Chapter 1408: Chapter 1406: Too late for 1405

“Stop!” Samiyi mustered courage from somewhere and suddenly rushed in front of the King, blocking his way, and then said, “We haven’t finished talking, you can’t leave!”

The King sighed slightly. “Samiyi, your brother does all this for your sake. The world is very complex, and our kingdom is not that powerful, so I must protect you.”

“What about the others?” Samiyi pressed. “What about the other people in our kingdom? Do you not care about them?”

The King said coldly, “They are not my relatives, I can’t manage that much.”

Samiyi felt a throbbing pain in her head as she said, “When I was very young, my brother once told me that he wanted to be a great King, leading our kingdom to strength and prosperity, making sure everyone lived in happiness and joy.”

Calmly, the King said, “Those were just big words spoken by your brother in his youth, only when he became King did he realize how tiring it is to manage a kingdom. Not all countries can quickly advance to prosperity, the country you know as ‘C’ couldn’t even afford electricity fifty years ago; they spent a lot of effort to develop to the stage they are at now.”

“Then we should learn from them!” Samiyi said eagerly. “If they have the experience, we should learn from them. People say the people of ‘C’ are very kind, they will help us.”

“That would take a long time, we don’t have that much time,” the King said with a hint of sadness in his voice, as if he really was running out of time.

Samiyi didn’t sense it, saying, “If not in one year then in ten, if we can’t do it, let Laka try, and if Laka can’t manage, then his children will. Our kingdom will eventually become strong and wealthy!”

“There’s no time,” the King repeated, “Stop talking about it, I will protect you.”

“What do you mean there’s no time?” Samiyi didn’t want to hear more riddles from her brother. “Brother, you keep saying we’re out of time, but you are still young, and Laka is very young too. Can’t our kingdom fight for fifty years like other countries?”

The King was silent for a while, then asked, “Do you think that after I die, Laka can uphold the entire kingdom?”

As Laka’s aunt, Samiyi had watched Laka grow up, and she knew he was not a smart child, and he was simply too kind; kind people are not suitable to be Kings.

“It’s okay, Laka can still learn, as long as you keep him by your side, someday he will grow into an excellent successor,” Samiyi had blind confidence in Laka.

But the King just shook his head and once again said, “No more talking, some things are not for you to worry about. You should think about tomorrow’s poetry gathering instead.”

After he finished speaking, the King left. After the King had left, the maids who had initially disappeared suddenly appeared again, standing quietly around the room like beautiful statues.

Samiyi didn’t like this atmosphere and angrily said, “All of you go outside, I don’t want to see you.”

One of the maids replied, “Princess, we need to take care of you, so we can’t go outside.”

Samiyi glared at them with a cold look and said, “Are you here to take care of me, or to monitor me?”

The maids said nothing.@@novelbin@@

Samiyi didn’t bother arguing with them anymore; the argument with her brother had already exhausted her, and she didn’t want to waste energy on another dispute.

She had just sat down when a maid from outside came to tell her that Prince Laka had arrived.

Although Samiyi had serious objections to her brother, she still dearly loved her nephew Laka. Upon hearing that Laka was here, she quickly invited him in.

“Aunt, are you alright?” Laka asked anxiously. “I heard that you argued with Father, why did you argue again?”

Samiyi replied, “It’s the same old issue, I want to go out, but my brother won’t let me.”

Laka frowned and said, “Aunt, just wait a little longer, Father’s views are changing. I believe he will let you go out soon.”
