“Certainly.”
“…That said, it would be advantageous for you to have that stopper removed.”
“…Well, I wonder what it is you’re implying.”
When I asked, Alfred played dumb and smiled. Really, he absolutely doesn’t want to reveal his intentions.
“However, because of this matter, there are those who would definitely side Second Prince faction thinking… “Since he doesn’t have a good head on his shoulders, he should be easy to manipulate.” and thus joined delightedly. As for the people who are on our side, they were probably pleased to see Edward showing such an appearance. Therefore, it’s presumably very convenient for you, right?”
“…Well, I won’t disagree that it will not be a disadvantage to me if he becomes a good bait.”
Although Alfred said while smiling wryly, I, too, agreed with him. The people at the top should protect the common people… As of now, there aren’t many aristocrat Houses with prided themselves in doing that.
Or rather, they do things for the prosperity of their own Houses… To be prideful of their social standings for their own self-satisfaction, and repeatedly use their influences for their personal greed. These kinds of people, they will probably also try to make use of the royal family.
