When we arrived at the castle, we walked unimpeded directly to the throne room. The servants and guards in the castle now all knew who I was, so even without Adel at my side, I could still pass by them without a problem.
The guard at the door to her throne room quickly opened it and announced our arrival. “Princess Adel, Princess Cyrilia, and Miss Sophie have arrived!”
We walked through the door to see many more knights than usual in the room, as well as many nobles. “Adel. Faith, I heard you were successful in finding your father.”
“Yes, thankfully. But this is not why we have arrived.” I said as I stepped forward and bowed slightly to show my respect. Adel and Sophie did the sa. “I am here to have you moved to my estate for safety.”
“Thank the gods you are here, Princess Cyrilia. Please talk so sense into His Majesty!” A noble cried out. I turned to look at him feeling a bit confused. “What happened?”
“We thought the sa thing. I am sure you are here because you have spoken to the Dean. We can only rely on you to protect the royal family. Only you have the capabilities. But His Majesty is being too stubborn! We asked him to talk to you about it, but he rejected it!” The noble looked very much worried about the king, which gave a good feeling about him.
“You! You traitor! Who rules this kingdom, her or !?” The king yelled out.
“It would be best if it was her, but she doesn’t want it!” The noble retorted while the other nobles all nodded their heads.
“Oi! You’re going to give him ideas!” I quickly shouted out to stop this train of events.
“Tch!” I could have sworn I heard soone click their tongue. I looked up at the King, who was now looking out the window as if the clouds were absolutely amazing, but sadly, there were no damn clouds!
“You old fox! Listen here, stop trying to trap !” I yelled while stomping my feet.
“Haha!” Adel burst out laughing. I ignored her and tried to bring things back on track. “Anyway! I am here to bring you to my estate. It is the safest place now that things have turned out like this. And I am not taking no for an answer. I do not care if I have to use dragon speak or even put you to sleep while I princess carry you out of here. You are going to my house one way or another.”
“Faith, if I do recall, I am the king here.” The king looked at with firm eyes. I rolled mine as I replied: “Then act like one! Plus, I am stronger than you. What can you do to ?”
“Fine, I will go! But spare the princess carry.” The king replied with a furrowed brow. Whether he was happy or not didn’t matter. This was sothing that had to be done.
“This is not only just for you. Every one of you nobles and your families will be settling into my estate in ten days’ ti. I will be creating new places for you all to stay. We can not have those who manage the kingdom either turn traitor or be killed while things are up in the air on what is going on. But be warned, if you have ill intentions and you pass through my barrier, you will die.” The last part I said coldly because I wanted these people to understand that this was a do or die mont. If they refused, they would be deed traitors as well. If they agreed, they would be brought to my estate to be protected. I could only hope that the people still at the king’s side were still good people.
“What happens if we refuse to go to your estate?” One of the noble n asked. This was a normal question, so I did not think of him as soone who was a traitor or not, so I have no issues answering this question. In fact, I was happy he asked such a question because it ant that I could instill more fear into these people.
“You and your family will all be wiped out just like during the trial. No blood relatives above a certain age will be allowed to live, and those too young to have anything to do with anything as long as they are clean will have their mory wiped and will work for one of my companies.” I looked at everyone there, but not a single person averted their eyes from . “I will say this now. Right now, we are in dangerous tis. Civil war could break out at any mont if the Pri Minister decides to make a move. We do not know if he has built up a massive army or not. We do not know what he has planned or who his backer is. Just know that we need to be ready for anything, and anyone not complying with orders at this ti will be deed a traitor.
“I hate doing things this way. It is a tyrant’s path of action, but we have no other path we can take. We must first try to protect our citizens. After I settle things here, I will be putting a barrier up around the capital. With Little Bell’s help, I will be able to pinpoint every town and city in the kingdom and stick a barrier around them as well. I will do my utmost to protect the citizens of this kingdom. But let tell you, I do not have ti to play gas. I still need to take classes at the academy after all.” I still wanted to continue my daily life. If civil war were to break out, I could be sure the citizens of the towns, villages, and cities were all protected. A barrier will be put around each of them. But this will only keep those from the outside from harming anyone. If they leave and try to co back, they will be checked if they have ill intentions towards the kingdom. If they do, they will die. But I have a feeling that we will not be attacked from within the population of the kingdom. But outside it from the neighboring kingdoms.
