Chapter: 1225

Cale naturally knew about this.

�I am happy that I was able to save others. I am happy that I was able to fulfill my responsibilities.�

Cale�s continued words made the expressions on the people�s faces change a bit.

He was not happy to receive the medal.

And that was it.

Cale looked toward the Emperor while a sense of disappointment filled the plaza for such a short speech.

��I suppose it is now time for the treasure.�

The Emperor motioned and someone walked up with a long box. The Emperor felt that something was wrong as he observed Cale, who was looking at the box that was wrapped in velvet.

He could feel a sense of hesitation.

The noble who had just said that he was happy had a stiff expression on his face.

He could also see him peeking at him.

The Emperor was used to such sight. It was the sight of someone who had something he wanted to say but was hesitating because he was in front of the Emperor.

�Is there something you wish to say?�

The Emperor held back a cough caused by the cold wind as he asked.

��It is nothing, your majesty.�

�I will ask you a second time. Speak freely.�

�I will ask you a second time.�

That made Cale Henituse�s expression change as if he had made up his mind and he started to speak.

�Your majesty, I do not know what the treasure is.�

�That is the case.�

The Emperor could see a brave expression that he saw in young nobles from time to time.

�Your majesty, may I exchange this treasure for something else?�

�Ah.�

The Emperor had a good idea about what was going on. JrNovels.com
