Chapter 875: I’ll deal with it
The prime minister had been thinking about how to deal with this when he saw the look that was on my face.
The moment that the prime minister saw this look, he immediately knitted his brows even
more.
After all, the prime minister had been with this brother in law of his long enough that he was able to read him. He had gotten used to the strange things that this brother in law of his did and could guess what he was planning to do.
So before he could say anything…
“No.”
The shadow was confused when he heard this, but I just looked at the prime minister with a surprised look.
The way that I looked at him was almost as if I was saying…
“How did you know?”
The prime minister said with a sigh, “You just went to deal with the dark elves and the monsters, we can’t just let you leave the capital as you will. You have to realize that you are a king now, this isn’t the kind of thing that you should be doing personally. You have people to send to take care of this.”
There was a bitter smile that crept onto my lips while the shadow looked at me in shock.
The shadow naturally understood what the prime minister meant by this, so he quickly put away the report and looked like he wanted to leave the room.
Before he could, I said, “Stay.”
At this, the shadow had no choice but to awkwardly stand there.
Though he was standing there with a look on his face as if he wanted to blend into the background.
He stood there like he didn’t want anyone to notice him.
The prime minister and I just looked at each other without saying a thing after I made the shadow stay.
The look on his face made it clear that he didn’t support this idea of mine, but there was no way that I was going to back down on this matter. This was the event that I had been waiting for since this was an important thing for our kingdom.
Especially after what happened at the trial that we held.
It was related to a certain person who had given all of us a shock.
After a long silence, I said, “Just leave this matter to me, I’ll deal with it.”
The prime minister immediately shook his head before saying, “No.”
I responded with, “I’m the only one that can deal with this since I’m the only one that knows the true identity of this thing.”
The prime minister just calmly shot back, “Then you can tell us and we’ll handle it on your behalf. You’re the king, it’s your job to give orders, not to go to the field personally. There are plenty of subordinates that can go on your behalf.”
The shadow nodded in agreement at this, even if we were both ignoring him.
I just shook my head as I said, “No, you won’t be able to since you have no idea how to handle them.”
The prime minister just calmly replied, “If you tell us how to do it, then wouldn’t we be able to take care of this matter?”
I just calmly shook my head in response.
The prime minister narrowed his eyes to look at me before asking one simple word, “Why?”
I didn’t answer right away this time.
There was a moment of hesitation from me before I finally said, “It’s something that’s completely out of the depths of a normal person, so it won’t matter even if I tell them about this. They won’t be able to do the same thing as me.”
The prime minister narrowed his eyes even more when he heard this.
He looked at me as if he was sizing me up after hearing this.
Instead of rejecting me, the prime minister suddenly said, “You should know what kind of position being the king is. The king is someone that the kingdom cannot do without, the king is the heart of the kingdom. A king is not someone who…”
He went on to give a rant about how the king is someone that shouldn’t put his life at risk at the drop of a hat, as well as how important a king was to the kingdom.
From my understanding of the prime minister, I knew that it would be impossible to stop him once he started ranting like this, so I just calmly waited for him to finish.
When he was done, he looked at me and said, “Do you understand what a king is now?”
I just looked at him with a calm look on my face and said, “This is something that I have to do to protect the people that I love.”
The prime minister was surprised to hear this since he didn’t expect me to say something like this.
When he was caught off guard, I went for the jugular by saying, “This is something that is related to the Tide Empire, so there’s no other way. It has to be something that is done by
me.”
The prime minister deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.
He looked at me with an uncertain look for a bit before saying, “Are you sure that you have a solution for the Tide Empire?”
Seeing that he was finally breaking, I said with a firm look on my face, “I guarantee that this will help us with our Tide Empire situation.”
The prime minister might not believe this if it was anyone else, but this brother in law of his had shown him many miracles that he had no choice but to believe him.
After all, he was the one that had brought the wyverns to their kingdom and had saved them in the war…
In the end, the prime minister said with a sigh, “Of course, you won’t be allowed to go alone.”
I shook my head and said, “I have to go alone when I meet that monster.”
The prime minister deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.
