�Exactly. He�ll be like a rat trapped in a jar.�

And a cat will catch that rat.

Cale shifted his gaze towards the man standing behind Fresia with a concerned expression on his face.

�Sir Rex.�

��Young master-nim.�

�Did you have something to say to me?�

The Cat Knight Sir Rex had run straight here the moment he heard of Cale�s arrival. He responded to the white-haired Cale with urgency in his voice.

�Yes, there is something I must tell you.�

�Follow me.�

Cale headed toward the second floor, and Cale and Rex soon sat down on the couch facing each other.

Cale could see Rex�s tightly clenched fists. He looked quite tired and had dark circles under his eyes as if he had a big concern.

Sir Rex bit his lips at Cale�s gaze and then started to speak.

�Young master Cale-nim.�

Sir Rex remembered what Cale has previously said while pointing toward him.

�Sir Rex is the man who will defeat the Emperor and the Imperial Prince and rise to the throne.�

Rex had been greatly shocked by that remark. At the same time, those words kept him unable to sleep at night. The contents of the books that Cale gave him filled his head.

Leadership, public administration, and Emperor studies.

The information that he had read after Cale told him to study were all getting jumbled up in his head.

The Empire seemed to be tilting away from its stable foundation due to large and small incidents. Rex had been noticing that change in atmosphere these days.

That was the reason that the things that he learned were dominating his mind more and more.

However, Cale, the person who could put the chaos in his mind to rest, was extremely busy so Rex could not see him until today.

He slowly began to speak.

�I don�t have what it takes to be a king.�

�I know.� JrNovels.com
