After listening to Edward everyone were shocked, while he was talking other servants too came to greet them but listening to what Edward was saying they became terrified any knelt down and lowered there heads. After becoming scared they calmed dome after sometime, both Margaret and Merlin were able to why Edward was saying like that as they too thought about these thing for past few days, they too were angry because of the betrayal but due they following the rules and staying as nobles for long time they weren't able to think in the way Edward thought.
Margaret: [ Although i get what are you saying but by doing this we will become thorn in every noble in the world, they all might even try to destroy our kingdom. So you should think it through before making any decision and also talk with your father and grandfather.] Margaret sighed and said to Edward after thinking about for long time. Merlin to sighed and she too agreed with what Margaret has said.
Edward: [ Yes mother what you have said might happen but have you thought about the current situation we are in, if we want to live then we have to destroy or defeat the invading army. Since a small kingdom was able to defeat the army of a large kingdom, do you think Crow-wood kingdom would take this kind of humiliating matter without taking revenge on us. If it does that they will become laughing stoke between other large kingdoms. Then they might try to take revenge on us by themselves or they also form alliance with the surrounding kingdom, since these kingdoms might think that we might take revenge on them because of the betrayal.
Since we are going to face these many kingdoms as enemies they why should we care about having other kingdoms as enemies too. There are wars happening everywhere for one to live others must be destroyed, so we have to do is to destroy all the enemies we would be facing in the future and to do that we have to get stronger than them. And i promise you now that i will make our kingdom much stronger that others won't try to become our enemies. ] Edward explained and promised in front of them.
Listening to his promise servants started crying with their head lowered and Margaret and Merlin were too crying but they were laughing too.
Merlin: [ Child today i see a real king in you, even though your father maybe a king he doesn't have guts to make every noble is enemy. What you have said is right, only when we are able to care and look out for the people then only they will work hard for the kingdom which will lead to more prosperous era. If we fear having multiple enemies then we will never be able to grow. To do that we have to become strong and defeat every enemy we face. Haha haha child i'm so gratified that you have guts to say that. God has really blessed us. haha haha haha ] Merlin said in happy tone, happiness and smile were shown on her face even though we can see few tear drops.
Margaret: [ Son, what ever you want to do we will follow you and support you, You are a grownup so this kind of things should be done by you. You don't have to worry we got your back. ] Margaret too said in happy manner.
Even though they were little bit complicated about the things as they were not used to this kind of things, they still tried to show their support and willingness to adapt for Edward. Seeing all the support and care he got from them Edward really felt happy for having new life. After that Edward appraised everyone and went to his room with followed by the three maids.
