Cale was flabbergasted.

Where else would you be able to find a great future lord like Basen? Cale waved at Basen in order to say that he did not want to hear anything else as Basen clenched the papers in his hands.

�Yes sir! I will work very hard!�

He gave an energetic response before leaving Cale�s study. Cale watched Basen�s back with satisfaction before standing up.

Raon slowly appeared and asked him a question.

�Human.�

�What?�

�Do you plan on becoming the lord?�

��What nonsense are you saying now? Don�t say such a scary thing.�

Raon tilted his head in confusion, but Cale decided not to think about it anymore as it was giving him the chills.

However, Raon, who was invisible, asked him internally once more as Cale headed to meet Countess Violan.

� Human, what does a lord of a territory do? Can you travel a lot?

�Why is he being like this?�

Cale ignored Raon and looked toward the Countess. Violan, who still did not have even a single hair out of place, started to speak to Cale.

�Your face seems so skinny. You�re heading to the Empire with his highness?�

�Yes. He seems to need my help for the investigation of the magic bomb incident.�

Cale flinched a bit at Violan�s gaze that seemed to be looking right through him. Countess Violan casually asked.

�Does his highness often give you difficult tasks?�

�Mm, they are not too hard.�

�Is that so?�

Countess Violan started to smile.

�Then I am relieved.�

�What?�

Cale could not tell why he was getting a chilly feeling when looking at the Countess. He hid is confusion as he started to speak. JrNovels.com
