��What do you mean?�

�They aren�t even a person?�

�I mean that they are not human. The person who will obtain the Archduke position is a Dark Elf.�

Fredo listened to Cale�s calm voice before thinking about the Dark Elves related to Cale and the Roan Kingdom.
Those strong individuals had shown themselves many times in the battles against the White Star.

��Are you talking about the Dark Elves who cooperated with the Roan Kingdom? The woman who was the leader of those Dark Elves?�
�That Dark Elf is already a citizen of the Roan Kingdom.�

Tasha was a Dark Elf whose merits were already accepted at the Roan Kingdom�s awards ceremony after the war.
She did not fit the condition that Cale was talking about.

�You don�t need to know who it is right now.�
��Are you saying you will not tell me right now? Do you think we can have a proper discussion like that?�

Fredo could see Cale staring at him with a piercing gaze after hearing that question.

�Duke Fredo, you�ve been hiding a lot of things from me too.�

Fredo finally saw the passage behind the sitting Cale�s shoulder.
He then clearly heard Cale�s voice again.

�The White Star and I are an inevitable pairing. Is that how you phrased it?�

Fredo looked troubled.

�I�m quite suspicious about your intentions about bringing me into this.�

Fredo started to frown as Cale continued to speak in a gentle voice.

�Huuuuuu.�

He let out a deep sigh.

�I�ll hear you out first.�

He stopped being angry at Cale and looked ready to listen.

�Good. You need to listen first so that we can negotiate any excessive demands.�

�Negotiate? Not force, but negotiate?�

Fredo�s eyes clouded over. He looked back at Cale who nonchalantly commented.

�Of course, not with me.� JrNovels.com
