6 Chapter 6 (2/2)

Therefore he could only do one thing, talk to his father about the idea of a new weapon... Alexis will make a weapon so that when the next war comes up, the Imperial army would have new weapons and this would cause other nations to develop their own versions of the new weapons that the Empire has...

He would also have to ”accidentally” leave some of the new weapons that would be manufactured in the future in order to give the other nations an idea as to how the mechanisms work!

Afterall what better time is there to develop technology than at war?

But eventually he will stop... from the knowledge he has of the other world, their weapons became too destructive that they themselves had to ban them from being used...

It was already hard for that highly developed and sophisticated world to come to a decision, let alone this world where people fight for the most ridiculous reasons...

He was then reminded of a famous war that happened a few years before he was born, not battle! But a full out war between the Kingdom of Ritzburg and the Republic of Namu.

The reason? Allegedly one soldier from the Republic of Namu had killed a chicken from a village inside the territory of the Kingdom of Ritzburg which bordered the western side of the Republic, and had eaten it.

The mayor of the village had complained to the Kingdom's authorities... The Kingdom demanded an answer from the Republic which ignored them and later on was suddenly attacked by the Kingdom...

The village is no more, why? Because it was at the borders and most of the fighting took place at the borders, it was apparently later on pillaged and ransacked by the soldiers of the Republic which countered the Royal army...

At first it was funny because the reason was ridiculous as even Alexis smirked a little when Aurelius was narrating the story but the ending was very bleak.

According to what happened in the story and thinking about it with his otherworldly knowledge, he knew just how horrible it was...

He was one hundred percent sure that the men were either killed, tortured or both and the women, raped and humiliated after which they would kill them or worse, keep them with them so that they could relieve themselves...

Alexis felt disgusted, he would have to set some guidelines for his army once he grows up, anybody who violates these guidelines will be killed!

If it was one thing Alexis was sure about, it was that; Good cannot defeat evil, it was Justice!

For now he would play innocent but once he grows up, he will be a strict ruler that shows no mercy for those that beg for second chances...

And to make sure everyone feared him, he was to be cold and ruthless to everyone...

He already got that covered since his personality is that of a mix between Snake, the former Alexis and Alexis, the Prince.

Cunningness from his otherworldly spy knowledge and yet honorable and prideful as a Prince.

But he was still as apathetic as anyone could get and only showed some emotion around his family...

Alexis woke up refreshed, he finally got the answer he was looking for, about himself.

By the time the maid walked into his room, Alexis was already awake, she realised she had made a mistake since she did not ask for his permission to enter and quickly apologised and begged for forgiveness...

”It is alright” Alexis said and glanced at her and went back to reading the book he had just taken out.

”Thank you for being merciful to this little one, your highness!” She bowed said as Alexis turned to her.

”It was not that I was being merciful, I was just in a good mood today...” he left her hanging while his lips turned up slightly as if he was trying his best not to smile, the young maid's face turned pale.

She was sure that it meant, 'Do it once again and I'll have your head.'

The maid then meekly asked Alexis whether he would be having a bath.

For some reason, Alexis felt a sense of euphoria seeing the distressed face of the maid after she was ”teased”...

'Interesting' he thought and went to the bath alongside the maid who was unusually quiet along the way.

”...I was joking if it calms your nerves” he said not being able to bear the awkward silence.

”...yes?” The maid stopped and looked at Alexis with a pitiful face.

”That was too far your highness!” She said and fell on her knees as tears threatened to spill from her beautiful big emerald green eyes.

”There! there!” Alexis pat her head with a smile that screamed 'please forgive me!'.

”Uwahhh!” She cried as Alexis sweatdropped...

'Maybe I have been too kind?' He asked himself since he was slightly annoyed.

'Or was it that i was scary for a four year old?' He thought again, feeling a bit sorry for her...

”Your highness, let us quickly go to the bath!” She said gently. Her eyes were still puffy and swollen from crying, Alexis nodded and the two once again set off to the bath...
