Chapter 701 A poor country (1)

In the end, there was nothing that they could do in the face of this royal decree.

It was a fact that they were behind on their payments, so they had to accept the demands that we were making since these demands were related to these payments.

What I was doing was inspecting the resources of their country to see what could be used as collateral for delaying this payment.

So what I was technically doing was the work of a debt collector.

The second reason why they were allowing all of this to happen was because of the wyverns that we had brought with us. It was like bringing a gun with us that would force them to accept our demands.

After all, if the wyverns were to rampage in their capital, the damage would be unimaginable.

That was the last thing that they could allow to happen, so they had to follow our demands.

Once that was settled, there wasn't much else that needed to be said as we were brought to the residence that they had prepared for us.

It was a bit worn down, but it was still considered a large mansion.

Though if one looked carefully, they could see that there were burn marks that were around this area. It seemed that this was one of the places that had been lit on fire when the wyverns attacked the capital.

Was this on purpose or was it just a coincidence.

It really was hard to tell.

Still, it wasn't as if we would be staying in this place forever, so we might as well suck it up for a night.

The inside was at least properly cleaned and decorated, so it wasn't as if it was lacking.

When the morning came, the prime minister was the one that came to pick us up.

There were even some guards that came since they thought that we were kidnapping people, but the prime minister and ministers quickly resolved that.

Though by the end of it, their faces were completely red since they had been embarrassed in front of their people like this.

Seeing this, the fourth prince and I looked at each other with faint smiles.

This was just one part of our plan.

The second part of our plan would come once we went into the air.

"Ah!"

There was even more screaming that rang out when our wyverns suddenly flew into the air.

The ones that were controlling the wyverns had annoyed looks since their passengers kept moving around. There were even some of them that tried to grab the wyvern riders to stabilize themselves, but they just flopped on their faces since they weren't used to moving on the back of the wyverns.

This wasn't something that anyone could do, let alone a bunch of ministers that spent most of their days in an office.

So most of them were just disorientating themselves as they struggled on the back of the wyverns.

I didn't have to suffer this fate since Joan was special.

She wasn't someone that I could let anyone ride, let alone people from other countries that could be hostile. She was the important Wyvern Queen that would maintain the peace between wyverns and humans, so nothing could happen to her.

Not that they would ever learn of this.

I could see from the back of Joan just how bad they were getting, which meant that our plan was working.

The fourth prince and I had even secretly told the wyvern riders to go as rough as they could with their passengers.

After all, we wanted them to be as dizzy as possible when they got off.
