Caspian waited for the ministers to reply to his questions. However, the ministers simply clutched the armrest of their chairs or clutched their fists and then maintained silence in the hall.
The King felt a little agitated by that reaction from the ministers and asked in a stern voice, “Don’t act as if I always suppress all of you and coerce you into agreeing with all my decisions.”
Zenon awkwardly smiled to himself and thought, ‘But that’s how you make them feel by shouting or simply glaring at them…’
After hearing the King say that, a minister finally dared to put forth his view though. “I agree with Lord Zenon here. I think waiting a few days to cross-verify the truth of the letter is our best option at the moment. If a war can be avoided by simply accepting the apology then I think waiting does no harm.”
Soon, the other ministers also agreed one by one.
Even Caspian wasn’t willing to sacrifice the life of his valuable soldiers just to satisfy his thirst for revenge.
