Chapter 351: The Stupid Prince
–AN) Another chaptering coming in the next two hours!–
Everyone at my table turned and stared at the incoming knights before turning back and around and continuing our conversation. “Master, you need to eat more vegetables.”
“Grace, I eat plenty of vegetables!” I whined as she piled more and more on my plate. It was not that I hated them. It was just that it was not meat….
“You!” A yell came at our side as I turned my head to see the wanna be prince standing there, pointing at us in disbelief.
“You what!?” I yelled back. “We are trying to have a nice breakfast here, and you are yelling at us and surrounding us with your soldiers. Let me tell you this now. If you touch even a hair on any one of us, I will consider it an act of war and annex your entire kingdom. And let me warn you now I am not bluffing when I say I will annex this entire kingdom. You and your father can not do anything to me, no matter what you say. So take your men and screw off. I will only be in the kingdom for two more weeks, and that is it.”
“Humph! You have no choice but to come with us today! Your actions of stealing our kingdom’s talents is already an act of war!” The stupid prince replied.
“Oh? Heh….” I smiled as I stood up. And took a step toward Prince Ugly. “Let me ask you a question. I asked for some assistance on a project. This is all I did. I am offering nothing but room and board in return. But those masters and other craftsmen were willing to help me. How am I stealing anything? I did not offer them riches or fame. I only asked them for help, and they agreed to my request. Now tell me in which way is this an act of war?”
The well dressed prince stared at me with his mouth open and closing as if he was trying to figure out what to say. I sneered and turned around, and sat back down in my seat. “Tell your king I will be going to the castle later to talk with him. I want to see what he thinks about all of this. If I see one more knight trying to arrest me or stop me from sightseeing, I will see it as an act of war.”
“Brother, I suggest you do as she says. I have seen her easily take over many kingdoms without any effort, and our dwarven kingdom is no match for her alone, never mind those around her.” Thurul added in a friendly warning. I watched as the stupid prince waved his hand, calling his knights back as he turned and left.
When they were gone, peace fell over the inn once more as I sat back in my seat. “We need to deal with this sooner rather than later. I want to meet this father of yours, Thurul. No king would act this impulsively.”
“Mmm… I also want to know what is going on in that head of his.” Thurul let out a sigh.
“We will finish eating and head to the castle. I want to settle things with the royal family here before they do something stupid.” I was only doing this because it was Thurul’s family. If it was anyone else, I would not go this far, but I could see the pain in Thurul’s eyes when these things kept happening. He may be trying to hide it, but he can’t hide it from me.
We ate in silence for the rest of the meal before we got up and headed toward the castle. We walked through the streets without issue, although I did notice a few knights tailing behind us, but I figured the prince would send someone to tail us.
When we got to the castle that was carved out of the bedrock of the mountain, it looked quite imposing from the outside. The knights who were guarding the gate did not stop us and let us through, which meant they were definitely expecting us.
Once we passed the gates, a man in what looked to be more of a blue scholar’s robe stood in front of us and bowed his head. “Princess Cyrilia, this way, please, I will bring you to the throne room. The king is expecting you.” I nodded and allowed the scholarly dwarf to lead the way.
When we arrived at the throne room, the king was sitting on his throne with the queen next to him. Which I had to say, I think was my first time seeing a female dwarf. She looked quite young and did not look like a male dwarf. But now that I think about it, I probably had seen them and wrote them off as humans. Standing to the right of the king was the stupid prince. “Princess Cyrilia.”
“King of Dwarves. You should also be greeting Crown Princess Adel as well, should you not? I do believe I have said she was here as well.” I was quite annoyed that everyone kept looking over Adel. She was a true princess, after all. My words made the king’s brow twitch as he said: “Crown Princess Adel….”
“King of Dwarves,” Adel replied flatly with no emotion at all. She was probably angry about everything that had happened thus far.
The king snorted before asking: “You said you were coming to speak with me?”
“Yes. You owe me an explanation on why your stupid son keeps harassing me with knights. Surrounding me many times in the past two days. King of Dwarves are you trying to get your kingdom annexed?”
“Impudent!” The one to yell out was not the king or the prince but the queen herself. I turned and looked at her and said: “Sit and shut up!”
The queen’s mouth closed, and sat down without being able to control her own body. When the king saw this, he gripped his throne and stared daggers at me. “Control your queen,” I said flatly as I released the spell. The queen looked at me with fear in her eyes and did not dare say another word. “I will say this now. I did not come to this kingdom to start any feuds, but many times I have been harassed by your stupid son. Now explain to me. Why are you doing this?”
