Zara laughed out loud upon hearing this, even Mila chuckled in a low voice... She knew this wouldn't end well for the Saint.
"What did you say?! I told that bastard to treat you like his ancestor and don't cause trouble!! sigh~ please don't blame him, He doesn't even know our agreements. He doesn't even know you are the Ring Maker. Nobody knows anything but me and His Majesty. I will make up for this misunderstanding with a 250.000 gold coin grant to support your research, what do you think about this?"
Sage Albert was really pissed off hearing about his man's actions from Robin... Even Galan was smart enough to stick to Robin's thighs by giving him his daughter, while some idiot from his side go and insult him?
"Heh~ I don't know if this little money will compensate me for the technique that I lost track of because of the interruption, or the psychological harm I suffered from your man's attempt to take my life, but if you think that this amount is appropriate, who am I to object? ..... you are not quite there yet, but who am I to object? ... haha that is indeed much better, always live doing business with you, your highness ..... Alright, I will pass the ring now to its owner, see you later, your highness." When Robin finished his last words, he threw the ring at the saint, who was still standing in amazement, "His Highness wants to speak with you."
The Saint picked up the ring sweating heavily and quickly passed on his energy, "How can I serve you, Your Highness? .... Eh? I was just -….… yes….. yes…. I know that….. yes your highness, I surly will A-" He didn't finish his last word until he suddenly fell silent , his face appeared as if Sage Albert had told him that his mother had died.
But he didn't stay there long, but came forward and gave a complete bow to Robin, "I apologize for my arrogant behavior."
The saint was almost crying... he literally didn't know what was happening, Sage Albert yelled at him and told him to apologize and behave politely towards Robin as he behaves with him, he didn't give an explanation or anything.. he left the saint to his imagination!
Robin looked at him with a look full of pity, he wasn't angry with this guy, what sage Albert will do to him when he gets back is enough, even if the sage doesn't punish him it's enough that live with the memory that he forced the royal family to pay a large sum of gold coins because of his actions,
Robin then nodded and spoke, "Wait here, in half an hour I will make a copy of what you want, If you don't mind waiting for me again, of course?"
"Ahaha, please go ahead, how can this little one mind? Please be careful on your way back to your room…"
The Saint's transformation shocked the three, Zara couldn't hold herself and laughed so loudly that the Saint felt like he wanted to kill himself!
Robin didn't bother with him any longer and then looked at Mila, "Can you call Billy for me, please? I wanted to tell him something in the incoming weeks anyway, It is a good time now that I already broke my seclusion .."
Mila nodded, "No problem" and vanished, then Robin turned and went back to his room to make a copy of the technique...
leaving the saint who is still processing why the famous Lady Mila was taking orders from this boy...
----------------------------
Half an hour passed quickly...
Robin returned to the reception room hugging quite a few scrolls and books and found the same three individuals waiting for him, plus a new one... Billy.
"Haha, you finally showed your face, sleeping beauty?" Billy laughed out loud when Robin was coming in cuddling the scrolls
"Tsk~ His supremacy there, the handsome prince, is the one who woke me up against my will... let me take care of him first, then we will talk about our affairs," Robin replied sarcastically,
but the *handsome prince* definitely did not like the sarcasm, he just stood politely while moving his eyes strangely between the two
Billy raised his shoulder, "It's okay, do your thing~"
Robin threw everything he was hugging on the floor, then picked up one of them and passed it to the Saint of the Royal Family, "That's what you are here for, after you take it from my hand you only leave it again in the hands of His Highness Sage Albert, do you understand?"
"Yes, Of course, I understand!" The saint held the scroll with both hands, of course, he knew how valuable this scroll is!
he has his own assumptions after Robin's responses to the Sage, but whatever was in it, it definitely was anything but common, since it made even Sage Albert act like this.
"I'm sure you brought half a million gold coins with you?" Robin asked
The Saint nodded, "They are in my carriage, I was told to give them to you after receiving the scroll, I will fetch them at once!!" The saint spoke quickly and turned around to move
"Wait! lead you carriage towards the patriarch's office and hand it to him, he will know what to do with it... Also when sage Albert sends the compensation for your offense to me, hand it to the patriarch as well or to that guy, Billy, you should remember his ugly face," Robin pointed at Billy, then continued, "If it is not you who will come again with the compensation, then tell the next person to do it... Please don't take me out of my seclusion again... If someone else came and demanded to see me again I will complain to the Sage about YOU again!"
When the saint heard that the royal family would pay compensation for his actions, a shiver ran through his body, the sage would certainly not let what happened today pass!!
"yes... I will do that... Is there anything else you want?" The saint restrained himself and asked
"Nothing, stay safe on your journey back!" Robin gave a big smile and pointed towards the door.
The saint almost passed out, today was one of the most humiliating days of his life... But he decided not to make matters worse, so he nodded in the direction of Robin and walked out silently...
after the saint left, Robin rubbed his chin for a few seconds, then spoke, " talking in the ring in front of others is quite awkward, some changes need to be made..."
After he walked out, Billy shook his head with a laugh, "haha what are you on about? I don't know what happened before I came here, but watching your way of treating that man was hurtful ... at least respect his age, you rude bastard."
"Just because someone came out from his mother's womb before me, it doesn't mean that I have to respect him... respect is earned!
Whatever, let's get to the point, Is there anything I should know about the situation in the new lands? how many of our kin died so far? are the factories built yet?" Robin found himself a chair in front of Billy
"Sigh~ the situation is not very good... even with all our precautions, at least 3000 men were killed during the last 8 months...
We chose the places of the factories to be far from each other to cover all the new lands for two reasons, that is to influence all the inhabitants and not favor one place over the others... the other reason is to use the *factories* frontage and fortify them to be our own castles there...
the categorized weapons factories are very important and need to be their own fortresses, and of course, we can use them as bases to run the new lands...
if the rebels knew our plans to build some kind of castles on their land to solidify our defensive position they wouldn't let us build one block!
and according to this, we went back to dividing the army into five battalions with each Saint leading one of them in order to protect the factories that are currently being built…
But this caused the armies to become subject to sieges and attacks from Rebels daily... if the Five Saints were not there, our armies would have been annihilated a few months ago...
Another reason for our success in keeping our lives so far is the inability of the rebels to mobilize large forces, and this is because of the spread of the news as we agreed!
There is great anticipation in the new lands, most of them want to see what will really happen on the last day of the year that we announced, especially all the major families, they have left the rebellion systems, at least apparently they no longer have anything to do with it, and this weakened the rebels significantly...
But let me tell you something, Robin... if the time runs out and we don't keep our promises, I'm afraid we'll say goodbye to those lands forever...."
