Krane immediately noticed the tense atmosphere between Cain and the old man. Moving quickly, he positioned himself in front of Cain and bowed.
"Lord, I am thrilled to see you have emerged. The Crown Prince has been inquiring about you; we should inform him of your condition."
As soon as the Crown Prince's name was mentioned, everyone adopted a cautious demeanor towards Cain. Michael Goldsoul was among the Empire's most influential and powerful figures. Opposing him was a move only a fool would consider.
Even though they were all interested in Cain and how he remained inside the Tower of Stars for so long, no one was willing to offend the Crown Prince to satisfy their curiosity.
Cain perceived the shift in attitudes and simply nodded to Krane, signaling him to rise. He then proceeded to the teleportation formation. This time, no one dared to obstruct him.
