Antonio stopped the guard knight and turned the knob himself after hearing Cale�s voice.

�I will help myself in.�

Antonio opened the door.

This was the first time he felt nervous going into his own guest reception room.

�Is this what it feels like to have your weakness grasped by someone else?�

�I�m curious to know what he will demand from me.�

Just what would Cale Henituse demand from him?

That was what Antonio was curious about.

But he thought the most Cale would want is power to support the crown prince. That was why he did not seem nervous as he walked in through the door.

Screeeech-

He noticed Cale Henituse looking out the window as soon as he opened the door.

Antonio, the heir of the Gyerre household, felt as if it had been a while since he had seen someone�s back. Frustration and annoyance filled his mind.

�Young master Antonio.�

Cale called out to him and slowly turned at that moment.

He then asked in a casual tone.

�Are the people okay?�

Antonio, who had been walking in, suddenly stopped moving. He looked toward Cale, who asked once more after it seemed as if Antonio did not understand his question.

�Are the people who were kidnapped doing okay?�

��I didn�t think you�d ask such a question.�

�Excuse me?�

Cale looked toward Antonio, who was mumbling to himself with confusion. That made Antonio sigh before closing the door.

�We managed to rescue all of them.�

�That is a relief.�

Antonio could see Cale smiling before returning to his stoic expression after hearing his words. That made Antonio start to feel odd. JrNovels.com
