Eugene didn't want to fight with Kaizer.

Fortunately, the emperor and the princes already arrived as they pay respect and take their sit, listening to the emperor's speech of honoring the soldiers and keeping their loyalty to the empire. Eugene glances at the second prince who is so manly and exudes strong male hormones and turns to the crown prince who looks so delicate like a pampered princess.

He couldn't help but fell into a deep thought.

Is Lincoln so beautiful? He can't remember much about the face of his love rival in the past but seeing Lincoln made him doubt how such a beautiful man fight him for a woman. With that face, Lincoln deserved attention from a man but fell in love with a woman instead.

Now, he couldn't help but feel curious.

He also doesn't know what happen with Lincoln when the second prince Maximillian ascend but he does hear a rumor that Lincoln was imprisoned to be tortured.

What a bad fate.

At least in his past life he only experience a quick death, not like Lincoln who is rumored to be tortured by the second prince in the underground prison especially made for the fallen prince.

"Now we will proceed to reward an honorable badge to those who contribute to the victory of the war. Once a name was stated please stand and walk in the middle to show respect and appreciation. The emperor will personally reward the chosen knight."

Eugene claps his hands with the others.

The first person who was called was the grand duke who lead the army. Second is Duke Del viltaria who is in charge of security and protection and third is Marquis Shradinza who becomes the source of information.

The three walk in the middle one by one and bow toward the emperor.

Their contribution was announced and the apportionment of territory was also officially declared making the nobles and officials gasp in surprise. How to say? Is there an emperor throughout history who will give power to nobles that can threaten their position as royalties? They're afraid the current emperor is the first one.

Duke Del Viltaria and Marquis Shradinza had all ugly faces.

They hated how the emperor throw responsibilities at them.

Grand Duke Karsten on the other hand kept his expressionless face but deep inside he was so happy because soon his son will be the one to handle affairs as he will back out from his title. Finally, his retirement is near, it's only a matter of days.

This is what life means.

No work, just lay down and enjoy the wealth he accumulate in the past years.

Finally, it was Eugene's and others' turn.

The first one who was called is the second prince and the joy of the noble presents is visible just by the claps that resounds in the entire area. This made the crown prince's face turn pale as he realize that he was really in danger as he watch his brother kneel in front of the emperor, being put on a badge that represents merits.

Crown Prince Lincoln's eyelashes trembled as he met the second prince Maxmilian's sharp gaze.

After the second prince, Kaizer was called.

The hall fell into silence as they watch the son of the grand duke walk in the middle.

Eugene lowered his gaze and grinned.

As expected, Kaizer's authority is useful for his plan.

Kaizer receives the reward and goes back to his seat. Rasiel stood next then Casimin until it was Eugene's turn everyone also turn their attention in front. Who didn't know that the unfavor son of the Marquis awaken as a dualist? This made them scoff and look at the Marquis mockingly.
