Episode 5: This Is Way Too Explicit – Chapter 20.1

Calian took his hands off his face and looked up.

His face was hardened in anger.

It was only to be expected.

Calian was the one who ought to be the most enraged in this situation.

Of course, it was merely an expression that Calian had created to show the others.

Calians true feelings were the exact opposite.

He could even kneel and praise Franzs tongue for saying such things out loud.

For once, Franz, youre being helpful!

Calian glanced at Rumein.

What Calian wanted from Rumein wasnt for him to be enraged and punish Franz.

It was just the opposite—he wanted Rumein to turn a blind eye.

That would bring him the most good.

As if Rumein had read Calians wish, he really didnt do anything.

He didnt scold Franz or warn him of a later punishment or stare at him with disgust.

He merely turned to the front and nodded at the grand chamberlain to signal the start of the second act.

Silica bit her lip.

It was as if Rumein just showed everyone that he did not, and would not expect anything from Franz even in the future.

Calian once again smiled to himself.

How far will you take this, Silica He was sure that Silica would somehow try to cover up the situation.

Calian was looking forward to how it might happen.

The fan broke with a crushing noise in Silicas grip.

This stupid child… I told him to stay put!

Rumein was well aware that Franz was misbehaved.

There was no way that he wouldnt know, considering that he even banned Franz from drinking ever since he stood in front of the public while drunk.

Therefore, he could brush off Franzs rudeness to Calian as part of his usual personality.

However, he had crossed the line by insulting Freya, the late royal concubine, in public by bringing up her origin—and moreover, in front of Rumein who loved Freya dearly.

Franz… Silica glanced at Franz.

He must know what he had just done.

Thats how she had raised him..

When Silica met Franzs eyes, chills crawled up her spine.

Franz didnt look surprised or regretful.

…you did it on purpose.

One corner of Franzs lips was turned up ever so slightly.

That was when she realised that he had said it on purpose.

It was clear that he was pulling this stunt to protest her visit earlier this morning.

Silicas silent cry fell short to Franz.

Why today, Franz!

Alan Manassil had visited the palace.

Calians name was included in the noblemens discussion about the next crown prince.

On the same day, Franz made an irrevocable mistake.

Nothing needed to be said about what the nobles who were straddling the boundary of Brissens line of power would think and do.

Silica bit her lip once again and faced the front.

Although the second act was well on its way, nobody in the reserved seats were paying attention to it.

Silica and Calian both continued on with their trains of thought—Silica to mend this situation, and Calian to use it..

“Dear lord…”

At the same time but at a different place, Melfir sighed upon finding something.

It was both a sigh of relief as well as surprise.

In front of him lay a halfway-cut rope.

“If this had fallen on top of His Majesty…!”

Just the thought of it was enough to make him feel as if he was being suffocated.

Melfir quickly began taking measures so that the rope would not be damaged any further and guarded the rope so that nobody could approach it until the end of the show.

When he finally had the room to breath, Melfir turned and looked down.

The black-haired prince who had warned him so that he could prevent this accident—hence saving his life—was sitting in his seat with perfect composure.

Melfir recalled the face that Calian had made when Melfir told Rumein that he must give up sitting next to the King after taking Calians advice to heart.

The expression of the youngest prince was akin to that of a teacher who was watching his student successfully solve a difficult problem.

Moreover, he didnt seem to be concerned at all about what was going on up here.

Calian didnt seem anxious about Melfir heeding his warning and solving the issue..

Even if today goes by without any trouble, His Highness wont look for me again.

Melfir instinctively realised that Calian hadnt saved his life expecting something in return.

Yet, Melfir was born a merchant, and he had never engaged in a trade without a price.

“Dear lord…” gulped Melfir.

* * *

The show was over, and the basket didnt fall.

I guess he took care of it properly.

Just in case, Calian stood up and bought some time by talking to Yan.

Calian only left the reserved seating area after Randall and Franz had left.

As expected, the accident didnt happen.

When they walked down the stairs, Melfir was waiting for them.

“It was a good show,” complimented Rumein.

He didnt say anything about Melfirs failure to stay by the Kings side.

In fact, he was relieved that Melfir wasnt there to see Franzs ill behaviour.

“Im glad that you enjoyed it, Your Majesty.” Melfir remained humble.

Meanwhile, Calian glanced not at Melfir, but Silica—who was, in turn, eyeing Melfir.

Although a small flash of curiosity took refuge in Calians eyes, it wasnt so obvious for someone to notice.

Theres no reaction from Silica.

Indeed, Franz had caused trouble today.

However, that aside, Silica would never look past an accident that should have already happened.

She wasnt so stupid as to forget about something so important just because of Franzs blunder.

Silica wasnt even paying attention to Melfirs words of gratitude.

She doesnt seem to be caring about the accident at all.

If Silica doesnt even know about the accident… that means that it was all just Lennons plan.

Calians thoughts tangled and intertwined with each other once again.

“I hope to see you at the ball, then,” said Melfir, looking at the three princes.

Although his words were specifically aimed at Calian, Calian acknowledged Melfirs greeting with no particular reaction and seated himself on Ravens back.
