"The reason is simple, because of those two letters."
Hulim replied.
"Those two letters?"
"Yes, it seems that those two letters were written by you to Crawford, but in fact, the real purpose of these two letters is to let us see..."
... ...
Time goes back to when Crawford first met the "investor"...
"... Tell me your purpose right now, or I'll call the guards!"
"Hehe~, is that really the case~?"
The "investor" looked at the minister in front of him with a joking look.
"When the Third Prince Diodore fell from power, you silently betrayed him. My dear Minister of State, how do you think the Third Prince views you now?"
"Third, Third Prince..."
Crawford's lips turned pale.
"You, you were sent by the Third Prince to kill me?!"
"Hehe, don't get me wrong, if that's the case, why would I tell you all this~?"
"So what exactly do you want to do..."
"I'm here just to tell you something."
The "investor" spoke in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
"Just as you feared just now, Diodore is indeed planning to kill you~!"
"W-what?!"
Crawford turned pale with fear.
"I'm the Minister of State, he can't do this! And I belong to Her Highness Felena now!"
"Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Minister~."
The "investor" sneered.
"Aren't you clear about your situation?"
"I... ..."
"You were originally a spy planted by the Third Prince in the Felenna faction. What do you think would happen if Felenna knew about this? And—"
"The position of a Minister of State? How ridiculous! You don't know who will take your place if you die, do you?"
“… …”
Crawford's face became increasingly grim.
The "investor" continued talking as if he didn't notice his state.
"...After your death, Ferenna will definitely think that it was the Crown Prince's faction that was responsible, right?"
"The situation will then turn into a conflict between the First Prince's faction and the Fourth Princess's faction. The real mastermind, the Third Prince, will not only be able to eliminate you, the traitor, but also reap the benefits. Do you think there's any reason for the Third Prince not to do so?"
"I, I..."
Crawford suddenly collapsed to the ground with a sad face.
He knew very well that what "investors" said was reality.
The third prince probably really wants to kill himself.
"What should I do? Although I have indeed sided with Her Highness Felena, I have never done anything detrimental to the Third Prince. Moreover, I have made many contributions to him in the past. Why would he be so heartless?!"
"Huh! How naive!"
The "investor" said disdainfully.
"Why? You're a minister, and you still can't figure out why. Do you think you're playing a child's game? What's the point of your merits? You betrayed me, and that alone is reason enough to kill you!"
The words of the "investor" were like a heavy hammer, hitting Crawford's heart again and again.
"...So am I just going to wait for death?"
"Haha~, of course not~!"
"Investor" said with a smile on his face, that smile looked like the pattern on the back of a spider weaving a big web in the dark.
"Didn't I tell you~?"
"I'm here to save you~. As long as you cooperate with me, I will find a way to save you~!"
Crawford slowly raised his head.
Looking at the dim light, the "investor's" face was obscured by shadows and could not be seen clearly.
"... ...you?"
"Haha, it seems you still don't believe it. Well, it's unlikely that you'll believe me so quickly. I'll give you some time to think about it. Once you've verified it yourself and found out whether the Third Prince really wants to kill you, then you can decide whether you want to cooperate with me."
“… …”
A few days after meeting the "investor".
Crawford tried every possible way and finally found an old acquaintance and secretly met with him to find out his opinion...
"What do you want from me? Do you want to kill me?!"
Bozera said angrily.
"I'm sorry... Bozera, you're one of the few people who knows my true situation. I just want to know what the Third Prince's attitude towards me is right now."
Crawford pleaded.
"you--!"
Bozera looked furious.
But looking at his friend's pleading look, he finally sighed helplessly.
"well... ..."
After a long while, he slowly said:
"Crawford..."
"May the best be for you."
Hearing this, Crawford's heart completely sank into an ice cave...
In the end, he left the secret meeting place with a distraught look on his face.
Bozera looked at his back, shook his head helplessly, and returned to his home.
But he had just returned home not long ago...
"Bozera, His Highness Diodore wants to see you."
The two men sent by Diodore looked at Bozera with indifference.
