King Robert, knowing his good brother, was somewhat mentally prepared for the shocking event to come.
However, as a man, as a king, the things he was about to hear were not something he could face calmly just because he was mentally prepared.
Even though Lann had the clearest understanding of the entire sequence of events, he definitely didn't want to be the one to tell Robert these things.
Words from a good brother can be comforting, but words from an outsider are just ridicule.
Lann saw himself as an outsider.
Edd slowed his horse down, turned around to ride alongside Robert, and took a moment to catch his breath after galloping.
"Phew—Robert, we need to find a quiet place to talk, at least get back to your carriage."
On the king's chubby face, his eyes squinted, but unlike before, he didn't burst into curses about how 'men should ride on horseback.'
Instead, he was quite calm and rational.
