Odd Eye's

Part 27's. A duel of reason

... ⁇ OODIE...

Duke Nestra as the right hand of the emperor will not be involved in this case, because it will be in the value of cheating. The discussion is not even known to Duke Nestra. And Xavier as commander-in-chief holds responsibility for this.

This will probably be the same as the Podium Discussion. But the solo version. There will be no additional support from the other side. Pure between him and Madelin.

Hanaya won't lose to Madelin!

The rules are simple, describe opinions clearly, fellow participants can interrupt if found weaknesses in other opinions.

This was clearly aimed at assessing the calmness and the way a queen took the solution when the Emperor was in disarray.

The assessment system should be based on the votes of Parliament. Members of the court who looked at the answers according to aspects and logic. Even if the popular vote is overwhelming, if parliament votes on one candidate, the absolute victory is his. Unfortunately, now they are just a show. The status of judging is left to the Pope who has certainly judged according to the voice of the people.

All Hanaya needed to do was to attract as much attention as possible, and avoid the traps.

At least he had already gotten rid of the biggest barrier on this contest.

"As is well known, the cornerstone of the largest Utopian economy in five years is the export of Vilanc-grain" Vilanc, who could have thought of a village with a simple interior filled with all slaves ruling the prosperity ladder of Utopia?

'Something impossible would look easy if it had succeeded'. Isn't that how people judge the difficulty behind success ?

After the war, Neil's village, the largest grain producer of the Vorthe kingdom, was conquered, but at that time all the grain workers died in the war and Utopia only got the area in return.

At that time, the development of Vilanc in producing abundant wheat shot up in place of Neil, giving many advantages to the kingdom. Everybody knows that.

So why should this be asked?

"What if Vilanc collapses, or in other words goes bankrupt? The impact is small for Utopia but still influential, then what is the solution? Lady Madelin please answer"

Similar questions in different sounds on Podium Discussion. This-will cause upheaval. Everyone understands this topic. Topic where Viviana's name rises.  Topics where his intelligence is seen.

Whispers and sharp gazes filled Hanaya's back.

Public opinion tends to be easily triggered and very sensitive.

Everyone must be thinking.

Your Majesty is unfair, he makes a partisanship ! Isn't the result clear ?  Lady Madelin is a doll.

And the situation behind it is that easy.

Of course, because Viviana had removed Madelin's supporters, the fire was thrown and she was easily targeted with suspicion. Given, she is the most controversial candidate the Queen has ever seen.

Xavier, that man is responsible for this, isn't he? What is the purpose of igniting a fire that has been extinguished? Didn't he realize Viviana was fighting as hard as she could to escape? Now this question is stirring up controversy!

It seemed like Hanaya had to get used to the bad rumors circulating about her.

"Madelin replied His Majesty. Although that was the case, the kingdom still had the other two Utopia would remain stable despite shaking a little. The impact is small but influential and

"Lady Madelin please answer as per context. Your answer is out of context, but it re-quotes the contents of the question. Please focus!" His companions made Madelin nod.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. Your Majesty" he said.

Hanaya's thinking shifted when she heard Madelin's answer. A notoriously intelligent person makes such a mistake? It was not Madelin that he recognized from his rumors or prowess. Why is he rambling ?

"Recruit outside power and build replacement areas. There are several daetahs near Vilanc that have similar soil qualities. It takes a lot of time, but it's the best solution. That's my answer, Your Honor"

Unostentatious. Too basic. It seems Madelin deliberately gave him a crack. He's using public opinion to block Viviana?

Huh, it turns out to be true. In any war or conflict, everything is allowed.

"Depends on how broke it is. Vilanc was within imperial territory, even very close to the center of the empire, which meant that an outside attack was impossible. The only possible accident is a fire that occurred accidentally or deliberately"

First, estimate the cause of bankruptcy. Since there can be no external cause, it is definitely internal.

The next step depends on the first opinion.

And the final result will come out easily after the cause is known.

Simple methods.

"If it is a fire then it is profitable, although the loss is quite a lot. Burning the soil that occurs will fertilize the soil, that means the next wheat crop will probably be rapid. Then do the reconstruction"

Javier looks very satisfied but not with Xavier. Eyebrows and sharp eyes indicate dissatisfaction. Too simple, that's how Hanaya interpreted the look of his eyes and facial water.

There is another purpose behind this answer.

Hanaya had expected that to be asked, so she deliberately held back half of her thoughts. The eyes of Parliament watch, if he pretends to hesitate and does not know to answer, then their vigilance decreases and the value of his view decreases. On the other hand, ease a little of the rumors.

The mood of the people depends on his words.

His movements were deliberately made as slow as possible. Wild eye movements, nervous intonation and confused body gestures to fool.

"That...

"Lady Viviana can't answer! This question will be given to Lady Madelin"

If Madelin could answer, the two points Hanaya had accumulated from the start would be his.

Madelin's sharp eyes were pointing at him. While Hanaya smiled thinly and the parliamentarians sparkled brilliantly.

Madelins. He thought Hanaya didn't know what his purpose was. Deliberately giving answers that are not satisfactory, so Hanaya is required to answer with all his energy. The motive is clear. In addition to igniting the flames of hatred on the figure of Viviana, he made Hanaya look at him lightly, when his confidence gathered Madelin will reverse the situation in one attack, hitting his confidence hard.

He intends to attack her through the psychic. Either directly or using an intermediary.

How sad.

If Hanaya's ambitious side darkens his eyes and doesn't see a trap clearly, he may be trapped.

Madelin, Hanaya knows what she thinks. Brianna's words last night made her aware of it.

"Do you think he really praised you? Miss, to the public a good looking figure is a must. Nobles are two-faced people. Just imagine, the girl who became the consumption material of bad rumors appeared first, even her first appearance was more prominent than the main star of the empire. What response did the star give?"

"Tests. He was just praising for the formality. The real masks appear when you are on the battlefield. The stronger your ambitions on the battlefield, the more aggressive your actions are"

Brianna's right. Look at the sharp highlight of the now shining emerald. It is hateful. Dislike.

The madelin in puja. In the inferno as a candidate for crown princess was eliminated once Viviana, the girl the Crown Prince loved appeared. Madelin put his hate on it, but bad rumors about Viviana made him stable. He doesn't need to do anything, his bad rumors will destroy Viviana's path to the throne.

Because with the damage to the image of Viviana, the more complicated the figure in the eyes of the public. Then once Viviana appeared in the Podium Discussion, showing her abilities, Madelin felt threatened.

The aggressive attacking objectives that Madelin aimed at had one meaning.

I have to beat him.

And once he fails, the only good shift of attention is to accept defeat. That way everyone will still see her as an open-minded queen.

Hatred is a natural human instinct.

Whoever it is does not want to include people who have the potential to take over the attention of the audience from the main character.

Therefore, this is a good opportunity. Using two swords to attack from different directions. Public opinion and its pretenses.

Tea party? Party sharing Ideology, Madelin might try to bring down Viviana in her area of power.

Be thankful that this contest was launched faster. Instead of dodging, Hanaya just had to prepare herself.

Brianna's right. On the battlefield, a person's original character appears. Madelin who he initially considered not a threat turned to condemn.

The fist on the dress and the menacing look showed everything.

Madelin tried to intimidate Hanaya. Instead it's just another affirmation of the word - Madelin threatened.

Now in this arena, Hanaya's view of Madelin is not as high as before. Same madelin, eyeing the throne. The queen's privileges and authority surpasses everything, even a fool would be willing to throw his daughter for this position.

Brianna is always right. His eyes should be more careful, behind the mask revealed the real face of the nobles. And the mask of Madelin has been revealed.

This time there was no choice but to answer. Giving random answers is tantamount to lowering self-esteem and humiliating the social status it holds. Repeating the same trick ? The people will believe that Madelin fled because he could not answer.

Its simple. The bigger the rumor the easier it is to divert it to someone else. Under the guise of confusion he throws back the mud that Madelin gave him.

Hanaya was not at all proud to urge Madelin on the brink. Madelin has not shown his strength. If Hanaya takes a wrong perception and prides herself on underestimating Madelin, it's tantamount to digging a hole of her own.

Therefore, people say 'Underestimating the opponent is a sign of defeat' But arrogant humans are always unaware of it is not it? The higher a person is, the lower he looks at others. The higher the way he looks at himself, the more vulnerable his defenses are

At some point the weak can become strong and defeat the person who underestimates them.

Now, Madelin has to answer and be complacent with the starting points. Then on the next question they will compete fairly.
