He recalled the meal they had together.

�You can eat anything when you are hungry. You also become desperate. Commander Cale, I wish to speak in secret with crown prince Alberu.�

�Of course. He will fill your empty stomach, your highness.�

The Caro Kingdom and crown prince Valentino realized that they had been made fools after learning that the Indomitable Alliance and the Empire were in an alliance. He could not hide his anger regarding that issue.

�Your highness, how did the Caro Kingdom find out that the Empire was aiming for the Whipper Kingdom?�

�The Empire was thinking very lightly of the Caro Kingdom.�

Crown prince Alberu took a sip of wine before continuing to speak.

�Someone from the Caro Kingdom�s side found their light-affinity churches speaking with people from the Empire.�

The Caro Kingdom was grinding their teeth in anger at the churches who were no help and instead wanted to run away during the battle of Castle Leona.

However, they did not bare their fangs in public.

In fact, crown prince Valentino pretended to try to become close to them again for the recovery work after the battle while stealthily keeping a watch on the churches.

Thanks to that, the Caro Kingdom was able to find some churches making contact with the Empire.

Cale thought about something after hearing this information.

�The only reason that the Empire would need to contact churches is to gather priests with healing abilities.�

�Correct. These priests with healing abilities are the most important resources during a war.�

Cale understood why the Empire and the churches would do such a thing.

He was certain that the Church of the Sun God, the largest of the light-affinity churches, would definitely work with the Empire.

Even if the Church of the Sun God did terrible things inside the Empire, there were still many believers within the Empire.

The Caro Kingdom�s Church of the Sun God�s bishop probably wanted to take control of that area as well. That was the way for him to become the pope.

How angry must the Caro Kingdom have been after learning about all of this?

These bastards were doing all sorts of things in their front yard.

Cale understood why crown prince Valentino was so angry. However, crown prince Alberu had not finished speaking.

�Also, the Empire approached the Caro Kingdom.�

�To align together.� JrNovels.com
