Josiah was originally the Capital’s governor.
In the election a few years ago, all the candidates belonging to the capital’s major forces were eliminated, giving him a chance to rise to power and become King.
Judging from his achievements in the past few years, he was indeed a decent king for the country and its people. Despite being the King of Sol, he still showed respect to Zacarius and James.
He knew Sol would not be where it was today if it was not for both of them.
Zacarius approached the two and sat next to them. He looked at James, saying with a smile, “Dragon King, what a rare visitor. It’s been so long since you last visited Peace Mansion. What brings you here? Is something the matter?”
“I’d like to be the king.”
“...”
Josiah was stunned.
He gave Zacarius a baffled look.
Zacarius narrowed his eyes.
He did not believe James.
From his perspective, James simply coveted the position of king.
“James, that’s not going to happen. I’ve already told you. If you want to become king, then you’ll need to wait for the next election in over twenty years’ time.”
Zacarius held firm to his words.
“I’ve already said what I need to. I’ll give you two a few days to think about it.”
James uttered his piece, turned, and left.
After he left, Josiah asked, “What’s going on, Mr. Thybaut?”
Zacarius recounted James’ words from earlier.
Stunned, Josiah asked, “What?! Is this real?”
“Of course, it’s not.”
Zacarius did not believe James at all.
James left.
His trip to Peace Mansion did not go smoothly.
