Chapter 891: I want everything
Chapter 891: I want everything
After a long silence, Noah looked at the two of us and said, “Sister, brother in law, you should at least speak up for me.”
Angela and I looked at each other before I went forward to pat Noah on the shoulder.
As I patted him on the shoulder, I said, “I’m sorry, there’s nothing that we can do.”
He looked at me with an aggrieved look, but I still said, “You know what kind of person you are. Trust is something that is built up over time, so you have to prove that you’re someone worth trusting. There’s nothing that we can do for you.”
Angela nodded at Noah from behind me.
That just made him let out a sigh, but he eventually nodded in agreement as well.
It seemed like he accepted the situation for what it was and came to the decision that he would do what he could to reverse it.
Since that was the case, there was no need to rub it in for Noah anymore.
Instead, we all entered the carriage that he prepared…or at least we would have if not for the fact that Ariel wouldn’t sit in the same carriage as Noah.
So in the end, he and I went to another carriage that he prepared while the girls all took that first carriage. It seemed like they wanted me to come with them, but I chose to go with Noah in the end.
It wasn’t that I wanted to comfort him, it was that I had something that I wanted to discuss with him in private.
That was why I took the carriage alone with Noah.
As we headed to the castle, I asked him, “So, what’s been happening recently?”
Noah reverted back to the prime minister and told me everything that happened recently. Well…he didn’t tell me everything since there were just too many things in the first place and it would have been impossible for him to tell me everything that happened. So he just gave me a summarized version of what happened during the time that I was away.
It didn’t seem like anything unexpected happened during this time.
The prime minister was skilled in taking care of the country like a king would, so he could run the country all on his own without my help.
It didn’t really matter if I was here or not.
It was just that he didn’t want to take the throne and just wanted to live a life where he supported the throne.
I always thought that it was a waste of his talents, but he was a man who would rather sacrifice himself for the good of the country.
I knew that I couldn’t push him or he might take things too far.
The one thing that I did note was how he pointed out that the increased monster activity was happening in the surrounding countries. I didn’t know if he was planning on helping them or pushing them over the edge, but I knew that he had some plans for the other countries.
It was just that this wasn’t the time to discuss this.
When we arrived at the castle, Ariel excitedly ran out of the carriage and came over to me to say, “This country of yours really is amazing! I want to see everything that it has to offer!”
I was a bit taken aback when I saw her like this, but I could guess from the way that my wives looked at me what had happened.
They most likely talked to her about the different things that they knew about in this country while passing by the sights of the capital. For a human loving mermaid like Ariel, this was just too much excitement for her, which was why she acted this way.
She didn’t even seem to care that Noah, the one that she hated, was beside me.
I shook my head with a faint smile before saying, “Before you get too excited, how about we go in and have a little talk first? There’s something that I want to discuss with you before we talk about what you’ll be doing next.”
Ariel’s eyes were still filled with excitement, but this look faded a bit when she heard what I said.
She narrowed her eyes to look at Noah as if she didn’t trust him before giving a slow nod.
Noah shook his head and gave a sigh, but he didn’t say anything in the end as he led us into the castle.
Instead of heading to my study as per usual, he brought us to one of the dining rooms of the castle.
This was a formal dining room that was used to greet guests.
Of course, we didn’t just come here to talk.
There was also food that was prepared waiting for us.
We had arrived in the middle of the day, so it was actually time for lunch when we arrived. He had anticipated this and had prepared everything…though it was most likely one of the shadows that had sent this news to the prime minister, which was why it was prepared in such a short period of time.
I didn’t know what kind of method they used to communicate with each other, but it seemed like it was much more unlimited than I thought.
Ariel was happy to try all these human dishes, but she glared at the prime minister as if she was wary of him. She was like a child that was wary of an adult who had suddenly offered to
give them candy.
This was certainly a first for the prime minister, which made him feel even more awkward.
In the end, he even had no choice but to sit at the end of the table since Ariel wouldn’t let him anywhere near him.
However, that didn’t seem to put a damper on her appetite.
Once she saw me start to eat, she didn’t hesitate to eat as well.
That was a good sign.
It meant that she at least trusted me enough to believe that there was nothing wrong with the
food if I ate it.
Once the meal was over, I tapped my spoon on my cup to get everyone’s attention before looking at Ariel to say, “Now, let’s have a discussion.”
