I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 6: Part of the family

"Haha! I didn't know that my brother will have such a unique sibling. As expected of a Viscellete."

"We aren't officially siblings yet so please don't call me that."

"Ho? You're quite brave, the crown prince is in front of you and you're talking to me like that."

"I think it is fine since you visited me in the middle of the night, I'm still quite sleepy so don't expect a warm treatment."

"You're funny."

"I'll take that as a compliment. So may I ask why the future sun and glory of the kingdom suddenly bestowed his grace upon this lowly servant in the middle of the night?"

"I told you, I came here to check out what kind of person my brother would have as a sister."

"Hmm, now that you saw me I guess that the task of the future sun and glory of our kingdom is finished?"

"Hahaha, you truly are a funny girl."

The crown prince laughed but Jane ignored it and instead dropped a large bomb that made the crown prince instantly go silent.

"So your highness, did you perhaps already got the wind of information that the three southern kingdoms recently joined forces?"

"..."

The crown prince was silent while looking at her with a surprised expression. Jane didn't care and kept talking.

"Since the three kingdoms almost covered up our southern part I suggest that you should start preparing and strengthening our southern borders.

"How did you-?"

"Doesn't matter it is up to you whether you believe me or not. The important thing is keeping the kingdom safe no?"

Lance Sherodd, is the type of ruler that cares for his kingdom over anything else. In the novel, he may be described as a cold and icy ruler but when the war with the demon world begun he was one of the people to fight in the frontlines with Noah while letting the citizens escape. And as you all know, all the people who fought with Noah on the frontlines died, making Lance also a forgotten hero.

"I also heard that the assassins responsible for Viana's death are now dead thanks to the duke. It seems that the three kingdoms will use that petty reason to try and wage a war with us."

The crown prince silently observed me and I did the same to him. We observed each other and finally, Lance began to speak.

"You are right, that is why I am currently visiting the duke."

"You should also check the southwest border, your highness."

"I already sent someone to do that. But, how did you know?"

"I have my ways."

"Ho."

"And I also know that your highness has absorbed the power of [Shield] from a magic container. It seems like his highness do good choices in life because that power is enough to cover the entire capital in the kingdom right your highness?"

"You, how did you know that?"

"I told you, I have my ways. You are still keeping that power a secret right? If it goes out that the prince of the Reece Kingdom absorbed a petty power of the ancient people I'm sure you'll be a laughing stock."

In the novel, this man right in front of me is the reason why I chose the power sealed in the magic containers. While in the war with the demon world, he is the biggest role player when it comes to defenses. He was able to hold out thousands of monsters on his own while letting the people escape. He is like an unbreakable wall in that part of the novel.

"Ha, hahaha! You are right, I'll become a laughingstock if this goes out. But they didn't know, that this joke of a power in their eyes will be the biggest game-changer in any war."

In this world, people believed that the powers sealed in the magical containers are powerless and useless and also, they are hidden in places that are hard for a normal human to find, that is why they all just ignored it.

"That is correct your highness, as expected of the future sun and glory of our kingdom!"

The crown prince smiled at me and I smiled back at him. I put my palm in front of him and said.

"Hush money."

"Hahahaha! Fine, here you go. It is also payment for making me see something amusing."

'Jerk, I'm not a clown.'

The crown prince places a large pouch of golden coins in my hand and stands up. He then headed towards the door. He opened the door but stopped and asked me something.

"You are on our side right?"

"Of course."

I heard the crown prince laugh and left the room. I placed the money pouch on the table and went back to bed. I saw the black beast staring at me weirdly.

"What?"

"Nothing..."

The black beast curled up into a ball and started to sleep. I lay down beside him and started to close my eyes and start to sleep.
