Chapter 1670 Is She Gone
The next morning, the tribal chiefs came to the palace and reported events that took place in the tribes as usual. As for the officials in charge of the foreign businessmen, no one had come.
The king frowned and asked, “What’s going on? I thought the foreign businessmen were very pleased yesterday. Why aren’t we hearing from them?”
The palace chief started to panic.
“Your Majesty, we have already made our inquiries this morning. According to Mr. Jadeson, both his sister and him worked tirelessly for Elysium. In the end, they’re still being told off. Now, they refuse to serve us anymore. He said we’re on our own regarding business matters!”
What!
Everyone who was present was shocked!
Then again, they could not help but admit such an arrogant attitude was completely Matteo’s style.
He was not going to allow anyone to bully his sister!
The king’s expression looked terrible. He turned to his son.
“Kaiden, what exactly is going on? Everything was fine yesterday. Why did you have an argument with Vivian? No matter how much you dislike her, you shouldn’t have made such a mistake with these important matters.”
Everyone could hear how furious the king was. No one dared to utter a word.
Kurt, on the other hand, sat there without any expression.
“She instigated Nina to steal chickens. Why can’t I reprimand her?”
“Nina? So, this is all her fault again. Men, tie her up and give her twenty slaps! After that, bring her to the Jadesons and get her to apologize!”
When the king heard his own daughter had caused the mess, he actually ordered his men to punish the child. It did not cross his mind that she was only seven years old.
Kurt immediately shot him a murderous glance that resembled that of a beast.
“You can try.”
What?
The king fell silent while the others gasped in shock and stared at Kurt. They could sense the prince was even more terrifying than his dad.
Kurt was no longer the same person who they could just execute like how they wanted to five years ago.
He had already turned into a very fierce wolf cub.
When they saved him back then, he had nearly slaughtered everyone in the forest. If he had not been exhausted, he would not have landed in their hands.
The king’s face turned bright red.
“Then tell me. What should we do? We know nothing about those foreign businessmen. Before this, you told me we must work with these people in order to get out of our backward situation. Now that the pair of siblings have refused to help us and we have no experience in working with foreign businessmen, how should we go about doing it?”
Kurt finally retracted his icy gaze.
He then replied begrudgingly, “I’ll go and look for them and settle this issue on my own. But listen to me carefully. If you dare to touch Nina, I will come after you.”
With that, he left the huge hall with his subordinates.
The king was enraged!
“How dare he threaten me? Is he tired of living?”
“Your Majesty, please don’t get so worked up. Prince Kurt is worried about his own sister. That’s understandable. As long as he can resolve this matter, he can redeem himself, from the mistake,” advised the palace chief.
Redeem himself!
Ha! They really treat this place like they would in ancient times. A dad will threaten anyone with death at any time. Even his own son is the same.
As for the rest of them, they actually think that they are courtiers. I can’t believe they speak of redemption.
How ironic!
Back at the tribe office.
In truth, Vivian did not go to the tribe office that morning because she had overslept.
She was indeed very upset and angry the day before. Later in the day, Matt took her to the town for a sumptuous meal.
Vivian even had a taste of the local rum.
Afterward, she got drunk and fell asleep until now.
“Vivi? Vivi?”
“Yes?”
She was lying on the bed and heard someone calling out her name. That was when she opened her eyes and looked at the person who had disrupted her sleep.
“What’s wrong?”
It was the staff from Summerbank who had stayed back to work there. When he saw she was awake, he quickly told her, “The sun is already up. Why are you still sleeping? You didn’t go to the palace to sign the agreement on the foreign businessmen’s behalf today. Now, the king’s son is here. He’s waiting for you downstairs.”
Vivian was dumbfounded.
Hold on a second. The son of the king?
Her reaction had always been slower than others, and the fact that she had just woken up did not help at all.
Then, she heard voices from downstairs.
“I’m so sorry, Prince Kurt. Vivian isn’t up yet. I’ve already sent someone to wake her up. Please wait for a while.”
“She’s still here?”
“Yes. Last night, she went out with her brother for a meal. I heard she drank too much rum, and he had to carry her back. She has been sleeping till now,” explained one of the staff.
