THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 46: DISCUSSION OF COOPERATION
"Cooperation? What do you mean?", asked Limo confusedly, he looked at Ren silently.
However, according to Limo, Myro was only a puppet master that Ren had put in front so that he could act secretly. During this time, Limo had already observed Myro and had not found anything great from him at all. Therefore, an intelligent person like Ren and strong like Falka could not possibly be a follower of Myro.
This makes Limo convinced that Myro is only the puppet leader, the real leader is Ren who moves more carefully and intelligently. So Limo looked towards Ren to ascertain why this puppet leader dared to speak as if he was the real leader.
Ren knew that Limo was now confused as to what was happening, a powerful aura emerged from Ren's body "General Limo, please remain respectful to my master! Let me tell you that what determines your future fate is not me but my master, as long as you decide to execute yourself then I will definitely kill you, if the master says to report you to the 4th prince then I will do so, and if the master decides to cooperate with you then that means cooperating. However, had you continued to take my master for granted, I would definitely not have let you leave here alive".
Based on the powerful aura that Ren gave him, Limo knew that Ren was not lying at all, if he dared to underestimate Myro again then Ren must have moved without hesitation.
Despite not knowing the reason why Ren was truly loyal to a person with no background like Myro, Limo could only ask cautiously "Then Mr. Myro, then, what do you mean by cooperation?".
Since learning that Ren was loyal to Myro was not a lie, Limo decided to be more respectful towards Myro and called him master. Although Myro was a 10-year-old child, with the support of Ren or Falka, no one dared to underestimate him.
Myro did not care about Limo's changed attitude, he immediately said "General Limo, I know that you are loyal to King Azeroth V, I know that you are loyal to King Azeroth V, but as long as the king finds out that the treason plot was exposed, he'll agree to kill you to keep your mouth shut. However you may have proof that the king is the man behind all these plans, therefore you must be put to death so that no one else knows the king's plan".
"You think I'm afraid?" said Limo stubbornly "Since I accept this duty then I'm ready to die, you better give up on persuading me because I will never betray the king!".
Myro shook his head "Listen first I speak until it's over before you answer it. Our cooperation is that I won't reveal the 4th prince assassination plot, instead then you should stop trying to kill the 4th prince as well. In addition, I also need 1 other thing you should do in exchange for hiding your rebellion plan. I can assure you that this plan has nothing to do with treason against King Azeroth V, so you need not worry. Wouldn't it be better that you stay alive but don't need to betray King Azeroth V?".
Limo hesitated for a while, if he could not die and not betray, then Limo certainly did not mind even having to give a lot of money.
Therefore, Limo started to keep her sword and said "Tell me 1 more thing I should do, if I could do that then I would have agreed to cooperate. As for not killing the 4th prince, though, I can do it because the noble would be glad that the 4th prince could add a new territory to the Azeroth Kingdom that is the territory of the Cavalry Kingdom despite having to use the help of others".
Myro nodded "The task I need you to do is to persuade the king to give me a high enough title after crying from the Cavalry Kingdom, at least the Baron with his own territory. You must be quite close to the king because you can get the task of killing the 4th prince from him, at least the king considers you a trustworthy person, am I right?".
Myro rolled his eyes "Do you think a prince who was almost sent by the king to die could convince the king to grant me a high noble title? At most I can only obtain the title of Baron without territory, nobles without territory are not at all considered nobles by other nobles, you definitely understand that right? Therefore, if you who are the king's trusted general and prince try to persuade the king, I'm sure he will agree. This act is not betraying King Azeroth V, you can also stay alive because I kept the rebellion a secret. How come? Isn't this how everyone can get what they need?".
Limo looked at Myro again from top to bottom, realizing that he seemed to take Myro too lightly before.
Although not as smart and cunning as Ren to make a plan, at least he managed to make the situation profitable for all parties.
Limo knew from the beginning that the 4th prince won though, it was impossible to appoint a son of nobility not known as a new nobleman with the territory, except for the son of Earl Arno who still had influence over the capital. Earl Arno could definitely persuade the higher-ups in the Royal Capital of Azeroth to let his son become a noble like a knight or a Baron who owned the territory, either, without power then the noble title was just something not very valuable.
But with the support of Limo then everything is different, King Azeroth V certainly has a very high possibility of agreeing to his persuasion if not too excessive. After all, Limo's position as general was far more important than the prince's 4th prince to King Azeroth V.
The problem is that this does not harm him at all, he can even stay alive without having to betray King Azeroth V.
Limo closed her eyes for a while before saying "I agree, but you must not reveal this letter to anyone. Then when you become a Baron later, then you must return all the evidence of me betraying, how!".
A smile appeared on Myro's face, he reached out his hand to shake hands with Limo "From today, we become partners".
Seeing Myro's hand stalling towards him, Limo smiled bitterly then shook hands with Myro "It seems that after today, then we can become very close associates".
...----------------...
After that the 4th prince again checked all the higher-ups again, with the cooperation of Myro, Ren and Limo then they could persuade the 4th prince to stop this examination first, what is most important now is to face the upcoming Cavalry Kingdom attack.
