TWELVE RING SYSTEM
034 - LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON TRADERS' ASSOCIATIONS

The day changed, Roma, Milan and others drew up their plans in order to fight the merchant association.

Rome did this to help the kingdom. Moreover, everything that happened was very similar to what had happened to his family long ago.

Rome did not want the same event to happen to the kingdom led by the King of Genoa.

The Genoese king, who felt that fighting the merchant association in the city centre was imperative, asked Rome to take him along.

The king of Genoa did not want to be considered as someone who is not good at protecting his people.

“Roma, take me if you want to meet the leader of that trade association. You can take me whenever and wherever it is needed.

At the very least, you are the one who has helped me in slaughtering the merchant associations that exist in this city. Everything that happened because I involved you. So, whenever you want to go see them, don't forget to take me and tell me,” said the King of Genoa.

Roma are silent. He knew very well that his involvement had its origin in the request of the King of Genoa.

However, one other reason was that he did not want the fate of his family to happen to the people and kings of Genoa.

 He will try very hard to break that chain. He doesn't want any more victims than his family.

Milan who saw Rome was silent when the King of Genoa asked him to speak also nudged his body.

“Roma, the king is talking to you. What are you thinking so you don't listen to it?” ask Milan.

Rome immediately awoke from her daydream and asked again what the king of Genoa had said.

“Sorry Your Majesty, I did not hear your remarks. Can you repeat it?” ask Roma.

The Genoese king smiled kindly. He knew that the condition of the young man who was in front of him was currently having a lot of thoughts. The king of Genoa repeated his words.

“I said, whenever you want to go to the Imperial capital and meet with the leader of the merchant association, do not forget to invite me,” the king of Genoa repeated his words.

Rome shakes. He disagreed with the king's request.

“No Your Majesty. Better, you're in the palace alone. Me, Milan, and Leo are going there. Never leave this palace,” firmly Roma.

The king of Genoa initially rejected Rome's suggestion. He wanted to help her and didn't want to sit on his hands.

“Do not like that, Roma. After all, all these strange events and problems happened because of my fault. I'm the one who got you involved in this.

I shouldn't have asked you to destroy the merchant association here, but because of my request, you did that and got into trouble. So, let me come and help you,” pinta King of Genoa again.

Rome shakes again. He refused the king's request. This is all due to considerations that do seem to have to be carefully thought out.

“Your Majesty, do not be rash in making a decision. Please imagine what will happen in the palace and to the people, if you insist on joining.

Our enemy this time is very strong. They are not random people or just any followers. Our enemy today is arguably the accomplice of the emperor.

I don't want people to be victims of this. So, listen and please follow what I say. Stay in the palace and guard the people from enemy threats.” As Rome said.

“If I'm not allowed to come with you, I'll look very stupid and have no effort. What do I do to help you? I don't want to just stand by and watch you guys who are fighting against that merchant association. Do you need an army?” ask the King of Genoa.

Rome thought again. He can't do it alone this time. Right now, his enemy was more and more powerful than before. It's true, he needs an army. Rome also obeyed the king.

“Alright, Your Grace. You're correct. I need an army to fight them. But for now, it is not necessary. You just need to stay in the kingdom and gather a lot of troops.

We don't know how strong our opponent is. I heard, they are very strong and very hard to beat. That is why, we need a lot of troops to strengthen the defense and fight them,” Roma said.

“Roma is right, Your Majesty. We don't need a lot of troops at the moment. We'll be there in three. Me, Rome, and this cat.” Milan held Leo tightly.

The King of Genoa let out a long sigh and threw it away violently. He was eager to help Roma and his friends, but still the boy said he did not need help. The king of Genoa resigned and agreed with the words of Rome.

“Alright, if you currently do not need troops and assistance, it is okay. I will also remain in the palace and strengthen the army as you say, Rome. Please let me know immediately if you need help.

I don't want you guys being attacked by that trade association all of a sudden without any preparation.” The king of Genoa gave the two men advice.

“Sure, Your Grace. I'll send you a message right away if you need your help. Tomorrow, me, Milan, and Leo plan to go to the city and find information. Only information. You just need to strengthen the defense and increase the troops. I'm afraid, if suddenly they attack your kingdom.”

“Yes, of course I will follow your advice,” said the King of Genoa.

***

The expected day arrived. Rome with Milan and Leo, her cat, set off for the city. They resigned to the king of Genoa to carry out the mission of eradicating the trade association.

“Your highness, we go first. Please, keep your promise to stay in the palace and strengthen the troops,” Roma said before leaving.

He was afraid that when he left, something bad happened. That is why, many times the Romans reminded the king of Genoa.

“That's for sure, Rome. Take care of yourself when you are in town. Don't let it, you're hurt. I will help you anytime, if needed.”

Rome is smiling. The three of them left the Genoese court to go to the city and find out information about the trade association led by Ravenna de Ville.

On the way, Milan asked if Roma already had plans to fight their enemies or not.

“Roma, do you already have a mature plan to fight Ravenna's army? I'm a little worried,” said Milan honestly.

“Not yet. No plans at all. We'll think about it after we get to town. Come on, speed up your way. We will soon reach the portal that will take us to the city.” Rome left Milan and her cat, Leo.

Indeed, at this time Rome has no plan at all, even he did not think of the plan he would do later.

Maybe he will just look for information first, then take care of everything.

After all, he did not know how strong the merchant association would be, if he was rash, there would be many things that would happen.

He needs a plan and also strong enough information to attack later, so he does not go the wrong way.
