Prince replied in a slightly angry tone "you idiot, the person who just stopped the girl is the leader of the clan"
I was shocked to hear Prince's words. I kept asking him, "what are you saying, that guy is the leader of this clan. I mean not just this group but the whole clan".
The prince replied to my question in a straight forward manner, saying, "Yes he is the clan leader. What did you think the clan leader would look like?, wearing too many ornaments, too fat to be able to move around freely, always surrounded by some 40 to 50 guards....That's what you must have imagined him to be like tsk..tsk what were you even thinking? Is he a king of some place or something? He is just the leader of a small clan and that too of a Clan that is situated in the middle of a desert, a clan that always has problems with food and drinking, So it is general kmowledge that their leader would not enough accessories to groom himself, nor people to follow and what other options does he even have except roaming around in this desert in hopes of solving his people's problems."
After listening to everything Prince said, I asked him, "but how do you know that this man is the leader of that clan? And why do you think he doubts me"
Prince lazily answered my question,
"Because I am a prince and all the princes are prepared to become emporer from childhood. In this process, we are told about all the kingdoms around us and their royal families. We are shown their pictures and the picture I saw of this clan leader matches him exactly and as far as the answer to your second question is concerned, you will know it yourself when you go to their clan and don't panic; he won't kill you. At least not as long as you kill any of his people".
Prince did not answer my question fully. But I decided not d not ask him anymore because I knew, he was not going to answer any of my questions.
After walking for the whole day we reached his tribe and by the time we reached his tribe it was almost night,
I thought that they would kill me as soon as I reached the tribe. To my surprise, they gave me a place to sleep and food to eat, a maid came to my room and she also gave me food. I was amazed to see the food they served me It had four to five varieties.
I flatly refused her and sent out the food, I also told her to send their leader to my room.
Prince told me, "I know after testing the royal telecases you won't be liking these barbarians food I am no fan of their tasteless food either but sending it away is not a good idea, you are now in a foreign country as a Diplomat and
It is very much possible that the other party knows your identity. So I don't think you're in the position which allows you to behave at you please. The clan leader might think that we are disrespecting him and this can also spoil our relationship and whatever negotiations we are working on might end without even starting"
I simply ignored Prince's words and took some food from my storage ring and started eating.
I had just finished my food when the plan leader knocked at my door. I asked him to come inside and got up from the chair.
He came in and said, "Did you not like our food? Or Did you possibly think we'll poison you? You sent everything out?"
"Neither of them. I just thought that I did not inform your people of my arrival and if you suddenly have to give such a big chunk from your food out of politeness it could be place an unnecessary burden on your people."
The Clan Leader was shocked at what I said, 'Looking at you, I don't think that you can think so much about others?' He must be thinking you something along with these lines and I also wanted him to think, that I am a kind-hearted person.
So looking at him nonchalantly I added, "I thought you would bring four or five people with you But you came alone."
The leader looked at me from top to bottom and said, ".now you are not going to act all scared? Anyways, If I had to be enemies with you there was no need for four or five people to harm you, I alone was enough. But I don't want to be enemies with the second prince of Bluesta Empire Christopher Von Windsor."
I laughed at his words and said. "Got it now, tell me one thing how did you recognize me?"
Prince told me that this man might have recognized me. But he didn't say how So, I genuine wanted to know how did this man recognize me? So that I can never repeat that mistake again.
The clan leader had an expression as if saying 'what a pity' and said, "I thought you might be surprised after hearing what I said. I wanted to see your expression of surprise. You are always so calm that it is difficult to read anything on your face, But okay, no problem, you asked a question, I will answer that but you will also have to answer one of my questions...."
He paused and added, "I too did not recognize you earlier but both your eyes and your sword told me who you are"
"I changed my clothes. I changed my way of walking, I even changed my way of presenting myself, But you can recognize me by looking at my sword and my eyes, all my hard work has gone to waste"
I said and let out an disappointed sigh,
Clan Leader continued my point further and said, "The girl who attacked you was one of the most powerful among our warriors. When she fights someone, the opponent don't stand long. But you stood against her despite her sudden attack. This is proof that you were no ordinary man. There must be only a few people in this entire kingdom who can stand up to her and combined with those eyes of yours, whole continent knows that the royal family of the Bluesta Empire has aqua blue eyes, I was able to know who you were? "
