Target

I was prepared for his retort and immediately answered. "No I don't. He'll try his best to kill me. Of course. That's a given, but I can escape cause I know things he doesn't and if I use my brain a bit more, I can make sure he doesn't live a peaceful life either, but that's not the issue now. The issue is counter me without seriously answering my questions. Then I might seriously consider giving up the throne. Then I can just run away somewhere and live. But what about you? Will you be able to kill your pride and live in some sewer like some rat?"

I could feel it. Prince was really angry with me. I knew he was serious for the throne. Because according to novel, he ended up doing a rebellion to claim a throne for himself.But experiencing it in reality is quite not good, But this time I was expecting him to react in some way.Which I couldn't handle but, to my surprise. He was calm....quite calm.Actually the which was scarier

I waited for a while but his reply never came.It was as if he gone so I had my best to get him over the topic and said

"Look for prince have nothing against you, if you want to survive answer my question. I know you're a political analysist and I really need your help this time for our survival, So I suggest you just think before you speak "

This time prince answered me seriously, As if the earlier banter was was just a dream "Well, let me think if you want a serious answer. Then I'll get it yeah, first. You ensured that our ally is on our side, then you struck a deal with that girl so she provides us with enough financial support and Um, then you found a new ally by reaching out to the barbarians thus, ensuring a constant military support."

I was impressed by Prince and complimented him,

"Impressive. So what is this all mean? What does my every move indicate"

"Well, I'm not quite sure. What do you want to hear from me? But from my point of view as I can see that you are, distributing our strengths. Unlike previously, where most of my strength came from Wellesley this time you have diversified it. More partners , so even if one falls apart, the other helps out helps out in one way or the other."

"You are such a genius, I didn't know you had it in you but yeah this was impressive. And that's what I'm doing.There's a saying don't keep all your eggs in one basket.They might break, so. I'm just distributing my eggs so that my enemy doesn't get wink about it and even if one basket breaks , I have the other ones to back me up"

I was complimenting Prince in every way possible to calm him down,

But his reaction with lukewarm, and he calmly said, "Okay, I serve the same thing. So now what's are we going to do"

I was faintly disappointed with his lack of enthusiasm but still continued "No, it's not my time, it's yours. I did everything to consolidate our strength new allies, who could support us through thick and thin. Now it's your time, what will you do to ensure we are surviving in this race for throne? "

"You want me to break our opponents wings while we make ours sturdy" He asked trying to understand my thoughts,

"Yes, to be precise. I want you to help me to do something? Which is devastating as well as acts an diversion as you know. We're not in palace these days. Your brother is not one to let us be. He's going to be something or the other to know where we are or what we are doing. So before he gets a wink about us doing some ugly business I want you to distract his attention. Whatever you say, I'll do but I want you to hlp m do something so he won't have time to put his efforts on us."

Prince thought for a few seconds before answering my question, "well if you want to do something big and distracting can then I suggest you target the administration department"

" Administrative department , but what can it even have"

I asked not particularly understanding his idea about using administrative department to our advantage when that was under first Prince's stronghold,

"A lot, Christopher You are new to this world, so let me tell you something interesting. In this world , there are many races including humans but among humans people are divided into two classes; Nobility and commoners and History serves as a proof that when there are two classes , there are bound to be disputes, and often one class ends up getting an upper hand and the other gets dominated. So here nobility has the upper hand and they tend to treat commoners as secondary class citizens. We don't accept anyone beneath us to enter the royal palace. Except those with ability like Wellesley. As you know she is a magician being able to use mana is something marvellous and only few among a thousand could do that So only the magical department and the knight department are eligible to recruit people from the commoner background and people with magical abilities are mostly from the commoner background, Magic users being rare so we tend to recruit everyone who has the ability to use it to keep it running and because of that The people from the magical department are more accepting. But it is not the case with other departments."
