�Is that so?�

Cale let go of Valentino�s hand as Valentino looked him over.

Cale noticed this, but pretended as if he had not. Instead, he was curious about something else.

�Does crown prince Valentino really trust the Empire and the Imperial Prince as his close friend?�

Cale had heard a good amount about the Indomitable Alliance from that slightly crazy bastard, Clopeh. The Caro Kingdom was not included in the Alliance.

The Northern Alliance, Arm, and the Mogoru Empire.

The Caro Kingdom did not know about their relationship. If they did, there was no way that they would have sought reinforcements from the Empire.

�However, they may not know all of the sides of the Empire.�

The Empire had purchased many slaves for the Alchemists� Bell Tower to experiment on.

Was it possible that the Caro Kingdom did not know about the Empire�s evil-doings?

�I guess that I�ll find out eventually.�

Cale did not think much about it. The Caro Kingdom would lean toward one side or the other soon enough.

�Alright, we should not stand around like this. I�ll lead the way.�

�Your highness, that is my��

�No need.�

Crown prince Valentino waved away the Caro Kingdom�s administrator as he stepped forward in order to personally guide them. Cale had been watching this extreme friendliness as Imperial Prince Adin started to speak.

�I got to see your face and I got to see our young master Cale�s face, so I should head back now.�

�I thought that you were going to stay until the military meeting tonight?�

Crown prince Valentino who had been chatting with the Caro Kingdom�s administrator looked toward Imperial Prince Adin with disappointment. Adin responded back with disappointment as well.

�I feel worried about leaving the Empire for so long, but Duke Huten is here, so isn�t that enough?�

�I guess that is true.�

Imperial Prince Adin patted Valentino�s shoulder.

�I pray for your victory. I am not saying this as the Imperial Prince of the Empire, but as your close friend.�
