Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 641 High Risk, High Returns

“What do we do now?” The First Prince of the Magdar Kingdom, Dylan Von Magdar, asked his four siblings, who were in the meeting room with him. “If the Tidebringer supports Ramona, then none of us will have a chance to become King.”

“I asked Father to talk to the Tidebringer yesterday and convince him to not declare his support to Ramona publicly,” the Second Prince, Rufus Von Magdar, stated. “I had breakfast with Father earlier, and he only said that the Tidebringer would think about it.”

“Think about it?” the Third Prince, Myles Von Magdar, snorted. “He’s just delaying the inevitable.”

“There is a way to turn this situation around,” the Fourth Prince, Amir Von Magdar, commented. “We just need to make the Tidebringer an offer he can’t refuse.”

“Easier said than done,” Prince Myles scoffed. “Can you possibly offer the Tidebringer something he can’t get or achieve by himself? Women? Money? Power? Influence? This is something he can ask for just by simply raising his hand. Do you really think there's something that would make him consider not making his support public?”

“Isn't that why we are all here?” Prince Amir arched an eyebrow. “We need to think of a way to convince the Tidebringer to play by the rules. Right now, his only concern is Ramona.

“If we can guarantee her safety during the selection process and promise that none of us will mistreat her when we become King, then it's possible that he will not interfere in the fight for the throne.

“That being said, it will be wise to stop any assassination plans that you have already planned for the entirety of the selection process. This is a critical time, and I advise all of you to not do something stupid.”

Prince Dylan, who was the oldest among the Princes, sneered.

“Do you think I don’t know that you were the one who instigated our sixth brother to send Pirates to capture Ramona during her trip to the Island of Kings?” Prince Dylan mocked. “You are the one who should put a stop to whatever you are doing, Amir. If you jeopardize this selection, I will end you. remember that, okay?”

The corner of Prince Amir’s lips rose, but he didn’t say anything. He merely smiled, which made his brothers look at him in contempt.

“Still, Amir has a point,” Prince Rufus stated. “If we want to convince the Tidebringer, we should make an Oath to not hurt Ramona. Of course, we can also use a more… bold approach to ensure that he will listen to our proposal.”

“A bold approach?” Prince Myles frowned. “What are you thinking? Are you perhaps thinking of assassinating the Tidebringer himself?”

“Perish the thought, brother,” Prince Rufus shook his head. “I am not stupid enough to do that. What I am saying is that we have other options here. Take for example the Tidebringer’s sister. If we can convince her to side with us, then the possibility of making him stay neutral is possible.”

“If we can’t convince her?” Prince Amir arched an eyebrow.

“Well, there are plenty of ways to make ladies understand their place,” Prince Rufus smiled faintly. “The only question is, are any of you here brave enough to do it?”

The three other Princes looked at Prince Rufus with a frown.

Among all the Princes, the Second Prince of the Magdar Kingdom was best known for being a womanizer. So far, there was no lady in the Kingdom who had managed to reject his advances.

They even believed that he was using some kind of magic that specifically targeted ladies, making them subservient to him.

“You’re playing with fire, Rufus,” Prince Myles, who had always been the most vocal among the Princes’ frowned. “Lady Joanne is the Tidebringer’s sister. If you even harm a strand of her hair, you’d become fish food.”

Prince Rufus shrugged because he was confident in his abilities. Also, he was very curious to know if his charm would work against the Tidebringer’s sister, whom he believed would be the key to him becoming the King of the Magdar Kingdom.

If he succeeds in winning Joanne, then he could force Ethan to publicly declare his support toward him in exchange for his sister's safe return.

It was a risky move, but if his gamble succeeded, then he would be guaranteed a Kingdom.

Also, although Joanne was young, he believed that in a few years, she would become a peerless beauty who would be the perfect Queen candidate for him.

“That look on your face, I can already see what you’re thinking,” Prince Amir chuckled. “High risk, high returns, right?”

“Exactly.” Prince Rufus nodded. “So, are you guys in or out?”

The three other Princes’ remained silent, knowing that this was a really risky move. They also understood that if Prince Rufus succeeded, the only one who would benefit from this affair was him.

“I’m not joining this plan.” Prince Dylan stated. “I’m not that desperate to die just yet.”

“I’m not joining it either.” Prince Myles crossed his arms over his chest. “I have my principles compared to a degenerate like you, Rufus.”

“I’ll think about it,” Prince Amir commented. “As long as you can offer me benefits with this plan, I don’t mind lending a hand. However, the benefits must be worthwhile, okay?”

A devilish smile appeared on Prince Rufus' face after hearing the smartest among his brothers.

If Prince Amir were to really join hands with him, then the success rate of beguiling the Tidebringer’s cute little sister would increase.

Prince Dylan and Prince Myles stood up and bid their two brothers farewell.

They felt that if they stayed inside the room, then their devilish brother would find ways to tempt them and make them join this nefarious plan of his.

“Those two are so straight-laced,” Prince Rufus laughed. “They’re not like you, Amir. You understand where the winning side is.”

“Winning side?” Prince Amir shook his head. “What you are planning isn’t considered winning, but suicidal. But, then again, the Tidebringer is really a big variable, and I don’t want him interfering with the selection.

“As long as you succeed in… charming his sister, then you have already won halfway. As long as you don’t touch his bottom line, I think you will be able to get away with this plan of yours.” 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝔢𝔴𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝔠𝔬𝖒

“Don’t worry. Although I admit that she is indeed very attractive, she’s still too young for my taste,” Prince Rufus replied. “But after four or five years, she’ll definitely become a beauty that would cause the downfall of a nation.”

Prince Amir sneered internally as he looked at his brother, who already believed that he had the Tidebringer’s sister in his embrace.

‘Beauty and misplaced ambition will become your downfall, you fool,’ Prince Amir mused. ‘And I’ll be there to see it happen.’

‘This bastard thinks that I don’t know what he is thinking,’ Prince Rufus laughed internally. ‘Oh, Amir. You really think you’re so smart, right? I’ve always wanted to see the look of desperation and defeat on your face. It will be a wonderful memory that I will always cherish when I ascend the throne and become king.’

The two Princes smiled at each other, not knowing what the other was thinking.

Both of them thought that the other was a fool, not knowing that just outside of the window, a little doll was clinging to the wall.

It had heard everything that the Princes’ had talked about and had already passed this information to its Mistress, who was currently looking in the direction of their location with a sneer plastered on her adorable face.
