Pointers for what happened in chapter 50: ***This happened in the first timeline*** -Tia created a shortage of grain (by using pirates, arson, and stockpiling the remaining grain) -Thus, the price of the grain increased by a huge amount -Roygar used this chance to sell the grain as high (in price) as possible -He's very greedy that's why he was bribed easily -He colluded with the King of Eimel, which is a crime. Because of this, they send lesser supplies of grain to the North -Karam was able to penetrate the Thold Gateway since the Evron army was weak due to starvation -The Emperor investigated why they lost and found out that Roygar is conspiring with the Kingdom of Eimel. Hence, Roygar's downfall -Overall, it was simply a chain of events schemed by Tia to help her brother rise to the throne (since Duke Roygar is also a competition for the throne)
***Back to current timeline*** -Since Tia's plan to eliminate Duke Roygar (for the competition for the throne) worked the first time, she's thinking of doing it again to help Cedric this time -It's like hitting two birds with one stone, eliminating competition and a corrupt noble (since Tia also wants to change those at the top to revitalize the Empire) -Cedric disagrees since this will cause suffering and famine to the innocent citizens -Cedric let Tia know that she can come up with another method since he believes in her intelligence
***It's long but I hope it helps with the confusion. If I said something incorrect here, you can correct me. Thanks! (=・ω・=)
