He heard the White Star�s disappointed voice, but Cale ignored it.
The White Star looked at Cale with an even stronger pitying gaze.

�Did they say that they don�t know how long Duke Fredo will be in a coma for?�

The White Star could not hide his disappointment after hearing the news from Duke Fredo�s residence this morning.

�Tsk. I can�t believe I can�t use an important pawn at a time like this.�

The White Star could not help but be disappointed that one of the cards that could help his plan was not usable.
But the White Star was quietly looking at the 12 years old boy who had his head down for a different reason.

��I guess he is quite torn up.�

The boy who was frowning as if he was holding something in was sitting with his head held down.

The way he looked made it impossible not to pity him.
But it also made some other people sneer.

�It looks like the next Ejellan generation will not be able to keep the Duke title.�

Count Mock, the Dark Elf old man, was holding back a sneer as he looked at the White Star and Naru.

�But at least he managed to participate in the assembly as the Duke�s envoy even with his weak personality.�

He held back his sneer and continued the meeting.

However, other than the White Star who was on a slightly higher platform and Count Mock who was standing to lead the meeting�
The other two nobles were looking at Naru with odd gazes.

The woman who was attending the grand assembly in full armor.
Count Hubesha.
She was confused while looking at Naru who had his head down but his fists clenched.

�He�s different than usual.�

She was sitting on Naru�s left and could see the White Star looking pitifully at Naru, but she could not take her gaze away from Naru�s clenched fists that were shaking.

�He�s clenching his fists like that because he is concerned about his father?�

That was not it.
This was actually-

�Isn�t that what people do when they are angry?�

Count Hubesha suddenly recalled what Naru had shouted to the White Star when they visited the Ejellan Duchy.

��Cale Henituse. I will never forgive him. I will make him pay for this!� JrNovels.com
