Chapter 20.2: Chapter 20.2 - This Is Way Too Explicit
Episode 5: This Is Way Too Explicit – Chapter 20 . 2
Randall, Brissen Merchantry, and Pollun Merchantry… what’s the relationship between the three? Does Tensil play a part in all of this? Bern had never really paid attention to Tensil, the holy nation that was located adjacent to Kailis . He didn’t know what exactly was going on during this period of time . Thanks to that, Calian had to knit his brows and ponder what was going on at this time in Tensil .
If it has to do with merchantries, it must be about a trade item . If Brissen is willing to meddle with the royal family for his profit, it must be of significant value… ah!
Something of significant value . When his train of thought reached that point, he had his answer .
Calian smiled vaguely . It’s the diamond mine .
All the pieces came together when he found the keyword . He recalled a conversation that he had with Chase back when he was still living as Bern . They had been talking about the fallen basket incident .
— It feels too unsophisticated to call it terrorism .
— Do you think that’s all there is to it? Terrorism against a member of the royal family?
— Well, a prince was harmed… is there something else, Chase?
— Who knows? Give it a good thought .
The execution was too explicit and simple and stupid . It was as if they wanted everyone to know that they were targeting the prince .
The priests of a holy nation don’t have much reason to buy diamonds . Tensil probably planned to sell most of them to Kailis . Since Tensil’s merchantry would have been taking Randall into consideration, they would have preferred to sell the diamonds to Pollun instead of Brissen .
He had only figured out the answer to this problem now as Calian when Chase had figured it out all the way back then . The reason for Brissen targeting Randall was also cleared .
Brissen was trying to accuse Pollun of terrorism in order to claim commercial supremacy over the diamonds . After all, no merchantries other than Pollun could manage that big of a deal . If Randall is harmed, the King of Tensil would intervene . He knew that the incident would be concluded before any strange spots could be investigated . Lennon thought this through quite a bit, huh . I’m honestly surprised . .
Having finished organising his thoughts, Calian shifted his gaze onto Melfir . Though Melfir would want to meet Calian as soon as possible, Calian couldn’t let that happen . Since he found out how large-scale this incident was, he changed his mind and decided that he will take something that’s worth the price of Melfir’s life in return for saving him .
“Tell the event organiser that I won’t be at the ball tonight,” said Calian softly .
Yan turned to face Calian in surprise, and sighed worriedly as he looked up at Calian’s saddened face that seemed to have taken a blow from Franz . “Yes, I will see to that . ”
“Sorry . ”
“You needn’t be, Your Highness . ”
Yan nodded, looking even sadder than Calian . He would never know how guilty Calian felt as he glanced at Yan .
Rumein gazed blankly at the visitor, took off his glasses, and placed them on his desk . He had been sitting behind his desk ever since he had returned from the show .
“An unexpected guest,” muttered Rumein . .
The guest stood silently for a while before walking over to the couch . The clacking of the heels against the floorboard echoed throughout the quiet study . Rumein silently watched his guest .
Only after a considerable amount of time had passed did Rumein get up from his seat . He began opening the windows as if to chase out the scent of Ranieri that was starting to fill the study .

Just as he was about to finish opening all the windows, the grand chamberlain brought in a tray of tea and snacks .
Rumein lightly waved his hand . “No need . ”
Silica’s eyebrows twitched . He was treating her like a completely unwelcome guest .
After making the grand chamberlain leave, Rumein walked slowly towards the couch and sat in the seat across Silica . His eyes were void of emotions .
Silica, in truth, was already used to it . This was how it always were ever since Freya had died . .
“What business do you have?” asked Rumein, his voice containing as little emotion as his eyes .
“He’s just a child . Please forgive his mistakes . Brissen will take the punishment instead . ”
Silica gritted her teeth . She had never expected to ever have to say these words to Rumein .
Rumein raised his eyebrows . Until now, she had never visited him directly no matter what Franz did . Silica never went as far as to say anything like what she had just said . Although Franz’s actions today were quite deplorable, she would have never stooped this low if it were in the past .
“Forgive? What must I forgive?”
Of course, Rumein knew why Silica’s attitude had changed so suddenly .

Calian . To be precise, it was because of Calian with Alan Manassil on his side .
Thinking about Calian reminded him of what Silica was trying to do as she sat across from him . He could also guess why she was telling him that Brissen would take responsibility .
She’s probably thinking that it’s more important to keep the nobles on Franz’s side right now . That way, after Calian dies, the nobles wouldn’t turn to Randall .
No matter what she would lose as punishment, she had the confidence to retrieve it after Calian’s death .
— Please continue to disregard this issue .
Rumein chuckled as he recalled Alan’s words . He chuckled in order to hold himself back from grabbing and twisting Silica’s slender neck .
Did he just laugh?
Not knowing the reason behind his laugh, Silica showed slight surprise . Until now, Rumein had never shown his emotions in front of others . Yet now, he was laughing openly . Silica clenched her new fan .
Rumein asked again, “Alright, then . What punishment are you willing to take?”
There was no way that she would pull back her royal knights . She wasn’t that desperate .
Silica recollected herself . “Since it was quite a memorable show, I believe he deserves a reward . ”
It was just as Rumein expected .

“Ah . ” It was truly a memorable show .
What Silica meant was that she would let Pollun Merchantry take some of Brissen’s commercial supremacy . Rumein would decide on how much they would take depending on the size of his forgiveness, and the Brissen Family would have to accept .
“I shall have Franz walk with me to the ball today,” said Rumein .
He accepted the trade .
After all, he knew that Calian would not die .
