�I think your ancestor was a criminal?�
�Hmm?�
�Huh?�

The two of them just stared at each other with stupid expressions on their faces.

��What about my ancestor?�
��I said that he was a criminal?�

�Is there something wrong with my ears?�

Alberu looked not majestic at all as he stuck his finger into his ear.

�I think something�s blocking my ears.�
�Ah. Then should I explain more clearly?�

�No need. My ancestor was a criminal, haha. How could I hear such nonsense?! Hahaha-�
�Your highness, you heard correctly.�
�Hmm?�
�Huh?�

Cale and Alberu blankly stared at each other again.
The two of them were silent for a while. Alberu soon started to frown.

�This is probably the most shocking thing I�ve heard in a while!�
��Is that so?�
�Is that so?!�

Alberu started to frown even more.

�I was planning on telling him about the royal family�s secret and talk about if I deserved to be king� So, what the f*ck is up with this nonsense?�

He had decided to share this secret with Cale Henituse.
He was pretty much the head of the Crossman household already as he had the seal, but King Zed Crossman had seriously opposed his decision.
Alberu had ignored that opposition and brought Cale here.

Cale must have asked about information on the Crossman Royal family because he thought it might be useful to fight against the White Star.
Alberu knew this as well and wanted to help him defeat the White Star.
However, there was another reason as well.

��My weakness.�

His actions today were pretty much showing Cale Henituse his weakness.

First was the royal family�s weakness.
The Crossman Royal family was said to have received the blessing and protection of the Sun God. However, looking deeper into it, it was a curse rather than a blessing.
The Crossman Royal family�s power and fame would fall to the ground if this was revealed. JrNovels.com
