Chapter 113: The meeting concluded.
1031 Words
After we make sure that Astel aren't being controlled by the king. We move on to a bigger picture or topic. Rather than staying in an idle talk mode... I think it's better for us to do it like that... Now, I definitely didn't think about it like that. But hey, the best answer always come in the form of Improvisation. That's what I believe in.
"By the way duke Jonathan. The king's name. May I ask what's your brother name is? You see, to know your enemy better, you need to at least not what his name is. Because it gives them a sense of restlessness when we meet in the battlefield and I know his name even though we didn't introduce ourselves to each other."
"Ah, Yes. The King's name is Kane. Kane Arsbury. That's the king name. My brother's name. Please remember it if you want to terror him."
"Oh don't you worry. I will. Thank you for telling me that..."
I reply with a smile of course. I'm really glad that Jonathan told me the king's name. Because it will be a lot easier to terror someone like that. I doubt that it will work wonders this time though. Because I assume that the Astel Homunculus will be snitching on us even without Kane looking through it.
It's just a common sense. Anyway... We move on to another topic that is as important as this topic. Which is the general war stuff...
"Jonathan. Can you tell me this as well? Where and When the war is going to broke out. You see, I don't fancy a war that is going to go anytime soon. I would prefer if the war is going to break out a little bit later."
"... Unfortunately Alfredo. I'm in no control over when the War is going to break out. Preferably a little bit later as well. Because I've yet to finish my preparation."
I quietly look at Astel after that particular information break out... His eyes are empty, yet he's smiling. For no apparent reason. Yo, who got you smiling like that? Us? Is it because our information?
Of course, The information that I give is all fakes... I'm ready even if the war break out now. That's how Ready I am. But of course, the reason why I give false information like that is to bait the King himself.
I know that he's listening to our conversation mid way through because Astel is being controlled at that time. So, I know full well that he's going to take advantage of our unready situation...
'I see what you're going for, Alfredo. And so far, it's working well. I don't even think that Jonathan Realize what's going on right now. He didn't know that we're here to fake the literal Heck out of Astel.'
'That's fine for now. If they didn't realize it, good. Because It's important that they didn't realize it at first.'
'So, I'm planning to do what we talk about soon, Alfredo. Give me the letter now.'
I think it's too fast for her to work on giving the letter. I want her to do it discreetly so that Astel wouldn't think anything about it... But... It's not like Astel know what's going on either. No one will realize what's going on.
So, I just believe in Mashura early call and then grab the letter out of my pocket and then give it to Mashura... Which Mashura just casually take and then put it on her pocket.
Jonathan and Melissa didn't even seem to worry or care about the letter. So, I assume that Kane wouldn't worry or care about it either. In their eyes, it's just a 'random' letter.
The duke continues to explain what his plan was. But I don't really care about that plan because Kane would be able to counter it all. Both Mashura and I just look at him seriously though. So that Kane wouldn't worry about us breaking through his cover by being Astel.
But Kane. I know what you did. And you didn't know what I do. You're going to go to the slump soon.... Your lifeless body, that is.
Eventually, the talk ended...
"Well Alfredo. It's nice talking to you. And Miss... It's nice talking to you too."
"Indeed. Thank you so much Jonathan. Let's meet again later shall we?"
"Yes. I will see you when the war break out."
Jonathan and Melissa grab their coat and hat and walk out of the room... Which during that time when they started walking out...
"Hey Astel. How are you today?"
We go through with the plan. I distract Astel so that he wouldn't see Mashura Movement. And it work... I can feel Mashura moving. And Astel didn't know what's going on. Since he's writing and hearing my ramble.
Mashura come back from the sneaky letter giving and then reported.
'I slip the Letter right on Melissa's bag. She should see it when she's on their carriage. Mission Accomplished.'
'Mission accomplished. Good work Mashura.'
Our mission, has been completed. The letter has been given so nothing should be worried about now. The letter just tell them that, The two of us are being spied on. I told the two of them to not worry about us and worry about themselves. Be aware of your surrounding and do not! Talk about this letter. If they did, I will consider the two of them as traitor and will be eliminating them as well.
Threat or a Warning is important so that they wouldn't accidentally mess up the plan. It's absolutely necessary for the succession of the mission.
Of course, I won't actually kill them. As I said, it's just a warning. I don't want them to fail my plan. But I can't afford to keep this a secret from them as well. Because I need them to be aware of the situation so that they won't die if Kane attack them early. Since I do see Kane is going to attack early.
As early as tomorrow, and as late as three days. That's the time span where Kane will attack. And my prediction is Absolute.
