Chapter 243 174. Fjord“s Shock and Denial.

Luke too sighed and immediately used a message rune to relay the information in the most compact way.

Plato immediately paled as he saw the message rune which was used for emergency transfer of messages, "What! They created a cure for Black Death and also created something called mana restoring pills? Argh, How is this possible? We too have been researching mana pills for a long time but didn’t get any results over the years. How is it possible for them to get results in such a short time. That cunning John says that all of this Rebellion is because of Hector, Bulls***. He was planning this for a long time. No way can he create and tame 2 cities in such a small time even with those weird weapons."

He thought as he heard Luke’s Report, ’It seems he long ago predicted the movements of the Royal family based on his actions. He seems very good at manipulating.’

His butler spoke, "Master, what about Winter city and Aurora city which Lord Luke spoke about? Isn’t that a matter of worry for us."

Plato sighed and spoke, "We need to wait for a detailed report. However, I am more worried about the political upheaval after his announcement that he has decided to give up Dolores which he occupied previously."

Plato spoke after thinking about Aurora City and Winter City, "As far as those cities are concerned, he will anyway need a lot of funding to develop the other parts which he has occupied. Unless he has occupied a Magic Metal mine, this endeavor won’t be worth it at least for now. No, no, there are also those Ports which can bring him money since Eastern port is blocked for them. Hmm... It seems he already considered the pros and cons. After Hector’s Blockade of Eastern Port City, the value of those cities increased because of their access to the sea. It seems he considered a lot of factors when they occupied those parts. Goddamnit, It seems he really moved because of the blockade on the port which was caused by Prince Hector."

The Demon capital of Kelgan too was in a commotion as they heard about the mana restoring pills and the existence for a cure of Black Death after getting a report from their Diplomat.

The Demon King Apollyon was currently enjoying his bath on volcanic magma, He had 2 red Wings and 2 small horns on his head as he wielded a Spear on his hand which seemed to be made from a snake. He had red eyes and Red Hair which made him look a bit handsome, suddenly one of his subordinates entered and reported him about the matter which took place at the Sky Kingdom.

The Demon King Apollyon looked at the report and immediately ordered his subordinate, He laughed as he read the report and spoke, "Send our greetings to King John of Sky Kingdom. We are recognizing them immediately. Prepare the best gifts for them. No matter what, you must secure a deal with them for a long term supply of those pills. These pills will be our biggest asset in countering Aelius and the Devils at North from now on. Yes, Our spies said that soon we will be having common borders, Isn’t it? Very well, we will be making a deal so that we won’t have any future confrontations. Send Strategist Arron for an official visit to the Sky Kingdom."

As the Subordinate left, Apollyon murmured, "This new King near our borders is quite Interesting. I wonder how would those Elders at Aelius will react after hearing the news about these pills. I am sure they would be hating their guts for trying something so foolish over some profit. Anyway, I have made a decision, We will be removing a part of our Army from the borders of Duke Friedreich as a show of Goodwill. As for as our Eastern Borders are concerned, let Aelius and Sky fend it off for themselves as we don’t have those ballistas to have an easy ride against those monsters. This time we will be aiming for their Ballistas and those mana restoring pills in negotiation in exchange for recognition of the Sky Kingdom and a trading relationship with us."

One of the Demon Generals saluted and took the order, "Yes, Milord. I will immediately relay the order and move back the army from the Borders of Duke Friedreich. I will also be personally visiting Duke Friedreich and other elders to remove our misunderstanding."

After the General Left, King Apollyon thought, ’This count has quite a character to have the Bluesea house backing them.’

Meanwhile at Laguna city,

Minister Jonas was sighing as he looked at the letter which described the conspiracy of Prince Hector.

He roared with frustration after reading the letter, "Damnit, why at this time? This will ruin all of our plans and create internal strife."

Soon his subordinate spoke, "Lord, one of these letters was found by another minister as well. It seems the spy is determined to relay his findings to Lord Fjord. What do we do?"

Jonas sighed after hearing his subordinate, "I guess, we have no choice now, do we? I am sure Duke Fjord will be more confused on how to act after this revelation. First, we will report this to him."

The subordinate thought without saying anything, ’Well, he doesn’t have the guts to rebel like a certain lord, does he? So, of course, he will be confused.’

Both of them knew the answers and hence remained silent on the current situation.

Inside the chambers at Laguna City’s Castle,

Duke Fjord was constantly creasing his brows as he read the report from Jonas who currently standing in his chambers.

He asked Jonas in a grave and hoarse tone, "How is this possible? How did you confirm this news?"

Jonas spoke cautiously, "This was personally confirmed by one of our Spies at General Endo’s Ship, Apparently, Endo is the uncle of Prince Hector and it seems he is privy to some news."

Fjord thought, ’Impossible, this is certainly impossible. This must be a conspiracy of that count. Yes, I can’t trust anyone this time around. How is it possible for me to be manipulated so easily by that count. We have already started this operation. We can’t back out after such big operations.’

Fjord shook his head and came to his own conclusion, "I think this might be a conspiracy of that Upstart to sow discord. As we know their Spies also known as Ghosts might have decoded our encryptions and hence the wave of these messages from the Seas.

Jonas sighed as he understood that Duke was unable to digest this information. He thought, ’It seems Duke is in complete denial after the previous continuous clashes with Count John and trying to reason out the cause of this message. Well, it will revealed sooner or later. Well, it’s good, However Lord Grim needs to be informed so that we remain cautious against Prince Hector in Future.’

He looked at another report but decided not to report it in case Fjord got angry, ’I wonder how would Lord react if he hears about the recent event which took place at the Sky Kingdom. I am sure he will be furious after hearing the news of mana restoring pills and the Longevity Pills.’
