Cale started to speak.

�It seems that there aren�t many of those that are on our side at the central palace.�

Toonka hesitated for a moment and then answered.

��Correct. As expected, you�re very smart.�

�Smart? More like it�s just obvious.�

It was only then that Cale noticed all the people glancing furtively at Toonka while passing by. There was a mixture of discontent, dread, and fear in their gazes.

Toonka continued to speak.

�This central palace is where the royal family stays.�

The Whipper Kingdom was still a monarchy.

Toonka and the non-mage faction tore down the Magic Tower and emerged as influential people in the Whipper Kingdom.

However, the royal family remained the same, as well as the royal family�s faction of nobles and government officials within the kingdom.

Cale had arrived at the innermost part of the central palace before he even realized it.

There were no more passersby around them.

In addition, there were familiar-looking warriors everywhere.

This place could be clearly felt as, �Toonka�s place�.

�This is the operations room.�

Toonka stood in front of the operations room. However, there were native citizen warriors glancing at Toonka as they stood by both sides of the door.

Toonka asked the warriors a question.

�What is it?�

�Commander, it�s just that��

One of the warriors looked at Cale and hesitated, unable to answer. Toonka, who saw this, knitted his brows as he forcefully opened the door.

Click.

He was still the hot-tempered, unhesitating Toonka. Thanks to him, Cale could hear the voices past the open door.
