I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 867 - War Preparations

With the meeting finally coming to an end, Henry's men decided onto different groups and given individual missions to do during these next few days.

Of course, they will work alongside the Baymardians diligently.

Henry was even more grateful to Landon.

Why?

Because he didn't even know that his father was this ill?

So if he weren't directed by Landon months ago, he would still be in another base far away, very clueless about the current facts.

Like he said, he never thought of being king.

It was only after meeting Landon that he changed his mind.

He was also very shocked that his second brother had chronically poisoned their father.

It looked like his second brother would have his men stationed and react to fight his first brother for the throne.

But these 2 weren't the only ones.

His 3rd and 4th brothers were at it too, alongside his 2nd sister, Eldora.

It looks like everyone had been preparing and planning for a long time.

And only he was left in the dark.

For sure, he had more siblings, as his father Julius bore 21 children with many wives.

So gave him 4 children, while others gave him 2.

And what was so funny was that his first brother, the crown prince, was just a day older than his second brother from another mother.

And in that same year, his 3rd brother was born too.

So all 3 were the same age.

His father just jumped all around his Harem, impregnating people here and there.

But what was so funny was that these 21 were the ones that survived the council's judgments.

.

The haram was a deadly place with all the women plotting against each other.

So his father should have had roughly 33 children.

But they were thrown away into the wilderness.

And at the same time, many of these children were secretly murdered before they were even thrown away.

Who would want an enemy living in hiding and waiting to take the throne?

Many of the harem's women paid heavily to have their enemy wife's baby killed secretly.

And even if the mother of these babies sent their guards to protect their child, one could never be too sure since the enemy could hire assassins or stalk that baby for life.

Bottom line, his father had a lot of children.

But from what brother Landon had told Henry, only his first 4 brothers, as well as his second sister, were ambitious.

Again, he had to watch out for 2 of his uncles from his father's side, who also wanted to take the throne alongside their families.

Heavens!

His enemies were many.

Luckily, he had brother Landon with him, or he wouldn't know how to face this storm alone.

He wasn't ashamed to seek help because at times, even a ruler needed allies that will come to their aid in emergencies.

Henry, Landon and their men quickly placed everyone in teams and went through their battle preparations, as well as the duties everyone would play on the day of the battle.

The day was long, and when night-time came, they all went to sleep swiftly.

Tomorrow was a busy day.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

They had successfully gone to dreamworld.

Meanwhile, all over The Capital City, several people were also making their plans as well.

.

--Rocky Peak Courtyard, Royal Palace, Deiferus--

.

A young, strikingly handsome man sat on an exquisite table that was filled with all sorts of delicacies.

The minds and servants around him waited on him patiently before leaving the room as fast as they could.

As they say, the more handsome the man, the deadlier he was, which was particularly true in the young man's case.

The man had a habit of always eating alone, as he didn't like to be disturbed casually.

So the maids and servants who knew his preferences hurriedly left.

Of course, some blushed and secretly dreamed of having a chance to trap this man and make him theirs.

After all, the man was Deiferus' crown prince, his highness Ulrich Tudor.

He was a man of steel to many and a dangerous one at that who instilled fear even to the old goggles that secretly opposed him.

Everyone knew that the current King Julius' life was hanging on a thread.

So if these women could latch onto Ulrich, then wouldn't they end up being related to the royals through pregnancy?

Of course, many knew that such a thing couldn't happen.

But there were always one or two that couldn't stop fantasizing about taking down their prince Charming.

.

With the room all cleared up, Ulrich slowly bit the food before him in silence.

And only after getting his feel did he push the dishes aside.

"Blue Wolf."

Swish.

"Master!"

Out of nowhere, a man dressed in all black popped out of the shadows and knelt before Ulrich, who still had a cup of wine in his hands.

He served the glass for a bit while staring blankly at the space before him.

"Report."

"Master, that Quibolt guy is still heavily guarding your father.

So this one failed in approaching them.

Quibolt was in high alert and didn't give me a chance."

"Hmm... I expected that.

After all, Quibolt is a legendary assassin who is heavily valued not just within the Pyno continent but within Veinitta and Morgany too.

So you will be spared from punishment."

"Thank you, master."

"Oh?

Don't thank me yet.

Even though you couldn't approach them, did you succeed in getting information from the physician?"

"Master, this humble servant did succeed.

This humble servant hid in the dark and listened to the physician's conversation with one of master's uncles.

The physician was having a conversation with Duke Bulkington."

Ulrich sneered when he heard of that greedy uncle of his.

Just yesterday, his men told him that the bastard tried to force his father to write a verdict making him king.

But his father refused.

And now, the bastard was there again, but this time, he went to see the physician.

"Master, the royal physician recorded that sometime within this week or next, your father should die."

Ulrich dropped a gr.a.p.e into his mouth and smiled.

Finally, the old geezer would die, leaving everything to him.

As crown prince, he knew that his father would leave it all to him.

So how, he just had to keep all pesky bugs away.

Luckily, he was fully prepared for these bastards.

He didn't know exactly when his father would die, but within this time range that the doctor had mentioned, he needed to be fully prepared at all times.

Since they want a fight, then he would give it to them because this empire wasn't big enough for all of them.

Only he could stand high up triumphantly.
