In the splendid castle hall, the astonished gray pupils of the Great Prince reflected three powerful nobles with extraordinary auras.
Standing at the forefront was an indifferent looking middle-aged man.
He was dressed in a set of magnificent knight's attire in light gold and creamy white colors, wearing a deep red velvet coat; he was similar in age to the Great Prince and had also stepped into the prime of his life.
In stark contrast to the hot-tempered Great Prince, this middle-aged man was clearly the type to keep his emotions hidden; even in the face of the tense situation before them, his expression remained calm and unwavering.
Most striking was the family crest engraved on the middle-aged man's chest.
It was a golden stag lifting its front leg toward the sun, with thick tree-like antlers intertwined at the top – a truly unique sight.
