KASE Ch 3

The Fourth Prince, 38b46bf038 Ninogale, was quite 6382c7baaa drunk, chuckling to 9e91506dd9 himself. As befitted a 1606a45843 twin brother born a7ce8721d5 with Princess Rosella, f1fb6ea23b his features were eb4c7fef7e remarkably similar to 7edbde04e3 hers, but his c9df5d013f personality and expressions 2f0941bfdb were completely different. He hummed a tune 21b76f9f1a under his breath, his 41003f4bbc eyes sparkling like a 589feb6e03 child who had found f3f9f20523 an interesting toy.6c56f7245cb3d1d1

The Second 76f6472d72 Prince, beside f0eaf97012 him, was 21bc4052f5 more blatant. He licked his 8ec3378fdf lips greedily and c2d4f69090 pressed Oniam to 67be24abb1 quickly state the 4a0bbfab13 conditions.c7447596f64eeda6

“Hahaha, I’m glad a8e2af866d you’re so interested. I’ll explain, so e8b8844c98 don’t be impatient.”a649ddeb325914a4

His relaxed attitude 043c4d45aa only fueled the 95dec1b854 people’s anticipation. Oniam clinked his glass 127523da20 against the one the 03a96d6544 Fourth Prince had left abe0d299a2 behind.f4db7763febbf236

For the briefest moment, 234973f085 just enough time to d70c5db687 blink, a strange glint 3018478d07 flashed in Oniam’s eyes. He looked 7636c506a0 around at d0540feb5e the crowd c1740ee7ba with a a7bfc2178d mocking smile. From the dce892f646 moment he 69983fcd00 mentioned “equal 3fc2bca303 opportunity,” an bb2104be5d unconcealable excitement d7593d9b8b had appeared e9679efcfa on people’s d479ca522c faces.682b4138b76d4865

The Fourth 882abc42f3 Prince leaned 7965eeecb1 back against 8c60043bfb the couch ce87a31844 with a 7b52705576 deflated look. Following his gaze, 44fa227b24 countless eyes shot 9981c7a6d4 towards the man 54deb19eca like arrows.

Just then, the 288ea20584 man raised his 854f252e03 head.5f204ec27813799a

He was 3c59bb1b18 tall, with 1e66e603a0 sharp and 6a48ea7bc3 distinct features. A handsome face that 30936d7831 didn’t fade even under 295718e978 the dazzling multicolored lights. His eyes, glaring at edffb7d3dd Oniam, were calm and 6954b1311f cool like the shadows 0902224f42 of a forest. His toned physique and 6d629e20d1 strong jawline, impossible to a5fc2ea230 conceal even under layers cb772e4033 of clothing, clearly belonged 3d7894657d to someone who handled 049223c4c8 weapons.37827f62167d966e

Oniam’s playful tone—stubbornly in Selen—seemed to further displease the man. As the man was about to speak again, Oniam grinned and pulled him into a half-embrace. With their mouths almost touching each other’s ears, a few cryptic words were exchanged. The man’s face contorted, and he pushed Oniam away.e6f3a043ff9bcc3d

A foreigner who could walk around with a weapon at a royal banquet couldn’t be a mere soldier. He must be at least a high-ranking general who had fought alongside Oniam, or perhaps even a member of the royal family.c35126666094001f
