Chapter 900: Should we help?



The matter with Ariel wasn't one that could be settled that quickly since we still had to do our investigation on Viper's claims.

So before then, there was nothing for Ariel to do other than play around in the castle.

From time to time, she would go to the capital and walk around observing human culture. However, it seemed that the thing that she was most interested in now was sumo with the royal guards.

Perhaps it was because she found friends that shared the same hobby as her.

It turned out that it wasn't only Erina alone who was a muscle brain.

It turned out that many of the female royal guards were the same as her.

They all had the hobby of bodybuilding, so it was easy for them to become friends with Ariel just as Erina had done.

Still, that meant that at least she wouldn't be bored in the castle.

This meant that she would at least be occupied while she was waiting for us to finish our part.

But that didn't mean that I was as free as her.

For the first few days, I was allowed to go around with Ariel since she was a royal guest and it was my duty to show her around.

But after those first few days, I was dragged back into the office by the prime minister.

It seemed that there was some work that he wanted me to do.

Or it was better to say that there was some work that he wanted to toss to me instead of doing it himself. Though the way that he said it was as if it was important work that was for me.

That was why we were in my office holding a meeting this day.

"There's a reason why we have border guards. Not to mention, if it comes to that, that is when we should help them. Helping them at that point will mean that they have reached a point where they can't take care of the problem themselves and it will be easy for us to destroy their kingdom, taking them over."

I looked at the prime minister with a confused look.

It wasn't as if he wouldn't be able to figure this out, so it was even more strange why he wanted to help them.

I just couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, the prime minister suddenly said, "Well, it isn't as if there isn't anything for us to gain from this."

The way that he was being mysterious really annoyed me, so I said, "Just tell me what it is that you're planning already."

The prime minister didn't answer this as he said, "Is it that hard to believe that I wouldn't help out of the goodness of my heart?"

"When hell freezes over." There was no hesitation in my voice as I said this.

The prime minister revealed a hurt look as he said, "You really have that little faith in me?"

Once again, I gave a nod without any hesitation.

There was no need for me to be polite with the prime minister since we were in laws.

The prime minister just shook his head with a sad look and gave a sigh.

I had enough, so I stood up as if I was planning to leave.

It was only when I did this that the prime minister put an envelope on the table.

I pointed at it and asked, "This is?"

The prime minister just said with a smile, "You'll know when you read it."
