58-secret conversation




'That's all!

Inspector Josh finishes his report.

'Simon, what do you think?'
The King asks,
'He certainly seems to have a cruel streak. His punishment of my brothers was quite severe.
But that's only for the Rigsbys.
His men may fear him a bit, but he seems to be loyal to his country.

Simon replies as he sees fit.

The king says with a little laugh.

'To be honest, I was scared. I felt like a frog stared at by a snake. My skill level is probably in the middle to lower range, but I don't think I could beat him on the battlefield, let alone face-to-face.
Sergeant Josh speaks up.
The inspector is strong. Because it's their job to make sure the people they're inspecting don't escape.

'Hmm, a snake stared at me. I see. Okay, I've got an idea! And the Empire's bonkers third prince, that would be Ensign Patrick, right? Isn't there a department that could make better use of the Second Lieutenant? What a waste, huh?

The King said.
'Certainly. But how should we use him? I'm sure he'd be great at assassination, rear distraction, and the like, but we don't have a department like that.

'If we don't have one, we can make one!
