Chapter 121

Grey then immediately removed his gaze from him and left the spot so he couldn’t be spotted .

Fen thought that someone was looking at him but he immediately heard Duke Blackwolf as he didn’t bother anymore .

Blackwolf asked Fen, "Do you have any news about that upstart and his slave?"

Fen gave him one of the reports he got from his men, "From our reports that slave hasn’t left North-frontier town . He is currently taking care of handling his own departments . It looks like that Count hasn’t taken a bait . He is at least not sending his important men to assassinate Sylvan . "

Blackwolf rubbed his chin as he spoke, "Knowing his personality, I don’t think he will take this humiliation lying down . We can still expect something . "

Fen thought and spoke based on the summary of his reports, "I guess, he is smart enough to know about his limitations and hence he didn’t take a bait this time around by not sending his important men . From the rumors, I know that this count is quite smart as he has created a lot of new things including those papers . He even started his own business from scratch with the soap machines being his first product . However, if his master is trying something then I can’t guess but I don’t think anything big will happen . "

Duke sighed as he spoke, "Well, lets see how this goes . I guess it will be a dull day today if he isn’t taking any bait . "

Alistair spoke to Prince Hector, "It seems he hasn’t taken our bait this time around . However, this is in our favor as well because this would mean that Count is going to take this on the face while we openly use his Soap machines . This soap is also better compared to the previous soaps that we used and hence I think we can make a lot of profits and gain funds for our war using these soaps . And because of our Blockade, the Rose Soaps have less penetration in the markets overseas and hence we can exploit this market . This celebration going on without a hassle is much better for us as this would not force us to act while that upstart’s prestige falls because he backed down . "

Prince Hector nodded as he heard Alistair and spoke, "I guess this is good as well . Come lets go to the ceremony . Bring Sylvan as well . Duke Blackwolf has already arrived, we need to greet our guests . And our plan is still on in case he sends someone else instead of his trusted men . "

Alistair saluted and left for making preparations, "As ordered, Milord . "

Hector Greeted duke Blackwolf, "Greetings to Duke Blackwolf, It’s very good seeing you after such a long time as you were able to take out some time out of your busy schedule . As you might already know from Minister Justin, This guy is Master Sylvan . he is the one who made it possible for us to have these soaps . "

Duke smiled as he saluted Prince Hector as a basic courtesy, "It’s good seeing you again your majesty . I decided to come today as I had some free time and you also invited me previously so I thought it would be very rude about rejecting your invitation again . Additionally, we could do our deals as well so it was better visiting you .

Duke observed the new soaps carefully as he commented, "These new soaps are quite good compared to our previous ones . I guess combing both the techniques was worth it . "

Duke then greeted Sylvan, "Greetings to Master Sylvan, I see you are the one . "

Duke continued to ask, "I see that Alistair is not present today, where is he? He is usually in the radius of max 6m away from you your majesty . Is there some matter?"

Prince Hector showed a mysterious smile as he spoke, "I guess there is, He will be right back after making some arrangements . "

Everyone here understood the meaning behind Prince Hector’s words . While no one raised any questions .
