Chapter 189: Conversation

Chapter 189: Conversation

"Did they say about their reasons for staying?" The Headmaster asked, his tone was full of helplessness.

The teachers looked at the Headmaster and knew that the Headmaster had to face many nobles because of the students. It was not easy for the Headmaster to remain steadfast when these nobles were clamoring here and there.

After all, it was not that easy to deal with the nobles.

"They didn’t say, Headmaster."

*sigh*

The Headmaster sighed and waved his hand. "Forget it, you may leave."

"Yes."

Looking at the students outside, the Headmaster shook his head and focused his attention on his work. At this moment, he was seriously considering the possibility of retirement.

Because he knew very well that it would be difficult for him to stay in this position if the students were to come knocking on his door again and again with their problems. Hopefully, these students who have graduated would not bring their problems back to the academy.

He was tired, alright!

While the Headmaster was complaining, Adela didn’t know anything about it. She was walking around the Capital Academy’s grounds and finally saw someone she knew, Prince Charles.

"Prince Charles, what are you doing?" Adela asked curiously.

Prince Charles has just been reprimanded by his mother and was thinking to figure out a way to solve his mother’s anger. But it seemed that his mother would not forgive him so easily and would force him to study.

When Prince Charles thought about the fact that he would be forced to study in the future, Prince Charles felt that his future was really bleak.

He didn’t want to study!

Thankfully, the negotiation would take days and his mother would not have time to look for him. Prince Charles was too lazy to look for a place outside the Capital Academy and shamelessly stayed here.

The Headmaster also didn’t say anything anyway.

The Headmaster: "..."

If he knew what Prince Charles was thinking, he would definitely file a complaint. He didn’t dare to say anything to Prince Charles because of this prince’s status, alright!

The Headmaster really wanted to file injustice.

But thankfully, he didn’t know and didn’t have to suffer from this matter.

Today, Prince Charles was walking around and kicking the stones in the garden. He had nothing else to do anyway.

When he heard someone calling him, Prince Charles was stunned.

Turning his head, he saw his cousin standing there looking in his direction with confusion.

"Ah, I’m just bored," Prince Charles replied. He looked at Adela up and down and felt that she looked a bit different. There was no cheerful smile on Adela’s face today. Instead, she looked troubled.

"Is there any problem, Adela?" Prince Charles asked.

"Ah?" Adela was indeed a bit absent minded. She didn’t think that Prince Charles could notice when he usually would not notice anything. Looking at the young man’s earnest expression, Adela hesitated.

In the end, she replied, "I’m worried about the upcoming war."

"Will there be a war?" Prince Charles was stunned.

The only war he knew was the war between the Red Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom. Then again, Prince Charles was not exactly an attentive person who would pay attention to the world’s situation.

He didn’t notice that there was another war about to break out.

"Um." Adela nodded.

"The Red Kingdom?" Prince Charles asked tentatively. His mother didn’t tell him anything about the current situation of the war between the Red Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom, so his thoughts naturally landed on his own kingdom.

Adela blinked her eyes and then shook her head. "No. It’s not the Red Kingdom but the Yellow Kingdom."

She was not sure that she should spread this matter to others. But on another thought, Prince Charles’ mother is Queen Rachel and she was also present in that negotiation. She might even tell Prince Charles about this matter later on.

With that in thought, Adela had no qualms anymore about telling Prince Charles about this war.

"Ah?" Prince Charles was stunned.

His mother would not tell him anything about the negotiation. And it was not like Prince Charles himself wanted to know. He was not very interested in the various matters that his mother often said or involved herself in.

For Prince Charles, he just wanted to live a live without the need to worry about anything nor having to do anything.

He just wanted to have fun.

But it was difficult with the request his mother asked him to do and various other things.

"I’m worried," Adela said with her lips pursed.

"This...." Prince Charles frowned. "I’ll ask my mother about this. Don’t worry, I’m sure that the Yellow Kingdom will be fine!"

"Um." Adela nodded.

To be honest, she was worried because she didn’t know how much damage the Yellow Kingdom would suffer in the war if there were to be one.

What if it reached the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City?

Then she might want to cry.

Because Adela knew that her life would never be the same anymore.

"Can you tell me more?"

"Yes!"

As Adela and Prince Charles was talking, another student was leaning against the tree not far from them, listening in to their conversation.

Seriously, these two people should have known that this kind of discussion could only be done in safe location instead of outside like this.

But this was beneficial for him.

...

Duke Sun’s Territory

After Queen Ella and Prime Minister Jake reached an agreement, they naturally delivered the news to the people in questions.

Both Duke Sun and the one from the Sand Kingdom were already impatient.

And when they found out that it would be a war, they realized that this wouldn’t be easy. Thankfully, it was not a total war of the two kingdoms but instead the war between the two noble’s territory.

But...

"Why did it have to be my territory?" Duke Sun sighed deeply when he received the letter from Queen Ella. His territory only got better recently due to the trades with Aurora and the White Dukedom.

But now, it was going to turn for the worst.
