Amyrius's attitude

Kask and Portland were naturally unaware of what had happened in Kronos's family, but since he claimed he could clean up the mess, that was good; at least they wouldn't be "completely wiped out."

"So what do we do now?" Portland asked from the side.

Kronos glanced at him. "What right do we have to choose now? Whatever the Royal Family says goes."

Kask chimed in, "Yes, we have no choice but to fulfill the Royal Family's request in one go."

Portland thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll go tell them now."

Kronos then reminded him, "Don't worry about whether it's true or not, just firmly support all decisions made by the Royal Family. This kind of political correctness must be demonstrated unwaveringly."

Kronos meant, stop acting, just pretend to object, and avoid any more arguments or anything like that.

We will directly support all of His Majesty the King's decisions.

This way, His Third Prince is comfortable, George III is comfortable, and everyone is comfortable.

Kask sighed beside him, "Well, that's manageable. The real challenge is how to deal with the Church of Steam and Machinery's retaliation."

He then noticed that both Kronos and Portland had completely unfazed expressions.

"What? You all don't care at all?" Kask, somewhat surprised.

"What's there to care about?" Kronos shrugged and said, "I've already said I can clear myself of all responsibility, so this has nothing to do with me."

"As for Professor Portland, his feud with those people at Saint Hilarion Church has been going on for a long time, and they haven't been able to do anything about it, have they?"

Kask was dumbfounded. "So, if the Church of Steam and Machinery wants to vent its anger, their only option is me?"

Kronos suppressed a laugh and said, "That's about right."

But Kronos quickly added, "You don't need to worry so much. The Church of Steam and Machinery doesn't have many resources in this area. If you're just a little cautious, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Besides, the Royal Family Royal Family will protect you. The reason they're intervening now is to prevent the three of us from playing both sides. In this situation, as long as you stand firmly with the Royal Family, they will definitely protect you. They can't abandon their own supporters, can they?"

This was the first time Kask had faced a conflict between the Royal Family and the church, and he was a little flustered. But after hearing what Kronos said, he gradually came to his senses.

"Kronos is quite good. As expected of someone from the Argel Family, he's much more perceptive than me."

Kronos could only smile bitterly upon hearing this, and remained silent.

I can't exactly say that "practice makes perfect" or that this is just experience my family has learned from being taken advantage of so many times.

After their brief conversation, the three people went their separate ways.

Kronos went directly to the conference room to wait for the meeting to begin, while the other two quickly relayed the Message that they must fully support the Royal Family's proposal today.

Soon it was time for the meeting, Edessak, Kask, Portland, and two bishops from the Church of Evernight and the Church of the Church of Storms entered the meeting room.

The meeting room was completely different from its previous state. The attendees knew that a VIP was coming, so they all sat upright and didn't say a word.

Normally, this place would be noisy, with people talking about all sorts of things.

But it was precisely this quiet environment that led Kronos to make a misjudgment.

At that moment, Kronos was sitting in his chair, asleep with his head tilted back.

Studying what interests you doesn't feel tiring, so Kronos thought he was never tired, simply because of his interest.

But if you make him participate in things he's not interested in, then he'll immediately feel sleepy.

So Kronos lay down in his chair and fell fast asleep.

Normally, as the meeting time approaches, there will always be noise in the meeting room, and people will start chatting. Such noise is usually enough to wake him up.

But nothing happened today, so Kronos just kept sleeping.

This meant that the first thing these five people saw upon entering the room was this attendee who was sleeping in a chair, his gaping maw pointing skyward.

Kronos immediately drew their attention.

"Who is that?" Edessak asked curiously.

Kask glanced at Portland and noticed he was suppressing a laugh, so he answered, "This is Kronos; he initiated and funded this Project."

Upon hearing this, Edessak became interested and wanted to learn more about this person.

At this time, Edessak had not yet met Trissy, so his ambition for the Throne was still considerable.

He didn't know the specifics of the Argel Family, but he believed that this family was definitely not simple.

Therefore, if they could get the Argel Family's support, they would have a greater chance of winning.

So he said to Kask, "Go wake him up, we have a meeting, and I'd like to talk to him afterwards."

The meeting's outcome remained unchanged; the proposal for the Three Churches to establish a presence in the Research Center was unanimously approved.

The main approach involves the Three Churches jointly establishing a security team within the Research Center to protect the safety of the Scientists and their research findings.

As for what the Church of Steam and Machinery hoped for—teaching and spreading the faith—all of that was cut off.

The Royal Family family was quite ruthless in their actions, essentially giving the Church of Steam and Machinery a two-word reply, "Don't even think about it."

After the meeting, Kronos went to Kask's office, where Edessak was waiting for him.

He was actually quite reluctant to get involved in these things, but how could he refuse when the Third Prince came knocking on his door?

Left with no other choice, Kronos had to bite the bullet and come to see him.

"Kronos, I heard you went to the Southern Continent before. I've always wanted to go and see it, but I couldn't, no one would allow it," Edessak spoke first, breaking the deadlock.

Kronos was a little surprised. It wouldn't be surprising if the royal family knew he had gone to the Southern Continent, after all, MI9 was no pushover. But it was unusual for a prince to know.

Kronos smiled and said, "Yes, we went there on our own merchant ships. Your Highness, you seem very curious about that place. I've never been there either, so I was curious too, which is why I asked my father for help."

At this point, Kronos changed the subject. "I tried to hide it a little when I went, since I didn't want too many people to know, but I was still too naive."

Although Edessak was the third prince of the Royal Family, Kronos had no reason to be subservient to him, so this statement was basically an expression of dissatisfaction with Edessak investigating him.

Edessak had been exposed to various political tactics since childhood, so he could naturally hear the dissatisfaction in Kronos's words.

So he immediately explained, "Kronos probably doesn't know yet, but the people in the Southern Continent have recommended you for credit."

"A request for commendation?" Kronos, somewhat puzzled.

Edessak was somewhat pleased to see that Kronos was completely unaware of the situation; after all, he was the first to pass on the Message to Kronos, so he figured he'd make a good impression.

"Yes, after the war ended, the various armies started recommending those who had made contributions. I saw your name on that list, and that's how I guessed you went to the Southern Continent."

The war on the Southern Continent lasted for more than three months and finally ended some time ago.

Ironically, whether it was the Loen Kingdom, the Feysac Empire, or the Republic of Intis, none of them achieved a clear victory or defeat, and the size of their colonies remained largely unchanged.

Originally, the Republic of Intis had seized a considerable amount of territory in the Paz Valley, but as the Loen Kingdom poured money into it, several local forces attacked the Republic of Intis together, leaving it unable to attend to all fronts. In the end, all that territory was taken back.

The three factions fought for so long, and all they got was a huge list of casualties.

As for post-war commendations, those are perfectly normal occurrences.

Kronos did indeed have merit, and he did not impersonate someone else because of his noble status.

Thanks to Kronos's Message, the Sonia Fleet in the West Balam colony was able to return to defend in time.

Ultimately, the Sonia Fleet bombed Berens Harbor and pursued the Redfire Fleet for a long time, preventing the Redfire Fleet from causing greater damage.

While Kronos may not have been the primary contributor to these events, his contribution was certainly significant.

So Amyrius didn't hesitate to put forward Kronos's name and even asked for his Colonel colonel.

After Edessak explained everything, Kronos realized that so much had happened. He had been studying his own affairs for the past two months and hadn't even known that the war was over.

But to be honest, a military rank was of no use to Kronos, since it was just an honorary title and he didn't actually hold any position.

But what truly pleased Kronos was Amyrius's attitude.

When Kronos left, he left behind the Potion Formula for the Chaos Hunter, but he didn't really have a proper talk with Amyrius, because he didn't want to make things clear directly.

Amyrius always needs time to consider things carefully. Although it's said to be an alliance with him personally, everyone probably understands that it will be difficult to completely extricate the Levett Family from the conflict.

Therefore, Kronos did not receive any feedback from Amyrius, and during this time Kronos did not attempt to contact him for an answer.

But today, Kronos sensed Amyrius's attitude. When Kronos delivered the Message, he told Gner not to reveal his name, but Amyrius still went to great lengths to claim credit for him instead of finding someone else to take the blame. This showed a very positive attitude.
