"Your Highness… We don't really have ti…" Count Einren tried to persuade her and drag her back to support the first prince. He didn't expect to find such a treasure in the middle of the wilderness, so it was a chance he couldn't let go.
Flora didn't say a single thing. She only glanced at Nathan, whose eyes remained closed. As long as Nathan hadn't said a single thing, she wouldn't make her decision.
Besides, she couldn't think of the best solution for them.
"…" Count Einren couldn't help but look at Nathan, thinking, 'So, this is the renowned unique summoner, Nathan? Even though he is just a commoner, his strength is beyond what a noble typically has.
'With his achievent alone, he can go anywhere he likes and people will be welcoming here.
'But his connection is much more monstrous. I have heard a rumor about him eting the king directly. It was an unofficial eting, but that was the eting that actually made Her Highness Flora drop from the succession battle.
'At the sa ti, all the research he has produced is highly valued. Even I use his summoner classification to make everything simple.
'But is it alright for a royal family mber to wait for the decision of a commoner? Normally, a marquis or an earl would be needed to marry a princess, but he's the only person who manages to break that rule.
'More importantly, it will be troubleso if the Holy Kingdom gets involved because of the saintess. We only have 5 world class summoners who have pledged their loyalty to the kingdom, but one of them is Duke Coline, who is under Her Highness Flora directly. Duke Coline is different from Duke Sullivan. Even if Noelle is with them, he won't wield his sword against the kingdom.
'If we add the Dragon King and the Sage, it will be 3 against 4 world class summoners. While it's true that Forest Queen hasn't beco a world class summoner, she is known to have the potential to reach that level from the academy.
'In addition, the Blacksmith Guild is backing this guy. There are even so rumors about him having an additional backer that manages to crush the Black Cat Organization. It's a rumor only a few know, but it has been confird because the information we get from an anonymous source regarding the Black Cat Organization traces back to him.
'To destroy the Black Cat Organization requires either the participation of at least 10 arcane level summoners or one world class summoner. If it's the latter, it ans we have an equal number of world class summoners.
'It's no wonder why His Majesty is granting his request to take away Her Highness Flora. But it also ans that Her Highness Flora can rebel and claim the throne anyti she wants.
'However, Her Highness Flora is known to dislike the idea of becoming a sovereign, even though she is exceptionally skilled at it.
'If we can sohow drag him into this battle and get his support, it might displease him a bit, but we will still be able to win. In the worst-case scenario, we can condemn his action and turn him into another Elysion Aquamoon, where no kingdom tries to get him.'
Count Einren assessed the entire situation and urged Flora to make a decision, using the fact that they didn't have enough ti.
anwhile, Nathan could see through the entire sche in an instant. Even though he disliked politics, it didn't an he didn't understand it.
What Nathan was contemplating was not what would happen to them if they accepted or rejected this invitation. In fact, Nathan had already made a decision the mont they encountered Count Einren.
Once he had that decision, all he needed to think about was what to do next.
'If I go forward, it ans blocking our escape route. At the sa ti, if we don't bring this alien far enough, it will still be seen that we're assisting or harming the prince in one way or another.
'But if we bring it too far, we'll be screwed. Not only would the alien bring so many aliens toward us, but it would also hide once more, even if we manage to lose them.
'In other words, there are three objectives that need to be accomplished. The first one is to bring the alien far enough, but not too far. Since the alien hasn't arrived here after five minutes of thinking, its speed should be quite slow.
'The second objective is where we should escape. If we put the alien in an advantageous position, we will have a hard ti coming back ho.
'Last but not least, we have to create a situation where the prince can't ddle with us. In other words, if this Count forcefully attacks the alien, it has to be seen as him ddling in our matter, which won't be favorable for him. Even if we retaliate, the others will turn a blind eye to our action because he simply deserves it.
'This is why I hate politics. They always complicate stuff.' Nathan took a deep breath.
*Oooooo!*
Suddenly, a heavy echo traveled across the entire area, alerting them of the presence of the alien.
Jinwu hurriedly returned to Nathan's shoulder, warning him. "Summoner. We don't have a lot of ti left. It's going to arrive at our position in less than two minutes."
"Your Highness! You should make your decision now!" Count Einren raised his voice.
Flora gritted her teeth, looking at Nathan. Surprisingly, Nathan looked troubled but calm at the sa ti, as though he was faking the difficulty. Nathan only raised a finger, as if telling her to give him a bit more ti.
Count Einren beca more and more agitated as the elite class alien ca closer and closer.
Nathan was actually asuring the distance between them. The mont the alien reached a certain point, Nathan imdiately gave his order as though he had already made the plan a while ago.
"I will now give my order. We will now begin to head north. Sera, boost Flora and Selena. Both of you are to hit the elite class alien with everything you've got. Alavenya and Noelle are to take the vanguard and open up the path toward the north. I will adjust everything by myself.
"This battle is now between and the elite class alien." Nathan grinned. "Let's see if we can toy an elite class alien around, shall we?"
