Duke Baron was speechless as he looked at the first prince. Was this still the guy who always looked lethargic and tired?
"As for why I stayed here, you need my strength." Prince Renz paused and revealed his aura to the Duke which made the latter stunned.
"Peak stage Level 4 Esper! How could this be?!" Duke Baron stared at the prince with a dumbfounded look on his face. He never would have thought that the man known to everyone as the drunkard prince was actually a terrifying expert!
"Please forgive my impertinence, Your Highness!" The Duke lightly bowed his head to show his respect. He finally knew why the emperor left the family heirloom to Prince Renz. It wasn't to prevent a dispute between Prince Christopher and Prince Calvin, but because Prince Renz was the only person suitable to hold it!
Prince Renz patted the Duke's shoulder. "We should reorganize the army to prepare for the Dustin Empire's attack."
