Chapter 696 Diplomatic mission

I didn't need to ask to know why he thought this.

The biggest problem with this was the wyvern itself.

That was because the wyvern was what had ended the war.

That meant that the wyverns had left a deep impression on all of the other countries.

If wyverns were to suddenly show up in their borders, there was no doubt that they would immediately think that war was being declared on them. They would think that our country would be using the wyverns to invade them.

But that was also because of who I was.

If I didn't have my current status, then I would be able to fly across the different borders without a problem since I would be traveling alone. A single wyvern passing by wouldn't be considered a threat and would be considered a natural thing.

It was just that if a pack were to appear, they would assume that it was an intentional invasion.

After all, only our nation was able to control wyverns like this.

So if wyverns were to suddenly appear in their territory, they would immediately think that our nation was involved in this matter.

So that was what the fourth prince meant by starting a war.

Yes, traveling by wyvern would be equal to starting a war, but...

It was also the only way that I could travel to make it in time.

This event was one with a time limit, so I had to arrive in that country before a certain amount of time passed. The signs that were already there meant that the current time limit was a month and a half, so I couldn't wait three months to get there by horse carriage.

With the wyverns, it would only take me a week to reach that country.

I looked at the fourth prince and said, "I'm sure that you can think of some way to make it work. This is something that needs to happen, so I'll trust in your abilities as my future prime minister."'

Though it sounded nice, I was simply throwing all my problems to the fourth prince and letting him think of a solution.

The fourth prince naturally knew that as well, so there was a bitter smile that appeared on his face when he heard this.

He looked at me with that bitter smile, but he didn't reject me.

I could see it in his eyes that his thoughts were forming, so he did have some idea of what to do.

The king just remained silent as he waited to see what we would come up with.

This was his way of showing his support for us as his future successors.

After a long silence, the fourth prince finally said with a sigh, "We'll turn this into a diplomatic mission."

The king and I both raised a brow to look at the fourth prince as we didn't understand what he meant by this, but we didn't say anything as we waited for him to explain.

The fourth prince didn't say anything at first as it seemed that he was still gathering his thoughts.

After a while, he said, "We still need to show the other countries our power after the war, while also starting to restore the relationship that we once had with them. After all, we can't just completely ignore them since these four countries surround our own. We have no choice but to maintain our relationship with them…so we need to send a diplomatic group to each country. While at the same time, we need to show our might with our wyverns."

As he said this, his eyes slowly lit up as he looked at me, "You would be the perfect fit for this role of diplomat."

I was surprised since I never thought that I would be sent as a diplomat.

After all, there was my moniker that was there.

I was known as a butcher after all the killing that I had done, so I thought that I would be the one that would be the least welcome in these countries.

But the fourth prince was saying something completely different.

The fourth prince gave an excited nod as he said, "As long as you fly with your wyverns to these countries and impose your might on them, they will have no choice but to accept the current relationship."

With a bitter smile on my face, I realized that he was basically using me as a threat.

But there was also something that I had to ask, "Are you sure that we should be doing this? Won't this breed further hatred between our countries if we suppress them like this?"

With a faint smile, the fourth prince said, "You would think so, but that isn't the case. After all, without a bit of fear, there isn't any respect. So unless we give them something to fear, they will never put down their pride and negotiate with us properly. It's all about the carrot and stick."

I slowly gave a nod even though I didn't really agree with this, but the fourth prince had never been wrong about these kinds of things before.

Since he was saying that this was the way we should do this, then I wouldn't doubt him.

But there was still a problem that had to be addressed.

When the fourth prince calmed down, he said, "The only problem with this is that it will take some time before you will be able to reach that dukedom. You will have to pay your respects to all of the different countries beforehand, so it will take some time."

I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this, but I didn't reject it right away.

Instead, I asked, "How long will it take?"

The fourth prince slowly said, "A month, that is the minimum that I can bring your schedule down to. Any shorter and we risk offending the different countries."

I didn't answer right away as I fell into deep thought.

In my head, the timing for the event quickly ran.

A month…that would be tight, but it was definitely doable.

So I slowly gave a nod as I said, "Alright, that works."

The fourth prince let out a sigh of relief before saying, "Alright, let's start planning this."

The king just watched with a smile on his face as he thought to himself…

"The future of the kingdom is secure."
