Chapter 576 Setting things in motion
Although he was extremely hard pressed for time , he knew that some things needed to be given higher priority as he drafter a letter for pope Francis asking for reinforcements about his upcoming war.
Rudra only wrote facts within the letter , however he did present a biased view about the situation that made it look like he was fighting evil for justice and mankind and not for selfish reasons , but except that everything he wrote was facts and the situation did seem grave after one read the disparity in army strength .
Naturally Rudra did not mention about his own Trump cards and talked about army size vs army size and how he needed the best support the church could give for his kingdom and his people.
Rudra also did not forget to put in phrases where he praised the Goddess's greatness and mercy and her drive to fight back evil as he hoped to earn brownie points in the Pope's support , as he dispatched Cardinal Lee from the church's office in Purplehaze city with the letter after he wept infront of him like a little boy trying to melt his heart.
It was all overacting on Rudra's part but cardinal Lee was a gullible man and he bought everything that Rudra said , as he took the letter with shaky hands and promised to deliver it safely to the pope and make a plea for his cause .
Was it worth it? Rudra would know once the help was sent , however it was imperative that he sent the call for help now and not later because armies were not readied and dispatched in a day and took time , while leaders on the Pope and Emperor Cervantez's level also liked to send in their troops prepared rather than on a short notice.
Hence after Rudra dispatched Cardinal Lee he also wrote a letter addressed to Emperor Cervantez where he wrote different kind of BS according to his understanding of the emperor and what worked best on him.
However he decided to give the letter to Patricia personally , as not only did he need to talk to Patricia about the coming tier 4 promotion that he needed to do at once , but also about the coming war and how he might abandon her one dream of him becoming knight of the emperor .
She was the only person that Rudra owed an explanation to as when he was nothing but a tier 0 brat she gave him undeniable support and respect, both military and financial for which Rudra was eternally grateful.
However , all that would not stop him from limiting himself on his brighter future , he was not that kind of a emotional fool but at the same time he was also not the kind of scum that would not have the guts to confront their benefactor face to face before making such a big leap.
Hence for these reasons , Rudra urgently departed for the new capital of Hazelgroove Empire on a hired flying mount , as even though it costs him 50,000 gold for the fastest eagle . Right now time was more important to him than money.
It took him exactly 40 minutes to reach the capital as he instantly rushed towards the freshly built Won Knight Mansion there as the guards outside saluted him with reverence as they opened the gate wide for Shakuni Won Knight!
Reaching the mansion , Rudra practiced all that he wanted to say in his mind once before opening the door and walking into Patricia's study.
Patricia's cat ears wriggled as did her nose as she smiled and said " So you finally miss your sister eh ? ".
She was writing something in a book , and although she did not turn to face Rudra , she knew he was there and she was happy.
" How many times have i told you , if you have free time then go date men or something , why are you wasting time inside the mansion ". Rudra teased Patricia as he wanted to gel things over before he broke the news to her.
" O please , it's not like i don't want to but it's very hard to find good men who are not intimidated by me , i am smart , strong and have more political power than their 70 generations combined , that intimidates the male ego , so unless there is a dashing king willing to date me , i am single ". Patricia made a very logical reply and deflated Rudra's tease as Rudra clicked his tongue in annoyance .
" Tch , sophistry ". He said as he smiled , while Patricia closed the lid on her pen and turned with a bright smile of her own .
" So what brings you to big sister ? ". She asked as she knew that Rudra was a prick who never came for no reason at all and definitely wanted something from her .
As Rudra nervously laughed and said " I have kind of reached the threshold to become tier 4 , can you help me on how to reach it ? I know the knights hall doesn't do it , and i don't know much else ... ".
Patricia was dumbfounded by this question as she looked blankly at Rudra for a while before using her eyes of truth to inspect him as she shrieked " OH MY GOD , you monster , how did you reach here soo fast? This is insane , i thought even for you it will atleast take 2 years more , this is to exaggerated , HOW? ".
Patricia just could not beleive o how fast Rudra was levelling up , as she had to calm her heart down after questioning if the heavens were really fair or did they just bless this one prick with all the talent in the world.
However she still replied " There are multiple ways to reach tier 4 , but you are right none of them involve the Knights halls , from now on its the big guys game , and the difficulty increased monumentally !
The methods are ..... ".
