The Journey of the Chairman
25. Episode 25's

The Crown Prince finally decided to return to his palace because his feelings are now chaotic due to his debate with Prince Royce who is also in a bad feeling.

"Damn that boy! He's getting more and more insolent just look if I'm done taking care of the fool, I'll also eliminate him without the knowledge of Uncle and Mother" said Crown Prince Celio angrily.

While at Leonard's place, the man was now soaking in the bathtub while thinking about the incident that had just happened after he returned to the palace.

"I think the relationship between the two brothers was not this bad, but from when their relationship became worse" Leonard said.

The sound of knocking then sounded from outside the room and made Leonard's daydreams scatter because of the sound.

"Who's there?" ask Leonard.

"This is Leo, can I go inside?" ask someone from outside the room.

Leo of course knew who the owner of the voice was because all this time the person had always been with him, that person was none other than Sean, the deputy leader of the royal army.

"Wait a minute" Leonard said from the inside.

After Leonard finished wearing his bathrobe, he went out and met Sean who was waiting for him.

"What are you looking for me, Sean?" ask Leonard.

"Are you planning to stay in the palace?" ask Sean.

"For a while like yes because I have not found a suitable place to live other than in the palace" said Leonard.

"It looks like you need to find a safe place in addition to Leo's palace immediately, now this place is not a suitable place to live because soon it looks like there will be a power struggle I don't want you dragged into this kind of problem" said Sean.

"It also has nothing to do with me, what I'm thinking about" Leonard said.

"It's not like that, though, seeing from your relationship with Her Majesty the Queen for sure she will try to make you side with the Crown Prince as her backer so that he can rise as the next heir and because your support will definitely be a lot the nobles who will take the side of the Crown Prince" Sean said.

"Didn't you ever say that the Crown Prince is not a person worthy of being the next King, because of his reckless nature plus he is very haughty, he said, we cannot give the future of the kingdom to such a person" he continued.

"Even if he's my cousin but I do feel that way and I did say that to Sean" Leonard said.

"Well Sean, I'll think about it again" Leonard said.

"Oh yeah I hope you don't talk like that anymore blatantly, I don't want someone to hear it and you get in trouble for it" he continued.

Sean nodded in understanding and after that he left from Leonard's place and now the man himself and went back to thinking about the words Sena had just said.

"After some thought I should just stay on the battlefield just leading the outpost rather than having to engage with the affairs within the kingdom" Leonard's inner being let out a heavy sigh.

While at Talitha's place, the girl was eating in a restaurant alone.

"Excuse me Miss" said someone who had just come to Talitha.

"Hm, who are you?" ask Talitha.

"Sorry, but may I meet you?" asked the person, he looked like an ordinary customer who also came to eat at the restaurant.

"No, go you interrupt my meal time" Talitha said in an indifferent tone.

"Ck, very arrogant" said the man and left before Talitha.

After finishing his meal Talitha came out of the restaurant and resumed his journey, but his eyes caught a small shop with a sword-making sign.

Not waiting for long Talitha decided to go inside out of curiosity and after getting inside he was really suguhi with some traders whose quality was quite good, he said, but no one was in the place and only he visited.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here?" Talitha.

No one returned the call at all so Talitha decided to continue to look around for items inside the place.

The sound of bells suddenly rang and a black-robed person wearing a mask walked into the shop.

"Chris, are you here?" ask someone new to come.

"Excuse me, are you the assistant who just worked here?" ask the guy.

Talitha then turned around to see who the person who asked her was.

"Who is this weirdo?" inner Talitha.

"Can you answer my question?" ask the masked man.

"I'm just a visitor" Talitha said.

Talitha was wary and suspicious of the person in front of her because she could not feel anything from him.

Hearing Talitha's words, the man turned and left without saying anything.

"Based on a freak" Talitha said.

The girl put the book in her hand and put it back on the shelf where it was.

Suddenly the bell outside again sounded a sign that someone was about to enter, then a middle-aged man appeared by lifting a few boxes.

"Are you the owner of this place?" ask Talitha.

"Yes, then who are you?" ask the old man.

"I just stopped by your place to see some swords and books that were there" Talitha said.

The middle-aged man nodded and took out the items he was carrying from outside.

"By the way, someone came and looked for you" Talitha said.

"Did he say his name?" ask the old man.

"No, he's just looking for a guy named Chris" Talitha said.

"It turns out that kid oh yeah I haven't introduced myself, I'm Chris, the guy in the car and also the swordsman and some of the writing you see" said the old man who turned out to be named Chris.

"She looks strange, why she covers her face with a mask" Talitha said.

"Hahaha, then what's the reason you're wearing that veil?" ask old man Chris.

Talitha just kept quiet and knew what the old man Chris was saying and he didn't ask any more.

"Well since I've seen the stuff in your place, I'll be leaving soon" Talitha said.

"Wait a minute Miss, may I know your name?" ask old man Chris.

"Talitha" Talitha said and then out of the old man Chris.

After leaving Chris' old man's place, Talitha decides to return to his shop.

...----------------...

Meanwhile somewhere else, the Prince of the Cafel had just returned to the palace.

"There's something I want to say, your majesty" said Ciel.

"Say" said the Kafel.

"I saw Leonard's army leader just returned from the battlefield and I suspect this has something to do with what the Prime Minister and Queen have planned" Ciel said.
