THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 63: SUSPICION
"Master, the king gave you 3 cities directly?", asked Ren suspiciously, even Feld who was on the side already had a strange face now.
Myro's mother who heard this couldn't help but ask "Ren, is there a problem? Wouldn't the more cities Myro got the better? However Baron Aras used to always try to get 1 more city, but the Kingdom of Azeroth always refused it because for a Baron, having 1 city was more than enough. Therefore, isn't it a good thing to be able to have 3 cities at once when it's just a Baron?".
Ren slightly smiled bitterly, he opened his folding fan before saying "If Mr. Myro has a background or a big supporter like Duke upwards then having 3 cities is not at all strange, you could even say it was a good thing. But this is different, Mr. Myro who only helped the 4th prince without any background and support was given 3 cities directly, anyone knows that there is something suspicious here. But I'm not fit to explain this, I think Feld knows this more clearly than I do".
Be it Myro, Falka and Mother Myro immediately stared at Feld waiting for an explanation from her.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Feld could only slightly shake his head "I'm not too sure about the reason for King Azeroth V because I haven't been here for so long, but I thought of some possibilities that these 3 cities were too poor to be of almost no use to the Kingdom of Azeroth, there are many bandits and criminals in these 3 cities that make other nobles do not dare to manage the territory there, then the last possibility is that this region is a border region. As you know that the territory of the Cavalry Kingdom used to border the territory of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, the Kingdom of Azeroth as well as the Fog Forest".
"The border with the Kingdom of Azeroth is not bad anymore because the Kingdom of Cavalry has become the territory of the Kingdom of Azeroth, while the Fog Forest is only a forest that has strange illusory abilities for anyone who moves towards the forest, therefore the city bordering the Fog Forest does not have any risk. So of all the border regions then the territory bordering the Orc-Goblin Kingdom has the greatest risk, but it is not the worst possibility for the lord".
"Not the worst possibility?", asked Myro curiously "Then what is the worst possibility of the king giving me these 3 cities?".
Feld had a very gloomy face now "The worst possibility is that the 3 cities given to the lord had these 3 problems which were poor cities without any resources, he said, having a lot of criminals and bandits around that made merchants not dare to come there, after that it borders the Orc-Goblin Kingdom directly which makes these 3 cities always attacked. This is the worst possibility".
Myro was already sweating coldly now, if it was true as Feld said then King Azeroth V did not give Myro a territory at all but he gave Myro a bomb.
Myro took a breath to suppress his shock before asking again "Why did King Azeroth V do this to me? Does he have a certain grudge because I made the 4th prince who should have died according to the king's plan make it back alive?".
Ren who had not spoken for a long time ago finally spoke up again "Master, for King Azeroth V then you are a 2-edged sword. You did show great ability because it could help the 4th prince who could not possibly win to successfully seize the Cavalry Kingdom, but on the other hand the king also became afraid of the master. The master had talent but the king was so old that he almost died, if the prince who would become the next king did not have enough talent to control the lord then King Azeroth V was worried that the lord would rebel and seize power of the Cavalry Kingdom in the future".
"So he gave the lord a title and a vast territory so that the lord would not get angry for already helping the 4th prince but was not rewarded. Instead, King Azeroth V gave the lord a very troubled territory to have the development of the lord restrained, this was done so that the lord would never develop into stronger than the Azeroth Royal family. I must admit that King Azeroth V is still very cunning, he limits the power of the master without having to make the master hurt because he did not get any reward for his hard work, he said, it is not unusual for King Azeroth V to be called a wise king".
Myro's eyes now became clear, who would have thought that King Azeroth V had already thought of a step so far, King Azeroth V was indeed a real king. It was not strange that he could lead an empire that became the strongest kingdom in the Northern Continent, if he did not possess this ability then there was no way he could lead the Azeroth Kingdom without suffering a setback.
Everyone was now staring at Myro, Falka who was behind Myro said confusedly "Master, what should we do now? If it was against the enemy, even tens of thousands though then Falka could still give an idea to master, but the matter of managing a city like this then Falka could not do anything".
Myro closed his eyes for a while before saying "Falka, let the 500 Mongol Cavalry to get ready, we will move towards the new city I have now. But before that, I had someone I had to meet first before leaving for the city that had just been given to me. Ren, you're coming with me, while the others are getting ready to leave too!".
"Understand it!", replied everyone firmly.
After that Myro walked with Ren towards the capital of the Cavalry Province again.
Ren followed Myro without asking anything, even when Myro went to the poorest area of this capital then Ren still did not say anything.
When I got to a house that didn't look different from other houses, Myro said to Ren "Because you're a group strategist then I don't think it's okay for you to know this, we will now meet the group that gathered the information for us!".
Then Myro began to knock on the door of the house in front of him.
