Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 104 – SUDDEN BETRAYAL OF CABALCUS
In front of a round table, the three young men of different rank and nationality who each carried the fate of their people sat in a circular position to discuss the response to the provocative actions of the Vlonhard Empire.
“As long as there is a peaceful path, why don't we take it? If we are consumed by imperial provocation then we attack one of their soldiers at the border, then that will soon be a reason for them as a justification to attack our kingdom.”
“Do you want to constantly be underestimated by those selfless savages and end up as cowards?!”
“This is not about dignity, but strategy. It would be best if we act if the preparations have been thoroughly ripe!”
Tius Star Meglovia, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Meglovia, staunchly refused aggressive action, instead Ludwig Star Cabalcus, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Cabalcus, the center of all the silver-haired and gold-eyed races, he wanted immediate retaliatory action against imperial provocations.
There is also Rowen de Ignitia, the second prince of the Kingdom of Ignitia, who until then had not been active arguments like the two representatives of other kingdoms. Different from the other two royal representatives, he looked like a coward, very different from the attitude that the representatives of the great kingdoms should have displayed. His body trembled just by seeing the fierce debate between the two candidates for the leader of the other great kingdom.
In the end, the status quo remained in place for a while. However, it appears that Crown Prince Ludwig has lost his temper and threatens Crown Prince Tius that the Kingdom of Cabalcus will only move itself to follow up the imperial provocation without regard to the Kingdom of Meglovia which still chooses to be passive.
“Yang Mulia.” Swein who though could not speak during the meeting, but was able to observe the entire course of the meeting, inevitably worried about Tius who seemed to have been very excited maintaining his calm expression.
“I know. If we don't show up with another card, we'll only be carried away by the current Kingdom of Cabalcus.”
“So, what will you do, Your Majesty?”
“Hmm.” Crown Prince Tius tilted his head while holding the tip of his lips with his right index finger, appearing to be thinking.
“How about we welcome Prince Rowen de Ignitia for a moment with a tea dish.” That was the decision that the crown prince of the Kingdom of Meglovia finally made after a long thought.
In one room, Rowen was no longer able to withstand the prolonged stress he had to endure during the diplomatic meeting of the three kingdoms.
“Why should I be sent by Father to this meeting? I can't take it anymore. Anyway I want to go home soon!”
However, Rowen soon imagines that what King Star Ignitia's Algebra would do if he humiliated the name of his kingdom by escaping on such an important mission.
“Ah, I will definitely be killed by Ayahanda. It was much worse.”
Because he thought the burden of his mind was too much to handle, Rowen also felt his head would explode. Rowen then positioned himself in a prostrate position on a sofa where he submerged his head deeply and his buttocks milling, not showing the elegance of a royal representative.
In the position of Rowen's butt looked up at the front of the door, Tius who failed to notice it, entered the room without having the door leaf that was only separated from the outside with a thin curtain only.
Of course, Rowen's ass was the first thing Tius saw when he entered the room.
“Sorry, Your Highness Prince Rowen. Could take a moment to talk.” Of course, even though Tius was uncomfortable with the strange situation he thought he was in, he hid his uncomfortable feelings and kept his calm authority.
Prince Rowen soon discovered that Crown Prince Tius had been in his room when he was in a humiliating position. He became embarrassed to death and immediately stood back to defend his dignity even though it might have been too late.
“Ehem, my cousin Tius apparently. Don't be so formal if there's only the two of us talking.”
“No, no. It cannot be like that His Highness Prince Rowen at the time we are in a position to represent our respective kingdoms.” Tius replied with a business smile plastered on his face to the cousin of his father's lineage.
Rowen's expression immediately twisted looking embarrassed as her invitation was rejected outright by Tius. He only immediately invited Tius in to sit on the sofa. Receiving Rowen's kindness, Tius immediately entered accompanied by his loyal bodyguard, Swein fou Lambarg.
“Your Highness Prince Rowen, actually.”.
Tius seemed to be expending all sorts of his skills to influence Rowen to agree to his opinion about not being provoked by that imperial provocation. In Rowen's heart, Rowen was from the beginning about to do this since that was the order of the father.
In other words, his father advised that he should remain silent during the meeting and let everything be taken care of by this crown prince before him.
But nevertheless, the, the crown prince, who was very trusted in his skill by his father, now spoke like that before him after apparently being unable to also convince the Kingdom of Cabalcus with his extraordinary speaking skill. Rowen de Ignitia is facing the greatest confusion she has ever felt in her entire life.
“I will definitely support you His Highness Crown Prince Tius, but I also cannot be in a position to speak blatantly, so it is still you who should play an active role. You know right, if I did it blatantly, my people would be mad at me as if I were ignoring the death of our beloved monk?”
Rowen finally used her cowardice to hide behind Tius alone.
“Here you guys are apparently the cowardly garbage.”
In the midst of serious talks between the two cousins and representatives of their respective kingdoms, suddenly someone again came to Rowen's rest room while talking to the two honorable figures with inappropriate words.
After they looked directly at the figure who spoke, how shocked they were, it was the crown prince of the Cabalcus Kingdom himself, Ludwig Star Cabalcus.
“Actually I don't want to use this way. I want both kingdoms to destroy themselves. But not much more time was given by Rahib Robell, so die for the unification of the continent!”
Both Tius and Rowen seemed confused about the sudden intent of Crown Prince Ludwig. However, they were soon able to understand when dozens, no, hundreds of living armor monsters filled the room.
“You betrayed us ya apparently, you little Ludwig bastard!” Prince Rowen shouted furiously.
“Your Highness and also you, His Highness Prince Rowen, please immediately escape from this place, while me and the other soldiers are holding their attacks here. After all, you two have no fighting talent.”
Tius nodded his head at Swein who was intending to repel the monsters' attacks for the sake of both of them. Tius said, “Never think of dying in a place like this, Swein. Quickly solve the problem here then follow us.”
“According to His Majesty's order.” Swein smiled with satisfaction. But of course from the beginning, he never meant it.
Looking at the number of monsters summoned, Swein already knew that there was little chance of him surviving.
“Prince Rowen, let's go.”
“Is it true the bodyguards will be fine?”
“There is no point also we non-combat are here. We will only be a barrier to the guards.”
Tius and Rowen jump out of the window to escape the place followed by about half of his bodyguards where Swein banishes the crown prince Ludwig the bastard and the monsters he summoned.
There were some soldiers of the Kingdom of Cabalcus apparently who managed to timely dispel the escape of the two crown princes and princes of the two kingdoms so that the guards who followed them had to be sacrificed some more to avoid it. As a result, fewer and fewer bodyguards were able to escort the two young men to escape.
But unexpectedly, there had been a sharpshooter who had predicted their escape route. It was only natural since they were in another kingdom that they did not know the terrain to escape well. Then the sharpshooter shot and hit Tius' left leg so that Tius fell to the ground.
“Cousin's sister!”
“Just run into the forest, Prince!”
In her panic state, Rowen's mind was blank. He could no longer think rationally and reflexively followed Tius' orders by escaping into the forest with some of his guards.
Tius was left alone, leaving only six bodyguards belonging to the Meglovia Kingdom with wounded legs.
