Arven's gaze fell on Aksai and the ninth member.
"The three of you, please stay. I would like to speak a bit more."
The other team members exchanged glances but did not question it. They stood up one by one.
"As you command, Your Highness."
Soon, they left the hall. The doors closed behind them. At this point, only four people remained. The prince. Lurina. Aksai. And the ninth member.
Aksai acted as if he didn't mind the private conversation. He picked up his cup but did not drink. He looked at the prince calmly. After a brief silence, he spoke.
"Your Highness," he said.
"There is something I am curious about."
The prince looked at him with interest.
"Oh?"
Aksai placed the cup down.
"You are a Foundation Establishment cultivator," he said.
"But you are still here… as a prince of the Kaan Kingdom."
He paused for a moment.
