��I am the leader of the northwest region.�

The fact that he was the leader of the northwest region�s nobles meant that he had the responsibility to protect their lands.

Taylor wanted to smack his own head.

��Cage. Is that why you went out of the castle?�

His close friend Cage had stealthily left as soon as the battle had started, saying that she had something to do outside.
However, he could not continue his thoughts about his close friend.

�What can we do?�

Taylor could not raise his head.
The White Star continued to speak.

�If you are a crown prince who loves the citizens of the Roan Kingdom, shouldn�t you save your beloved citizens?�

�We lost.�

That was the only thought on Taylor�s mind when he heard the White Star�s comment.

�We lost before we even fought.�

��Ha. My goodness.�
��Shit.�

The vassals were gasping as well.
How could the crown prince and the future king decline a negotiation when the enemy had his citizens as hostages?

That could not happen.

The vassals realized that they could only be dragged around however the White Star wanted now.

�We lost.�

They had lost a battle of the minds before their forces even fought.

�T, that damn bastard!�

One of the generals could not hide his anger and shouted.

�Hahaha.�

There was someone who was laughing at his comment.
They all turned their heads. JrNovels.com
