Chapter 1407: Future 1406
“How many more years should I wait?” Samiyi had no hope, “I’ve already waited ten years, how many more decades can I wait? If I still have to wait another 50 years, by then I’ll be old, and there will be no need for me to see the outside world.”
Thinking for a moment, Laka replied, “Let’s sneak out. Father has agreed to cooperate with TR Company, and this is a good opportunity.”
Samiyi looked around and then said, “All of you go outside, I have something to say to the Prince.”
The maids obediently moved outside, but they did not go far, so when Samiyi and Laka talked, they could not speak too loudly, otherwise, they would still be heard.
Seeing that everyone had gone out, Laka then shared his plan. “Many people from TR Company are here, a third of them are female staff. If you can blend in with them, you’ll be able to leave the palace.”
Samiyi felt this method was too risky, “If it’s discovered, it could cause trouble for them too. Moreover, they are here to work, there’s no need to offend the King for my sake.”
Laka said, “Miss Tan Rou is smart and kind, she will surely have a way. Also, I’ll let Lin persuade her… ”
“No need.” Samiyi interrupted Laka, “Laka, don’t trouble others, let’s solve our own problems ourselves.”
Laka did not insist further. He turned and brought up the recent argument, “Aunt, Father is also very tired. Sometimes you should just give in a little, don’t argue with him anymore.”
Samiyi was also very tired at heart, “I really don’t want to argue with him, but every time I talk a little more with him, I get very angry, and then I can’t help but fight with him. As his sister, I see all his hardships, but I can’t understand his actions.”
“Father probably thinks that cooperating with other countries is too dangerous.” Only after going out did Laka realize how far behind his own country was compared to others. What good is it that the royal family is rich? The development of a country depends on everyone, not just a few people in the royal family.
Leaning her forehead on her hand, Samiyi sighed, “The future of this country really worries me.”
The atmosphere in the room was oppressive, and Laka knew he was not clever, neither good at sweet talking nor at handling affairs. Thus, he could only stay behind others, being practically a mascot.
He also wanted to change, but he truly lacked the capability. Why couldn’t their country have a queen? He thought his aunt fit the role perfectly.
“Did you find Ajira?” Finally alone with Laka, Samiyi took the chance to inquire about Ajira.
“Not yet; he seems to be no longer in the royal city.” Laka’s ability was limited; he could only ask trusted friends to look for Ajira in the royal city, but they found nothing.
The King didn’t like Ajira; he allowed Ajira to live in the palace, but neither let him study nor leave; sometimes he even treated him like a little servant.
Samiyi and Laka saw this and it pained their hearts, but they could do nothing to stop it. For if they did, it would only result in harsher punishment for Ajira.
Many times, they wanted to send Ajira away, but the King’s surveillance was too strict; there was no chance to get Ajira out.
They didn’t know how Ajira managed to escape, but when he did, both Laka and Samiyi felt somewhat relieved, thinking at least Ajira wouldn’t have to endure oppression anymore.
But they couldn’t let Ajira be alone outside, he was not yet ten years old and had no capability to protect himself. If he were to wander outside, he would likely die soon.
The best method was to get Ajira to his father, but the gardener had recently been absent from the palace, and Samiyi couldn’t get a message to Kas.
“I understand.” Said Samiyi in resignation: “Tomorrow, I’ve arranged to meet Miss Tan Rou, she has agreed to come see me, and I must persuade her to help me pass the message. Whatever I can give to her, whatever she demands, I will agree.”
Laka had no other plan to think of; each time he went out, he was heavily guarded, and never had a chance to go out alone. If it were possible, he would have already gone to look for Ajira himself.
All they hoped was that Ajira would encounter kind people and not face any dangers.
