After a few puffs I felt at peace. I knew Prince needed something from me so he forced me to lose my control by manipulating my emotions and tried to influence me. But I couldn't ask him any questions right now because he was the only one who was supporting me. In all this and whatever it was, I knew I would have to face him someday.Not today, not until I have some friends of my own with me, Who know more about this world than me and can help me. So I put it aside and said, continuing the conversation, "I think it is a profitable deal."
The Prince started talking nonsense again,
"What are you talking about? Where do you see any benefit in this? Only he is benefiting from all this. Look what are we giving them food, a way to help their vice leader recover and also providing them with the information of the main conspirator, We are doing three things and In return, what did we ask for from him – just power, and he is unable to give even that?"
I listened to Prince's nonsense very calmly. Then I continued saying,
"Prince, you are probably forgetting something?, let me remind you. First of all, the people of your kingdom have treated them badly for so many years. They have insulted them. They probably don't even consider them as human beings and suddenly one of those people gets up and comes and starts helping them, then What might they be thinking about me? They will think that I just want to use them as meat shields and when I'm done, I'll probably kill them myself and secondly, if I marry their daughter, they will be assured that I am not betray them and when they will be convinced of this, they will become both my sword and my shield on their fucking own will and let me tell you something very interesting, in the novel it was written that the clan leader and our protagonist mother fall in love with each other. If that happens, then automatically our hero will become this clan leader's son and they will do their to best to help him. So before our protagonist develops any relationship with them, we have to establish our own relationship with them. So that if anything like what is written in Novel happens in the future, there will be no danger for us."
Prince after listening reminded me, "Do you think that the girl they send with you will be just an ordinary girl No.. She will be their spy, she will inform them about your every move,
Marrying that girl means keeping a sword near your throat and you won't even know when it gets cut"
I was understanding what Prince was saying, But now I could not back off from this deal so I said, "Don't worry, I will manage this. I will ensure that any girl who comes to us doesn't share our information with anyone".
I told Prince my story and we went to sleep.
As soon as morning came, I reached the clan leader's room.
Braska was sitting comfortably in his room. I sat before him and took out that plant from his ring and placed it in front of him before saying, "this is the plant with the help of which your vice leader's life can be saved."
He was surprised to see the plant and asked me curiously, "Can you just take it out causally? We haven't signed anything yet. What if I cheat you?"
"You cannot cheat me, never, because the clan leader I know tends to repay others a thousand times for a small favour and here I am saving your tribe's ass, so you won't betray me
First you save her life, after that we will talk further."I said without hiding anything.
"And yes, if you don't know how to use it, let me tell you, first pluck the flowers of this plant. After that soak them in hot water for some time and make her drink that water, it will be enough to cure the poisoning and if you burn its leaves, then the smell that will comes out of them is good and in case there is any remaining poison in the system, it will also be eliminated."
