It progressed without any problems. But Cale, who had been watching this from the side, started to notice something odd. Eric noticed Cale�s expression, and quickly came over with a concerned expression to whisper to Cale.

�Cale, remember. Be still. Just be still.�

Cale ignored Eric�s words and looked at his seat. The new guests were going to be seated next to Cale. This was probably decided by the crown prince as well.

�It�s not like he can put them next to someone else�s dog. Our family is the strongest of the remaining four households.�

The servants bowed after they finished fixing up the table, before departing.

�Please sit.�

Alberu gestured to the group, and Cale quickly walked over to sit back down. There was no chair to his side, however, a wheelchair soon came to fill that spot.

�Nice to meet you.�

Taylor greeted the Northeastern nobles as he joined them. Cage naturally sat down next to Taylor. The two of them, no, all three of them, including Cale, pretended like this was their first meeting with each other.

� This is entertaining.

Cale agreed with the Black Dragon�s voice that was transmitted in his mind and looked toward the crown prince.

�Then, although it was slightly delayed, let us resume.�

The crown prince announced the start of the gathering.

�I wanted to gather together the individuals who will bring forth the future of our kingdom and share a meal together. Thank you all for showing up, and I hope we have a wonderful meal.�

As soon as the crown prince finished speaking, the servants entered with plates of food for each table. An orchestra started to play background music from the back of the hall as well.

This was the difference with a real feast. It was a mix of a feast and discussion, with moving between tables being natural.

�Young master Cale, we plan to go greet the crown prince in a bit.�

Cale nodded his head at Amiru�s statement, and focused on the food on his plate. But his mind became a bit complicated.

�What is his intention?�

There was no way the crown prince just called the nobles together for no reason. He definitely had a reason. Cale had a few different ideas about what it may be.

�It might be because of the war in the Western Continent�s southern region, or because he caught wind about the civil war that will happen in the Whipper Kingdom.�

The Whipper Kingdom was where princess Rosalyn was headed to, the kingdom with the Magic Tower. A civil war will soon break out in the Whipper Kingdom. A war would break out between the mages and the non-mages.

There were a lot of thoughts in his head, but Cale decided to stop thinking about it.

�No need for me to care, since I will just be very still.� JrNovels.com
