Chapter 110 (2)
"We have the justification to control all the financial resources of the empire, so even if we help His Highness Christian, both of you will have no objections. We can even use this to cook the Sinclair family."
"Will the Sinclair family remain quiet?"
"That's why we have a good justification, don't we? To control all the financial resources of the empire. In any case, we will soon enter the war. Not the war for the crown, but the war with the Black Label Union. Will we even have the spare capacity to help the Sinclair family? Honestly, we can find plenty of excuses not to help them. So don't worry about that. It's a matter I'll handle myself."
Rockefeller asked the 1st Prince directly.
"In that sense, I will ask Your Highness. If we were to support His Highness Christian, would Your Highness Ryan try to stop us?"
The 2nd Prince Christian winning the war for the crown instead of himself and Calman?
The prince of the Ismail family, which is now barely maintaining its prestige?
He was a hopeless man who had even been abandoned by the Order.
"How foolish. So you're saying you'll stick to the 2nd Prince no matter what? The Church doesn't even look favorably upon him. Even if he wins the war for the crown, the Pope will not permit it."
"Your Highness Ryan, do you really not understand my intentions?"
"Hmph."
The 1st Prince, who did not reply, turned his gaze back to his sister and asked.
"What do you think? This crazy guild leader here wants to support Christian instead of me and Calman."
Trinity, who had been focusing on their conversation earlier, immediately replied.
"That's not what he meant, right?"
"Well, it might not be what he meant. He says he has a reason for doing so."
From the 1st Prince's perspective, there was no reason to stop Rockefeller's decision to support the dead 2nd Prince instead of himself and Calman.
Of course, it was somewhat uncomfortable that one of the empire's biggest sources of money was going to support the 2nd Prince, but he saw no chance of the 2nd Prince winning the war for the crown due to the fallen Ismail family and the Church branding them as heretics.
And he thought that the reason for the Lyon Guild supporting the Ismail Prince had some persuasiveness.
Was he tempted by his words that he would lend war funds without limit in the future?
Or was he moderately satisfied with the words that he would not support Calman?
The 1st Prince of the Empire, Ryan Tepez, who was thinking not only about the upcoming crown war but also about the future, decided not to become an enemy with Rockefeller here.
Isn't it true that there are no eternal enemies or eternal allies in the world?
For the sake of the future, this heartwarming conclusion was a good thing for the 1st Prince as well.
"Talking with you, I see you're a thoughtful person. I apologize first for the rudeness I committed at the beginning. I didn't think much of the leader of the Lyon Guild."
Who would have thought that such words would come from the mouth of the 1st Prince?
The power of money seemed to be quite amazing.
"No, I am the one who committed a greater rudeness to Your Highness. I am also sorry."
"Since the unpleasant things that happened earlier were misunderstandings between us, today's events will be easily forgotten."
The 1st Prince, who seemed to be about to leave, stood up from his seat and reached out to Rockefeller, who was also standing up.
"I look forward to the time after the crown war. Your name is Rockefeller, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness. My name is Rockefeller Rothsmedici."
"I don't know whether the integration with the Black Label Union will be an integration or absorption. Anyway, I will support you. Just keep your promise not to support Calman."
"Don't worry too much about that."
Rockefeller's following words were also sincere.
"I will never support Prince Calman even if the sky falls. Who would support him for whom? In the future, I could be with Your Highness, right?"
"I hope there will be no unpleasant things between us."
