The crown prince�s table was located to the front of all five of these tables, at a location that was about two steps higher than the rest.

�The second and third prince�s seats are one step lower than his.�

One step lower than the crown prince�s table was the table for the second and third princes. Even if this event was being hosted by the crown prince, it would be weird for the second and third princes to not attend a gathering of nobles. Since the crown prince was the one to host it, he made sure to show a gap between their status.

�He really pays attention to these tiny, useless details.�

The crown prince, actually, all of the people in those positions of power, were really not Cale�s type of people.

�Our table is closest to the entrance, as expected.�

Cale did not respond to Eric�s bitter voice. The Palace of Joy had opened the eastern entrance as the designated entrance, and the Northeastern region nobles� table was the closest to the door.

Although the Northeastern region had a voice, they did not have a household that was strong enough to have a loud voice. Cale raised his hand to pat Eric�s shoulder.

�It�s great that our seat is close to the door. In addition, it is great that we don�t have anyone we have to lower our head to at our seat.�

Other regions had strong people in charge, like Marquis Stan, whom the rest had to be respectful to and subservient.

The other three people walking with Cale stopped walking. Cale also stopped walking after seeing them halt. Eric turned around to look at Cale for a while, before finally starting to speak.

�Young master Cale.�

Since they were in the company of others, Eric did not call Cale casually by name.

�I�m glad that my efforts seem to have paid off.�

�Efforts? What efforts?�

Cale looked toward Eric with shock and confusion, but Eric turned back around and proudly walked to the table that was closest to the entrance.

Eric did not know that Cale never read his letters and just shoved them to a corner of the room.

�Why is he like this?�

Young lady Amiru shook her head at Cale�s question. Gilbert showed a similar reaction. Cale then shrugged his shoulders and headed toward the table.

But an announcement made him stop moving.

�Young master Venion Stan of Marquis Stan�s household has arrived!�

Cale understood why Neo Tolz did not follow them inside the Palace of Joy. Venion. Neo Tolz was standing right behind Marquis Stan�s successor, Venion.

But Cale did not care for chumps like Neo or Venion.
