Episode 117 bait (3)
The king, who was slightly dazed, quickly asked back.
“Yes, you are the temporary chief of staff?”
“Then do you think I’m going through all this trouble just to deliver a letter in the middle of the night? “I didn’t come as a letter carrier, but as an information carrier for the Leon Revolutionary Army.”
“Are you a child like yourself?”
“Well, as you can see, I look a little young, but… … .”
“It’s not that I look young, I’m just young!”
“Let’s skip over the little things. “A person as powerful as a king is so clueless.”
“… … .”
In all my sixty-plus years, have I ever been so blatantly criticized by a kid the size of a chestnut?
Anger can only be expressed through rational judgment.
Lois’ voice flowed to the dazed king.
“Anyway, I may look young, but I have other abilities.”
At the same time, Lois pointed to the surroundings with her chin.
This is the spatial barrier that you have spread out.
Lois smiled slightly as she looked at the King who nodded as if he had a general understanding.
‘I didn’t plan on going out like this… … .’
Originally, Lois was planning to have Fabro, Greg, and Paige at the forefront and be a helper in the background.
Of course, he thinks he is a helper, but others think he is a shadowy figure.
Anyway, that was the original plan… … .
‘I think it would take too long to just give advice like this behind the scenes.’
Lois planned to deal with this incident quickly and go straight across the continent for the summer.
and.
‘I guess I should try to make the situation more favorable to me by helping.’
This is to prepare for an emergency that may occur 250 years from now.
Lois smiled softly.
The King looked at Lois with a suspicious look.
“No matter how much it is, to a child like you… … .”
“Don’t worry about that. Because I take care of myself. That’s not important. “We don’t have much time, so let’s get to the point now.”
“Tell me… … .”
“There is something you need to do for the King.”
“… … ?”
“Please announce the marriage of Paige and Favreau.”
“Nonsense! If I allow them to get married… … .”
The king jumped up and down.
Then Lois interrupted him and came in.
“Revans will go crazy.”
“Even though I know that now!”
“of course. “Because that’s exactly what I want.”
“you… … .”
Lois responded in a calm tone to the look in her eyes that wanted an explanation.
“You shouldn’t give Revans time. No, more precisely, we need to make him move forward with his plan a little faster.”
“that is… What are you saying?”
“Anyway, it’s a foregone conclusion that he will revolt.”
“… … .”
“For now, everything is out of control for Grandfather the King and the Leon Revolutionary Army. No, can you say this is inferior? With the power Revans has, he can easily swallow up the palace. “Am I wrong?”
“… “Please continue.”
“All conditions point to us never being able to defeat Revans, so we have to create variables.”
“How can you say that?”
“A place and time we can predict. This is to induce Revans to revolt. After all, it’s easier to deal with someone who runs at you from the front rather than someone who sneaks up from behind with a knife, right?”
“her… … .”
The king sighed softly.
But even for a moment.
A feeling of skepticism appeared in the king’s eyes.
“Even if we do that, we won’t be able to reverse this inferiority all at once. “There is no way to predict how much power that Revans guy has accumulated.”
“Even if Revans attacks with an army of 1 million people, all we have to do is catch Revans, the leader, and the leadership.”
“Would Revans and his leaders be captured easily?”
“Well, it’s enough because it’s just a treason… … .”
Lois’s eyes lit up as she spoke slightly.
“I can catch it if you let me do one thing.”
The King’s eyes widened slightly at the sound of a voice full of confidence.
“What is that?”
“Is it okay if this palace collapses a little?”
“… … .”
“Of course, even if you ask me to reimburse you for the building cost later, I can’t. “Let’s make sure of that.”
The King’s mouth slowly opened as he looked at Lois with a straight face.
Lois, facing this, smiled brightly.
“If you will only allow it, I will change the dark future of the French royal family.”

The king felt a deep chill upon seeing the child’s beautiful smile.
He was worried.
‘… ‘Should we entrust the future of this country to this child?’
For some reason… … .
An ominous feeling creeped up my back that I might be bringing an ogre into the house to drive out the goblins.

A week has passed.
Meanwhile, several rumors were circulating at Berniam Palace.
The first of these was the story of Princess Page.
[The princess who was kicked out has returned!]
[I heard you said you weren’t kicked out, but ran away from home?]
[They say he ran away for love and came back this time.]
[They said she came after giving birth to a child outside.]
What happened between Page and Favreau in the hall where the new members gathered a week ago was passed around by word of mouth.
As a result, it was later exaggerated to say that Page had already given birth to a child outside the palace, or that her leaving the palace was an escape from love.
And the rumors that went along with it.
[His Majesty the King lay down!]
The second rumor was that the King was shocked by the news of Princess Page’s announcement and went into hiding.
[but… When her daughter returned after 20 years, she came with a mountain thief calling him her father, so she was understandably shocked.]
[But what on earth does the person who will become the sire do?]
[What is the sire! That too must be permitted by His Majesty!]
[I guess Geumseul is good. Every night very… … .]
There has been a lot of speculation at Birnia Palace over the past week about Page, Favreau, and the King.
The king went into seclusion, and Page and Favreau were roasting sesame seeds at Birnia Palace, pretending to be friendly fiancés, so the rumors grew stronger and stronger.
Rumors of them even went beyond the palace walls.
And another rumor followed.
[I heard a ghost appears in the palace every night!]
[It’s a white, small ghost.]
[There are already three people who have seen it!]
Rumors about a ghost haunting the royal palace.
There were a few people who actually saw it, but this soon died down.
Because it is a royal palace with a long history, there are often rumors of ghosts being seen.
Also, the rumors about Page, Fabreau, and the King were so active that they were buried.
In this way, the rumors that had been constantly floating around among palace officials for the past week died down.
As the king broke his seclusion and came out.
* * *
At a meeting of ministers convened after a long time, Prime Minister Revans once again raised his voice.
“What did you say just now, Your Highness?”
A question that seems to be questioning the king.
But no one there found fault with it.
They also felt the same way as Revans.
In response to the surprised reactions of his ministers, the King spoke in as calm a tone as possible.
“We are planning to proceed with the wedding of Princess Page and Prince Fabro. Prime Minister, please prepare this without a hitch.”
“… … .”
Revanth’s face became scary as he realized that what he had heard a moment ago was correct.
‘… ‘What are you thinking?’
Revans stared at him as if trying to see through the king’s intentions.
The King did not lose sight of this and made eye contact.
Until a few days ago, he had been struggling with the problem of the page, but his eyes were so clear.
Revans, who exchanged glances like that for a moment, first relaxed his stern face and bowed his head.
“I will follow your orders.”
When Revans agreed so simply, the ministers who were watching were agitated.
But Revanth’s words were not over.
“So, when exactly are you expecting?”
At Revance’s question, a look crossed the king’s eyes.
What the little temporary chief of staff said a few days ago came to his mind.
[You have to take the appropriate amount of time. So, why not dive for a few days?]
[…] diving?]
[I told you to stay in your room.]
[Why?]
[‘I’m not doing anything! There is a need to openly show that ‘I have no thoughts!’ That way, the other side will also let down their guard. In the meantime, I will also prepare.]
[preparation? What preparation?]
[I will set a trap. For now, just know that]
[…] … ?]
[Anyway, the stay shouldn’t be too long. Those over there will consider it suspicious… Just about a week is enough. and!]
[and?]
[As soon as you leave the shelter, immediately announce that you will allow marriage. Then, the other side will also look at the liver and see a reaction.]
[how?]
[I won’t refuse. They would say so.]
[Revans? No way? Would that persistent bastard quietly watch Paige get married?]
[yes. We will be watching. I’ve already tried to get rid of Grandfather King, so what have I to be afraid of? Now that things have come to this, they are probably going to advance their plans and make a big deal out of it.]
[…] Then what should I do?]
[If the prime minister says he understands, set a date that very day. Instead of letting the King catch you, you can just ask Revans.]
The king was appalled.
‘It was true!’
Even though Greg had given me the temporary chief of staff role, I was skeptical.
What on earth were they thinking, entrusting the position of chief of staff to a child so young, even temporarily?
However, the little chief of staff’s abilities were proven through this.
Perfectly predicting Revanth’s actions.
The King straightened his countenance and asked.
“When do you think is the right time, Prime Minister?”
Perhaps the king’s words were unexpected, and a look crossed Revans’ eyes.
He seemed to think for a moment before answering.
“What are we going to do by dragging it on for a long time?” Since you have already made your decision, proceed with the ceremony as quickly as possible.”
“hmm… … .”
“What will it be like in two weeks?”
“her… … .”
The king sighs deeply.
“… “Why are you doing this?”
“no.”
The King clicked his tongue inwardly.
This too was exactly what the young chief of staff had said.
[If you ask the date like that, he will probably set a date within the near future. It won’t take more than two weeks at most, right?]
[At best? Only 2 weeks?]
[Because you were anxious to quickly rip off the head of someone you didn’t want to see even for a moment longer. Those two weeks would be the minimum amount of time for him to prepare for this and that.]
[…] … ?!]
Even without going into detail, I could fully understand who the owner of the head Revans wanted to cut off was.
The King, who had managed to calm his boiling stomach, nodded.
“It’s okay. But wouldn’t two weeks be a tight time to prepare?”
“Given the princess’s situation, I think it would be better to hold the ceremony quietly rather than sending invitations to other countries as VIPs.
Not only did she return after 20 years, but she also became pregnant before marriage and married a commoner.
Revanth’s opinion was valid, as it was sufficiently reprehensible to those who valued face.
“If you send an invitation to another kingdom, two weeks will not be enough, but as I said before, if you prepare for the wedding quietly, it will be enough.”
“So prepare.”
“All right. Then I’ll just… “I have a lot to prepare.”
Even though it was during a meeting with priests, Revans got up first.
Even the king did not bother to stop this.
After Revans left, the king waved his hand towards the observing servants.
“You, too, go out and have a look.”
“then… … .”
As soon as the king’s permission was given, the ministers stood up from their seats.
A large group of over 30 people left in a hurry, and the King remained alone in the spacious hall.
He closed his eyes and remembered his last conversation with Lois.
[I will follow your words. but… Promise me one thing.]
[What?]
[If things go wrong… As for the page… Please help that child get out of this kingdom safely.]
[Well, nothing can go wrong, but I will do it.]
[okay… Thank you.]
After waking up from his thoughts, he stared at the empty hall with hard eyes and muttered.
“please… “Keep your promise.”
