She was correct.
The nobles who were shouting loudly to kill the White Star were the first to withdraw.

Valentino looked toward the desert.

He could not see the dead mana smoke properly because of the dark night sky and the black desert.
But he thought he could faintly make out something that looked like heat simmer.

He would have thought it was a mirage in the past, but knowing what it was made him afraid.

That was why Valentino could not help but ask.

�Commander Cale is going to fight inside that black smoke?�

Humans will die if they absorb dead mana.

Cale should know that as well. But he was willing to place himself into that deathtrap?

�Yes, sir. The young master-nim is fighting in the desert.�

Valentino looked toward the calmly responding Eruhaben and asked again.

�The Dark Elves and necromancer are one thing, but won�t Commander Cale and the sword master be in danger if they absorb the dead mana smoke?�
�Of course.�
��Even though young master Cale said he would be safe and that he had a way to fight��

Humanely speaking�
Forget his position as a crown prince; Valentino started to get emotional as he felt thankful and sorry to Cale in a humane way.
He was sad, but he was also filled with anticipation.
He felt sad thinking about Cale who would suffer, but he was excited at a potential future without the White Star.

�Hmm.�

Eruhaben observed Valentino whose emotions were completely visible on his face as he caressed his chin.

�It�s true that Cale Henituse is suffering. That unlucky bastard is always wearing himself out�. Should I help him out?�

Eruhaben started to speak for that unlucky bastard.

�Your highness.�
�Is there something you wish to say?�

Valentino looked toward Eruhaben with curiosity as this was the first time Eruhaben called out to him to speak. Eruhaben who received his gaze continued to speak in a calm voice.

�There is a way for a living human to fight effectively in dead mana.�

Valentino�s eyes instantly opened wide.

�What is it? What is the method? Quickly tell me!� JrNovels.com
