Chapter 700 Pitiful
Chapter 700 Pitiful
The prime minister and the others from the Beirut Kingdom had surprised looks on their faces when they heard this since they didn't recognize this person.
They had expected to recognize everyone that came as part of the diplomatic mission, but they didn't recognize this person.
However, that didn't stop them from treating them properly.
They were here as part of the diplomatic envoy from the Beirut Kingdom, so they had no choice but to treat them well even if they didn't know them.
So it didn't take long before the prime minister and the other officials started greeting Count Navar in a friendly manner.
I was still nervous watching all of this, but as time passed, I knew that they weren't doing this because they were trying to figure out who he was. They were doing this because they had no idea who he was, so they were treating him as a normal member of the diplomatic envoy.
Of course, this person that had joined us all of a sudden last night was the fourth prince.
When I had asked him how he would disguise himself, he had suddenly taken out a badge that he put on his chest.
When he did, I saw the fourth prince disappear and he was replaced with the appearance of Count Navar.
This badge that he had used was a magic item, one that I recognized since it was a common item in the game.
It was a normal Disguise Badge which could be found in the mid game which was used for sneaking into places.
A normal game wouldn't need an item like this, but a game like this one...
Well, there were many things that needed the ability to disguise oneself.
There was even the option of disguising oneself as someone else and sneaking into the room of one's lover for that kind of play. That was just how much freedom the game had, which really was one of the main reasons it had become so popular.
Though it was a mid game item, it was something that could be seen through as long as one was strong enough.
It seemed that there was no one that was strong enough in this Beirut Kingdom, which was disappointing.
After we finished greeting each other, we were brought to the castle where the king and the rest of the court were waiting for us.
When we arrived, the first thing that I did was greet the king with a slight bow.
When they saw this, everyone who was in this throne room knitted their brows.
"Your majesty, it is an honour to visit your Beirut Kingdom. I am here on behalf of our Kite Kingdom to extend our courtesy and deepen the relationship between our two kingdoms after our rocky past." I said in a calm voice without a care for the glares that were coming from all around me.
The king of the Beirut Kingdom also looked at me with slightly knitted brows at first, but those quickly relaxed.
He knew that he couldn't say anything even if I treated him without respect since this was a matter of his entire nation's safety. He had no choice but to swallow this injustice even if it hurt his pride.
The king of the Beirut Kingdom took a deep breath before saying with a faint smile, "Duke Zwein, it is our Beirut Kingdom's honour to host you. I have long heard of your fame and have long wished to meet you."
After saying this, he turned to the side and waved his hand for a girl to step forward.
This was a beautiful girl who looked to be in her early teens, who had barely stepped into puberty, so her figure wasn't as full as it could be. But with her long flowing red hair and green eyes, she was without a doubt a beauty in her own right.
She looked very familiar to the king who also had the same red hair and green eyes.
After this girl stepped forward, the king said, "Duke Zwein, since you aren't familiar with our kingdom, I will have my daughter show you around. I hope that you will have a pleasant stay in our…"
Before he could finish, I suddenly raised my hand and said, "Your majesty, unfortunately I won't be able to have a chance to enjoy the company of the princess. My stay here will be short and during this time, there is something that I must do."
The king was surprised to hear this, but he said with a nod, "Please, tell me what you need to do."
I took out a scroll and unfurled it before saying, "I am here on behalf of our kingdom to perform an inspection of the mines and farms of your Beirut Kingdom. I hope that you will not mind this."
After saying this, I turned the scroll that I was holding around so that they could see the seal that was on it.
When they saw the royal seal that was on it, they had no choice but to accept that this was indeed a decree from the king of our Kite Kingdom.
At that, they all revealed ugly expressions.
That was because…there was nothing that they could do to refute this.
All of this stemmed from the fact that they were behind on their war reparation payments.
So the moment that I brought this up, their plots had come to a stop.
Their idea of using a honey pot on me in the form of the princess and the daughters of the other nobles, as well as the other plots that they had for me were all stopped with this one move.
This was a move that the fourth prince had come up with last night.
He had even brought a copy of the royal seal that we could use freely to make more decrees when we wanted.
As expected of the main villain of the noble plotline…
So as I looked at the ugly expressions that were in front of me, I couldn't help feeling that they were pitiful.
They tried to take on the fourth prince and failed miserably.
