Chapter 204: Suspiciously Convenient
Princess Alexis frowned at her big brother. "That sounds suspiciously like you’re moving us to a backwater holding, as far as possible from any chance of violent conflict."
The Prince smirked at her. "I’ve heard that it’s a wilderness territory, with plenty of wandering monster issues. I am certain that you won’t be too bored even if you are not caught in the middle of a civil war."
Alexis smiled at the thought. Living in the woods with a bunch of Paladins and hunting monsters for sport was a much better life than the Royal Palace with all its rules and oversight.
While the posting might be seen as a punishment by many, both Dominic and Princess Alexis knew that it was just a different kind of opportunity, and perfect for people who didn’t mind putting in the hard work to get things started.
Prince Alex sighed as he realized that they had both stopped paying attention to the conversation and had returned their attention to the book.
"We need to get ready. There is an evening social event, as we managed to come to a tentative agreement today.
We will also be sending you two off first thing in the morning, but without the Natural Sons, who are needed here to secure Albroles."
Princess Alexis frowned at him. "And without their Royal Commanders to guide them and keep them supplied with munitions, how are they to function if the city is actually attacked?"
The Second Prince smiled down at her. "That’s part of why I am remaining here. If possible, I will ask Advisor Dominic to make me one of those most lovely Mortar creation Magitech Orbs.
If not, the four that the Regiment has now will have to be enough."
