"I've already sent the former emperor to rest." The commander pretended to be calm as he spoke, suppressing the sorrow in his heart.
"That's good," Grand Tutor He said tiredly.
"Grand Tutor He ….. Are you really confident that the Condor Country will agree to our request?" The Commander asked worriedly.
A bitter smile appeared on Grand Tutor He's face.
"I don't have any confidence, not even ten percent. The reason the former Emperor ended up like this, wasn't it all caused by the Condor Country? I only said that to protect Your Majesty. Moreover … how can the late Emperor recover from his current state? "
The Commander lowered his head silently. In truth, all of them knew that Grand Tutor He's words of comfort to the little Emperor along the way were just words of comfort. All of them knew very clearly that to ask the Condor Country to act and cure the former Emperor was just a pipe dream. But they did not dare to say it, and could not say it, or the little Emperor would collapse.
The commander hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then His Majesty … I'm afraid it's hard to say in the future …"
Grand Tutor He said with a sigh. "We'll just muddle through, and drag it out for as long as we can. The Condor Country has invited all the rulers of the various countries to the Imperial Capital this time, and we do not know what they are planning. We must be extremely careful, and no matter what, we must protect His Majesty well."
The commander nodded firmly, but a look of regret appeared on his face.
"Back then, if it wasn't to save us, the former Emperor wouldn't have … We're useless, we couldn't protect the former Emperor …"
"That was the previous Emperor's choice. The previous Emperor had risked his life to protect all of you and all of you should protect his most important younger brother. Our Buckwheat Kingdom's Imperial Family's lineage has withered and the only remaining heir is His Majesty. No matter what, we must not let anything happen to him." Grand Tutor He said.
"Don't worry, Grand Tutor He! Even if it costs all of our lives, we will not allow the people from the Condor Country to touch a single hair on His Majesty's head! However, there is one point that this subordinate has always been unable to figure out, "said the commander.
"What is it?"
"Since the Grand Tutor already knew that the Condor Country did not have good intentions, then why ….. did we still accept the invitation to come here?"
Grand Tutor He sighed helplessly and said, "Why not? With the might of our Buckwheat Kingdom, how could we possibly stand against the Condor Country? If we had not come this time, the Condor Country would then have an excuse to raise their army. Do you think, that the Condor Country's army, would be able to hold them off? At that time, the country will fall and the people will perish … "
It wasn't that the Buckwheat Kingdom did not dare to resist, but they had no other choice.
The Qi Kingdom still had the Rui Lin Army. They still had hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight with their lives on the line, but what did the Buckwheat Kingdom have? The total number of the Buckwheat Kingdom's entire army did not even amount to a hundred thousand and as the terrain was surrounded by mountains, resources were scarce. The military resources within the kingdom were not able to support them and if war broke out, within three days, the Buckwheat Kingdom would definitely be destroyed!
Living in a tiny country, they had no other choice but to endure blindly. Who knew how deep the hatred in their hearts was?
The commander fell silent.
In the afternoon of the second day, the Condor Country's Emperor came out from the Imperial Palace and invited the rulers of the other countries in the Condor Country's Imperial Capital, to gather together in a courtyard for a short gathering.
The little Emperor was the youngest among them and Grand Tutor He had insisted on going with him. But the Condor Country's soldiers were extremely overbearing and they refused to allow it, bringing with them the Condor Country's Emperor's edict, that the rulers of the various countries were to go forth alone.
Grand Tutor He resisted repeatedly but was wounded by the Condor Country's soldiers. The Buckwheat Kingdom's Imperial Guards wanted to retaliate but they were no match for the Condor Country's sheer numbers and they were suppressed instead. Left with no other choice, the little Emperor was led away by the Condor Country's soldiers. Before he left, he turned his head back every three steps he took, not forgetting to protect Grand Tutor He.
"Grand Tutor, I'm going to go see the Condor Country's Emperor. I will tell him about my brother. Don't worry Grand Tutor, just wait here for me to come back."
