Chapter 593 Interrogating The Captives (3)
As soon as I heard this, there was a person that I thought of.
At the same time, I could tell that General Killock was thinking the same thing as he suddenly knitted his brows.
As for the general and vice general, they realized the mistake that they made and covered their mouths, but it was already too late for that.
General Killock suddenly turned to me to say, "General, we should send out men to capture the Midra Kingdom's second prince."
The tone in his voice was as if he was strongly urging me to send someone after them.
But I shook my head as I said, "No, it's too late."
General Killock gritted his teeth when he heard this, but he still said in a voice that was strongly urging me on, "General, even if the chances are slim, we should send some people after them. It is the second prince of the Midra Kingdom."
The second prince of the Midra Kingdom, this was someone who was as infamous as the fourth prince was in our kingdom.
As for why he was infamous, it was the same reason as the fourth prince.
He was someone that had just as much power as the fourth prince did in our kingdom in his own kingdom.
He was someone that could even rival the king if he wanted to and was the clear choice for the next king, but it didn't seem like the second prince wanted to take this throne.
That was where I knew him from.
In the game, there was a quest line that was all about the successor to the throne in the Midra Kingdom.
The player would have to choose one of the princes to back and in the end, the prince that they chose would take the throne. WIth the power of the second prince, there was no doubt that he was an important character in this quest line.
However, one was able to find the real reason why he didn't take the throne.
Simply put, it was because of his lover…or rather his ex lover.
He had fallen in love with a commoner and had wanted to leave the royal family to be with her.
However, his father had found out about this and then had that commoner girl killed.
The second prince was enraged at his father for doing something like this, but as the benevolent person he was, he didn't retaliate. It wasn't that he didn't want to kill his father for this, it was because he knew that the moment that he did, the entire Midra Kingdom would fall into chaos.
His personality wouldn't allow this to happen, so he had endured until the succession race.
During the quest line, the second prince had suddenly shown up and killed the king. Then after killing the king, he allowed the prince that the player backed to kill him to establish themselves as the one that had killed the traitor.contemporary romance
The second prince got his revenge and was able to save the kingdom from collapse.
He could be considered the true hero of the Midra Kingdom, but…he had to bear the infamy of being a traitor that had killed the king.
It was a story that had been praised by many of the players of this game, one that had even moved me.
So there was a small part of me that wanted to meet the second prince and become friends with this person.
But for now, he was an enemy…
I still shook my head and said, "Do you really think that the second prince wouldn't have prepared an escape route already? Not to mention, there's the chance that he might have already expected this and set up a trap for us. It is too risky for us to do this, it's better for us to fortify this position just in case the second prince has any other plans."
General Killock didn't respond right away as he looked at me with narrowed eyes.
But in the end, he slowly gave a nod.
He had wanted to refute this, but there wasn't anything that he could refute this with since he knew that I was right.
That was just how infamous the second prince was.
I turned back to the general and vice general to say, "Is there anything else that you want to tell us?"
The general and vice general looked at each other before the general turned to General Killock to say, "Why would you choose to follow this devil? It's clear that he's a blight on humanity."
I shook my head with a sigh when I heard this before saying, "What do you mean by that?"
The general looked at me with narrowed eyes to say, "You don't care about human lives at all and you want to say that you're not a devil."
I gave a shrug before saying, "So you're saying that the people of the Midra Kingdom have never killed people of our kingdom before?"
The general said with a look of rage, "We surrendered and you watched as our people died."
I nodded in agreement to this to the surprise of the general. Then I said, "You're saying that your people wouldn't have done the same thing? We couldn't stop those Blood Worms even if we wanted to."
The general opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, but he found that he couldn't say anything in the end since he couldn't refute this. So he just said, "Our Midra Kingdom is the kingdom blessed by the gods, do you know how much each life is worth compared to your small kingdom?"
The soldiers all knitted their brows to reveal frowns when they heard this.
I shook my head with a sigh before saying, "As expected, when pressured enough, your true personality comes out."
I didn't bother saying anything else to the general and vice general since I knew that there was nothing else that I would get from them.
I just stood up and looked at General Killock to say, "Go and put them back in the dungeons." Then in a lower voice, I said, "But make sure to give them a proper welcome. As long as they don't die, you're free to do whatever you want with them."
General Killock revealed a surprised look at first, but then he revealed a smile with sparkling eyes as he nodded in agreement.
He knew what I meant by a 'proper welcome', so he turned to the soldiers and said a few words.
After he said these words, the soldiers all looked at the general and the vice general with smiles on their faces.
They had already been angered when they heard what the general and vice general had said about their kingdom earlier. Now that they were given a chance, they would naturally vent that anger on them.
The general and vice general could also see this, so they said, "Wait, what do you think you're doing? Stay away from us, we're valued prisoners of war!"
But the soldiers didn't care about this at all.
I also didn't look back once as I walked out of the interrogation room.
When the door closed, I could hear the screams of pain coming from behind it.
