The Next Prince, Chapter 41 pg6
Khanin collected all the relevant information he knew today, analyzed it and presented it for others to see instantly.
“If Thawetmetha is the one who is behind everything, it means that the side wants to use this opportunity to let Evaa win without any bloodshed. Because the rules state that if an ancestor of any state wins, the father will immediately ascend to the position of Sovereign King.”
“...”
“But if not... if Meenakarin is the one behind everything, It means that Waseen planned everything well, rashly playing every possible method outside of the rules. In the rules...”
“...”
What do you think would happen if the Sovereign King had to step down from his position, without anyone winning... it means, the position of Sovereign King would be temporarily empty, and if anything happened to Khanin, the ruler of Atsawathewathin and Thawetmetha would surely reject the promotion as Sovereign King, as for those who are eager for this position, like Rachata, they will face charges of assaulting members of the ruling family.
Finally, if we eliminate the Atsawathewathin, and no one will want the Puchongpisut leader, and the Thawetmetha has no son, who will this position belong to?”
“...”
“The position became appropriate for the favorite nephew of the previous King: Waseen, who was just and fair, right?” Khanin looked around everyone with his eyes, and they all agreed with what he said without any objection.
“...”
“Even if there is no one running the race, Meenakarin still wants everyone to think that Waseen deserves this position.”
“...”
“It is about becoming Sovereign King in a fair way, right?”
Everything fits perfectly. Both sending people to harm him, pinning the crime on Rachata, making Chana the suspect, was to make the real culprit disappear out of sight of everyone.
When the time comes... that person will emerge to claim everything he wants.
Without losing anything himself.
He will not allow it to turn out that way...
“Therefore, we will not let him have that moral victory. We will compete cleanly, let him know defeat. It would be even better if the results were clear that day... This is our plan of action.”
“...”
“After this, we will come up with a plan to counterattack and catch the villain.”
As the comfortable atmosphere in Young Prince’s conference room of Atsawathewathin battled the raindrops falling against the windows.
The sky turned crimson, resembling a storm brewing. Lightning flashed sporadically, but this time the weather outside did not cause even the slightest tremble to the people working at the table.
Although the meeting had been going on for hours, Charan still could not stop thinking about Khanin’s conjectures. While waiting for the host to arrive, the young man decided to take out his iPad and check his email.
The information in the iPad made Charan feel more uneasy than before because what was in the email was a recording of a conversation between Vetis and someone in Meenakarin...
Going back to a month ago, after returning home, Jae Jirat had Vetis investigate the case of the attacker with a limp. From the day he brought Khanin back to Emmaly, there had been deaths from poison.
In the meantime, Vetis had been sending interesting information for his close friends to check the nationwide purchase of cyanide, and discovered that three states, Atsawathewathin, Puchongpisut, and Thawetmetha, all used it legally and found out what they used it for.
Only Meenakarin did not purchase this poisonous substance... but even so, Charan could not rest easy and instructed Vetis to keep an eye on them.
Until recently, Vetis’ investigative line was able to infiltrate among the locals, and the other side reported there was new leakage.
The investigation followed from the time when Meenakarin was the only state licensed to open a gold store, before these stores began closing down due to natural disasters affecting the economy of the state. Many shops became empty, but they were still selling poisons, especially cyanide, in large quantities.
This information made Charan feel uneasy.
In truth, it was impossible for the closed gold shops to have enough poison to sell as much as customers required. Some shops closed for years, but still offered the poison for sale in kilograms, including lots to expire in five years’ time.
This meant that Meenakarin might have secretly ordered this poison from abroad, using these gold stores as warehouses... if not, then the poison would have to be old stock, and there should be new stock available all the time.
This further connected with the information learned from Tanattai. Charan was even more confident that there were people trying to create a power base quietly under a very good disguise.
And if everything went according to Khanin’s conjecture on this day, it meant that the person who tried to harm Khanin was one of Prince Waseen’s men...
If this were true, then it would be necessary to be wary of Prince Waseen.
He believed in the sharpness of Khanin’s eyes, even though he was just a child. He was said to be a person who had a sharp gaze, with no prejudice, and the other side would see everything clearly.
There were still many unanswered questions, but it seemed that Khanin’s ideas were bringing him closer to something that had been lingering in his mind that he had never touched upon.
