Nathan says,I only have 3 requests and if you can fullfill those requests then I can wholeheartedly work with you in your future endeavours.

Dustin thinks a little while and says, I'm willing to hear them but granting them, depends upon the difficulty of the requests.

Nathan says, fine,my first request is obviously to support me in the endeavour of becoming the Duke

Dustin replies, ofcourse I'll help you.

Nathan continues,I need the permission to make and sell weapons. I also want the iron ore which previously controlled by vernica family.

Hearing this,dustin was flustered, but he gains his composure and asks,I would grant this request also but can you tell me the reason, why you wanted to make weapons all of a sudden.

Nathan with smile says,you will know when I ask my third request. But before that I humbly requests that this request is kinda confidential. So I wanted to discuss with you alone prince dustin.

Aldrich understands the meaning and says,no way,I am gonna leave the prince side.

Before he could say few more words, dustin stops him and orders him to go and wait outside.

Aldrich says, I know prince dustin, you are also a 7th class swordsmen but still guarding you is my duty,so....

Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

Dustin again stops him and says,you don't need to worry about me because I trust him and I also have a hunch of what his third request is.

Even though he didn't want but Aldrich goes outside and wait there for Dustin's next order.

Nathan says, you must have guessed it to some extent, for my third request I want a kingdom atleast twice the size of this drassia dukedom.

Dustin laughs and says,I knew,I didn't choose a wrong person. So, you have figured it out.

Nathan says,yes it was a little difficult but it was not impossible to figure it out.

Dustin says,I accept that you are smart and your third request is reasonable but you would be competing against 8th class mages and knights,so I can't grant that request even if we won,until you show your worth to the emperor.

Nathan says,I'll definitely try my atmost to achieve the recognition of his majesty but can i ask you, when are things gonna get started.

Dustin says, to be honest,I don't know the exact date but it'll probably gonna start in 2 to 3 years. I have a suggestion, if you want to achieve your goal then you need a support, so then why don't you marry Aldrich's daughter.

Nathan flinches a little and says,I am sorry but i promised my self that I won't be thinking about marriage until my goal is achieved.

Dustin observes the expression on Nathan's face and says,that was only my suggestion if you don't like it then forget about it.

After discussing about some more political affairs, dustin bids farewell to Nathan along with Aldrich and royal knights.

Nathan sighs and says, this guy is more harder to handle than I expected but nonetheless I'm getting what I wanted, so no need to think about unnecessary things.

After some time, Halbert greets Nathan and says,as per your order I have already gathered many books on magic spells and sword techniques. We are still investigating about Rose Averill and victor Alston.

Nathan smiles and says that's good. I am going to my room to improve my skills so nobody should disturb me until I came out myself.

I almost forgot, what's going on with those two body guards William and waslay,did they tell us anything.

Halbert says, you told me to use both of them to improve torchering skills of our newly joined assassins that's why, it is taking this long. If we give this task to our pro torchering squad then ....

Nathan says,no need for that because training for our newbie assassins is necessary and also I am not in a hurry. So once I complete my training then I'll personally interrogate them. Saying this, Nathan directly goes to his room with a poison bottle in his hand.

After reading all the books in his room,he thinks finally I have the time and chance to get stronger. So,it's time for major power up.
