Hajin stood in the middle of the Royal Vault, his eyes fixed on the King. He felt completely confused and highly suspicious of the old man's sudden offer.
Just a few minutes ago, the King had handed him a noble title alongside a piece of land in front of the entire court, which was already a massive headache. Now, he was being offered a private deal in a sealed vault.
'What does he actually want from me?' he thought, keeping his hands in his pockets while his mana continued to circulate quietly through his body.
He knew he had to be careful. The King was a ruthless ruler who had survived decades of palace politics and assassinations. Getting on his bad side right now would be incredibly stupid, especially since the old man had just hinted at knowing about his mother's power.
"What kind of deal are you talking about?" He asked, keeping his voice completely flat.
The King let out a short chuckle, turning his back before walking slowly down the aisle of glowing crystals.
