Chapter 113 - : The Threat Of Wrezatia Kingdom

Prince Fraser sigh. "We're going to talk about the Strzalka first." He then looks at me. "Csille, have you talked to the Great Ruler?"

I shake my head at him as a response. Come to think of it. Since we arrived here in the Saiven Kingdom, I didn't hear anything from the Great Ruler. 

"I haven't talked to him. The last conversation I had with him is when we stopped to move to the Vrawyth carriage. He said he would come at us if he gathered enough information about the Strzalka, but until now, I didn't hear from him. Maybe they are still busy looking for clues."

Prince Fraser shakes his head. "Let's just visit him later. It's better if the Great Ruler will be with us when we explain things to Queen Amalone."

Everyone nods their head at Prince Fraser's remarks. It's not that the Queen will doubt our words, but the Great Ruler can definitely explain things more precisely. 

"This Strzalka. How can we find them if they are so cunning? Also, didn't the henchman said that they have spies all over the Kingdoms. So, it means they also have spies in the Saiven. What would we do if they take action against us? They definitely have the upper hand since we don't know them, but they know us," Leander suddenly said. 

What Leander said is true. Dealing with the Strzalka will definitely be tricky. If only I can talk with the Virtouse, maybe they could help me with our problem. This is against the plot, and I know they will do something to fix this mess. 

However, up until now, I still haven't talked with them. My night is actually dreamless, which I don't understand. The Virtouse usually visit me on the exact day if I have problems, but it's been days now, and I still haven't heard a thing from them. Where are they?

"It's the reason why I ask all of you not to spread any news about the Strzalka. We cannot let people know what is happening, or it will alert everyone."

Rufus shakes his head. "But Queen Amalone will visit us and the Great Ruler too. Wouldn't that make anyone suspicious?"

Leander shakes his head. "Queen Amalone is the Queen of the Vrawyth Kingdom. It won't be suspicious if she will coincide the date to the official visit of the Queens."

Before the competition would start, each Queen of the Kingdom will have their official visit to the representatives of their own Kingdoms. It is to check their training and their condition. It is also to give advice to the representatives.

I nod my head. That is actually a good plan. If Queen Amalone visits us on the same date of the official visit, no one will raise questions about it.

But we only have one problem. "How about the Great Ruler? You said he needs to be here when the Queen visits us. If people know that the Queen and the Great ruler both visit us, wouldn't it raise doubt to other people?" I asked.

Their plan is actually okay, but the problem is the Great Ruler has a unique identity. If the other Kingdom knows about his visit to the Vrawyth residence. I'm sure the Vrawyth Kingdom will be put in a difficult situation. 

Princess Paislee shakes her head. "Have you forgotten Lady Csille?"

I frown. What did I forget? I look at Princess Paislee. "Forgot what?"

"Prince Fraser and you are both Godchildren of the Great Ruler. Will people dare to question it if they know that the Great Ruler is only visiting his Godchildren?"

I shake my head at her. "But if people know that we are the Godchildren of the Great Ruler, wouldn't that make the Vrawyth Kingdom the enemy of all?"

I don't think it's a wise move to do that. The Illorian City is one of the things that each Kingdom wants to associate with. I know they will be enraged when they know that the Vrawyth's Crown Prince and his fiancée are both Godchildren of the Great Ruler. I don't even want to imagine what will happen.

Prince Fraser squeezes my hand. I look at him and frown. What? Did I say something wrong? I'm just telling them the possible scenario if they know we are Godchildren of the Great Ruler.

"It's the reason why we need to talk to the Great Ruler beforehand." Prince Fraser looks at me. "Csille, can you send a message to Ruler Laird and ask him if we can visit him tomorrow night?"

I nod my head at Prince Fraser. It's been a while since I last talk with him. Although I don't feel okay being with the Ruler Laird before but I kind of miss his presence now. 

Rufus shakes his head. "But if the people know that we're visiting him, wouldn't that attract envy from others?"

I sigh. It really will. As far as I know, since the Great Ruler arrived at the Saiven Kingdom, every Kingdoms have assigned someone to visit the Great Ruler every day. But most of them didn't even pass the gate.

I look at Prince Fraser, waiting for his response. "It's the reason why we cannot go in there as the Vrawyth Kingdom people. We will be disguising ourselves as simple citizens. Also, not everyone of us will be visiting the Great Ruler." Prince Fraser looks at me. "Csille, Sir Farren, and I are the ones who will go to the assigned residence of the Illorian City."

Rufus and Leander agree without complaint. "It's actually a good strategy to leave someone behind. So, people won't get too suspicious. Also, when do you plan to visit the Great Ruler?" Leander asks.

"Tomorrow night. We will visit them. We need to get things clear on the Great Ruler side before Queen Amalone visits us. So, we won't have problems."

We all agree with what Prince Fraser said. The issue with the Strzalka is difficult to resolve on our own. We need the Queens to deal with this. 

"Until we haven't solved the issue with the Strzalka, I advise anyone to take extra precautions every time. We're in the Saiven Kingdom, and the spies of the Strzalka are the ones who had the advantage. If you're going out, make sure that you have someone with you." He looks at me and squints his eyes. "Especially you, Csille. We all know that the Strzalka have a portrait of you. Not until we know what they want from you, you will need to have guards beside you. You cannot get out of the residence without a guard beside you. Is that clear?"

I want to roll my eyes at him. He's doing it again. I know he's only worried about my safety, but this definitely goes against the freedom of Csille. I haven't even enjoyed the Saiven Kingdom without anyone interrupting me, and now he wants me to bring a bunch of guards with me? Isn't that unfair?

I sigh. No matter how much I refuse, I know I cannot win this argument. Especially it doesn't just involve me but also the whole Vrawyth Kingdom. 

Strzalka? I really need to talk to the Virtouse tonight. I need to know where this Strzalka came from and why do they know morse code. 

The Virtouse said that if the plot continues to change and the fictional world starts to notice the changes. It will begin to ruin this world. But the Strzalka is definitely not my doing. Will this world collapse because of the Strzalka? 

"Csille?"

I wake up from the trance and look at Prince Fraser, who is worriedly looking at me. I nod my head. "I understand. I will follow to your command."

Prince Fraser nods his head in satisfaction. "Okay, since we cannot do anything about the Strzalka issue. We're going to set it aside for now. We will need to talk about the strategy we will use in the competition. We all know that all the seven Kingdoms have sent a group of representatives for this Competition. And-"

Rufus cuts off Prince Fraser's words. "Even the Wrezatia will join this Competition?"

Prince Fraser nods his head. "They usually sent representatives every year. However, since they don't usually interact with any Kingdom, their presence is always forgotten."

The Wrezatia Kingdom? My eyes immediately widen when I remember something about the Wrezatia Kingdom. 

I slap the table with the sudden burst of emotion. How can I forget about that important thing? How dumb you are, Ysavel? It could put the Vrawyth Kingdom at risk, but I how dare I forget about it?

All of them looks at me with a confused expression. "Csille? Are you okay? Why did-"

I didn't even let Rufus finished his words. I look at Prince Fraser and hold on to one of his arms. "The Wrezatia Kingdom!"

Prince Fraser frowns. "What's with the Wrezatia Kingdom? Why do you look so worked up?"

I hold Prince Fraser's arms tightly. "Remember yesterday? I was out when someone left the flower in Sir Farren's room. I was strolling around the Saiven Kingdom when I saw Prince Joachim-"

"You met Prince Joachim, and you didn't even tell me that?" Prince Fraser squints his eyes at me. 

Oh, oh. Why do I need to mention him in front of Prince Fraser? I definitely know he hates Prince Joachim for unknown reasons. 

I smile awkwardly at Prince Fraser. I also put down my hand that is holding on to his arms. "Sorry, I forgot. However, that's not the issue here, okay?"

Prince Fraser chuckled. "That's not an issue? He is definitely an issue here, Csille? Have you forgotten he gave you Aster flowers? Aster flowers? Out of all the flowers? He gave you Aster flowers? And you're telling me he is not an issue? He is definitely an issue here!"

Can you calm down, Prince Fraser? Why do you need to be angry with Prince Joachim? I sigh. "We already talked about this, right? Why are you bringing all of this again?"

I want to mess my hair out of frustration. Prince Joachim already explains things to us before. I don't understand why he won't believe his words.

Prince Fraser sighs and shakes his head. "You cannot expect me to be calm if it's about Prince Joachim. He is definitely into you, Csille. So, please stay away from him."

Jeez, isn't he too possessive to Csille? Which is ironic because Csille isn't his female lead. 

I shake my head at him. Prince Fraser is really stubborn. He won't believe Prince Joachim no matter what.

"As I was saying, I saw Prince Joachim with the Princes and a Princess of the other Kingdoms." It's better to continue the conversation instead of arguing with Prince Fraser.

"And what does it have to do with us? It's normal for other Kingdoms to interact with each other."

I roll my eyes at Rufus' remarks. "Do you think I would react this way if I didn't find something wrong?"

I know Rufus is smart, but sometimes he's dumb intelligent. I sigh and continue what I was saying. "I saw him with Prince Reeve and Princess Roes of the Saiven Kingdom. And yes, I know that Prince Joachim is close with the royalties from the Saiven Kingdom. However, the problem is the Crown Prince of the Wrezatia Kingdom is with them too."

They all gasp in unison. They all know who I am talking about and how important the identity of this Crown Prince is. 

"Prince Wischard Devine. The Crown Prince of the Wrezatia Kingdom," Prince Fraser whispered. He then holds my hand tighter.

I look at him, and I see him frowning. Is he anxious? He knows that once the Wrezatia Kingdom takes side, the one who will be in danger is the Vrawyth Kingdom.

Rufus slams the table and stands up from his seat. "What does that Crown Prince want? He definitely knows how important the role of the Wrezatia Kingdom is for all the Kingdoms," Rufus looks at me. "Csille, when did you see him? Did you talk to him?" He then looks at Prince Fraser. "Fraser, we definitely need to talk to that Crown Prince. He is putting our lives in danger!" Rufus shouts agitatedly.

I shake my head at him. "Rufus, can you calm down first? We will talk about this, okay? But you need to calm down first. How can we talk if you will shout at us like that?"

Rufus sigh and slumps into his seat. Everyone got silent because of what happened. They all know how things will change if the Wrezatia Kingdom will take sides. 

It is definitely bad news for all of us. But I hope we are all wrong.
