Fredo recalled how Bob had introduced himself.

�Nice to meet you. My name is Bob and I am his highness, the crown prince�s proxy and also the person in charge of the crown prince�s information network.�

The part about how he was in charge of the information network stuck out to Fredo.

�He is the person at the center of the information.�

Fredo�s gaze stealthily became sharp as he looked at Bob.

Information was sometimes more important than diplomacy, administration, and troops.
But the fact that someone in charge of that was this young must mean that this person was quite skilled.

Fredo saw Alberu Crossman as a talented but calm and collected person, so there was no way that Bob, someone that Alberu had selected, would be useless.

�I guess he is a vassal who has grown up and studied together with the crown prince since they were young?�

The part about how he was the crown prince�s shadow was memorable as well.
It made it sound as if he had been guarding the Roan Kingdom while hiding in the darkness and transforming the Roan Kingdom into a strong kingdom.
Furthermore, it was shocking that he and Cale were calling each other brothers.

�Crown prince Alberu Crossman and Cale Henituse are sworn brothers too.�

Had the two of them and this Bob person who lived in the shadows created this sworn brotherhood between the three of them?

Alberu Crossman would handle things at the front end.
Cale Henituse would take care of the dangers throughout the kingdom and the Western continent.
Finally, Bob would take care of a lot of different things without showing himself in order to protect the kingdom.

�But it is shocking that this Bob is quarter Dark Elf.�

He thought that this might have been how the Roan Kingdom was able to connect with the Dark Elves.

�Shocking, truly shocking.�

Fredo tensed up.
He could not look down on this person.

Fredo stood up from the bed.

�I can�t welcome you to such an important meeting looking like this.�
�The place and your appearance are not important. The contents of the discussion are what are important.�

Alberu was speaking gently and respectfully, but what he was saying was pressuring Fredo.

�Hand over proper compensation for the Roan Kingdom.�

Alberu was giving off that kind of aura without any concern. JrNovels.com
