Chapter 846 A clone?
”Do you really have to go?”
That was the first thing that my wives asked me the moment that I told them about my plan.
They all had worried looks on their faces as they asked this.
It was clear that they didn’t approve of this idea of me going personally, but it wasn’t as if I was going to back down now. This was something that I had to do after all since there was no one who would be able to replace me for this matter.
I gave a firm nod in response without saying anything.
They still had worried looks on their faces, but they didn’t say anything else since they could see the serious looks that were on my face.
So the first thing that they did was turn to look at Cecilia.
Cecilia was no longer part of the guards in my territory and had actually joined the royal guards after I took up the throne.
She was not the head of the royal guards since there was already a loyal commander in place. Instead, she was the commander of a small team in the royal guards.
This was a position that was created for her by the prime minister for her to gain experience for now until it was time for her to be promoted.
Eventually, she would receive a high position in the royal guards, but that was only when she was ready for it. That was because right now…she was weak compared to the other royal guards.
The royal guards were the elite soldiers of the kingdom, so there was no way that they would be weak. They were powerful elites that were chosen from all over the kingdom to protect the royal family.
So these royal guards were the best that the kingdom had to offer.
Even if Cecilia had trained hard, it wasn’t as if she could match with the best that the kingdom had to offer.
She was just a small knight in the countryside before this.
So it would take some time before she would be able to rise through the ranks of the royal guards.
This was something that she also wanted since she didn’t want to be promoted unless she deserved the promotion.
After all, the main mission of the royal guards was to protect the royal family and that meant that their main mission was to protect the king and his family. Since Zwein was the king, she naturally wanted the best people to protect him.
But as everyone looked at her, Cecilia gave a nod to show her understanding.
They wanted her to go with me and she agreed to go.
Well, the prime minister would be sending the most capable people, so it wasn’t as if adding Cecilia and her small group would hurt.
Veronica and Moon also looked like they wanted to go since the two of them could also fight, but they gave up in the end. Veronica wasn’t in the royal guards after all and Moon was an elf.
Still, I had to spend the rest of the night comforting them and calming them down.
Or rather, it was more like there was no time to sleep with the things that we did all night.
When the prime minister saw me the next morning, he revealed a teasing smile as he said, “Busy night?”
I scowled at him without saying anything.
The prime minister knew better than to push my buttons, especially since today was the day that we were heading out. So instead, he led me to my study where I was surprised to find someone there.
I wasn’t surprised by the fact that there was someone in my study, but rather I was surprised by the appearance of that person.
That was because this person’s appearance was familiar…very familiar to me.
It could be said that there was no one that knew this appearance better than me.
That was because this person had the same appearance as me.
Well, there were a few parts of this person that were different from me. However, to those that didn’t know me intimately, this appearance would be enough to fool them.
“Is this a clone?” I asked the prime minister.
The prime minister revealed a faint smile before saying, “It’s your body double.”
I was surprised to hear this since I never thought that there would be such a thing prepared so quickly. It had only been a little more than a month since I took over the throne, so it didn’t seem like it was enough time to train one.
I took a closer look at the body double after he said this.
The body double just said, “I’ll do my best.”
Even his voice was very similar to mine, though I could hear a small difference since it was my voice.
The one problem that I had with this was…I knew that there were a few people that would notice the body double right away. If they weren’t told about this body double, then there was no doubt that they would be very angry.
After all, they already knew that I would be leaving.
I looked at the prime minister, but I didn’t get to say anything again.
It was as if he already knew what I was thinking, so he said, “I know, that’s why I called you here without them. I need you to help me convince them to accept this body double.”
I was surprised to hear this, but looking at the body double, I revealed a bitter smile.
I could guess what the prime minister was worried about.
As for the actual convincing, it didn’t actually take that much time.
Only after convincing them, they immediately started giving notes to the body double.
It seemed like they wouldn’t be satisfied until he acted the way that they wanted him to act.
He even looked at me for help, but I just ignored that look.
