Honey : The Empire's Treasure 280 Back to the Academy

How is he so light on his feet?

"Let's go…" Ailwin tugged on his friend's arm. 

Inside the room, King Rychell had cleared the desk of everything concerning his and Voron research.

"Sit down." Ailwin took one seat and Braeden took the another.

Rychell didn't waste anytime on small talk and went straight to the point.

"You will go to the southwest to with your army to solve a issue there," King said as he opened up a fourth-dimensional map of Kaia Kingdom. "Somewhere here, in the southwestern border is a City that is having problems. Fix it."

"An issue?" Braeden wanted to make sure he heard this correctly.  There are dozen of meanings to what the issue could be, but is he not planning on tell us?

"Yes."

"What type of issue?" Ailwin didn't bother to question his father unusual request.

"I don't know, you'll find out when you get there."

"You don't know…?" Braeden started to raise his vioce at the King before Ailwin could stopped him. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

King went silent for a while before picking up several documents off of the table and placing it in Ailwin' and Braeden's hands.

"I'm sure you realized that the Kingdom's honey production has been suffering greatly due to the lack of healthy trees. Many clan have been hit hard by this problem let alone the common people. The clan leaders have been meeting to discuss this problem, but with no results."

Ailwin and Braeden skimmed the papers in their hands. They of course know about this problem first hand from when they went to stop the raids at the border of the Steppes.

Thinking about what happened in the Steppes, had both Ailwin and Braeden thinking about Mikaela for different reasons. 

"If it is about the trees wouldn't it be better to send in the agriculturists than an army?" Neither Ailwin and Braeden could understand why they had to go.

"Yes."

"So why are we going?"

"Sigh…" Moving the map again to show a close up of the southwestern region, King Rychell pointed at a certain location.

"The Fae in this area are going through raids and conflicts. It's would be too much to send just the agriculturists there."

"You want us to go to protect them…?"

"...yes." 

"Do the agriculturists have a solution." Braeden asked.

"Yes, hopefully soon. My people have been working on this problem since we first found out about. We just need a healthy wild honey tree." Rychell closes the map and gather the papers on the table.

"Hmm."

"My people will leave in a month. Have your men ready."

"Yes, your majesty." Ailwin got up and bowed with Braeden following right after.

Once out the door, Braeden wanted to discuss, but Ailwin stopped him with a finger to his lips.

At their rooms, he and Ailwin packed up their stuff and left the palace immediately. They didn't stop until they reached their shuttle. Doing a intensive sweep to make sure nothing was wrong with their vessel and no listening device were added in, they set off back to the imperial academy.

Back at the school, Lady Jaelah was sitting beside her younger daughter's healing pod for months now.

After stopping Kamryn from killing Lula, she had to beg the school to use their healers to help her daughters. Dean Eolith didn't want to be too cold hearted so he allowed the girls to receive treatment while he billed her for the services and damage done to the school.

Damn...blood suckers! Lady Jaelah cursed in her head thinking about the amount of credits.

She no longer had the wealthy Amara clan behind her, and it was no use asking her father's clan. They didn't want to feed her and Lula, let alone pay for her daughters' healing bills. She could only put the bill on Prince Thallan's tab. 

He started this...he can pay for it.

Tired and frustrated from arguing with Kamryn all day and watching over Lula, Lady Jaelah once again wondered when all her plans started to go wrong.

"Why can't it just work out for us…?"

"Mom…" Turning her head she saw Lula opening her eyes.

"Healer!" Jaelah called on the first healer she could find to check on her daughter's condition.

Checking the readings on the pod, the healer nodded his head and opened it for Lula to get out. Injuries healed up and blood levels back to normal. Lula was as good as new.

"Lula…" Jaelah hugged her youngest daughter while looking her over to make sure everything was really fine

"Mom...I'm alive." Lula thought about when she saw Kamryn's attacks coming at her, her body gave an involuntary shiver.

"Yes."
