Chapter 905: It’s not the time yet

The others also moved to the side and prepared for anything to happen.

The second prince couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this, but then he looked at me who had sat down at the table that was in this room.

The second prince was visibly confused, but that expression only lasted a few seconds before it seemed like he figured out what was happening.

He came forward to sit down with me before asking, "This friend, may I ask who you are?"

I just said with a smile, "It hasn't been that long, have you already forgotten about me?" The second prince seemed a bit confused at first, but then there was a look of recognition and surprise that appeared on his face. He looked at me as if he was trying to confirm something before saying, "Your grace...No, it's your majesty now, isn't it? I never expected you to come personally to our Midra Kingdom."

I gave a simple nod before taking off the mask and saying, "I had some business here, so I came. There's nothing more you need to say."

The second prince was surprised to hear what I said, but he was a smart person. He knew that since I didn't want to talk about it, he shouldn't keep pushing the matter.

Instead, the second prince said, "Your majesty, I'll lay out the plan that I have prepared for your takeover of our Midra Kingdom."

I gave a nod without saying anything since I had already expected this.

What I didn't expect was...

"Simply put, it's not the time for your majesty to act just yet."

"Huh?" There was a surprised look on my face when I heard this since the secret letter had said something completely different. That was the only reason that I came in the first place. There was a part of me that felt a bit suspicious of the second prince once I heard this.

It really felt like he was laying a trap for us with the way that he said this.

The second prince could see the way that I was looking at him, so he said, "Your majesty, it isn't that. It's just that you've arrived much sooner than I expected..." There was a pause with an awkward expression before the second prince said, "There are some things that haven't been prepared yet. I have to ask that you wait a bit longer to put this plan in action. There are still a few more things that have to be taken care of before it happens."

I narrowed my eyes to look at the second prince before saying, "Then the wyverns, what was the point of keeping them in the capital this entire time?"

The second prince was surprised to hear this question and there was another awkward look that appeared on his face, but he eventually said, "It was necessary."

"Was it really?" I narrowed my eyes to ask him this without any hesitation.

But this time, the second prince didn't seem to hesitate either as he said, "It was absolutely necessary. Even if it meant sacrificing some of the people of this country, it was a necessary thing."

I just kept looking him right in the eyes as he said this, but it didn't seem like there was any hesitation in his eyes. Though I could see that there were traces of regret that were also there. He did feel sorry for the people that he was supposed to have sworn to protect, but...

He accepted that his decision had consequences and that they were unavoidable.

That was the way that those at the top had to act if they wanted to save as many people as possible.

Though it wasn't as if I agreed with him keeping the wyverns in the capital just for the sake of fooling those nobles.

"As long as you know the consequences of your actions. I hope that you will be able to make up for them in the future." I said with a sigh.

The second prince had a determined look on his face as he gave a simple nod, but I could see the traces of regret that were still in his eyes.

There was a silence that hung in the air as neither of us said anything while there was a heavy look on our faces.

But eventually, the second prince broke the silence by saying, "Let me tell you the plan."

I looked up at him and that heavy look disappeared. A serious look replaced it as I just gave a simple nod in response while waiting for him to speak.

"The plan is..."

---

When it was all over, I had to admit that I was quite impressed by the second prince.

I had already seen the effects that the second prince's plan had on the country and I could tell that it was indeed effective.

Though there were still parts of the plan that I didn't agree with...

"So for now, what you need us to do is play along and make it seem like everything is fine?" I asked the second prince.

The second prince nodded before revealing a hesitant look.

It was as if he wanted to say something, but he was hesitating on whether to say it or not.

"Just say it. It doesn't matter what you have to say." I didn't hold back at all as I told him this. For now, since he was willing to go this far for this plan, then I would treat him as one of our

own.

But the moment that he betrayed us...

Well, for now, it didn't seem like he would betray us.

"Yes, yes." The second prince said with a bow of the head before slowly saying, "I heard that you were able to stop the monsters in your country..."

I could guess what he wanted to say, so I just simply said, "We'll head out tomorrow. Send someone with us so we can keep in contact and to guide us to the places we need to go."

The second prince's eyes lit up when he heard this before he bowed his head and said, "Your majesty, I thank you on behalf of the citizens of the Midra Kingdom."

I just waved my hand at him before saying, "They will be my citizens soon, so it's only natural that I take care of them."

I was looking at the second prince carefully as I said this.

"Of course, your majesty is magnanimous." There wasn't anything natural about the way that the second prince said this.

It seemed that at the very least, he didn't have any attachment to the entity that was the Midra Kingdom or his status as the second prince. Though he could just be hiding it deep

down...for now, it didn't seem like it would show itself.

For now, it seemed like I should trust him to a certain extent.

But I would never trust this second prince too much since there were just too many things that

were suspicious about him.

I would wait and see what his true colours were.
