Chapter: 1404
* * *
Antonio Gyerre looked out the window while walking down the hallway in the middle of the night.
The Gyerre Castle. There were many people walking around with torches inside of the castle. He watched these people who were moving with urgency and thought about his grandmother, Duchess Sonata.
�Cale Henituse. Find out what he, and the crown prince behind him, wants.�
He had seen anger in his grandmother�s face for the first time in a long while.
That anger was directed at herself.
The Chryshi Household.
The documents that Cale�s guard knight had brought over, as well as the information that they had gained by storming the baron�s estate, gave the Duchess quite the headache.
�Crazy bastard.�
A noble was involved in the slave trade.
Although she did not have detailed information yet, that alone was enough to embarrass the Gyerre household. Furthermore, the citizens had witnessed all of it.
There was bound to be a punishment from the crown, a loss of trust with the citizens, and judgment from the other nobles.
All of this was giving Antonio a headache as well.
However, he still needed to meet with Cale Henituse tonight. That was the mountain he needed to climb right now.
Of course, the real mountain he needed to climb was the crown prince, as Cale Henituse was working for the crown prince.
Prince Alberu was the prince who was poised to become the next king. There was no way he would just let this go.
�And Cale Henituse is a noble as well. He will try to use this to blackmail us for his own benefits.�
Antonio had seen many greedy people hiding under the title of noble. Everybody he had come across had been the same way.
That was why he had always tried his best to be a proper noble. He didn�t want to give anybody a chance to find something to use against him. This was also the reason he ranked people with his own set of qualifications. It made it easier to deal with them.
�Mm.�
Antonio made a noise outside of the guest reception room. That made Cale Henituse�s guard knight bow to greet him.
Antonio pointed to the door and Hilsman cautiously knocked on the door.
�Young master-nim, young master Antonio has arrived.�
�Please tell him to come in.� JrNovels.com
