Chapter 1246 - Who Was Their Target? 2
Thinking of the shock on the faces of the envoys, Santa couldn't help chuckling up a bit.
They just never expected such a thing to happen to them here in Pyno.
Generally, they were proud and arrogant to those in Pyno and Lesser places because they were 99% sure that nothing would happen to them.
But when dealing with larger forces like Morgany, then they dared not act so boldly.
In fact, with other places of power, they were most likely to die from being the bearer of bad news.
And in Pyno, only the late Alec Barn could shake their confidence with his unpredictability.
He was the only person that other people had to think twice before making any sudden moves.
Not because they were scared of him... No... It was all because the man was an unpredictable, crazy-head who would act the complete opposite from the cowering people in Pyno.
If it were him, he would kill all messengers bearing bad news and damn the consequences too. For Alec, he looked down in every other place except Morgany.
So he wouldn't fear Veinitta either.
But with him dead and word long out, who would remain scared again?
.
Anyway, Carona and the other Pyno Monarchs had always cowered in fear at occasions such as this.
So the envoys marched in boldly with their noses raised when going to Carona with the list of written crimes and peace demands for Penelope's actions.
That is, they just barged in and acted all high and night before them, talking about RUBBISH!
For one, they mentioned that Penelope had dared to trick, sneak-attack and overwhelm a Veinitta prince of all people.
Which to them was punishable by death! But because she herself was a Monarch, they compromised by stating that she had to wed Prince Skye.
Of course, their version of the story was even more ridiculous!
As many can recall, Penelope beat the crap out of that Prince fair and square, even landing a powerful punch that almost knocked him to sleep in a flash.
So how did the story change to them overwhelming and sneak-attacking Prince Skye in numbers?
Well, maybe these people didn't want to believe that a woman beat their Prince Skye.
To them, it was disgraceful!
Well, they accused Penelope of numerous crimes, including stealing the Prince's engagement gift of gold and broken glass shards.
.
Additionally, they didn't see Prince Skye at all!
So they also accused her of doing something to him, saying that if they didn't produce him here and now, they would have no choice but to go to war with Carona.
In the end, they demanded that she find Prince Skye, marry him for peace to reign.
Yes. They wanted her to divorce her current husband, who, by the way, used to be an ordinary Merchant.
A merchant of all people!
They looked at Santa with disgust while looking at Penelope as if she were a loony person.
That is, who would see the dashing, tall, well-bodied Prince Skye and turn him down for the chubby, porky Santa?
It just didn't make any sense whatsoever.
But the woman who seemed to have a filter over her eyes or given some love potion had still chosen the porky pig instead.
They also demanded that Prince Skye should be given a few territories to govern. And, she also had to pay a yearly fee to the empire of Dafaren too.
Apparently, the fee was there to settle down the Dafaren Monarch's heart over all that occurred.
Bottom line, if she didn't comply with any demands listed, then it would mean WAR!
That's right, the Dafaren empire of Veinitta would battle it out with Carona of Pyno!
.
Penelope listened and waited for them to finish speaking before putting down a few demands of her own.
Firstly, she told them plain and simple that Skye was locked up in prison for his actions of trying to usurp the throne from her.
And if they wanted to get him back, their Monarch, Alexander Lockhart, had to contact her to work things out.
'You want your son, then let's talk!'
For one, Skye wasn't someone from Pyno.
And criminals could get transferred from one prison/dungeon to another.
That is, a prisoner could get transferred from a foreign prison to a prison in their home empire.
But the premise was that things had to get worked out between empires.
And if she felt that Alexander wouldn't punish Skye once he got transferred to Veinitta, then she could only insist on keeping him there until his term was over.
Skye had another 4 and a half years to serve before getting out. So he either sat still and came out when he was 27 or nothing.
.
Anyway, she told the royal team straight to their faces, which of course pissed them off.
Thus, they curbed their anger and left the Capital city 2 months ago.
Hehehhehe... It's funny because Penelope had also sent a massive team to escort them down, as well as take 80% of their treasures aboard their ships.
That's right. She wanted them to pay for all the 'emotional' and physical damages Prince Skye caused at her wedding.
Hey. Do you know how much destruction was left after the Baymardians began blowing up places like crazy?
Well... Someone had to pay.
And like so, Carona's problems were still doubling over. But what's even more impressive was that even now, the Royal fleet should still be on the road back to the Caronian Coastal port where they docked their ships.
Heh. Before they even travel all the way to Veinitta and head to its Capital city, another long-ass time period should've passed.
Sigh...
Just like Carona, the other empires had their issues here and there.
So now, they couldn't help wondering about these intruders who were headed for the Prison.
Who were they? And who in particular did they come to find?
