The issue was that this bastard was the most trustworthy person to him.

Crown prince Alberu held back a sigh as he continued to speak.

�His majesty was originally planning on handing over the crown after this war.�

�What is he talking about?�

Cale, who had been barely listening, turned toward Alberu.

Why was this crown prince saying something so important as if he was Ron talking about a kid from next door walking by the house?

Cale frowned and observed Alberu, who had announced this bomb of an announcement. However, he was not as shocked as the other nobles.

�T, that is big news! I see. I didn�t know something like that had happened.�

Duke Orsena, the leader of the central faction, showed his shock before quickly calming himself and responding back.

However, he could not help but gasp after hearing what Alberu had to say next.

Alberu continued to speak to the shocked nobles.

�But I declined it.�

He declined the crown.

That act made it clear who held the power in the Roan Kingdom right now.

Marquis Sand Ailan finally managed to open his mouth to ask a question.

�Your highness, I know that I should not question your decisions, but may I ask your reason for doing that?�

Crown prince Alberu quietly observed Marquis Sand Ailan, who had asked the question.

Beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes. The crown prince completely looked the part of a Crossman heir.

He smiled at Marquis Ailan, who did not avoid his gaze, and turned around. He then walked toward the terrace.

Chhhhhhhhhh-

The closed curtains were opened again.

At the same time, the bright light of the sun entered the room.

Crown prince Alberu put his back toward the sun as he started to speak.

�I will become the Roan Kingdom�s ruler when it is at its highest point.� JrNovels.com
