Chapter Twenty-Nine

"Should you be telling me that?" He turns his head as he spoke and I laugh again.

"It's actually pretty common knowledge that they are preparing to attack someone. And all the countries nearby are preparing for an assault. So it's ok, just don't talk about it with anyone if your parents haven't said anything. And if they find out you know, say you heard it in a rumor, they'll accept that answer with all the gossiping maids about." He nodded and laughed at that, before jumping up to leave.

"Where are you going now?" He turns to grin at me.

"I'm going to go train! If there might be a war than they're will be more assassination attempts right? I wanna protect my dad~" And with that he takes off out of the room. I smile at his determination, but I know he won't do much good, but it's good he's taking all of this seriously.

The Kingdom of Casmire is one of our Kingdom's neighbors, and they were know for their wines and swords. We had had multiple of their leaders killed and only far later had they been able to prove it had been us. Anyways each time they had been planning war with us, or had declared war so we hadn't done so unjustifiably. Well, anyways they have been spending mass amounts of money for weapons and other supplies, and had been researching more warfare techniques and weaponry. Our country has been focusing on medical studies and magical for a very long time now, and if you wanted medicines or magic items our country was the place you would get it from. Anyways, the country of Casmire is rapidly militarizing, but not to hit us. We are allying to bring down a smaller country named Slyvea Dynasty, a powerful dictatorship oppressing and starving it's people. The last ten years alone they've managed to massacre an eighteenth of their population from starving, and it would only be worse this year. I fear for it's people, and so does our King, Casmire's Queen and then kingdom of Spades King is helping as well. Anyways, our 'measures' we've put in our medical supplies and food, as well as magical items and stones too. Magical stones are stones filled with Mana, and they carried mass amounts of power, pretty much used as batteries. Anyways, we would get a third of it, and the other two would respectively get a third of it. And we had already agreed on how it would be divided when we took over so there wouldn't be fighting. I didn't agree with war, but if we don't intervene soon, too many will have died.
