Chapter 696 Diplomatic mission

I didn't need to ask to know why he thought this.

The biggest problem with this was the wyvern itself.

That was because the wyvern was what had ended the war.

That meant that the wyverns had left a deep impression on all of the other countries.

If wyverns were to suddenly show up in their borders, there was no doubt that they would immediately think that war was being declared on them. They would think that our country would be using the wyverns to invade them.

But that was also because of who I was.

If I didn't have my current status, then I would be able to fly across the different borders without a problem since I would be traveling alone. A single wyvern passing by wouldn't be considered a threat and would be considered a natural thing.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

It was just that if a pack were to appear, they would assume that it was an intentional invasion.

After all, only our nation was able to control wyverns like this.

So if wyverns were to suddenly appear in their territory, they would immediately think that our nation was involved in this matter.

So that was what the fourth prince meant by starting a war.

Yes, traveling by wyvern would be equal to starting a war, but...

It was also the only way that I could travel to make it in time.

This event was one with a time limit, so I had to arrive in that country before a certain amount of time passed. The signs that were already there meant that the current time limit was a month and a half, so I couldn't wait three months to get there by horse carriage.

With the wyverns, it would only take me a week to reach that country.

I looked at the fourth prince and said, "I'm sure that you can think of some way to make it work. This is something that needs to happen, so I'll trust in your abilities as my future prime minister."'

But there was also something that I had to ask, "Are you sure that we should be doing this? Won't this breed further hatred between our countries if we suppress them like this?"

With a faint smile, the fourth prince said, "You would think so, but that isn't the case. After all, without a bit of fear, there isn't any respect. So unless we give them something to fear, they will never put down their pride and negotiate with us properly. It's all about the carrot and stick."

I slowly gave a nod even though I didn't really agree with this, but the fourth prince had never been wrong about these kinds of things before.

Since he was saying that this was the way we should do this, then I wouldn't doubt him.

But there was still a problem that had to be addressed.

I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this, but I didn't reject it right away.

Instead, I asked, "How long will it take?"

The fourth prince slowly said, "A month, that is the minimum that I can bring your schedule down to. Any shorter and we risk offending the different countries."

I didn't answer right away as I fell into deep thought.

In my head, the timing for the event quickly ran.

A month...that would be tight, but it was definitely doable.

So I slowly gave a nod as I said, "Alright, that works."

The fourth prince let out a sigh of relief before saying, "Alright, let's start planning this."

The king just watched with a smile on his face as he thought to himself...

"The future of the kingdom is secure."
