"I will be establishing a new departnt that will specialize in preparing for the upcoming war,"
My eyes imdiately widened when I heard what he said. The departnt! I have written about this, but I didn't expect to hear this soon.
The departnt of War and Welfare!
"It will be nad the Departnt of War and Welfare. I will assign people who have abilities and experiences that will greatly help us in the upcoming war. So, even if we receive any surprise attack from our enemies, we will still be prepared."
A noble raised his hand. "Your majesty, may we know who will be in charge of this departnt? Every one of us here has important positions in our own departnt. Wouldn't that hurt the other departnt?"
He doesn't need to worry about it because his majesty will not choose anyone from any noble who are present here.
The only ones present in this eting are nobles who are holding a position in the monarchy. Those people who will be assigned to this departnt are not here. So, they shouldn't worry a thing about it.
His Majesty turns his head at the noble who asks that question. "You can be assured that no departnt will be hard. I will only take a few of your employees, but it won't hurt the departnt as a whole."
I look at the noble and see his disappointed look. He was probably hoping he could be part of that departnt.
Another noble suddenly raise his hand too. "Your majesty, can we know who will be these people in charge of this departnt?"
His majesty shakes his head. "I cannot disclose their nas for now because I still haven't talked to them if they want to accept the position. But don't worry, once I talk to them, I will announce it to everyone."
Departnt of War and Welfare...
I didn't expect I would see this Departnt being established this soon, but I guess this is the right timing for that because a war will soon break out in the Vrawyth Kingdom.
After the eting, Father dropped off at the Foundation, but instead of working, I decided to stroll around the capital because Lilla took the work I should do today. So, I have no choice but to do sothing else.
I don't want to stay in my office because I'll just end up staring blankly at thin air for the whole day, and I don't like that. I don't want to spend my day doing nothing at all.
I decided to just check the market to see if I could buy sothing for myself, but I couldn't find anything that interested . I couldn't eat because I was still full from the lunch I had with Father.
I heave a sigh. I don't have anything to buy, and I still don't want to eat. What will I do then? I was contemplating what to do when a rental carriage stopped in front of . I imdiately step aside because I don't want to block anyone's way. But the carriage remains unmoving at its place. No one also gets off the carriage.
I look at the carriage in front of and frown. What is this carriage doing? As far as I know, it is prohibited to park the carriage in here, so what is it doing here?
I was startled when the coachman slightly opened the window on his side, and a hand appeared out of it. The hand is holding an object, and it looks like it is showing that object to
.
I frowned when I realized it was only a simple marble stone and nothing else. What am I supposed to d...
A sudden thought appeared in my mind, and I imdiately got inside the carriage. I was imdiately welcod by a smiling Allan, Mister Sewell's guard.
"Apologies, Da Csille, if I ca here without notice. Our Master wants to talk to you. Do you have ti for him?"
I frowned when I heard what Allan said. Mister Sewell wants to talk to ? But what does he wants to talk about? Will he ask about the update with the favor he asked to do?
I wasn't able to voice out my opinion when I felt Allan starts to steer the carriage. I imdiately turn my head at him and frown.
Allan just smiled at guiltily. "Apologies, Da Csille. People are already staring at the carriage, and it will be suspicious if we remain there."
I nod my head. I wasn't mad at him at all. I also need to know what does Mister Sewell wants to talk about.
"I have ti today. You can bring to your Master."
Allan smiled gratefully at . "Thank you, Da Csille. Our Master is already waiting for you in the cabin, and I'm sure he will be happy when he sees you."
Of course, he will. After all, I will bring him great news because his plan is finally starting.
Mister Sewell puts his teacup down and smiles at . We are currently on the patio of his cabin house.
"It's been days since we have seen each other, Da Csille. I hope you are doing fine." Doing fine? I was having problems with his favor, yet this guy asked if I was okay? If he only knew what I have been through just to make his favor cos true. Just to make his plan to life.
I take a sip of the tea first before I answer him. "I am doing fine, Mister Sewell. Thank you for asking. I hope you are doing fine too."
He just gives a smile. It's just a normal smile, but I don't understand why I feel a shiver in my spine. It's as if sothing in is warning about that smile.
"I heard his majesty invited you and the nobles for a eting this morning. I also heard he will announce sothing important today. May I know what his majesty announced?"
He didn't even bother to answer my question. Instead, he imdiately asked about the result of the eting this morning.
I almost quirked my lips when I heard what he said. Isn't he impatient? Couldn't he bare to wait for my update anymore?
"His majesty announced his decision about the Aeslaerean's demands."
Mister Sewell raises his eyebrow. "And that decision is? Did he agree or not?"
I look at Mister Sewell and frown. I thought he had spies inside the monarchy? How co he doesn't know his majesty's decision? There is no way he wouldn't know that.
"Aren't you supposed to know that? I thought you know everything that is happening in the monarchy?"
He stares at for a couple of seconds. I'm not sure what his stare ans, but I can feel my hand tremble a little.
"I want to know directly from you what happened in the eting. I know you did your best in convincing his majesty not to agree with the Aeslaerean's demand, and I really appreciate that, Da Csille. But I want to know what the results are. Did you manage to convince his
majesty or not?"
Mister Sewell sounds sincere with his words, but I don't know why I couldn't believe what he is saying.
He wants to know directly from what happened? I doubt that. For soone like him and for an important decision like that? I'm sure he would do anything just to get an update as
soon as possible.
So, I don't understand why he is pretending he doesn't know anything? Is he trying to test ? But why? Haven't I proven myself to him when I decided to swallow my pride just so I could be part of that eting? Isn't that enough reason for him to trust ? So, I don't really understand why does he need to do all of these things.
However, even if I have a lot of questions right now, I don't have the courage to ask Mister Sewell those questions. I know he has a reason why he is doing this, and I'm sure if I confronted him, he wouldn't be honest with . So, I better not waste my effort and ti.
"He decided not to agree with the Aeslaerean's demands."
Mister Sewell smirks. He then takes his teacup and takes a sip on it. He looks happy with the news. A mont after, he put the teacup down and looked at . "Thank you for your efforts, Da Csille. We wouldn't have done this if not for you."
And I wouldn't have done this if this didn't involve everyone's safety.
I just smile at him and turn my head at the Sakura tree that is still in full bloom. It looks so
beautiful.
"I heard what you have been through, and I know it's never easy to deal with that, Prince Fraser. I'm just glad you didn't soften up when he approached you."
How will I? After what he has done to ? Also, it's not about how I feel, but it's more like how my decision will affect everyone living in this world.
I just shook my head at him and decided not to say anything after. Less talking, less mistakes.
I don't want this Mister Sewell to realize that I know what will happen in the future. He
cannot know my secrets.
"Da Csille, is that the only thing his majesty announced this morning?"
I imdiately beca frigid when I heard his questions. He even knows about the departnt. So, how can I believe him that he doesn't know his majesty's decision?
Does he really think that Csille is a dumb person?
I heave a sigh and shake my head. "No, his majesty ntioned a thing about a departnt. He is planning to establish a departnt that will specialize in preparing for the incoming war. It is to prepare the whole Vrawyth Kingdom for war any ti of the day."
I knew I couldn't lie to him, and I also knew I couldn't keep sothing from him, so instead of hiding it, I decided to just tell him everything in full detail.
I am, after all, his ally already, and it is only right for to tell him what I know about this
departnt.
Mister Sewell nods his head. He then put his hand on his chin. He looks like he is thinking about sothing. "Departnt of War and Welfare. What a fitting na for the upcoming war." He then laughs softly.
That laugh almost feels like soone freezes my blood. I could feel my whole body freeze for a mont when I heard his laughter.
I just force myself to look calm. I cannot let Mister Sewell knows the effects of his laugh on because I am sure he will not like that.
I was about to take my teacup to calm my nerves, but my hand stopped midair when I heard
what he said after.
"Da Csille, I know you have a lot of trouble with the favor I asked you the last, but can you
do another favor again?"
I already know the favor he wants to ask. I actually expected that he would ask about it
today. After I had seen Allan in the market earlier, I already expected that he would ask to do this for him. For his plan.
But even if I am already aware, I cannot let him know that. So, I look at him with a frown.
"Favor? Mister Sewell, I am unsure if I can help you this ti. I had many troubles when I accepted your favor the last ti. I'm not sure if I can still do that."
I was startled when he suddenly grabbed my hand that was resting on the armrest. He then
stares at with his pleading eyes. "I know that Da Csille but haven't you agreed to get revenge with Prince Fraser? Only by doing this can you get that revenge. So let ask you do you want this revenge because I wouldn't force you if you don't want to accept my favor. I'm just worried about you since you are the one who wants to get back at his highness." Until now, is he still using that trick? Trying to make it look like that he is only doing this thing for , but in reality, he was only using Csille's weakness for his own good.
I heave a sigh. I don't have much choice now, don't I? "May I know what is this favor you
want to ask, Mister Sewell?"
"I want you to beco a part of that group."
