Chapter 869: Time to pay the price
There was a part of me that dreaded our return since I knew that it would be the end for me.
After all, there was no way that I would be able to hide what I had done to the dark elves from my wives.
There were too many witnesses in the first place and they would surely report what had happened since this was a matter of national security. Once the prime minister knew about this, there was no doubt that my wives would learn about this since he could never hide anything from his sister.
Though even without that, they would be able to get this information since they all had high ranking positions.
No, even without that, they would have been able to get the information since one of my wives had been there to watch all of it happen.
There was no way that Cecilia would hide this from the rest of them, no matter what I said to her.
Especially Rose…she would never hide anything from Rose.
The relationship between the two of them was still as deep as ever, even after the three of us got married.
It wasn’t something that I could come in between and it wasn’t something that I wanted to come in between.
So the only thing that I could do was feel dread over this.
It was just a good thing that I had a few extra days to prepare since we had to travel slowly with the dark elves.
It didn’t seem like they would resist with how submissive they were around me, but we had to be careful just in case. They were enemies of the nation, so it wasn’t as if we could just let our guards down around them.
With that reprieve, I was able to figure out a plan to deal with my wives.
The other lucky thing that happened was that I was pulled into my study by the prime minister as soon as I came back to the capital.
That gave me a bit more time to think of excuses and also ask the prime minister for some help.
Since he was Angela’s brother, I was certain that he would have ways of dealing with her. Once the prime minister finished listening to my report, he gave a nod of acknowledgement and was silent for a bit.
It didn’t seem like he was surprised to hear about what happened, but that wasn’t strange since he had already read the reports on the matter.
Instead, he was looking at me with a strange look.
The way that he looked at me was almost as if he couldn’t believe that I had done the things that I had just described to him.
That made me feel a bit awkward, but I didn’t show any shame.
After all, I had done what I felt I needed to do for our country, so there was nothing for me to feel ashamed of.
After staring at me for a bit, he said with a sigh, “Well, it’s a good thing that things have settled down, but this certainly is a mess.”
There was a bitter smile that crept onto my face when I heard this, but I didn’t say anything in response.
The prime minister just gave another sigh before saying, “Let me see the crystal.”
I had already been expecting him to say this, so I pulled out one of the crystals that I brought back for him.
The prime minister immediately took the crystal and started looking at it from different angles.
The way that he looked at it was as if he was trying to figure out something about this crystal, but the look on his face made it clear that he wasn’t able to figure anything out. The longer that he looked at this crystal, the more frustrated the look on his face became until…
“Thud!”
The prime minister had completely lost his temper and threw it to the ground with all his might. But the only thing that happened was that it created a hole in the ground of the study… my study.
This was my study and he had just created a hole in it…
As for the crystal itself, there wasn’t even a single scratch on it.
It was still as hard and indestructible as before.
There wasn’t anything that we had been able to do to this crystal even when we used a bunch of weapons, so there was no way that the prime minister would be able to damage this thing just by throwing it to the ground like this.
Even if he was the strongest man in the world, he wouldn’t have been able to do anything to this crystal just by throwing it on the ground like this.
It was clear that it wasn’t just because the crystal was hard that it was so strong.
There had to be some kind of special enchantment on this crystal that made it this hard.
The prime minister was annoyed seeing the hole that the crystal made, but he stopped when I gave a cough.
With a cough himself to calm down, the prime minister picked up the crystal and said, “It certainly is a special item.”
I didn’t say anything in response, I just raised a brow and looked at the hole in the ground.
He gave another cough before saying, “I’ll get someone to fix the floor.”
I gave a nod in response before asking, “So what I was asking you about earlier.”
I had asked him for advice earlier, but he had insisted on listening to the report first.
Now that I had finished giving my report, I wanted him to answer my question before I went to see my wives.
“I have no idea.” The prime minister said with a shrug which shocked me.
I looked at him in a daze as if I was trying to figure out if he was being serious or not.
The prime minister just gave another shrug and said, “If I knew how to handle her, do you think I would have suffered for that long?”
It was over…
I could hear a knock on the door.
It seemed that it was time to pay the price for my actions…
