Chapter 871: Broken dark elves
Chapter 871: Broken dark elves
I was completely exhausted when the next morning came.
There were dark circles around my eyes, but I didn’t regret a single thing.
When the prime minister saw me, he looked at me with a faint smile.
The moment that I saw him looking at me with this smile, I couldn’t help feeling annoyed since he hadn’t been any help yesterday. He had actually caused me even more anxiety since he had told me nothing that I could use with Angela.
So there was a small grudge that filled me when I saw him like this.
I really wanted to punch that smile off his face, but I held myself back in the end.
“What are we doing today?” I just ignored the way that he looked at me and directly went into business.
The prime minister was someone that could adapt, so the moment that I started talking about business, that smile disappeared from his face. He immediately revealed a serious look as well before speaking.
“The dark elves. We still have to take care of them.”
I gave a simple nod when I heard this without showing any expressions.
I had already expected this, but to actually deal with them…
Now that I had come back and reflected on what I had done to the dark elves, there was a part of me that regretted doing it.
Though that part of me wasn’t as big as the part of me that agreed to doing this for the sake of the kingdom.
Still, I feel that I could have treated them a bit differently…
Perhaps things would have gone more smoothly if I treated them a bit differently?
Regardless, that wasn’t what was important right now.
After the dark elves had been brought to the capital, they had been locked up in the most secure prisons.
The prisoners that had been in those prisons before were some of the worst people to come out of our kingdom, but we still moved them because of the dark elves.
It wasn’t that we were afraid of the dark elves doing anything to them or them doing anything to the dark elves, it was just that we couldn’t risk anything happening to the dark elves.
They were our important source of information, which was why they had been put in the most secure prison in the first place.
It was all to keep them from escaping.
Of course, the most secure prison naturally wouldn’t be in the castle.
It wasn’t as if we could keep prisoners near us since that was just too dangerous.
So the prime minister and I left the castle under the guard of the shadows.
When the shadows appeared, they looked at me completely differently from before.
Before, there was a bit of carelessness in the way that they greeted me since they didn’t respect me as much as the prime minister. But now, there was no carelessness in the way that they greeted me.
They greeted me the same way as the prime minister, showing that I was on the same level as the prime minister in their hearts.
The prime minister looked at me with a surprised look when he saw this.
After all, he had no idea what I had done in this period of time that would make the shadows respect me in this manner.
With the shadows protecting us, we were able to make our way to the prison without any problems.
At the prison, the guards naturally didn’t dare stop us.
We weren’t here with our identities hidden, we had come openly since this was an important matter to the kingdom.
As such, the guards naturally didn’t dare stop us.
We were able to make our way into the part of the prison where the dark elves were being held.
However, when we arrived, we couldn’t help feeling that it was strange.
“It’s too quiet…” I said when we arrived at this block.
The prime minister gave a nod before saying, “I was thinking the same thing…”
The two of us looked at each other before looking at the guards that had come with us.
The prime minister revealed a serious look and asked, “What is going on here? Are you trying to play a trick on us?”
The eyes of the guards were immediately filled with fear when they heard this.
After all, the one that was asking them this wasn’t their superior, but rather the superior of their superior of their superior. In short, the prime minister was someone who was far above them in terms of the organization, so it was easy for him to get them fired.
Not only that, if they really offended the prime minister…they might even be executed for treason.
Which was why they didn’t dare offend him at all.
The guards quickly bowed their heads and said, “No, no, we wouldn’t dare.”
Both the prime minister and I raised a brow when we saw the reaction of the guards before he asked, “Then where are they? Why is it so quiet here?”
The guards had strange looks on their faces before the leader of the guards pointed at one of the cages in the distance to say, “They are in there.”
The prime minister and I looked at the cage that was in the distance and we were able to make out some figures inside of it. However, it didn’t seem like they were moving at all…
It almost seemed like there was no life in them.
Both of us immediately knitted our brows when we saw this before the prime minister said, “We told you to keep them alive!”
The guards were terrified once again before saying, “They’re alive, they’re alive! We made sure that they were alive…It’s just that…Well, you have to see them to understand.”
Both the prime minister and I looked confused when we heard this, but since the guards wouldn’t explain what they meant by this, we had no choice but to take a look for ourselves.
When we came over, we were surprised by what we saw.
The dark elves were just laying there in the cage with blank eyes, as if they weren’t interested
in doing anything.
It seemed like they had been completely broken…
