ahhh ohhh...alrighty?? （ﾟдﾟlll）
fiou I mostly understand the same ... I think...
It's really the kind of story I like but... this one is really confusing (=oωO=)
ohhh ok now i understand. Thank you!!
Is Snake Grandeur's brother?
No. Ravi the crown prince...and Minshea(still not sure about this) are his brothers.
Snake just seems to be a sketchy bastard.
Okay, I think I understand what was going on.
The country the Prince (Grandeur) is from just lost the king. The eldest prince is supposed to inherit but they need money? So the queen decides to auction off the second prince at a party. He has a guard named Jin.
The one who wins the auction is Minshea (the Arabic guy) who is someone the prince knows. However, from the conversation with Jin he was only supposed to purchase the prince to keep him away from the other bidder who is referred to as Snake. It seems he's a real bastard. But Minshea for someone reason decides to do what Snake would do to him. As Jin says to Minshea that he was supposed to be his (the prince's) white knight but in the end did the same thing.
I think the auction was supposed to just be a clear cut under the radar thing in which the chosen person (Minshea) was supposed to win it without any issues. That's why Jin and Minshea are both wearing those headphones and Jin mentions (in a thought bubble?) that they need to "lie low". However they do gain Snake's attention (because Minshea was eying the prince during the whole 'fallen rose fiasco') and that's when the bidding war happens. You can see it happen when both Jin and Minshea have the same thought bubble saying 'he got his way again'.
The interesting bit is that Snake really didn't want the prince he wants something from Minshea (it seems they have a rivalry or something). So Minshea and Snake made a deal for Minshea to win the auction. It seems possession of the prince will pass to Snake (since he was planning on taking the prince by force if he didn't win) but in return the prince is to remain untouched. So I guess Minshea just wanted one night with him.
The strange bit is the price of the prince. Snake's guy says it was free but the terms were accepted. Minshea does mention to the prince about how his nation is going to be opened up. I'm expecting it was a trade treaty.
Does that help?
