Alberu brushed his eyes with one hand while looking at Cale respond while wiping the blood on his mouth.

Cale did not care as he looked around. Only Alberu�s personal knights and Daltaro was around them.

Cale started to speak.

�Your highness, what do you think about going to the mid-rank or low-rank nobles right now?�

The crown prince checking on the mid-rank and low-rank nobles of the other princes� factions would make their loyalty start to waver.

There was a high chance that those nobles would consider the crown prince to be a larger umbrella than the other princes.

Alberu was at a loss for words after hearing Cale�s comment. He subconsciously started to shout.

�Look at your condition before saying something like that! You stu- haaaa!�

�It sounded like he was about to call me stupid this time.�

Cale continued to sit on the ground as he wiped off the blood and looked up at Alberu. Daltaro interjected into the conversation.

He was extremely serious.

�Your highness, our young master Cale is correct. Please leave young master Cale to us. You need to go console the others right now. I will do my best to send young master Cale safely back to his room.�

Cale felt iffy for some reason after hearing Daltaro�s comment but decided to stay quiet after seeing Alberu sigh before nodding his head.

�� Yes. I will do that.�

Alberu agreed and looked as if he was going to turn toward the direction of the rest of the envoy. However, he did not do so, and instead reached his hand out toward Cale.

�Can you stand up?�

Cale stood up instead of answering Alberu�s question. The knights clenched their swords after seeing Cale stand up on his own. Cale only shook Alberu�s hand after getting up.

He then approached Alberu. Alberu hugged him as if it was normal.

This made people recall the scene where Cale and the crown prince hugged after the Roan Kingdom�s Plaza Terror Incident. The knights and Daltaro took a step back before suppressing their emotions.

They had never expected to feel those emotions in a foreign Empire. Watching them hug made them feel like they could relax now.

Cale quietly spoke so that only Alberu could hear.

�Your highness, you will ask the Empire for a reward, right? Let�s take everything that we can. Oh, and I am glad that you are okay.�

�Ha, haha-�

The crown prince let out a laugh. JrNovels.com
