However, Uchiha Hiko still could not completely trust The Second Prince. Still, he had decided to give The Second Prince a chance. Of course, his word alone did not count; The Eldest Prince had to agree before it could truly proceed.
"I think you should let The Eldest Prince know about this. Telling me now is of no use at all." The one who spoke first was not Uchiha Hiko, but The Second Prince. He, too, could not come up with a perfect response strategy.
"No, Uchiha Hiko. I think you can help me with this." Once again, The Second Prince set down his bowl and chopsticks, then rose to his feet, too lazy even to brush the dust from his clothes.
"What do you mean? I've always helped The Eldest Prince. How can I help you now? What exactly are you talking about?" Regarding what he had just described, Uchiha Hiko truly did not dare give him any definite answer.
"It's like this, Uchiha Hiko. I hope you can say a few good words for me in front of The Eldest Prince and tone down my image a little." Unexpectedly, The Second Prince made such a request.
This undoubtedly put Uchiha Hiko in a difficult position. He had always spoken on The Eldest Prince's behalf, and helping The Second Prince now would likely not be so easy.
No matter what, Uchiha Hiko needed to consider it from many angles. If he fought even more fiercely now, he might not be able to deal with things carefully later on.
"I'll think it over some more. What you said, The Second Prince, really does put me in a bit of a difficult position." At least, that was how Uchiha Hiko saw it, so he needed to think it through very carefully.
