The Next Prince, Chapter 41 pg
“You don’t know, and that’s not surprising. Because you just arrived here a few months ago, everything is true as PrinceKalavin said. I thought it couldn’t be, but the royal uncle disappeared, and another thing... I’ve told you before, my royal uncle doesn’t get along with my dad, there’s no way he can come and brainstorm ideas with my dad.” Ramil finished with a muffled voice.
The young royal from the snake dynasty has a dangerous glint in his eyes, the thick hands clenching so hard that the nails threaten to cut into the flesh, after raising a fragile topic.
Yes... we should not forget some people who can manipulate the Prince's mind...
“To be honest, your father didn’t like me at first.” Then Ramil brought up another topic that had led Khanin to think further.
He remembered one day when he had a conversation with Rachata, it was a day he coincidentally met on the way to practice the dance, but the person who was older than him spoke negatively and unfriendly, thinking that he was worthless.
“Yes, my father doesn’t like you. Because he thinks that your family played trickery before, my father thought your family was conspiring together, hiding you, letting you practice in advance to be better than others, and then accelerating to compete for the Sovereign King position, preventing others from getting ready.” What Ramil said wasn’t entirely wrong.
If asked how long Khanin had prepared himself before anyone else had, he would probably say that he had spent almost his entire life in training.
The question that he had always wondered about why he had to train more than others in terms of sword fighting, language, music, and economics.
And all the questions were answered as his feet stepped on the land of the country of Emmaly.
“Just like that… If your father is confident that his child is talented, why would he be afraid of me?” Khanin threw away those thoughts and immediately changed the subject, his cute face calm. His dark brown eyes turned to look at the children, both older and younger ones.
“I don’t know about that. Because at first, I wasn’t afraid of you. I didn’t feel like there was anything to fear, but my father…” Ramil furrowed his small eyebrows, as if pondering something in his heart.
Ramil’s hesitation in his response made Khanin think of something.
“Normally, it’s possible that we may not like some people from the first time we meet them, with various reasons for the ‘dislike’. Either you don’t like them because they are a competitor, you don’t like them because they treated you poorly, you don’t like them because they remind you of something bad, you don’t like them because people around you don’t like them. Your dad may not like me for some reason.”
“...”
“Khun Jae, normally when actors perform, they need to have something that makes them believe that they are that character. They must have imagination, thoughts, feelings, link to that character, to make it believable that they are that character, right?” When Khanin saw that Ramil didn’t respond, he turned to ask a strange question to the only actor in the team.
This action made everyone suspicious, not excluding Charan.
“Environment, Your Highness... the environment helps you to immerse into the character.”
“And if you don’t have that belief in the character at all, what can help?”
In the midst of confusion about the young actor’s words, the representative of the Puchongpisut family spoke firmly.
“Say what you want to say, no need to hesitate.”
“It seems that your father does not like me because my appearance made him inferior. There must be someone who made him feel like that, not just for a short time, but for a long time.” Khanin summed it up, as in the proverb “The falling piece of wood doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
“Huh?”
“Just think, is there any reason that a person who holds himself highly and treats himself that high, would hate me so much that he would resort to hurting me? If the people of your household don’t firmly believe in dignity, then you probably won’t have that either.” Khanin shortened his thoughts.
But at first, if Rachata was the type of person who liked to secretly undermine others. Ramil himself might have that personality, but the evidence speaks for everything.
Rachata’s son holds respect and noble status. Rachata himself was probably no different unless there was an environment that made him think that he was inferior, to the point of being afraid of losing prestige and not being able to accept defeat.
To the point of resorting to dirty tricks and of course, this manipulation should not just be for a short period of time...
I guess this idea must have deep roots for a long time.
“Are you going to tell me that someone has been whispering in my father’s ear for a long time, and that person planned to use my father as bait all along?”.
“You are very smart, Ramil... Yes, what I want to say is, even if you, the one who competes with me, aren’t afraid of me, why should someone with as much power as your father have to be afraid of a little child like me?”.
“...”
“Someone like you who has a royal status, Rachata. If we compare me to what Evaa sees in me, then there is no need to lower yourself to do this, right?”.
“...”
“Unless someone whispered in his ear from the beginning... and that person must have permission to say what they wanted to say. So it must be someone with a comparable status.”.
“Uncle Waseen came... it’s impossible, that person... is not smart.” Ramil immediately mentioned a name without having to think, the name of a person that made Khanin burst out laughing.
From the information leaked by the heir of Puchongpisut, Khanin began to feel confident that he and Ramil were thinking in the same direction.
The only person allowed to say anything that comes to mind... that would be Uncle Waseen.
“Who said he’s not smart.” Khanin raised his eyebrows. His two layered gaze turned to Ramil, who seemed confused.
