Chapter 98: Turn Of Event

Cian who heard him calmly, spoke, "Minister of foreign affairs, Minister Darus count, so you believe anything that brings misfortune and harm to the kingdom has no right to be in this kingdom? Did I get it right?" Cian asked.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Harm to the kingdom! What does it include?" Cian asked.

Anything that affects the growth of the kingdom and the peace of its people."

"Then, the deep-rooted corruption which is rotting the strong base of this Kingdom like a slow poison, can we consider it as a sad misfortune that brings harm to the kingdom?" Cian asked again.

Hearing it, so many people had their palms sweaty.

"That is a different case, Prince Cian. Here we are talking about the wicked powers that should be cut off from this kingdom."

"Good to know the minister didn\'t blame their instinct of corruption on the so-called black magic performed by the third princess. Or I was waiting to hear that black magic is the thing which has corrupted everyone\'s mind."

Darus count was taken aback by this remark.

Minister of Treasury, Minister Tudor came forward to counter it. "What Prince Cian said makes sense. What if it is also a part of her black magic- bringing misfortune by corrupting the loyal subjects of this kingdom?"

Cian smirked, "Is it?"

"I believe so," Minister Tudor agreed.

Minister Darus count could see something behind that smirk on Cian\'s lips and spoke, "Let\'s not take it that far. Focus on the disaster caused in the palace…."

"If we are at it, today let\'s clear all the misfortunes in this kingdom get rid of all at once," Cian interrupted Darus Count and looked around the court, "I believe everyone thinks the same as me."

All the ministers from the left stood silent while those loyal to their king agreed to Cian\'s suggestion. "We agree to it, Your Highness!"

Cian looked at King Armen, "Your Majesty, should I?"

King Armen nodded lightly, "Proceed!"

King Armen trusted his son\'s abilities and waited to play his part as the judge of the argument.

\'As expected, King Armen would always side with his son,\' is what others thought and waited for Cian to continue.

"Your majesty, when I was in the north region of the Kingdom, I came across some shocking things and deep-rooted corruption caused by the self-proclaimed loyal subjects of this kingdom," Cian informed.

He turned to look at the minister Tudor, "I have looked through the import of copper in the kingdom from Hatha since we have started trade with them in the past. A huge part of the imported copper was missing every time and no one had taken notice of it. Moreover, this has been happening for more than the last twenty-two years when the Kingdom was not in a good state after the demise of the previous queen." Cian looked at the ministers, "Do I need to explain more about it, Minister Tudor and Minister Darus count?"

"It\'s..an unfortunate thing," said Minister Tudor.

"Of course it is and minister Tudor should feel ashamed of it," Cian said straightforwardly.

"Prince Cian should look at how he is talking to the respected minister," Minister Darus count said.

"Eliot!" Cian called.

Cian\'s knight came to him and handed him over a scroll and old-looking record books.

Cian looked at Minister Todor, "All the evidence is here," and passed it to Darus count and some of them to King Armen, "I hope minister Darus can assure you minister Tudor about the validity of this evidence."

Darus count went through it and feeling shocked he looked at minister Tudor as if saying now there was no way out for him.

Cian continued, "We all know, we need that copper to create the currency coins as apart from silver and gold, that is the only metal we use," he looked at Minister Tudor with a doubtful look, "Being the minister of the treasury, was minister Tudor planning to create the copper currency at his home after stealing it from the kingdom\'s treasury?"

Minister Tudor looked scared, "I dare not…."

"Then where did all that copper go that you had stollen for more than twenty years. I am sure there are more people involved in it."

Minister Tudor immediately kneeled to the king, "Your Majesty, there is some mistake. Someone is trying to frame me."

Cian chuckled as he looked at the kneeled minister, "You dare accuse an innocent girl without proof but when you see the proof against you, you don\'t? want to believe it."

Minister Tudor called out for the king. "Your Majesty…"

"Berolt, arrest minister Tudor right away and put him in prison," The king ordered and Sir Berolt followed his order.

The old minister could only call out King\'s name as a pleading.

Once they left, King Armen looked at the official from the Royal investigation bureau, "Minister Canmore, investigate everything regardless of the status of whoever is involved in it."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Minister Canmore bowed.

King Armen who always lacked the proofs against his brazen ministers, finally had something in his hand thanks to his son who had been sent away from the Kingdom for the same reason.

King Armen looked at everyone in the Royal court and everyone heard their king\'s loud commanding and threatening voice, "Corruption is considered treason. The guilty ones will get the punishment that is given to the one who commits treason. Not just the minister but his entire family will be banished from the kingdom and sent to an exile to never be able to return. Whoever is involved in any kind of treason will have a similar punishment."

The ministers who were confident about getting King Armen down by trapping him with his weakness- His third daughter, were all scared inside with this sudden turn of events.

The first agenda in the royal court ended up favoring the King\'s side but there was another one that was ready to create another trouble.

Darus Count was waiting for it as it was the last resort of his plan to get the third Princess out of the Kingdom and please the Queen.

All the while Queen Niobe was just silent as she was only waiting for this last thing.

Lord Eudes picked up another scroll and handed it over to the king. The next item in the agenda was- The Third Princess went out of the palace and harmed the innocent people by colluding with the unknown man red-eyed man.
