�Ah, of course.�

Amiru, as well as Gilbert and Eric who were listening, all started to smile. It was a similar smile to Cale�s. After today, the nobles will all hear about what is going on.

The development and investment for a military base at the Northeastern coastline. That was why Amiru and Gilbert were hurrying out of the capital tonight. It was to prevent any false information from leaking out, as well as because the crown wanted things to progress as quickly as possible.

Of course, this was only possible because the Henituse family agreed to loan a significant amount of money to Amiru and Gilbert�s territories. That was the other reason why Cale needed to visit Amiru and Gilbert�s territories.

�Cale, we are planning to send someone as well, but if you are going to go there anyways, take a look while you are there.�

�Father, wouldn�t it better for an expert to go?�

�Having more pairs of eyes is always better.�

Cale agreed to do as Count Deruth asked.

�We are in your care.�

�We are in your care, young master Cale.�

Cale waved at Amiru and Gilbert to say not to worry about it, as he looked back to the front. King Zed had arrived.

The memorial and medal ceremony then started.

King Zed spoke in a loud voice that was stronger than ever. There still was a large number of people in the plaza, but the atmosphere was completely different. It was very quiet.

�We are gathered back here today to show that we will not cower under fear.�

King Zed called out to the crowd once again. It was a warning to the enemies, as well as something to rally the crowd. King Zed looked down to the plaza from the highest platform as he continued to speak.

�Many people showed heroic deeds during that incident. We were able to protect this land like the past thanks to their bravery.�

It looked like King Zed had made eye contact with Cale at that time, but Cale hoped that it was not the case. Cale stealthily turned away in order to look past the King toward the sky behind him. He then thought about what the Black Dragon had said.

�Blessing of the Sun God? I do not feel the power of any god from those weak humans. The only special one is the crown prince.�

There was no truth to the belief that the Crossman family was blessed by the Sun God. Cale, who had learned another useless truth, decided to pretend that he did not know anything, as usual. The Black Dragon seemed to get excited at the fact that Cale told him to keep that a secret between the two of them, and happily agreed.

�In that regard, we will now hand out the medals to those heroic individuals!�

King Zed started the medal ceremony and everyone went up one by one to receive their medal.

Waaaaaaaaaaa-

Cheering filled the plaza, as if it had never been silent from the start. The Black Dragon�s voice filled Cale�s head once again.
