As soon as he relaxed and relaxed his tense muscles, he approached her until her lips touched her ears.
"Sorry, my wife, but I have to go back now. We'll continue where we left off after I get back." He whispered, suppressing the kiss in the vulnerable hole under his ear before he retreated and left the room and his beautiful wife in a daze.
His face was dark as he pouted at Samuel.
"You've reminded me to come pick you up when it's time Your Majesty." Samuel reasoned as they walked in front of the corridor, trying his best to fend off the aggravation he felt like a living being coming from his prince.
"Yes, Samuel. I told you to call. Don't break in!" Gavriel gasped for air, exasperated at the stupidity of his guards.
"Actually, Your Majesty .. I called you for a long time before I pushed the door open ..." Samuel reported with a frown, feeling a little irritated that his prince was so busy with his wife that he did not even notice it.
Gavriel paused for a moment, his frown on Samuel fading as he realized that he had not only forgotten about time and everything else, but had even become deaf as he kissed him.
Good sir .. his wife is really dangerous. He cleared his throat and walked back.
"These officials are too punctual. One or two of them should at least forget about the time and come a little late. Don't they all have their own wives?" the prince suddenly complained, causing Samuel to look at him in great disbelief. Were these words really spoken by his almighty prince? He could hardly trust his own ears if not for the fact that he was hearing it at this moment.
"Is ... do you really say that you want them to be late to this very urgent and important meeting?" Samuel asked, puzzled and still dumbfounded, but Gavriel had already entered the grand door leading to the castle throne hall.
"You're not going to join Zolan inside?" Luc, who was assigned to guard the entrance said and Samuel sighed, shaking his head as if to clear his mind before he finally entered the throne hall.
"In other words, no one believes that I am the real noble ... is that what you want to say, Duke?" Gavriel's voice dried up as he stared at the Duke of Dacria who gave him a report on their progress.
They had tried to secretly inform some trusted countries within the empire of the true existence of vampire nobles, in the hope that these countries would come to support the prince as well.
When the Duke could not say a word and simply lowered his head to apologize, Zolan spoke.
"Their doubt and disbelief is actually a pretty obvious result, Your Majesty." He said and everyone saw the long-haired man whose black eyes were filled with intelligence and wisdom.
"It has been more than two hundred years since the actual royal lineage was thought to have been annihilated. It should logically be impossible for a true noble to suddenly appear out of nowhere now. So, it's understandable that there's no way they're going to believe this unless they actually see you in person. The few vampires who saw you in the capital all started believing with just one look. Unfortunately, the vampires at the dance at the imperial palace and the ones we visited while we were there all turned out to be emperor dogs.
Fortunately, I'm sure many states in the northern and eastern parts of the empire will definitely accept you. Even if they were all supporting the current emperor, I believe they are not a broken dog like the state near the capital. They would have turned their backs on the emperor if they knew true nobles still existed until now. However, you have to show yourself to them. Once they see you with their own eyes, they will believe without question like how the Dacrian people received you. Words alone are useless at this point, because you already know that the vampires have long accepted that the true royal bloodline is long gone."
All the officials agreed.
"But it would be risky for His Majesty." Duke interrupted.
"Making the prince leave Dacria and sneak into another state is dangerous. Also, I believe the emperor has taken precautions and made his preparations about this. If I were him, I would do anything to stop him. The prince from entering another state."
"But ..." Samuel spoke this time.
"Your Majesty and his men are a force to be reckoned with as well. We can ensure His Majesty's safety. Well, actually, I'm sure His Majesty can even go in and out without our help. So that's not the problem here. The real problem here is-"
"He'll come and attack Dacria." Gavriel stopped as he lazily placed his chin on his knuckles.
"The guy's not an idiot. He won't let me take another status from him. So, he will definitely attack us while we still lack allies. I think he's ready to strike at any moment, and he's not just going after me... he's gonna smash this whole town to ashes and make it an example for every other state so even if I survive, no state will ever support me again."
Everyone felt a chill run down their backs hearing the prince's statement. But Gavriel smiled wickedly, a strange glimmer playing in his magnificent eyes.
"K-Your Majesty, it's not funny." One of the officials said in a frightened tone.
But the prince leaned his head against his chair, still smiling.
"Not .." she said and her smile finally faded.
"I just find it funny that we have no choice but to end up fighting against our own kind." He looked at them, his eyes were now completely changed.
"But don't be afraid, man, I'm here to protect this place." I told him that this was the safest place .. So no matter what, I would keep him safe ... or he would call me a liar ...
After a serious discussion and strategizing about the upcoming war, Gavriel will end the meeting when the Duke of Dacria raises a new topic.
"I believe this is an important matter that we must address immediately, Your Majesty."
"Are you saying that this other topic of yours is just as important as the upcoming war? Duke Henry?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone who ended up loosening their tensed shoulders after the simulation and bloody discussion, straightened their shoulders once more, as if bracing themselves for another big problem they had to deal with.
What kind of problem is as important as the war that looms over everyone's head?
Gavriel sat back down. Although his face remained relaxed, he looked at Duke curiously. He made sure to find every major problem they needed to overcome and he did not find anything as important as this coming war.
Did he or his men miss anything important? It was impossible ..Even if he missed it, his men, especially Zolan would not do it.
