Chapter 927: Go do your job
The regent had already prepared the room, while the prime minister had prepared the people. That was the reason why there were so many carriages in the first place.
This was the start of another reporting session where the regent's subordinates gave different reports on the territory of the former Midra Kingdom.
This was something that had happened with me a few days ago, but I had interrupted them when I heard about the Void Ore.
Since then, I had been focused on different things that interested me instead of governing the land like the regent wanted me to. So there hadn't been another reporting session like this since I had gotten the Void Ore.
But it was different for the prime minister.
He was the one that took care of most of my duties in the first place, so it was only a given that
he would be managing the territories of the former Midra Kingdom as well.
For that, he would need to know the situation of these territories and he would need subordinates that he could trust.
That was why he had brought all these people with him.
They would be his hands and legs in these different departments that would help transition them to becoming a part of the unified government.
That didn't mean that the prime minister was sacking anyone, he was just sending people to unite the two departments into one since this would all be the lands of the Kite Kingdom from
now on.
In short, there was nothing for me to do since I wasn't a part of this in the first place.
The only thing that I could do was sit there with a bored look on my face as the regent and the prime minister organized everything.
But after a while, the prime minister turned to look at me and asked, "What are you still doing here?"
I was very confused when I heard this.
I didn't understand what he meant by this and was even more confused with the tone of voice that he had.
The way that he said it was almost as if he expected me to already know what I should be doing.
But I had no idea what the prime minister expected of me.
Seeing that I wasn't moving, he said, "Go and take care of them already."
"Take care of who?" I couldn't help asking in a confused voice.
The more that he pushed me, the more confused that I was.
But it wasn't as if we were in a relationship where I wasn't able to ask anything.
So I just directly asked him what he wanted me to do.
The prime minister looked at me with a surprised look for a bit.
The way that he looked at me was almost as if he was trying to figure out if I was being serious or not. But after looking at me like this for a bit, he realized that I really didn't know what he was talking about.
So the prime minister lowered his voice and waved for me to come closer before saying, "The monsters are still active in this place. Since they are active, naturally we have to do something about it since this will become land of our kingdom soon. You're the only one that can deal with that, right?"
I was surprised to hear this since I hadn't even thought about this after taking over.
We were supposed to take care of this problem, but we had stopped because of what happened with those that had been sent to watch over us. Because of them, we had been pretending that we were tired the entire time and had never taken care of these areas of increased monster activity.
Though I was more surprised that the prime minister was actually agreeing to me going personally.
Before this, he had been a strong opponent of me going personally to handle these matters. He had wanted me to send the royal guards to take care of this on my behalf instead of me going to handle this matter personally. Now he actually agreed to send me out to take care of this matter myself.
It seemed that his opinion on this matter had changed.
Though it still confused me why his opinion on this matter had changed.
After a moment of silently looking at the prime minister, I figured out what it was.
He accepted the fact that there was no one else that was able to do the same thing that I could do. After everything that happened, the prime minister just accepted that I had abilities that no one else could copy or match.
There were things that could only be handled if I took care of them personally.
As such, the prime minister decided to leave these matters to me.
Well, this was the best decision that he could make since only I was able to take care of these things. Even if he wanted to leave this matter to someone else, I definitely wouldn't have
agreed to this.
After all, I had already seen the concentration of demonic energy that these crystals
contained.
Even if he wanted to send someone else, there was no way that they would have been able to
deal with these crystals.
If something went wrong, they would all die.
If things took a turn for the worst, there was a chance that they would be corrupted or the wyverns would be corrupted by the demonic energy.
If a wyvern were to be corrupted by the demon energy, then it would be a disaster.
So that was the last thing that could be allowed to happen.
With a nod, I said, "Alright, then I'll be taking Klein and the others."
The prime minister gave a nod before saying, "Take care of everything."
There was some kind of implication in his voice, as if he was worried about something else.
I didn't need to think to guess what he was implying, so I just gave another nod in response.
