Chapter 437 Auction trap (14)

He had been watching from another one of the VVIP rooms.

Of course he would also be here since this was an operation that he was running. He had to be on site to make sure that nothing went wrong.

After he was asked this, the fourth prince just shook his head and said, "Leave it, he's just doing his job."

The cloaked figure visibly trembled with surprise when they heard this before asking, "Your highness, what do you mean by that?"

The fourth prince didn't answer that question and instead asked another question in return, "What do you think he's doing right now?"

The cloaked figure hesitated a bit before saying, "Provoking the eldest prince?"

The fourth prince gave a nod as if that was the answer that he was giving, but that confused the cloaked figure even more. They couldn't understand just what the fourth prince meant by this.

After all, in their mind, provoking the eldest prince was a bad thing.

If the eldest prince lost his temper and did something irrational, that would be very bad for them.

So in the end, the cloaked figure still couldn't help asking, "Then shouldn't we stop him? If the eldest prince loses control of himself and does something irrational…"

The fourth prince shook his head before saying, "Why would we do that?"

Though the expression of the cloaked figure couldn't be seen, it was very clear by their body language that they were absolutely shocked and confused when they heard this.

Just what was the fourth prince implying with this?

The fourth prince hadn't planned on explaining, but since the cloaked figure wouldn't leave him alone if he didn't explain, he had no choice but to with a deep sigh.

"Why is this so hard to understand? He's baiting the eldest prince to act. That will help our plan."

But still, he knew that the cloaked figure wouldn't understand based on that alone, so he asked, "The eldest prince will act when he's provoked like this, right?"

The cloaked figure gave a slow now of agreement to this.

The fourth prince then continued by saying, "If the eldest prince acts, who would be the one that profits the most from this?"

The cloaked figure was silent for a bit before slowly saying, "The…second prince?"

The fourth prince gave a nod in response before saying, "They're already on edge because of our actions, so they wouldn't dare take large measures. But what if they had an excuse in place? What if they had someone else to blame for their actions?"

The cloaked figure once again fell silent as if they were in deep thought.

Slowly but surely, the cloaked figure seemed like they were figuring something out as they muttered, "If there was someone else to blame for their actions…If the eldest prince was a scapegoat…"

Finally they said in a voice of understanding, "If there's someone else to take the blame, then they can send out more people and blame it all on that person! If the eldest prince has a reason to act, then they can just say that they work for the eldest prince if they are caught and no one would be able to say anything since they know what happened between Count Zwein and the eldest prince!"

The fourth prince gave a slow nod of approval when he heard this.

He turned his gaze away from the cloaked figure beside him and looked at the VVIP room that Zwein was sitting in.

There was a thoughtful look that was on his face as he looked in that direction.

In truth, he had only worked with this Zwein because of his little sister.

If it wasn't for the fact that she cared about him, he would have used him just like everyone else.

He was a valuable piece because of his relationship with the elves and dwarves, but that was it. He wasn't much beyond that, so he had been planning on using him like a piece in a chess game.

But now…he realized that he had been wrong.

This Zwein was much smarter than he thought.

He was able to adapt on the fly like this and create plans that even he didn't think of.

So he had to admit that he was wrong about Zwein.

This kind of intelligence was almost on the same level as his own.

He had almost missed this because of how low profile Zwein stayed, but now he knew what he was capable of.

If that was the case…this Zwein might really be the one.

If he was this smart and if his little sister was this in love with him, then he would do what he could to make it happen.

After thinking for a bit, the fourth prince suddenly turned to the cloaked figure and said, "I want to make a few changes to our plan."

The cloaked figure was surprised to hear this, but they could hear the tone in the fourth prince's voice. So the cloaked figure immediately fell to one knee in front of the fourth prince and said, "Your highness, please give me your order."

The fourth prince gave a nod as he told the cloaked figure a few words.

The cloaked figure didn't look up, but there was a tremble that came from them showing how surprised they were.

But in the end, they still said, "Yes your highness, I will pass down your orders now."

The fourth prince gave a nod as the cloaked figure left.

Then he turned back to look at the fight between the eldest prince and Count Zwein again before saying, "This is very interesting."

But he never would have known that his guess was incorrect.

He had thought too deeply about this.

In truth, Zwein's ideas weren't as deep as he thought.
