Episode 109 25. Rayan Tepez (3)
When you get an unexpected answer.
The first prince, who was momentarily bewildered, blinked his eyes and looked at his sister who was sitting nearby.
Seeing the startled look on her face, it was obvious that she had a shock similar to mine.
How dare a mere rabbit stand up in front of a wild beast with its pitiful teeth that gnaw at carrots.
He was so startled that the first prince did not know where to start and shut his mouth for a while.
But that silence didn’t last long.
“now. Unless I heard it wrong, it looks like you openly rejected my offer.”
Rockefeller then accepted his words as if waiting.
“Yes, what you hear is correct. I openly refused.”
“haha… … .”
It was ridiculous and the 1st prince laughed without knowing it.
what to do with this
that for a while.
The viciousness of the beast was evident in the face of the first prince, who was upset.
“Are you crazy now?”
Because the opponent came out rudely, even the first prince decided not to show any further courtesy.
“Where dare!”
On the other hand, his sister, who had lost his wit for a while, like the first prince, became astonished by the fact that he dared to express his intentions without fear.
What kind of guts did the author have to say that?
Can I even have two lives?
if not… … .
‘Do you have any beliefs?’
even in this situation.
Rockefeller seemed unwilling to change his attitude.
‘I have nothing to be afraid of.’
“Did you ask me if I was crazy? Rather, I would like to ask. What on earth were you thinking when you said that to me? We, Lyon Guild, have maintained a deep relationship with the Sinclair family for a long time. But, they told us to cut ties with the Sinclair family first.”
Rockefeller laughed out loud.
“I’m really outrageous.”
The first prince, who was glaring at Rockefeller like that, quickly smiled.
‘It must be crazy.’
“It seems that the situation is not fully understood yet.”
Rockefeller responded bluntly to that.
“What do you mean by grasping the situation?”
Where should I start explaining this?
The first prince reminded him of the first thing that came to mind without thinking deeply.
“It’s not that I don’t know the position of you and the guild.”
As if he was absurd while speaking, the 1st Prince let out an absurd laugh every time he spoke.
“But do you know what lies outside this city?”
“If it’s outside the city, are you talking about your army?”
“Yeah, I know you well. And yet, you dare rob that arrogant snout in front of me. If this isn’t crazy, what do you mean?”
Rockefeller responded immediately.
“Then I will ask. Your Majesty, knowing that the Sinclair family and His Majesty the Third Prince, who are closely related to them, came to me and threatened me like that?”
The first prince, who was now convinced, shook his head.
At first it was obvious that he was crazy.
“It doesn’t make sense at all.”
“It’s not that it doesn’t make sense, it’s that you are making a request that goes beyond common sense in the first place. Are you still discussing common sense with me?”
The first prince, with a lively expression on his face, looked at his sister who was sitting nearby.
“Just kill me?”
Then Trinity slowly shook her head.
It just meant that I didn’t want to cause problems.
Then Rockefeller, who was watching this, secretly took the pendant he had received from Lee Han and made up his mind.
He’s going to disappear from the Crown Wars anyway, so let’s face it more boldly.
‘Where dare.’
“majesty. What did you say now? Are you going to kill me?”
what? Doesn’t that guy know how to understand the situation?
The first prince, who was speechless, looked at Rockefeller, and in his face, he could see a rage that had never been seen before.
“No matter how heavenly you are, this is very unpleasant. I also said that I can’t help you because I have multiple interests, but I didn’t know that I would be able to discuss it here, because you will kill me with it and save me. How can I and the Lyon Guild look so funny to say that?”
Seeing this, the 1st Prince was even more stunned, and Trinity, who was with him, wondered why Rockefeller appeared so boldly.
Lastly, Ricardo, who had been mixed with them knowingly and unknowingly, felt really proud of him who dared to do his best in front of the imperial family without giving in to his words.
Of course, I knew I had some beliefs, but even so, it was very difficult to act like a Rockefeller.
Who knows who will win the crown war and dare to say such a thing?
‘It’s not great, but it’s even respectful. Being able to speak that way without bending in a place like that.’
When everyone is thinking like that.
Rockefeller continued to speak more boldly.
“You seem to have misunderstood something. Who do you think should really bow their heads right now? Do you see him as a High sire who is participating in the war for the crown soon and aiming for the throne? Or do you think I am the one who can help or hinder such a Highness?”
“You’re not arrogant and your arrogance pierces the sky.”
The 1st Prince, unable to hold back his anger any longer, tried to get his hand on the hilt he was wearing, and Rockefeller, who noticed it first, held the pendant that Lee Han had given him.
‘I knew it would. Is there any way Layan Tepez of the world can stand still in this situation?’
summary execution.
It was an occasional story in episodes involving the First Prince.
The 1st prince put his status first and killed someone he didn’t like on the spot.
“The crime of disrespecting the royal family is not light. Only death can repay you.”
After the prince had finished speaking, he was about to draw his sword, and an uninvited guest came among them.
Lee Han.
He appeared at the call of Rockefeller.
“When did you call me?”
The unexpected appearance of an uninvited guest surprised the two royal families.
On the other hand, Rockefeller, who summoned him, said to Lee Han, whom he had summoned, with a smile on his face.
“Don’t stand between your sire and me, just come over to where I am.”
Lee Han, who came to visit, glanced at the people who were seated and smiled.
“I know roughly. Why did you call me?”
The first prince reacted to Lee Han’s sudden appearance.
“You… … Why did you come here?”
“Why did you come? I’m here for work.”
Lee Han, who lightly replied that it was not the first appearance, stood next to Rockefeller, and Trinity, who recognized him, began to quiver as to whether he had anything to say.
But he didn’t say anything, and in the meantime Rockefeller stepped out.
“I knew your Highness would intimidate me, so I hired him in advance. You don’t think I met your Highness without any safeguards, would you?”
The first prince, who was patient while trying to draw the sword, calmed his anger inwardly.
Lee Han… … . He was a very troubled man.
At the time of the subjugation of the Revolutionary Army, he was employed in the Revolutionary Army and it was a nightmare.
‘Why is the author… … .’
“It’s not that I’m crazy, but there was a certain corner I believed in.”
Rockefeller smiled openly at that.
It came out because I didn’t have to look good.
Meanwhile, the eyes of the first prince turned to Lee Han.
“Thanks to you, I went through a lot of hard work. I hope to see you again in a place like this.”
Then, Lee Han rubbed his index finger and thumb.
“Give me money if you need it. Because it’s me who doesn’t choose a side.”
“… … .”
As a result, the first prince trembled at how much time was delayed in subjugating the revolutionary army and how many subordinates he lost.
“I hope you don’t see me in the War of the Crown.”
“Fortunately, I am busy with other things these days. Don’t worry too much about the crown war. Because I am not interested.”
“You seem to see it often for a busy person, don’t you?”
“Because this is an exception. I was going to get a magic stone in return.”
“It’s a magic stone… … .”
If I could catch it, I would have caught it right here.
However, he was deeply aware of the impossibility of the previous revolutionary army subjugation, so the first prince decided not to step forward.
The first prince, who had removed his gaze from Lee Han, turned his gaze to Rockefeller again.
“I am well aware that Lee Han is the one I believe in. But you have to keep this in mind.”
There was some sincerity in the words that followed.
“If I win the war for the crown, there will probably be no place for you and the guild to stand. Even if you go there and change your position, you will not be able to do business in Banco that day.”
“You’re threatening me like crazy again.”
The first prince, who did not care about Lee Han, focused only on Rockefeller.
“You see no? My will will soon become the will of the Empire.”
Rockefeller then smiled openly.
“Your Majesty, your thoughts are very short.”
At those words, the first prince’s eyes twitched.
In my heart, I wanted to swing the sword right away, but the existence of Lee Han was too annoying for that.
“Doesn’t it look like you rather than thinking?”
There may also be
And you know what the future holds.
Rockefeller, who had no more hesitation, boldly sat down with one leg crossed, and then curled his lips.
“You think so? Even if His Majesty ascends to the throne, nothing has changed much. You like war anyway, so you’re going to need money. The money will definitely come from us.”
“Hey, do you see that?”
“Or where are you going to get that money? Are you going to pull it out of the sky? Or are you going to scoop it out of the ground?”
“What is money… … . You have to figure it out on your own. There are many ways. Because we have to raise taxes.”
“Oh, you want to raise taxes? In the newly enthroned yard, he raises taxes in a way that makes people hateful… … .”
Rockefeller laughed out loud.
“Let’s try it somewhere. I won’t dry it. However, it will certainly be a problem for your Highness who loves war so much that it is called a war-maniac. The country is in turmoil because of tax issues, can you comfortably fight outside?”
The first prince, unable to respond, bit Rockefeller’s attitude and began to sag.
“Apart from that, don’t you think your actions or tone of voice are too arrogant?”
Rockefeller did not deny it.
“If you think it’s cheeky, you can. After all, we have nothing to do.”
Then, with his braided legs untied and his upper body extended forward, Rockefeller faced the prince directly.
“Do you know why?”
To the unanswered prince, Rockefeller uttered rather cruel words.
“The one we are pushing will soon become His Majesty the next emperor. So we have nothing to do.”
To be humiliated like this by the head of the Banco Alliance!
While the 1st Prince, who managed to resist the boiling anger, was glaring at Rockefeller, his sister, called the Queen of Blades, pulled out a sword out of the air and aimed at Rockefeller, who openly despised the royal family.
However.
Her sword, which flew from the air, disappeared in the air regardless of her intentions.
Lee Han intervened.
“Hey, you can’t use that kind of force against civilians.”
Lee Han shook his head as if in anger.
“That’s a foul.”
It was also Lee Han.
Rockefeller, quite satisfied, said to the first prince.
“It’s really sad. In the first place, your attitude toward me was the problem. I’m not threatening you here.”
Rockefeller continued with a friendly smile.
“You should have done it rather. If that was the case, my heart might have been shaken even a little. In any case, your chances of winning the War of the Crown are very high, don’t you think? Of course, the premise is that we can help.”
The expression of the 1st prince was not serious.
Apparently, he had a bad idea of mobilizing the military.
Rockefeller noticed this and hurriedly offered carrots to control him.
“However. I also don’t want to be the enemy like you. After all, everything I’ve said is an assumption, and there’s no way it’s going to turn out just as Your Highness warned me. How could I, as a mere creature, expect the world to happen?”
The first prince, who was even planning to mobilize the army, squeezed his last patience and decided to listen quietly to his last words.
And it seemed sweeter than I thought.
“So, I will not apply for the 3rd Prince as per your wishes.”
what?
The first prince and his sister were bewildered by the unexpected words.
We had been arguing over the issue until now, but when he said that he would not support the third prince, he had no choice but to be embarrassed.
But you have to listen to what people have to say.
“Instead, I don’t think I will even support you.”
