31 The King of Vorbei Part 3 (1/2)
As Ethan saw the now former Minister of the Treasury, Otto Von Geld, leave the room, he saw the man giving an angry look at Mia. Ethan found this strange for a moment because, to the best of Ethan's knowledge, Mia had nothing to do with his getting removed from office. The next moment Ethan looked over at Mia and saw a look of triumph on her face.
[She must have had something to do with that person getting removed from office. I guess that this is just the inter-noble politics of this kingdom. I wonder if he maybe wronged in the past her somehow? I should remember to not get on her bad side.] Thought Ethan.
The meeting continued with the remaining twelve ministers giving reports on what was happening to their ministries. The meeting was adjourned on time an hour and a half later. As soon as the meeting adjourned, the national ministers and most of the observers, with the exceptions of Ethan and the Sun Knights, left the room.
”Mia, how did your mission to subjugate goblins go?” Asked the King.
”Yes your majesty, I can give you a full report, but would it be possible for me to speak to you privately?” Said Mia.
”Of course” said the King, and Ethan and the others left the throne room.
”Does Mia usually talk to the King privately after a mission?” Ethan asked Hans and Friedrich after they left the room.
”It's not unheard of, but it doesn't usually happen.” Said Hans.
”If I were to guess, I'd say that she came across some very sensitive information on the mission that she wants as few people to know as possible.” Said Friedrich.
[She's probably telling him about the other use for the 'delayed spark' spell that I found and the fact that the Western Empire is planning on invading. That would certainly classify as 'very sensitive information that she wants as few people to know as possible.] Thought Ethan.
Just then, a couple of city guards approached with Johan Alchemis in chains. A couple of the Sun Knights took custody of Johan, and the city guards left.
About an hour passed, and Mia finally opened the door to the throne room.
”Come on in guys.” Mia said, and the group entered.
