44 44. Erics Reasons (1/2)

Eric was talking with his father in the hallways of the palace, Eric was feeling happy after getting home after 1 month, but he was also sad as the food he will eat will be the same as his days in the palace.

The king was talking, ” Eric your mother has been worried about you, where have you been this past month? But what happened to you must be a lesson for you, that you shouldn't go anywhere that is dangerous. ”

” Also where have you found your new friends Eric, I have become quite interested in them. Well, how can I not be as those horseless iron carriages have already impressed me the first time I saw those carriages. ”

” Tell me are they mages from another country?”

Eric was listening to his father while trailing behind his father. Eric was clenching his fists as he was nervous to say about the proposal he proposed. He was scared that his father would not be too happy about it. He was scared because of the decision that his father may give, will result in their doom.

Eric gathered all his resolve to speak to his father, ” Father! I have something to tell you about my guests.”

King Danilo turned around to face Eric, he then raised his right eyebrow and spoke, ” Well I've been asking you about them for a while now, and yet you didn't listen to me. How disappointing, by the way, you act now it looks like your hiding a secret from me.”

Eric replied, ” Yes, I have been father, but please don't be mad.”

King Danilo spoke, ” Well then what is it your hiding.”

Eric the spoke with a slightly nervous voice, ” Well it a about my guest's father.”

King Danilo asks, ”what about them?”

Eric then spoke, ” I kinda told them about the rare magic stones found in our country.”

King Danilo shouted as he was caught off guard by Prince Eric's words, ” What! you told them about our kingdom's most valuable thing. I can't believe you just tell it to some random strangers, Even the Empire of Sirius doesn't even know that we are the ones who have access to those rare magic stones. Those Magic stones are the core of the country's power and you dare gave information easily.”

King Danilo slapped his head after his head and massages his face from thinking about how problematic the effects of Eric's actions.

Eric was scared at the reaction of his father, but he was determined to make sure that he will get his father's approval of the proposed alliance.

Eric then spoke, ” Father I know what I did was extremely dangerous to us but please hear me out, I will not just spit it out if i don't have any good reasons.”

King Danilo looked into Eric's eyes and said, ” Well this reason of yours must be good, or else I would have to execute the next heir publicly.”

Eric gulped after hearing his father, he knew his father loved him, but when his father says something as a king, not as his father he knew that he will do it even killing his own son. ”

Eric then spoke, ” Well, the reason is that I have been afraid to go to war with them. To tell you the truth, father if i compare their homeland to the Empire of Sirius and ask me who is more powerful, I would say the homeland of my guests. But after witnessing the things I saw in their home country, I would say that the country of my guests is more powerful than the ten superpowers of this continent combined.”

” Well another reason is their technology, you saw those carriages. If we are to become allies with them we could have some of their technologies, so you will be seeing those carriages more in this country.”

” Also their constructing technology and techniques are almost out of this world, i saw tall buildings that might be able to touch the sky with their height, the road of their country is the best i have seen, it was smooth and flawless making transportation better and faster. ”
