I was completely exhausted when the next morning ca.
There were dark circles around my eyes, but I didn't regret a single thing.
When the pri minister saw , he looked at with a faint smile.
The mont that I saw him looking at with this smile, I couldn't help feeling annoyed since he hadn't been any help yesterday. He had actually caused even more anxiety since he had told nothing that I could use with Angela.
So there was a small grudge that filled when I saw him like this.
I really wanted to punch that smile off his face, but I held myself back in the end.
"What are we doing today?" I just ignored the way that he looked at and directly went into business.
The pri minister was soone that could adapt, so the mont that I started talking about business, that smile disappeared from his face. He imdiately revealed a serious look as well before speaking.
"The dark elves. We still have to take care of them."
I gave a simple nod when I heard this without showing any expressions.
I had already expected this, but to actually deal with them...
Now that I had co back and reflected on what I had done to the dark elves, there was a part of that regretted doing it.
Though that part of wasn't as big as the part of that agreed to doing this for the sake of the kingdom.
Still, I feel that I could have treated them a bit differently...
Perhaps things would have gone more smoothly if I treated them a bit differently?
Regardless, that wasn't what was important right now.
After the dark elves had been brought to the capital, they had been locked up in the most secure prisons.
The prisoners that had been in those prisons before were so of the worst people to co out of our kingdom, but we still moved them because of the dark elves.
It wasn't that we were afraid of the dark elves doing anything to them or them doing anything to the dark elves, it was just that we couldn't risk anything happening to the dark elves.
They were our important source of information, which was why they had been put in the most secure prison in the first place.
It was all to keep them from escaping.
Of course, the most secure prison naturally wouldn't be in the castle.
It wasn't as if we could keep prisoners near us since that was just too dangerous.
So the pri minister and I left the castle under the guard of the shadows.
When the shadows appeared, they looked at completely differently from before.
Before, there was a bit of carelessness in the way that they greeted since they didn't respect as much as the pri minister. But now, there was no carelessness in the way that they greeted .
They greeted the sa way as the pri minister, showing that I was on the sa level as the pri minister in their hearts.
The pri minister looked at with a surprised look when he saw this.
After all, he had no idea what I had done in this period of ti that would make the shadows respect in this manner.
With the shadows protecting us, we were able to make our way to the prison without any problems.
At the prison, the guards naturally didn't dare stop us.
We weren't here with our identities hidden, we had co openly since this was an important matter to the kingdom.
As such, the guards naturally didn't dare stop us.
We were able to make our way into the part of the prison where the dark elves were being held.
However, when we arrived, we couldn't help feeling that it was strange.
"It's too quiet..." I said when we arrived at this block.
The pri minister gave a nod before saying, "I was thinking the sa thing..."
The two of us looked at each other before looking at the guards that had co with us.
The pri minister revealed a serious look and asked, "What is going on here? Are you trying to play a trick on us?"
The eyes of the guards were imdiately filled with fear when they heard this.
After all, the one that was asking them this wasn't their superior, but rather the superior of their superior of their superior. In short, the pri minister was soone who was far above them in terms of the organization, so it was easy for him to get them fired.
Not only that, if they really offended the pri minister...they might even be executed for treason.
Which was why they didn't dare offend him at all.
The guards quickly bowed their heads and said, "No, no, we wouldn't dare."
Both the pri minister and I raised a brow when we saw the reaction of the guards before he asked, "Then where are they? Why is it so quiet here?"
The guards had strange looks on their faces before the leader of the guards pointed at one of the cages in the distance to say, "They are in there."
The pri minister and I looked at the cage that was in the distance and we were able to make out so figures inside of it. However, it didn't seem like they were moving at all...
It almost seed like there was no life in them.
Both of us imdiately knitted our brows when we saw this before the pri minister said, "We told you to keep them alive!"
The guards were terrified once again before saying, "They're alive, they're alive! We made sure that they were alive...It's just that...Well, you have to see them to understand."
Both the pri minister and I looked confused when we heard this, but since the guards wouldn't explain what they ant by this, we had no choice but to take a look for ourselves.
When we ca over, we were surprised by what we saw.
The dark elves were just laying there in the cage with blank eyes, as if they weren't interested
in doing anything.
It seed like they had been completely broken...
