"What do you think of the players?"
Emperor Iselus had his hand on the head of his son, crown prince Lincoln, with a soft expression while asking. This made the second prince Maxmilian clench his fist while lowering his gaze.
"It's an absolute for the son of the grand duke."
Prince Maxmilian scoff.
This made Emperor Iselus look at him helplessly and said, "How about you Maxmilian? do you have any thoughts?"
"Your majesty, this generation has many talents, do you expect me to give a blind guess when some of them could be my possible subordinate in the future? I appreciate any talents and I don't only look for who's the strongest."
Emperor Iselus nodded and praise the second prince.
Prince Lincoln who met the hunter eyes of his brother immediately averted his gaze and bit his lips. He [Lincoln] knew that his father would show favor to him in he public but in private it was his brother who he sure has the most absolute power. Why? Because before him, it's his brother who is the empire's crown prince. He just become one because of the influence of his mother.
His father's emperor makes him the crown prince which also makes him the target of an assassination. His mother who is ambitious and greedy for luxury only shows her love to him while he's valuable and is in use, after that he knew once he became useless he would be thrown away, especially since his mother is pregnant again.
And his brother? he was hated and seen as an obstacle [a useful one].
Being used by everyone.
Crown Prince Lincoln is a perfect marionette.
"Good job Reign"
Eugene patted Reign's head and continue to walk.
He didn't see his teammates froze from what they saw and Reign who was patted in the head blushed uncontrollably.
They only encounter one second-level demonized beast and it's enough for one to deal with it. Eugene encourages his subordinate to do the hunting because such a weak beast is nothing.
He will only move his body once a beast besieges them or his teammates finally won't be able to handle it. Why? because he wanted his teammates to shine and show off their skills. Is it to observe them if they're qualified enough to be with him.
It's not about being arrogant.
He just thinks that this selection is an opportunity for him to find some worthy comrades to be with him in the future.
Timber bit his lips and grab Eugene's cape worriedly.
"Eugene, you shouldn't pat someone's head so casually!"
Eugene paused and look at Timber confusedly. He just did that to compliment them because he doesn't know how to blow rainbow farts. He didn't expect Timber to eat vinegar and stick to him like a baby panda with a strong grip.
This made him so helpless.
"Come on, everyone is a younger brother."
"You can't!"
Timber panic: "M-Mom won't be able to give birth to many babies!"
Eugene: "!!!"
Everyone: "???"
Eugene immediately covers Timber's mouth because the selection is equivalent to being a live broadcast, it means what they're doing and saying is all heard and seen by the people outside.
