"The Wrezatia Kingdom? But I thought the previous King had a deal with the previous King of the Wrezatia? What does this Crown Prince want?" Leander asks suddenly.

That is the same question we want to ask. Why would the Crown Prince of the Wrezatia Kingdom associate himself with the Saiven and the Yesian Kingdom? When he definitely knows that both Kingdoms are the allies of the Vrawyth Kingdom.

​​

Prince Fraser looks at me. "Have you talk to Prince Wischard Csille?"

I shake my head at him as a response. "I didn't talk much with them. since yesterday, I still didn't feel good. So instead of accompanying them, I decided to stay on the pastry shop nearby the residence."

Prince Fraser nods his head. "But do you have any idea why does Prince Wischard is with the other Royalties?"

I tried to think what Prince Joachim told me, but I couldn't remember Prince Joachim telling me the reason. I shake my head and look at Prince Fraser. "I don't know. All I know is Prince Joachim is showing off the Saiven Kingdom to Prince Wischard. He acts like he is close with Prince Wischard."

Prince Fraser frowns even more. "Does Prince Wischard said something to you?"

I shake my head at him. "He didn't tell me something directly, but he is the one who reminds Prince Joachim and the other royalties that I don't feel okay. He is the reason why I get away from Prince Joachim."

Rufus slams the table again. "That Prince Joachim! He definitely knew the unique identity of the Crown Prince of the Wrezatia Kingdom. And even those two Royalties from the Saiven Kingdom have the guts to associate themselves with that Crown Prince? What are they trying to do?"

I hold Rufus' hands that are clenching on the table. "Rufus, calm yourself down. We still don't know the reason why they are all together. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. Why don't we all calm down and talk about this in a calm manner?"

Rufus sighs and grits his teeth. "I wanted to be calm, Purplany, but how can I calm down with what is happening? We already have problems with that Strzalka. We also need to deal with who's behind the threat to Sir Farren, and we still have a competition we need to compete in. But now we need to deal with this Wrezatia too? How can I calm down?"

"But if you will not calm down, do you think you can think rationally? Extreme anger can cause distorted reasoning. Do you want to further worsen our situation? I know we are all in a difficult situation, but getting frustrated wouldn't help. It will only hinder us from thinking comprehensively."

All of them sigh. I don't understand why all of this is happening. It's like my own novel is starting to feel like it's not my own. What is happening? Even I, the writer, don't understand what is happening now.

"What Csille said is right. We cannot let our emotions get through us. Also, we are still not sure about the purpose of that meeting. So, it's better to calm down first and think of a way how to resolve this in a peaceful manner," Prince Fraser said.

Princess Paislee, who's been quiet, suddenly speaks. "But how will we deal with this? Should we tell her highness, the Queen, about this? Or are we the ones who will deal with this?"

We all got silent with Princess Paislee's question. The issue with the Strzalka definitely needs an immediate response. But if we let the issue with Wrezatia, it will definitely put Vrawyth in a difficult situation.

However, the Queens already have problems with the Competition and with the Strzalka added. I don't think they can handle all of this.

I look at Prince Fraser. He looks like he is in a dilemma. He knows that if he takes this responsibility, then he needs to make sure that he can fully fix this. Because if he cannot, it can make the Saiven and Yesian Kingdom be an ally of the enemy.

Even if the Vrawyth Kingdom is the strongest among all the Kingdoms. It cannot withstand the wrath of the six Kingdoms.

I sigh and put my hand on his hand that is still holding my other hand. He then looks at me. I smile at him and caress the back of his hand. "What are you thinking? Care to share with us? We are here with you, Fraser. We will fix this together."

Prince Fraser looks at the rest and smiles. He then squeezed my hand. "Yes, we will fix this."

My eyes immediately widen when I remember something. "Wait, I remember the Prince Reeve of the Saiven Kingdom ask me how's our stay here, and he actually told me when will we be free so he can visit us. Wouldn't that be a good time for us to ask him?"

Prince Fraser nods his head. "That is a good way but will the Crown Prince of the Saiven Kingdom will tell us the truth?"

Rufus snaps his fingers. "That's easy. We can threaten the Crown Prince that we would take away the protection that the Vrawyth Kingdom give to them if he won't tell us the truth."

Leander scoff at Rufus's remarks. "Prince Rufus, do you know that the Aeslaerean can also give that protection you are saying. If you threaten the Crown Prince, do you think the Saiven Kingdom will continue their alliance with the Vrawyth Kingdom?"

Rufus is about to refute, but Prince Fraser cuts him off. "We cannot bear to lose an alley," Prince Fraser sigh. "Because of the Saiven and the Yesian Kingdom, we had peace for years, but if we break our alliances with one of them and they decided to join an alliance with the Aeslaerean. I'm afraid the Vrawyth need to say goodbye to this world."

I nod my head at Prince Fraser's remarks. We cannot definitely lose any ally. The Vrawyth may be strong, but it's not enough to fight against six Kingdoms. If the six Kingdoms join forces and decided to wage war against us. I'm afraid Vrawyth will be erased from the history of this world forever.

This. Why does all of this happening? The war against Kingdoms is supposed to happen ten years from now, but why does it feel like it is happening now?

The Virtouse! I really need to talk to them now. If this continues, I'm afraid this world will collapse. If this world collapse... I don't even want to think about it.

"But what are we going to do, know? If we cannot threaten them, how are we going to know the answer we want to know?" Rufus asks in a frustrated manner.

I understand him, though. After we travel for this competition, we had been facing problems there and here. It's like the problems are following where ever we go.

We all got silent because we have no idea how are we going to deal with this. We cannot casually talk to the Saiven Royalties about what happened yesterday.

This is really tricky. Why does it feel like there is someone targeting the Vrawyth Kingdom behind our backs? First the Strzalka and now the Wrezatia? These two problems will definitely put Vrawyth at risk.

If we don't solve one of them, then solving the other will be a waste since the result of each of the problems is putting in danger the Vrawyth Kingdom.

Leander suddenly snaps his fingers. "I think I have an idea."

All of us look at Leander. Hoping he comes up with an idea that will really help the Vrawyth Kingdom.

"Remember the pill of the Illorian City?"

The Pill? Is it the one the Illorians gave to the henchman? The pill that will make someone said everything he knows?

Rufus' eyes immediately widen. "Yeah, how can we forget about that? The pill that will make anyone spill any information he knows."

I frown. Trying to pretend that I didn't know anything about the pill. Up until now, they still didn't know that I witnessed everything that happened.

That pill is really magical. It's also the reason why I want to talk to the Virtouse. I need to know where does this pill came from.

"The Pill? What Pill are you all talking about? Why am I the only one who doesn't know about it?" I pout. Pretending to be sulky for being left behind.

Leander looks at Prince Fraser. It's as if asking for permission if he can tell me about the pill. Prince Fraser nods his head at Leander. Leander sigh and look at me. "That pill was used by the Illorians to make the henchman spill all the information he knows about the Strzalka. The pill has a parasitic insect in it. Once a person ingests it. The insect will live in your body. If a person lies, that insect will know it, and it would start to eat the host organs until the host didn't tell the truth. But if the host didn't lie, it will start to eat the host's life force."

I fake a gasp with Leander's explanation. Although I already know what the pill is and what it does. I still need to pretend that I am shocked. I cannot let them know I was in the woods at that time.

"Wait, you said the insect would eat the host's life force? Can we do that to the Prince of the Saiven Kingdom? Will, it put us more in trouble?" I ask. Although the pill is definitely a good choice to make someone spill some information, but the effects of the pill are not suitable for the Crown Prince of a Kingdom.

If this pill won't work, then how can we make Prince Reeve spill all the information he knows?

Leander smile. "It would be a dilemma for us only if the Great Ruler didn't told us that this pill has an antidote. The antidote will kill the insect, and once it was ingested, the host will forget what happened."

My eyes immediately widen. Is it the reason why all the Illorians have that pill inside of them? How powerful that pill can be? And they even let us, Vrawyth people, to see that? What will happen if one of us got interested in the pill? But the thing is, can anyone bear to take anything from the Illorian City?

"Then this is a perfect way to make Prince Reeve spill all the information he knows," I beamed. If we solve our problem with the Wrezatia kingdom, then all we need to think about is the Strzalka.

Princess Paislee shakes her head. "It's not as simple as that Lady Csille. The problem is, will the Great Ruler gave us a pill and the antidote?"

Rufus smirk. "Have you forgotten Sir Farren? Purplany and Prince Fraser are both Ruler Laird's Godchildren? So, will it be a problem? I'm sure the Great Ruler will be more than happy to give them one or two."

Prince Fraser squeezes my hand suddenly. I look at him and see him frowning at Rufus. What did Rufus do to make Prince Fraser looks at him like that?

"Rufus, one more Purplany, and I will throw you out the library," Prince Fraser said in a warning voice.

Rufus immediately shut his mouth. This guy. He's three years older than Prince Fraser, but he acts like he is the younger.

I shake my head at them. even Princess Paislee is shaking her head. "Prince Rufus, have you also forgotten what the Great Ruler said? That pill is the property of the Illorian City, and only Illorians have the right to have that pill. Do you think the Great Ruler will give Lady Csille or Prince Fraser a pill? Knowing that the both of them are people of the Vrawyth Kingdom?"

Rufus sigh. "But that's our only hope. If we want to deal about the issue with the Wrezatia Kingdom, then we definitely need that pill."

Prince Fraser sigh. "We will definitely do everything we can to take even just one pill and one antidote." Prince Fraser looks at me. "Csille, send a letter to Great Ruler and tell us we will visit him tomorrow evening. Use the Vrawyth Kingdom's messenger bird. Also, don't get too specific with the letter."

I nod my head and remember what Prince Fraser said. Prince Fraser looks at everyone and sighs. "Csille and Sir Farren, please be prepared for tomorrow. And as for when and how we will inform Prince Reeve, it will depend on what will happen tomorrow evening."

I just hope everything will be okay tomorrow. For peace. For the Vrawyth Kingdom.
