I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 7 The Royal Cooperation of Albion and Kano
Previous story:
Eva returns to Kano and studies as usual. At that time he got word from Ricko that the boy was in danger. So Eva calls Ren and asks him for help. Ren helped her quickly.
Then the next day envoys from the kingdom of Albion began to arrive at the kingdom of Kano. Their group looks very luxurious. Kings and princes came alone to Kano without messengers. This was the first time Eva had seen them and somehow a sense of familiarity appeared when she saw the old King's face.
***
King Albion and the young prince entered the hall guided by the Crown Prince. After that, I could not see their whereabouts anymore. I'm not too interested in those messengers from the Kingdom of Albion. So that I have no intention of looking further into the cooperative relationship they are talking about. My curiosity only stopped here.
I followed the other students back to class because it was still a lesson after this. But the princes and princesses also attended the meeting in the palace hall. The classroom atmosphere felt very quiet.
***
King Albion and prince Erick enter the palace hall, led by the Crown Prince who smiles kindly at them. There some important nobles, princes and princesses and King Kano were already waiting for them.
"Welcome" King Kano gave his best smile.
"I'm sorry to visit you at such a busy time" King Albion said.
"No problem." replied King Kano. "Please sit down" he invited King Albion to sit opposite him.
There was a small round table in the middle of them with four luxurious chairs surrounding him. Prince Erick sat on one of the chairs, as did the crown prince. Others just heard their talk. Stand patiently at the edge of the hall.
"Thank you for visiting our kingdom" King Kano smiled kindly again. He waved his hand, calling the servants to prepare a small banquet at their table. The servants moved quickly, took the food cart not far from it and began to arrange it on the table.
"I hope you like his snacks and tea" said King Kano.
King Albion glanced at the sweet-smelling flower tea in front of him. Without any suspicion, he picked it up and gulped it down. "It's delicious" he said with sparkling eyes as he nodded lightly.
The two kings had a light conversation like greeting each other and asking each other the news. Until finally, their conversation came to a point.
King Albion wants to form a cooperative relationship. King Kano welcomed the idea with great pleasure.
"What kind of cooperative relationship do you want to have?" ask King Kano.
King Albion glanced at his son, Prince Erick. "Maybe marriage?" He said in a seductive tone.
Prince Erick heard that and immediately flinched. He wanted to say something but King Albion cut him off. "I was just kidding" he said with a laugh.
Prince Erick sighed. Although he still felt uncomfortable at least he felt relieved that his father did not sell it to be a political tool.
Princess Kano was quite excited when she heard about the proposal of a political marriage. That's because Prince Erick is so handsome. He would agree that this matchup happened. But it turns out that King Albion was just joking. He became disappointed again after hearing her.
"What about trade and military aid?" King Albion proposes. "We're going to create a transportation circle in the center of the country, so we can help each other if one of us needs help."
"..."
King Albion continued his explanation when he saw King Kano not responding. "I heard that you formed a cooperative relationship with the Kingdom of Well. Like exchange students so that the young can be close to each other. I'd be very happy if Prince Erick could join us" he said. "And also I heard that the relationship of the kingdom of Kano with the Kingdom of Well is very bad from the past. We are ready to help your kingdom if war does occur" King Albion said boldly without regard to his words making King Kano uncomfortable.
"I have no problem with Prince Erick joining our academy. But are you really sure you're gonna send soldiers in when the war happens?" ask King Kano again.
"Yes" King Albion nodded.
King Kano smiled. It's a good plan, too. Although he did not plan to fight in the near future, it was likely that it could be because his foolish sons were so useless.
The two kings talked about trade. King Albion has some items that King Kano thinks are very foreign. That was natural since the Kingdom of Albion was located very far away from this area. Their islands were different and the Kingdom of Albion was located near the sea. So very many items were obtained from the sea, which was very foreign in the eyes of King Kano.
After their relationship was completed. King Albion will stay for today and return tomorrow. Prince Erick will stay in the Kano kingdom for classes in their kingdom.
***
Classes are over. I went straight to the dormitory because I wanted to do some things. I want to call Vivian again. Then Ricko. Later Denis. These three people are the key points of the matter that have made my mind so messy lately.
This time the smelly boy received my telepathic signal.
"How are you doing?" ask me with a little tinge. I still feel annoyed that he ignored my telepathic signal earlier.
"I'm fine" Ricko replied in a very tired tone. "Sorry before. We had to move, so I really didn't have time to answer your telepathic signals" she apologized.
"No problem. What about the others? Are you guys really okay?" My anger disappeared, changing with anxiety.
"We all moved and lived in a new place because the old place was completely unsafe. Even though the elves helped us get rid of them. Those witches could come at any time to attack again. Everything is so tiring" Ricko explained as he sighed several times. "But take it easy. They're all fine. There are some people who are injured. But they're cured after treatment."
"That's great. So where did you decide to live now?"
"I don't know. I really still don't know any area in this world. Everything is so foreign. We use the transport circle and move. But it's still a dense forest" Ricko explained.
I told Ricko to be careful. After all, this world is not safe, full of battles and also death. After that, I ended it. It's already night, the boy must be exhausted. I don't want to interrupt his break.
After that I called Vivian. There was no decision from the government. The fate of our store is still unclear. I can only wait now.
Now the most stressful. I've never called Denis by telepathy. Did I ever do that? If so, I don't remember it at all. Since the man was not in the capital, I was afraid that he would not ignore my telepathic signals.
But my guess is wrong. He accepted it quickly.
"...."
But the man only kept quiet after receiving the signal. It makes the atmosphere feel very awkward.
"Your majesty." I started the conversation.
