Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 58: First Meeting
"You used your own fiancee to watch over the boy and kill him!? So Hurry!"
Bernard Rutsell was troubled by his ears. Using Anna Sera as a tool to watch over Issac and kill him? no kidding! Bernard clenched his hand and kicked the table.
"Tch, how noisy you are Bernard. It was the best decision we took. So there's no need to protest."
disturbed by Bernard's actions, Geitz sneered at Bernard and downed his wine. Gustave and the other nobles also looked indifferent and continued to play along with their 'toys.
Bernard finally resigned. actually in preparing people to oversee the activities of Issac.whether he is responsible for it. But before he moves, he is forced to change his plan.
Bernard didn't mind over who should keep an eye on Issac, but if in the end the choice fell on Anna then it was their biggest blunder.by far as Bernard was watching, Anna and Issac had been close friends before the order to keep an eye on Issac was given to Anna.
it would probably be fine if the task was given to Anna from the beginning but it was too late. Bernard did not know for sure but clearly sooner or later Anna would tell Issac about this.
"Will the future of the kingdom be fine if it is left to those who are not even fit to deal with something like this?"
the pessimistic expression he kept in his heart, in fact he did not want to make Issac as an enemy. he himself did not know much about Issac but his intuition told him that Issac was a person he should not anger.
this happened when he accidentally saw Issac as the entrance examination progressed.His overwhelming strength and unmeasured mana capacity, thinking of such a thing made him goosebumps again.
well as for now, he just wanted to keep an eye on Issac. when he said that the noble faction had to find the right time to finish him off was the reason he alone so that he could read the potential power of Issac. although he was certain that they could not even get rid of Issac even if they wanted to.
more specifically, he would not have been interested in joining them if it were not for his family position.This is sad, but because the good relationship with the Conrad family is long enough, finally Count Rutsell had to be on the same side as Duke Conrad in the competition for the crown.
and to strengthen Count Rutsell's position he had to work with the Gustave.he didn't look at Gustave with respect or anything, Gustave was just a narcissist who wanted to seize the title of Duke that would be passed on to his brother from the Duke's other wife, Maximilian Conrad.
Gustave felt that he was more worthy than Maximilian because the noble blood in his body was pure blood.unlike Maximilian whose blood was dirty because of the results of the role of the common people. when asked who is the most talented, of course it is Maximilian.
Bernard exhaled and then left the room.facing them was always troublesome.
"Hopefully nothing bad happened to me."
after saying that he went down the hall which was quite dark.
*****
"Aaaaccchoo" Brrr, uhh I feel cold.Is there anyone talking about me? bodo is very real, but still this sneeze is very disturbing!
"Ah, what's wrong with Issac? are you sick?" James who looked confused because I suddenly sneezed asked.
today I'm with James and Anna is, what am I supposed to say, a meeting maybe?
by the way, since from now on Anna has started working with me, I decided to bring Anna together with James.
well when it comes to knowing that Anna is the son of the ruler of the territory she came from, the atmosphere keeps a little awkward, but since Anna is an Egalitarian and supple girl, the situation is very awkward, that awkwardness finally disappeared in a short period of time.
the reason I brought them together was simple because they would be co-workers who coordinated with each other. With this our work would be easier.
this view looks weird, doesn't it? three 13-year-old boys are in a meeting and discussing such a dangerous theme? but in this world 15 years are considered adults so those who are 13 years old are not seen as very children.
"Well I'll start, as usual, the boy of nobility.they all spend their time fiddling. I was also asked to continue monitoring you by Gustave and the others but..."
but what is Anna!? why do you have the habit of cutting your words in the middle of the road!? geez this girl.if her Mood is good she'll be like this all the time.
"You have to be wary of one person. Bernard Rutsell's."
I tilt my head, "Bernard Rutsell? fourth-year student and heir to the Rutsell family. What's wrong with him? I don't know much about him."
"i am the same, but as far as I am concerned, when compared to others, he is a student with sharp intuition and also careful. I wouldn't be surprised if he already knew that I was talking about the assignment Gustave gave you."
ohhh.I nodded while holding my chin. This is interesting. Bernard Rutsell? it seems like I have to be careful with him. Should I meet him at least once? all right, let's set that up for later.
I thank Anna and now it's James' turn to report.
"so far, as expected, their unity has not been solid. they do not yet have a clear motivation and orderly arrangement.there is no action. Most of their plans only arrive at the mouth but..."
well James, don't go along, okay?
"there was one striking third-year disciple among them, his name was Theodore. I think among the rest of the faction he was the one who was most fiercely hostile towards the nobility.
until now I and even most of us still do not know where the hatred comes from."
uwaahhhh is this Theodore radical? justin the hell.but a person who is too extreme like him has the possibility to interfere with my plan.I will think of a way to overcome it later.
alright, since the meeting is over, finally the formal atmosphere is gone. I invited him my two best friends to have tea in the cafeteria. ahhh it's good today!
