Chapter 241: Camellia Family (VII)


    Byrne Camellia stood still for a while before going back to his chair and sat down.


    Afterward, he red at Leon Camellia who held a lovestruck look at Krista Dragoon with an angry expression.


    "Get the hell out of here you useless brat," Byrne Camellia roared at Leon Camellia as he gushed some of his mana to kick Leon Camellia out of the room.


    "B-But father" Leon Camellia tried to argue to stay in the room but stopped when he could feel Byrne Camellia was about to murder him.


    Thus, he ran away as soon as possible. Otherwise, he''s afraid of what Byrne Camellia would arrange for him in the future.


    Meanwhile, Byrne Camelliaughed awkwardly as he looked at Krista Dragoon.


    "My apologies for being incapable of teaching my useless son." Byrne Camellia then said.


    "Haha, it''s alright since he didn''t have any malicious intent toward me. Besides, loving someone is not something anyone can control," Krista Dragoon smiled briefly as she sat on the couch next to Zen.


    At the same time, Daphne Camellia was standing still like a wooden log without knowing what she should do.


    "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take a seat when you''re the one who made this meeting arrangement," Byrne Camellia twitched his brows when he saw Daphne Camellia being in a daze.


    Daphne Camellia snapped out of her daze and nodded her head. "U-Uh, yes, I will take a seat"


    Only at this moment did Daphne Camellia realize that the only avable spot left is the couch next to Zen.


    Seeing her still standing, Byrne Camellia m on the table in anger, "Are you going to sit down, or do you want to get out like your elder brother?"


    Daphne Camellia shuddered in fear as she quickly sat next to Zen in an awkward position.


    Zenughed heartily upon seeing this scene and smiled, "Ai, so Patriarch Byrne is really cured of the initial illness that prevented him from meeting any guests before."


    And he continued, "Luckily we came in abruptly otherwise, we might have to wait for another century for Patriarch Byrne to be cured."


    Byrne Camellia twitched his mouth slightly when he heard Zen''s word and tried tough it off.


    "Haha, indeed, this illness is really weird when I''m a mage yet somehow contracted an illness. I would have be aughing stock for others if this were toe to be known." Byrne Camellia said cheekily.


    ''This is why I hate merchant people the most. Their usage of words is annoying as hell.'' Zen cursed inwardly while he smiled on the surface.


    However, it was obvious that it would only be a matter of time before they shed together.


    "How about we begin the reason for this meeting, to begin with?" Krista Dragoon coughed slightly and intervened in their conversation.


    As much as she wants to nitpick him for trying toe up with a half-baked excuse, her goal is more important than anything. Being petty about it and causing displeasure for Byrne Camellia wouldn''t be worth it.


    Byrne Camellia stopped chatting with Zen as well since he wasn''t going to make their rtionship sour right away.


    ''The fact that the Kaiso family who are known for their brute and aggressiveness to be willing to ally themselves with Princess Krista- there must be something she''s hiding.'' Byrne Camellia eximed inwardly as his spy informed him of this shocking news.


    Never in his life would he expect the Kaiso family would be the first noble family to join a side and it''s for a princess, not the crown prince.


    The empress has dered her intention in pushing the crown prince to the throne so it was almost a given that Princess Krista has lost a lot of power yet it seemed like that was just a rumor.


    "Heh, Princess Krista, let''s not beat around the bush anymore and talk about your real intention for meeting me," Byrne Camellia said straightforwardly and continued.


    "Just a heads up though, but I mostly preferred to stay out of politics and remained my job as a merchant, selling whatever is trending."


    Krista Dragoon nodded her head in understanding. "I believe you would change your mind after we will show you something."


    Afterward, Krista Dragoon tugged on Zen''s clothes to signal him to show his tinum card out for Byrne Camellia to see.


    Zen noticed her signal and retrieved the tinum card out for Krista Dragoon.


    "Make sure to not drop it," Zen sent a mental transmission to her to warn her because he has been traumatized by the ability of the tinum card already.


    He can''t afford to have it on someone else''s hand other than the people he trusts.


    Krista Dragoon nodded her head and showed the tinum card for Byrne Camellia to see.


    Byrne Camellia shuddered as he stood up with a gawking expression, almost like he didn''t dare to believe the card was real.


    ''T-That''s a tinum card n-no wonder the Kaiso family surrendered themselves without struggling or retaliating against the culprit of their heir.'' Byrne Camellia eximed inwardly.


    Meanwhile, Daphne Camellia was confused by her father''s overreaction and wondered what''s so special about the tinum card.


    ''Isn''t it just a card made out of tinum? We can have multiple of those if we ask someone to craft for us.'' Daphne Camellia said inwardly as she decided to keep quiet.


    Byrne Camellia took a few moments to calm his agitated emotion before looking at Zen with a solemn expression.


    His spies have never told him about Zen having a tinum card and he had almost made a blunder by going against him.


    ''Damn it, those spies managed to leave out crucial information. Seems like I need to punish them harder to let them know what it means to fail on their duty.'' Byrne Camellia cursed inwardly as he cleared his throat softly.


    Afterward, he nced at Daphne Camellia briefly, "You can leave the room now, Daphne, we have something important to discuss."


    Daphne Camellia held a disbelief expression at her father''s indecisive action. She was ordered to stay previously and now, she was ordered to leave.
