Jack continued to check the officer overview. Peniel once mentioned officers with loyalty points above level eighty could be considered loyal subjects already. With the three highest leaders of the army loyal to him, he no longer worried about insubordination from the army. He also checked the officers who had joined the rebellion. Armstrong had given him a written record of the list before he left Themelot. Half of these officers were still below seventy loyalty points, with some even below 60. But the other half was the same as Arther. Their loyalty points shot up to more than what they were before, with many nearing eighty loyalty points. He used the Mass Pay function then. Afterward, he checked the half that had low loyalty points. Before, some officers increased very few loyalty points or even none at all after the mass pay. These officers were also the ones who joined the rebellion. Now, all these low loyalty officers increased their loyalty stat by around three to four points after the mass pay. This showed that they were now ready to accept Jack's rule. Jack heaved a relieved breath. 'Let's hope this rebel issue is now behind us,' he thought. But he knew that to truly maintain these officers' loyalty was to show his fairness to the native population. John's lawmaker players continued drafting regulations that help in that department. He called Thaergood to take a look at the ones that had been drafted. Together, they reviewed these laws to make sure that everything was in order. Jack spent the day doing that as well as any issues Thaergood needed his involvement in. Thaergood was happy about this. Normally, Jack just pushed everything to the monthly schedule. Thaergood also informed Jack that a representative from Palgrost came bearing a gift when Jack was out, accompanied by a message, "This is your agreed share." The gift was three hundred sixty thousand gold coins which had been deposited to the kingdom coffer. Jack was stunned. The agreement with Thelgrun was fifteen percent. This meant all the gold bull bosses Jack had killed in the Daedalus labyrinth had given Palgrost more than two million gold coins! That labyrinth wonder building indeed provided wonders. But then again, the wonder only happened if he was the one entering it. He wondered if he should go to Palgrost and strike a better deal with Thelgrun. Maybe when he had free time, he still had lots of tasks to carry out at the moment. He had also dealt with five affairs during the time he was at Darmos' hut until now. Out of five completed affairs, he got one perfect result. The perfect result gave him ninety-five thousand merit points and five ruling powers. For the remaining four affairs, he got two hundred thirty thousand merit points. These merit points were not enough to level up his sovereign level. He needed around twenty-seven thousand more merit points. He could only be patient as he sent Jeanny the details on the new affairs. John came back in the afternoon. Jack reminded him to not screw Themelot anymore from now. Jack wanted that city's stats to get to a prosperous state as soon as possible. John assured Jack that this was also his intention. The next day, Darmos just appeared inside the palace out of nowhere. Because no one knew him, he was considered an intruder. Two soldiers tried to drag him out. Luckily, Jack was nearby. He hurriedly interfered before those two soldiers were hurt. He then summoned Thaergood and Isabelle to announce to every soldier and officer in this capital that Darmos was to be allowed free reign. The old draconian was free to go wherever he wanted and everyone had to give Darmos proper respect. The two advisors were confused about such privileged treatment of this unknown draconian, but they followed Jack's instructions. In disguise, Jack took Darmos touring around the capital, which didn't impress Darmos much, until they entered Ellie's restaurant.
