Chapter 241
“…Reason to oppose?”
Jin remembered how Hayman had looked at him earlier. Now it was his turn to provide a proper reason.
As if telling him to try and persuade, he faced the duke more leisurely. The smile suggesting that if he couldn’t, he should admit his own foolishness was a bonus. With the slight urging nod, Ian’s image strongly overlapped.
“The reason depends on what Your Highness comes up with.”
“You throw out the topic, and I’m to provide the reason?”
The larger the Ministry of Magic’s power grew, the more it primarily benefited Jin. With no blood relatives to rely on, including his father and mother, Ian had firmly stepped up as his protector. As long as he was the Minister of the Ministry of Magic, the department’s strength would directly correlate to Jin’s position.
It might be a different story if it ever threatened the throne, but the Ian that Jin knew was too intelligent to allow such a problem to arise.
“I’m not truly suggesting you oppose it. Aren’t you curious about what fish live in the water? It’s a kind of advice to use it like a stirring stick. Your Highness is still young and might not understand, but there’s nothing as murky as people’s hearts.”
Jin erased his smile and glared at Hayman. A very familiar feeling crept up. Wasn’t it remarkably similar to the venomous words Arsen had used to torment his soul for ten years?
