Chapter 912: Still tired
Chapter 912: Still tired
When I arrived at the banquet, there were some people that asked me where I went since I didn’t show up with the others.
These were people from the Midra Kingdom.
They asked it in such a way that made it seem like they were concerned about me, but I knew that they were concerned about one thing.
They were trying to keep me here so that the maids would be able to search my room while I was at this banquet. They wanted to keep me here as long as possible since they had no idea how long it would take the maids to find the thing that they wanted.
It was just too bad for them that the maids would never find the thing that they wanted.
Though it wasn’t as if I would tell them that.
When the banquet was over, there was someone else who questioned me about this.
Only this time, it wasn’t someone from the Midra Kingdom.
It was Klein who noticed that I had been acting strange the entire time.
“There were a few rats that I had to take care of.”
Klein raised a brow when he heard this, but he didn’t keep asking anything else since there were ears on the walls. This was not the place to discuss this just in case it was something important, so he left this for later.
The leaders of our group were planning on sneaking out later to have a private talk about what to do next after all.
When we met in the gardens later that night, Klein was the first to ask, “What did I hear about these rats?”
With a smile, I explained the situation to everyone.
As they heard about what the maids did, all of them couldn’t help knitting their brows.
At the end, I had to admit that I was quite impressed by the skills of the maids that they were able to clean up my room in time. What I had seen was like a tornado had hit my room, it was a bonafide disaster with how messy my room became.
So I was very impressed that they had been able to clear everything by the time that I returned to the room.
After a long silence, Klein said, “So it seems like they want to play games with us.”
The dark look on his face made it clear that he was displeased with the actions of the Midra Kingdom.
It really looked like he wanted to kill someone, but he held himself back in the end.
But even if he held himself back, that didn’t mean that he would simply let this matter go. This was a matter of life and death after all, so it couldn’t just be forgotten that easily. After a moment of silence, Klein said, “Your majesty, what should we do about this?” I shook my head with a sigh before saying, “Didn’t I tell you not to call me that?”
Klein realized his mistake and wanted to correct himself, but I just waved my hand at him and said, “Forget it. I’ve already figured out what we should do in response to this, so I’ll be depending on you to put on a performance.”
Klein looked a bit surprised and a bit confused, but he still gave a nod in response.
I stroked my chin for a bit before saying, “Now I wonder what the second prince will do.”
…
“Sir Klein, isn’t it time to take care of the monsters? You’ve already been resting for several days now.”
The ministers were anxious as they talked to Klein, but he didn’t seem like he cared at all. With the calm look that was on his face, it was as if he wasn’t concerned about this matter at all. With that calm look on his face, it was as if he didn’t even feel anything after hearing this. It was as if he was completely detached from this matter.
That made the ministers look even more anxious since the reports about the monsters had been pouring in from all over the country.
It was clear that there was a big problem in their country and the one that they had hoped to rely on wasn’t doing anything.
After they complained for a while, Klein said, “We’re still tired from the fight a few days ago. You have to know that we not only fought an army of goblins, we had to fight several variant goblins. Just a single variant goblin is enough to destroy a small town and we had to fight all those variants. Don’t you think that’s hard enough?”
There was nothing that they could say in response to this since they recognized that what he said was true.
They had heard everything from the people that they sent to watch over this group, so they knew that all of this was the truth.
As such, it wasn’t as if they could ignore it.
But that was only for normal soldiers.
For these people that had wyverns, it shouldn’t be an issue for them to take down these goblins and variant goblins.
There was a reason why wyverns were considered S Rank Monsters in the first place.
The main thing was that they were the ones that were asking for help and if the ones that they were asking for help from didn’t want to do anything, there was nothing that they could do
about this.
But it was very strange at the same time…
They had been willing to help back then and had even proactively gone into action, so what
had changed from that time?
Why did they suddenly stop helping them like before?
It didn’t seem to make any sense at all…
I was watching all of this happen, but there was something else that was on my mind.
It was the second prince.
The second prince had asked us to help the people by getting rid of the monsters, so he should
know that we stopped.
I was curious what the second prince’s response to this would be.
