Less than half a day had passed since the end of the first battle, however, the defeat of the Empire was an interesting story in the capitals of each kingdom.

� Isn�t this how we get the Empire to become even more panicked?

�That�s quite superb your highness. You�re as quick as a swift flying squirrel.�

Alberu frowned as he couldn�t tell if Cale�s words were a compliment or banter. He spoke to the punk who shared a similar personality as his own with a sour expression.

� You say that now, but you�ll be going to the Empire in order to spread the news as well, aren�t you?

Alberu turned his gaze to the person behind Cale as he said that.

� Well, our Sword of the Empire seems to be quite shocked, so you probably have to take care of that first.

There was a man bound with all kinds of restraints and magic spells.

The man showed no strength in his eyes as if he had aged a few decades over the span of a few hours.

His cheeks were quivering in shock.

Duke Huten, the Sword of the Empire.

He dejectedly looked at the white-haired Cale and crown prince Alberu, who was displayed through the video communication device.

Choi Han, who had the dye magic removed by now, was standing behind him while keeping a close watch over him.

��Mmfh�Mmfh�Mmfh!�

Duke Huten, who couldn�t utter a word because his mouth was gagged, nevertheless uttered a cry, or some sort of muffled groan-like sound.

�The Roan Kingdom! You Roan Kingdom bastards were the masterminds all along! How dare you bastards try and usurp the Empire�s position!�

Unfortunately, none of his thoughts could be said out loud.

Duke Huten�s eyes became bloodshot from resentful shock.

However, that didn�t bother Cale. A good person might have a guilty conscience, but both of them were people in positions of power who had played a role in the lives of many during the battle.

Those who had blood on their hands were pretty much the same.

Creak�

Cale rose from his chair and saw crown prince Alberu gently waving his hand at him as he straightened out his priest robe.

� Do a good job spreading the news in the Empire. Let the people know that the Empire suffered a crushing defeat so that they can grumble and complain to the Imperial Prince.

Duke Huten�s whole body trembled. JrNovels.com
