Chapter 348: Arcane Route (II)
"Who among you is willing to stake their name and reputation in support of Colonel Laurifer?"
There were solemn expressions on people’s faces as they heard the Grand Scholar utter those words. While the support of people should not change Cain’s grading, it would tell the world that there were influential figures in Eden who recognized his potential and character.
As expected, Klaus immediately stepped forward upon hearing the question of the Grand Scholar. A smile adorned his face, but there was an unsettling undertone behind it. However, he managed to hide his true feelings very well, and the only ones who noticed it were the Second Princess and Crown Prince.

"I, Klaus Goldsoul, pledge my name and honor in support of Colonel Laurifer."
Dominguez nodded and jotted something on the scroll. As he prepared to signal Cain, the Second Princess stepped forward.
"I, Emerald Goldsoul, pledge my name and honor in support of Colonel Laurifer."
An eerie silence pervaded the surroundings as the Second Princess voiced her commitment.
Cain was part of Klaus’ escorts during the Imperial Feast, so Klaus’ endorsement was expected. But the Second Princess’s unexpected declaration shifted dynamics.
Pledging your name in support of someone in the Arcane Route was not a small thing, and there was no reason for the Second Princess to do it unless she expected to form a relationship with Cain in the future.
Cain cast a fleeting glance at the Second Princess, his gaze sharpening, but remained silent. After the Genetic Tournament, He resolved to sever ties with the Fourth Imperial Prince and was uninterested in the Royal Family’s politics.
Although there were evident benefits he could attain by being associated with the Imperial Family, he was not willing to change his freedom and peace of mind for it.
