Chapter 419: : Possibilities
I raise my hand to ask his majesty questions. "Your majesty, how am I supposed to do that? Where would I get the funds to do that? At most the Foundation can only produce a hundred of swords but not thousands."
His majesty nods his head. "I understand the concern, Dame Csille. All the materials that is needed for forging swords will be take care of by the monarchy. All you need to do is to produce it for us. I will explain things in details later. Let's have a conversation about this later. For now, I will explain other things first."
He then explain in details what our roles will be and how important it is to the new department.
It took an hour and half for his majesty to finish explaining things to us.
"I know some of you still have concerns that you want to talk about. Don't worry, I will talk to each of one of you later. For now, I want to know if you want to accept the position I have offered to you or not."
His Majesty didn't even bother asking Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus. He just went straight to General Abarral.
"General Abarral will you accept the position I am offering to you?"
Although General Abarral have nod his head earlier, his majesty still ask him question. He was probably making sure that General Abarral is sure about his decision.
I look at General Abarral and find him staring at his majesty. I can see he is conflicted but he still ends up nodding his head just like earlier. He then bows his head at his majesty. "It will be my honor to serve under the new department. Thank you for trusting my abilities, your majesty. I will do my best to match your expectations."
His majesty nods his head in satisfaction before he turn to Colonel Randle. "Colonel? Are you willing to be part of the new department?"
Unlike General Abarral, Colonel Randle immediately bows his head. "Your majesty, it is my honor to be accept this position. Thank you for the trust."
His majesty then turn his head at Attorney Kirsa and Advisor Mallory. "Attorney Kirsa? Advisor Mallory? Do you accept the offer? It would be great to have the two of you in the Department."
The two ladies stares at each other for a couple of seconds before they bow their heads at his majesty.
"It will be our honor to accept the offer, your majesty."
I was hoping his majesty will ask me too but he didn't even bother glance at me. He just continues saying other things.
While I look at him in disbelief. I would understand if he wouldn't bother asking the two Princes but what did I do that he made him skip me? Did he thought I wouldn't accept his offer that's why he skipped me? But I wouldn't do that.
I was too engrossed with my thoughts that I got startled when his majesty suddenly stands up. He then looks at each of us. "All of you wait here. I will just need to talk to someone before I can talk to each one of you about your concerns. The Butler will call you once I am ready to talk to you."
He then excuse himself after saying those words. I look at his back and stare. His majesty didn't really bother asking me. Is he scared that I will reject his offer?
"Advisor Mallory, do you know how his majesty ends up picking us?"
I look at Attorney Kirsa who ask that question. How? It's because of me. I was the reason all of us were assigned in this new department.
What will their reaction be if they know I am the reason why they are here? Will they be happy or be mad at me?
Advisor Mallory shakes her head. "I have talked to his majesty yesterday and he mentioned names to me but all of us are not part of his list. I don't understand what happened. Maybe someone suggested us to his majesty as to who suggested it, that is not I am sure of."
General Abarral and Colonel Randle both have a grim face. While I heard Attorney Kirsa groans. "If I could only know who that person is, I would have put them in jail."
I swallow hard when I heard what Attorney Kirsa said. I think I already know the answer to my question earlier.
They are mad at me for what I did.
I remain quiet and avoids my eyes from them. I don't want anyone to see my eyes because I am afraid someone might noticed the guilt in my eyes.
I'm sorry, okay? I only suggested all of you because that is what I have written. I didn't know you wouldn't appreciate that. Please don't put me on jail Attorney Kirsa.
After the little rant about the culprit, who is me. The conversation shift to the current situation in the monarchy. In the middle of the conversation, I decided to excuse myself.
Prince Fraser probably noticed where the Butler's eyes is staring because he suddenly let go of my arm. As if he is disgusted holding me.
He then look at the Butler. "Is Father looking for me already?"
The Butler nods his head. "Yes, your highness. His majesty wants to talk to you already."
Prince Fraser didn't say anything and return inside the Palace while I stare at him with a
frown.
He was about to say something to me before the Butler arrived. But what is it? What does he
wants to say?
I was too deep in my thoughts that I got startled when the Butler suddenly speak. I look at him and frown. "Pardon?"
The Butler smile and shakes his head. "Nothing, Dame Csille."
I frown even more when I heard what he said. I don't think that is nothing. That smile is
telling me it is something.
"Nothing? I don't think it's nothing. Tell me what is it?"
The Butler stares at me for a couple of seconds. "I just couldn't help but wonder how great it
will be if his highness ends up with you." He then smile sadly at me. "It is really unfortunate for the Vrawyth Kingdom to lose a Queen like you."
I just stare at the Butler. I don't know how to respond to what he said. The Vrawyth Kingdom is unfortunate to lose a Queen like me? More like the Kingdom is
fortunes to lose a Queen like me. Who would want to have a Queen who would betray her own
Kingdom?
I just smile at Butler. "Things happens for a reason. In the future you will realize why his
highness made a decision like that. Who knows maybe all of us will realize that his decision is best for the Kingdom?"
Of course, it is really the best decision. He just avoided the Kingdom from having a selfish
Queen like Dame Csille.
The Burtler stares at me with a visible confusion in his eyes. He looks like he wants to say
something to me but he didn't say anything to me. He just nods his head and excuse himself
after.
I look at his back before I look up the bright sky. "But what would it be like if Csille becomes the Queen of the Vrawyth Kingdom? Will she still be the villainess if that happens? Will she still betray the Vrawyth Kingdom?" I mumbled to myself.
I heave a sigh and shake my head. Why do I even think about things that is impossible to
happen? No matter how much I think about the possibilities, it will be futile since Csille's destiny was already written.
I will be uploading two chapters for today. I have made a mistake so I don't have a choice but
to update twice.
