When Valdel promised to find their relatives, some of the students present turned quiet. The girl holding his hand kept on saying thank you to him. While Lisa still looked at him skeptical of the whole thing.

Unknown to them someone else was listening in on their conversation. Once he heard Valdel announced that he would find the relatives of the other students, the person hiding in the shadows left the scene.

This person was the one who told the students that it was possible that their relatives were taken by Valdel. Of course he didn't tell them this piece of information directly, but instead started a rumor of sorts. This person has never directly talked to the people who lost their relatives, and to make sure no one would recognize him, he casted an illusion spell on his face. So when people asked to describe the person who told them the information, each person will describe a totally different person from the others.

...

The man who was eavesdropping on Valdel went into an inn, and headed straight to the second floor. Usually in this inn the whole second and third floor would be packed with people, but today there was no one. The man then knocked on the door near the end of the hallway.

"The sun will smile onto the world." Somebody inside the room spoke.

"It will come and shine its light on the crown." The man replied.

The door opened and within the room, there was a man sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by five other people. The man in the middle of the room, had a larger physique than most people, and his looks were a bit similar to Iselv.

Yet there was a distinct difference between the two, the person sitting in the middle had a very majestic aura surrounding him. His posture and everything about him feels like he was meant to stand above others. This person was none other than, the first prince of the Reschbeauch kingdom, Reynold Reschbeauch.

"Did it succeed?"

"It has succeeded, and as your majesty predicted the fool Valdel took it upon himself to find the missing relatives of the other students." Reynold nodded his head, acknowledging the report of the man.

"Your majesty, are you sure about this?" One of the five guarding the prince questioned. Another of the five then glared at the person who spoke.

"Are you questioning our liege?" The man who was glaring was about ready to pull out his weapon.

"Enough!" Hearing the command of his liege, the man no longer tried to pull out his weapon.

"Erick, are you really questioning my decision?" Reynold looked at the man called Erick with a bit of intrigue in his eyes.

"I would never question you my liege, but the warning Sepchel gave us still rings in my head." When Erick said this, another one of the five spoke.

"Are you going to believe that coward?"

"Stop it Henrick! Tell me how many of you could beat Sepchel in a straight out fight? Do not bother lying to me, since I already know all of your abilities." No one answered Reynold as they hung their heads in shame.


"There is the answer, none of you can face Sepchel one on one, and win."

Reynold then remembered the last time Sepchel came to him, it happened two days ago.

...

Sepchel stood in front of Reynold asking for forgiveness. Reynold couldn't understand what Sepchel could've done, to ask for forgiveness. Among the subordinates he as the first prince had, Sepchel was the best, he was the true embodiment of what it means to be a knight. Honor, dignity, Faith, Charity, Justice, Sagacity, Prudence, Temperance, Resolution, Truth, Liberality, Diligence, Hope, Valor. Sepchel had all of these qualities, and he tries his best to live by them. Of course he isn't perfect, but he is closest one to becoming the ideal knight.

The only reason he even followed the first prince, was because he believed that to protect the citizens, an all out war with the enemy country was the right thing to do.

So seeing this person the strongest of his retainers act like this and ask for forgiveness confused Reynold.

"Why are you asking for forgiveness? Tell me Sepchel so I may judge you." After hearing what his liege said, Sepchel began explaining his encounter with Ren.

"I'm sorry to say this my liege, but no matter what, in any circumstances please do not provoke Ren."

"How dare you say that you coward! To tell our liege to avoid a peasant in fear! Have you lost your mind?! I'm not sure why you are so afraid of this Ren person, he is but a single person. I'm certain that with our military might, no matter how strong he is he would fall." Hearing the screaming Henrick, Sepchel closed his eyes and sighed.

"I am not underestimating our military might, nor am I insinuating that we would lose... But if we fought Ren, I expect we would have heavy casualties, and about three of us six would be killed."

...

Remembering that warning from Sepchel made Erick hesitate in messing around with this person called Ren.

"I understand your concern Erick, but the damage has already been done. This person called Ren is already enemies with Sepchel's younger brother. No matter what he says, the grudge would always be there. Also I am not dealing with the person called Ren, but his friend Valdel. I'm sure I remember no mention of avoiding a person called Valdel."

The first prince Reynold was not a stupid man, and he indeed took heed of Sepchel's warning. That's one of the reason why he didn't bother to directly attack Ren, but Valdel instead. As the aspiring king of the Reschbeauch kingdom, if he bowed down to a threat by some random nobody, then how would he go about fighting the war against the neighboring kingdoms.

He must at least show this Ren, that he shouldn't threaten a subordinate of the first prince.

"The death of his friend, might make him think twice before threatening a subordinate of mine. Also after dealing with Valdel, released those nobles we captured. I'm sure they now know whose side they should take, between me and my brother."

Hearing Reynold's orders, the six people present said nothing more, and simply bowed their heads and went their way to fulfill the orders given to them.
