenient for him, Rosen, to directly ask the king for his assistance.

When Lorne heard Rosen’s question, he immediately showed a trace of interest.

“Aren’t official appointments all decided by the king? It’s not up to me to decide.

“I am a person who would be content with whatever happens. It doesn’t matter where I am appointed to go. In any case, I will have to ascend to the throne in the end.”

Rosen shook his head from how big Lorne’s ego was.

“With your vast wisdom, extraordinary ability, and foresight, perhaps the king will really give you a chance to choose. Why don’t you make an assumption? Let’s say you had a choice, where would you like to go?”

Lorne pondered for a moment before coming up with an idea.

“If I have to choose, I think the decision-making department would be fitting. It’s definitely a good place to go.”

Rosen’s expression changed immediately.

What a good kid. He actually took a fancy to the decision-making department. However, this was not good for him. He had to change his train of thought into a direction he desired.

“I’ve heard of the decision-making department. It seems to be a place where a group of old men would sit in a room and debate with each other for a long time, and then discuss a policy.

“I don’t think this place is suitable for you. You’re a bright and energetic young man. It’s not suitable for you to go to a place that’s full of vitality and a group of old men.

“I think you should go to the administrative department. There are six departments there, and many of them are places that do practical things. That’s suitable for a young and promising young man like you.”

In order to get Lorne to work for him, Rosen did not care much about the things he said. He shamelessly sold out his colleagues in the decision-making department.

Based on what he said, they became a bunch of old men. Rosen did not feel that there was anything wrong with selling out his colleagues with just one sentence. He did it so that he could recruit this young man, who was so outstanding and could be called a great sage of the country, to work for him.

When that time came, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the palace. The decision-making department and the deliberative department would all be put aside.

However, after hearing Rosen’s explanation, Lorne shook his head violently and did not agree with it at all.

“No, no, you’re just a businessman. How could you understand the benefits of the decision-making department?

“The decision-making department is the department responsible for decision-making among the three major departments of Lolan. Even the orders issued by the king would have to be written by the decision-making department.

“All the documents and government affairs presented from all parts of the country and the palace have to go through the first approval of the decision-making department before they can be presented to the king.

“Even if the king were to make a decision, he would have to let the Ministers of the decision-making department discuss it carefully and come up with a draft before it could be implemented.”

“You’re telling me that there are six departments under the administrative officials? This doesn’t seem very good in comparison to what they have. The officials of the decision-making department can make a decision just by sitting there and talking.

“When the officials of the administrative department receive the documents sent by the decision-making department, they would need to run around and use their legs.

“There’s no point in being a young man full of vigor. So, I’d rather sit with those old men comfortably and discuss the matters rather than run around.. “
