Chapter 41: Plan/Strategy.
The sky above the Royal Palace was covered in scattered clouds during the morning, while the outside air was hot and humid, unlike the secretive meeting room with its chilly air conditioning, having two machines.
Everyone in the room had a tense expression, except for Khanin, who was sitting as the chairman, with a calm and serene face. The reason for everyone’s abrupt gathering today was to strategize for an upcoming event that required their help in analysis.
Prince Kalavin finally spoke up after silently listening to everything that
Ramil had to say, “If what Young Lord Ramil said is true, then is Puchongpisut just being the scapegoat for someone else, and this competition isn’t just about a regular position for the Sovereign Kingship, but rather it’s now a war within the city.”
Mr-Ramil's father did not have big plans, but they were interfered with, causing tension in the room. This happened when they realized that everything that was about to happen was bigger than they could handle. A man from a foreign country told a story that explained everything in an easyto-understand way, from beginning to end.
Every member in the room was made fully aware of their current status thanks to Khanin’s analysis. At this point, they were not only just fencers competing for the Sovereign King position for Atsawathewathin, but also a team of defenders protecting against any unforeseen intruders.
Khanin couldn’t predict how everyone would react to the situation, but they all knew that the incident at the recent banquet under the watchful eye of Puchongpisut was just as concerning as a black hole at the center of the city.
It was widely known that Khanin hoped that everyone would understand that this wasn’t just a simple competition, as it could very well escalate into a full blown rebellion.
However, Khanin didn’t want to waste any time and immediately asked, “Can your country provide any assistance if what you said turns out to be true?” The answer was exactly as he had expected.
Kalavin replied with a somber expression, “I’m afraid I can’t help, it’s far too complicated. If anything goes wrong, it’ll affect my position in the country. But also, it would seem like I’m interfering within another country’s internal issues.”
“...”
“If we send someone to help with the preparations, it won’t benefit me regardless of who wins or loses. Plus, it’ll be bad if anything goes wrong if one country knows about another country’s internal affairs. Oh, and as for Phitakthewa’s people, why don’t they lend a hand? They’re an ancient and renowned family, but their leader isn’t very skilled. They probably just talk without any substance.” Ramil questioned Khanin while glaring at the man sitting next to him.
The vulgar language of the Young Prince of the Puchongpisut family caused the tense atmosphere to shift to a moment of laughter, with even the leader of Phitakthewa’s family having to step in to ease the situation. Meanwhile, Khanin briefly smiled before returning to his serious expression.
The way Ramil spoke confirmed that the other party didn’t have a deep understanding of his own team, someone who didn’t care about investigating other people’s stories, saw themselves as the center and dared to accuse their opponent’s father directly of their wrongdoing. Is this person overconfident or falsely trustworthy?
At least there is no trickery, unlike some who appear calm but may secretly gather information on everyone for a future purpose.
There are only two possible cities... Meenakarin and Thawetmetha.
Thawetmetha’s motivation may sometimes come from when the father watched his only daughter not being able to lose and give up. Because Evaa seems to be trying very hard to prove herself as a representative of women, who can achieve anything just like men.
Khanin does not know Chana. Every time they meet, there seem to be no issues, but he cannot trust him now.
As for Meenakarin... if it is really Uncle Waseem, what is the motivation behind this?
“I don't want anyone from Phitakthewa involved in this, it wouldn't help.” The older guy was deep in thought alone. The voice of Charan grew louder, causing his nerves to shake. Khanin furrowed his brow as he looked at how his cousin was shepherding the conversation.
“Why is Phitakthewa so useless? Saying that the nation is like the sun of Phitakthewa is just a lie.” Ramil hugged his chest and smiled awkwardly, the atmosphere in the room becoming tense, but no one dared to say anything.
Khanin approached the people around, looking at their faces that still showed fear of him.
He began to recall the words he had heard from Chakri. At first, he didn’t believe it, but the butler had previously stated that he was the “sun” of the other party. Khanin thought that it was just a beautiful word that the other party used to impress him as a boss. However, when the memory overlapped with the encounter with Waseem, he became even more confident.
At this point, this sentence probably has a significant meaning for the people of Emmaly.
Khanin is now more confident.
“If Charan is on the team, it will be comforting. He is smart like his mother. He will definitely help the nephew.”
“...”
“Atsawathewathin is also like a sun to Meena Nakharin. Therefore, if there is anything for me to help, I will surely tell even if it is the wrong ruler.”
This is not just an admonition, but it implies that the speaker must be like a sunflower that only looks at himself as the sun and must love and care for the person who lifted him to be the boss.
As a boss, Khanin became Chakri’s sun. It taught him that he needed to take care of his own sunflowers and honorably look after those who sought refuge with him.
But what about Meenakarin? What practices did he have as Atsawathewathin’s sun?
“It’s impossible... Phitakthewa is still a country noble like before, Your
Highness. However, this matter is complex, and Phitakthewa is one of
Emmaly’s training units. Therefore, they will all rise up to protect the Sovereign King, even if the person holding the position is not the right one.” Charan was silent for a moment before revealing what was on his mind.
