"I say that, but considering the circumstances and timing, the enemy didn’t really planned on using Wumi clan that way." – said Oron.

"?"

"What do you mean?" – asked the dragon king.

"Well, it is as it sounds." – replied Oron.

"Simple put, they were planning on using you in different way all together, but because the mine made its sudden appearance, the enemy needed to change their plans."

"Honestly speaking, based on our investigation, it would point out to this exact scenario."

"However, there is now new problem."

"What they were originally planning to use Wumi clan? Maybe they were also planning on taking control over other clans and have them join the traitors?"

"...Honestly, it would make sense." – said the dragon queen.

"They were planning on having us fight each other, in order to weaken us, before then finish us all of."

"..."

(Honestly.... No... It is annoying to admit it, but he maybe right.) – thought the dragon king as he clenched his fists.

(They were planning on using as a tools from the beginning!?)

"..."

"Tell me, do you suspect any clan to be preparing for the war?" – asked the dragon queen.

"...Honestly speaking, we still haven’t really obtained anything yet." – said annoyed Oron.

"Or more exactly, we didn’t obtained any information about the enemy directly making any move."

"The rumors of the traitor being one of the clans straight up forced the enemy to either hide or completely stop their preparations in order to not leave any tracks."

"In other words, the rumors and the conspiracies that we had spread around had pinned down the possible traitor clan from moving."

"If what you told me is true, that one of the possible heirs of the Kai’ku’dan clan are the culprit, the rumors may had pinned them down as well."

"Even if the rumors would die down, the fact remains that the people at least HEARD about them."

"And the moment one of the heirs start making their own faction and being noticeable forceful or weird, people will instantly gaze at them with suspicious."

"Hm... So, your goal was to plant a poison?" – asked the dragon queen.

"Pretty much." – replied Oron.

"Honestly speaking, considering how things were going, there was a good chance that the war may end up happening somewhat early, if anything, there was a possible that the war would be already here today."

"The enemy is just that annoying and they had already made too much preparations."

"And you can thank THIS fucker again for getting in my way." – said Oron.

"I could had tracked those freaking elves back to their master, but no. They went into the hiding the moment he started spreading the truth."

"..." – the dragon king remained silent.

"I get that you are pissed and everything." – said the dragon queen.

"But may I ask. Do you know anything more?"

"..."

"Honestly, this is just speculation just yet, but we don’t have any direction conformation." – said Oron.

"Or to be more exact, it is my own personal speculation."

"At first I thought the fiancé, the main suspect behind the brainwashing, may had left the dragon empire in order to not leave any possible traces."

"However, if what you told me is true, then there is without a doubt fiancé still in the play."

"She could be already be on the move."

"Who needs to say that she needs to control entire clan?"

"What if she takes control of the leader of the clan and start making them do somewhat reasonable, but negative moves?"

"...So are you saying that one of the clans may had already been partially taken over?" – asked the dragon queen.

"Again, this is nothing more than my own speculation." – said Oron.

"But if what you told me is 100% truth, then this speculation has extremely high chance of being the truth."

"I see." – said the dragon queen.

"...Is there anything you want to ask now?"

"..."

(Honestly, I have shit ton of questions... But there maybe a chance you may lie or give me false information to mislead me.) – thought Oron who still didn’t trusted the dragon queen as he suspected her of being the possible traitor.

(The dragon king doesn’t seems to be mind controlled again through... But again.)

(This guy is a somewhat idiot... No. Can’t trust them, just yet.)

"No." – replied Oron.

"If you don’t have any other questions yourself, then I will be going."

"...No. We also don’t have any." – said the dragon queen.

"Thank you for agreeing for this meeting."

"And goodbye."

"..."

"Goodbye." – said Oron before then disappearing into the shadows.

"..."

As the man disappeared into the shadows, the two dragons quickly went on the move and approached the main door of the warehouse, knocking on it 5 times in rhythm... Before moments later a material transport carriage arrived, which the two dragon kings boarded while also taking out a common looking cloaks and covering themselves with it.

The carriage was filled with several crates, before moments later the carriage driver throve off from the warehouse.

"..."

Oron observed from the distance the carriage from the top of the building, fully knowing that the two dragon rulers were inside.

"...Tch." – but he gave up on stalking them as he went his own way, leaving the carriage.

As for the carriage that had the two dragon kings, it left the city and headed towards a forest near the city.

"..."

"Okay, this will do." – said the dragon queen as the carriage stopped, allowing the two dragon rulers to leave their transport, which then went on by itself, leaving the two dragons behind.

"..."

"What do you think?" – asked the dragon king of the Wumi clan.

"Well... I still... No. I’m sure of this." – replied the dragon queen of the Wo’won clan.

"That man was without doubt grand duke Oron from the Garog empire."

"...Shit." – said the dragon king.

"...But still, I don’t think they want to war to happened to occur."

"Yeah, it honestly looks like me too." – said the dragon queen.

"Maybe they do not trust their own allies or maybe they realized that something was wrong... But either way, I can say this with full confidence."

"The Garog empire are currently not our enemies."

"They cannot operate openly here, but they wish to deal with the trouble here."

"..."

"Still, the fact that they got involved... Honestly is worrying to say the least." – said the dragon queen as she sat down on the tree trunk.

"...Are you worried they may end up becoming enemies later on?" – asked the dragon king.

"No. Not that." – replied the dragon queen.

"..."

"There could be 3 reasons why."

"First, is maybe most obvious."

"The Forgotten World items."

"Apparently, the Garog empire is hunting for them, aiming to stop the world renown terrorist known as the ’benefactor’."

"Him... Huh?" – said the dragon king.

"I’ve heard about him and what inhuman shit he did in order to obtain the Forgotten World items."

"Yeah... And honestly, the more I’ve looked it up, the more I’ve realized how screwed up that ’benefactor’ really is."

"He is far too dangerous."

"...And honestly speaking, would it really surprise us if the ’benefactor’ joined in?"

"?!"

"Wait, you mean to tell me that this mad man maybe planning on helping out the traitors!?" – asked the worried dragon king.

"Again, this is just possibility... That man didn’t said anything himself too, so maybe it isn’t the case... MAYBE." – said the dragon queen.

"We honestly do our own investigation in that area."

"...What about the other two possible reasons?" – asked the dragon king.

"Well, the second is more straight forward one." – replied the dragon queen.

"They don’t trust their own allies, the Pyrgos clan."

"They are maybe suspecting them of being the traitors and they are trying to find out what to do."

"Like to help them out, or cut off their connection."

"?"

"But didn’t they had a political marriage? If I remember correctly, one of the princesses of the Pyrgos clan married the emperor ClownFrog." – said the dragon king.

"Yeb. They did... But again, we don’t know HOW deep their relationship is. We do know that the Pyrgos clan and the Garog empire have an open trade between each other and what not."

"But again.... Hm..."

"..."

"Maybe the Pyrgos clan wants to go the war while the Garog empire don’t?"

"Or maybe Garog empire think that the Pyrgos clan maybe aiming to betray them?"

"I honestly don’t know... There could be a many reasons going on."

"There is also a question if the Pyrgos clan even knows about what Garog empire is doing or not."

"..."

"And what about the third speculation?" – asked the dragon king.

"Well... It is honestly simple as well." – replied the dragon queen.

"The Garog empire maybe planning on forming an alliance with our whole Mawoak empire."
