Rex flinched.

Cale gave a simple answer to the words he spoke with great difficulty.

��And I am a commoner.�

Someone who was neither a member of the royal family nor a noble could not become the Emperor.

�I know.�

Cale answered nonchalantly as if he was questioning why Rex was asking something so obvious.

Rex suddenly became speechless. Why did Cale say those things to Rex if he knew?

��Although I may look like a just person and seem a bit smart, I am timid and easily scared.�

Cale paused unnoticeably for a moment.

�Oh, what is this?�

Cale looked at Rex with a peculiar expression and began to speak.

�Yeah, you seem that way to me too.�

Rex started to frown.

�Then why did you choose me-!�

Why did you choose me to become the Emperor?

Rex, who couldn�t even utter the word, �Emperor,� easily, was staring fiercely at Cale.

He looked frightened. It wasn�t the look of someone who was unwilling, but rather the look of someone who was frightened at the weight of the title.

�Say it in reverse.�

��Excuse me?�

Rex flinched at Cale�s words and asked again. Cale repeated what he had said.

�I said say it in reverse.�

�..Say what in reverse?�

�Say �Although I may look like a just person and seem a bit smart, I am timid and easily scared,� but in reverse.�
