We had been "invited" to the castle. Based on the polite wording, it was clear that the grand duke held no hostile feelings toward us. Of course, that was because Albatro knew full well that antagonizing us would mean opening themselves up to checkmate. If they caused an issue with the empire on top of the trouble with the sea dragon, it would be game over.

Given that, it would be best to courteously welcome us and persuade us to help them deal with the sea dragon. Due to their size, most dragons were treated as S-class monsters. If the Adventurers' Guild were dealing with one, they would either form a party of S- and AAA-class adventurers or give the request to an SS-class adventurer. If Albatro chose to let their military handle it, they would need plenty of soldiers and all the appropriate preparations. Suffice to say it would be nearly impossible for them to defeat the sea dragon on their own.

"Right this way."

"Thanks," I replied to our knight escort while stepping into the throne room.

The grand duke wasn't on his throne. He was kneeling at the edge of the red carpet with his head deeply bowed.

Surrounding him were several other individuals I assumed were his senior statesmen. They were also kneeling and bowing.

"Your Highness. It is an honor to make your acquaintance. I am Donato Di Albatro, grand duke of Albatro. I deeply apologize for involving you in everything that happened as a result of my country's negligence, and I give you my profound gratitude for saving the lives of so many of my people, including my own children. Thank you for all that you have done."

"We thank you, Prince Leonard!"

First the grand duke and then all of the statesmen expressed their gratitude. It was a rare and unusual sight to witness. Despite the great disparity in size and power of our two countries, he was a grand duke, and I a mere prince. In general, he ranked above me in status. It depended on the circumstances, but at most I might be his equal, never anything more.

It was beyond belief that he'd brought himself down to my level and bowed to me.

I froze at the sight, then glanced over and saw Marc was equally stunned. Although he managed to kneel, he looked bewildered as to what to do next. He was too consumed by his own uncertainty to give me advice.

Resigned to figuring it out on my own, I walked over to the grand duke, took his hands in mine, and urged him to his feet.

The grand duke was in his mid-forties and had Julio's looks with the same light brown hair and green eyes as both Julio and Eva. There was an air of kindness about him, but he looked a little on the thin side, and I had to wonder if he might be in poor health.

I knelt before him and spoke.

"Your Majesty. Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Leonard Lakes Aadler, Eighth Imperial Prince of Adrasia.
