The next morning, we went back to meet the king of the Midra Kingdom once more. We were brought to the castle and brought to the throne room once more where the ministers and the king were all waiting for us. It seemed that they had already gathered beforehand and I could guess what they had been discussing. What else could they have been discussing? There was no doubt that they had been discussing us while we weren't there. I'm sure that they were most likely talking about what we wanted from…

The next destination that we headed to was…a quarry. This wasn't just any quarry, it turned out to be a quarry that was filled with a special material. Limestone. This was a limestone quarry. As soon as I saw this, there were things that were suddenly made clear to me. When we were in the village, there was something else that I had noted. The buildings that were in the village weren't just the normal stone and wood buildings that could be seen everywhere else. The buildings in that village…

By all right, showing us this was showing us how strong their country was. This should be a secret that was closely guarded by them and the second prince should know this, but he was actually bringing us to tour the farms. It was almost as if he was inviting us to see the state of his country. Just how would that help him? But of course, we wouldn't turn this opportunity down. In the first place, the Midra Kingdom was still a hostile kingdom to our kingdom, even if we were trying to build…

The next morning, it was the second prince who came to visit us at the residence that we were staying at. He had arrived bright and early to show us around, waiting for us even when we weren't ready yet. It seemed like he was raring to go, which was very surprising. With the fame that the second prince had, he was certainly a very busy person. So it was strange that he was able to come this early in the morning. But what was stranger was where the second prince wanted to take us. He didn't want…

When we were in the room, it was only the fourth prince, me, and the second prince sitting there. The rest were all standing outside keeping guard, but that was quite awkward since it wasn't just our guards that were standing there. There were also the second prince's guards that were standing outside this room. They just stood on opposite sides and stared at each other awkwardly, but neither side let down their guards as they stared at each other. Inside the room, that was the least of our…

Once we had finished with the Beirut Kingdom, it was time to move to the next kingdom. However, this was not one that was as easy to deal with as the Beirut Kingdom. Unlike the Beirut Kingdom that was a den of corruption because of those that sat at the top, this next kingdom had someone who was holding it together. This one person had the same status as the fourth prince in our kingdom. We were heading to the Midra Kingdom. I was surprised by the one that greeted us since I never expected this…

The next morning, we went back for another audience with the king. Once again, all of the ministers gathered and they all had worried looks on their faces. This was our last day in this Beirut Kingdom after all, so it would be the day that we decided what we would be taking from them. This was what they had been afraid of the entire time. So naturally all of the ministers gathered so that they could say something if it came to it. When we stepped into the throne room, we immediately became the…

The next morning, we went back to the castle. It wasn't to meet with the king, but rather because there was something else there that we wanted to see. The prime minister and other ministers were up bright and early to greet us, but they were surprised when they heard where we wanted to go. "The royal library? Is that really all you want to do today?" The prime minister asked this with a surprised and confused look when he heard this. After all, he didn't think that the library was that valuable…
-
After a long silence, I gave a nod in response and said, "It seems like we don't have a choice. It seems that we really have to go with your plan." The fourth prince didn't seem happy when he heard this. With the way that his brows remained knitted, it was almost as if he was disappointed that this was the result. After all, the fourth prince's idea was to incite rebellion in the Beirut Kingdom and then take over their territory. But that was supposed to be a long term plan. If we were to do it…

When we were done inspecting the village, the next place that we went was one of the copper mines near the capital. This time, it was much more restrictive. The prime ministers and ministers did all that they could to keep us from going to certain parts of the mine. At the same time, they did what they could to stop us from talking to the people working at the mine. It was as if they were doing all that they could to stop the mine from catching our eyes. This was most likely because they didn't…
