Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 3262 The Regent

On the other side of the video call, Elder Carr's gaze sharpened with a subtle intensity as he scrutinized King Gadel, his thoughts engaged in a deep evaluation. This newly crowned sovereign was undoubtedly a man of significant depth, as evidenced by his composed

demeanor.

For a figure so astute and formidable, it seemed inconceivable that he could be manipulated by others.

Although Elder Carr did not fully grasp the role and authority of the Prime Regent of Montiria, the astonished and incredulous expressions on the faces of those surrounding Gadel were impossible to ignore.

"King Gadel, may I request some clarification about this regent position?"

Blake, rather than providing an immediate response, turned his attention towards Gadel.

"Certainly. This is a matter of mutual agreement."

Gadel inclined his head slightly. Should the other party decline, he could not compel their acceptance.

"The role of Prime Regent has been integral to Montiria since its early days. The regent assists the king in managing all officials."

"Moreover, the regent holds the highest status in the kingdom, second only to the king himself."

Blake's brows knitted together. The regent's power seemed to exceed even that of a Prime Minister during the feudal era of Cathay.

Such a vast degree of authority-could King Gadel truly rest peacefully at night?

"So, what precisely do we or rather Matthew-need to provide in exchange?"

Elder Carr's inquiry prompted a gentle smile to grace Gadel's lips.

"I ascended to the throne with Matthew's assistance. To me, Matthew is a true friend. Thus, Matthew is only required to aid Montiria in times of peril. As for Cathay... I have not reached the point of seeking aid from other nations. However, Montiria is eager to forge a friendship with Cathay," said Gadel.

Ultimately, Gadel's words swayed Elder Carr.

He gave a slow nod and then declared, "Cathay will grant its approval. I will contact Matthew shortly to confirm his willingness."

"Should Matthew decline the position of Prime Regent..."

"We will not impose it upon him."

Gadel nodded in agreement, "Naturally."

As the screen faded to black,

signaling the end of their momentous discussion, the atmosphere in the royal bed chamber was charged with tension. The highest-ranking ministers of Montiria, drenched in sweat, understood perfectly why Gadel had summoned them at such an hour.

It was all in preparation for Matthew to assume the role of Prime Regent.

This position had been abolished long ago, which had been acceptable. However, with its reinstatement, they would not allow anyone else to claim it. Anticipating their resistance, Gadel had summoned them directly to the palace.

"Gentlemen, do any of you have objections to the reinstatement and appointment of the regent?"

Gadel's voice was soothing, yet his smile was a veneer over a much darker intent. Gadel had a habit of showing this seemingly benign smile before enacting his will.

"We believe Your Majesty's decision is impeccable. Matthew is a great benefactor to Montiria. Without him, the state of the kingdom could have been dire. No one but Matthew is worthy of the regent position"

The ministers' thoughts raced, yet none dared voice their dissent. They exchanged nervous glances with the guards, who had subtly placed their hands on their sword hilts and cursed inwardly.

How can you ask for our opinion with your hand on your sword?

"No, no, our words come from the heart. Besides Mr. Matthew Larson, we would follow no one else!"

"Indeed! Only Mr. Matthew Larson is truly deserving of the role!"
