Chapter: 222
�What do you need help with? And what can you do for me in return?�
Cale had no desire to teach this wolf boy, who was not experienced with anything. That was for Choi Han or Rosalyn to deal with. Cale stood up, as he still had a couple things to take care of before heading to the palace, before speaking once more to the wolf boy.
�Come back when you have the answers.�
Lock thought for a moment, before getting up from the seat and bowing his head.
�I understand. I will come back to see you when I have figured things out.�
�Sure.�
Cale lightly patted Lock�s head once. The gaze in Lock�s eyes as he looked up was quite satisfactory.

Cale grabbed the crown prince�s invitation and got off the carriage. The gathering was to start at 5 pm. Cale looked at the palace, that was incomparable to both the Henituse estate and their residence in the capital combined.
The Palace of Joy. The name of the location of the gathering was called the Palace of Joy, and it was built by the king to share his joy of the birth of the crown prince. Of course, the king now favored the third prince.
Cale was planning to meet up with Eric, Gilbert, and Amiru outside the palace and enter together. He looked toward the palace and started to think.
�Is this a cliche too?�
It just so happened that someone else arrived at the palace right when Cale arrived.
�Wow, who is this? Isn�t this our famous young master Cale?�
�Sigh.�
Cale held back his sigh. He could feel the distaste from the person before him just from their tone. The person approaching him was Neo, the successor to Viscount Tolz.
�Why do I have to run into one of Venion�s minions now?�
Neo Tolz was one of the stereotypical villains. He went around doing Venion�s biddings.
The village that the Black Dragon was tortured in belonged to Viscount Tolz.
And Viscount Tolz�s people never liked the Henituse family. It was because, although they were separated only by a single mountain, the difference in wealth was drastic. However, in the past, they were once friendly with the Henituse family.
That all changed once they went under Marquis Stan�s faction 5 years ago. Of course, they wouldn�t say it out loud, but they would stealthily try to take control of the Northeastern nobles meeting.
Neo Tolz smiled brightly as he stood in front of Cale.
�You are alone?�
They were still a bit away from the palace entrance, and the Vice Captain and Ron were speaking with the guard to get permission to enter. Cale, who brought only the minimal amount of people with him, looked down to Neo. JrNovels.com
