�Why are you thinking about the Caro Kingdom�s feelings? If you think about it, we are the ones who are suffering. Well, you guys, not me. You guys, my aunt, and the Dark Elves.�

Alberu was certain about something.

�Crown prince Valentino and the crown might be upset. However, their pride is not more important than the lives of the Caro Kingdom�s citizens. I�m sure he�ll thank you.�

Valentino was thanking Cale as Alberu had suspected.
He meant it. That was why Cale was honest back.

�Your highness, thank you for granting our request.�

Valentino smiled in a slightly more relaxed way with Cale thanking him as Cale Henituse and not as the crown prince�s representative.

�No. You are truly a hero for what you are doing.�

Cale�s expression shook for a moment but Valentino continued to share his honest sentiments.

�Honestly speaking, what wealth or fame do you have to gain by fighting in the Caro Kingdom? It�s just trouble for you and your peers.�

Valentino�s gaze was full of warmth as he looked toward Choi Han and Cale. At the same time, he felt bitter that his kingdom had nobody who could help out these heroes.
It was at that moment.

�If you think this is difficult��

Valentino looked toward Cale who was speaking.

�Please help us next time. I believe it will be much better if the Caro Kingdom fights with us.�
��Help you next time?�
�Yes, your highness, is it an unreasonable request?�

Valentino slowly started to smile while looking into Cale�s calm and confident gaze. That forced smile had disappeared.

�Absolutely not. It is not unreasonable at all. The Caro Kingdom will fight beside you next time.�
�Thank you. I will trust that to be the case.�

A hero, a person who was becoming a hero, requested for them to fight by his side next time.
That fact alone was enough for Valentino to draw out the Caro Kingdom�s future. It was because Cale�s voice and gaze were full of confidence that he would fight alongside the Caro Kingdom next time.

�That means he believes that our kingdom will become stronger.�

Valentino who had been feeling bitter and upset that they had to continue to receive help from others since the battle against the Indomitable Alliance now had a strong determination in his mind. He opened his shoulders up slightly wider than earlier as he continued to speak.

�Ahem, anyway, I will grant you everything you wished for, but we cannot sit around and do nothing.�
�Of course. I understand.�

Valentino raised his hand once Cale accepted. One of the knights walked over to the only window in the reception room.

The large window was soon opened. JrNovels.com
