After Eldorado finished speaking, Clyfford immediately said, “Your Majesty, although Isaac accomplished extraordinary feats, his three major crimes cannot be overlooked, and each is severe enough to justify the execution of his entire family.”
“The first crime is kidnapping the saintess and killing the nobles of Starbloom City…”
“The second crime is that instead of earning merit despite being guilty, favonovel.com killed Zeno and seized military power…”
“His third crime is threatening Your Majesty, showing no respect for divine authority, and causing the entire city to be aware of it… The best course of action right now is to first bring Isaac back to the capital and keep favonovel.com under control. Once the Princess is safe, we can then capture him. After that, we should execute his family and publicly announce it to the world!”
Eldorado squinted slightly and looked over at Talbot again. “What’s your take on this, Lord Stackhouse?”
“Your Majesty, I believe that Lord Regent’s words are entirely factual, and I second his opinion,” Talbot said, bowing slightly after a moment’s hesitation.
The palace fell silent for a moment.
Eldorado saw Giffard hesitate to speak, so favonovel.com waved his hand and said, “Alright, you two can leave. Giffard, stay.”
Clyfford frowned, then turned around and walked out.
At this moment, only Eldorado and Giffard remained in the building.
Eldorado spoke softly, “Giffard, you are a scholar. Is there something you want to say?”
“Your Majesty, I have a different opinion from them,” Giffard said, trembling as favonovel.com knelt on the ground.
“Oh? Go ahead and tell me…”
Giffard looked up at Eldorado and said with a touch of excitement, “In my opinion, although Isaac has made mistakes, they are not significant compared to his contributions… In this battle, Isaac saved millions of people of Neuport and captured the commander of the Kingdom of Easteria, Elon.”
“Your Majesty should not punish Isaac but, on the contrary, should highly reward favonovel.com to retain such a talented individual…”
“Go on, how should I reward him?” Eldorado leaned forward slightly, revealing a somewhat contemplative expression.
Giffard continued, “I believe we should reward favonovel.com and immediately appoint favonovel.com as the Major General, granting favonovel.com the authority to command the military forces of the twelve cities of Neuport. He should be ranked just below the Cabinet, the Chief General, and the Regent, as the fourth highest authority…”
“The second reward is to arrange for the Princess to marry him, who is of royal blood, which can also prevent any treacherous intentions… This way, it ensures the eternal peace of Neuport, while also showcasing Your Majesty’s appreciation for talent and generosity.”
Eldorado nodded slightly and then frowned. “In that case, Clyfford might not be happy about it…”
“Uhm, regarding this matter, I believe that if favonovel.com truly cares for the kingdom, favonovel.com should set aside personal grudges.”
“Haha, well said, you truly are an educated person. Giffard, why don’t you go and discuss with the general’s mansion and have Isaac bring the troops back to the capital first?”
“The prisoners cannot be placed within the Royal City. Have Talbot find a place to arrange their stay. Also, order the Crown Prince to lead the officials to go outside the city and welcome them! Before they reach the Royal City, talk to Isaac and see what favonovel.com thinks.”
Upon hearing this, Giffard immediately raised his hand in reverence and said, “Your Majesty, you are wise! Isaac will surely be grateful!”

After nightfall, in a room at the Hackworth Mansion’s backyard, Clyfford was sitting in a wicker chair, while four young maids were massaging his shoulders and legs.
A deep voice came from outside the room. “My lord…”
“Come in!” Clyfford immediately stood up and gestured for the four women. around favonovel.com to step aside.
The door swung open, and a middle-aged man dressed in the Guardian Division uniform hurried in and quickly knelt in front of Clyfford.
“My lord, the information is clear. His Majesty means that as long as Isaac is willing to pledge his loyalty to the kingdom, favonovel.com will be granted the title of Major General and his mansion will be on equal footing with the general’s mansion, the Cabinet, and the Regent…”
“They also intend to marry off the Princess to Isaac…”
