I'm sorry but why are they hesitating to sell it to the prince?! He's a client willing to buy 200 BOXES of your product, over 1000! And y'all hesitating cause...? He's suspicious? Thats none of your business! It'd be different if y'all were selling weapons but y'all selling healing ointment! It really is none of your business what he does with it. And if you think that there is going to be a war, isn't that more reason to sell it to hin?! Like, I really don't understand why they didn't just give it to him.
Don’t you think it’s rather suspicous that a war happened right after they declined him the sales? Also tbh i thought it was obvious but it wasn’t. To mostly answer your question : the reason why they declined him is because of the suspicious amount of healing ointment. If it was 2 boxes sure, but it’s 200 Boxes instead. Why the fuck would you need that many, and what for? They are right to decline him because as what the user above me said, he was acting suspicious. Then the next thing we know, there’s a war ongoing, and that inadvertedly solved our question. It was going to be used for war. Hence why he’s buying so many of it.
Also, I think they (Ripley and the blonde) will have that weighing on their conscience that this crazy ass prince decided to waged war confidently because of their healing ointment, knowing it does more harm than good.
I understand that but thats why I don't understand why they didn't sell it. Yes, he was super sus when he put the order in but after they met him and they themselves concluded that he was planning a war, why not sell it? As we know, whether he got the ointment or not, the war still happened but now those soldiers out to war don't have healing ointment because they didn't sell it. I understand the suspicion and weariness but if you know that there is a chance of a lot of people getting hurt and you have something that could possibly save lives while making a profit that you desperately need, kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
I don’t think you understand the suspicion and wariness if you still don’t get why they didn’t sell the ointment. No matter how pretty you spin it, they still inadvertently had a hand in the war which made a lot of people suffer. Not selling the ointment means they condemn his actions.
Also think of it this way : why does the prince need to wage war in border skirmishes when before little to none people get hurt? He’s just creating more reason to have conflict at this point.
I see but the war was not based on their ointment. Like I said, the war happened either way. The prince just heard about it and was like, "That'll help in the war in 2 weeks!" It's not like he based this whole war with the idea of having their ointment to back them up. And once again, this is war! People aren't gonna think they are condemning him, they're gonna think they are condemning the soldiers to death by not giving something that can literally save lives. Maybe it's because I'm thinking more on the lives that they would save rather than the Prince's actions but yeah, I would still sell it
If the war was going to happen either way, ointment or not, I don't see the issue in not selling. Would it save lives? Perhaps. Know what else could save lives? Not starting an unnecessary war when the borders are peaceful.
It's not their job to save everyone, especially when it's related to the decision of one person, even more so when it's not related to defense, but offense.
It's not their problem and it is their product.
No you don’t. I never said ointment was one of the reasons for war, what i said was, having the ointment will help the war flourish further. Which is something you don’t want to have because war is painful and exhausting.
Who said the people are condemning the prince? It’s the SELLERS (blonde and redhead) that are CONDEMNING his actions by not selling him the ointment. Because they don’t want to be, in a shape or form, to be part of his war. Plain and simple.
(Even then, if i were a citizen i’d criticise the prince bc who directs everything? The fucking asshole. Soldiers are literally pawn pieces they can’t act without order from above, unless it’s insubordination, they’re not part of the problem here)
Also no, it IS their problem. As part of a country, whatever problems your country faces, it’s part of your problem too. It’s a war that can affect lives of the people. Even if they’re nobles they WILL be affected by it. Hell, they already are! Duke Zeronis is leaving to fullfil is noblesse oblige and joining the stupid war created by the prince. So yes, it’s their problem and one of the solutions they came up with is to support the war any further by not selling the ointment.
Honestly, I don’t think we’ll understand each other since we keep missing the point of one another so let’s just leave it here.
Well I didn't say the people would condemm the prince, I just said they would condemn them. Like I said, I'm seeing this from the view of how many lives would be saved. I can see where you are coming from with the cream might encourage the war to go on but if the war started from nothing then its not going to end because a couple hundred soldiers die. Its like saying stop sending nurses to war because soldiers being healed from battle just makes the war go on. The ointment not being sold is going to cause a lot more damage than good. Imagine your child or partner goes out to war and gets injured and they manage to save their life with the ointment. I understand they may feel like their ointment may push the war, which it won't, but ignoring the lives they would save, especially since Ripley's fiancé is going to fight is...idk cruel to me
Again, as a citicizen, I won’t be condeming neither the soldiers nor ripley. I’d be criticizing him. And honestly, if the word gets out about the war, the criticisms will fall onto the prince because of his actions and not Ripley / Blondie.
You know what’s cruel? Starting the war. I understand that just sell it because it will help the battlefield but seriously, it won’t help anymore than just removing small scars and wounds. Compared to nurses, I don’t think their ointment will be that much of a great help. So honestly, it’s not life or death situation as you might think it’ll be. And again, i’d like to reiterate that they are entitled not to sell their shit to anyone who they’re deemed suspicious enough, no matter how “its for the greater good” the intentions are. Because, chances are, it’s not.
The only damage i’m seeing the ointment cause is the loss of investment due to spoilage. Since aside from small scars and wounds, the ointment hasn’t been proven as miraculous as curing a stab wound or reattaching an arm (yes, i am exaggerating for trying to make my point across)
As vicious as this sounds, yes, lack of supplies (manpower, weapons etc) WILL stop the war. So yeah go stop sending supplies or manpower to this psycho prince because what thats whats need to be done; to cut off the funding of the prince, force him to retreat or surrender to stop the war even if it means people dying. War is never won with both sides victor; there should be someone who’s going to surrender to cease it and cutting off the supplies while it’s still fresh and there’s small number of casualties is the best method rn, just second to creating diplomatic relations or treaties (they aint barbaric why tf do they have to wage war)
God I love Mabel so much and she's the cutest thing. #MabelProtecionSquad. But am I the only one who just can't ship her with Phon? Like...I trying so hard but I just can't do it and idkw. Like, I like Phon and I love Mabel, they are both good people and they have cute moments but I still can't. Mentally I really don't want that ship to happen for literally no reason and I can't figure out why. Maybe its because I really liked her and Abel but still, I've prefered second male leads before and still shipped the main couple but for some reason, I can't with these two.
This is exactly my thoughts, like Phon is ok but I just can't ship them. For me it's Able, I really want them to get together in the end.
IDK WHY!!!
