I believe the author created this prince to be a joke because it’s ridiculous, not only was he deceived by the group he had hired but he also tried to practically force someone to be his concubine using as an excuse that his intention was “to release her from the contract of slavery with her master” behind the MC’s back, while the MC did all the work which was promised, in the end the MC not only revealed but also captured those who tried to make a fool of the prince and revealed the story of how dragons had been protecting people from that kingdom at the same time... 150 years ago a cub was born to take care of those who were yet to be born, he got used to the environment and humans, he fought against humans but never attacked the inhabitants of the vicinity, in this dragon’s point of view humans are like a family, the MC not only explained everything to a level that even a child would understand but also said that he would make the report convincingly but the prince refused to take the case to be discussed in the empire basically because he is too incompetent to deal with the parliament staff and he needs to “produce results as the first prince” and asks the MC to kill the dragon since he has the power to do so, the MC refuses and the selfish prince orders the guards to arrest the MC for “suspected of having used magic to cause an anomaly in the dragon’s actions” and the prince would report that the MC personally gave himself up for the crime as an apology, the MC says in this case it was practically a kidnapping and that even if his father stays away from politics he is still well known and that would generate commotion, and the prince says that the information would not reach him and only those with the title of Count would have knowledge, and finally as if all this bullshit wasn’t enough the prince call Ifa saying that “she was free and that he no longer needed to obey a dubious master and that it was dangerous for her to remain by his side”, and finally the MC came to the limit of patience 「stop with this bullshit, at a time like this you wanna talk about women? and you still consider yourself a ruler, even though it’s absurd I kept silent until now because it was about politics, but in the end your purpose was Ifa, you don’t feel ashamed for the citizens, for starters you have a few screws loose, don’t be dependent on other people, don’t think of the easy way out, you really think people will move for someone like that, think about what you should do first instead of thinking about women “BRAT”... what do you mean with “I will set you free” I will in no way give Ifa to someone like you...」
