- What is the antidote to poison? - I asked, the alpha hesitated for a moment, but finally answered

/ He has no known antidote, but the dose will not be enough to kill His Majesty /

I sighed in relief, Azai will survive after all, the great weight he felt on my chest reduced his pressure.

- Who sent you? - I asked returning to my serious expression

/ The War Counselor /

<That damn old man ...>

- Where is that rat hidden? - I asked angrily

/ I don't know ... But I think that now that the rumor has spread that you have captured me, he will have gone to Ainer /

-It sounds familiar. Isn't the country to the northwest the one that became independent in the civil war? -

/ That's right, he will surely be convincing the king of Ainer that Kanor is now weak, this country has important reserves of gold, copper and iron, if the king of Ainer believes that this country is vulnerable he will attack without hesitation /

I shuddered for a moment, if a war breaks out it could be the end.

-Because of the information you have given me, I will present your life to you, but you will be here until I decide, Nuro, my personal guard, will take care of you- With that said, I removed his chains and left the cell, locking the door behind me.

When I came out of the dungeons Nuro was leaning against the wall waiting for me.

-You will take care of and watch over that alpha until further order-

/As you wish/

After the brief conversation I went to see Azai and inform him who was responsible.

"Azai, how are you?" I said softly as I caressed her face, her skin was now whitish like the clouds and it was cold like sea water.

^ I've been better ^ He said with a weak voice

-The one who gave the order was the war advisor, currently we believe that he is on his way to Ainer, if he arrives it is over-

^ We can't let that happen, until it's okay you have absolute control of everything, I trust you as my beloved ^

-You will not regret-

I turned around and looked for the general, no one will eat, drink or sleep until that old man is arrested.

After giving orders to the general and beginning the search and capture of the adviser throughout the country, I put the rest of the advisers under house arrest, it was a very strong decision and the local population may not see with good eyes that a foreign omega makes the decisions, but there is no other possible solution, from now on everything will be more difficult.

I went to the library and got all the books on politics, cartography, and the register of political agreements and non-aggression treaties.

Of all the countries only 3 could join Ainer, that was good, the bad thing is that two of them together dominated the entire northwest part of the Eishnir inland sea that bathes the north of the country, it is a big problem since Meifara is the most important city As far as trade is concerned, it is in that area, if they take it it could be a critical blow to the economy and a direct step to the rest of the country since the main roads of the rest of the cities in the area lead to it.

The entire northwestern area is also compromised, our potential enemy is a really strong country with a large and well-prepared army.

On the other hand, his main ally dominates the maritime war, having according to the books the largest and strongest warships.

Our only advantage is the great extension of the country, our army, although it is the largest on the planet, is not so well trained and Vaen's reinforcements would take more than a year to arrive, as it would take 7 months to send an emissary and another 7 months to arrive. that the soldiers arrive by boat so I am practically alone in a possible imminent war and at a disadvantage.

The more I read the more I despaired I would really need to make a lot of changes.

I called the guards who always escort me and asked them to go to the embassy and bring soldiers from my country.

After what seemed like an eternity they finally appeared.

/ What does your highness want? / Asked the soldier in command

-I need you to train the soldiers of this country in everything, martial arts, strategy even in geology and basic medicine, everything, there is a possible imminent war and the army is poorly trained. I also want you to recruit omegas, offer them equality, a good salary and freedom if they enter the army, we will make an elite platoon with the omegas, the enemy will not see it coming. –

/ As Your Highness ordered / The soldiers left immediately and I went back to my books.

I don't know when it happened, but it was already dark and I hadn't eaten anything since the night before, my stomach was roaring for food like a wild beast.

I got up and went to the kitchen where I took some fruit, after devouring 4 pieces of fruit I went to the room where Azai rested.

I opened the door gently only to find Azai already asleep illuminated by the dim light of a candle, he already looked better, his lips were beginning to regain their pinkish tone, although his skin was still pale.

Without making a sound, I snuggled up next to him and smelled his delicious aroma, laid my head on his warm chest and fell asleep from one moment to the next.
