Cale gently smiled at the prince, and started to think.

'I heard nothing. Yes, I know nothing.'

The Black Dragon kept dragging on about asking why a dragon would ever use its magic for such an useless man and how he would never do such a thing, but Cale tried his best to not listen.

"Hmm? His pupils are also dyed. This weakling is definitely plotting something. Weak human, be careful."

'Please stop leaking his secrets...!'

"Hmm? This person is not weak. Weak human, be extra careful."

'Aigoo...'

Cale's mind began to think quickly.

The prince's mother was not the queen. She was a concubine, and she originally was a servant, one of the citizens who worked in the royal family. The third prince's mother was the current queen. The crown prince's mother is said to have had a questionable death when the crown prince was young.

Cale started to think about the true identity of the crown prince's mother.

'No... Whether he hides it or not, it's not my business.'

Cale did not listen to the murmuring black dragon. Something must have been really interesting, as the Black Dragon continued to talk about the crown prince.

"...Mister Cale seems to be a bit like me."

The crown prince was saying something, but Cale was too busy thinking about things, so he smiled and casually responded.

"Your majesty, such statement is the biggest honor of my life."

The crown prince let go of Cale's hand, as if he was nervous. Cale did not notice the nervousness, and stepped back without a word, moving behind Eric. It was easy to use Eric as a shield when things got complicated.

The crown prince observed Cale with curiosity, before turning his gaze over to Eric.

Eric started to speak with the crown prince once again.

Cale watched him and started to think.

'There is a reason.'

There was a reason the crown prince was wary of the second and third princes. There was also a reason as to why the king's favor suddenly went to the third prince. He was able to guess it all.

'Is he perhaps not really his son? Or is there a different secret to his birth?'

Cale's mind went chaotic with questions, but he reaffirmed himself once more.

'Be still, and this is none of my business.'

He would be still from here on. He made the decision to not find out about anything else.

Cale will let Eric, Gilbert and Amiru do the work from this point on.

The nobles from other regions, who had never met him previously, approached him to talk. Cale would engage in small talk while also glance at Eric to take over sometimes.

Cale looked toward Eric, who was dealing with everything for him, and looked at the clock. The feast would be over soon. Of course, the nobles were waiting for the conversation time that would happen after the meal.
