Chapter 361: Conspiracies
Time passed, and Nikolai went along with the motions as he ruled his kingdom with his wife Mineah. Of course, that also meant constant bouts of babymaking as both he and his queen seemed insatiable with their love and lust for one another. It was a simple life. Well, as simple as one could be as both king and queen of their own kingdom.
"And with that, another day seems to have come and gone without much incident," Nikolai muttered aloud as he adjourned the court.
"You almost sound bored, Lai," Mineah chuckled beside him as she sat beside him. "Isn’t it good that there’s nothing going on?"
"It is, but knowing that we still have enemies out there, it wouldn’t be good for us to let our guards down," he pointed out.
It was simply the truth of the matter. Nothing would ever be this easy, especially whenever it came to running a kingdom. There was still the issue with his brother Raul as well. They had lost consistent contact with him some time ago, and while his brother reassured him that all was well, the lapse in consistency was starting to tip him off that something was wrong. It was also why he had tasked Abel to look into it, just to make sure that things were still going according to plan in regards to this random cult that popped up.
"I suppose so," Mineah shrugged as she leaned into her seat. "There’s some talk about a plague as well. It’s currently contained in the upper provinces, but I have a feeling that we haven’t seen the end of that thing."
"I see," Nikolai worriedly hummed. "Do we have any reports on the matter?"
Mineah narrowed her eyes in thought as she replied, "I’ve seen some of them. Nothing much in terms of substance though." She let out a troubled sigh as she added, "I’ve been compiling them for a few days now, and while it’s still developing, again, I think this might need a personal touch."
"You’re planning to go out to see it?" he asked.
