Chapter 901: Secret letter
Chapter 901: Secret letter
When I opened it, I found that there was a letter inside.
As for who this letter came from…
It was the second prince of the Midra Kingdom.
The moment that I read that it was from the second prince of the Midra Kingdom, I looked up at the prime minister with narrowed eyes.
However, he just gestured for me to keep reading the letter.
The letter itself didn’t seem that strange since it was nothing more than a simple request from the second prince for us to aid the Midra Kingdom in this crisis. It didn’t seem like anything more than a simple request from the second prince.
It was just that I knew that the prime minister wouldn’t show this to me if it was a simple request like this.
There had to be another reason why the prime minister was showing me this letter in the first place.
So I put the letter down and said with a sigh, “Stop being mysterious and tell me already.” The prime minister pointed at the letter with a smile and said, “Read the first letter of every line and you’ll see the message.”
I raised a brow hearing this, but I looked back down at the letter.
It was strange that this was such a long letter since it was just a letter asking for help, but I realized that there was a reason why the letter was so long. It wasn’t just because the second prince was writing with courtesy as expected of nobles.
There was a hidden message that was a part of the letter.
“Now is the time for action, please come.”
That was the message that was hidden in the letter.
If one didn’t know what he was talking about, then they wouldn’t know what was the point of this hidden message.
However, both the prime minister and I knew what he was referring to since there was the deal that I had made with the second prince.
When the time was right, we would take the Midra Kingdom for ourselves with the second prince as our conspirator. However, it didn’t seem like the time was right yet.
It hadn’t been long since we had made that deal with the second prince, so it didn’t seem like it was enough time for him to prepare what we needed him to prepare.
This felt more like a trap than an opportunity.
Once I saw the hidden message, I took a deep breath before looking back up at the prime minister with narrowed eyes to say, “Do you really trust this? Don’t you think that this is suspicious?”
The prime minister just calmly said, “There’s nothing to lose from this in the first place. Even if he fails, then there’s nothing that can tie this back to us and there will be no losses on our side. So regardless of what happens, there’s no need for us to worry.”
I was surprised to hear this, but not as surprised as I was by his next words.
“I’ll need you to take a trip down to the Midra Kingdom to handle this matter.” The prime minister said this as if it was a natural thing.
I looked at him with my eyes wide open since I never expected him to say something like this.
There was even a part of me that wondered if this wasn’t the real prime minister since he had never said anything like this before.
The prime minister didn’t mind as he continued by saying, “I’ve already taken care of all the arrangements. You’ll be heading out in three days with the rest of the wyvern riders and you’ll be taking Joan with you.”
I just kept staring at him with my eyes wide open since I was completely shocked by these words.
No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like something that the real prime minister would say.
There was now a part of me that was wondering if he had betrayed me.
There was a part of me that was wondering if he wanted me out of the way so he could take over the country.
But that part of me didn’t remain for long since the prime minister said, “We need to take care of this before the matter with the Tide Empire. I hope that you will be able to take care of this quickly and settle it before anything else happens.”
The way that he said this was as if he had some kind of plan.
Thinking about it, I realized what he was trying to do.
The real goal that he wanted to accomplish was to take back the wyverns that we had given to the Midra Kingdom.
That was a gamble that we had taken by giving them to the Midra Kingdom in the first place.
Even ten wyverns were considered an important resource, so it wasn’t as if we could leave them outside our country. Mainly because there was no telling what the other kingdoms would do to these wyverns.
There was no doubt that they would target the wyverns while we were occupied with the Tide
Empire.
So this was all to tie up loose ends before having to deal with the real enemy.
Though only someone like the prime minister could consider dealing with the Midra Kingdom as tying up loose ends.
Well, regardless of what happened, he was sending me and Joan to collect the wyverns. Whether they came back to us in the form of wyvern riders as part of the new Kite Kingdom after taking over the Midra Kingdom, or whether they came back to us as just simple wyverns after the Midra Kingdom was abandoned.
That was the only reason why he was sending me.
It was because Joan only listened to me, so there was no choice but to send me and Joan along if we wanted to bring the wyverns back.
I shook my head and said with a sigh, “Will you not regret this choice?”
The prime minister also said with a sigh, “I am a simple man, I cannot protect everyone. I can only do what I can to protect what is important to me.”
A simple nod came from me in response to this as I could sympathize with him.
