Dragon King's Harem Chapter 204. Cold Interrogation V
“Tell the servant to bring us so tea to the eting room,” I said to a guard as I walked down the corridor. Since I carried her with both my hands, of course, it attracted everyone's attention. But as usual, I didn't care about that. While Evelina could only hide her face in my chest and hugged my neck tightly in embarrassnt.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied the guard before he bowed and did my bidding.
Once we arrived in the eting room and the door behind us closed, I pulled a chair for her with my Telekinesis before I put her down and opened my voice.
“Just tell if you want to go back to your room,” I reminded her. Actually, even though she seed calr, I wanted to ask her to return to the room right now. But I needed all the information about the Orc.
“Um,” Evelina answered with an obedient mumble. Even though my simple intimacy gesture had soothed her, still, her sadness was evident on her face.
I had just pulled up a chair and sat beside her when Evelina turned to and spoke again.
“Your Majesty, may I ask you sothing?” she asked.
"Go ahead."
“If the dragons win, can you spare General Kul's families?” she asked. From the tone of her voice, I could tell it was a plea.
"Did you see anything about that?" I guessed maybe the mory of Kul's family entered her mind. I bet that's what tortured her. Because--- no matter how cruel an enemy may be, they all had beloved friends and family.
She nodded with a gloomy face.
“He has a little sister who loves him very much and a sickly mother. His father died long ago so they have no one but Kul. Also… The reason why Kul joined the war wasn't just because of the king's order. He also disagreed with this war at first, but Uraugh promised to give him Princess Glasha if they won. So, he fought for his love,” she told everything.
“I see… That's why he bragged around about how Uraugh loves you,” I said. Even though it sounded like a touching pure love story, Uraugh should have known no ant no. It wasn't even only Evelina who rejected him, but also her father. A double no, yet Uraugh didn't care.
Unfortunately, at Igixar, so saw this as sothing to be proud of. A persistence that showed their seriousness.
"Yes. Even though he knows what Uraugh did was wrong, Kul understood Uraugh's feelings," she clarified.
"That's ironic. Still, I can't promise, but I'll try.”
"Why?" she asked with a frown.
“If Kul's families try to kill us to get revenge, I will still kill them. I can't let the ones who oppose live,” I explained in a firm tone. While I was sure they didn't have the strength for that, eliminating my potential future enemies from the start was a better option than letting them grow and get stronger first.
“But, what if they only made a small mistake? Sothing that couldn't possibly kill you and ?” She tried to bargain to let them go.
"I'll think about it again," I decided to give her an uncertain answer since failure ant they might repeat the sa act one day. And it was dangerous.
She tried to bargain again, but I interrupted her.
"Evelina, stop it. As I said, they are enemies. If they were the ones who caught us, they would do the sa or maybe worse. After all, they could be enemies in a blanket one day,” I reminded her with a harsher voice. Although I didn't want to say it, I had no other choice.
It made her press her lips. Her discontent was evident on her face. She seed to disagree with what I said since Kul's family looked harmless. The problem was, even if they didn't look harmless, they could use their connections to help them get their revenge on .
I exhaled a long breath.
"I know you don't like it, but I have no other choice. I have no interest in sparring anyone who tries to harm or my family.” I reminded her once again. “I simply did the sa as him.”
She wanted to argue again but she couldn't. There was no gap in my words.
"I just hope you can fulfill his last wish," she gave up.
"Then let's hope his family doesn't do anything stupid. Or they will end up like Kul,” I stated in a firm tone.
The sound of the door opening interrupted our conversation. A servant who brought a teapot and several cups of tea entered the room. Followed by General Guillotine and Eir.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness," they greeted.
After I replied to them with a nod, the two of them sat down in their seats. While the servant simply put the tea in front of us and stood by my side.
“Do you need anything else, Your Majesty?”
“Leave us,” I commanded, waving my hand to the side.
After bowing, the servant left.
Once the door closed, General Guillotine let out his voice.
“Has Kul said anything about the Orcs? I saw the soldiers take his body out of the fortress," he said straight to the point.
"Yes. Evelina has got what we need. So I want to discuss it with you," I replied.
While rather than , Eir paid attention to Evelina.
“Are you all right, Your Highness? You look pale." His eyes fell on Evelina who was taking a sip of the warm tea.
"I'm fine, sir Eiron. Thank you," replied Evelina after she put her cup down.
I held her hand which was on the table gently. And she turned to in response.
“You can tell us when you're ready,” I said, giving her a little ti to compose herself.
She closed her eyes and took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself before she opened her voice again.
"I'm ready." Her gaze was filled with determination. She turned to Eir and General Guillotine.
"I'll tell you everything I know."
