Chapter 315: Chapter 74: Contempt for Meat Eaters i
“Second brother, come closer.”
Once the eldest prince left, the Third Prince immediately set tasks for the Second Prince.
Such was the division of responsibilities among the three princes.
The eldest represented the Royal Family, overseeing all domestic and foreign affairs, especially the interactions with different clan nobilities;
The second was responsible for the military strength of the Royal Clan, defending the Royal Palace and various sacred sites;
The third, intelligent and smart, was the best successor to the throne. However, due to his physical defects, he could only stay behind the scenes, making decisions.
“What is it, just say it.”
The Second Prince voluntarily seat next to the Third Prince and leaned in to listen.
“You should secretly shift the ‘new generation’ of Fairies and station them where our father is asleep.”
After the establishment of the defense, cut off all internal and external contacts. Guard our father until he wakes up.
Regardless of what happens in the outside world, or if the Royal Court is destroyed, or even if the eldest brother and I personally plead for your help, do not pay attention.”
Preserve your vitality and peacefully wait for our father to wake up.”
The Third Prince, with a grave expression, slowly outlined his plan.
His tone was indifferent yet firm which revealed a determination to hold on till the very end without giving in.
“Third brother, you mean…”
Although hot-headed, the Second Prince wasn’t politically naive; he certainly understood the reasons behind the Third Prince’s arrangements.
On one hand, he didn’t feel optimistic about the direction of the war.
On the other hand, he was worried about a mole in the Royal Clan, And that their hard-earned assets may be taken away by other families, Even more, he worried that the “demons” from the Different World who conspired with some powerful nobles would attack our sleeping father. As for not paying attention even when the eldest prince and the third prince personally pleaded for help, it was actually easy to understand.
There were countless ways to impersonate others.
One could even plunder memories, resulting in perfect impersonation.
Once the Second Prince falls for the imposter’s plea, commands the troops to move, and leaves the sleeping king to be attacked,
The consequences were unimaginable.
Besides, it was also a preparation to throw everything into a desperate plight, readying for a do-or-die situation with the Royal Court.
Prepared to die generously!
“As long as you understand.”
The Third Prince stopped the Second Prince in the middle of his words and sighed worriedly, “Second brother, I have to tell you, I have no confidence in our future. The enemy is too strong, far beyond what we can handle. It’s like…” Swallowing the words he originally wanted to say, the Third Prince came up with a more vivid analogy, sighing:
“Dealing with us is like our tactics in curtailing the piggy beasts; both sides are not even on the same level.
If it weren’t for the help of World Will, our father said that he wouldn’t have been able to return. We probably would’ve been killed or captured by now.
The enemies are strong enough to roll over the Royal Court directly.
They didn’t, probably out of some consideration.
Our resistance is destined to be in vain.”
The Second Prince knew all this too well.
Since the end of the first battle, when the two elite armies were decimated, he had a foreboding feeling.
Under the “compulsion” of the World Will, our father had to personally command the main army of 100,000 forces to fight hastily, which led to another disastrous defeat, losing nearly 160,000 troops.
He himself was badly injured, and narrowly escaped.
The Second Prince’s foreboding feeling became even worse.
He kept clamoring for a tough stance and refusal to submit.
The truth was he was scared. If even he wasn’t being tough anymore, and wanted to submit, no one in the whole clan, group, or race would stay tough or resist anymore.
Considering this, the Second Prince sighed deeply, stood up, and strode out of the palace.
Sighing won’t solve any problems.
Since the most flexible-minded Third Brother has already made up his mind to die,
And assigned him with a task that only he can fulfill,
Then he will leave the affairs of the Royal Court to the eldest and the Third Prince to handle.
He will swear to defend the last hope of this world, the king of the Rainforest Fairy clan, the Supreme King of all fairy clans in the Fairy World!
Hoping that the Supreme King can chase out those terrifying “demons” from the Different World.
To restore the utopian order of the Fairy World!
The nobles kept a close watch on the movement of the Royal Palace.
At this stage, any move the Royal Palace made would tug at their hearts.
The news of the eldest prince visiting the Mansion of the High Mountain Fairy
Duke with much fanfare quickly spread throughout the Royal Court.
It instantly became the hot topic and trending point of discussion.
All the fairies were waiting for the outcome of this visit.
The lower class civilians, regardless of which clan’s fairy they were, were all hoping for a good result as long as they cared about the world’s security and the continuity of the race.
The nobles were mulling over how to face all the possible changes in the situation.
Whether to go to war, to negotiate, how to fight, how to negotiate, all these needed careful considerations.
How to preserve the family’s power and status, or even to further advance it, were most of the nobles’ concerns.
As for defending the world, well…
Isn’t that the Royal Clan’s duty?
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
The Royal Clan, especially the Royal Family dominated the world for nearly a thousand years, they’ve been exploiting people for nearly a thousand years, and enjoying the luxuries for nearly a thousand years. It’s about time for them to stand up and make sacrifices.
After conversing for an “hour”.
The High Mountain Fairy Duke personally saw off the eldest prince outside the mansion.
The two fairies walked out hand in hand, which indeed surprised many of the Fairy Nobles.
The High Mountain Fairy Duke’s attitude towards the “invasion” was the most negative.
After the Supreme King fell into sleep, he even publicly declared that the “visitors” from the Different World came with the intent of cooperation. It was the Supreme King who started this doomed war for his own benefit.
