“Why? Why is there a spirit here!?” The Prime Minister stumbled backwards with a look of fear on his face.

“Ahem….” King Gravos shook his head at me, causing me to purse my lips. “Pholin, you of all people should know that Little Faith here is not only my honored guest but also someone that I see as family. Why are you making a scene?”

“Faith?” Bell looked confused as she floated over and poked me in the cheek.

“Sorry, Bell, it seems it was a false alarm. Did I wake you from your nap?” I asked while petting her head. Bell was definitely cute._-.

“Mmm… But it’s okay since it was Faith who called me.” Bell said sweetly, causing me to smile. Even some of the nobles who were standing at the side smiled at her words.

“Sorry about that. Go ahead and get some more sleep. I will find you something good to try later.” I felt kind of bad. I mean, I just used her as a means to shut up the Prime Minister. Sorry, Bell!

“Okay! I will be waiting!” Bell happily spun around before turning into a ray of light and entering my body.

“Ahem…. I apologize, Miss Cryilia….” The Prime Minister seemed to have composed himself and stepped forward and bowed. But as he raised his head before I could even say anything, he continued: “But what do you object about?”

“What do I object about? Well…. This situation should not be overseen by anyone but His Majesty and his most trusted people who specialize in investigation. But do not get me wrong, I am not saying you are not to be trusted, but I, for one, do not know you. The only ones in this room that I know and trust with my life are Princess Adellia, Prince Lance, and His Majesty himself. And because it involves the lives of not only royalty but people I care for, I would not trust anyone I do not know with any kind of investigation.”  I tried to explain in a roundabout way of saying I do not trust you through a hole in the wall. This involved an assassination, for one thing, so this was not something that should just be handed off.

King Gravos looked at me with a grateful expression. While it only lasted a second, I still caught it. But it seemed the Prime Minister was not very convinced with my explanation. “While I can understand your distrust in me, but I should mention I have been the Prime Minister for a very long time. His Majesty has trusted me this entire time, so would it not be beneficial for me to handle the affairs that should be passed on to someone else?”

“So you’re saying that an assassination attempt on the crown prince of this kingdom is the same as pushing a file full of papers that deal with the budget!? That doesn’t sound like someone I would trust. If you can not see the urgency in the situation, then I think you are not cut out for your job. Why sit and argue about such a thing when it is as simple as letting His Majesty handle the situation that involves his kids?

“While he is King and needs to draw a line on when he can favor his child, this is not one of those times. This is one of the times when the King should stand up to the injustice that was cast on the royal family and lead the investigation that deals with his own kin. Not pass it on. By passing it on to someone else, it shows he does not care for the Crown Prince and could sow discord in the court. Or is this what you were attempting to do?” Thank the gods for my addiction to reading!

I smiled as I saw the Prime Minister’s face turn sour. I mean, what can he say? My play on words pushed the fact that if he tried to continue to take the lead on this case, he would be the one trying to sow discord in the courts which would cause the factions on each side to begin fighting. In fighting makes for an easier time if you are planning something. To be honest, I think some of my military tactics and acting skills kicked in there as well. I never really know since they are passives.

“Haha! Faith is always thinking about her friends and this kingdom. I will do as Faith says and handle this myself. Pholin, I appreciate your concern, but this is something I should do as King, just like Little Faith here said.” I breathed a sigh of relief as I heard the King agreeing to handle things himself.

“As Your Majesty wishes.” Pholin gave a noble bow which I almost snorted at.

“Pass down my order. Everyone in the castle is to undergo questioning under the black knights.” King Gravos did not hesitate to use his own personal guard as the ones doing the investigation. This was good because from what I know about the black knights was that they were extremely loyal only to the King himself and would not take orders from anyone else. “Also… Faith Cyrilia!”

Hearing my name called out, I instinctively knelt down as a knight should do in this situation and bowed my head. All though I was not a knight, but still, I can act it out in times like this, no? “Yes, Your Majesty?”

“Please raise your head.” At his words, I raised my head and looked the King straight in the eye. But seeing that mischievous smirk hidden within those eyes, I have a feeling he is about to do something that will not make many people happy in the slightest. But it’s things like this that make me kind of excited. So I can only wait in anticipation to see what he will pull out of his hat.
