Chapter 100: Preparations Here And There

 "Your highness, you have our full support... I am sure this is an opportunity for you to prove to his majesty your might." Viscount Putward said, grinning. 

 The prince did not mind him but rather seemed to be perturbed by another matter as his gaze was frozen and obvious how lost in thought he was. 

 "Your highness, is there something that bothers you?" Duke Goldstein asked. 

 "Acil, is supposed to be back today, has any word been heard?" Prince Regal asked.

His question shocked the few people in the room. 

 'Why is his highness asking such a question at a time like this...' Duke Goldstein's thought beckoned unto him, the corner of his lips below his blonde moustache curved a bit. "Yes your highness, Prince Acil, arrived moments ago." 

 "By any chance was Duke Maxnor's son with him?" He asked.

 "There was no one else except him and Barathon Von Vernille."
