“So, what you are saying is that this Xiaolen World gave you a variety of mines as a reward?”

“Yes, your highness.”

Alberu brushed his face with both hands multiple times while looking at the calmly responding Cale.

“Hahaha-”

He then laughed.

‘What the hell?’

Cale stared at the crown prince, who was frowning and then laughing and then frowning and then laughing, with an unsettled look on his face.

“That’s right, crown prince! It’s good to laugh! Laugh a lot!”

He also looked at Raon, who was laughing along with Alberu, with the same gaze.

It felt as if Raon was getting influenced by Alberu the more time they spent together.

‘…Hmm. That’s not bad though.’

The crown prince was the type to take care of things well, so it would be pretty good for Raon to take after the crown prince’s disposition.

“Haaa-”

The crown prince laughed for a while before sighing and then mumbling.

“You have a whole gamut of mines that are the larger than both the Eastern and Western continents’ mines combined? And you can have them installed wherever you want? There is even a mine with magic stones imbued with dead mana?”

Cale nonchalantly asked a question because Alberu looked quite odd mumbling to himself.

“Are you still injured, your highness?”

The person who had been lying on the bed in the call seemed quite fine now, but…

“…It sounds like you are only asking to follow proper etiquette?”

Alberu looked shocked that Cale asked that so nonchalantly before nodding his head.

“Yeah. I’m fine. I’m perfectly healthy.”

“Raon.”

Cale called out to Raon in a low voice.

“Gently push his highness’s side.”

“I got it, human!”

“No, wait-!”

Raon poked the crown prince’s side.

“Ugh.”

Raon flinched.

“Hey, crown prince, did that hurt a lot?”

His round eyes opened even rounder.

“I, I really gave it a gentle poke! I pushed ever so gently so that even our human wouldn’t think it hurt!”

Raon’s expression became serious.

“Human! Our crown prince’s health seems to be in a serious state! He’s even weaker than you! He’s totally feeble!”

The crown prince’s face looked more and more embarrassed the longer the black Dragon continued to speak.

‘…Is that really something to be that embarrassed about?’

Cale did not like either of their reactions very much but had to say what he needed to say.

“I heard that your right arm and upper body were injured, your highness. Please explain in detail.”

“…There are no issues with regular movements.”

The crown prince let out a short sigh.

“Of course, it would be difficult to fight.”
