Chapter 2521

“Brother, you’ve got it wrong,” Matthias said with a meaningful smile. “Even though I have Prince Mosey’s backing, I’m still far from guaranteed success. Nathaniel also has strong support, so beating him won’t be easy. But with your help, I’d have at least an 80% chance of winning.”

In Matthias’s eyes, Tristan’s value far outweighed that of the royal Ballard family.

If he could get Tristan on his side, his current 60% chance of success could jump to 80%.

The real question now was: Could Tristan put aside his pride and place his bet on him?

“Matthias, you know I’m not someone who cares much for fame or fortune,” Tristan replied after a moment of thought. “I don’t want to get involved in a power struggle. I hope you understand.”

Even though he knew his chances were slim, Tristan still couldn’t bring himself to give up. He was the eldest son and the rightful heir. Aside from his poor health, he had no real weaknesses.
