To ascend to the throne smoothly, Prince Claude must first deal with the Alpha People. He doesn't hope for their support, but at the very least, they shouldn't cause trouble.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, I know what you're worried about. The reconstruction of the Black Forest Kingdom is imperative, and delaying further will only make the situation worse.
The Alpha Kingdom has just annexed the Orc Empire and is busy digesting the spoils of war, so they have no time to attend to the Central Continent.
Even if they had the energy to interfere, there's only a minor dispute between us, not a life-and-death situation.
If they didn't have this level of tolerance, the Alpha Kingdom wouldn't have reached its current stature.
As long as the interests can be negotiated, the previous unpleasantness can all be considered nonexistent."
Prince Claude said sincerely.
