Chapter 136: Gobe Country's Secret Advisors Part 3
"What do you need to speak with us about?" enquired the same advisor that had previously spoken to him, who seemed to be the leader and the strongest out of the present advisors.
"Sir, there has been an intrusion into the royal palace" stated the king as the rest of the advisors were shocked to hear that, especially with the amount of security there was.
"It was a lone young female that had peerless beauty. She had an old man with her who wasn't a cultivator and with her beauty and voice alone, was able to control my own troops into guarding her and leading her to where I was" continued the king, shocked the advisors even more.
"However she didn't have any malicious intentions and didn't attack us. When I tell you her beauty was peerless, any man or woman would be mesmerised by her face, including me and the rest of my family who were eating together. She made a request to the royal family and before excepting or declining, I wanted to confirm something" said the king who was very respectful in the way he spoke in front of the advisors that were all curious to hear what else had happened.
"She said that she was the daughter of the Graham Family Head and that she was from the Ethien Country. Is that something that you have heard of or something that changes things?" asked the king.
Upon hearing the name of the family that the girl was from and the country that she came from, all of the advisors were shocked and worried, which was clearly shown from their faces.
They all wore the same completely black robes and had their own symbol that was similar to the symbol of the royal family, but was completely white, contrasting with their black attire.
"Are you sure she said the Graham Family from the Ethien Country?" asked one of the advisors.
"Yes, I am sure sir" answered the king.
All of them were unsure how to act and from their faces, the king could clearly see that they were scared and worried.
"If she is the daughter of the Graham Family Head, then it would make sense. Her mother was a peerless beauty, and her father is a monster that can destroy our entire country with a single attack" uttered one of the advisors who was shaken by the image of becoming enemies with the Graham Family Head.
"Yes, we must immediately give her the best treatment and anything she wants. Even if she wanted to take the throne, there would be nothing that we could do to stop her" said another one of the advisors.
The king was unsure how they would react to what he told them, but he would never have thought that they would become so scared and shaken. If they were scared even though they were much stronger and more knowledgeable than him, then he must have no hope.
The Ethien Country was one of the biggest countries on the Athain Continent that the Gobe Country was on. In the eyes of the Ethien Country, the Gobe Country was merely a small town that could easily be crushed and was very weak and undeveloped in terms of cultivation.
"Calm down advisors. This is not how us advisors act" instructed the man that seemed to be the leader of the advisors as he turned back to the king who was shaken by how they reacted and what they said.
"What was her request of the royal family?" asked the leader of the present advisors.
"If her request is one that we can do, not only can we please her and make sure that her family doesn't destroy us, but we can also gain their favour" commented one of the advisors.
"If they help us, we can wipe out all the organisations that are threatening our power, especially Akegria Academy, and maybe they can ally their family with our country" added another.
What they said made sense, as long as they could complete Elizabeth's request, they would not only be able to save themselves from any troubles, but it would also allow them to solve all of their issues through the help of their family.
"Her request was merely to protect and shelter her and also send a message to the Graham Family so that one of their members can come and collect her" informed them the king.
Her request implied that there were people after her and that she wasn't safe, but at the same time, it wasn't one that required the royal family to do much.
All they had to do was increase the security and treat Elizabeth as if she was part of the royal family, which was something that wouldn't require much effort and was something that they needed to do anyway, since she was able to get into the royal palace without much trouble.
"Then it is decided. You will treat Elizabeth as if she was your queen and her life is worth more than your own and that of the entire royal family. If she is in danger, even if we have to reveal ourselves, you must alert us so we can protect her. As long as we do as she requests, the rewards that we will receive from her family afterwards will be worth it" decided the leader of the advisors.
None of the advisors could go against what he decided on, but all agreed with him anyway and it was the best course of action, especially since they could use it to leave the Gobe Country for good.
Most of the advisors had their eyes on joining the Graham Family, and even if it was as a foot soldier or servant, they would have much more opportunities to increase their power and lifespan than in the small and ignorant Gobe Country.
The king nodded his head obediently and bowed before leaving to do exactly as he was told.
