Cale’s expression was bored; he looked drained of all life.

“Why don’t you stop pulling that face?”

“You have the same expression, Your Highness.”

Crown Prince Albert was giving Cale a similar look. After speaking via video communication every day, they were sick of each other. Yet they needed to touch base; there was work to be done.

“The fourth prince said he’ll head to Henituse territory with three knights. I’m leaving the Empire tomorrow, so you can assume that he’ll leave around the same time.”

“I see. I’ll let Miss Rosalyn know.”

Brek’s fourth prince would arrive next month, at the latest.

“Tell Count Deruth as well.”

“Will do.”

Did his father know Rosalyn was a princess? Cale had never told him, but he assumed Deruth would know, since Hans did. He’s the leader of the Henituse family, which is pretty esteemed. I’m sure he recognized the princess.

As he lapsed into thought, Albert asked him, “Want to hear something funny?”

Cale accidentally told the truth. “Not at all.”

“I’ll tell you anyway.” Albert was ignoring his feelings, as usual. “Know how the pope of the Church of the God of Sun died?”

“Can you discuss that while you’re still in the Empire?”

“I used noise-canceling magic already. Did you forget who I am?”

He was a crown prince with tons of mages under his command, so of course he had plenty of magic devices too. Cale dipped his head in acknowledgment.

“Once the emperor announced the start of the festival, the pope launched into an opening address—understandable, considering the festival was connected to the God of Sun. He was making his speech at a podium in front of the church in the capital.”

Thinking back on the incident, Albert assumed a bitter smile. The pope had been on a platform lower than the emperor’s yet higher than the imperial prince’s, which was adjacent. The platforms had been constructed that way to honor the pope; it wasn’t anything to smile bitterly over. There had been a different issue, however.

“Then his podium went flying.”

“What?”

“His podium, the church itself—it all went flying.”

Cale was suddenly reminded of Hais Island Five. “There was an explosion?”

“You’re a sharp one. Yes, something exploded.”

That’s crazy. Cale almost said it aloud. At this point, he was confused. He’d thought that the imperial prince arranged the pope’s death, but the man wouldn’t have done something so obvious. And hadn’t Albert already said that the Sun God Twins were the culprits?

“It was similar to what happened to us,” Albert noted.

Cale’s face hardened at the word “us.” Albert could only be referring to the Plaza Terror Incident in Rowoon’s capital.

“The Sun God Twins, people in black outfits, magic bombs as strong as the ones in our capital… Are you putting two and two together?”

Cale sat there, stiff.

Gleaning enough to know what Cale was thinking, Albert went on, “I survived thanks to a mage’s shield, but the pope wasn’t the only casualty. Churchgoers in the front row were massacred. I am going to find and crush the organization that did this. They were planning to do the same
