"Did you call, Your Highness?"
"What on earth were you thinking? Am I amusing you?"
The Crown Prince, who had called Kael to the imperial palace as soon as the day dawned, approached him, panting.
Kael looked at the Crown Prince with an expressionless face without any emotion.
Maybe he was never unpredictable like this.
When Kael rescued Leo and broke the Crown Prince's plan, he could clearly see him getting angry.
"That's the territory of the Corrupted. How could you go there recklessly and make the situation worse..."
"It was an area on the perimeter, and we found him while on patrol. I think the Imperial Knights being taken away is an even bigger problem."
"Then what if a war breaks out!"
"Even though the Corrupted have been threatening the north for a long time, they are not strong enough to declare war on the Empire, nor are they discerning."
"Still!"
"If you were concerned about such a situation, you should not have sent the Commander of the Fidel Knights to the north in the first place, Your Highness."
Unable to say anything more, the speechless Crown Prince glared at Kael with an angry face.
Kael barely swallowed the sigh that was about to burst out.
'I knew he had a weird sense of inferiority in the past, but I didn't expect it to be this much.'
He already knew that the Crown Prince's competence was insufficient, but it was worse than he thought.
"No matter how much Your Highness wants to have her, you won't be able to. So stop playing games."
The Crown Prince's face distorted.
However, Kael did not intend to stop speaking.
Until now, he had taken it moderately, but it was different when his marriage to Adeline was confirmed.
He had to draw a line and step on the buds with certainty.
"I think I told you clearly. The moment the Inver family and the Tien family unite, I will consider it treason."

"Do it. Both I and Lady Tien are innocent, so we will do our best to plead not guilty. You can always put a knife in my neck, if you can handle everything that's going to happen in the process."
He was being sincere, not bluffing, and the Crown Prince knew it. His tightly clenched fists shook.
"Everyone in the Tien family knows that Your Highness sent the Commander of the Fidel Knights to the north because of the young lady."
"..."
"No noble family in the world is fully loyal knowing that you purposely set up a member of the family, Your Highness."
"..."
"Think calmly about whether it is a good choice to turn your back on both the north and the east."
The Tien family had territories on the eastern border and coast of the empire.
If the Crown Prince did not cease his bravado and turned his back on Kael and the Tien family, it was like losing the two defenses that protected the empire from the outside.
"Tomorrow, you will sit on the throne, Your Highness."
"..."
"Why are you trying to make enemies when the power of the throne is at its weakest? Even if you gather up the pieces, there's not enough time."
