“Dongsaeng! Congratulations on your return!”

As Alberu Crossman approached him…

Cale used all of the agility he had to dodge Alberu Crossman.

“…Is there something you need me to do, your highness?”

Cale asked disrespectfully with a scowl on his face, but Alberu just smiled brightly.

“Haha! Why would I make my dongsaeng do anything?! Hahaha!”

Raon said something serious in Cale’s mind.

– Human, something’s suspicious about our crown prince. Do you think that the crown prince is trying to scam us?

‘Raon’s learning ability really is amazing. His instincts are pretty good too.’

Cale peeked behind him.

The bishop in charge of the Church of the God of Death in Huiss City, the capital of Roan Kingdom, was smiling awkwardly while looking at all of this.

Yesterday…

Cale thought that he should at least inform people about his return time so he had requested a call to the Roan Kingdom yesterday using the divine item.

‘It’s you?’

‘Yes, young master-nim. It is me.’

Beacrox was the one to pick it up.

He was certain that he had called Alberu Crossman’s study, but Beacrox was seated there alone when he picked up the phone.

‘Where are the others?’

‘…They are all busy, young master-nim.’

‘I’m heading back tomorrow. Please hear the details when you get here, young master-nim. I will deliver the message. Please let me know the time of your arrival.’

Beacrox ended the short conversation with a gruff look on his face.

However, Cale couldn’t help but feel unsettled after hearing what On said once the call ended.

‘Something is weird.’

‘What is?’

‘…He was folding white gloves.’

That was correct.

Beacrox was seated alone in the crown prince’s study, folding dozens of white gloves.

“…….”

Cale’s suspicious gaze headed toward the crown prince, but the crown prince was still shining. Energetically.

“Let’s go to the Royal Palace. Doesn’t that sound great? I’ve already prepared a carriage.”

“…I understand for now, your highness.”

Cale moved awkwardly and almost unwillingly as he followed Alberu.

However, he had to stop walking for a moment.

The crown prince turned around to speak to Eruhaben, Choi Han, Sui Khan, and the others.

“Ah. I’ve prepared multiple carriages so you can each relax in one as we move.”

Alberu was speaking informally to Cale’s group because they were in front of the bishop.

– It looks like something must have happened.

Cale nodded his head at the ancient Dragon’s comment.

Alberu was trying to separate Cale from the others right now.
