Chapter 89: I Suppose It Is A Gift (2)

Everyone quickly shut their mouth as soon as words started to appear.

"I'm guessing this is a continuation of the previous one."

Nature had been speaking to Gashan ever since they got teleported here.
Commenting on how the Crown Prince is an existence of nature and that he belong to this world.

Cale and Alberu both just quietly observed each other.

"And?"

The crown prince's response at the end of that silence was pretty confident. His face was not shaking at all. Cale shrugged his shoulders.

"Just that I can give this to you, but not for free."

"Wow."

"It is admirable how accepting you are, young master Cale."

Some gasp in admiration while others were in disbelief on how Cale could make a deal so casually to the Crown Prince.

Alberu couldn't believe Cale had nothing else to say after giving him such a strong blow.

"Ha, haha-"

"I feel bad for you, your highness. Having to deal with Cale all this time."

Said Bud while he chug a bottle of alcohol presented in front of him. Cale quietly glare at Bud while Glenn just sigh.

Alberu started to laugh. It made Cale wonder what would have happened if there wasn't soundproof magic in the office. Either that, or what would have happened if he hadn't sent the servants and his subordinates out.

The atmosphere turned chilly in the room.

"I was planning on putting you to work. I shouldn't have told you to come."

Cale's lips started to twist at that sentence.

'He really was trying to put me to work.'

Alberu who's beside Cale, saw his smug face and instantly frown.

Alberu was tired of that mug on Cale's face that was as relaxed as usual. His gaze headed toward the bottle with the black liquid.

Mother.

The atmosphere in the room instantly turn gloomy.

The weight of that word pierced into Alberu's heart.

Almost everyone knew what had happened to the Crown Prince's mother.

'Died of unknown causes.'

Cale did not say anything else and just sat there observing the crown prince, who was staring at the bottle.

Dark Elf.

They were creatures of the dark that were chastised by the people of the continent because of their affinity to darkness. The base of their power was the dead mana flowing out of the dead.

In the past, Dark Elves tended to be found near graves or villages that were destroyed by illnesses.

That was why people hated Dark Elves, even though the Dark Elves never harmed people nor desecrated corpses.

People silently look towards Alberu with a bit guilt and pity in their heart.

This led to the Dark Elves living in hiding. They were hiding even better than the Elves.

Alberu moved his gaze from the glass bottle and looked toward Cale. Cale just smiled back at him.

"And you'll keep your mouth shut?"
