He stopped walking once he got near the Count.

The Count was avoiding Cale�s gaze and slightly lowering his head. It was a subconscious gesture. He felt as if he would suffocate if he did not do that.

He could hear Cale�s voice.

�I don�t know who I should respond to since you have lowered your head.�

The Count bit down on his lips and lifted up his head. However, his gaze quickly headed back down.

It was at that moment.

The crown prince who was seated facing the entrance of the hall twitched his eyebrow.

Screeeech.

A very quiet noise could be heard as the entrance opened just a tiny bit.

The knights should be guarding the door. The door that still opened just a tiny sliver did not open nor close, and instead remained exactly opened a tiny bit.

Alberu knew that Cale�s people, the sword master and the necromancer, were the ones to do that. That would be why the knights allowed them to touch the door.

Alberu was correct.

Choi Han had a hand on his scabbard as he stood right in front of the slightly opened door. He then leaned in in order to listen.

Cale�s voice soon reached both Choi Han and Mary.

Cale looked toward the only other person who was standing, the Count responsible for the progression of the meeting that was unable to make eye contact with him, and started to speak.

�I had asked them to make the navy uniform black.�

It was an unrelated story.

His comment made some of the nobles wonder what he was trying to do. However, they could only gasp after hearing his continued words.

The voice of the man standing in the center of the large hall could be heard.

�That way you would not be able to tell even if you got blood on it.�

His emotionless face looked out toward the nobles.

�The blood on the northeast region�s castle walls has still not dried. The northeastern ocean is also overflowing with blood.�

They listened to the words coming out of the northeast region�s commander�s mouth. It made them recall the sight of the battle at the Henituse territory that they had seen through the video communication device.

They had been unable to hide their amazement and shock while they watched it. But now. JrNovels.com
