Chapter 291

"I will, my king. Protecting him is my duty, and I will do so with the last drop of my blood", Kwofo promises.

"I know you will protect him son, but all I ask of you is not to protect him because he's your duty, but to protect him like a good senior brother does. Okay? ", Father smiled kindly at him.

" Yes, my king", he bows deeply before Father.

I smile inwardly at what transpired between him an father.

"What did you come here to relay to me about?", Father asked, all businesslike not a trace of the smile that was on his face not long ago, present.

" Two letters came in today", Kwofo gives me a look, " the are from head royal families of Makoha".

My heart leaped in joy at the news, that will only mean Reddy and Blondie have succeeded in persuading their fathers to allow the royal meeting.

I look up at Father, hoping beyond all reasonable hope he agrees to the terms of the meeting.

"Impossible", Father muttered aloud, "are you sure they came from the head royal families of Makoha?", he looks quizzically at Kwofo.

" Yes your highness, I was the one who received the letters", he lowly bows.

"What's the letter about?"He asked with am urgency I never knew father possessed, "we need to be prepared if if turns out to be one of threat", Father growled in anger.

" Don't conclude yet Father till you've read their letters, am sure it won't be as bad as we fear it will be".

Father looked at me in deep contemplation before nodding, " what you said is the truth, I will check those letters out before I conclude about anything".

I sigh in relieve.

That's more better than having him summon soldiers without first reading the content of the letter.

" They might have sent a letter of war, and the more time we waste the more ground the cover", Father looks torn between actually summoning his soldiers without reading the letter, or reading it without calling his soldiers to himself.

" That's the reason you need to go read it. If it's about war( I highly doubt that) we will have ample time for preparation seeing it haven't been long since they sent the letter".

"Okay, I will see you during dinner son", he pecks me on the head before leaving.

"i hope it's good news", I sighed, "I don't want any problem between us three".

A war can make an enemy of us three, especially when one of us loses a relative by the hands of the rival specie.

"You don't have to worry about that Buch, the letter bears exactly what the promised you it will bear", she sits beside me on the chair.

"How did you know since you said you never opened it?", I look at him suspiciously, " did you in anyway open it and lie about it?".

He might have done that for my sanity, but it's not a good thing to lie about that.
