Chapter 0205
Most likely he was trying to goadout.
“I'm not sure what you mean exactly, I've only watched the story about the human districts burning their
punishment stages.” | think he finally realized that he had put his foot in his mouth slightly by mentioning the
king.
“And what exactly are your thoughts on it? Everybody either knows or at the very least assumes it was you who
originally set fire to your districts area. Does that bother you?” | shook my head, no. It was a funny thing really, |
never wanted to be a leader, | never wanted to be anything. | just wanted a quiet life that revolves around me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttrying to do what was best for my family. Only now, thinking back, my life was never quiet. Even before the king
met me, | was getting punished monthly by the principal of the school or by the warrior wolves who were placed
on patrol. Also, | have never been one to stop expressing my opinions and thoughts. That was never going to
change either.
“When | first drop the match on the stage | wasn’t thinking clearly.” | explained as we slowly began to walk
through the safe zone again. “The king hadin chains... thick, cold, heavy chains, and so when | saw the
opportunity to make his grace aware that | was the one who committed the arson. | also knew what the people
would speculate. So | kind of did it to explain to everyone that I, the kings mate, had escaped and was free from
the restraints that helddown. | knew the world would know it wasas soon as I'd done it.” My explanation
didn’t actually answer his question though, not directly anyway so in stead | also gave the man a blunt reply.
“So, no, it doesn’t botherat all. In fact I'd go as far as to say I'm made up that people are showing initiative.”
We continued to walk and even simply doing that madebecslightly breathless, maybe I had to stick with
walking for now, it was no secret that my body wasn’t that of a typical eighteen year old.
“Actually, sir, could I ask a favor of you?” | wanted him to arrange a meeting with V for me. While | wasn’t able to
get sleep last night, my mind was racing ten to the dozen with ideas to speed up the
rebellion.
“Of course, your grace, Im happy to help in anyway | can.” That | fully believed, if he was anything like his son
then | imagine he would be happy to help anyone who simply asked for it.
“I'd like to speak to V today, | understand she is in charge and has the final say on matters regarding the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrebellion, but | have an idea that may just be what we need.” His eyes widened a bit at my words but he smiled
softly, | really wasn’t trying to step on anyone's toes, but now was the tfor things to start progressing here,
the only way to do that was to manually set the wheels in motion.
“Of course, it's nice to see you taking an interest, | assumed you would want to relax for a little bit before
throwing yourself back into work, and trust me, what you've done for the smuggling trade is work. You've been
the one stopping stupid requests like alcohol.” | nodded my head and chuckled. | could be big headed here, but
instead of really bugging myself up | simply stuck the facts.
“The trade was created to give the human districts extra rations of food. Hope doesn’t exist for people who
physically have nothing.” He agreed wholeheartedly. Had | impressed the man or something with my statement.
“I think V might actually be free now, if you want to go and see her. She's currently taking stock of the
vegetables in the greenhouse we've got set up. I'll take you over.” The walk with Elias was really pleasant
actually, he was easy to talk to, however he gavethe sense that if someone got on his bad side then all he'll «
would break loose.
