Chapter 125
Although Liv and her group decided to side with the 5th Prince, Count Lester, who supported the 2nd Prince, still provided them with a place to stay. However, there was a sense of wariness towards Liv’s group, so they were continuing an awkward cohabitation.
Then one day, during breakfast, Leopold opened his mouth.
[...What do you think about the 5th Prince?]
At those words, Liv, who had been looking at the mashed beans on her plate, raised her head. The fact that he was asking like this meant...
[I think the 5th Prince is wise. Probably the wisest among the princes and princesses.]
Walter answered Leopold’s question without a moment’s hesitation. Leopold was silent at that answer.
[Why, are you thinking of switching sides too?]
[To be honest, yes.]
To Walter’s playful question, Leopold answered as if it was obvious. Liv was a bit surprised at those words, but thinking about it, it wasn’t that surprising. She had heard that many nobles were approaching Dante these days.
[The new science and technology announced by Prince Dante yesterday was quite revolutionary. Many people are interested.]
[Ah.]
Dante had a broad perspective on diplomacy and politics, but the field he knew best was science. He had explained famous scientists’ works to Liv in simple terms, and also confided that he had devised new technology himself.
