Chapter 595 Reporting (2)

After pouring this tea, he just casually sipped it without a care in the world.

During all of this, all of us just sat and stood there with awkward looks on our faces.

The saying really was true, the subordinates really worried while the superiors relaxed.

After he finished sipping his tea, the fourth prince put the cup down and casually said, "The first was to deliver the goods that my dear sister sent to you, her fiance."

Once again, there were shocked and strange looks that were aimed in our direction. Or rather, it was to say that they were all pointed at me.

It was clear that not a single one of the others in this room knew this fact.

But of course, it would be strange if they knew this.

This was something that was a secret even among nobles. Only the top of the top knew about this matter and it wasn't something that was easily spread.

Though in the case of the nobles, it was more that they wanted to keep this information to themselves so they could get the jump on the others. They wanted to build relationships with the soon to be husband of the princess before anyone else could.

But the war got in the way of that.

On the other hand, I looked at the fourth prince with a strange look on my face, as if I was saying, "Should you have said that?"

The fourth prince just looked at me with a smile that made me want to punch him in the face. It was the smile of someone who didn't seem to care that they had made a mistake.

It was the smile of someone who would just say, "Don't mind."

It was the annoying kind of smile that really made one want to get angry.

Still, I could guess that the fourth prince had a reason for saying this out loud.

If I had to guess...it was most likely to make sure that the general and the officers knew so they would treat me properly.

But this kind of help was unnecessary since I had already solved that problem.

As I expected, a minute later, the fourth prince said, "Of course, that's supposed to be a secret right now." He turned to look at General Killock and the officers to say, "I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that loose lips sink ships, right?"

General Killock and the officers all trembled when they heard this before quickly nodding in agreement.

They might not be as scared if it was someone else, but the fourth prince…

Well, there was a reason why he was so infamous in this kingdom in the first place.

Those that knew the power that he had wouldn't dare cross him.

After the fourth prince finished talking to General Killock and the officers, he turned back to me to say, "Then there's the other matter that I came here for."

The way that he spoke, it was as if he was keeping people in suspense on purpose.

However, there was a reason for this.

I quickly found out what that reason was.

The fourth prince had been casually leaning in the chair that he was sitting in until he sat up all of a sudden. After sitting up, he looked at me with a serious look and said, "When I read the report, I didn't believe it at first. However, after seeing it with my own eyes, I really had no choice but to believe it."

I didn't need him to say what it was he was referring to, I could already guess what he was talking about.

The slaughter on the Rising Land Plains, that was the only thing that he could be referring to.

But I still couldn't see through him at all.

I didn't know whether he was impressed or if he was angry, so I waited to see what the fourth prince's reaction was.

The fourth prince continued by saying, "You have really performed a great merit for our kingdom by slaughtering the army of the Midra Kingdom and you even managed to capture their general and vice general. This kind of merit is completely unheard of in our kingdom since there has never been anyone who has done the same thing. Though, the one mistake that you made was letting the second prince of the Midra Kingdom escape."

A faint smile appeared on my lips when I heard this as I slowly figured out what the fourth prince was here for.

But still, I didn't say anything as I waited for the fourth prince to make his slow reveal.

In times like this, it was better to let them finish their soliloquy and then slowly give them the answer they wanted. Only then would one be able to avoid any misunderstandings that might arise.

The fourth prince saw the look on my face and his eyes looked like he knew that I had already had an idea in my mind, but since we were in front of everyone like this, he had to continue his soliloquy.

"So the one question that this raises is…how did you know about the existence of the Blood Worms? This was something that even we at the kingdom didn't know about and yet you were able to use them so easily. It really makes one wonder what other kinds of secrets you're hiding." The fourth prince looked at me with a serious look as he said this.

Though he didn't say it out loud, it was also implied, "Will you use these secrets for the kingdom or use them against the kingdom?"

Plain and simple, this was just a test to see what my intentions were.

I wasn't worried at all, rather I just revealed a smile since I already had an answer in my heart.
