Fate?

Once the meeting was over, Zaro Aventine met Prime Minister Dallas alone in his chamber.

The Prime Minister who was still thinking of what happened in the meeting, stared at the King, trying to figure out what was on his mind. However, the King just sat still with his gaze fixated on the outdoors through the opened door of the balcony.

"Do you wonder why I want to meet you?" Zaro Aventine asked, shifting his gaze to the Prime Minister.

"I was wondering what you're thinking," the Prime Minister honestly replied. "Did something bothers you, Your Majesty?"

"Should I make a move against Aryan Tripas?" the young King promptly asked. "I think I already hold back long enough. I still have a promise to fulfil."

"I understand what you think, Your Majesty," Dallas Vareky responded. "But we have so many enemies now. Entering a war will exhaust us and we will soon become an easy target for our other enemies."
