Chapter 921: Unwavering loyalty



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. Though at the same time, it seemed like many of them wanted the second prince to take over as the new king instead.

Their faces did look better when I announced that the former second prince would be the regent for the area, but it didn't seem much better.

Once that was over, the former second prince had his men take care of the rest before leading me to the royal study.

The two of us sat down while the guards just stood on the side.

The former second prince looked at me and we both agreed to let the guards leave, though Cecilia did stay behind.

The former second prince raised a brow to question it before it seemed like he had remembered something. He looked at Cecilia for a few seconds before giving a nod as if agreeing to her being here.

The three of us just sat there in silence for a bit before the former second prince started making some tea for all three of us.

It was at that moment that I said, "Former second prince, no, Regent Andrew, do you want to tell me what your goal is now?"

The former second prince, the one who was now known as Regent Andrew stopped when he heard this. However, he didn't remain still for long as he continued making the tea.

Only when he finished pouring the cups for all three of us did he sit back down.

Even after sitting back down, he didn't answer my question as he just casually took a sip of his

He didn't finish his words and there was no need for him to finish these words.

Hearing him say this and seeing the way that he looked, I couldn't help revealing a faint smile.

That was because he reminded me of the former fourth prince.

The game did set them as rivals, but it seemed that they were more similar than one thought.

Both of them just wanted what was best for their people, it turned out.

Well, this former second prince was a bit more extreme than the former fourth prince as he personally executed his own father and the nobles that once served him.

But I could tell that this was something that he did to show his determination.

Since that was the case...

"Well, I don't know anything about your unwavering loyalty, but I do understand your conviction. All I can say is that I won't trust your so called unwavering loyalty, but I do trust your conviction to your people."

Then in a colder voice, I said, "But if you ever cause harm to the people that I care about..."

I didn't finish my words just like Andrew had done earlier, but there was no need for me to finish these words in the first place.

Andrew revealed a smile when he heard this before bowing his head to say, "It is an honour to serve your majesty."

I gave a nod before saying, "Before you put any of your plans in action, at least give me a rough outline. That is the only thing that I request from you."

Andrew gave a slow nod in response with a faint smile on his lips.

He might be more extreme than the former fourth prince, but the former fourth prince had mellowed out.

So there was no reason why he shouldn't be able to.
