Honey : The Empire's Treasure 328 Who's In Charge Here? 4

"You must be mistaken to think I answer to you." Ailwin faced everyone in the room with a stony expression on his face.

The group of twenty trembled as they felt fear settle in the pit of their stomachs.

They were people who wouls spend all day in underground labs. Rarely would get to see, let alone feel the strength Prince Ailwin was exuding right now.

Beside the King's people, Kaze, Hycis, Celaena, Nylian and Ruven were having troubles of their own breathing in the same room as Ailwin. The only one who was unaffected was Mika, this didn't shock Ailwin was he had witness his little fiancée might before.

Althought Ailwin wasn't surprised, Nylian and Ruven were thoroughly amzed by this.

Mika, who was so busy watching the fun, didn't realize that she unknowingly gave herself a way.

"A Prince of your country is in your presence and none of you think to show courtesy." With his words the twenty people almost stood up simultaneously and bowed in greeting to their Prince.

Adamar was the last one to do so as his face was quickly swelling up to twice its size, and his whole body was hurting from being hurled onto the coffee table.

 "P-Prince ilwin…" Adamar's jaw could barely move to say the greeting.

"Do you people think my orders are for show?"

"N-no, sir…!" The group could feel the pressure in the room rising again.

"Then why are you here!" Ailwin slammed the desk making it creak and groan under the force. "Answer me." The group made up of both male and females adults look to Adamar.

"Sir...we...have orders...to…." Adamar's voice was so low now that no one would have heard it if it wasn't for the room being so silent.

"Oh? And what might those orders be…" Ruven cursed underneath his breath as he watched Adamar about spill the beans. He wanted to stop him, however when he was about to open his mouth to say something he noticed Ailwin's eyes intently watching him.

Why is he looking at me? Does he know something…?

Ruven didn't know for sure if the reason Prince Ailwin was looking at him was because he knew something or if he was imagining the stare, but Ruven made the wise decision to keep his mouth shut. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"P-prince Ailwin…" Adamar remained bowing, afraid to lift his head as he spoke.

"What."

"We were sent here by the Kin-"

"I'm aware of that. I'm asking you, what is the work your are sent here to do?"

"The Kin-"

"If you mention the King one more time, your head will roll." 

Adamar's tactic to shove the King's authority in Ailwin's face backfired on him. In front the Prince's tolerance level, Adamar's pride was nothing.

"Y-yes...I-we! We were sent here to help the Ki-your superiors find a special tree." Adamar spill all the beans pertaining to the work they have been doing for the King.

"Hmm...? Why is this tree so special?" Ailwin's eyes was back on Adamar when he saw that the man willing to tell him all that he knows.

"It's supposed to be the first tree planted by the late Queen....a.n.a.lise." This statement made Adamar, had the whole room stunned; well...everyone except Mika. Who was happy that she has a mask covering her face as she knew her facial expression would have been readable to anyone.

"Queen a.n.a.lise...tree?" Ailwin didn't realize he spoke out loud until Adamar again answered him.

"Yes...yes," Feeling a little more confident now, Adamar stood up from the floor and face Ailwin. "The King believes that the late Queen's tree still lives and may be the key to helping us cure whatever is happening to the honey trees in our Kingdom." 

"Bulls.h.i.+t!" Drago, who had been silently watching everything thus far from Mika' mind's s.p.a.ce, cried out his outrage.

"Quiet. We need find out if they know where the you are located and any other information this man is willing to give...so shush down and let me listen." Mika stopped Drago from continuing his tantrum in her head.

"Do you know where it is?" Ailwin tried to contain the spark of hope that bloomed in his voice, but Mika still heard it.

"No, not yet...but we…" Adamar gestured to the people that came with him, "...were sent here to meet with a person who can give us the information on where to look."

"Who is this person?" Ailwin glanced once again at Ruven at the door, thinking it was him.

"Lord Elre."

 The energy in the room changed once again when everyone heard who this group of people were looking for.
