Chapter 1286: All on our own
The people from the Democratic Union didn't waste a single second.
Was this because of their military background that they were this frank?
But it wasn't as if it was a bad thing for them to be this frank since it helped move things forward.
Since they didn't want to waste any time, I didn't want to waste any time either.
"Let's go and talk in the castle." I said before turning around to head back to the castle.
The two from the Democratic Union seemed like they wanted to talk here and leave as soon as they were done, but they followed me in the end.
Once we were in the castle, I asked, "What is it that you want to discuss with us?"
First Lieutenant Jostin revealed a serious look before saying, "I've heard that your majesty was recently involved in a coup."
I was surprised since I didn't think that they would be this direct, but I said with a shrug, "I don't know what you mean, I haven't directly participated in any coup. All I've done is help some people that had been suppressed by a tyrant the entire time."@@novelbin@@
I didn't deny it, but I didn't say that I was directly involved in it.
To a certain extent, I was avoiding responsibility, but I was also taking responsibility.
After all, if I were to directly take responsibility...
For now, I wanted to see how these two from the Democratic Union would react to what I said.
First Lieutenant Jostin just looked at me with the same serious look on his face for a bit before suddenly saying, "We're not blaming you for what you've done. Getting rid of a tyrant is something that the four empires should have taken care of, but we have been busy recently because of the war with the demons. I hope you understand that."
I was already expecting this since this was something that we thought would happen.
Only I was a bit caught off guard by how easy they agreed with me.
I thought that at the very least, they would say something about how we had gone against the peace accords through a loophole. I thought that they would try to threaten us a bit because...
Instead, they were direct with what they wanted to say.
"There is something else that we wanted to talk to your majesty about. We have reports that there were magic rifles that appeared when capturing the tyrant king of the Poppin Kingdom. I hope that you will be able to explain this to us."
As soon as First Lieutenant Jostin said this, he immediately narrowed his eyes to look at me with a cold look.
It was the same for Second Lieutenant Riza.
The two of them both looked at me as if they were trying to put pressure on me.
But I just calmly looked back at them since this was what was expected as well.
I was just a bit caught off guard with how direct they were being with their words. "Is there a problem with that?"
When they heard the calm and casual way that I responded, the two of them knitted their brows even more. They looked at me as if they were considering what they wanted to do, but in the end...
"You should be aware that the magic rifles and all magic weapons have a special place in our Democratic Union. It is not something that is divulged that easily, so we take any leaks very seriously."
After a pause, he said in a colder voice, "If it was found that someone was engaging in the smuggling of our magic weapons..."
Both First Lieutenant Jostin and Second Lieutenant Riza looked like they were prepared to act.
But still, I looked at them with a calm look on my face and said, "Why do you think that the magic weapons belong to you?"
They both knitted their brows once more when they heard this before First Lieutenant Jostin said, "Like I said previously, magic weapon technology is something that we take very seriously..."
"And that means that no one else is able to create magic weapons?"
As soon as I cut him off, there was a look of disdain that appeared in his eyes.
With the way that I said all of this, it was impossible that he didn't understand what I was implying. But the thing that I was implying was just too unfeasible that he didn't seem like he wanted to even entertain the thought.
It seemed like he was going to use different tactics soon.
With the look that was in his eyes, it really seemed like he was planning on threatening me or the Kite Kingdom with the pressure from the Democratic Union.
But before he could do that, I asked, "Is it really that unfeasible? What if I were to show you proof of this?"
At this, both First Lieutenant Jostin and Second Lieutenant Riza knitted their brows once
more.
The two of them didn't say anything at first as they slowly looked at each other, as if they were secretly communicating with their eyes.
I could see the looks of doubt that were on their faces, but...
After a moment of silence, First Lieutenant Jostin turned back to me and said with a nod, "If your majesty can prove this, then there's nothing that we have to say."
It seemed that he was planning on going along with this just to see what I was going to show him.
I knew that he would agree since there was nothing to lose for him to go along with this.
Or that was what he thought since he thought that it was impossible for us to develop magic weapons on our own.
It was just too bad that he was completely wrong about this.
I wasn't someone that could be judged by the same standards.
I was someone that had knowledge that wasn't from this world.
I was someone that could turn the impossible into possible.
What do you think?
