Hearing that, Benjamin’s heart moved; with composure he contemplated the smile on the Prime Minister’s face.
"Are you saying that you have used everything I’ve done so that you could gain power for yourself, and there are no other influences behind you?" He calmly asked.
"If you wish to understand it this way, sir, then so be it." The Prime Minister answered matter-of-factly. "The General is an ambitious person. When the crown is within his grasp, even a person who is used to taking orders would change their mind under this sort of temptation. You can be rest assured on this."
"Should I believe you? Or, is this another lie you’re concocting to use me."
The Prime Minister continued smiling: "Believe it or not, you have your eyes, sir, how about you follow me to the Palace? The General has always wished to meet you, you could then use your own eyes to judge."
Benjamin was silent.
Another fictitious invitation.
