"What?!" Kale was baffled to hear his words.
"Don't be surprised or think that I am doing this to show off before our royal father. As I said, I have to become the crown prince first to make you the emperor. And that means first I have to let royal father make me the crown prince after I take back the Shizar Kingdom."
Kale still had an unconvinced expression as he said, "I still don't get how you becoming the crown prince will benefit me. All I can see are disadvantages and getting forgotten slowly as everyone will flock towards you to get benefits."
Tristen patted his shoulder and said in a reassuring tone, "I already told you that you will just have to trust me. But if you can't do this, why don't you place a soul seal on me?"
"A soul seal?? Are you even in your right mind?" Kale couldn't help but wonder if this was indeed Tristen talking to him since what he said just now was the last thing he expected to hear from him.
