That was the response that Cale had wanted.

He wanted Antonio to be wary.

He also wanted Antonio to stealthily investigate the Empire. In addition, Antonio would be interested in the flow of events in the kingdom without only seeking power.

It would be beneficial for Cale if a noble who held power in one region of the kingdom held such a demeanor. Cale sat up on the chair and made eye contact with Antonio.

�I hope that you make the right decision after thinking about it.�

Cale did not want to talk anymore.

All requests were best if they were presented in a short manner.

Of course, he didn�t forget to threaten Antonio in the process.

�These documents are all copies. I have the originals, so I hope that you make your decision without forgetting that your weakness is still in my hands.�

�Ha.�

Antonio let out a sigh and smiled.

That action made Cale start to frown. Antonio was smiling after being threatened.

��This is weird.�

He thought that Antonio had understood him, but rather than frowning, Antonio had a smile on his face.

�Why is he smiling?�

Antonio was relieved while Cale was confused.

�Not everything grandmother said is correct.�

A noble who uses your weakness in order to request something on behalf of the kingdom is a, �true noble.� Antonio felt as if something in his mind had cleared up after meeting such a, �true noble.�

�You are a noble, young master Cale.�

�Of course?�

But Cale could see that Antonio had understood him properly.

�I guess I meet his criteria.�

The fact that Antonio had called him a noble meant that Antonio had a very good impression of him.
