Chapter 394 Private meeting with the king

The other servants led the dwarven group to the manor that had been prepared for them.

But for the three of us, we were led to a private room in the castle.

The dwarves were hesitant to go at first, but I was able to convince them to go in the end.

When they left, they couldn't help turning back to look at me like worried lovers…even though they were a bunch of short scruffy men…

That definitely wasn't a sight that I had wanted to see.

But after they were gone, I couldn't help knitting my brows.

It was the same for Scar and Shaka.

All three of us knew that there had to be a special reason that we had been summoned like this and it most likely wasn't a good reason.

However, we didn't really have a choice.

After all, the person who was summoning us was the king.

He was the only one that could command the servants of the castle like this.

If it wasn't him, there was no one else who could summon us like this in this castle.

So it could only be the king who was summoning us.

As I expected, it was the king that walked into the room after we waited for a while.

He didn't even bother greeting us as he walked over to the couch in front of us and sat down.

When we were about to stand up and bow to him, the king just waved his hand and said, "It's fine, just act as you were."

All three of us looked at each other with awkward looks, but we remained sitting in the end.

There was a silence that hung in the air when the king sat down.

He just sat there with narrowed eyes as he looked at us, almost as if he was scoping us up.

But I knew that he was actually looking at me.

After all, this whole thing started with me.

After a long silence, he finally said, "What's the damage?"

I didn't say anything and just left it to Scar.

When Scar heard this, he took out a piece of paper that he had in his pocket the whole time and placed it on the table.

The king took it and looked it over before turning to me to say, "How much?"

I calmly looked back at him and said, "Half."

The king once again narrowed his eyes to look at me for a bit before slowly giving a nod as if he accepted this.

Both Scar and I couldn't help being taken aback when we saw this.

After all, neither of us had expected the king to accept this so easily.

Then he asked, "Will you sell the rest?"

I slowly gave a nod.

He looked down at the piece of paper and asked, "At the price listed here?"

Once again I gave a slow nod.

The king gave a nod this time and said, "Alright, that's acceptable."

Once again, I was surprised by this.

The negotiations seemed like they were going too smoothly…

But that meant that there was something off.

After all, this was the king of this kingdom…if he just easily agreed to every condition that we had, it wouldn't make sense since that would go against his pride as the king.

So just what was his ploy here?

I slowly looked at him and waited for him to continue speaking, but the king just sat there in silence.

After a long while, he finally asked, "I heard that you also had your own mines."

When I heard this, I felt like this was it.

This was most likely what he was after.

If they were able to get some mines in the Dwarven Kingdom, that would without a doubt be a large card for the future. If they had these mines, they would be able to start messing around in the Dwarven Kingdom and seeing if they could take down the Dwarven Kingdom.

Of course, that was something that I couldn't go along with, so I had every intention of rejecting this.

But before I could say a thing, the king said, "We'll buy the ores that you sell from those mines that you own at the same price as the other ores. That is as long as you are willing to sell."

I once again was caught off guard since I never expected him to say this.

After coming back to my senses, I carefully looked at the king and it didn't seem like he was kidding.

It seemed like he really was planning on going through with this.

But why?

It just didn't make any sense.

Seeing that i was just staring at him without saying anything, the king ignored my caution and continued by saying, "As for the workers for transporting these goods…"

He didn't finish his sentence and picked up the piece of paper to look at it again.

"Ah, so that's how it is." I said to myself.

He was giving me all this just so he could argue for sending his own people to the Dwarven Kingdom.

All the material goods meant nothing as long as he was able to get people into the Dwarven Kingdom.

So that must be the reason why he had accepted all those conditions that easily.

But once again, before I was able to say anything, the king said, "Scar has already submitted your proposal and I agree with it. You will be in charge of the transport and we'll be in charge of security."

lightsΝοvεl ?οm My chin dropped as I looked at the king.

This was basically agreeing to all my conditions without saying a single thing.

This was the dream condition…

So why was it happening?

Then the atmosphere changed as the king narrowed his eyes to look at me before saying, "What is your play here?"
