Two days later, we were all gathered in the throne room. Since most of the ministers of the former Midra Kingdom had been executed because of the former second prince, that meant that we had to get replacements for them. The former second prince who was currently the regent was the one that picked them out. They were all nobles that had been scattered around the country, who had been ignored by the previous king because of their lack of wealth. For the previous king, the only ones that…

Six hours, that was all it took for the former second prince to quell the unrest in the former Midra Kingdom. When it was over, he even had me come to the balcony of the castle to announce that our kingdom was taking over the Midra Kingdom. There were many people that came to the ceremony that seemed 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 former second prince making this announcement that they chose to accept this.…

I just had a stunned look on my face when I saw him do this. But I wasn't the only one that was stunned by the second prince's actions. No, it was everyone that was stunned by this. That included the royal guards of the Midra Kingdom that had us completely surrounded. They seemed like they had no idea that the second prince would do something like this. There was a trace of unwillingness that was on their faces when they saw this, but they didn't do anything in the end. It seemed that at…

The king's eyes were still wide open as his head was separated from the rest of his body. There was a look of disbelief in those wide open eyes, as if he couldn't believe that the second prince would actually kill him. Even before they were king and prince, they were father and son. He didn't believe that his own son would kill him like this... But the fact that the king's head dropped to the ground with a splash of blood was a fact that couldn't be ignored. Everyone just stared in shock as…

The way that he said this seemed like he wasn't surprised to see the second prince doing this. The way that he said this made it seem like the second prince was laying a trap for us. So I couldn't help clenching the Staff of Earth in my hand and the royal guards couldn't help clenching their weapons. But that wasn't what the king meant by this. The king continued by saying, "You're initiating a coup at a time like this? Do you know how much turmoil this will put our citizens in? Do you know…

After the gates opened, there were people that were standing there waiting for us. These weren't the nobles that acted as ministers for the kingdom. Rather, these were the servants and guards that worked in the castle. The moment that they opened the door, they all bowed to the second prince who was leading our group. The way that they acted around him made it clear that they all respected him and treated him as their superior. It was clear that they didn't care at all about the king that…

Once we came out, the second prince brought us over to where the wyverns were waiting. It wasn't just our wyverns that were waiting there, it was also the ten wyverns that I gave him that were waiting there as well. All of them had riders on them except for one. This one still had a saddle and it seemed like it was waiting for someone to get on it. It turned out that the one that was riding this wyvern was the second prince. He got on the wyvern like it was a natural thing. It was as if…

The camp was much bigger than expected, but it also seemed a bit messy. Though it was a strange kind of messy... The reason it was messy was because there were different kinds of tents that were scattered all over the place. It was as if these tents all came from different places rather than from a single place. It was as if it was a big mix of random things rather than one unified camp. Which was why it seemed messy. This was accentuated even further when one looked closely at the armour…

The next morning came and there was nothing special that happened. It was the same thing where the ministers tried to convince Klein to move out again, but they were once again rejected. Even though it was very clear that they were frustrated, there was just nothing that they could do since we had come to help them. We were the ones that were offering our generosity, so there was nothing that they could say. But it was very clear that they were getting fed up at this rate. It was only a…

It didn't seem like the second prince had anything to say to this as he didn't make himself seen for several more days. It was as if the second prince had completely disappeared from the capital during this time. He didn't leave a single trace of himself and no one seemed to know where he went. But at the same time, it didn't seem like anyone knew where he had gone. Was this because of his influence or was it because they were afraid of him? It was hard to tell at this point since I had…
