457 Arrogant Captives
Everyone looked at the captives.... and sighed.
Sure enough, they were just spoiled brats.
And judging from the way they talked amongst themselves, one could tell that these princes were extremely stubborn, as they didn't even listen or wait for an explanation to their questions.
Instead, they were confident that they had come up with the right theory as to why they had been taken away from the Capital..... without even conforming their suspicions first.
They were really something else.
Landon looked at them and sighed as well.
Apparently, these were Penelope's brothers... the 1st Prince Robert, the 2nd Prince Asher, the and 3rd Prince Neeson.
And why had they been tied up and sent to Landon?
Well, that had to do with their obsession with the throne.
.
From what he had read, ever since Penelope became ruler of Carona..... these brothers had been constantly targeting her everywhere she went.
After Penelope's coronation years ago, Carmelo had posted these brothers to towns located on the outskirts of the empire.
They were to look after these towns and in a way, act like the town leader or Chief who would report all political decisions to Penelope.
But how could they be pleased with just governing a mere town?
It wasn't even a city for God's sake!
So rather than governing it, they squandered all the money meant for the town in trying to make an even stronger army so as to take Penelope down.
They also added new tax laws in their towns, and forcefully took the people's grains and other food as well.
But unbeknownst to them, Carmelo posted them there so as to test them.
So when he and Adrian heard of all that they had been doing, they had been utterly disappointed and immediately stripped them of that position.
For sure, even at that... these brothers didn't stop causing havoc or targeting their sister whenever they had the chance to do so.
They had even tried communicating with Nopline and other very powerful men and had asked for their help in aiding their sister step down from the throne.
The good thing was that they had never wanted their sister killed.
They just wanted to destroy her forces and make her step down
This alone showed that they weren't all that bad, compared to his own siblings who all wanted him dead instead.
.
Anyway, after close to a year of constantly bugging and disrupting many of Penelope's plans, the brothers had immediately been forcefully captured and brought back to the palace again.
And since then, they had been grounded in the palace for many years now.
Of course under strict observations, they were allowed to go out only once a week.
But even at that, these Princes had still tried to escape from the palace humorously.
In truth, for years now...their family didn't know what to do with them, especially Carmelo and Adrian.
But after seeing Beri and the rest of the Baymardian crew, Adrian suddenly had an epiphany and quickly discussed it with Carmelo, Penelope and Santa.
And so just like that, they shipped these Captives to Landon speedily.
Landon massaged his temples and smiled wryly.
From what the letter stated, it appears that they wanted these princes to train within the Caronian military Academy thin Baymard for 2 and a half years.
Landon thought about it for a bit and couldn't agree more with Adrian's vision.
Staying in the military would definitely straighten up their character to some degree.
And if they were truly lucky, it would straighten up their character completely.
Adrian probably wanted them to change, so that they could come back to Carona and finally aid their sister in looking after their beloved empire.
At that time, to test them, they might even be sent back to those towns that they had almost destroyed while governing.
If they could govern better, and completely earn the forgive the people in those towns..... then they might even be given more places to govern.
At least that's how Landon would try to test them if they did change.
But of course, everything was up to Penelope to decide where her brothers would be posted to.
.
"How dare you treat us like this?"
"You're Definitely a villain."
"What did we ever do to you?
Why are you so wicked?"
Landon twitched while folding the letters and listening to these Princes rang about heaven knows what.
"Gag them."
"Yes, your majesty!"
The soldiers immediately did as they were told, as they were already having a headache from listening to these Princes ramble on and on.
'Finally, some peace and quiet!' The soldiers thought.
As for the Princes who were currently being gagged again, their hearts were on fire with rage, as they looked like they would eat Landon alive any moment from honour.
Their faces were all red and distorted from all the screaming, as continuously tried to mumble and talk even in their current predicament.
"Hmmmmmm!!"
"Hmmmmhmmmhmmm!"
"Hmhmhmhmmmmm!"
Landon had to admit, even though they did seem somewhat childish.... even when they thought that they were their enemies, these Princes never backed down at all.
At least they had courage!
Hmm..... not bad.
.
Once the Princes were taken care of, Landon then relayed the overall situation to the Princes and soldiers.
Of course the Princes didn't truly believe it, and still felt like this whole setup was a conspiracy theory of some sort.
As for the soldiers, they quickly nodded in agreement to Adrian's plans for the Princes
With all that said and done, Landon continued focusing on the other priorities.
"Doctor Ragnar.... get the doctors and nurses in hour team to prepare as soon as possible.
Because tomorrow morning, we'll be leaving and heading straight back to Baymard.
And once the Pharmaceutical industry produces the cure, you all will come back again and aid in administering the cure."
"Yes, your majesty!"
With that, both the soldiers and the medical team did their best to prepare everything for their leave.
And so just like that the next day, Landon, Beri and their crew had finally left Ngum city.
