Springerest Pavilion, Quintana Residence, Draconia.

Lord Quintana, Casper, sat in his grand chair, silently staring at an old photograph of the Eight Kings from 30 years ago.

“Dad!” Jethro’s voice was gentle, yet filled with concerns he entered the study. “Are you thinking about your old friends again?”

Casper slowly placed the photo down, letting out a soft sigh. “Yes. After drinking the Snow Dragon Pool water brought by Master Ramsey, I somehow managed to escape death again.”

He paused, his eyes distant. “But I know… my time is running out.

“People my age tend to look back on the past.

“I long for those days of passion and ambition,” he murmured.

Jethro sat beside his father, covering him with a blanket. He struggled to speak, his throat tight with emotion, unable to find words for a long time.

Recently, several of the kings had passed away, and many issues–both internal and external–had caused

unrest.

Draconia seemed heavy with frustration, and Casper felt like there was no one he could share it with.

Casper gently patted his son’s arm and stayed silent for a while before speaking. “Jethro, are you carrying a lot of unsaid thoughts these days?”

Jethro nodded, his voice barely above a whisper. “Dad, Ill admit, I feel uneasy.

“There have been so many changes at the top recently, and I don’t fully understand them.

“To be honest, I’m not happy with many of the decisions being made.”

He let out a deep breath, as if releasing some built–up frustration. “But I won’t say more. It just feels … suffocating.

“Dad, there are things I’ll leave unsaid. Just focus on getting better,” he said quietly.

Casper slowly sat up and met his son’s confused gaze. After a long silence, he placed a hand on Jethro’s

shoulder.

“Jethro, you’re still as loyal as you were when you were younger!

“That’s why I didn’t send you to the military back then.

“With your nature, you would’ve made quite an impact in the army..

“Even after all these years in foreign affairs, you’re still as sharp as ever.

“Though you’ve softened a bit, that fire inside you hasn’t gone out.

Maverick is just like you. People like you two are better suited to life in the field.

“But for someone like me, in a position of power in such a vast country, I must look at the bigger picture and the greater good.

“Politics, son, is a harsh game. You must learn to endure

“I know, many people have been puzzled by the decisions at the top in recent years. We’ve taken a lot of unjust criticism.

“But the key figures, the higher–ups–they understand.

“That’s actually a good thing. It means the people care deeply about this land.

“They have high expectations for their leaders.

“This is our homeland, and we cannot let either foreign enemics or internal strife trample on it!

“Even if there are disputes among us, those are issues we need to handle ourselves.

“No matter what decisions the leaders make, they carry heavy responsibilities and are proceeding cautiously.

“Everything they do is for the people of Draconia and for the prosperity of our nation.

“Draconia is now so powerful that the entire world envies us.

“A tree that stands out in the forest is bound to be struck by the wind.

“Especially on this resource–scarce planet, we have every advantage, the right timing, the right location, and the right people.

“Draconia is vast, rich in resources, with a large population, and surrounded by potential threats.

“Our leaders, in order to bring peace and prosperity to the people and ensure long–term growth, have been enduring.”

Jethro listened carefully, his eyes filled with doubt.

“Dad, enduring doesn’t mean we’re weak.

“Master Ramsey has gone out alone many times without support. Is that normal?”

Casper smiled bitterly. “Jethro, there’s a lot you don’t understand. Master Ramsey has a secret agreement with the higher–ups.

“This world is like a grand stage, and everyone plays their role.

“If you can see through it, others can too.

“Besides, the enemy is among us, and we are among the enemy. People like Hadley and Snivy are all around us. How could they not notice?

“If you can’t make sense of the higher–ups‘ actions or Master Ramsey’s movements, that’s actually a good

thing

“Just remember: Everything the leaders, our powerful periors, and Master Ramsey do is for the benefit of Draconia and the peace of this land.

“Many people don’t understand, and that’s okay.

“Many of us have been wronged, and that’s fine too.

“As long as we act for the people, even if they don’t understand, then every effort, every performance, is

worth it.

“You only need to remember to do your duty.

“Never forget your original purpose–to serve the people of Draconia with all your heart, until your last breath.

“Our generations of effort will not be in vain.”

Jethro’s eyes suddenly brightened. “Dad, I … I’ve been so foolish!”

Casper gave his son a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Actually, being in our position is harder than being an ordinary citizen. We have to bear a lot more.

“To wear the crown, you must bear its weight.”

A glimmer of hope returned to Jethro’s eyes.

“Dad, what about Hannibal…?”

Casper chuckled. “He’s much smarter than you think.

“He understands the higher–ups‘ intentions. If not, Catherine wouldn’t have accepted the Westeria Token after going through all that hardship. This is exactly what we must do.

“For the nation’s interests, for the people’s welfare, and for the happiness and safety of everyone on this land, what’s a little grievance to us?

“No matter what the public says, we stay true to our mission. In time, all misunderstandings will fade.

“History will eventually give future generations the clearest explanation.

“Our actions, whether praised or criticized, will be judged by the generations that follow.

“This time, you will represent Draconia as the chief negotiator at the South Panacea Ocean. You must stand firm and protect Draconia’s dignity. Our interests cannot be compromised!

“This morning, I got a call from the higher–ups, and they wanted my opinion.

“Now, Draconia will send its half–complete land, sea, and air forces to South Panacea Ocean, offering you and Master Ramsey the strongest support for your negotiations. noveldrama

“Also, we’ll handle the eastern waters–those minor provocateurs who have dared to challenge us repeatedly.

“In this negotiation, if representatives from Autreynia, Tanqueria, Kangaroth, or Sakurania cross the line, we will act without hesitation.

“No matter how much you’ve endured in past negotiations, this time, you need to stand tall and make your

case!

“Let the world tremble at your words. Let this negotiation at South Panacea Occan give the people of Draconia confidence.

“And let those who covet our land know–if they wants as an opponent, we will be a worthy one!”
