After receiving the letter, Misako turned around to leave.
She purposely slowly walked out of the room. She was hoping Eldric would call her back.
Unfortunately, that never happened; his attention was never on her back. Rather, his attention was on the letter the Crown Prince had sent him. When she was about to close the door, she saw the Prime Minister looking pale as he read the letter. His face was covered in a layer of sweat. His hands were shaking as if he was reading something terrifying. 'What happened?' This was what she was left wondering.
She knew that, given her position, her curiosity would not be answered. Since she couldn't get his attention, she silently left. Meanwhile, Eldric couldn't calm his heart.
But right now, he looked very helpless. "Garrick, do you have any idea what you're doing?" Eldric tried to see if he could change Garrick's mind and end things peacefully. 'As for revenge, I will get plenty of opportunities to get my revenge on you.'
"I know what I am doing," Garrick responded in a calm tone. "Garrick, do you realize you're ruining your future with your own hands," Eldric asked. He hoped that this statement would change Garrick's mind as he knew Garrick's deep desire to impress his father and be the Next Emperor. "If you quit whatever you're planning, then I promise I will pursue His Majesty to let you become the Next Emperor as soon as possible." Eldric tried to appear as sincere as possible. But Garrick wasn't a two-year-old child who would believe in his lies. Not even Eldric had the opportunity to do this. And Garrick knew that.
"First of all, you should be addressing me as Your Royal Highness." Eldric expression turned ugly upon hearing this. Seeing Garrick silently looking at him, Eldric knew that he had to correct himself and apologize. But he was extremely unwilling to apologize to the person who kidnapped his entire family and brought him here. "My apologies, Your Royal Highness." Eldric has never felt more humiliated in his life.
"Your apology is lacking sincerity. Do it again!!" Garrick responded in a bored tone. This time, Eldric's frustration became even more apparent. He tightly clenched his fists. His hands trembled in anger. "Your Royal Highness, please forgive this lowly person for not appropriately addressing you." Garrick smiled, staring at Eldric. He loved the expression on Eldric's face. Just this expression was worth this whole thing. "Kneel!!" Garrick uttered in a soft tone. "I beg your pardon!!" Eldric felt that he had misheard. "I said, Kneel before your future King!!"
Hearing this sentence, Eldric could not hide his anger anymore. His eyes turned angry. He was the Prime Minister. The only time that he kneeled was during an official ceremony, which happened once every 20 years or even more. Eldric hated kneeling. He felt his whole face burn just with the thought of kneeling in front of Garrick. "Garrick, don't go too far!!" Eldric roared. Seeing this, everyone was surprised, including his own family. Eldric always has been very calm but this time first time they had seen Eldric looking this angry. "It seems you don't understand your situation." Garrick made eye contact with one of his Peak 5th-order bodyguards. "Do it!!" Eldric remained stunned as he witnessed one of his family members's head being severed with a dagger. The whole thing took place within a few seconds. ----------------
