Fated to meet again.

That meant that he would not be coming for no reason.

Duchess Sonata was amazed that Cale did not rush at the chance to build a friendship with her.

�He definitely isn�t an average punk.�

The crown prince had said that he would send someone to let her know when it was time to open the gates. She was certain that this person would be Cale Henituse.

�Yes. Let�s meet again next time.�

The old woman�s eyes sparkled as she proclaimed there would be a next time while Cale slowly avoided her gaze and bowed.

�There won�t be a next time.�

Cale had no intention of that happening.

Antonio looked toward Cale and his grandmother before he started to smile. Only he noticed that his grandmother had accepted Cale Henituse as a, �true noble.�

�Then I will be on my way now.�

Cale bid farewell to the Duchess before trying to get back on the carriage. He then seemed to have remembered something as he turned back and asked.

�Duchess-nim, is everybody safe?�

Although Cale did not clarify who he was talking about, Sonata immediately understood.

�Yes, they are safe. They are currently getting healthier.�

Cale was talking about the kidnapped citizens.

�That is a relief.�

Sonata looked at the corner of Cale�s lips twitching and knew that this was Cale�s true smile.

�He�s a decent kid.�

He was better than she had expected.

The crown prince that she had chatted with this time was a good boy too.

She was thinking that, if she was going to let go of power now, she needed to prepare for the next time she would seek power.

�I should leave all communications with the crown prince and Cale to Antonio.�

Sonata�s gaze toward Cale became deeper, but Cale internally sighed in relief that she was not trying to hold him up. JrNovels.com
