When we ca back to the study, there was only the pri minister and left in the room. After walking in, I sat down in the chair and just let my body slump down in the chair.
It was as if all the tension that had been in my body had been released and I felt like there was no energy left.
As I laid there, I couldn't help letting out a deep sigh.
The pri minister stood there on the side looking at with a concerned look when he saw acting this way. But after a mont of silence, he walked over with a sigh and patted on the shoulder.
"You just did what you had to do." He said in a voice of comfort.
I gave a slight nod without saying a single thing in response.
There was a mont of silence that hung in the air before he patted on the shoulder again and said, "Just take the rest of the day off. There's nothing important that you need to do anyway, so just take so ti for yourself."
The way that he said this made it clear that he was worried about my ntality after what had happened in the prison.
After all, it wasn't just a single dark elf that I killed.
There were five couples that had been tortured during that ti and all of them had been in the sa state.
I was the one that had put them in that state, so I was the one that had given them rcy.
This was not sothing that normal people experienced, this wasn't even sothing that extraordinary people experienced.
This was certainly a one in a kind experience that was hard for most people to adjust from, so the pri minister knew that it would be best if he gave so space.
However...I didn't want that.
I had already co to terms with what I did since I knew that this was what had to be done. Rather...if I were to stop now, the mories might actually make it harder for .
In a sense, I needed work to distract until it beca numb enough for to process properly.
So I just shook my head and said, "I'm fine."
The pri minister looked at with a worried look, but I just looked right into his eyes without saying anything.
In the end, the pri minister gave a sigh as he could tell from the look in my eyes what I wanted. At the sa ti, he knew that if he were to force this, it would only backfire on him.
I could see in the pri minister's eyes that his mind was turning.
It wasn't hard to guess that he was most likely trying to figure out a way to make sure that I didn't deal with anything stressful during this ti.
It might seem like he was babying , but I knew that this was just his way of showing that he cared, so I didn't stop him.
But before he could say anything, there was soone that rushed into the study.
The pri minister imdiately knitted his brows when he heard the sound of the door opening since everyone should have known not to bother them when they were alone.
However, he waited to see what the person that ca in had to say.
Last ti, it was about the increased monster activity.
He couldn't help wondering what it was this ti that had this person acting this way. As for , I was just silently waiting to see what it was about.
I just wanted sothing to distract .
It wasn't Shadow One that ca in this ti, but one of the lower numbered shadows that ca in.
As soon as he ca in, he imdiately bowed to the pri minister and said, "My lord, there's been so strange activity by the Kleen River lately."
The pri minister narrowed his eyes when he heard this before saying, "Is that really it?"
The shadow didn't raise his head, but it was clear by the tremble that he gave that he knew that this wasn't good for him.
No, even without any other signs, it was clear by the cold tone of the pri minister's voice that this wasn't good for him.
After all, compared to before, this didn't seem like: was that important.
It seed almost trivial since this was sothing that could be reported through the normal reports. There was no reason to barge in on a private eting between the pri minister and the king like this.
It really seed like the pri minister was set on punishing this shadow, but I said, "Wait, what is this about the Kleen River?"
Both the pri minister and the shadow looked at with surprised looks.
I didn't care since this was sothing that I recognized.
The mont that I heard of the words Kleen River, I imdiately thought of an event from the ga.
As for why I imdiately thought about it, it was because I had already been thinking about how to activate this event.
This was supposed to be an event that happened much later, which was why I was agonizing on how to activate it.
But now it seed like it had already activated on its own.
This was one of the tis where the plot of the ga being moved up seed to work in my favour.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, I said, "Tell already."
The shadow snapped back out of his daze when he heard this and he said with a bow, "Your majesty, it's a report that there's this strange monster that has appeared on the banks of the Kleen River. It seems to be a monster that's able to control the water according to the local
residents."
The pri minister knitted his brows when he heard this.
It seed that this might be connected to the increased monster activity, which was why the shadow had barged in like this.
But I had a wide smile on my face when I heard this.
It was indeed the event that I had been waiting for.
