Hearing Mayor Jong's reply, Leo can't help feeling why it sounded like he was depressed or that he doesn't want what he was giving him. He thought, "Is the Sandy Town perhaps loyal to the Silver royal family that's why they don't like us being here?"
It was really out of Leo's expectations that Mayor Jong actually still doesn't have any idea who won the war in the Silver Kingdom or that the war had actually ended already. In Mayor Jong's mind, his arrival here was to ask for men to send into the war.
"Here," Leo said as he handed the new alliance contract to Mayor Jong. He can't help thinking inwardly, "Maybe through this alliance contract he would change his mind and no longer be loyal to the Silver royal family anymore."
Mayor Jong hesitated while watching the letter from Leo's hand. He was contemplating inside his mind whether to accept the letter or not. But in the end, he still chooses to accept the letter.
Slowly, Mayor Jong opened the letter as he right after began reading its 'depressing' content.
However, the more Mayor Jong reads, the more excited he became. He can't help looking at Leo and the letter from time to time, still feeling doubtful whether what he was reading right now was correct or not.
Finally, when Mayor Jong finished reading the letter, he heaves a long sigh before turning to look at Leo, "Is everything written here the truth?"
"Yes!" Leo nodded his head as he can't help thinking that the content of the letter had definitely changed Mayor Jong's standing and that he's no longer loyal to the Silver royal family.
"So the war is already over?" Mayor Jong can't help wanting to confirm.
"Wait what?!" Leo immediately exclaimed inwardly, "What does Mayor Jong meant about that the war is already over? Didn't he just say he knew about the war in Silver Kingdom, so he should have known that it had ended already, right? Or was it that, he knew that there is a war in Silver Kingdom but doesn't yet know that the Mischievous Lion organization had won? Considering their location, then that's most likely the case. So that means..."
He finally understood that Mayor Jong's depressed look before when looking at the alliance contract was actually because he had misunderstood something. As for what kind of misunderstanding it was, only one way to find out...
"Did you perhaps misunderstood something, Mayor Jong?" Leo asked, hoping to clear the misunderstanding.
"Yeah..." Mayor Jong can't help scratching the back of his head while feeling embarrassed. He explained, "I really thought that you were here to ask for people to send to war..."
"Oh, so that's why, hahaha!" Leo said while chuckling. He then added, "Actually, the war in Silver Kingdom has already ended a few days ago with the Mischievous Lion organization winning the war. The new royal family is now the Heart Noble Household... No, I mean, the Heart royal family. And I'm, Leo Heart, one of the three princes of the Lionheart Kingdom."
Hearing that Leo was actually a prince, Mayor Jong and everyone hurriedly bowed their heads.
"We apologize for our presumptuous action, Prince Leo!" Mayor Jong apologized.
"We apologize, Prince Leo!"
"We apologize, Prince Leo!"
Leo was immediately rendered speechless while looking at the scene in front of him right now. He can't help turning to look at the others behind him, who he soon saw were actually holding their laughter.
"You would get used to such a treatment soon," Ethan tapped Leo's shoulder to console him.
"Now you know how uncomfortable it feels for a lot of people to bow their heads every time they meet us," Edward tapped Leo's other shoulder.
As members of the previous Silver royal family, Ethan and Edward had experienced many times already being greeted in the same manner as Mayor Jong. Although they were members of the Silver royal family and should long expect already that being treated in such a way is only natural, but they still can't help feeling uncomfortable. Maybe it's because they just don't want to be treated in such a way, rather they preferred a friendly greeting like shaking hands and the likes.
If Leo knew about Ethan and Edward's feelings in the past, then he would have definitely voluntarily resigned in becoming a Prince as it was very troublesome to be treated in such a manner like this. But remembering that the one who would be ruling the Lionheart Kingdom is his Master Olivia, his older brother Reinhart's wife, then even if he voluntarily resigned he would still not be able to escape becoming a Prince of the Lionheart Kingdom since his family name was 'Heart'.
That's actually the reason why even though he wasn't yet officially recognized as a Prince of the Lionheart Kingdom, he was confident in introducing himself as 'Prince Leo' as he knew that it wouldn't be long for him to be recognized as one, even if when that day comes he had long already begun his journey outside of Lionheart Kingdom.
Unfortunately, he now realized that he shouldn't have done that, since what would follow after was...
"Prince Leo, we should speak instead in a place befitting of your status. Please, come, let me show you how we, the Sand race, welcome our great benefactor like you!" Mayor Jong said as he enthusiastically motioned his hand to come with them to the Sandy Town.
"Aysttt..." Leo could only shake his head helplessly. Fortunately, Steve wasn't here, as he wasn't planning on letting that guy know what his real name was yet. It would have been more troublesome that way.
Since it was already like this, with no other choice, Leo could only come with Mayor Jong to Sandy Town. Of course, he didn't forget to trouble... to invite Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, Charlotte, Ethan, Elaine, Edward, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, Sele, Old man Torre, Lex, and Virgil to come with him as well.
It was them that had laughed at his misfortune, so he would never forget to cause trouble with them.
Seeing that Prince Leo had invited some people, Mayor Jong immediately assumed that they were his friends and hence enthusiastically invited them as well.
"You...!" Cassandra and the others pointed their hands at Leo in disbelief.
Obviously, none of them also wanted to experience what was coming. They'd rather stay in this place rather than go in and be respectfully welcome by the people of Sandy Town.
"Please, friends of Prince Leo, let us, the Sand race, officially welcome you to our Sandy Town!" Mayor Jong begged while his other hand had already motioned for the others to prepare the welcoming ceremony at Sandy Town.
Seeing this, those guards that came with Mayor Jong immediately prompted their mounts to go back to Sandy Town and prepare the welcoming ceremony for Prince Leo and his friends. But, quickly realizing that it would be disrespectful and rude to not give Prince Leo and his friends a proper ride, they quickly disembarked on their Red Lizards and choose to turn themselves into sand to travel fast towards Sandy Town.
"Isn't it a bit troublesome to let your people rush the preparation?" Leo quickly found a way to refuse to have a welcoming ceremony after realizing that they haven't prepared any welcoming ceremony yet.
"No trouble at all!" Mayor Jong shook his head. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up as he said, "How about this. I'll go tour you to Sandy Town first before we proceed to the welcoming ceremony. In this way, they would have ample time to prepare?"
"I..." Leo doesn't know whether he should laugh or not after hearing Mayor Jong's words. This guy is really stubborn!
"Come, come, come, let me introduce to you the Sandy Town!" Mayor Jong proceeded with the tour, not even wanting to wait for Prince Leo and the others to agree.
Leo was even more speechless seeing Mayor Jong's action. Does this guy really think that we will just follow him just because he had said so?
He turned to look at the others, wanting to know how they would handle this.
"No matter what you do, the Sand race isn't someone you can easily refuse, especially when they are happy," Ethan informed Leo as he walked towards a Red Lizard and helped Elaine ride on top before he soon followed after.
"If it was other people, they would have felt embarrassed already knowing that they didn't prepare a welcoming ceremony for a Prince-like you. But for the Sand race, the word thick-face and shameless doesn't exist in their dictionary. And if you straightforwardly refuse them, they would forever not like you." Edward added as he also chooses a Red Lizard and helped Sele go up before he soon followed after.
"I'm really stupid," Leo can't help mocking himself. To be honest, he actually doesn't have any idea about such a thing. Though, since it was impossible to try and refuse as the consequences were a lot more troublesome, then what else could he do aside from just complying with it.
Stare!
But of course, he wouldn't forget about Cassandra and the others.
"Come, let me help my beautiful and lovely women to go up to their mounts," Leo smiles wryly. It wasn't only the welcoming ceremony that's troublesome, Cassandra and the others were also another. Though, he'd rather choose the latter than the former since at least he was enjoying it even though it was troublesome.
