"Lord Huan Tian, what if the Prefecture Lords betray the tribe and join the enemy tribe just to escape this Conqueror's Battlefield? We cannot afford to lose King Realm experts when they are the ones maintaining the power balance among the tribes."
At this question, Ashen's tone turned serious as he asked: "Are you doubting the Prefecture Lords' loyalty towards the tribe?"
The Minister was immediately taken aback as he instantly denied the accusation:
"No, I didn't mean it like that. Of course, I believe in the loyalty the prefecture Lords have for the tribe."
"Oh, then why does your question not reflect this?" Ashen asked sarcastically.
The Minister couldn't answer as his head hung low in defeat.
Even then, Ashen answered his question: "Still, I'll answer your question."
The Minister was instantly delighted by this proclamation.
