Murmur murmur-
"Huh."
"The zoo..."
"He's suggesting sending the prince under Director Kadam?"
Whispers.
Despite being before the emperor, the civil and military officials whispered.
The Margrave's suggestion was that shocking.
To put it bluntly, it was a suggestion to 'put the hostage prince to work at the zoo instead of the academy.'
Normally, people would have just wondered why the Margrave was acting this way.
Traditionally, it was customary to enroll princes from kingdoms in the Imperial Academy.
But sending him to the zoo?
Of course, the 'zoo' in the imperial capital Sian isn't just an amusement park.
The areas that ordinary citizens can freely access are limited.
Rare magical beasts exist there, and even named magical beasts are captured.
In other words, the Imperial Zoo is the empire's finest 'magical beast research institution'.
