"By the way, Prince Nolan," Orlan said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out another token.
This one was purple, with a hint of light blue. At its center was the image of a white-scaled fish, shaped somewhat like a long, slender snake.
Orlan stared at it briefly before handing it to Nolan.
"This is the token of Count Balfron's family—my wife's side. They've decided to support you and Princess Elina in the fight for the throne," he explained respectfully.
Nolan was taken aback, nearly in disbelief. He accepted the token and examined it for a moment, then looked up at Orlan.
"The Balfrons? Why would they support Elina? Was this your doing, Marquis Orlan?" he asked, intrigued.
The Balfron family was a respected noble house of Count rank, known for its close ties with the Caltheron family and a spotless public reputation.
