Chapter 329: Cain vs the Fourth Azure Prince
"Your words are indeed true, big brother. As sons and daughters of the Golden Emperor, we should be together, especially with the advances of the Dark Races."
The one who answered the words of the Crown Prince was a beautiful woman with long blonde hair and golden pupils, and her aura seemed to merge with the world around her.
That was none other than the Second Princess. Although in this world, power mattered more than anything, there were still those who believed that gender should be decisive in the leading roles of a force. But the woman had managed to carve her path with impressive accomplishments and remarkable personal power, allowing her to be second only to the Crown Prince.
After that small toast, people finally began to eat. There was a certain level of finesse in everybody’s behavior, suitable for a place like the Heaven Sundering Hall.
However, one person did not particularly care for that, and everybody saw how they devoured the food in front of him like madmen. Yet, no one said a word since it was none other than a member of the Deus Bahamut Race.
While some frowned upon that behavior, Cain’s response was different. He looked at the young man with a short smile as he liked that behavior, to truly act according to your heart’s desires.
Still, Cain kept consuming his food with calm. There was not an excess of etiquette, but neither was he as wild as the members of the Deus Bahamut Race. He just followed the table manners his father taught him.
"Fourth Brother, I see you have a young hero in your group. Shouldn’t you present such a rising star to all of us?"
It did not take long for the small chatter between the princes and princesses to stop as the Third Prince spoke loudly, drawing attention towards Cain.
Klaus’ eyes narrowed as he heard those words from the Third Prince. He, of course, knew of the animosity between Cain and the Azure Royal Family, so this exchange could not be a good one. But there was no point in keeping silent.
"Of course, most of you should already know him. He is Cain Laurifer, Colonel of the Imperial Army and the Blood Sea Civil War hero. The man who managed to frustrate the plans of a Dark King."
People turned toward Cain and began to look at him with extreme focus. All those present were aware of such an important event as the Blood Sea Civil War since it involved two Dark Kings.
