Chapter 458 - Its Your Job! (1/2)
Rean then laughed as he said.
”It's fine, it's fine. No one's here to eavesdrop anyway, so who cares? If you're afraid that we will spread this news, rest assured. It won't happen. Well, it's not like someone would believe us anyway.”
Huan then mentioned.
”I could destroy your plans by simply spreading the news that Calina is alive, you know? I have no doubt that the First Prince's faction would be more than willing to go after her in your Dalamu Sect's territory.”
Rean shook his head as he said.
”That would be the same as saying that you want to take one side. After all, they would mean you messed with one of the candidates' plans for this throne fight.”
Huan shrugged his shoulders in response.
”I can simply use someone else to spread this news without others knowing that I did it.”
Rean still didn't seem to care.
”That would still mean that you want to choose a different side. Others might not know of it, but you do. Are you really going to step over your pride to bring this news out?”
Huan snorted as he asked.
”Are you waging a war of words with me, boy?”
”Hahaha! As long as it works, then why not? This is a secret meeting that no one knows about anyway.”
Huan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the twins once again. Still, he sighed in the end once he thought about Old Worm the previous day. If not for that, he would teach these twins a lesson. He only said that he wouldn't kill them to Werxa. A small beating wouldn't be that much to worry about.
”Whatever. So what if Calina joins the fight later? What does it have to do with me anyway? You said it yourself, right? The princes and princesses' influences won't matter in the end.”
Rean nodded.
”That's not entirely true. You said it yourself as well. If the Emperor's decision is not of your liking, you wouldn't mind refuting it. In that case, even if she is chosen in the end, she will still need your approval.”
Huan narrowed his eyes.
”So you want my support. Why should I do it? It's not like she would be better or worse than other candidates. If anything, the others have a lot more experience.”
Rean nodded as he said in response to his words.
”They do. However, most of them still wish to attack Chrole. However, that would be the most idiotic option out of all of the possible options. Calina, on the other hand, has a half bloodline between Chrole and Sasamil. She is perfect for mediating this conflict once she is chosen by the Emperor. Chrole would have a reason to at least hear what she says, and Sasamil would be hers, to begin with.”
Huan shook his head as he asked.
”Do you think it would be that simple?”
Rean smiled once more.
