章 36: Chapter 36: Request

"Del, request an audience to my sister" Cairo said to his guard and a magic phone appeared on top of Del's hand

A screen appeared on top of the flat black device with a button in the middle and Del types some words and sent them to the Queen

Del doesn't really know what Cairo wants to accomplish but he suddenly had a feeling that it is something that will benefit the whole Kingdom

Also, knowing Cairo, he won't request an audience with his busy sister if it was just nothing. In fact, although Cairo clearly yearned for a time to be with Kira, he never asked her to accompany him in consideration of the busy schedule that his sister has

Inside the Royal Court, Kira was reading some documents as usual before she felt something. A similar device appeared on top of her palms and she read Cairo's request to see her

Kira can't help but feel some joy in her heart. Although she is busy, she also wants to be with her younger brother. Too bad that Cairo also has a lot of mature sides. He knew that she is busy and Cairo never asked to meet her

However, since this is the first time that Cairo asked for her, it made the Queen's heart a bit disturbed and she feared that something bad happened to her brother

Kira immediately type a response and informed Del that Cairo can see her anytime that he wants

"Your Majesty?" One of the old officials inside asked at seeing the disturbed expression on Kira's face

"Distribute the documents among all of you and send it back to me after finishing it. For now, you are all dismissed" Kira ordered to the old men and women around her

Seeing work, the workaholic officials' eyes brightened. Perhaps, in the whole Kingdom, people like them are rare. Most people wouldn't want to be given additional jobs but these old officials were more than happy to receive more work

The old men immediately distributed the paperwork among them before excusing themselves, leaving Kira alone in her throne in the Royal Court

After a few minutes, Cairo finally arrived along with Del and Kira gave them a sweet smile. She rarely sees Cairo after becoming the Queen and she misses the kid a lot

As soon as Cairo arrives, he immediately stated what he wants. "Sister, I have a request!" Cairo said and Kira was more than happy to fulfill his request

"What is it?" Kira asked with interest, this was like the first time that Cairo is this eager to request something from her

"Sister, can you let the parasite researchers continue their research? I need them to make a certain parasite for me" Cairo said with hopeful eyes and the smile on Kira's face vanishes

"What do you need the parasites for? Although my late father is hated by many, his decision of stopping those researchers are seen as the right thing to do. If they invent a parasite that has a high concealing ability, it can affect all of us. Their research field is dangerous if they used the parasites against us" Kira replied and Cairo furrowed his brows

"B-but sister ... they are slaves, they won't be able to harm us, right?" Cairo asked and Kira sighed at that. Cairo has too little of a time learning about the world. He can grasp concepts easily but his mind is still young

"The night I have found you, we helped both the villagers and the slaves of that Gang. John managed to remove the slave bindings that the slaves have. Turning a person into a slave is not absolute, mages that have more knowledge about runes and formations can remove or tamper the slave bindings. Letting those mage research on their fields is simply too dangerous" Kira replied and Cairo was surprised at that

However .... if Cairo succeeded, it will not only help himself. It will also help the Kingdom. Cairo doesn't care that much about the Kingdom but it can provide him with resources, protection, and knowledge. His sister is also exerting a lot of effort in protecting the Kingdom, how can Cairo just watch on the sidelines?

Cairo knew that making the parasites that can make Crystal Soul Shards will benefit everyone, he doesn't want to give up on it or waste a lot of time researching parasites himself

Cairo underestimated the difficulty of making such a rare and important treasure. It would take a long time for someone at his level to replicate the parasite

Cairo moved his hands and holds Kira's hands with them. "Sister, I want to help you too. If I succeeded, I would reach the standards of the truly talented mages in the Kingdom. My teachers will stop convincing me to become an official mage as soon as possible" Cairo said and Kira was extremely shocked at his bold words

There are literally thousands of mages at Cairo's age that can defeat him with a single move. Kira knows that Cairo also has an idea about how far the difference between him and the talented mages

The two didn't really talk much about it but both of them know that the current Cairo is only 'not so bad' in terms of his magical achievements. It was Cairo's brilliant mind that can see through things easily that is his selling point and a brilliant mind is different from having high magical comprehension!

If the comprehension is too high, it will also make the mage stronger and no matter how brilliant Cairo's mind is, he can't possibly defeat a raw power that can smash mountains apart with a single attack

Cairo is extremely aware of things around him and for this kid to say that he can reach the genius level of the Kingdom if he succeeded, how can it not shock Kira?

The Queen knows that Cairo is not the type to claim something like this easily!

In the end, Kira sighs and she can't possibly refuse Cairo at this time especially after seeing the fire burning in his eyes

"Fine, but I need to raise my guards towards them. My approval can have serious consequences but you are smart and I know you can understand it" Kira said and Cairo immediately broke into smiles

"Sister, I also have a way to prevent them from betraying us even if the slave bindings have been tampered!" Cairo said and Kira listened to him with interest

If Cairo can really prevent betrayals, there is a high chance that Kira can also implement his plan in a broader range. The Kingdom is in a shaky position and there are surely a lot of spies that entered it

Spies are an eyesore and the Larton Kingdom needs to discover them before they can give irreversible damages to the Kingdom

"I only realize now that the slave bindings can be removed and tampered with. But as long as the slave has their original slave bindings, they will tell us the truth and they will never lie"

"We can remove the slave bindings of the slaves every day and change it to a new one. As long as the bindings were removed, the slaves can confess to us that they were being used"

"Even if they do not confess in fear, as long as we can put another slave bindings to them, they would still spill the truth. And for added security, we can randomly choose the person that will change the slave bindings for a specific day. I doubt that an enemy will be able to control all the people in the Kingdom that can make a slave binding" Cairo proposed and whether it be Kira or Del, both of them were really surprised

Cairo's achievement in magic might be limited due to how short of a time he spent with it but his mind is really brilliant! He can think of plans that will ensure his safety and Kira can use those plans for the betterment of the Kingdom

"Cairo, you are the best" Kira said while patting Cairo's head. With the idea that her brother gave, Kira can formulate more plans

Kira and the others were always on guard for the spies and that is preventing them from doing a lot of things as they might be discovered by the other Kingdoms but with Cairo's plan .... spies can be eliminated!

This simple idea of Cairo already enabled Kira to see several possible things that it can be used

"Thank you" Kira sincerely said and Cairo just gave her a simple smile

"It is nothing" Cairo answered. Compared to all the things that Kira gave to him, this simple idea of his is really nothing. "I'll continue my cultivation now, sister" Cairo said much to Kira's bitterness

Cairo really met her just to say his request before deciding to ignore her again for cultivation. What Kira doesn't know is that Cairo also doesn't want to take too much of her time and it would be better if he just continue cultivating
