"Are you saying that there are chances that this Mission would fail?" Eardwolf raised his eyebrow and questioned with a doubtful look on his face. "Hmm? Of course, there are. There is always a chance that your plan might fail, however, things are different here. The Stakes are just too high, I won't be able to take the responsibility if one of my King Stage Subordinates dies here." Riona answered. "Heh, so the Great Riona Skadi is afraid?" Eardwolf provoked. Riona, however, replied with a straight look on her face, "I am not afraid, I am just being careful." "How will the plan fail? What bothers you? Discuss it with me, only then will I think about sending someone for this mission. Is it Astaria Skyfall?" Eardwolf spoke. Hearing his words, Riona smiled inwardly, The fish has taken the bait. "Lady Astaria is not a problem. Since Raguel sent this letter, he must have a way to do things without involving Lady Astaria. The Problem is the Target herself. Evane Skyfall. I investigated that woman, she is not as simple as you think, she has a King Stage Cultivator as her subordinate. We are sending 1 King Stage Cultivator to deal with that subordinate while Raguel's Grandfather would kill Evane before teaming up with our King Stage Cultivator to Kill that bodyguard. But what if that bodyguard is not the only King Stage Cultivator supporting her? What if there is one more? Won't things go south?" Riona replied. "You are telling me that you suspect that two King Stage Cultivators are protecting that Princess 24 hours a day and seven days a week?" Eardwolf raised his eyes and questioned. "Yes." Riona nodded. "Do you know how absurd you sound?" Eardwolf couldn't help but question. "King Stage Cultivators are National Treasures, one of them is just a mere bodyguard is already absurd, but now you are saying that there are two bodyguards protecting a little girl all the time?" "I know it is a very unlikely scenario, however, I would still not send my subordinates until I am 100% sure, and in this case, I can't be 100% sure since everything involving that 'little girl' is too mysterious." Riona spoke in a way that showed that no matter what happens, she won't do otherwise. "So my subordinates dying is not a problem, but your subordinates dying is something you can't accept?" Eardwolf spoke. "Of course, I am only responsible for my subordinates' lives, not yours." Riona was direct with her answer. "What if I don't agree to send them?" The King questioned. "Then we will abandon the Mission, Raguel would be charged for assassinating his brother, and that Evane would become the Ruler of the Skyfall Kingdom. It was a good opportunity to gain control over the Skyfall Kingdom and a chance to recruit a few of their King Stage Cultivators, but we don't have to take unnecessary risks." Riona shrugged. "…" The King fell into deep thought. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Riona's face, she then stood up and, "Well, whatever, I guess it was a waste of time, you can go continue with whatever you are doing, I still have some work to do." Saying those words, Riona turned around. "Wait." Just as she was about to leave the room, the King called out. Riona's smile widened, 'Easy peasy.' She chuckled inwardly. Then, her smile disappeared and she turned around, "Hmm? What is it?" "So you are not going to do it?" "I won't." "Give that letter to me." The King spoke. "Why?" Riona frowned. "Heh, unlike you, I am not a cow-" Before Eardwolf could even complete, Riona's expression changed, "I warned you, didn't I? Don't do something that you might regret later." "This is a great opportunity, abandoning it because of some random ifs is not something wise, it might be a little risky, but I feel like I should take this risk." "So you are planning to help Raguel?" Riona questioned. "I am." Eardwolf smiled. "That would be gre-" An excited smile appeared on Riona's face, however, before she could continue, Eardwolf interrupted. "However, I will be the one taking credit once this succeeds. I am the one who is taking all the risk after all." "That won't be a problem, you can take all the credits you want. I don't care." Hearing her answer, Eardwolf frowned, Eardwolf felt that something was wrong, Riona was being a little too agreeable today. Why would she give up an opportunity like this to him? Won't it increase his influence? That isn't something she would wish for. The more he thought about this, the more suspicious it everything seemed. And as if knowing what was going on in his mind, Riona spoke, "Look, I know it is suspicious, if it was something else, I wouldn't help you, however, this is something important for this Kingdom. I might lose some of my influence, however, if it can strengthen us, it is only a small price to pay." Eardwolf was not sure, something was definitely wrong. Riona was not this saintly of a woman. She was definitely planning something. Eardwolf started thinking. This Mission would definitely be beneficial for the Kingdom but the question was, what would Riona gain from this? No matter what Eardwolf thought, he couldn't come up with an answer. 'Other than influence, there is nothing she needs, and influence could only be gained if the credit goes to her. Wait…' Eardwolf finally realized. 'She was planning to steal my credits.' Thinking about this, a cold look appeared on Eardwofl's face. 'Not today, you bitch.' "Alright, I will help him, let me write a letter." "A letter?" Riona frowned. A wide smile appeared on Eardwolf's face and he answered, "A letter to Vloyd and Razor, I will command them to go to the Skyfall Kingdom and talk with Prince Raguel." Eardwolf snickered inwardly. Once everything was written, Riona wouldn't be able to steal his credit. Thinking about this, a smile appeared on his face. He then glanced at Riona to see her confused and troubled face, and seeing that face, a great sense of joy washed over his body. 'Haha! Got you, bitch!'
