Chapter 913: It’s time
Chapter 913: It’s time
It was as if the second prince had completely disappeared from the capital during this time.
He didn't leave a single trace of himself and no one seemed to know where he went.
But at the same time, it didn't seem like anyone knew where he had gone.
Was this because of his influence or was it because they were afraid of him?
It was hard to tell at this point since I had interacted enough with the ministers of the Midra Kingdom to see that it was both of these things.
It seemed that he inspired fear in those that were against him and he had great influence on those that were under him.
From this, it wasn't hard to tell what kind of person the second prince was.
But that just made him harder to read...
In the end, the second prince reappeared in the capital and called us to meet.
It was through the one that he sent to my side that he called us and we were brought to the same study as before.
The second prince was there waiting for us just like before.
When we came in, the first thing that he did was...
"Your majesty, I'm sorry for what my countrymen have done to you. I hope that you allow me to make up for this mistake."
The second prince once again bowed his head when he said this.
All of us were caught off guard since we never expected the second prince to open up with this.
I had expected him to mention this since this was a pretty big matter, but I never thought that he would be this direct with it. I definitely didn't expect him to suddenly apologize for them as well.
Seeing him like this, there was an awkward look that was on my face for a while before I finally spoke.
"Alright, get up. We can't talk if you keep bowing your head like this." I said this with a sigh since I didn't know what else to say in this situation.
The second prince kept his head down for a bit, but he eventually lifted his head and sat down at the table before gesturing for me to do the same.
Once we sat down, the second prince said, "Your majesty, I know that our Midra Kingdom has disappointed you, but I hope that you will not give up on our Midra Kingdom. I promise that I will do all that I can to redeem the Midra Kingdom in your eyes."
I was even more confused when I heard this since I couldn't recall ever saying that I would give up on the Midra Kingdom.
Taking care of the Midra Kingdom was an important thing for us, so we would take it one way or another.
But it seemed like the second prince had the wrong idea, so I said, "Who said that I would give up on the Midra Kingdom?"
The second prince was surprised to hear this before looking at me with one brow raised and asking, "Is that true, your majesty?"
I just said with a nod, "I'm looking forward to making the Midra Kingdom a part of our Kite Kingdom."
The second prince let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.
This was definitely a strange reaction from a member of a royal family that was just told that his kingdom would be taken over by another kingdom.
However, that was the reaction that the second prince had.
After that sigh of relief and patting his chest for a bit, the second prince said, "Your majesty, I am glad that I have run around the country all this time preparing for everything. Hearing you say this, I'm certain that my decision was correct."
We all had surprised looks when we heard this, but the second prince's next words explained everything.
"Your majesty, it's time for you to act." The second prince said with a serious look on his face.
I also revealed a serious look when I heard this before asking, "What do you mean? What is your plan?"
Until now, the second prince had never revealed a single part of his plan and even now, he wasn't telling us anything.
If he didn't tell us anything, how were we supposed to work with him?
But the second prince...still didn't tell us anything.
"Your majesty, please just wait for my good news. Everything has been prepared, we just need your majesty to take over when the dust settles." The second prince said in a serious voice.
I deeply knitted my brows when I heard this and there was a part of me that wanted to just say that I was leaving, but I stopped myself in the end as I remembered the main reason that we were here.
We were here to take care of the Midra Kingdom in one way or another.
So even if the second prince's plan failed or he planned on betraying us, that didn't matter.
We had already accomplished what we needed to do.
As long as we stayed near our wyverns, there was no way that they would be able to stop us from leaving. At the same time, I already had Joan give orders to the ten wyverns that we had given to the Midra Kingdom to follow us if anything happened.
So we had already covered all of our bases.
I just wanted to see what the second prince had in store, so...
"Alright, when will it happen?" I said with a sigh.
The second prince was surprised to hear this.
It was obvious by the look on his face that he was expecting much more of a resistance from
us.
After gathering himself, the second prince said, "Tomorrow, it will all happen tomorrow. I hope that you will be ready to enter the throne room when the time comes."
I narrowed my eyes to look at the second prince before giving a nod in response.
