Chapter 1012: Taboo zone



"I want information on this place." I suddenly said to the prime minister and chancellor after returning to the meeting room.

The others had been patiently waiting for us, but they were caught off guard by my sudden request.

Some of them even had strange looks on their faces when they saw where I was pointing on the map.

That was because they came from the kingdom that was near the place that I was pointing, so they were familiar with the place that I was referring to. Only, none of them could understand why I was pointing to that place.

After all, that place was considered a taboo zone for them.

The prime minister and chancellor also had confused looks on their faces as they didn't understand why I would suddenly ask about this place.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But in the end, the prime minister said, "It's a taboo zone on the border of the Vikal Kingdom known as the Land of Giants. It's a place where a small tribe of giants has settled and a place that is left alone because of said tribe of giants."

After a pause, he looked at me with narrowed eyes and asked, "What are you planning to do?" He didn't even bother waiting until we were in private to ask this, he asked this in front of everyone because he wanted to use them to pressure me.

If he had asked me in private, I might have made some kind of excuse that would have stopped him from asking any further. But since we were in front of everyone, I had to at least give him a proper answer.

That was why he had done this.

I understood, so I said, "Now that we've taken over all of the surrounding countries and made our kingdom much stronger, there is no doubt that we will pose a threat to the giants. It's only a matter of time before they come at us, either with words or with force."

Then after a pause, I continued by saying, "Though in the case of the giants, it's more likely that they will use force rather than words."

Everyone had serious looks on their faces when they heard this.

Eventually, the group from the Vikal Kingdom slowly nodded in agreement.

I just gave a small nod as I said, "It's something similar."

The prime minister narrowed his eyes even more to look at me before slowly shaking his head, "Unless you explain to me what you're planning to do, I won't agree to this. It's completely different from before, you are now the king of this kingdom, we can't let you put yourself at risk."

Though there were some people that looked like they wanted to hear my plan, they still nodded in agreement to the prime minister.

They recognized I was the king of the kingdom, so they had to at least show this kind of

loyalty.

But it was clear by the look in their eyes that they thought that whatever plan I had was certainly worth trying.

Even the chancellor seemed like he thought this.

The only reason that he didn't say anything was because of the look that was on the prime minister's face.

This was a look that was completely different from the usual calm and collected prime

minister.

This was the look of someone who clearly was letting his emotions affect his thoughts.

But that wasn't strange since I was his brother in law.

I slowly shook my head in the end before saying, "I'm the only one that can do this, so there's

no other choice."

"No." The prime minister said in a firm voice.

It seemed like neither side was about to back down.
