Chapter 201 - The Emperors Plan (1/2)
Emperor Aventus glanced at the hundreds of bottles piled neatly on the throne room before he turned to glanced at the smiling young man with long silver hair tied in a ponytail. 'This... There should be half a thousand bottles of Heavenly Restoration Wine here! How did Duke Cale manage to make this much amount of wine in a short amount of time? Perhaps there is someone working under him who is responsible for making this.' Many thoughts flash in Emperor Aventus' head.
”Why are you showing me this, Duke Cale?” The emperor asked probingly as he glanced at Cale.
Cale smiled and shook his head. ”Your Majesty, I'm not showing this to you. I am giving all these bottles of wine to you.”
When the emperor heard Cale's words, his calm heart almost leaped out of his c_h_e_s_t. But the emperor still maintained a neutral expression as if he was unaffected by what he had heard.
Cale praised the emperor's calmness in his heart.
It was very rare to find someone who could remain calm in the face of countless treasures. As a man who had seen much of the world and experienced the vicissitudes of time, Emperor Aventus was surely among the few kinds of these people.
Emperor Aventus glanced at the hundreds of bottles piled neatly on the throne room before he turned to glanced at the smiling young man with long silver hair tied in a ponytail.
”Duke Cale, this is too much for a gift. Not to mention, if you want the help of ten Immortal-Class level experts, they would gladly offer themselves to you without payment. How can I accept this from you?” Emperor Aventus shook his head.
Cale already expected that the emperor would reject his gift at the first moment, but he truly meant to give these bottles of wine to the Celestial Sword Empire.
His arrival in the Celestial Sword Empire already sealed the empire's fate against Azazel. It only meant that they opposed Azazel and supported Cale's goal. So, to somewhat alleviate the guilt in his heart, Cale decided to give half a thousand bottles of Heavenly Restoration Wine to the empire.
It might seem a lot to the emperor, but to Cale, even a thousand bottles were nothing. He could simply buy them in the Black Market. Of course, he had to pay 1 Crystal Coin for each bottle.
”Your Majesty, I will be honest with you. Five hundred bottles of Heavenly Restoration Wine is nothing to me. The Celestial Sword Empire might not lack experts, but after the recent incidents, the overall strength of the Celestial Sword Empire was significantly weakened. These five hundred bottles will help the empire nurture more experts who can replace the ones who died or those who were severely injured.” Cale said with a stern look.
When the emperor heard Cale's words, he agreed in his heart. With the five hundred bottles of Heavenly Restoration Wine, he could nurture another batch of experts loyal only to the empire.
Emperor Aventus glanced at Cale and sighed as he spoke. ”Since this is the case, I will accept Duke Cale's kind intentions. Don't worry, if a battle arises between you and Azazel in the future, the Celestial Sword Empire will gladly assist you.”
Cale smiled and remained unperturbed even after hearing the emperor's promise. Of course, he was happy about the outcome and he no longer needed to worry about the imperial family regarding his future plans.
”Thank you, Your Majesty. As long as I am here in the Celestial Sword Empire, I will not allow anyone to harm it and its citizens.” Cale promised solemnly.
