Chapter 568: Chapter 333, Father King, The Era Has Changed
Eureka was still pondering over the role of the political commissar in the Alliance Army when a call woke him from his reverie.
“Eureka Pambos?”
Eureka raised his head a bit uncomfortably, as it was rare in his life to be called by his name like that.
Of course, he still knew it was him being called.
Standing not far from him was a woman wearing a long black coat, bearing a strange insignia, and a short dagger at her waist.
Despite her small stature, her sharp eyes sent a chill down his spine.
Eureka stood up without speaking, his intention clear.
The lady, who didn’t seem to be a military person but appeared to be someone special in the military, continued, “Come with me.”
So, Eureka followed her to a temporary room within the prisoner-of-war camp, where he met a man who always seemed to be smiling.
The man stood up to greet them as soon as they pushed the door open.
He first nodded to the lady in the long black coat, and with a smile said, “You’ve worked hard, Lady Derong.”
“Hmm.” Demon Hunter Milia De Rong nodded slightly and then left.
She had much work to do next, needed to select several suitable individuals to be sent back who could assist the Alliance Government in its comprehensive rule over Rage Owl Star, leaving her no time to dwell here.
Bringing Prince Eureka over was simply because she had been familiarizing herself with the conditions of this POW camp for two days and was relatively well-acquainted with it.
Another reason was she didn’t want to stay in that room. The man there, who had been a colleague of her older sister at the Loyal Heir Academy, named Nicola Salihoovich, always appeared smiling, but she found it uncomfortable to be with him, as if something was watching her all the time.
According to her sister, the current Chief of Academic Affairs at Loyal Heir Academy Haier Si Morgan, Salihoovich wasn’t always like this. One day, he suddenly had an epiphany, as if he had received some kind of inspiration, gaining the ability to see through people’s hearts, and if one conversed with him a bit longer, they were easily persuaded by him.
Milia felt that it was more like ‘tempting.’
Of course, Haier Si Morgan also mentioned that she herself seemed to have changed at the same time. The difference was that her ‘epiphany’ lay in boosting morale, teaching students to be more loyal, and having a more remarkable understanding of ideological and political theory.
After both had received some kind of enlightenment and felt they had grown a lot, Salihoovich was transferred out of Loyal Heir Academy and took a position at the Alliance Government’s Foreign Affairs Department.
Milia De Rong never expected that this man, whom she only knew from chatting with her sister, would one day work with her on Heijian Star.
Although according to Haier Si Morgan, Salihoovich was essentially a good person, but… although she was not acquainted with Salihoovich and had not personally experienced his special skills, she had no desire to experience them either.
Let that native prince experience it.
…
At that moment, Prince Eureka felt refreshed.
The communication with the foreign diplomat was the most comfortable time he had since he had been captured after the war ended.
The diplomat’s words always struck home, making him involuntarily follow the other’s suggestions.
In the end, he nodded to Salihoovich and said, “Mr. Diplomat, I will do everything in my power to help you, hoping to eliminate the war.”
Salihoovich stood up and said to Eureka with great solemnity and respect, “You are the Empire’s most loyal subject, and I salute you.”
…
A month later, Salihoovich and Prince Eureka, now dressed in fitting attire, sat together on the Wind Falcon bound for the heartland of Panbos Kingdom.
He was a diplomat, and of course, he was on a diplomatic mission.
Seated, he gazed admiringly at Prince Eureka, who was sitting upright in front of him, with his back to him.
His upcoming task largely required this person’s assistance.
Therefore, in this past month, besides constantly communicating with local historians and political scholars to learn about the political history and traditional culture of Heijian Star and understand the current political landscape of this planet, the rest of his time was mostly spent on this prince.
He drew upon his old skills of teaching at Loyal Heir Academy, along with the help of an army political commissar, and consistently worked on the prince’s ideological stance.
The results were significant.
Even though he had persuaded Prince Eureka to accept his proposal a month ago, it was still unstable.
Having been ‘enlightened,’ Salihoovich’s abilities had greatly improved. However, it wasn’t as supernatural as rumors suggested, nor did he possess any supernatural powers. He had always been skilled at understanding people, communicating, and sharing heartfelt moments. Now, he just had a better grasp of these skills.
He could catch people’s states of mind from details that others might miss, such as slight movements, micro-expressions, and changes in tone; he also honed his verbal skills more precisely, including how to use the right expressions and tones when speaking. Combining these two methods was the source of his seemingly heart-penetrating and heart-bewitching abilities.
