Meanwhile, in the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom...

"Damn it, Snows!"

"You truly did it!" James Cromwell angrily said as he rose from his throne and threw the newspaper he had just read to the floor.

"And the wretches still dared to execute Dean in such a manner..." The supreme elder of this family commented as he stood beside King Cromwell, being much calmer than James despite everything.

The supreme elder, level 58, then looked at James significantly and said. "That is truly a humiliation for us..."

Upon hearing this, James' angry red face suddenly shook while his long white hair swayed softly. "These bastards will learn what happens to those who defy me!"

"General Newman, give the orders for action against the Snow family!"

Gulp!

Several swallowing sounds came out of the throats of the various people in that place, many fearful of what would happen after such a decision was made.

Even more so after this shocking event in the Brown Kingdom!

General Newman then looked carefully at that sovereign and asked about it. "Your Majesty, will we truly do this? What about the situation in the Brown Kingdom? What will we do about it?"

Everyone there had already read about the shocking events that had developed in the Maritime City a few days ago. And although they were astonished by it all, it was undeniable that the situation involving them seemed more important than the problems of others.

After all, other people's misfortune would rarely bother others as much as their own!

The Brown family might lose everything, but that would still be less significant to House Cromwell than them losing a single member of high-ranking royalty themselves. 

Therefore, although worried about that event, most there had the event in the Snow Kingdom as the worst, the most significant potential loss to their side.

"What's with the Brown family? Let them solve their own problems!"

"We can't afford to worry about other people's problems when the Snows' actions are tarnishing our name."

"Not only that, the fall of the Chambers family is far more significant to us than the loss of a naval fleet to the Browns." James said still nervously, not giving much thought to his neighbor's problems.

"But they even summoned our representatives..." General Newman was about to speak about this fact but was soon interrupted by the king's speech.

"It doesn't matter!"

"In any case, we will find out about it when our representatives return, and nothing that happens in that state will change our situation!"

"How are other regional organizations going to continue to fear us if we don't give the proper response to the Snows' inconsequential actions?"

"Newman, make it quick!"

"I don't want to hear any more of your voice until this is done!"

...

While King James was shouting at his Generals in Capital City, the Stone family's high-level people were gathered at the Stone Island royal government headquarters.

At this moment, the three most vital individuals of that family were gathered in a living area of a large mansion on the Stone family estate.

In this place, there were sofas, tables, in short, a fully integrated area with three different spaces. They were a kitchen, a leisure area, where there was a large swimming pool, and a large living room.

In that place, the three specialists were next to each other, two of them playing a typical game for the elderly, something that if you were not at least 600, it would be difficult to enjoy it...

And while these two were playing, a woman who appeared to be in her late middle age was sitting elegantly in a large armchair. She was reading the news published by the two leading regional periodicals.

"It seems that our little friend is acting against the Brown Kingdom..." That level 59 woman said to her two younger brothers, still focused on the story about the event in Maritime City.

"Oh?"

"I wonder what he is planning? Is he going to force himself against the Brown Kingdom?" The youngest of the three, a man with white hair and beard, said this as he looked at his sister, the person considered the strongest in the Stone family, even if the three were at the same level. "Will it be all right?"

"I don't know..." Lorelei Stone replied, finally looking at her two brothers.

One of them was Eugene Stone, the current ruler of this state, the middle brother, and the youngest, Gavin Stone, who had just asked such questions.

They knew that the recent events in Maritime City had a good chance of being the work of the organization behind the high-end food brought cheaply to Stone Island through Elen.

After all, besides knowing about the naval base in that territory, they had made a non-aggression agreement with Minos years ago. That was something this young man had signed with Gavin months after Elen departed from Dry City. And such a thing had made it quite clear to them that he intended to act on the continent!

That is, there was no reason for Minos to want to sign a non-aggression agreement with an organization that didn't even know of his existence at that time.

Non-aggression agreements were useful things between rivals, long-known enemies, individuals who could have an advantage by not worrying about conflict with each other.

But the Stone family and Minos did not fit this profile. So, there was no reason for young Stuart to give advantage to this royal family at that time through such an agreement.

And since the leaders of that family were no fools, they had understood that the organization behind Minos would do something dangerous in the future that might put them on opposite sides.

So, they knew that something would happen at some point and that it was more likely to happen in the Brown Kingdom, where that group had been operating.

As for why they accepted such an agreement, well, that was simply because a non-aggression agreement was just that. Having a non-aggression agreement just meant that they would not attack each other!

Or rather, having such an agreement did not mean that they were allies or were helping Minos' group.

As for what Minos' side might do in the future, that was entirely up to their own organization and would have no bearing on the Stone family.

But as Minos had offered high-level food supplies in exchange for that, they had seen no problem in accepting his deal, even though they knew something would happen.

At the very least, they would not be harmed!

In any case, considering all the evidence related to that incident, the circumstances on Stone Island, as well as the resources coming from that organization, these people had associated this news with Minos.

Lorelei then thought about this matter and shared her thoughts with her brothers. "Maybe he is supporting some local organization to rebel against the Brown family?"

"It must be on account of the Counter-Revolutionary Statute that he made such an agreement with us."

"Oh?" King Stone finally said something, realizing what young Stuart was probably doing in that place. "Why would he seek such a thing? Aren't he and his organization afraid of what might happen by trying to influence regional powers?"

They didn't know that the so-called organization they had signed a non-aggression agreement was based in the Black Plain.

After all, foods of high spiritual concentration did not grow in this northern region of the Central Continent. Consequently, they had thought the obvious.

Minos and his organization were not from this region!

Therefore, that ruler couldn't help but question such a thing.

But while they were thinking about it, it wasn't long before Lorelei shook her head, giving up on the subject, realizing that this had nothing to do with them.

"It doesn't matter."

"If they get killed, it won't affect us much since we never promised any kind of help." 

"The most we will face will be the problem of having to refuse our involvement in any fighting rebellion against them."

"But our gains already outweigh our potential losses, even if that young man's organization was destroyed by the Spiritual Church yesterday."

"Just keep an eye on the Church's actions regarding the Brown Kingdom."

"We will know what will happen from their actions!"
