It was a more aningful promise than it seed.
Asking not to be betrayed ant that he would have to stand by his side unconditionally.
And if he thinks about it more deeply, he would not be able to betray him even if their interests diverged later, so he wouldn't be able to kill him either.
'Does he know how important that content is?'
The bet's content was very light, but the two's inner thoughts were very complicated.
It was that important of a bet.
"The bet's condition seems a bit weak, doesn't it? I don't even know what kind of person you are, so what's the aning of this? But I need soone I can trust and rely on as my assistant. I don't know if you'll betray or not."
"No, I think there will be so aning to it."
Rockefeller smiled subtly.
"Is that so?"
"If I win."
The following words were quite ominous.
"I'll do the opposite for you."
"Ha, that's great. To openly say you'll betray ..."
Although he said that, Rockefeller's expression tightened slightly.
It was because he could be in danger if he made a mistake.
'Well, it's a sure thing, but it's kind of scary.'
From Rockefeller's perspective, the matter related to the Magic Stone Tank was a very certain story.
It was a confird story from the novel.
However, the thought that his life would either be free from the threat of Ismail or assassinated before he could even unfold his will depending on the outco gave him chills.
"So you're saying I shouldn't use you as my assistant?"
"It seems like a small bet you've made, so what's the big deal? I'm just saying it for fun."
When Ricardo laughed, Rockefeller couldn't help but laugh as well.
"That's true. It's a bet I made without much thought anyway."
"That's what it is. So don't take it too seriously. Would I betray you for that?"
"Ha ha, yes, that's right. You wouldn't betray ."
With that, the two continued their conversation as they moved back towards the store.
Of course, the topic of conversation was about the upcoming 1st Prince.
Ricardo was the first to ask a question.
"Do you know about the Blade Queen?"
The Blade Queen, Trinity Tepez.
She, like Nightlord Isabella, was one of the heroines who beca involved with the protagonist, Lee Han.
"The Blade Queen... The na itself is scary. Yes, I've heard of her. I've heard she's from the Tepez family and has been making a na for herself on the battlefield alongside Prince Ryan."
"She's with the 1st Prince. It'll be hard to handle if the 1st Prince cos looking for you."
"More than that, I have a question."
"What is it?"
"How do you know all these stories so well? The Blade Queen... It's difficult for ordinary people to know about her if they're not soldiers."
At Rockefeller's question, Ricardo replied without any change in expression.
"I've heard a lot while traveling around. So I know even useless stories."
It was a versatile answer that Rockefeller often used.
'It's similar to how I answer. I also dodge around saying I've heard a lot here and there.'
"I see. I thought you knew a lot."
Ricardo continued the conversation.
"And the Blade Queen really wants Prince Ryan to succeed the throne. They're from the sa family and share the sa blood. She might even beco the Empress by marrying Prince Ryan soday."
Incest.
It was a not-so-uncommon occurrence in noble families who did not want their power to leak out.
"They must know that incest is bad, right?"
"But there are cases where they have to resort to incest to protect their family's power. Of course, they also occasionally accept outside blood to minimize the damage caused by incest. Of course, they only choose good blood. diocre blood can't surpass the Tepez blood."
The Blade Queen becos the Empress?
Rockefeller wanted to shake his head outright.
'It's almost impossible when she's already in sync with soone else.'
Why would the protagonist be the protagonist?
Isn't it because he's a heroine killer?
'Besides, if they stick together, I'll see that woman soon. The main heroine.'
"That's right."
Ricardo's words continued.
"It's that difficult of a situation. Whether it's the 1st Prince or the Blade Queen, you'll have a hard ti. If you cater to them, the Sinclair family won't stay still. Do you know about the Nightlord ? That scary magician might co looking for you."
Rockefeller nodded as if he understood everything.
"Everyone will think that way. What power do we have? We're just a bunch of guys with nothing but money. The ones who co looking for us, as well as those who have been in a relationship with us, will all think that way."
Rockefeller's expression then beca quite serious.
"But all those thoughts will change with this opportunity. From the mont I beco the guild leader, I plan to announce to the whole world that our Lyon Guild is no longer weak."
This was also a promise that Rockefeller had made to his guild mbers when he beca the guild leader.
"The first sacrificial lamb might be the one who cos looking for ."
The following words.
"Are we powerless? Isn't power sothing you can buy with money? Just watch. Let's see if the 1st Prince who cos looking for can really put up a fight in front of ."
Ricardo had doubts about his words, but Rockefeller had a plan.
'Soon I'll have to et that guy. Hes a difficult guest to invite, but there's nothing money can't do.'
"I can assure you. It's probably impossible."
