Chapter 109 (2)

"Why have you... come here?"

"Why did I come? I have business, so I came."

It seemed that they were not strangers, as Lee Han casually replied and stood next to Rockefeller. Trinity, who recognized him, began to lick her lips as if she had something to say.

But she couldn't say anything, and in the meantime, Rockefeller stepped forward.

"I hired him in advance, knowing that Your Highness would threaten me. You surely didn't think I would greet Your Highness without any safety measures, did you?"

The 1st Prince, who tried to draw his sword but restrained himself, swallowed his anger.

Lee Han... was a very troublesome man.

During the suppression of the Revolutionary Army, he had been a nightmare when employed by the Revolutionary Army.

'Why is he here...'

"I knew there was a reason you trusted him."

At that, Rockefeller openly laughed.

It was a behavior that came from not needing to look good.

In the meantime, the 1st Prince's gaze was on Lee Han.

"Thanks to you, I had a lot of trouble. I never thought I'd see you again in a place like this."

Then Lee Han playfully rubbed his index and thumb together.

"Just give me money if you need it. I don't take sides."

"..."

The 1st Prince clenched his teeth, remembering how much time had been wasted and how many subordinates had been lost due to Lee Han during the Revolutionary Army's suppression.

"I wish I hadn't seen you in the Crown War."

"Fortunately, I'm busy with other things these days. Don't worry too much about the Crown War. I'm not interested."

"You seem to show up a lot for a busy person."

"It's an exception for this side. I agreed to receive magic stones as payment."

"Magic stones..."

If he could, he would have caught him right here.

But since he had learned the hard way during the previous suppression of the Revolutionary Army that it was impossible, the 1st Prince decided not to take any action.

The 1st Prince shifted his gaze from Lee Han to Rockefeller.

"I understand that you trust Lee Han. But remember this."

"Whoever we support will become the next emperor. So, we have nothing to lose."

To suffer such humiliation from the mere leader of the Bank Alliance!

The 1st Prince, barely containing his boiling anger, glared at Rockefeller while his sister, known as the Queen of Blades, aimed at the openly mocking Rockefeller with a sword she had drawn from thin air.

However.

The sword flying through the air disappeared into thin air, regardless of her intentions.

It was Lee Han's intervention.

"Hey, you shouldn't use that much force against a civilian."

Lee Han shook his head as if to show off.

"That's cheating."

It was indeed Lee Han.

Satisfied in his own way, Rockefeller said to the 1st Prince.

"It's truly unfortunate. From the beginning, your attitude towards me was the problem. You shouldn't have threatened me here."

With a kind smile, Rockefeller continued.

"Instead, you should have pleaded with me. Then, my heart might have wavered a little. After all, Your Highness's chances of winning the Crown War are not very high, right? Of course, that's assuming we help you."

The 1st Prince's expression was not good.

Apparently, he had thought of mobilizing the military.

Noticing this, Rockefeller hastily offered a carrot to control him.

"However, I don't want to be your enemy either. After all, everything I said was hypothetical, and it's not impossible that what Your Highness warned me about will happen. How could I, a mere creature, predict the world's events?"

The 1st Prince, who had planned to mobilize the army, decided to listen quietly to his last words.

And those words seemed sweeter than expected.

"So, I will not support the 3rd Prince as Your Highness wishes."

What?

The 1st Prince and his sister were taken aback by the unexpected words.

They had been arguing about that issue so far, and now he said he would not support the 3rd Prince, so they couldn't help but be surprised.

However, one should always listen to people's words until the end.

"Instead, I don't plan to support Your Highness either."
