Cale sat down on the couch and practiced using just a small amount of the shield�s power, before noticing his reflection in the mirror.

�It should be fine.�

The blood-crazed mage. It was said that this person went into a frenzy by the color red. That was why, in the novel, the mage went crazy after seeing Rosalyn for the first time, saying that they needed to cut Rosalyn�s head off to take her red hair and pupils.

Cale brushed back his hair, that was an even brighter red than Rosalyn�s hair, and started to think.

�What are the chances that I�ll be in close proximity to that lunatic?�

Even if something like that happened, he just had to tell Choi Han to kill. Cale was not worried that his own head would get cut off. Cale relaxed and waited until Ron came to wake him up. Once Ron came at the usual time, Cale started to speak.

�Today will be your last day to serve me.�

�I can do it again in a year.�

That sounded terrible to Cale. He was planning on sending Ron to Choi Han immediately upon his return in a year. Cale was excited that he was getting rid of two baggages today, and started to speak with a light heart.

�Let�s get ready.�

Cale made all the preparations and headed for the palace. All the participating nobles were scheduled to move together. The Black Dragon was going to come to the palace to report on the progress.

After all of the preparations were completed, Cale got on a carriage in front of the residence�s main gate. It was not the Henituse carriage, instead, he was going to be riding with someone else today.

�Why did you want to go together?�

Amiru responded with a calm smile, as Cale asked the question while getting onto the carriage. Amiru had reached out and asked Cale to go with her today.

She got right to the point, since Cale did the same without even greeting her first.

�Young master Cale, what do you think about our territory building a naval base?�

Cale started to smile.

He had already received a letter from Eric letting him know that the tourism investment discussion did not go well. Eric said both Gilbert and Amiru were very disappointed. However, Amiru did not seem to be very disappointed. In fact, she seemed to have made up her mind about something else, something big.

He looked toward her and started to speak.

�Didn�t you already make up your mind, young lady Amiru?�

Amiru lightly nodded her head.

�Yes. I didn�t think it was a decision I could make on my own, so I contacted my mother. I plan to discuss it with young master Gilbert today as well.�

The creation of a new military base. Something like that was not easy to accomplish. The money wasn�t the issue, it was more about the relationship between powers within the territory that complicated things. Especially in times of peace, like right now.

That was why the crown would have their eyes on the Northeast. The east was the only side with access to the ocean, but, most importantly, there was a balance of power in the East. It would also be difficult for the high-ranking nobles in the other regions to influence such a base as well. JrNovels.com
