Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 24: Issac And The Princess Talk About Intrigue
The journey finally began again. Issac accompanied princess Aurellia on her horse-drawn carriage, as did Olivia.
Issac did not expect that Olivia and Princess Aurellia would quickly become familiar.Even Issac was like a scarecrow because he was not invited to chat by them!
but well, Issac was happy because the distance between them seemed to disappear. Princess Aurellia was unexpectedly also easily familiar with Olivia. although in the end Olivia refused because somehow their status is very far from each other.
well seeing the two beautiful girls talking and laughing together was a beauty in itself for Issac.
while enjoying their talk, Issac leaned his head against the wall of the horse-drawn carriage.
no no no no. Issac shook his head.it would be dangerous if he slept now.if suddenly they were ambushed again, it would be troublesome for Issac.
Olivia who was sitting beside Issac looked at her master with worry. "what's the matter, sir? do you feel unwell?"
"no problem, I'm just a little sleepy.so there's nothing to worry about." Yeah actually with his current strength, he'll be fine despite not sleeping for three days.
but hey, during this week he's even only slept for five hours! it seems like what to expect from a corporate slave! well joking.in his whole life he never worked for any company.
after all, his drowsiness was somewhat treated with the two sweet girls next to and in front of him. That's what Issac told them to make a red hue appear on their cheeks.
it's really sweet medicine!
ekhem, Princess Aurellia corrected her attitude.
"Well, Mr. Issac, I don't think you're sleepy, tell us something. Anything is okay, isn't it Olivia?"
Olivia nodded like a child to be given her favorite toy.
"haduhhh, this is going to be troublesome, but yes." Issac grumbled in his heart.haish how troublesome it was, but if they were happy, Issac would not mind at all!
"then princess, let's start with your intention to come to Randall's territory."
Princess Aurellia gasped. His intention? does he know what he's going to do in Randall County? cold sweat poured out of his body.
I don't know why Olivia was so tense.
"definitely the princess wants to talk to my parents about your marriage with me right?!!"
of course Princess Aurellia and Olivia jumped in shock. wedding? since when did he want to talk about marriage! his tension was gone and replaced with an immense shame.
while Olivia is a bit confused by her condition.wedding? did you ever talk to your parents about marriage?
Issac who saw the expressions of the two girls finally laughed out loud.It was so funny! moreover, princess Aurellia's face was very cute when embarrassed!
"ekhem, sorry my princess is just joking. Let's be serious now." the atmosphere finally became more tense.
"the princess's goal to the Randall region, is to investigate the rumors that are rife about the unhealthy relationship between the La-Sa Guild and Marquis Randall right?"
this time the tension and shock really approached princess Aurellia.so surprised even she almost fell from her seat.
fortunately since she was a princess who had to maintain her dignity, she was able to withstand it.
"what makes you so sure of that, Mr. Issac? I didn't even write the reason for my arrival to Marquis Randall."
"it's simple. sometime before your arrival.maybe two months before you came here, rumors that the La-Sa guild bribed Marquis Randall spread. I believe sooner or later an investigation team will be sent to investigate it.
and it turns out that my guess was correct.the palace actually sent people to investigate the case.I just didn't expect that you'd be sent for it."
"hehh, interesting analysis.just right on target for...."
"there's more princesses."
Issac interrupted Putria Aurellia's conversation.Must be princess Aurellia was offended, but she kept her intention to open her mouth.
"i wonder why it takes a princess just to take care of this investigation.You even open a part of the investigation team at all."
Princess Aurellia remained silent at the ravings of Issac, but she felt something from the ravings of Issac.
"it seems that this order was not given directly by the king but through one of the future heirs to the next throne, Lewis J. Heinz. perhaps when you accept this task, he said, prince Lewis of his throne and his supporting nobles grinned in the throne room because you had eaten their bait."
this time princess Aurellia was much more shocked. HOW DID HE KNOW THAT LEWIS WAS SITTING IN THE KING'S SEAT? it's a pretty serious problem for royalty and royalty if this spreads.
"just relax.no need to worry about this widespread.I swear on my blood that this will never be leaked to anyone."
Princess Aurellia is obviously still suspicious and skeptical.Well, despite her age of 15 years, is a smart person.if this is the case she can not let go of Issac at all.
inevitably he had to make Issac his ally.Haihh how cunning this boy was.
Issac again grinned. "it seems you already know my intentions princess.but let's continue the matter.Why were you sent? the answer is clear: your existence will threaten their interests in the conflict of succession."
"where is it possible?!!! isn't it nearly impossible to inherit the crown?! why should I be eliminated?!"
Issac exhaled for a moment.
"it is precisely 'Almost impossible' that makes you have to be removed first. you are perfect in everything. beautiful, intelligent, strong, even loved by the people.
in addition, you are the king's favorite child.ideally after the king abdicated, the first child will be his successor, if the first child dies it will be inherited by his other brother.
There is no specific rule that forbids a woman from becoming ruler.During the history of the kingdom of Heinz more or less twice was ruled by a queen. even one of them had led Heinz to prosperity that neither the previous king nor the next could achieve.
that's why you need to get rid of the princess."
Issac ends his long talk about the conspiracy that befell Aurellia's daughter. Aurellia herself was just massaging her temples.too much information entered her head
"hahhh, I am honestly amazed to hear the words of Mr. Issac. I am confused whether to believe or not in your words. even if the monster ambush was an assassination attempt, I guess I'm just delusional."
Issac giggled, "well hopefully so. Believe it or not believe me I will hand it over to the princess.but obviously stay careful."
"is it true Mr Issac, aren't you worried that the conversation will be heard by others?"
" no need. I've put up a barrier so that the conversation is not heard by outsiders."
princess Aurellia breathed a sigh of relief.thank God.
finally, along the way to the Randall area, they continued to chat lighter things together until they reached the city of Randall at night.
