Thank you for the full chapter, which was a pleasure to read without the annoying breaks between. Thank you, so much.

This Fucking Idiot.... Short sight ass

Amagi doesn't count because she's the primary unit. All the others is just secondary addition.

Here we are, the succession war. This is gonna take a long time.

on a scale of one to five namak's how we lookin?

How is a 3rd prince younger than Wallace who is the 100th or so?

Wait, so it is confirmed that he fckd his maid? Did I miss that?

It has been implied that he did the deed when he first got her ordered and made to his specifications. Otherwise basically it was implied anytime was possible between her arrival and before his first schooling.
Keep in mind, the attitude towards people having sex-bots/fully sentient machine in this universe is antipathy and/or ridicule of the person in general and neutral at best (really, nobody should care). In short, having sex-play with a robot doesn't count and Liam will remain a "virgin" for a quite a while longer in the story. And yes, there will be more ladies introduced, but all of them will have their flaw(s) and/or simply not sexually appealing to Liam.

While the lore reason is because Amagi is treated as a sex bot, the main reason we missed the sex scenes is because the author is allergic towards showing Liam's relationship with Amagi or any woman. They would rather focus on the gay jokes.

IF the 3rd prince actually has such fortune to buy the amount of rare metals Banfield supplied (remember, it's large enough to get the Empire overall out of shortage) he'd probably been taken more seriously by the other 2 princes.

Even if 3rd prince try to sell it to the rest of empire, it'd take absolute retard to not see it's from Liam's, which means anyone buying from 3rd prince might incur the wrath of 1st/2nd prince and avoid buying just to not paint target on their back.
Especially considering in this very same chapter the 2nd prince is willing to make up false charges.

The 3rd prince wouldn't need any existing capital to act as the middleman. It would be a deal with Liam. The 3rd prince merely gets a slice of the overall profit. No matter how it was presented on paper. Would anyone buy from him? Of course they would. The emperor himself wouldn't allow the whole economy of the empire to collapse because of the game of thrones between the princes. The princes don't seem currently all that powerful. The real dangers only appear once one of them has become the new emperor. Then the other princes may face the headsman and their most important supporters could face the horrible fate Rosetta's family suffered for a millennium, after the the prince they were backing lost the race to the throne. However, I doubt businesses really face such a danger as much as noble families. Businesses tend to go for the profit, no matter who is the ruler. The rulers, new and old, also know that. The rulers also need the businesses to keep the economy running.

"i can just sanction them"
no you can't
sanctions literally always stop working when the sanctioned country has enough resources that the sanctioning country needs

Especially for Liam's territory.
Worst case scenario is that it's going to mildly inconvenience his subjects who want to do business or contact other people in different territories within the empire.

mc gonna kiru you, boy

Tariff wars!

Such a nice move from Guide to stir unrest in the empire to allow even underdog third prince Liam supports to come to power in the resulting chaos.

so... what you're saying is that the only fucking Liam will do (other than Amagi) is fucking other men over?

 

[BlackSword]

What can I say, no one voted on the poll, lol. Ultimately, I figured I should just keep using the same one. (I do plan on using Wild Words for Blue-blooded Assassin, though.)

There was a poll? I didn't know, otherwise, I would have voted.

 

[Merliun]

Thank you for the chapter.

Some users here mentioned this being a long arc, should i let this series simmer a bit (20+chapters) before i continue reading it then?

 

[StLL]

ah.. and to think he went around publicly exclaiming he fucked a ai onahole forgeting that ai robots are just seen as tools. LOL

Again, the 2nd prince is willing to try this sanction BECAUSE the Empire's rare metal situation is no longer dire. He's not THAT stupid.

"Business" as a whole don't face danger, no, but 'people' in the business do. See the section where 2nd prince talk about the 2 merchants supporting Liam.

The oil situation in RL is not dire despite the Iran war. But still millions upon millions people are extremely upset when filling up at the fuel station. Trucking and bus companies have no choice but to raise their prices considerably. Economies are growing slower because of high oil prices. But there's still oil, so it's not dire.

If the supply is cut, the prices will go up, regardless of present warehouse situation, because wholesale buys for the future, not for the present. If the 3rd prince then appears offering a cheaper supply, he would get happy customers.

I'm not yet sure the 2nd prince isn't that stupid. He seemed pretty stupid. At least he's not so stupid he would keep advisors who only tell him what they imagine he wants to hear.

 

[MadlySoldier]

At least seem like 1st Prince decides not to act rashly currently, while 2nd... is preparing himself a nice rope on his neck.

It's not dire IS THE POINT. The sanction will affect the market and many will not be happy, but there being reserves is the whole reason why they're ok doing it.
If things are more desperate like before Liam supplied them earlier, then even 2nd prince might not be willing to try this option. That's why he brought up the pre-Liam situation vs current situation at the time.

If the supply is cut, the prices will go up, regardless of present warehouse situation, because wholesale buys for the future, not for the present. If the 3rd prince then appears offering a cheaper supply, he would get happy customers.

Again, people might feel hesitant to buy if it might incurs the wrath of 2nd prince. You can't be 'happy customer' if you're dead.

Also, the chapter has one of 2nd prince's advisor literally point out Liam can ALREADY use his merchant partner to sell them outside the Empire if need be.
And the 2nd prince's answer? 'Oust' the people that's working with Liam.

I'm not yet sure the 2nd prince isn't that stupid. He seemed pretty stupid. At least he's not so stupid he would keep advisors who only tell him what they imagine he wants to hear.

He isn't stupid by noble standard.

Remember he tried to contact Liam and invite him into the faction through Wallace first.
It's only after Liam 'insult' him by not only refusing the invitation bluntly but also go to support 3rd prince that 2nd prince decide to do this.
If he show no reaction, then others might view him as 'weak' enough they can defy him without fear.

 

[OkazakiScans]

How is a 3rd prince younger than Wallace who is the 100th or so?

I assume you're referring to the "cute younger brother" line. Right there, Wallace was talking about the third prince having the "personality" of a "cute younger brother", not the third prince literally being his younger brother.

There was a poll? I didn't know, otherwise, I would have voted.

Yeah, I put up a poll with sample pages done in each font at the same time as the vote for next manga. Even still, at this point I have to assume people are used to the font. Changing it at this point might actually be more annoying to people than keeping it. (Not to mention, the author's started using a lighter version of his font in a few places to show a more gasping/raspy way of speaking, and Fira Sans is the only font I've found that actually has a light version I can use to show that.)

 

[EgregiousTophat]

oh look, a fresh dumbass has stepped into the arena.
The thought process of "He sold us plenty so we aren't currently struggling and can therefore pressure him" is insane. My guy if he sold you enough for the whole empire to no longer be in a deficit how much do you think he's got access to for his own use. To say he is Rich is an understatement he could likely financially outlast the empire's sanctions without issue they'll run out before he does.

The second prince is about to learn how sriracha fell from grace

I didn't know about any of this, but I am glad my assassin girl got picked. I still think Fira Sans looks terrible. @gratiknows more about the typesetting stuff, though, so he can advise.
