The expression on the fourth prince's face made it very clear that he was filled with regret over what he had done.
But the look in his eyes made it clear that he knew that what he had done was for the best.
If he hadn't done this, it would be unknown what would have happened to their kingdom.
So in the end, he knew that he had done what needed to be done and wouldn't go back on what he had done in the end.
But that didn't an that I didn't think that he was still the better candidate for the throne. Rather, it made even certain that he was the better candidate for the throne since he was the one that truly cared about the kingdom and knew what was the best for the kingdom.
If soone like him was on the throne, then the kingdom would surely enter a new age of prosperity.
It shouldn't be soone like who had nothing to his na that should be on the throne.
I wanted to say sothing, but the fourth prince cut off by saying, "This is the plan that we've laid out all this ti, it's already too late for us to go back. We can only finish this plan and do our best for the people of the kingdom."
I looked at him with a look of pity when I heard this, but the fourth prince shook his head before saying with a smile, "Don't feel sad for , this is already the best ending for . After all, the original plan would have resulted in my death."
It wasn't just who was shocked to hear this, Angela was also shocked when she heard this.
After all, it seed like she didn't know anything about this plan either.
The fourth prince saw the looks that we gave him and he explained, "In the beginning, we were afraid that the person that big sister married wouldn't have enough prestige to take the throne. So to counter that, I would have organized a coup and then tried to take the throne from our royal father. The one that would have stopped in the end would be the one that big sister chose and then that would have given them the prestige to take the throne."
As soon as he said this, I couldn't help revealing a very complicated look.
That was because this was the last piece of the puzzle that I needed.
The plot in the ga, I realize now that it was only the tip of the iceberg…
Why had the fourth prince started his coup to try and take the throne?
It was all because of this plan that he was currently talking about.
So it turned out that behind the noble plotline in the ga was another plotline like this that the players never learned about.
If they had done different things, would they have found this secret plotline involving the fourth prince?
As this revelation hit , I started to realize that perhaps…the knowledge that I had brought to this world on the ga that this world was based on wasn't as useful as I thought it was.
I had thought that I had perfectly cleared the ga and learned everything that I needed to know about the ga, but it seed that there were many secrets about the ga that I didn't know yet.
It seed that there were secrets that no player had ever discovered about this ga…
Did the developers intentionally put these things in the ga or was it a result of coincidence that these things were in the ga in the first place?
I couldn't help feeling smaller and smaller as these revelations hit one by one.
The fourth prince had been looking at with a strange and confused look when he saw the daze that I was in, but he still gave a cough before saying, "Anyway, since Brother Zwein already has his prestige from the war, there is no need for to put my life down to pave the way for Brother Zwein to take the throne. This really is the best ending for ."
With a sigh, he said in a voice that almost seed sad, "Perhaps now I can finally achieve my dream of living a normal life."
I looked at him with a complicated expression when I heard this.
The fourth prince saw this, so he said with a smile, "Of course, I knew that this isn't possible since there are still many things that we have to do for our kingdom."
With a bow to , he said, "So if you are willing, I hope that you will allow to serve as your pri minister for the ti being."
I was surprised to see the fourth prince acting like this, but I quickly shook my head as I said, "No, no, I haven't even agreed to take the throne yet."
The king and the fourth prince looked at each other with bitter smiles before turning back to look at . The king just calmly said, "There's no going back now, everything has been set into motion. If you do not cooperate with our plan, then all that is left is chaos for our kingdom. Eventually, it will even lead to the complete collapse of this kingdom that our ancestors built."
I was completely caught off guard by these words from the king.
I just looked at him with narrowed eyes for a bit before suddenly saying, "That's a threat, isn't it?"
The king gave a knowing smile without saying a thing.
When I turned to the fourth prince, I found that he had the sa smile on his face.
These two knew exactly what they were doing and they felt no sha about it…
Perhaps it was because this was the only option that they had…
The straw that broke the cal's back was Angela.
She turned to look at and put her hand on my arm with a pleading look.
Even though it was clear that she wasn't willing to accept all this, she knew that she had no choice. It was the duty that she had to the kingdom and her family that compelled her to try and convince to accept this.
In the end, I had no choice but to say with a sigh, "Fine."
