Chapter 148: The Unexpected
However, as the Queen of the Kingdom of Kerrigan, Sarah Kerrigan would not avoid what she must face. Steadying herself, she asked, “So, Teacher, you didn’t come here just to see me, did you?”
Morgan was pleased with her composure. After all, she was his student, and her performance brought him a sense of pride.
“Of course not. While I did want to see Your Majesty, I also have a proposal for cooperation to discuss.”
The Queen furrowed her brow. “And, Teacher, in what capacity are you proposing this cooperation? As Morgan, or as a representative of the one behind you?”
Morgan smiled faintly. “Your Majesty sees clearly. I am here as a representative of my God.”
“Then please, speak plainly. I’m curious—what sort of cooperation could a legendary god propose to a mere mortal like me?”
“After my rebirth, I learned that my fall was no accident. Moreover, it pushed the two nations to the brink of war. Therefore, I petitioned my God to aid the Kingdom of Kerrigan in annexing the Kingdom of Merrican and establishing a unified Ratfolk empire.”
Queen Kerrigan hadn’t anticipated such an ambitious proposal. While unifying the Ratfolk had been the dream of her and her ancestors, the scale of the offer was almost overwhelming—too good to be true.
She didn’t doubt Morgan’s capabilities. The demonstration outside had been proof enough. If even the most secure location in her kingdom could be infiltrated so thoroughly, other places might as well have no defenses at all.
