A Different Path (3)

At the mention of marrying the 2nd Prince to his sister, she was left speechless.

If he kept his word, it would be difficult for the 2nd Prince to go back on his promise later.

Moreover, the 2nd Prince she knew was a devout and sincere person, who didn't seem to have any significant issues.

Although he had been overshadowed by the 1st and 3rd Princes and had lived quietly, when she thought about him, the events she had anticipated seemed very unlikely to happen.josei

'It was all planned from the beginning.'

However, there was one thing that bothered her.

It was the existence of the guild.

'Does that mean the guild also has some considerations in mind?'

If so, it wasn't entirely impossible for the 2nd Prince to participate in the royal crown war, defeat the two powerful candidates, and succeed to the throne, just as he said.

That is, if the guild's attitude changed significantly from what it is now.

'I don't know. I don't think they'll tell me everything just by asking.'

"What are you planning to do with the important guild? It seems like you have everything planned out."

Rockefeller remained composed.

"As I said earlier, we have our own plans for that as well. So, since we have decided on our course, it seems difficult to work with the Sinclair family in the future. You've come a long way, and I'm sorry to send you back empty-handed."

He was overly arrogant.

Unable to bear it, Jason stepped forward.

"So, you're only scared of Ismail, and not us?"

At that, Rockefeller immediately retorted.

"Rather, I'd like to ask you. Are you not afraid of us? We are the group with the strongest financial power, excluding the two noble families of the empire. Depending on our attitude, the outcome of the upcoming royal crown war might be determined."

His following smile was somewhat provocative.

"Do we still look like a joke to you?"

Feeling humiliated, Jason glanced at her again.

It was a silent question about what to do with him.

However, Isabella had a high opinion of the man named Rockefeller, unlike Jason, who was about to lash out.

There was no chance of winning in the first place if they caused trouble here, and there were too many things he trusted.

'He predicted everything, even our arrival here.'

"It's my first time seeing a daring commoner against a magician. Usually, they're busy trembling."

At Isabella's words, Rockefeller still had a smile on his lips and casually agreed with her.

"Most people would be like that. They'd be scared to death of a magician, especially if they don't have any faith like me."

"If we were to approach this in a different way than this peaceful conversation, wouldn't it be very difficult for you?"

"If you're confident, give it a try. I'm curious about how it'll turn out. However, you'll have to take responsibility for what happens afterward."

If any unpleasant incidents were to occur, Ismail wouldn't just sit idly by.

He would risk revealing his identity to confront them.

'In the first place, there's no way that could happen with the Lord of Ismail, who has been holding out here without many people to confront.'

"Moreover, I also received threats, so I intend to pay you back accordingly. Look forward to it. How our guild will show up in the upcoming royal crown war."

She glared at him for a moment, feeling uncomfortable.

'He's too audacious. I don't know what he's relying on to act like that.'

"Do you think there's someone here to protect you if something happens?"

His opponent was the talented Knightlord of the Sinclair family.

"Don't you know that better than I do?"

"......"

From her perspective, it seemed that Rockefeller was certain that Ismail's forces were involved in this place.

Otherwise, he couldn't have been so audacious.

Jason also began to subtly be on guard, sensing the sharp atmosphere.

The surrounding air was too prickly.

'It's a bit annoying. I guess he had some trust in them.'

Perhaps for the two wizards, this place was like a trap.

What they saw right in front of them was a prey left defenseless, but they couldn't help but notice that it was actually bait.

The two who came to find Rockefeller exchanged glances for a moment.

When she shook her head, Jason soon seemed to agree and quieted down.

Isabella, who had been pondering Rockefeller for a while, opened her mouth for a final warning.

"Even if we quietly withdraw from here, the guild will have to prepare itself. We are just as ruthless as the Tepez. Please keep that in mind."

"If it's a threat involving the exclusive supply of special paper from the Sinclair family, I want to make it clear that the threat won't work on me."

At those words, Jason was taken aback.

'A mere moneylender who plays with money is too pretentious.'

Magic was essentially an absolute power capable of achieving anything.

And everyone knew how powerful the Sinclair family, which held a monopoly on it, was.

That's why Jason stepped forward with confidence.

"Even if you look down on Sinclair, you look down too much. Without our help, you will soon face ruin. If we can forge the loan certificates that are circulating in the market right now."

Jason shook his head as if to show off.

"It's over for you."
