The room became silent.
A dangerous silence.
"Go ahead. Tell me what you think about my revenge. My motivation for revenge can be understood, but why do you think that I'm taking revenge by helping the Imperial Palace?"
Gideon leaned back slightly and folded his hands.
"Alright, let us talk about your revenge then."
Kiara remained silent.
Her eyes settled on him.
Meanwhile, the prince continued calmly.
"After analyzing everything from the moment you entered the Imperial City, a pattern slowly emerged before me."
He paused.
"At first, you acquired a store."
"Then you lived quietly as an ordinary weapon seller with traditional swords and bows and such equipment on the wall."
His lips curved faintly.
"Or at least that was what everyone believed."
The prince slowly shook his head.
"Yet from that store, for some reason, emerged weapons no one had ever seen before."
His voice remained calm.
"Firearms."
"The first stone dropped into still water."
"The first ripple."
