Chapter 2013. Angia's Plan
Angia and his companions had come to Sky Palace because they had to. The rest of the Feather race was depending on them to make friends with the Sky.
They wanted to quickly integrate with the population of Sky Palace so they could be considered natural members. When they came there, they brought a lot of treasures to hand out. Blood Feather Knife was one of them.
But it wasn’t as simple as handing out gifts to the first Sky they met. They weren’t entirely sure how the greedy elders of Sky Palace would react when they made their treasures available. And if the Feathers’ goods were simply taken from them, it would do little to grow their relationship with the Sky.
Angia only made the offer to the crowd because Han Sen hadn’t come to the knife event. When he put the Blood Feather Knife on display, he had no plan to receive it back.
Of the Sky students attending the knife event, one of them was the third elder’s son. He was an Earl called Wind Nineteen. The third elder used knives, and so his son used knives, too.
The third elder was in charge of interacting with the Feathers, so the Feathers planned to give the Blood Feather Knife to him.
If they simply handed it to the third elder, though, it might not make much of an impression. He was an elder, and it was fair to say he had no lack of King class weapons already. But if Wind Nineteen could win the knife in this knife event, it’d make everyone look good. When he received the knife as a prize, it would be far more memorable.
Angia couldn’t just give the knife to Wind Nineteen, but if Wind Nineteen believed he used his own strength to win the knife, then the Feathers wouldn’t curry any favor. It had taken a little while for the Feathers to devise a plan.
Angia had to win a few rounds before losing to him. That way, Wind Nineteen would know that he was receiving a gift meant for him.
