�I thought I was very clear.�

Cale repeated his words once again.

�When the kingdom asks for it.�

Not the crown prince but the kingdom.

There was a big difference between the two.

However, Antonio did not realize that difference until just now. Cale added on after realizing that Antonio had caught on.

�The Gyerre household that works for the kingdom should know what I mean, right?�

�Works for the kingdom.�

Those words lingered in Antonio�s mind. His expression turned serious at the same time.

A situation where the entire Roan Kingdom would want them to open the gates to the Empire.

That would mean that the Empire did something terrible that the Roan Kingdom could not simply brush aside.

The kingdom meant that the crown, the nobles, and the citizens all wanted it.

��What did the Empire do?�

The Gyerre household was responsible for the southwest region that was the closest to the Empire. Although he was the heir of the family, Antonio could not figure out what the Empire could have done in order to cause such a situation.

He called out to Cale after realizing that his lack of information was a more serious issue.

�Young master Cale-�

�Figure it out yourself.�

Antonio could not ask about what the Empire did after hearing Cale�s response that drew the line.

He could not say anything about it.

With his weakness in Cale�s hands, he had to do whatever was asked of him without asking any questions. Furthermore, it was only proper for the Gyerre household to figure it out on their own if it was something the Empire did that was related to the kingdom.

It was either that he investigate it on his own, or, there was another option.

��I will ask his highness, the crown prince.�

He needed to go above the Duke level to ask.

Antonio looked toward Cale, who accepted his response as the obvious answer and made up his mind to stealthily investigate the Empire and go through the southwest region�s defensive maneuvers once more. JrNovels.com
