Six hours, that was all it took for the forr second prince to quell the unrest in the forr Midra Kingdom.
When it was over, he even had co to the balcony of the castle to announce that our kingdom was taking over the Midra Kingdom.
There were many people that ca to the ceremony that seed unwilling to accept this, but it didn't seem like they said a thing.
I could see that it was all because it was the forr second prince making this announcent that they chose to accept this. Though at the sa ti, it seed like many of them wanted the second prince to take over as the new king instead.
Their faces did look better when I announced that the forr second prince would be the regent for the area, but it didn't seem much better.
Once that was over, the forr second prince had his n take care of the rest before leading to the royal study.
The two of us sat down while the guards just stood on the side.
The forr second prince looked at and we both agreed to let the guards leave, though Cecilia did stay behind.
The forr second prince raised a brow to question it before it seed like he had rembered sothing. He looked at Cecilia for a few seconds before giving a nod as if agreeing to her being here.
The three of us just sat there in silence for a bit before the forr second prince started making so tea for all three of us.
It was at that mont that I said, "Forr second prince, no, Regent Andrew, do you want to tell what your goal is now?"
The forr second prince, the one who was now known as Regent Andrew stopped when he heard this. However, he didn't remain still for long as he continued making the tea.
Only when he finished pouring the cups for all three of us did he sit back down.
Even after sitting back down, he didn't answer my question as he just casually took a sip of his
tea.
It was only after he put his cup down that he said, "I wish to serve you with unwavering loyalty, that is why I've put on this show."
The way that he said this was as if he had no hesitation at all.
It was as if he found that there wasn't a single thing wrong with what he said, even though his words seed like they were wrong in the first place.
After saying this, Andrew looked right in the eyes as if he was waiting for my answer.
My expression didn't change as I looked at him, but then I suddenly gave a laugh before saying, "Is that really all that there is to it?"
With a faint smile, Andrew said, "That is all there is to it."
He looked at with a serious look before saying, "I can see that you are soone special. With the way that you ended the war, the way that you built a relationship with both the dwarves and the elves, the way that you tad all of these wyverns, I can tell that you possess knowledge that no one else does."
I couldn't help feeling surprised, but I kept my face calm on the surface.
Andrew didn't seem to mind as he said, "I know that for soone like this, it's better to join them or take care of them as soon as possible." A faint smile appeared on his lips again as he said, "I've chosen to join you."
The way that he said this made his thoughts very clear, but there was sothing else that confused .
Slightly knitting my brows, I asked, "Why?"
It seed like a redundant question, but it was one that I had to ask.
This ti, Andrew didn't answer right away.
After a slight pause, he said, "All I want is the prosperity of my people. I know that my father and his cronies would never be able to do that, so I chose to side with your majesty."
Then in a colder voice he said, "Of course, if your majesty strays down the wrong path..."
He didn't finish his words and there was no need for him to finish these words.
Hearing him say this and seeing the way that he looked, I couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
That was because he reminded of the forr fourth prince.
The ga did set them as rivals, but it seed that they were more similar than one thought.
Both of them just wanted what was best for their people, it turned out.
Well, this forr second prince was a bit more extre than the forr fourth prince as he personally executed his own father and the nobles that once served him.
But I could tell that this was sothing that he did to show his determination.
Since that was the case...
"Well, I don't know anything about your unwavering loyalty, but I do understand your conviction. All I can say is that I won't trust your so called unwavering loyalty, but I do trust your conviction to your people."
Then in a colder voice, I said, "But if you ever cause harm to the people that I care about..."
I didn't finish my words just like Andrew had done earlier, but there was no need for to finish these words in the first place.
Andrew revealed a smile when he heard this before bowing his head to say, "It is an honour to serve your majesty."
I gave a nod before saying, "Before you put any of your plans in action, at least give a rough outline. That is the only thing that I request from you."
Andrew gave a slow nod in response with a faint smile on his lips.
He might be more extre than the forr fourth prince, but the forr fourth prince had llowed out.
So there was no reason why he shouldn't be able to.
