· You bastard, judging from your face. You have another stressful information for me, right?

"I could say the same thing to you, your highness."

Lance and Luke both sighed in unison. Lance brushed his face and asked Luke.

· So, who's going to go first? Me or you?

"You first."

Lance sighed and poured in all the information without brakes.

· Fine... The Dark Eye joined forces with the three kingdoms of the south. And the allied kingdom's name is 'The Regle Alliance'. The Dark Eye will also ship the first battle brigade to the Regle Alliance in three days.

Luke blanked out for a moment before sighing.

"Man, even the name is so cheesy."

Actually, Luke already knew the name of the alliance of the three kingdoms since he read the novel. It's just that now he has heard it in person... It sounded so cheesy to him.

· I know right? It's like a child named it. So, what's your share of stressful news?

Luke looked at Lance's tired face. He must be tired of handling the restoration of the kingdom and the Dark Eye. It is quite understandable though. Even Luke will go insane if he has too many tasks to complete at the same time. He then sighed.

"Your highness... The empire sided with the Dark Eye... No, the empire is the Dark Eye's dog."

The crown prince was silent. He then sat back in his chair and cursed. He is extremely annoyed by the situation right now.

· Fuck.... What news is going to be more shocking than that? I was about to ask for help from the empire to fight off the Dark Eye and now I know that they are allies... God almighty...

"Things will be messy for you, your highness."

· Who the fuck says that I am alone in this? You are part of this too.

Luke frowned. He noticed that Lance was now used to curse in front of him like a local thug rather than a crown prince. And, he didn't like what Lance just said.

"Why am I part of this?"

· Duh? You save the fairy kingdom from the Dark Eye, save the kingdom from the Dark Eye, save Ceb City, Hak Village, and is the one who gets me information?

Luke's face crumpled. He just wanted to throw the magic device at the wall if he could, but that would be just disrespectful. Furthermore, video communication devices are expensive, so destroying them would be a waste. Luke just sighed in frustration.

"I'll just give you the information. That's it. From now on, I'll just stay in the shadows."

Lance scoffed. He can't believe that the person who always steps up whenever there is danger is saying that he'll be in the shadows. He wanted to laugh at him so badly, but the look on Luke's face was dead serious. Lance just sighed.

· Fine... Any other info for you to give me?

"Hmm... Nothing comes to mind, your highness. I will also send you some documents later."

· What kind of sketchy document are you sending to me now?

"I can't explain it. However, you will undoubtedly appreciate it later."

Luke can't tell what will happen to Gron's kingdom to Lance yet. Not until he finished his pile of work; if Lance became ill as a result of overwork, it would be partly his fault. And he didn't want to be part of any of that.
