Chapter 981: The two people of the court (2) (1/2)

Most of them were sent to the territory of the other lords of Pandemonium. Some of them were sent to the mayor of the large cities all over Pandemonium.

And some other is sent to survey the lands and create a map as fast as possible so they could see the changes of Pandemonium and determine where is the other cities and villages that used to be in Pandemonium.

She sighed when thinking about all of this.

'It seems the Palace would have to be repaired after this' she said. Lukas only nodded but then he added

'It also need renovation. And a few architect to add a few more structure. It looks a bit vast and empty. I hope the Ministry of Finance would not neglect to mention it later when they do their meeting'

Sasha look at Lukas with her eyebrows raised and said

'He would probably listen to you.'

'I believe that he would listen more carefully if it comes from you. Since our liege will be going into seclusion, I really dare not use his name in vain.'

Sasha think for a few seconds and nodded

'I would persuade him. Though, I require some of the secrets of the Minister of Interior.'

Lukas smile and said

'Deal'

Sasha then ask

'We have been walking for quite a while. There is no one around us and I notice no one that is listening to us right now. If there is anything you want to say to me, this is the right time' And Sasha stopped.

Lukas also halted.

The atmosphere between them turn tense.

She was practically glaring at him.

Sasha had a lot on her plate.

While she enjoys this kind of banter and words with double meaning and secret deals in the background, today is not such a day.

The world today, changed. And not in a small way. So, one could understand her frustration today to not want to be stuck here for long

There is now a gap with her old intel and the new intel. There are areas that needs to be mapped, organizations to be tracked and spies to be captured.

Lukas only smiles.

'Don't be impatient. That is not a good trait to have'

Sasha only snorted.

Lukas had sent a signal to Sasha when she went out from the throne room. Whether Death Monarch was in the throne room or not, he would still send that signal toward her.

The difference was that if Death Monarch was in the throne room, he would meet with Sasha after he reported all of the things that happened to Death Monarch

But, since Death Monarch had disappeared, he expedites the things he needed to do. The word ”walk with me” is simply a way of Sasha saying she got the message.

They walk along deserted hallways, going as so far to go across the garden and now here is all to make sure that they were not followed and that no one is listening to them.

One might not have the gust o eavesdrop on Death Monarch.

But, these forces certainly have the guts to eavesdrop on them.

And even though there is just a great change that is happening right now that affect the palace, there is never an accident of being too careful.

Especially when they stand on a position of power and influence and possess many secrets of the world.

Even more so, they need to be vigilant so they would not leak any important secret

Yes, they were many times that they did not like each other presence.

Lukas did not like that Sasha is like the head of a secret police.

And Sasha did not like the fact that the Keeper of the Palace possess too much power in the Imperial Court during the absence of Death Monarch

But, in the end, there is quite a tacit understanding between both of them.

They did not attack each other, and at times they even cooperated with each other in the dark

Who knows? Maybe the antagonistic behavior they showed toward each other is probably also an act.

Sasha did not understand why Lukas is still not saying anything and instead still keep talking about unrelated things.

Even she did not have more topic to talk about.
