Chapter 765: Swift But Abrupt Response
"It is indeed deplorable and vile. And this was why Princess Seraphina, who is also against it, had offered a proposal that will be beneficial for us," Arabella continued.
Just as she did with Ferdinand, she explained the proposal she had received in exchange for the location of Prudencians in Crux.
"They are willing to be integrated as part of Valeria? This almost seems too good to be true. What if it’s a trap?" one of the ministers asked.
"Yes, they are willing. I have also thought this might be a trap so I had asked one of His Majesty’s magicians if the first two locations they provided are indeed true. And it is. Moreover, even if it is indeed the bait to a trap, I believe we can outsmart them. I believe we have the ability to reclaim our people before they get hurt," Arabella responded.
"Yes, of course. We can take the bait but we will not allow them to succeed," Ferdinand agreed.
"But why would they go this far? They are betraying their own blood," one of the ministers added.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures. Princess Seraphina and Prince Benjamin could no longer keep watching their people suffer so they resolved to betray their own blood for the good of their nation. Majority of their people are suffering due to the current system in Crux. But with our aid, they could immediately turn the tides which they had repeatedly failed to change in the past. The anti-slavery faction will become more powerful as Prince Sebastian becomes the ruler and follow Valeria’s laws," Arabella elaborated.
"And what of the current King of Crux?" another asked.
"They would have to take responsibility for letting the war happen," Arabella had also asked this question to Seraphina.
