If the people were told that they would be fighting fairly, that is what he would have done.

This was the reason that Cale thought Alberu was the most similar yet different from himself.

It was also the reason why Imperial Prince Adin was similar to crown prince Alberu, but ultimately different as well.

�And?�

Return Maple Castle.

It didn�t end with just that.

It wouldn�t end with just that.

The Empire�s pride and ambition wouldn�t let them just stop with Maple Castle.

If that was the case, why would Toonka be worrying and talking so wearily?

Toonka scoffed and answered Cale�s question.

��What?�

�They wanted what?�

This time, even Cale struggled to understand immediately. There was something that came to mind, but it was difficult to confirm that as the answer.

Toonka walked out the door.

Cale followed suit with a sense of foreboding.

Cale followed Toonka out of the basement and sternly started to speak.

�Let�s get to Harol quickly.� JrNovels.com
