The soldiers wordlessly blinked their eyes.
This silence lasted for a surprisingly long time, but eventually, they all exploded into a loud peal of laughter again.
"Hahahahah!"
"Listen to this kid! Look, everyone! Some crazy kid just showed up!"
The guffawing soldiers shouted out, and even their colleagues up on the fortress walls peered down to take a good look at me.
"This kid, he looks outwardly fine, but it seems he's lost his mind! He says he's from the Imperial Family. Not only that, he says he's the Seventh Imperial Prince, no less!"
"Seriously now, the whole world must've gone mad. I had no idea that a boy this young can also work as a clown!"
One of the soldiers dug within his pockets, found a copper coin, and tossed it in my way.
I glanced at the soldiers.
"If you're planning to entertain us, clown, make it more entertaining than this. I was actually dying of boredom just now."
